There is nothing too exciting in it, but a new macro that fixes a build failure on a minor ARM32 platform that appeared yesterday is part of it so we better merge it. Core changes: - Introduce the for_each_requested_gpio() macro to help in dependent code all over the place. Also patch a few locations to use it while we are at it. - Split out the sysfs code into its own file. - Split out the character device code into its own file, then make a set of refactorings and improvements to this code. We are setting the stage to revamp the userspace API a bit in the next cycle. - Fix a whole slew of kerneldoc that was wrong or missing. New drivers: - The PCA953x driver now supports the PCAL9535. Driver improvements: - A host of incremental modernizations and improvements to the PCA953x driver. - Incremental improvements to the Xilinx Zynq driver. - Some improvements to the GPIO aggregator driver. - I ran all over the place switching all threaded and other drivers requesting their own IRQ while using the core GPIO IRQ helpers to pass the GPIO irq chip as a template instead of calling the explicit set-up functions.

2020-07-28PM, libnvdimm: Add runtime firmware activation supportDan Williams
Abstract platform specific mechanics for nvdimm firmware activation behind a handful of generic ops. At the bus level ->activate_state() indicates the unified state (idle, busy, armed) of all DIMMs on the bus, and ->capability() indicates the system state expectations for activate. At the DIMM level ->activate_state() indicates the per-DIMM state, ->activate_result() indicates the outcome of the last activation attempt, and ->arm() attempts to transition the DIMM from 'idle' to 'armed'. A new hibernate_quiet_exec() facility is added to support firmware activation in an OS defined system quiesce state. It leverages the fact that the hibernate-freeze state wants to assert that a memory hibernation snapshot can be taken. This is in contrast to a platform firmware defined quiesce state that may forcefully quiet the memory controller independent of whether an individual device-driver properly supports hibernate-freeze. The libnvdimm sysfs interface is extended to support detection of a firmware activate capability. The mechanism supports enumeration and triggering of firmware activate, optionally in the hibernate_quiet_exec() context.

2020-07-28Add pldmfw library for PLDM firmware updateJacob Keller
The pldmfw library is used to implement common logic needed to flash devices based on firmware files using the format described by the PLDM for Firmware Update standard. This library consists of logic to parse the PLDM file format from a firmware file object, as well as common logic for sending the relevant PLDM header data to the device firmware. A simple ops table is provided so that device drivers can implement device specific hardware interactions while keeping the common logic to the pldmfw library. This library will be used by the Intel ice networking driver as part of implementing device flash update via devlink. The library aims to be vendor and device agnostic. For this reason, it has been placed in lib/pldmfw, in the hopes that other devices which use the PLDM firmware file format may benefit from it in the future. However, do note that not all features defined in the PLDM standard have been implemented. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The UDP reuseport conflict was a little bit tricky. The net-next code, via bpf-next, extracted the reuseport handling into a helper so that the BPF sk lookup code could invoke it. At the same time, the logic for reuseport handling of unconnected sockets changed via commit efc6b6f6c3113e8b203b9debfb72d81e0f3dcace which changed the logic to carry on the reuseport result into the rest of the lookup loop if we do not return immediately. This requires moving the reuseport_has_conns() logic into the callers. While we are here, get rid of inline directives as they do not belong in foo.c files. The other changes were cases of more straightforward overlapping modifications. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2020-07-21dma-fence: prime lockdep annotationsDaniel Vetter
Two in one go: - it is allowed to call dma_fence_wait() while holding a dma_resv_lock(). This is fundamental to how eviction works with ttm, so required. - it is allowed to call dma_fence_wait() from memory reclaim contexts, specifically from shrinker callbacks (which i915 does), and from mmu notifier callbacks (which amdgpu does, and which i915 sometimes also does, and probably always should, but that's kinda a debate). Also for stuff like HMM we really need to be able to do this, or things get real dicey. Consequence is that any critical path necessary to get to a dma_fence_signal for a fence must never a) call dma_resv_lock nor b) allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL. Also by implication of dma_resv_lock(), no userspace faulting allowed. That's some supremely obnoxious limitations, which is why we need to sprinkle the right annotations to all relevant paths. The one big locking context we're leaving out here is mmu notifiers, added in commit 23b68395c7c78a764e8963fc15a7cfd318bf187f Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Mon Aug 26 22:14:21 2019 +0200 mm/mmu_notifiers: add a lockdep map for invalidate_range_start/end that one covers a lot of other callsites, and it's also allowed to wait on dma-fences from mmu notifiers. But there's no ready-made functions exposed to prime this, so I've left it out for now. v2: Also track against mmu notifier context. v3: kerneldoc to spec the cross-driver contract. Note that currently i915 throws in a hard-coded 10s timeout on foreign fences (not sure why that was done, but it's there), which is why that rule is worded with SHOULD instead of MUST. Also some of the mmu_notifier/shrinker rules might surprise SoC drivers, I haven't fully audited them all. Which is infeasible anyway, we'll need to run them with lockdep and dma-fence annotations and see what goes boom. v4: A spelling fix from Mika v5: #ifdef for CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER. Reported by 0day. Unfortunately this means lockdep enforcement is slightly inconsistent, it won't spot GFP_NOIO and GFP_NOFS allocations in the wrong spot if CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER is disabled in the kernel config. Oh well. v5: Note that only drivers/gpu has a reasonable (or at least historical) excuse to use dma_fence_wait() from shrinker and mmu notifier callbacks. Everyone else should either have a better memory manager model, or better hardware. This reflects discussions with Jason Gunthorpe.

2020-07-21dma-fence: basic lockdep annotationsDaniel Vetter
Design is similar to the lockdep annotations for workers, but with some twists: - We use a read-lock for the execution/worker/completion side, so that this explicit annotation can be more liberally sprinkled around. With read locks lockdep isn't going to complain if the read-side isn't nested the same way under all circumstances, so ABBA deadlocks are ok. Which they are, since this is an annotation only. - We're using non-recursive lockdep read lock mode, since in recursive read lock mode lockdep does not catch read side hazards. And we _very_ much want read side hazards to be caught. For full details of this limitation see commit e91498589746065e3ae95d9a00b068e525eec34f Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Date: Wed Aug 23 13:13:11 2017 +0200 locking/lockdep/selftests: Add mixed read-write ABBA tests - To allow nesting of the read-side explicit annotations we explicitly keep track of the nesting. lock_is_held() allows us to do that. - The wait-side annotation is a write lock, and entirely done within dma_fence_wait() for everyone by default. - To be able to freely annotate helper functions I want to make it ok to call dma_fence_begin/end_signalling from soft/hardirq context. First attempt was using the hardirq locking context for the write side in lockdep, but this forces all normal spinlocks nested within dma_fence_begin/end_signalling to be spinlocks. That bollocks. The approach now is to simple check in_atomic(), and for these cases entirely rely on the might_sleep() check in dma_fence_wait(). That will catch any wrong nesting against spinlocks from soft/hardirq contexts. The idea here is that every code path that's critical for eventually signalling a dma_fence should be annotated with dma_fence_begin/end_signalling. The annotation ideally starts right after a dma_fence is published (added to a dma_resv, exposed as a sync_file fd, attached to a drm_syncobj fd, or anything else that makes the dma_fence visible to other kernel threads), up to and including the dma_fence_wait(). Examples are irq handlers, the scheduler rt threads, the tail of execbuf (after the corresponding fences are visible), any workers that end up signalling dma_fences and really anything else. Not annotated should be code paths that only complete fences opportunistically as the gpu progresses, like e.g. shrinker/eviction code. The main class of deadlocks this is supposed to catch are: Thread A: mutex_lock(A); mutex_unlock(A); dma_fence_signal(); Thread B: mutex_lock(A); dma_fence_wait(); mutex_unlock(A); Thread B is blocked on A signalling the fence, but A never gets around to that because it cannot acquire the lock A. Note that dma_fence_wait() is allowed to be nested within dma_fence_begin/end_signalling sections. To allow this to happen the read lock needs to be upgraded to a write lock, which means that any other lock is acquired between the dma_fence_begin_signalling() call and the call to dma_fence_wait(), and still held, this will result in an immediate lockdep complaint. The only other option would be to not annotate such calls, defeating the point. Therefore these annotations cannot be sprinkled over
