2021-01-28media: rockchip: rkisp1: carry ip version informationHeiko Stuebner1-0/+16
The IP block evolved from its rk3288/rk3399 base and the vendor designates them with a numerical version. rk3399 for example is designated V10 probably meaning V1.0. There doesn't seem to be an actual version register we could read that information from, so allow the match_data to carry that information for future differentiation. Also carry that information in the hw_revision field of the media- controller API, so that userspace also has access to that. The added versions are: - V10: at least rk3288 + rk3399 - V11: seemingly unused as of now, but probably appeared in some soc - V12: at least rk3326 + px30 - V13: at least rk1808 [fix checkpatch warning don't use multiple blank lines] Signed-off-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@theobroma-systems.com> Signed-off-by: Dafna Hirschfeld <dafna.hirschfeld@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel@collabora.com> Acked-by: Helen Koike <helen.koike@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2021-01-27perf/intel: Remove Perfmon-v4 counter_freezing supportPeter Zijlstra1-6/+0
Perfmon-v4 counter freezing is fundamentally broken; remove this default disabled code to make sure nobody uses it. The feature is called Freeze-on-PMI in the SDM, and if it would do that, there wouldn't actually be a problem, *however* it does something subtly different. It globally disables the whole PMU when it raises the PMI, not when the PMI hits. This means there's a window between the PMI getting raised and the PMI actually getting served where we loose events and this violates the perf counter independence. That is, a counting event should not result in a different event count when there is a sampling event co-scheduled. This is known to break existing software (RR).

This patch is to create sysfs entry for setting keyboard language using ASL method. Some thinkpads models like T580 , T590 , T15 Gen 1 etc. has "=", "(',")" numeric keys, which are not displaying correctly, when keyboard language is other than "english".

2021-01-21dm integrity: conditionally disable "recalculate" featureMikulas Patocka1-3/+9
Otherwise a malicious user could (ab)use the "recalculate" feature that makes dm-integrity calculate the checksums in the background while the device is already usable. When the system restarts before all checksums have been calculated, the calculation continues where it was interrupted even if the recalculate feature is not requested the next time the dm device is set up. Disable recalculating if we use internal_hash or journal_hash with a key (e.g. HMAC) and we don't have the "legacy_recalculate" flag. This may break activation of a volume, created by an older kernel, that is not yet fully recalculated -- if this happens, the user should add the "legacy_recalculate" flag to constructor parameters.

2021-01-15thunderbolt: Add support for de-authorizing devicesMika Westerberg1-0/+16
In some cases it is useful to be able de-authorize devices. For example if user logs out the userspace can have a policy that disconnects PCIe devices until logged in again. This is only possible for software based connection manager as it directly controls the tunnels. For this reason make the authorized attribute accept writing 0 which makes the software connection manager to tear down the corresponding PCIe tunnel. Userspace can check if this is supported by reading a new domain attribute deauthorization, that holds 1 in that case. While there correct tb_domain_approve_switch() kernel-doc and description of authorized attribute to mention that it is only about PCIe tunnels.

2021-01-05rcu: Enable rcu_normal_after_boot unconditionally for RTJulia Cartwright1-0/+7
Expedited RCU grace periods send IPIs to all non-idle CPUs, and thus can disrupt time-critical code in real-time applications. However, there is a portion of boot-time processing (presumably before any real-time applications have started) where expedited RCU grace periods are the only option. And so it is that experience with the -rt patchset indicates that PREEMPT_RT systems should always set the rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter. This commit therefore makes the post-boot application environment safe for real-time applications by making PREEMPT_RT systems disable the rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter and acting as if this parameter had been set. This means that post-boot calls to synchronize_rcu_expedited() will be treated as if they were instead calls to synchronize_rcu(), thus preventing the IPIs, and thus avoiding disrupting real-time applications.

2021-01-05rcu: Unconditionally use rcuc threads on PREEMPT_RTScott Wood1-0/+4
PREEMPT_RT systems have long used the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter to avoid use of RCU_SOFTIRQ handlers, which can disrupt real-time applications by invoking callbacks during return from interrupts that arrived while executing time-critical code. This kernel boot parameter instead runs RCU core processing in an 'rcuc' kthread, thus allowing the scheduler to do its job of avoiding disrupting time-critical code. This commit therefore disables the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter on PREEMPT_RT systems, thus forcing such systems to do RCU core processing in 'rcuc' kthreads. This approach has long been in use by users of the -rt patchset, and there have been no complaints. There is therefore no way for the system administrator to override this choice, at least without modifying and rebuilding the kernel.

One thing worth pointing out is that this includes a quirk to work around behaviour in the i915 driver (see 65f746e8285f ("iommu: Add quirk for Intel graphic devices in map_sg")), which otherwise interacts badly with the conversion of the intel IOMMU driver over to the DMA-IOMMU APU but has being fixed properly in the DRM tree.

Since we changed the pgdat->lru_lock to lruvec->lru_lock, it's time to fix the incorrect comments in code. Also fixed some zone->lru_lock comment error from ancient time. etc. I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

2020-12-15zram: add stat to gather incompressible pages since zram set upMinchan Kim1-0/+1
Currently, zram supports the stat via /sys/block/zram/mm_stat to represent how many of incompressible pages are stored at the moment but it couldn't show how many times incompressible pages were wrote down since zram set up. It's also good indication to see how zram is effective in the system.
