[ Upstream commit b1f373a11d25fc9a5f7679c9b85799fe09b0dc4a ]

VAG power control is improved to fit the manual [1]. This patch fixes as
minimum one bug: if customer muxes Headphone to Line-In right after boot,
the VAG power remains off that leads to poor sound quality from line-in.

I.e. after boot:
  - Connect sound source to Line-In jack;
  - Connect headphone to HP jack;
  - Run following commands:
  $ amixer set 'Headphone' 80%
  $ amixer set 'Headphone Mux' LINE_IN

Change VAG power on/off control according to the following algorithm:
  - turn VAG power ON on the 1st incoming event.
  - keep it ON if there is any active VAG consumer (ADC/DAC/HP/Line-In).
  - turn VAG power OFF when there is the latest consumer's pre-down event
    come.
  - always delay after VAG power OFF to avoid pop.
  - delay after VAG power ON if the initiative consumer is Line-In, this
    prevents pop during line-in muxing.

According to the data sheet [1], to avoid any pops/clicks,
the outputs should be muted during input/output
routing changes.

commit f88eb7c0d002a67ef31aeb7850b42ff69abc46dc upstream.

We currently don't validate the beacon head, i.e. the header,
fixed part and elements that are to go in front of the TIM
element. This means that the variable elements there can be
malformed, e.g. have a length exceeding the buffer size, but
most downstream code from this assumes that this has already
been checked.

Add the necessary checks to the netlink policy.

commit 7388afe09143210f555bdd6c75035e9acc1fab96 upstream.

Enforce the first argument to be a correct type of a pointer to struct
element and avoid unnecessary typecasts from const to non-const pointers
(the change in validate_ie_attr() is needed to make this part work). In
addition, avoid signed/unsigned comparison within for_each_element() and
mark struct element packed just in case.

<title>cfg80211: add and use strongly typed element iteration macros</title>

commit 0f3b07f027f87a38ebe5c436490095df762819be upstream.

Rather than always iterating elements from frames with pure
u8 pointers, add a type "struct element" that encapsulates
the id/datalen/data format of them.

Then, add the element iteration macros
 * for_each_element
 * for_each_element_id
 * for_each_element_extid

which take, as their first 'argument', such a structure and
iterate through a given u8 array interpreting it as elements.

While at it and since we'll need it, also add
 * for_each_subelement
 * for_each_subelement_id
 * for_each_subelement_extid

which instead of taking data/length just take an outer element
and use its data/datalen.

Also add for_each_element_completed() to determine if any of
the loops above completed, i.e. it was able to parse all of
the elements successfully and no data remained.

Use for_each_element_id() in cfg80211_find_ie_match() as the
first user of this.

<title>coresight: etm4x: Use explicit barriers on enable/disable</title>

commit 1004ce4c255fc3eb3ad9145ddd53547d1b7ce327 upstream.

Synchronization is recommended before disabling the trace registers
to prevent any start or stop points being speculative at the point
of disabling the unit (section 7.3.77 of ARM IHI 0064D).

Synchronization is also recommended after programming the trace
registers to ensure all updates are committed prior to normal code
resuming (section 4.3.7 of ARM IHI 0064D).

Let's ensure these syncronization points are present in the code
and clearly commented.

Note that we could rely on the barriers in CS_LOCK and
coresight_disclaim_device_unlocked or the context switch to user
space - however coresight may be of use in the kernel.

On armv8 the mb macro is defined as dsb(sy) - Given that the etm4x is
only used on armv8 let's directly use dsb(sy) instead of mb(). This
removes some ambiguity and makes it easier to correlate the code with
the TRM.

commit cc3a7bfe62b947b423fcb2cfe89fcba92bf48fa3 upstream.

Today, put_compat_statfs64() disallows nearly any field value over
2^32 if f_bsize is only 32 bits, but that makes no sense.
compat_statfs64 is there for the explicit purpose of providing 64-bit
fields for f_files, f_ffree, etc.  And f_bsize is always only 32 bits.

As a result, 32-bit userspace gets -EOVERFLOW for i.e.  large file
counts even with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 set.

In reality, only f_bsize and f_frsize can legitimately overflow
(fields like f_type and f_namelen should never be large), so test
only those fields.

This bug was discussed at length some time ago, and this is the proposal
Al suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/6/640.  It seemed to get
dropped amid the discussion of other related changes, but this
part seems obviously correct on its own, so I've picked it up and
sent it, for expediency.

[ Upstream commit b63fd11cced17fcb8e133def29001b0f6aaa5e06 ]

When using 'perf stat' with repeat and interval option, it shows wrong
values for events.

The wrong values will be shown for the first interval on the second and
subsequent repetitions.

Without the fix:

prev_raw_counts is allocated when using intervals. This is used when
calculating the difference in the counts of events when using interval.

The current counts are stored in prev_raw_counts to calculate the
differences in the next iteration.

On the first interval of the second and subsequent repetitions,
prev_raw_counts would be the values stored in the last interval of the
previous repetitions, while the current counts will only be for the
first interval of the current repetition.

Hence there is a possibility of events showing up as big number.

Fix this by resetting prev_raw_counts whenever perf stat repeats the
command.

With the fix:

  # perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5

This was broken since the cset introducing the --interval feature, i.e.
--repeat + --interval wasn't tested at that point, add the Fixes tag so
that automatic scripts can pick this up.

The wrong values will be shown for the first interval on the second and

[ Upstream commit 443f2d5ba13d65ccfd879460f77941875159d154 ]

Observe a segmentation fault when 'perf stat' is asked to repeat forever
with the interval option.

Without fix:

  # perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
  #           time             counts unit events
       5.000211692  3,13,89,82,34,157      cycles
      10.000380119  1,53,98,52,22,294      cycles
      10.040467280       17,16,79,265      cycles
  Segmentation fault

This problem was only observed when we use forever option aka -r 0 and
works with limited repeats. Calling print_counter with ts being set to
NULL, is not a correct option when interval is set. Hence avoid
print_counter(NULL,..)  if interval is set.

With fix:

  # perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
   #           time             counts unit events
       5.019866622  3,15,14,43,08,697      cycles

Mostly the same as just before this patch:

[ Upstream commit 0216234c2eed1367a318daeb9f4a97d8217412a0 ]

We release wrong pointer on error path in cpu_cache_level__read
function, leading to segfault:

  (gdb) r record ls
  Starting program: /root/perf/tools/perf/perf record ls
  ...
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  double free or corruption (out)

  Thread 1 "perf" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

  (gdb) bt

Releasing the proper pointer.
