<title>swiotlb: Fix alignment checks when both allocation and DMA masks are present</title>

[ Upstream commit 51b30ecb73b481d5fac6ccf2ecb4a309c9ee3310 ]

Nicolin reports that swiotlb buffer allocations fail for an NVME device
behind an IOMMU using 64KiB pages. This is because we end up with a
minimum allocation alignment of 64KiB (for the IOMMU to map the buffer
safely) but a minimum DMA alignment mask corresponding to a 4KiB NVME
page (i.e. preserving the 4KiB page offset from the original allocation).
If the original address is not 4KiB-aligned, the allocation will fail
because swiotlb_search_pool_area() erroneously compares these unmasked
bits with the 64KiB-aligned candidate allocation.

Tweak swiotlb_search_pool_area() so that the DMA alignment mask is
reduced based on the required alignment of the allocation.

[ Upstream commit fb13b11d53875e28e7fbf0c26b288e4ea676aa9f ]

When a probe is registered at the trace_sys_enter() tracepoint, and that
probe changes the system call number, the old system call still gets
executed.  This worked correctly until commit b6ec41346103 ("core/entry:
Report syscall correctly for trace and audit"), which removed the
re-evaluation of the syscall number after the trace point.

Restore the original semantics by re-evaluating the system call number
after trace_sys_enter().

The performance impact of this re-evaluation is minimal because it only
takes place when a trace point is active, and compared to the actual trace
point overhead the read from a cache hot variable is negligible.

<title>tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers</title>

commit e5d7c1916562f0e856eb3d6f569629fcd535fed2 upstream.

The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file
descriptor are finished.

If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(),
and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the
other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and
that will not get called until the .read() is finished.

The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually
other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake
up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the
one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue.

When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another
thread closed its descriptor.

This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the
readers.

[ Upstream commit 7af9ded0c2caac0a95f33df5cb04706b0f502588 ]

Convert ring_buffer_wait() over to wait_event_interruptible(). The default
condition is to execute the wait loop inside __wait_event() just once.

This does not change the ring_buffer_wait() prototype yet, but
restructures the code so that it can take a "cond" and "data" parameter
and will call wait_event_interruptible() with a helper function as the
condition.

The helper function (rb_wait_cond) takes the cond function and data
parameters. It will first check if the buffer hit the watermark defined by
the "full" parameter and then call the passed in condition parameter. If
either are true, it returns true.

If rb_wait_cond() does not return true, it will set the appropriate
"waiters_pending" flag and returns false.

<title>ring-buffer: Fix full_waiters_pending in poll</title>

[ Upstream commit 8145f1c35fa648da662078efab299c4467b85ad5 ]

If a reader of the ring buffer is doing a poll, and waiting for the ring
buffer to hit a specific watermark, there could be a case where it gets
into an infinite ping-pong loop.

The poll code has:

  rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending = true;
  if (!cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full ||
      cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full &gt; full)
         cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = full;

The writer will see full_waiters_pending and check if the ring buffer is
filled over the percentage of the shortest_full value. If it is, it calls
an irq_work to wake up all the waiters.

But the code could get into a circular loop:

	CPU 0					CPU 1
	-----					-----
 [ Poll ]
   [ shortest_full = 0 ]
   rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending = true;
					  if (rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending &amp;&amp;
					      [ buffer percent ] &gt; shortest_full) {
					         rbwork-&gt;wakeup_full = true;
					         [ queue_irqwork ]

   cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = full;

					  [ IRQ work ]
					  if (rbwork-&gt;wakeup_full) {
					        cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = 0;
					        wakeup poll waiters;
  [woken]
   if ([ buffer percent ] &gt; full)
      break;
   rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending = true;
					  if (rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending &amp;&amp;
					      [ buffer percent ] &gt; shortest_full) {
					         rbwork-&gt;wakeup_full = true;
					         [ queue_irqwork ]

   cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = full;

					  [ IRQ work ]
					  if (rbwork-&gt;wakeup_full) {
					        cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = 0;
					        wakeup poll waiters;
  [woken]

 [ Wash, rinse, repeat! ]

In the poll, the shortest_full needs to be set before the
full_pending_waiters, as once that is set, the writer will compare the
current shortest_full (which is incorrect) to decide to call the irq_work,
which will reset the shortest_full (expecting the readers to update it).

Also move the setting of full_waiters_pending after the check if the ring
buffer has the required percentage filled. There's no reason to tell the
writer to wake up waiters if there are no waiters.

full_pending_waiters, as once that is set, the writer will compare the
current shortest_full (which is incorrect) to decide to call the irq_work,
which will reset the shortest_full (expecting the readers to update it).

Also move the setting of full_waiters_pending after the check if the ring
buffer has the required percentage filled. There's no reason to tell the
writer to wake up waiters if there are no waiters.

[ Upstream commit 68282dd930ea38b068ce2c109d12405f40df3f93 ]

The "shortest_full" variable is used to keep track of the waiter that is
waiting for the smallest amount on the ring buffer before being woken up.
When a tasks waits on the ring buffer, it passes in a "full" value that is
a percentage. 0 means wake up on any data. 1-100 means wake up from 1% to
100% full buffer.

As all waiters are on the same wait queue, the wake up happens for the
waiter with the smallest percentage.

The problem is that the smallest_full on the cpu_buffer that stores the
smallest amount doesn't get reset when all the waiters are woken up. It
does get reset when the ring buffer is reset (echo &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/trace).

This means that tasks may be woken up more often then when they want to
be. Instead, have the shortest_full field get reset just before waking up
all the tasks. If the tasks wait again, they will update the shortest_full
before sleeping.

Also add locking around setting of shortest_full in the poll logic, and
change "work" to "rbwork" to match the variable name for rb_irq_work
structures that are used in other places.

[ Upstream commit 761d9473e27f0c8782895013a3e7b52a37c8bcfc ]

The rb_watermark_hit() checks if the amount of data in the ring buffer is
above the percentage level passed in by the "full" variable. If it is, it
returns true.

But it also sets the "shortest_full" field of the cpu_buffer that informs
writers that it needs to call the irq_work if the amount of data on the
ring buffer is above the requested amount.

The rb_watermark_hit() always sets the shortest_full even if the amount in
the ring buffer is what it wants. As it is not going to wait, because it
has what it wants, there's no reason to set shortest_full.

[ Upstream commit b3594573681b53316ec0365332681a30463edfd6 ]

A task can wait on a ring buffer for when it fills up to a specific
watermark. The writer will check the minimum watermark that waiters are
waiting for and if the ring buffer is past that, it will wake up all the
waiters.

The waiters are in a wait loop, and will first check if a signal is
pending and then check if the ring buffer is at the desired level where it
should break out of the loop.

If a file that uses a ring buffer closes, and there's threads waiting on
the ring buffer, it needs to wake up those threads. To do this, a
"wait_index" was used.

Before entering the wait loop, the waiter will read the wait_index. On
wakeup, it will check if the wait_index is different than when it entered
the loop, and will exit the loop if it is. The waker will only need to
update the wait_index before waking up the waiters.

This had a couple of bugs. One trivial one and one broken by design.

The trivial bug was that the waiter checked the wait_index after the
schedule() call. It had to be checked between the prepare_to_wait() and
the schedule() which it was not.

The main bug is that the first check to set the default wait_index will
always be outside the prepare_to_wait() and the schedule(). That's because
the ring_buffer_wait() doesn't have enough context to know if it should
break out of the loop.

The loop itself is not needed, because all the callers to the
ring_buffer_wait() also has their own loop, as the callers have a better
sense of what the context is to decide whether to break out of the loop
or not.

Just have the ring_buffer_wait() block once, and if it gets woken up, exit
the function and let the callers decide what to do next.

<title>serial: Lock console when calling into driver before registration</title>

[ Upstream commit 801410b26a0e8b8a16f7915b2b55c9528b69ca87 ]

During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have
two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the
case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due
to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is
possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks
to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access
TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on
the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate.

In particular, for setup() we have:

univ8250_console_setup()
-&gt; serial8250_console_setup()
-&gt; uart_set_options()
-&gt; serial8250_set_termios()
-&gt; serial8250_do_set_termios()
-&gt; serial8250_do_set_divisor()

For config_port() we have:

serial8250_config_port()
-&gt; autoconfig()

For pm() we have:

serial8250_pm()
-&gt; serial8250_do_pm()
-&gt; serial8250_set_sleep()

For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices):

serial8250_set_mctrl()
-&gt; omap8250_set_mctrl()
-&gt; __omap8250_set_mctrl()

To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked
during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent
the earlycon driver from running concurrently.

Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver
that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would
result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues
to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called
through uart_configure_port().

Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary
(and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config()
which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows
the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console
code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real
console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual
drivers.
