This patch fixes ipmi crash on parisc introduced in the kernel 4.15-rc.
The pointer io.io_setup is not initialized and thus it causes crash in
try_smi_init when attempting to call new_smi-&gt;io.io_setup.

<content type='text'>
When the IPMI PCI code was split out, some code was consolidated for
setting the io_setup field in the io structure.  The PCI code needed
this set before registration to probe register spacing, though, so
restore the old code for that function.

<title>ipmi: Stop timers before cleaning up the module</title>

System may crash after unloading ipmi_si.ko module
because a timer may remain and fire after the module cleaned up resources.

cleanup_one_si() contains the following processing.

        /*
         * Make sure that interrupts, the timer and the thread are
         * stopped and will not run again.
         */
        if (to_clean-&gt;irq_cleanup)
                to_clean-&gt;irq_cleanup(to_clean);
        wait_for_timer_and_thread(to_clean);

        /*
         * Timeouts are stopped, now make sure the interrupts are off
         * in the BMC.  Note that timers and CPU interrupts are off,
         * so no need for locks.
         */
        while (to_clean-&gt;curr_msg || (to_clean-&gt;si_state != SI_NORMAL)) {
                poll(to_clean);
                schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1);
        }

si_state changes as following in the while loop calling poll(to_clean).

  SI_GETTING_MESSAGES
    =&gt; SI_CHECKING_ENABLES
     =&gt; SI_SETTING_ENABLES
      =&gt; SI_GETTING_EVENTS
       =&gt; SI_NORMAL

As written in the code comments above,
timers are expected to stop before the polling loop and not to run again.
But the timer is set again in the following process
when si_state becomes SI_SETTING_ENABLES.

  =&gt; poll
     =&gt; smi_event_handler
       =&gt; handle_transaction_done
          // smi_info-&gt;si_state == SI_SETTING_ENABLES
         =&gt; start_getting_events
           =&gt; start_new_msg
            =&gt; smi_mod_timer
              =&gt; mod_timer

As a result, before the timer set in start_new_msg() expires,
the polling loop may see si_state becoming SI_NORMAL
and the module clean-up finishes.

For example, hard LOCKUP and panic occurred as following.
smi_timeout was called after smi_event_handler,
kcs_event and hangs at port_inb()
trying to access I/O port after release.

    [exception RIP: port_inb+19]

    ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff  CS: 0010  SS: 0000
 --- &lt;NMI exception stack&gt; ---

To fix the problem I defined a flag, timer_can_start,
as member of struct smi_info.
The flag is enabled immediately after initializing the timer
and disabled immediately before waiting for timer deletion.

<title>treewide: setup_timer() -&gt; timer_setup()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e99e88a9d2b067465adaa9c111ada99a041bef9a</id>
<content type='text'>
This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using
timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already
holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes,
since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with
the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following
examples, in addition to some other variations.

Casting from unsigned long:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, ptr);

and forced object casts:

    void my_callback(struct something *ptr)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr);

become:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

Direct function assignments:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr-&gt;my_timer.function = my_callback;

have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr-&gt;my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback;

And finally, callbacks without a data assignment:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&amp;ptr-&gt;my_timer, my_callback, 0);

The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script:

spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \
	-I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \
	-I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \

Pull compat and uaccess updates from Al Viro:

 - {get,put}_compat_sigset() series

 - assorted compat ioctl stuff

 - more set_fs() elimination

 - a few more timespec64 conversions

 - several removals of pointless access_ok() in places where it was
   followed only by non-__ variants of primitives

Pull IPMI updates from Corey Minyard:
 "This is a fairly large rework of the IPMI code, along with a bunch of
  smaller fixes. The major changes have been in the next tree for a
  couple of months, so they should be good to do in.

   - Some users had IPMI systems where the GUID of the IPMI controller
     could change. So rescanning of the GUID was added. The naming of
     some sysfs things was dependent on the GUID, however, so this
     resulted in the sysfs interface code in IPMI changing to remove
     that dependency and name the IPMI BMCs like other sysfs devices.

   - The ipmi_si_intf.c code was fairly bloated with all the different
     discovery methods (PCI, ACPI, SMBIOS, OF, platform, module
     parameters, hot add). The structure of how the interfaces were
     added was redone to make them more modular, then the individual
     methods were pulled out into their own files"

* tag 'ipmi-for-4.15' of git://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi: (48 commits)
  ipmi_si: Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in try_smi_init()
  ipmi_si: fix memory leak on new_smi
  ipmi: remove redundant initialization of bmc
  ipmi: pr_err() strings should end with newlines
  ipmi: Clean up some print operations
  ipmi: Make the DMI probe into a generic platform probe
  ipmi: Make the IPMI proc interface configurable
  ipmi_ssif: Add device attrs for the things in proc
  ipmi_si: Add device attrs for the things in proc
  ipmi_si: remove ipmi_smi_alloc() function
  ipmi_si: Move port and mem I/O handling to their own files
  ipmi_si: Get rid of unused spacing and port fields
  ipmi_si: Move PARISC handling to another file
  ipmi_si: Move PCI setup to another file
  ipmi_si: Move platform device handling to another file
  ipmi_si: Move hardcode handling to a separate file.
  ipmi_si: Move the hotmod handling to another file.
  ipmi_si: Change ipmi_si_add_smi() to take just I/O info
  ipmi_si: Move io setup into io structure
  ipmi_si: Move irq setup handling into the io struct

The IPMI SI driver was split into different pieces, merge the module
tree to accountfor that.
