Documentation: refer to config RANDOMIZE_BASE for kernel address-space randomization

2022-01-27T08:01:00+00:00

commit 82ca67321f55a8d1da6ac3ed611da3c32818bb37 upstream. The config RANDOMIZE_SLAB does not exist, the authors probably intended to refer to the config RANDOMIZE_BASE, which provides kernel address-space randomization. They probably just confused SLAB with BASE (these two four-letter words coincidentally share three common letters), as they also point out the config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM as further randomization within the same sentence. Fix the reference of the config for kernel address-space randomization to the config that provides that.

KVM: VMX: Fix stale docs for kvm-intel.emulate_invalid_guest_state

2021-12-29T11:17:36+00:00

commit 0ff29701ffad9a5d5a24344d8b09f3af7b96ffda upstream. Update the documentation for kvm-intel's emulate_invalid_guest_state to rectify the description of KVM's default behavior, and to document that the behavior and thus parameter only applies to L1.

bonding: fix ad_actor_system option setting to default

2021-12-29T11:17:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1c15b05baea71a5ff98235783e3e4ad227760876 ] When 802.3ad bond mode is configured the ad_actor_system option is set to "00:00:00:00:00:00". But when trying to set the all-zeroes MAC as actors' system address it was failing with EINVAL. An all-zeroes ethernet address is valid, only multicast addresses are not valid values.

pinctrl: armada-37xx: Correct PWM pins definitions

2021-12-08T07:46:51+00:00

commit baf8d6899b1e8906dc076ef26cc633e96a8bb0c3 upstream. The PWM pins on North Bridge on Armada 37xx can be configured into PWM or GPIO functions. When in PWM function, each pin can also be configured to drive low on 0 and tri-state on 1 (LED mode). The current definitions handle this by declaring two pin groups for each pin: - group "pwmN" with functions "pwm" and "gpio" - group "ledN_od" ("od" for open drain) with functions "led" and "gpio" This is semantically incorrect. The correct definition for each pin should be one group with three functions: "pwm", "led" and "gpio". Change the "pwmN" groups to support "led" function. Remove "ledN_od" groups. This cannot break backwards compatibility with older device trees: no device tree uses it since there is no PWM driver for this SOC yet. Also "ledN_od" groups are not even documented.

xen/balloon: add late_initcall_sync() for initial ballooning done

2021-11-26T10:40:25+00:00

commit 40fdea0284bb20814399da0484a658a96c735d90 upstream. When running as PVH or HVM guest with actual memory < max memory the hypervisor is using "populate on demand" in order to allow the guest to balloon down from its maximum memory size. For this to work correctly the guest must not touch more memory pages than its target memory size as otherwise the PoD cache will be exhausted and the guest is crashed as a result of that. In extreme cases ballooning down might not be finished today before the init process is started, which can consume lots of memory. In order to avoid random boot crashes in such cases, add a late init call to wait for ballooning down having finished for PVH/HVM guests. Warn on console if initial ballooning fails, panic() after stalling for more than 3 minutes per default. Add a module parameter for changing this timeout.

regulator: s5m8767: do not use reset value as DVS voltage if GPIO DVS is disabled

2021-11-26T10:40:23+00:00

commit b16bef60a9112b1e6daf3afd16484eb06e7ce792 upstream. The driver and its bindings, before commit 04f9f068a619 ("regulator: s5m8767: Modify parsing method of the voltage table of buck2/3/4") were requiring to provide at least one safe/default voltage for DVS registers if DVS GPIO is not being enabled. IOW, if s5m8767,pmic-buck2-uses-gpio-dvs is missing, the s5m8767,pmic-buck2-dvs-voltage should still be present and contain one voltage. This requirement was coming from driver behavior matching this condition (none of DVS GPIO is enabled): it was always initializing the DVS selector pins to 0 and keeping the DVS enable setting at reset value (enabled). Therefore if none of DVS GPIO is enabled in devicetree, driver was configuring the first DVS voltage for buck[234]. Mentioned commit 04f9f068a619 ("regulator: s5m8767: Modify parsing method of the voltage table of buck2/3/4") broke it because DVS voltage won't be parsed from devicetree if DVS GPIO is not enabled. After the change, driver will configure bucks to use the register reset value as voltage which might have unpleasant effects. Fix this by relaxing the bindings constrain: if DVS GPIO is not enabled in devicetree (therefore DVS voltage is also not parsed), explicitly disable it.

dt-bindings: mtd: gpmc: Fix the ECC bytes vs. OOB bytes equation

[ Upstream commit 778cb8e39f6ec252be50fc3850d66f3dcbd5dd5a ] "PAGESIZE / 512" is the number of ECC chunks. "ECC_BYTES" is the number of bytes needed to store a single ECC code. "2" is the space reserved by the bad block marker. "2 + (PAGESIZE / 512) * ECC_BYTES" should of course be lower or equal than the total number of OOB bytes, otherwise it won't fit.
