The OSS emulation in synth-emux helper has a potential AB/BA deadlock
at the simultaneous closing and opening:
close ->
snd_seq_release() ->
sne_seq_free_client() ->
snd_seq_delete_all_ports(): takes client->ports_mutex ->
port_delete() ->
snd_emux_unuse(): takes emux->register_mutex
open ->
snd_seq_oss_open() ->
snd_emux_open_seq_oss(): takes emux->register_mutex ->
snd_seq_event_port_attach() ->
snd_seq_create_port(): takes client->ports_mutex
This patch addresses the deadlock by reducing the rance taking
emux->register_mutex in snd_emux_open_seq_oss(). The lock is needed
for the refcount handling, so move it locally. The calls in
emux_seq.c are already with the mutex, thus they are replaced with the
version without mutex lock/unlock.

This patch fixes problems with serial console break. When function
s3c64xx_serial_startup() was started while serial console has been working,
it caused lose of characters written to TX FIFO. This effect was particularly
observable with systemd, which closes serial port every time when it's
not currently needed, hence function s3c64xx_serial_startup() is called
quite often there. To fix this problem we avoid resetting TX FIFO if port is
used as serial console.
Example of broken console log:

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.
When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway.
Arnd quotation about driver historical background:
"when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would
get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after
that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT"
This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and
16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because
of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking
for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned.

For systems with CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM=y and device_type =
"serial"; property in DT of_serial.c driver maps and unmaps IRQ (because
driver probe fails). Then a driver is called but irq mapping is not
created that's why driver is failing again in again on request_irq().
Based on this use platform_get_irq() instead of platform_get_resource()
which is doing irq_desc allocation and driver itself can request IRQ.
Fix both xilinx serial drivers in the tree.

Phil and I found out a problem with commit:
7e860a6e7aa6 ("cdc-acm: add sanity checks")
It added some sanity checks to ignore potential garbage in CDC headers but
also introduced a potential infinite loop. This can happen at the first
loop iteration (elength = 0 in that case) if the description isn't a
DT_CS_INTERFACE or later if 'buffer[0]' is zero.
It should also be noted that the wrong length was being added to 'buffer'
in case 'buffer[1]' was not a DT_CS_INTERFACE descriptor, since elength was
assigned after that check in the loop.
A specially crafted USB device could be used to trigger this infinite loop.

bnx2x's 'disable_tpa=1' module option is not respected properly and TPA
(transparent packet aggregation) remains enabled. Even though the
module option causes LRO to be disabled, TPA is enabled in GRO mode.
Additionally, disabling GRO via ethtool then has no effect. One can
still observe tpa_* statistics increase and large packets being received
in tcpdump.
The bug was an unintended consequence of commit aebf6244cd39 "bnx2x: Be
more forgiving toward SW GRO".
Fix it by following the bp->disable_tpa flag when initializing fp's.

This works around a issue with qnap iscsi targets not handling large IOs
very well.
The target returns:
VPD INQUIRY: Block limits page (SBC)
Maximum compare and write length: 1 blocks
Optimal transfer length granularity: 1 blocks
Maximum transfer length: 4294967295 blocks
Optimal transfer length: 4294967295 blocks
Maximum prefetch, xdread, xdwrite transfer length: 0 blocks
Maximum unmap LBA count: 8388607
Maximum unmap block descriptor count: 1
Optimal unmap granularity: 16383
Unmap granularity alignment valid: 0
Unmap granularity alignment: 0
Maximum write same length: 0xffffffff blocks
Maximum atomic transfer length: 0
Atomic alignment: 0
Atomic transfer length granularity: 0
and it is *sometimes* able to handle at least one IO of size up to 8 MB. We
have seen in traces where it will sometimes work, but other times it
looks like it fails and it looks like it returns failures if we send
multiple large IOs sometimes. Also it looks like it can return 2 different
errors. It will sometimes send iscsi reject errors indicating out of
resources or it will send invalid cdb illegal requests check conditions.
And then when it sends iscsi rejects it does not seem to handle retries
when there are command sequence holes, so I could not just add code to
try and gracefully handle that error code.
The problem is that we do not have a good contact for the company,
so we are not able to determine under what conditions it returns
which error and why it sometimes works.
So, this patch just adds a new black list flag to set targets like this to
the old max safe sectors of 1024. The max_hw_sectors changes added in 3.19
caused this regression, so I also ccing stable.

This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca17c54817cf814b4b5aa60478c6df27
and 80f7fdb1c7f0f9266421f823964fd1962681f6ce.
The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support
the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it
with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed
due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare
that it's mostly theoretical.
As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the
additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task
migration notifier.
Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at
all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.

The kvmclock spec says that the host will increment a version field to
an odd number, then update stuff, then increment it to an even number.
The host is buggy and doesn't do this, and the result is observable
when one vcpu reads another vcpu's kvmclock data.
There's no good way for a guest kernel to keep its vdso from reading
a different vcpu's kvmclock data, but we don't need to care about
changing VCPUs as long as we read a consistent data from kvmclock.
(VCPU can change outside of this loop too, so it doesn't matter if we
return a value not fit for this VCPU.)

The emux-synth driver has a possible AB/BA mutex deadlock at unloading
the emu10k1 driver:
snd_emux_free() ->
snd_emux_detach_seq(): mutex_lock(&emu->register_mutex) ->
snd_seq_delete_kernel_client() ->
snd_seq_free_client(): mutex_lock(®ister_mutex)
snd_seq_release() ->
snd_seq_free_client(): mutex_lock(®ister_mutex) ->
snd_seq_delete_all_ports() ->
snd_emux_unuse(): mutex_lock(&emu->register_mutex)
Basically snd_emux_detach_seq() doesn't need a protection of
emu->register_mutex as it's already being unregistered. So, we can
get rid of this for avoiding the deadlock.

Some models provide too long string for the shortname that has 32bytes
including the terminator, and it results in a non-terminated string
exposed to the user-space. This isn't too critical, though, as the
string is stopped at the succeeding longname string.
This patch fixes such entries by dropping "SB" prefix (it's enough to
fit within 32 bytes, so far). Meanwhile, it also changes strcpy()
with strlcpy() to make sure that this kind of problem won't happen in
future, too.

Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() are always zeroed on Alpha,
ARM (32bit), MIPS, PowerPC, x86/x86_64 and probably other architectures.
It turned out that some drivers rely on this 'feature'. Allocated buffer
might be also exposed to userspace with dma_mmap() call, so clearing it
is desired from security point of view to avoid exposing random memory
to userspace. This patch unifies dma_alloc_coherent() behavior on ARM64
architecture with other implementations by unconditionally zeroing
allocated buffer.

Since several interrupt controllers including GIC support both edge and
level triggered interrupts, it's useful to provide that information in
/proc/interrupts even on ARM64 similar to ARM and PPC.
This is based on Geert Uytterhoeven's commit 7c07005eea96 ("ARM: 8339/1:
Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL")
