| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates mac80211 to version 5.2-rc7, this contains all the changes to the wireless subsystem up to Linux 5.2-rc7. * The removed patches are applied upstream * b43 now uses kmod-lib-cordic * Update the nl80211.h file in iw to match backports version. * Remove the two backports from kernel 4.9, they were needed for mt76, but that can use the version from backports now, otherwise they collide and cause compile errors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Backport upstream patch: Commit 65cab850f0ee ("net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig ioctl") modified the IN_BADCLASS macro a bit, but unfortunatly one too many '(' characters were added to the line, making any code that used it, not build properly. Also, the macro now compares an unsigned with a signed value, which isn't ok, so fix that up by making both types match properly.

* cns3xxx: use actual size reads for PCIeKoen Vandeputte2019-01-071-0/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | upstream commit 802b7c06adc7 ("ARM: cns3xxx: Convert PCI to use generic config accessors") reimplemented cns3xxx_pci_read_config() using pci_generic_config_read32(), which preserved the property of only doing 32-bit reads. It also replaced cns3xxx_pci_write_config() with pci_generic_config_write(), so it changed writes from always being 32 bits to being the actual size, which works just fine. Due to: - The documentation does not mention that only 32 bit access is allowed. - Writes are already executed using the actual size - Extensive testing shows that 8b, 16b and 32b reads work as intended It makes perfectly sense to also swap 32 bit reading in favor of actual size.

Prevent this by mapping the page read-only for userland, and using access_process_vm() with the FOLL_FORCE flag to write to it from mips_dsemul(). This will likely be less efficient due to copy_to_user_page() performing cache maintenance on a whole page, rather than a single line as in the previous use of flush_cache_sigtramp(). However this delay slot emulation code ought not to be running in any performance critical paths anyway so this isn't really a problem, and we can probably do better in copy_to_user_page() anyway in future. A major advantage of this approach is that the fix is small & simple to backport to stable kernels.

* cns3xxx: fix writing to wrong PCI registersKoen Vandeputte2018-12-181-0/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, cns3xxx used it's own functions for mapping, reading and writing registers. Upstream commit 802b7c06adc7 ("ARM: cns3xxx: Convert PCI to use generic config accessors") removed the internal PCI config write function in favor of the generic one: cns3xxx_pci_write_config() --> pci_generic_config_write() cns3xxx_pci_write_config() expected aligned addresses, being produced by cns3xxx_pci_map_bus() while the generic one pci_generic_config_write() actually expects the real address as both the function and hardware are capable of byte-aligned writes. This currently leads to pci_generic_config_write() writing to the wrong registers on some ocasions. First issue seen due to this: - driver ath9k gets loaded - The driver wants to write value 0xA8 to register PCI_LATENCY_TIMER, located at 0x0D - cns3xxx_pci_map_bus() aligns the address to 0x0C - pci_generic_config_write() effectively writes 0xA8 into register 0x0C (CACHE_LINE_SIZE) This seems to cause some slight instability when certain PCI devices are used. Another issue example caused by this this is the PCI bus numbering, where the primary bus is higher than the secondary, which is impossible. Before: 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Cavium, Inc. Device 3400 (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 255 Bus: primary=02, secondary=01, subordinate=ff, sec-latency=0 After fix: 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Cavium, Inc. Device 3400 (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 255 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=02, sec-latency=0 And very likely some more .. Fix all by omitting the alignment being done in the mapping function. Signed-off-by: Koen Vandeputte <koen.vandeputte@ncentric.com>

While CIDR has been obsolete for 2 decades, and a survey of all the open source code in the world shows the IN_whatever macros are also obsolete... rather than obsolete CIDR from this ioctl entirely, this patch merely enables class-e assignment, sanely. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=65cab850f0eeaa9180bd2e10a231964f33743edf Signed-off-by: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant <ldir@darbyshire-bryant.me.uk>

* kernel: backport mtd support for subpartitions in DTRafał Miłecki2018-07-271-0/+102
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a new & warm feature that allows nesting partiitons in DT and mixing their types (e.g. static vs. dynamic). It's very useful for boards that have most partitions static but some of them require extra parsing (e.g. a "firmware" partition). It's required to successfully backport support for new devices using that new syntax in their DT files. Since brcm63xx has a custom alternative patch the upstream one is being reverted for it. The plan is to make brcm63xx use the upstream implementation. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>
