Currently, the PLL is turned off for AR9485 when
switching to a low power state, but AR9485 has an issue
where the card will become unresponsive if left idle
for a long time without any traffic. To fix this,
force the PLL to always be on using a different initval
array, ar9485_1_1_pll_on_cdr_on_clkreq_disable_L1.
This is done for most of the AR9485 based cards
like HB125, WB225 etc. but certain models require the
feature to be turned off. Identify such cards and use
default values for them.

[1] The gpmi uses the nand_command_lp to issue the commands to NAND chips.
The gpmi issues a DMA operation with gpmi_cmd_ctrl when it handles
a NAND_CMD_NONE control command. So when we read a page(NAND_CMD_READ0)
from the NAND, we may send two DMA operations back-to-back.
If we do not serialize the two DMA operations, we will meet a bug when
1.1) we enable CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, CONFIG_DMADEVICES_DEBUG,
and CONFIG_DEBUG_SG.
1.2) Use the following commands in an UART console and a SSH console:
cmd 1: while true;do dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/dev/null;done
cmd 1: while true;do dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null;done
The kernel log shows below:

1.3) Assume the two DMA operations is X (first) and Y (second).
The root cause of the bug:
Assume process P issues DMA X, and sleep on the completion
@this->dma_done. X's tasklet callback is dma_irq_callback. It firstly
wake up the process sleeping on the completion @this->dma_done,
and then trid to unmap the scatterlist S. The waked process P will
issue Y in another ARM core. Y initializes S->sg_magic to zero
with sg_init_one(), while dma_irq_callback is unmapping S at the same
time.
See the diagram:
ARM core 0 | ARM core 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
(P issues DMA X, then sleep) --> |
|
(X's tasklet wakes P) --> |
|
| <-- (P begin to issue DMA Y)
|
(X's tasklet unmap the |
scatterlist S with dma_unmap_sg) --> | <-- (Y calls sg_init_one() to init
| scatterlist S)
|
[2] This patch serialize both the X and Y in the following way:
Unmap the DMA scatterlist S firstly, and wake up the process at the end
of the DMA callback, in such a way, Y will be executed after X.
After this patch:
ARM core 0 | ARM core 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
(P issues DMA X, then sleep) --> |
|
(X's tasklet unmap the |
scatterlist S with dma_unmap_sg) --> |
|
(X's tasklet wakes P) --> |
|
| <-- (P begin to issue DMA Y)
|
| <-- (Y calls sg_init_one() to init
| scatterlist S)

We were using it at 10 kHz, which doesn't work in machines where somehow
the max freq was auto reduced by the kernel:
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf test 19
19: Test software clock events have valid period values : FAILED!
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf test -v 19
19: Test software clock events have valid period values :

---- end ----
Test software clock events have valid period values: FAILED!
[root@ssdandy ~]#
[root@ssdandy ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
7000
Reducing it to 500 Hz should be good enough for this test and also
shouldn't affect what it is testing.
But warn the user if it fails, informing the knob and the freq tried.

All of the rtlwifi drivers have an error in the routine that tests if
the data is "special". If it is, the subsequant transmission will be
at the lowest rate to enhance reliability. The 16-bit quantity is
big-endian, but was being extracted in native CPU mode. One of the
effects of this bug is to inhibit association under some conditions
as the TX rate is too high.
Based on suggestions by Joe Perches, the entire routine is rewritten.
One of the local headers contained duplicates of some of the ETH_P_XXX
definitions. These are deleted.

kmalloc on efuse_word can return null, leading to free'ing of
elements in efuse_word on the error exit path even though it has not
been allocated. Instead, don't free the elements of efuse_word if
kmalloc failed.
Also, kmalloc of any of the arrays in efuse_word[] can also fail,
leading to undefined contents in the remaining elements leading to
problems when free'ing these elements later on. So kzalloc efuse_word
to ensure the kfree on the remaining elements won't cause breakage.

prandom fixes/improvements
====================
It would be great if you could still consider this series that fixes and
improves prandom for 3.13. We have sent it to netdev as prandom() originally
came from net/core/utils.c and networking is its main user. For a detailled
description, please see individual patches.
For patch 3 in this series, there will be a minor merge conflict with the
random tree that is for 3.13. See below how to resolve it.
====
Hannes says: on merge with the random tree I would suggest to resolve the
conflict in drivers/char/random.c like this:
if (r->entropy_total > 128) {
r->initialized = 1;
r->entropy_total = 0;
if (r == &nonblocking_pool) {
prandom_reseed_late();
pr_notice("random: %s pool is initialized\n",
r->name);
}
}
So it won't generate a warning if DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT gets activated.
====
Patch 1 should probably also go to -stable.
Set tested on 32 and 64 bit machines.
Thanks a lot!

We generated a battery of 100 test cases from GSL taus113 implemention
and compare the results from a particular seed and a particular
iteration with our implementation in the kernel. We have verified on
32 and 64 bit machines that our taus113 kernel implementation gives
same results as GSL taus113 implementation:
[ 0.147370] prandom: seed boundary self test passed
[ 0.148078] prandom: 100 self tests passed
This is a Kconfig option that is disabled on default, just like the
crc32 init selftests in order to not unnecessary slow down boot process.
We also refactored out prandom_seed_very_weak() as it's now used in
multiple places in order to reduce redundant code.
GSL code we used for generating test cases:
int i, j;
srand(time(NULL));
for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {
int iteration = 500 + (rand() % 500);
gsl_rng_default_seed = rand() + 1;
gsl_rng *r = gsl_rng_alloc(gsl_rng_taus113);
printf("\t{ %lu, ", gsl_rng_default_seed);
for (j = 0; j < iteration - 1; ++j)
gsl_rng_get(r);
printf("%u, %lu },\n", iteration, gsl_rng_get(r));
gsl_rng_free(r);
}

Since we use prandom*() functions quite often in networking code
i.e. in UDP port selection, netfilter code, etc, upgrade the PRNG
from Pierre L'Ecuyer's original paper "Maximally Equidistributed
Combined Tausworthe Generators", Mathematics of Computation, 65,
213 (1996), 203--213 to the version published in his errata paper [1].
The Tausworthe generator is a maximally-equidistributed generator,
that is fast and has good statistical properties [1].
The version presented there upgrades the 3 state LFSR to a 4 state
LFSR with increased periodicity from about 2^88 to 2^113. The
algorithm is presented in [1] by the very same author who also
designed the original algorithm in [2].
Also, by increasing the state, we make it a bit harder for attackers
to "guess" the PRNGs internal state. See also discussion in [3].
Now, as we use this sort of weak initialization discussed in [3]
only between core_initcall() until late_initcall() time [*] for
prandom32*() users, namely in prandom_init(), it is less relevant
from late_initcall() onwards as we overwrite seeds through
prandom_reseed() anyways with a seed source of higher entropy, that
is, get_random_bytes(). In other words, a exhaustive keysearch of
96 bit would be needed. Now, with the help of this patch, this
state-search increases further to 128 bit. Initialization needs
to make sure that s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15, s4 > 127.
taus88 and taus113 algorithm is also part of GSL. I added a test
case in the next patch to verify internal behaviour of this patch
with GSL and ran tests with the dieharder 3.31.1 RNG test suite:
$ dieharder -g 052 -a -m 10 -s 1 -S 4137730333 #taus88
$ dieharder -g 054 -a -m 10 -s 1 -S 4137730333 #taus113
With this seed configuration, in order to compare both, we get
the following differences:
algorithm taus88 taus113
rands/second [**] 1.61e+08 1.37e+08
sts_serial(4, 1st run) WEAK PASSED
sts_serial(9, 2nd run) WEAK PASSED
rgb_lagged_sum(31) WEAK PASSED
We took out diehard_sums test as according to the authors it is
considered broken and unusable [4]. Despite that and the slight
decrease in performance (which is acceptable), taus113 here passes
all 113 tests (only rgb_minimum_distance_5 in WEAK, the rest PASSED).
In general, taus/taus113 is considered "very good" by the authors
of dieharder [5].
The papers [1][2] states a single warm-up step is sufficient by
running quicktaus once on each state to ensure proper initialization
of ~s_{0}:
Our selection of (s) according to Table 1 of [1] row 1 holds the
condition L - k <= r - s, that is,
(32 32 32 32) - (31 29 28 25) <= (25 27 15 22) - (18 2 7 13)
with r = k - q and q = (6 2 13 3) as also stated by the paper.
So according to [2] we are safe with one round of quicktaus for
initialization. However we decided to include the warm-up phase
of the PRNG as done in GSL in every case as a safety net. We also
use the warm up phase to make the output of the RNG easier to
verify by the GSL output.
In prandom_init(), we also mix random_get_entropy() into it, just
like drivers/char/random.c does it, jiffies ^ random_get_entropy().
random-get_entropy() is get_cycles(). xor is entropy preserving so
it is fine if it is not implemented by some architectures.
Note, this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel, but
rather as a fast PRNG for various randomizations i.e. in the
networking code, or elsewhere for debugging purposes, for example.
[*]: In order to generate some "sort of pseduo-randomness", since
get_random_bytes() is not yet available for us, we use jiffies and
initialize states s1 - s3 with a simple linear congruential generator
(LCG), that is x <- x * 69069; and derive s2, s3, from the 32bit
initialization from s1. So the above quote from [3] accounts only
for the time from core to late initcall, not afterwards.

struct rnd_state got mistakenly pulled into uapi header. It is not
used anywhere and does also not belong there!
Commit 5960164fde ("lib/random32: export pseudo-random number
generator for modules"), the last commit on rnd_state before it
got moved to uapi, says:
This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline
__seed() function to linux/random.h. It renames the static __random32()
function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules.
Hence, the structure was moved from lib/random32.c to linux/random.h
so that it can be used within modules (FCoE-related code in this
case), but not from user space. However, it seems to have been
mistakenly moved to uapi header through the uapi script. Since no-one
should make use of it from the linux headers, move the structure back
to the kernel for internal use, so that it can be modified on demand.

initialized
The Tausworthe PRNG is initialized at late_initcall time. At that time the
entropy pool serving get_random_bytes is not filled sufficiently. This
patch adds an additional reseeding step as soon as the nonblocking pool
gets marked as initialized.
On some machines it might be possible that late_initcall gets called after
the pool has been initialized. In this situation we won't reseed again.
(A call to prandom_seed_late blocks later invocations of early reseed
attempts.)

The current Tausworthe PRNG is never reseeded with truly random data after
the first attempt in late_initcall. As this PRNG is used for some critical
random data as e.g. UDP port randomization we should try better and reseed
the PRNG once in a while with truly random data from get_random_bytes().
When we reseed with prandom_seed we now make also sure to throw the first
output away. This suffices the reseeding procedure.
The delay calculation is based on a proposal from Eric Dumazet.

For properly initialising the Tausworthe generator [1], we have
a strict seeding requirement, that is, s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15.
Commit 697f8d0348 ("random32: seeding improvement") introduced
a __seed() function that imposes boundary checks proposed by the
errata paper [2] to properly ensure above conditions.
However, we're off by one, as the function is implemented as:
"return (x < m) ? x + m : x;", and called with __seed(X, 1),
__seed(X, 7), __seed(X, 15). Thus, an unwanted seed of 1, 7, 15
would be possible, whereas the lower boundary should actually
be of at least 2, 8, 16, just as GSL does. Fix this, as otherwise
an initialization with an unwanted seed could have the effect
that Tausworthe's PRNG properties cannot not be ensured.
Note that this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel.

We were not checking if we successfully opened the counters, i.e. if
sys_perf_event_open worked, when it doesn't in this test, we were
continuing anyway and then segfaulting when trying to access the file
descriptor array, that at that point had been freed in perf_evlist__open
error path:
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf test -v 19
19: Test software clock events have valid period values :
--- start ---
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@ssdandy ~]#
Do the check and bail out instead.

If given sort keys are all elided there'll be no output except for the
overhead column - actually the TUI shows a noisy output. In this case
it'd be better to show up the sort keys rather than elide.

$ perf report -s comm -c perf
(...)
# Overhead
# ........
#
100.00%
After:
$ perf report -s comm -c perf

Several tools (top, kvm) don't need to be called back to process each of
the syntheiszed records, instead relying on the machine__process_event
function to change the per machine data structures that represent
threads and mmaps, so provide a way to ask for this common idiom.

When perf_event_attr.mmap_data is set the kernel will generate
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events when non-exec (data, SysV mem) mmaps are
created, so we need to synthesize from /proc/pid/maps for existing
threads, as we do for exec mmaps.
Right now just 'perf record' does it, but any other tool that uses
perf_event__synthesize_thread(s|map) can request it.

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.
We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.
This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.

Each call to tui_progress__update() would forcibly refresh the entire
screen. This is somewhat inefficient and causes noticable flickering
during the startup of perf-report, especially on large/slow terminals.
It looks like the force-refresh in tui_progress__update() serves no
purpose other than to clear the screen so that the progress bar of a
previous operation does not subsume that of a subsequent operation. But
we can do just that in a much more efficient manner by clearing only the
region that a previous progress bar may have occupied before repainting
the new progress bar. Then the force-refresh could be removed with no
change in visuals.
This patch disables the slow force-refresh in tui_progress__update() and
instead calls SLsmg_fill_region() on the entire area that the progress
bar may occupy before repainting it. This change makes the startup of
perf-report much faster and appear much "smoother".
It turns out that this was a big bottleneck in the startup speed of
perf-report -- with this patch, perf-report starts up ~2x faster (1.1s
vs 0.55s) on my machines. (These numbers were measured by running "time
perf report" on an 8MB perf.data and pressing 'q' immediately.)

This reverts commit 8eba18428ac926f436064ac281e76d36d51bd631.
uv_trace() is not used by anything, nor is uv_trace_nmi_func, nor
uv_trace_func.
That's not how we do instrumentation code in the kernel: we add
tracepoints, printk()s, etc. so that everyone not just those with
magic kernel modules can debug a system.
So remove this unused (and misguied) piece of code.

Problem reported by Avneesh Pant <avneesh.pant@oracle.com>:
It looks like we are triggering a bug in RDMA CM/UCM interaction.
The bug specifically hits when we have an incoming connection
request and the connecting process dies BEFORE the passive end of
the connection can process the request i.e. it does not call
rdma_get_cm_event() to retrieve the initial connection event. We
were able to triage this further and have some additional
information now.
In the example below when P1 dies after issuing a connect request
as the CM id is being destroyed all outstanding connects (to P2)
are sent a reject message. We see this reject message being
received on the passive end and the appropriate CM ID created for
the initial connection message being retrieved in cm_match_req().
The problem is in the ucma_event_handler() code when this reject
message is delivered to it and the initial connect message itself
HAS NOT been delivered to the client. In fact the client has not
even called rdma_cm_get_event() at this stage so we haven't
allocated a new ctx in ucma_get_event() and updated the new
connection CM_ID to point to the new UCMA context.
This results in the reject message not being dropped in
ucma_event_handler() for the new connection request as the
(if (!ctx->uid)) block is skipped since the ctx it refers to is
the listen CM id context which does have a valid UID associated
with it (I believe the new CMID for the connection initially
uses the listen CMID -> context when it is created in
cma_new_conn_id). Thus the assumption that new events for a
connection can get dropped in ucma_event_handler() is incorrect
IF the initial connect request has not been retrieved in the
first case. We end up getting a CM Reject event on the listen CM
ID and our upper layer code asserts (in fact this event does not
even have the listen_id set as that only gets set up librdmacm
for connect requests).
The solution is to verify that the cm_id being reported in the event
is the same as the cm_id referenced by the ucma context. A mismatch
indicates that the ucma context corresponds to the listen. This fix
was validated by using a modified version of librdmacm that was able
to verify the problem and see that the reject message was indeed
dropped after this patch was applied.
