commit d6a484520c upstream.
In commit 85747f ("PATCH] parport: add NetMOS 9805 support") Max added
the PCI ID for NetMOS 9805 based on a Debian bug report from 2k4 which
was at the v2.4.26 time frame. The patch made into 2.6.14.
Shortly before that patch akpm merged commit 296d3c783b ("[PATCH] Support
NetMOS based PCI cards providing serial and parallel ports") which made
into v2.6.9-rc1.
Now we have two different entries for the same PCI id.
I have here the NetMos 9805 which claims to support SPP/EPP/ECP mode.
This patch takes Max's entry for titan_1284p1 (base != -1 specifies the
ioport for ECP mode) and replaces akpm's entry for netmos_9805 which
specified -1 (=none). Both share the same PCI-ID (my card has subsystem
0x1000 / 0x0020 so it should match PCI_ANY).
While here I also drop the entry for titan_1284p2 which is the same as
netmos_9815.

With b8668fd0a7 "s390/uapi: change struct statfs[64] member types
to unsigned values" the size of a couple of struct statfs64 member got
incorrectly changed from 64 to 32 bit for 32 bit builds.
Fix this by changing the type of couple of struct statfs64 members from
unsigned long to unsigned long long.
The definition of struct compat_statfs64 was correct however.

commit 3685f19e07 upstream.
Tegra chips have 4 or 5 identical UART modules embedded. UARTs C..E have
their MODEM-control signals tied off to a static state. However UARTs A
and B can optionally route those signals to/from package pins, depending
on the exact pinmux configuration.
When these signals are not routed to package pins, false interrupts may
trigger either temporarily, or permanently, all while not showing up in
the IIR; it will read as NO_INT. This will eventually lead to the UART
IRQ being disabled due to unhandled interrupts. When this happens, the
kernel may print e.g.:
irq 68: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
In order to prevent this, enable UART_BUG_NOMSR. This prevents
UART_IER_MSI from being enabled, which prevents the false interrupts
from triggering.
In practice, this is not needed under any of the following conditions:
* On Tegra chips after Tegra30, since the HW bug has apparently been
fixed.
* On UARTs C..E since their MODEM control signals are tied to the correct
static state which doesn't trigger the issue.
* On UARTs A..B if the MODEM control signals are routed out to package
pins, since they will then carry valid signals.
However, we ignore these exceptions for now, since they are only relevant
if a board actually hooks up more than a 4-wire UART, and no currently
supported board does this. If we ever support a board that does, we can
refine the algorithm that enables UART_BUG_NOMSR to take those exceptions
into account, and/or read a flag from DT/... that indicates that the
board has hooked up and pinmux'd more than a 4-wire UART.

If the bus loading is not high, the imx28 usb can work well at the most

One problem is that recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED() uses the intfdata
value and hub->hdev->maxchild while hub_disconnect() is clearing them.
Another problem is that it uses hub->ports[i] while the port device is
being released.
To fix this race, we need to hold the device_state_lock while
hub_disconnect() changes the values. (Note that usb_disconnect()
and hub_port_connect_change() already acquire this lock at similar
critical times during a USB device's life cycle.) We also need to
remove the port devices after maxchild has been set to 0, instead of
before.

However, certain types of smartcard readers depend on specific
driver behaviour that requests 0 data bits (not 5) to change into a
different operating mode if CS5 has been set.
This patch reenables this behaviour for all FTDI devices.
Tagged to be added to stable, because it affects a lot of users of
embedded systems which rely on these readers to work properly.

The common case was fixed by commit bf5e5834bf ("pl2303: Fix mode

for instance, by using the TCSETS2-interface to repeatedly request
115201 baud, which gets mapped to 115200 and thus always triggers a

The x32 case for the recvmsg() timout handling is broken:
asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg,
unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags,
struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
{
int datagrams;
struct timespec ktspec;
if (flags & MSG_CMSG_COMPAT)
return -EINVAL;
if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)
return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen,
flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT,
(struct timespec *) timeout);
...
The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user
annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer
and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
dereference it for both reading and writing. Other callers to
__sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first.
The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c4b ("compat: Use
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels
since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support
along with this code).
Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if
CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables.
Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.

commit 27c73ae759 upstream.
Commit 7cb2ef56e6 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database
caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if
split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the
tail_page->private field.
Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running
compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in
both cases.
The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the
THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to
avoid memory corruption.
A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the
above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is
relevant for the compound_lock path too).
By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound
pages, this also fixes the below problem:

commit 1431574a1c upstream.
When decompressing into memory, the output buffer length is set to some
arbitrarily high value (0x7fffffff) to indicate the output is, virtually,
unlimited in size.
The problem with this is that some platforms have their physical memory at
high physical addresses (0x80000000 or more), and that the output buffer
address and its "unlimited" length cannot be added without overflowing.
An example of this can be found in inflate_fast():
/* next_out is the output buffer address */
out = strm->next_out - OFF;
/* avail_out is the output buffer size. end will overflow if the output
* address is >= 0x80000104 */
end = out + (strm->avail_out - 257);
This has huge consequences on the performance of kernel decompression,
since the following exit condition of inflate_fast() will be always true:
} while (in < last && out < end);
Indeed, "end" has overflowed and is now always lower than "out". As a
result, inflate_fast() will return after processing one single byte of
input data, and will thus need to be called an unreasonably high number of
times. This probably went unnoticed because kernel decompression is fast
enough even with this issue.
Nonetheless, adjusting the output buffer length in such a way that the
above pointer arithmetic never overflows results in a kernel decompression
that is about 3 times faster on affected machines.

commit 5d2f4767c4 upstream.
The only BIOS on record that needs the 14 offset has a bios major
version 2 but BMP version 1.01. Another bunch of BIOSes that need the 18
offset have BMP version 2.01 or 5.01 or higher. So instead of looking at the
bios major version, look at the BMP version. BIOSes with BMP version 0
do not contain a detectable script, so always return 0 for them.
