The GICv2 CPU interface registers span across 8K, not 4K as indicated in
the DT. Only the GICC_DIR register is located after the initial 4K
boundary, leaving a functional system but without support for separately
EOI'ing and deactivating interrupts.
After this change the system supports split priority drop and interrupt
deactivation. This patch is based on similar one from Christoffer Dall:

Using ancient compilers (gcc-4.5 or older) on ARM, we get a link
failure with the vfio-pci driver:
ERROR: "__aeabi_lcmp" [drivers/vfio/pci/vfio-pci.ko] undefined!
The reason is that the compiler tries to do a comparison of

explicitly first, as newer compilers do for themselves.

Using the mtty mdev sample driver we can generate a remove race by
starting one shell that continuously creates mtty devices and several
other shells all attempting to remove devices, in my case four remove
shells. The fault occurs in mdev_remove_sysfs_files() where the
passed type arg is NULL, which suggests we've received a struct device
in mdev_device_remove() but it's in some sort of teardown state. The
solution here is to make use of the accidentally unused list_head on
the mdev_device such that the mdev core keeps a list of all the mdev
devices. This allows us to validate that we have a valid mdev before
we start removal, remove it from the list to prevent others from
working on it, and if the vendor driver refuses to remove, we can
re-add it to the list.

As part of the mdev support, type1 now gets a task reference per
vfio_dma and uses that to get an mm reference for the task while
working on accounting. That's correct, but it's not fast. For some
paths, like vfio_pin_pages_remote(), we know we're only called from
user context, so we can restore the lighter weight calls. In other
cases, we're effectively already testing whether we're in the stored
task context elsewhere, extend this vfio_lock_acct() as well.

The pre-1.0 SCPI firmwares are using single __le32 as sensor value,
while the SCPI v1.0 protocol uses two __le32 as sensor values(64bit)
split into 32bit upper and 32bit lower value.
Using an "struct sensor_value" to read the sensor value on a pre-1.0
SCPI firmware gives garbage in the "hi_val" field.
This patch fixes the issue by reading only the lower 32-bit value for
all pre-1.0 SCPI versions.

It introduces a regression when following sequence is executed:
rproc_boot --> rproc_shutdown --> rproc_boot
Second rproc_boot call crashes on register_virtio_device as device
is already existing.
Issue is previous vdev is never released when rproc is stop because
associated refcount is too high.
kref_get introduces is not needed as kref_init already initializes
krefcount to 1 because it considers associated variable as used.
This introduces a misalignment between kref_get and kref_put calls.

When removing a gpiochip that uses GPIO hogging (e.g. by unloading the

gpio gpiochip8: REMOVING GPIOCHIP WITH GPIOS STILL REQUESTED
This happens because gpiochip_free_hogs() is called after the gdev->chip

.free() callback.

Currently the value written to CP_RB_WPTR is calculated on the fly as
(rb->next - rb->start). But as the code is designed rb->next is wrapped
before writing the commands so if a series of commands happened to
fit perfectly in the ringbuffer, rb->next would end up being equal to
rb->size / 4 and thus result in an out of bounds address to CP_RB_WPTR.
The easiest way to fix this is to mask WPTR when writing it to the
hardware; it makes the hardware happy and the rest of the ringbuffer
math appears to work and there isn't any point in upsetting anything.

Demoting simple flow steering rule priority (for DPDK) was achieved by
wrapping FW commands MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH for the PF
as well, and forcing the priority to MLX4_DOMAIN_NIC in the wrapper
function for the PF and all VFs.
In function mlx4_ib_create_flow(), this change caused the main rule
creation for the PF to be wrapped, while it left the associated
tunnel steering rule creation unwrapped for the PF.
This mismatch caused rule deletion failures in mlx4_ib_destroy_flow()
for the PF when the detach wrapper function did not find the associated
tunnel-steering rule (since creation of that rule for the PF did not
go through the wrapper function).
Fix this by setting MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH to be "native"
(so that the PF invocation does not go through the wrapper), and perform
the required priority demotion for the PF in the mlx4_ib_create_flow()
code path.

mlx4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_DETACH_wrapper first removes the steering
rule (which results in freeing the rule structure), and then
references a field in this struct (the qp number) when releasing the
busy-status on the rule's qp.
Since this memory was freed, it could reallocated and changed.
Therefore, the qp number in the struct may be incorrect,
so that we are releasing the incorrect qp. This leaves the rule's qp
in the busy state (and could possibly release an incorrect qp as well).
Fix this by saving the qp number in a local variable, for use after
removing the steering rule.

In commit 62906027091f ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are
waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer
unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps
performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines
where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot.
However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit"
sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be,
because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that
just got updated atomically.
On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial
to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another
atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic
operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd. The
atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed,
not the value of an unrelated bit.
On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use
"xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other
bits), and look at the other bits of the result. However, an even
simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock
bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state
of the unrelated bit #7.
So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear
the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too. And architectures
with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit
doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too.
This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids
the costly stall at page unlock time.
The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and
specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit. Nick doesn't
love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the
name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by
trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some
generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit.
So this introduces the new architecture primitive
clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte();
and adds the trivial implementation for x86. We have a generic
non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)"
combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do
better. According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for
example, but some other architectures may not even care.
All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is
just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in
the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad.
Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just
over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test". After this, it's down to
0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be.
(The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is
likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses
to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed
by Nick's earlier commit).

Commit 5701659004d6 ("net: stmmac: Fix race between stmmac_drv_probe and
stmmac_open") re-ordered how the MDIO bus registration and the network
device are registered, but missed to unwind the MDIO bus registration in
case we fail to register the network device.

__ip6_append_data and ip6_finish_output
There is an inconsistent conditional judgement between __ip6_append_data
and ip6_finish_output functions, the variable length in __ip6_append_data
just include the length of application's payload and udp6 header, don't
include the length of ipv6 header, but in ip6_finish_output use
(skb->len > ip6_skb_dst_mtu(skb)) as judgement, and skb->len include the
length of ipv6 header.
That causes some particular application's udp6 payloads whose length are
between (MTU - IPv6 Header) and MTU were fragmented by ip6_fragment even
though the rst->dev support UFO feature.
Add the length of ipv6 header to length in __ip6_append_data to keep
consistent conditional judgement as ip6_finish_output for ip6 fragment.
