When using Edgeport/416 models with newer firmware (sometime after
firmware version 4.80.0), idle ports are automatically bounced
(disconnected and then reconnected) approximately every 60 seconds.
This breaks programs (e.g: minicom) where idle periods are common,
normal and expected.
I confirmed with the manufacturer (Digi International) that Edgeport/416
models now ship from the factory with firmware that expects periodic
"heartbeat" queries from the driver to keep idle ports alive. This
patch implements heartbeat support using the mechanism Digi suggested
(periodically requesting an I2C descriptor address) that appears effective
on Edgeports running the newer firmware (that require it) and benign on
Edgeport devices running older firmware. Since we know that Edgeport
firmware version 4.80 (the version distributed in /lib/firmware/down3.bin
and used for Edgeports that are either running still older versions or
have no onboard non-volatile firmware image) does not require heartbeat
support, this patch schedules heartbeats only on Edgeport/416 devices,
and only if they are running firmware versions newer than 4.80.

Do what we can to verify that the driver's firmware image is valid
(before attempting to download it to the Edgeport) by adding a new
function, check_fw_sanity(), and a call to it in in download_fw().
Note: It looks like some Edgeports (models like the EP/416 with on-board
E2PROM) may be able to function even if the on-disk firmware image is
bad or missing, iff their local E2PROM versions are valid. But most
Edgeport models (I've tried EP/1 and EP/8) do not appear to have this
capability and they always rely on the on-disk firmware image.
I tested an implementation that calls the new check_fw_sanity()
function at the top of download_fw() and, rather than simply returning
an error if the firmware image is bad or missing, it saves the result
and defers the decision until later when it may find that it is running
on a E2PROM-equipped device with a valid image. But I think this is
messier than it is worth (adding still more messiness to the already
very messy download_fw()) for such a marginal possible benefit. So, at
least for now, I have chosen the much simpler approach of returning an
error whenever edge_startup() fails to load an on-disk firmware image, or
check_fw_sanity() indicates that it is unusable.

[johan: drop redundant checksum mask ]
Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
The io_ti driver fails to download firmware to Edgeport
devices such as the EP/416, even when the on-disk firmware image
(/lib/firmware/edgeport/down3.bin) is more current than the version
on the EP/416. The current download code is broken in a few ways.
Notably it mis-uses global variables OperationalMajorVersion and
OperationalMinorVersion (reading their values before they've been
properly initialized and subsequently initializing them multiple times
without synchronization). This patch drops the global variables and
replaces the redundant calls to request_firmware()/release_firmware()
in download_fw() with a single call pair in edge_startup(); the firmware
image pointer is then passed to download_fw() and build_i2c_fw_hdr().

The io_ti driver fails to download firmware to Edgeport devices such as
the EP/416 and EP/421 (devices with on-board E2PROM). One of the problems
is that the default 1 second timeout in ti_vsend_sync() is insufficient
for download operations. This patch increases the download timeout to

This commit fixes the following issues:
1. The 9th bit of buf was believed to be the LSB of divisor's
exponent, but the hardware interprets it as MSB (9th bit) of the
mantissa. The exponent is actually one bit shorter and applies
to base 4, not 2 as previously believed.
2. Loop iterations doubled the exponent instead of incrementing.
3. The exponent wasn't checked for overflow.
4. The function returned requested rate instead of actual rate.
Due to issue #2, the old code deviated from the wrong formula
described in #1 and actually yielded correct rates when divisor
was lower than 4096 by using exponents of 0, 2 or 4 base-2,
interpreted as 0, 1, 2 base-4 with the 9th mantissa bit clear.
However, at 93.75 kbaud or less the rate turned out too slow
due to #2 or too fast due to #2 and #3.
I tested this patch by sending and validating 0x00,0x01,..,0xff
to an FTDI dongle at 234, 987, 2401, 9601, 31415, 115199, 250k,
500k, 750k, 1M, 1.5M, 3M+1 baud. All rates passed.
I also used pv to check speed at some rates unsupported by FTDI:
45 (the lowest possible), 2M, 4M, 5M and 6M-1. Looked sane.

fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can race with
fsnotify_destroy_marks() so when fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() drops
mark_mutex, a mark from the list iterated by
fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group_flags() can be freed and we dereference free
memory in the loop there.
Fix the problem by keeping mark_mutex held in
fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked(). The reason why we drop that mutex is that
we need to call a ->freeing_mark() callback which may acquire mark_mutex
again. To avoid this and similar lock inversion issues, we move the call
to ->freeing_mark() callback to the kthread destroying the mark.

A hexdump with a buf not aligned to the groupsize causes
non-naturally-aligned memory accesses. This was causing a kernel panic
on the processor BlackFin BF527, when such an unaligned buffer was fed
by the function ubifs_scanned_corruption in fs/ubifs/scan.c .
To fix this, change accesses to the contents of the buffer so they go
through get_unaligned(). This change should be harmless to unaligned-
access-capable architectures, and any performance hit should be anyway
dwarfed by the snprintf() processing time.

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):
mm/page_alloc.c: In function 'early_page_uninitialised':
>> mm/page_alloc.c:247:6: warning: unused variable 'nid' [-Wunused-variable]
int nid = early_pfn_to_nid(pfn);
It's due to the NODE_DATA macro ignoring the nid parameter on !NUMA
configurations. This patch avoids the warning by not declaring nid.

Some modules call config_item_init_type_name() and config_group_init_type_name()
with parameter "name" directly controlled by userspace. These two
functions call config_item_set_name() with this name used as a format
string, which can be used to leak information such as content of the
stack to userspace.
For example, make_netconsole_target() in netconsole module calls
config_item_init_type_name() with the name of a newly-created directory.
This means that the following commands give some unexpected output, with
configfs mounted in /sys/kernel/config/ and on a system with a
configured eth0 ethernet interface:
# modprobe netconsole
# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx
# echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/enabled
# echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
# dmesg |tail -n1
[ 142.697668] netconsole: target (target_ffffffffc0ae8080) is
enabled, disable to update parameters
The directory name is correct but %lx has been interpreted in the
internal item name, displayed here in the error message used by
store_dev_name() in drivers/net/netconsole.c.
To fix this, update every caller of config_item_set_name to use "%s"
when operating on untrusted input.
This issue was found using -Wformat-security gcc flag, once a __printf
attribute has been added to config_item_set_name().

Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues
at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in
Makefile). For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a
number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f ("wl18xx: show
rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
do not match the format string, c.f. for example commit 5ce1aca814
("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").
To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/. These
functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
flag.

On s390 we only can enable hugepages if the underlying hardware/hypervisor
also does support this. Common code now would assume this to be
signaled by setting HPAGE_SHIFT to 0. But on s390, where we only
support one hugepage size, there is a link between HPAGE_SHIFT and
pageblock_order.
So instead of setting HPAGE_SHIFT to 0, we will implement the check for
the hardware capability.

Heiko noticed that the current check for hugepage support on s390 is a
little bit too harsh as systems which do not support will crash.
The reason is that pageblock_order can now get negative when we set
HPAGE_SHIFT to 0. To avoid all this and to avoid opening another can of
worms with enabling HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE I think it would be best
to simply allow architectures to define their own hugepages_supported().
Revert bea41197ea ("s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time
decision") in preparation.
