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]
    RIP: ffffffffc0473053  RSP: ffff88069fdc3d80  RFLAGS: 00000006

    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>

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 \

This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so
this renames the argument to "unused".

Done using the following semantic patch:

@match_define_timer@
declarer name DEFINE_TIMER;
identifier _timer, _callback;
@@

 DEFINE_TIMER(_timer, _callback);

@change_callback depends on match_define_timer@

<title>x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses</title>
<updated>2017-11-16T11:49:48Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Craig Bergstrom</name>
<email>craigb@google.com</email>
</author>
<published>2017-11-15T22:29:51Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=be62a32044061cb4a3b70a10598e093f1319102e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:be62a32044061cb4a3b70a10598e093f1319102e</id>
<content type='text'>
One thing /dev/mem access APIs should verify is that there's no way
that excessively large pfn's can leak into the high bits of the
page table entry.

In particular, if people can use "very large physical page addresses"
through /dev/mem to set the bits past bit 58 - SOFTW4 and permission
key bits and NX bit, that could *really* confuse the kernel.

We had an earlier attempt:

  ce56a86e2ade ("x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses")

... which turned out to be too restrictive (breaking mem=... bootups for example) and
had to be reverted in:

  90edaac62729 ("Revert "x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses"")

This v2 attempt modifies the original patch and makes sure that mmap(/dev/mem)
limits the pfns so that it at least fits in the actual pteval_t architecturally:

 - Make sure mmap_mem() actually validates that the offset fits in phys_addr_t

    ( This may be indirectly true due to some other check, but it's not
      entirely obvious. )

 - Change valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() to just use phys_addr_valid()
   on the top byte

    ( Top byte is sufficient, because mmap_mem() has already checked that
      it cannot wrap. )

 - Add a few comments about what the valid_phys_addr_range() vs.
   valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() difference is.
