commit 00b4d9a14125f1e51874def2b9de6092e007412d upstream.

On some 32 bits architectures, including x86, GENMASK(31, 0) returns 0
instead of the expected ~0UL.

This is the same on some 64 bits architectures with GENMASK_ULL(63, 0).

This is due to an overflow in the shift operand, 1 &lt;&lt; 32 for GENMASK,
1 &lt;&lt; 64 for GENMASK_ULL.

commit ccf54555da9a5e91e454b909ca6a5303c7d6b910 upstream.

The direction field is set on 7 bits, thus we need to AND it with 0111 111 mask
in order to retrieve it, that is 0x7F, not 0xCF as it is now.

<title>ASoC: dpcm: Fix race between FE/BE updates and trigger</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ea9d0d771fcd32cd56070819749477d511ec9117 upstream.

DPCM can update the FE/BE connection states totally asynchronously
from the FE's PCM state.  Most of FE/BE state changes are protected by
mutex, so that they won't race, but there are still some actions that
are uncovered.  For example, suppose to switch a BE while a FE's
stream is running.  This would call soc_dpcm_runtime_update(), which
sets FE's runtime_update flag, then sets up and starts BEs, and clears
FE's runtime_update flag again.

When a device emits XRUN during this operation, the PCM core triggers
snd_pcm_stop(XRUN).  Since the trigger action is an atomic ops, this
isn't blocked by the mutex, thus it kicks off DPCM's trigger action.
It eventually updates and clears FE's runtime_update flag while
soc_dpcm_runtime_update() is running concurrently, and it results in
confusion.

Usually, for avoiding such a race, we take a lock.  There is a PCM
stream lock for that purpose.  However, as already mentioned, the
trigger action is atomic, and we can't take the lock for the whole
soc_dpcm_runtime_update() or other operations that include the lengthy
jobs like hw_params or prepare.

This patch provides an alternative solution.  This adds a way to defer
the conflicting trigger callback to be executed at the end of FE/BE
state changes.  For doing it, two things are introduced:

- Each runtime_update state change of FEs is protected via PCM stream
  lock.
- The FE's trigger callback checks the runtime_update flag.  If it's
  not set, the trigger action is executed there.  If set, mark the
  pending trigger action and returns immediately.
- At the exit of runtime_update state change, it checks whether the
  pending trigger is present.  If yes, it executes the trigger action
  at this point.

commit f144d1496b47e7450f41b767d0d91c724c2198bc upstream.

This can be set by quirks/drivers to be used by the architecture code
that assigns the MSI addresses.

We additionally add verification in the core MSI code that the values
assigned by the architecture do satisfy the limitation in order to fail
gracefully if they don't (ie. the arch hasn't been updated to deal with
that quirk yet).

[ Upstream commit 84bc88688e3f6ef843aa8803dbcd90168bb89faf ]

There could be a signed overflow in the following code.

The expression, (32-logmask) is comprised between 0 and 31 included.
It may be equal to 31.
In such a case the left shift will produce a signed integer overflow.
According to the C99 Standard, this is an undefined behavior.
A simple fix is to replace the signed int 1 with the unsigned int 1U.

<title>mm/compaction: do not count migratepages when unnecessary</title>

commit f8c9301fa5a2a8b873c67f2a3d8230d5c13f61b7 upstream.

During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining
non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages().  The
freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that
migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases.

The only situation when it's needed to count cc-&gt;migratepages is when
migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code.  Otherwise, the
non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated,
which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc-&gt;migratepages
list.

Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of
mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining
unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0.

This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes
the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when
the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a
negative error code.

Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when
there's nothing to migrate.  This potentially avoids some wasted cycles
and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events
where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0".  In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this
was about 75% of the events.  The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event
is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and
this one was just duplicating the info.

commit e0b9daeb453e602a95ea43853dc12d385558ce1f upstream.

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the
page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.

Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction
depending on the value of this bool.  Convert the bool to enum
migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly.  Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to
avoid unnecessary latency.

This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

commit 35979ef3393110ff3c12c6b94552208d3bdf1a36 upstream.

Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.

Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction.  This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called.  On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.

This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction.  It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated.  The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.

<title>mm, migration: add destination page freeing callback</title>

commit 68711a746345c44ae00c64d8dbac6a9ce13ac54a upstream.

Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages.  When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.

This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages.  If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.

If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails.  If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual.  This patch
introduces no functional change.

commit 29f175d125f0f3a9503af8a5596f93d714cceb08 upstream.

Commit f9acc8c7b35a ("readahead: sanify file_ra_state names") left
ra_submit with a single function call.

Move ra_submit to internal.h and inline it to save some stack.  Thanks
to Andrew Morton for commenting different versions.
