ipmi/bt-bmc: change compatible node to 'aspeed, ast2400-ibt-bmc'

2016-11-18T00:31:09Z

The Aspeed SoCs have two BT interfaces : one is IPMI compliant and the other is H8S/2168 compliant. The current ipmi/bt-bmc driver implements the IPMI version and we should reflect its nature in the compatible node name using 'aspeed,ast2400-ibt-bmc' instead of 'aspeed,ast2400-bt-bmc'. The latter should be used for a H8S interface driver if it is implemented one day. Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson

ppdev: fix double-free of pp->pdev->name

2016-11-10T14:24:02Z

free_pardevice() is called by parport_unregister_device() and already frees pp->pdev->name, don't try to do it again. This bug causes kernel crashes.

virtio: console: Unlock vqs while freeing buffers

2016-10-30T22:21:44Z

Commit c6017e793b93 ("virtio: console: add locks around buffer removal in port unplug path") added locking around the freeing of buffers in the vq. However, when free_buf() is called with can_sleep = true and rproc is enabled, it calls dma_free_coherent() directly, requiring interrupts to be enabled. Currently a WARNING is triggered due to the spin locking around free_buf, with a call stack like this: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 121 at ./include/linux/dma-mapping.h:433 free_buf+0x1a8/0x288 Call Trace: [<8040c538>] show_stack+0x74/0xc0 [<80757240>] dump_stack+0xd0/0x110 [<80430d98>] __warn+0xfc/0x130 [<80430ee0>] warn_slowpath_null+0x2c/0x3c [<807e7c6c>] free_buf+0x1a8/0x288 [<807ea590>] remove_port_data+0x50/0xac [<807ea6a0>] unplug_port+0xb4/0x1bc [<807ea858>] virtcons_remove+0xb0/0xfc [<807b6734>] virtio_dev_remove+0x58/0xc0 [<807f918c>] __device_release_driver+0xac/0x134 [<807f924c>] device_release_driver+0x38/0x50 [<807f7edc>] bus_remove_device+0xfc/0x130 [<807f4b74>] device_del+0x17c/0x21c [<807f4c38>] device_unregister+0x24/0x38 [<807b6b50>] unregister_virtio_device+0x28/0x44 Fix this by restructuring the loops to allow the locks to only be taken where it is necessary to protect the vqs, and release it while the buffer is being freed.

Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook: "This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc). At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals" * tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin
