2016-10-04net: phy: Add Edge-rate driver for Microsemi PHYs.Raju Lakkaraju1-0/+58
Edge-rate: As system and networking speeds increase, a signal's output transition, also know as the edge rate or slew rate (V/ns), takes on greater importance because high-speed signals come with a price. That price is an assortment of interference problems like ringing on the line, signal overshoot and undershoot, extended signal settling times, crosstalk noise, transmission line reflections, false signal detection by the receiving device and electromagnetic interference (EMI) -- all of which can negate the potential gains designers are seeking when they try to increase system speeds through the use of higher performance logic devices. The fact is, faster signaling edge rates can cause a higher level of electrical noise or other type of interference that can actually lead to slower line speeds and lower maximum system frequencies. This parameter allow the board designers to change the driving strange, and thereby change the EMI behavioral. Edge-rate parameters (vddmac, edge-slowdown) get from Device Tree. Tested on Beaglebone Black with VSC 8531 PHY. Signed-off-by: Raju Lakkaraju <Raju.Lakkaraju@microsemi.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "First off, the ACPICA code in the kernel is updated to upstream revision 20160831 that brings in a few bug fixes and cleanups. In particular, it is possible to mask GPEs now (and the sysfs interface for GPE control is fixed on top of that), problems related to the table loading mechanism are fixed and all code related to FADT version 2 (which has never been part of the ACPI specification) is dropped. On the new features front, there is a new watchdog driver based on the ACPI WDAT (ACPI Watchdog Action Table), needed on some platforms to replace the iTCO watchdog that doesn't work there, and some UART devices get new definitions of built-in properties (to be accessed via the generic device properties API). Also, included is a fix for an ACPI-related PCI resorces allocation issue and a few problems in the EC driver and in the button and battery drivers are fixed. In addition to that, the ACPI CPPC library is updated to make batching of requests sent over the PCC channel possible (which reduces the PCC usage overhead substantially in some cases) and to support functional fixed hardware (FFH) type of CPPC registers access (which will allow CPPC to be used on x86 too in the future). As usual, there are some assorted fixes and cleanups too. Specifics: - Update of the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20160831 with the following major changes: * New mechanism for GPE masking. * Fixes for issues related to the LoadTable operator and table loading. * Fixes for issues related to so-called module-level code (MLC), that is AML that doesn't belong to any methods. * Change of the return value of the _OSI method to reflect the Windows behavior. * GAS (Generic Address Structure) support fix related to 32-bit FADT addresses. * Elimination of unnecessary FADT version 2 support. * ACPI tools fixes and cleanups.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Traditionally, cpufreq is the area with the greatest number of changes, but there are fewer of them than last time. There also is some activity in the generic power domains and the devfreq frameworks, a couple of system suspend and hibernation fixes and some assorted changes in other places. One new feature is the cpufreq change to allow the scheduler to pass hints to the governors' utilization update callbacks and some code rework based on that. Another one is the support for domain removal in the generic power domains framework. Also it is now possible to use hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO enabled and devfreq supports the RockChip DFI controller and the rk3399 DMC. The rest of the changes is mostly fixes and cleanups in a number of places. Specifics: - Add a mechanism for passing hints from the scheduler to cpufreq governors via their utilization update callbacks and use it to introduce "IOwait boosting" into the schedutil governor and intel_pstate that will make them boost performance if the enqueued task was previously waiting on I/O (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix a schedutil governor problem that causes it to overestimate utilization if SMT is in use (Steve Muckle). - Update defconfigs trying to use the schedutil governor as a module which is not possible any more (Javier Martinez Canillas). - Update the intel_pstate's pstate_sample tracepoint to take "IOwait boosting" into account (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Fix a problem in the cpufreq core causing it to mishandle the initialization of CPUs registered after the cpufreq driver (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki). - Make the cpufreq-dt driver support per-policy governor tunables, clean it up and update its Kconfig description (Viresh Kumar). - Add support for more ARM platforms to the cpufreq-dt driver (Chanwoo Choi, Dave Gerlach, Geert Uytterhoeven). - Make the cpufreq CPPC driver report frequencies in KHz to avoid user space compatiblility issues (Al Stone, Hoan Tran). - Clean up a few cpufreq drivers (st, kirkwood, SCPI) a bit (Colin Ian King, Markus Elfring). - Constify some local structures in the intel_pstate driver (Julia Lawall). - Add a Documentation/cpu-freq/ entry to MAINTAINERS (Jean Delvare). - Add support for PM domain removal to the generic power domains (genpd) framework, add new DT helper functions to it and make it always enable debugfs support if available (Jon Hunter, Tomeu Vizoso). - Clean up the generic power domains (genpd) framework and make it avoid measuring power-on and power-off latencies during system-wide PM transitions (Ulf Hansson). - Add support for the RockChip DFI controller and the rk3399 DMC to the devfreq framework (Lin Huang, Axel Lin, Arnd Bergmann). - Add COMPILE_TEST to the devfreq framework (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Stephen Rothwell). - Fix a minor issue in the exynos-ppmu devfreq driver and fix up devfreq Kconfig indentation style (Wei Yongjun, Jisheng Zhang). - Fix the system suspend interface to make suspend-to-idle work if platform suspend operations have not been registered (Sudeep Holla). - Make it possible to use hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO enabled (Anisse Astier). - Increas the default timeout of the system suspend/resume watchdog and make it depend on EXPERT (Chen Yu). - Make the operating performance points (OPP) framework avoid using OPPs that aren't supported by the platform and fix a build warning in it (Dave Gerlach, Arnd Bergmann). - Fix the ARM cpuidle driver's return value (Christophe Jaillet). - Make the SmartReflex AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) driver use more common logging style (Joe Perches)" * tag 'pm-4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (58 commits) PM / OPP: Don't support OPP if it provides supported-hw but platform does not cpufreq: st: add missing \n to end of dev_err message cpufreq: kirkwood: add missing \n to end of dev_err messages PM / Domains: Rename pm_genpd_sync_poweron|poweroff() PM / Domains: Don't measure latency of ->power_on|off() during system PM PM / Domains: Remove redundant system PM callbacks PM / Domains: Simplify detaching a device from its genpd PM / devfreq: rk3399_dmc: Remove explictly regulator_put call in .remove PM / devfreq: rockchip: add PM_DEVFREQ_EVENT dependency PM / OPP: avoid maybe-uninitialized warning PM / Domains: Allow holes in genpd_data.domains array cpufreq: CPPC: Avoid overflow when calculating desired_perf cpufreq: ti: Use generic platdev driver cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add io_boost trace partial revert of "PM / devfreq: Add COMPILE_TEST for build coverage" cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use IOWAIT flag in Atom algorithm cpufreq: schedutil: Add iowait boosting cpufreq / sched: SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag to indicate iowait condition PM / Domains: Add support for removing nested PM domains by provider PM / Domains: Add support for removing PM domains ...

2016-10-01iio: 104-quad-8: Add IIO support for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8William Breathitt Gray1-0/+125
The ACCES 104-QUAD-8 is a general purpose quadrature encoder counter/interface board. The 104-QUAD-8 is capable of monitoring the outputs of eight encoders via four on-board LSI/CSI LS7266R1 24-bit dual-axis quadrature counter chips. Core functions handled by the LS7266R1, such as direction and total count, are available. Performing a write to a counter's IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW sets the counter and also clears the counter's respective error flag. Although the counters have a 25-bit range, only the lower 24 bits may be set, either directly or via a counter's preset attribute. Interrupts are not supported by this driver. This driver adds IIO support for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8 and ACCES 104-QUAD-4. The base port addresses for the devices may be configured via the base array module parameter.

2016-09-30mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mountsEric W. Biederman1-0/+7
CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace. mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2 mount --make-rshared / for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem as some people have managed to hit this by accident. As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned. Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users as follows: > The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of > the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance > problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less > than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired. > > Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that > have been triggered and not yet expired. > > The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common > case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've > not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries. > > The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large > number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat > more active mounts. So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and malfunctioning programs. For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

2016-09-29ipmi: add an Aspeed BT IPMI BMC driverAlistair Popple2-0/+23
This patch adds a simple device driver to expose the iBT interface on Aspeed SOCs (AST2400 and AST2500) as a character device. Such SOCs are commonly used as BMCs (BaseBoard Management Controllers) and this driver implements the BMC side of the BT interface. The BT (Block Transfer) interface is used to perform in-band IPMI communication between a host and its BMC. Entire messages are buffered before sending a notification to the other end, host or BMC, that there is data to be read. Usually, the host emits requests and the BMC responses but the specification provides a mean for the BMC to send SMS Attention (BMC-to-Host attention or System Management Software attention) messages. For this purpose, the driver introduces a specific ioctl on the device: 'BT_BMC_IOCTL_SMS_ATN' that can be used by the system running on the BMC to signal the host of such an event. The device name defaults to '/dev/ipmi-bt-host' Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <alistair@popple.id.au> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> [clg: - checkpatch fixes - added a devicetree binding documentation - replace 'bt_host' by 'bt_bmc' to reflect that the driver is the BMC side of the IPMI BT interface - renamed the device to 'ipmi-bt-host' - introduced a temporary buffer to copy_{to,from}_user - used platform_get_irq() - moved the driver under drivers/char/ipmi/ but kept it as a misc device - changed the compatible cell to "aspeed,ast2400-bt-bmc" ] Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> [clg: - checkpatch --strict fixes - removed the use of devm_iounmap, devm_kfree in cleanup paths - introduced an atomic-t to limit opens to 1 - introduced a mutex to protect write/read operations] Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org> Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>
