      ALSA: emu10k1: Reduce GFP_ATOMIC allocation · 057666b6
      Takashi Iwai authored
      
      
      The emu10k1 fx8010 code allocates each irq resource dynamically and
      links to the list at PCM trigger callback.  Due to the nature of
      trigger callback, the allocation is done with GFP_ATOMIC, hence it
      may fail more often.  Moreover, the irq resource isn't big at all, and
      using the kmalloc for this won't save many bytes, either.
      
      This patch removes the dynamic allocation and embeds the irq resource
      into struct snd_emu10k1_fx8010_pcm.irq field instead of keeping a
      pointer.  As a result, it simplifies the code and removes the
      unnecessary GFP_ATOMIC usage.

      ALSA: cmipci: Allocate with GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC · 0be51680
      Takashi Iwai authored
      
      
      save_mixer_state() is called in a sleepable context, so it's safe to
      allocate with GFP_KERNEL instead of the current GFP_ATOMIC.  The
      GFP_ATOMIC usage must have been based on an incorrect assumption in
      the very old code base.

      ALSA: ad1889: Replace mdelay with usleep_range in snd_ad1889_ac97_ready · 1fa350b6
      Jia-Ju Bai authored
      
      
      snd_ad1889_ac97_ready() is never called in atomic context.
      
      The call chain ending up at snd_ad1889_ac97_ready() is:
      [1] snd_ad1889_ac97_ready() <- snd_ad1889_ac97_xinit() <-
      	snd_ad1889_ac97_init() <- snd_ad1889_probe()
      
      snd_ad1889_probe() is only set as ".probe" in struct pci_driver.
      This function is not called in atomic context.
      
      Despite never getting called from atomic context, snd_ad1889_ac97_ready()
      calls mdelay for busy wait.
      This is not necessary and can be replaced with usleep_range to
      avoid busy waiting.
      
      This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.

          keeps the code backwards compatible for virtual decives and NVME

      The code to verify the new kernels sha digest is applicable for all
      architectures.  Move it to common code.
      
      One problem is the string.c implementation on x86.  Currently sha256
      includes x86/boot/string.h which defines memcpy and memset to be gcc
      builtins.  By moving the sha256 implementation to common code and
      changing the include to linux/string.h both functions are no longer
      defined.  Thus definitions have to be provided in x86/purgatory/string.c

      kernel/kexec_file.c: allow archs to set purgatory load address · 3be3f61d
      Philipp Rudo authored
      
      
      For s390 new kernels are loaded to fixed addresses in memory before they
      are booted.  With the current code this is a problem as it assumes the
      kernel will be loaded to an 'arbitrary' address.  In particular,
      kexec_locate_mem_hole searches for a large enough memory region and sets
      the load address (kexec_bufer->mem) to it.
      
      Luckily there is a simple workaround for this problem.  By returning 1
      in arch_kexec_walk_mem, kexec_locate_mem_hole is turned off.  This
      allows the architecture to set kbuf->mem by hand.  While the trick works
      fine for the kernel it does not for the purgatory as here the
      architectures don't have access to its kexec_buffer.
      
      Give architectures access to the purgatories kexec_buffer by changing
      kexec_load_purgatory to take a pointer to it.  With this change
      architectures have access to the buffer and can edit it as they need.
      
      A nice side effect of this change is that we can get rid of the
      purgatory_info->purgatory_load_address field.  As now the information
      stored there can directly be accessed from kbuf->mem.

      kernel/kexec_file.c: remove mis-use of sh_offset field during purgatory load · 8da0b724
      Philipp Rudo authored
      
      
      The current code uses the sh_offset field in purgatory_info->sechdrs to
      store a pointer to the current load address of the section.  Depending
      whether the section will be loaded or not this is either a pointer into
      purgatory_info->purgatory_buf or kexec_purgatory.  This is not only a
      violation of the ELF standard but also makes the code very hard to
      understand as you cannot tell if the memory you are using is read-only
      or not.
      
      Remove this misuse and store the offset of the section in
      pugaroty_info->purgatory_buf in sh_offset.

      To update the entry point there is an extra loop over all section
      headers although this can be done in the main loop.  So move it there
      and eliminate the extra loop and variable to store the 'entry section
      index'.
      
      Also, in the main loop, move the usual case, i.e.  non-bss section, out
      of the extra if-block.

      When inspecting __kexec_load_purgatory you find that it has two tasks
      
      	1) setting up the kexec_buffer for the new kernel and,
      	2) setting up pi->sechdrs for the final load address.
      
      The two tasks are independent of each other.  To improve readability
      split up __kexec_load_purgatory into two functions, one for each task,
      and call them directly from kexec_load_purgatory.

      kernel/kexec_file.c: remove checks in kexec_purgatory_load · d2b8178c
      Philipp Rudo authored
      
      
      Before the purgatory is loaded several checks are done whether the ELF
      file in kexec_purgatory is valid or not.  These checks are incomplete.
      For example they don't check for the total size of the sections defined
      in the section header table or if the entry point actually points into
      the purgatory.
      
      On the other hand the purgatory, although an ELF file on its own, is
      part of the kernel.  Thus not trusting the purgatory means not trusting
      the kernel build itself.
      
      So remove all validity checks on the purgatory and just trust the kernel
      build.

      include/linux/kexec.h: silence compile warnings · ee6ebeda
      Philipp Rudo authored
      
      
      Patch series "kexec_file: Clean up purgatory load", v2.
      
      Following the discussion with Dave and AKASHI, here are the common code
      patches extracted from my recent patch set (Add kexec_file_load support
      to s390) [1].  The patches were extracted to allow upstream integration
      together with AKASHI's common code patches before the arch code gets
      adjusted to the new base.
      
      The reason for this series is to prepare common code for adding
      kexec_file_load to s390 as well as cleaning up the mis-use of the
      sh_offset field during purgatory load.  In detail this series contains:
      
      Patch #1&2: Minor cleanups/fixes.
      
      Patch #3-9: Clean up the purgatory load/relocation code.  Especially
      remove the mis-use of the purgatory_info->sechdrs->sh_offset field,
      currently holding a pointer into either kexec_purgatory (ro) or
      purgatory_buf (rw) depending on the section.  With these patches the
      section address will be calculated verbosely and sh_offset will contain
      the offset of the section in the stripped purgatory binary
      (purgatory_buf).
      
      Patch #10: Allows architectures to set the purgatory load address.  This
      patch is important for s390 as the kernel and purgatory have to be
      loaded to fixed addresses.  In current code this is impossible as the
      purgatory load is opaque to the architecture.
      
      Patch #11: Moves x86 purgatories sha implementation to common lib/
      directory to allow reuse in other architectures.
      
      This patch (of 11)
      
      When building the kernel with CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE enabled gcc prints a
      compile warning multiple times.
      
        In file included from <path>/linux/init/initramfs.c:526:0:
        <path>/include/linux/kexec.h:120:9: warning: `struct kimage' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
                 unsigned long cmdline_len);
                 ^
      
      This is because the typedefs for kexec_file_load uses struct kimage
      before it is declared.  Fix this by simply forward declaring struct
      kimage.

      kexec_file, x86: move re-factored code to generic side · babac4a8
      AKASHI Takahiro authored
      
      
      In the previous patches, commonly-used routines, exclude_mem_range() and
      prepare_elf64_headers(), were carved out.  Now place them in kexec
      common code.  A prefix "crash_" is given to each of their names to avoid
      possible name collisions.

      x86: kexec_file: lift CRASH_MAX_RANGES limit on crash_mem buffer · 8d5f894a
      AKASHI Takahiro authored
      
      
      While CRASH_MAX_RANGES (== 16) seems to be good enough, fixed-number
      array is not a good idea in general.
      
      In this patch, size of crash_mem buffer is calculated as before and the
      buffer is now dynamically allocated.  This change also allows removing
      crash_elf_data structure.
