There are several places in kernel where modules unescapes input to convert
C-Style Escape Sequences into byte codes.
The patch provides generic implementation of such approach. Test cases are
also included into the patch.

If the TPM has already been sent a SaveState command before the driver
is loaded it may have problems sending that same command again later.
This issue is seen with the Chromebook Pixel due to a firmware bug in
the legacy mode boot path which is sending the SaveState command
before booting the kernel. More information is available at
http://crbug.com/203524
This change introduces a retry of the SaveState command in the suspend
path in order to work around this issue. A future firmware update
should fix this but this is also a trivial workaround in the driver
that has no effect on systems that do not show this problem.
When this does happen the TPM responds with a non-fatal TPM_RETRY code
that is defined in the specification:
The TPM is too busy to respond to the command immediately, but the
command could be resubmitted at a later time. The TPM MAY return
TPM_RETRY for any command at any time.
It can take several seconds before the TPM will respond again. I
measured a typical time between 3 and 4 seconds and the timeout is set
at a safe 5 seconds.
It is also possible to reproduce this with commands via /dev/tpm0.
The bug linked above has a python script attached which can be used to
test for this problem. I tested a variety of TPMs from Infineon,
Nuvoton, Atmel, and STMicro but was only able to reproduce this with
LPC and I2C TPMs from Infineon.
The TPM specification only loosely defines this behavior:
TPM Main Level 2 Part 3 v1.2 r116, section 3.3. TPM_SaveState:
The TPM MAY declare all preserved values invalid in response to any
command other than TPM_Init.
TCG PC Client BIOS Spec 1.21 section 8.3.1.
After issuing a TPM_SaveState command, the OS SHOULD NOT issue TPM
commands before transitioning to S3 without issuing another
TPM_SaveState command.
TCG PC Client TIS 1.21, section 4. Power Management:
The TPM_SaveState command allows a Static OS to indicate to the TPM
that the platform may enter a low power state where the TPM will be
required to enter into the D3 power state. The use of the term "may"
is significant in that there is no requirement for the platform to
actually enter the low power state after sending the TPM_SaveState
command. The software may, in fact, send subsequent commands after
sending the TPM_SaveState command.

Returning EMFILE (process has too many open files) is incorrect to
indicate a port is already open by another process. Use EBUSY for that.
This does change what we report to userspace, but I believe userspace
can look at it this way: it gets EBUSY, a new error code, instead of
EMFILE. It's still an error, and that's not changing.

This driver adds support for Infineon's new SLB 9645 TT 1.2 I2C TPMs,
which supports clockstretching, combined reads and a bus speed of
up to 400khz. The device also has a new device id.
The driver works now also fine with device trees, so you can
instantiate your device by adding:
+ tpm {
+ compatible = "infineon,slb9645tt";
+ reg = <0x20>;
+ };
for SLB 9645 devices or
+ tpm {
+ compatible = "infineon,slb9635tt";
+ reg = <0x20>;
+ };
for SLB 9635 devices
to your device tree.
tpm_i2c_infineon is also retained as a compatible id as a fallback to
slb9635 protocol.
The driver was tested on Beaglebone.

Pull virtio fixes from Rusty Russell:
"One reversion, a tiny leak fix, and a cc:stable locking fix, in two
parts"
* tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:

virtio: console: rename cvq_lock to c_ivq_lock

Revert "virtio_console: Initialize guest_connected=true for rproc_serial"
|
|
When multiple ovq operations are being performed (lots of open/close
operations on virtio_console fds), the __send_control_msg() function can
get confused without locking.
A simple recipe to cause badness is:
* create a QEMU VM with two virtio-serial ports
* in the guest, do
while true;do echo abc >/dev/vport0p1;done
while true;do echo edf >/dev/vport0p2;done
In one run, this caused a panic in __send_control_msg(). In another, I
got
virtio_console virtio0: control-o:id 0 is not a head!
This also results repeated messages similar to these on the host:
qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762112 for device virtio-serial-bus.0
qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762368 for device virtio-serial-bus.0

virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly
into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8.
However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address
(at least on most archs). We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually
far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate
a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).

Commit 6133705494bb introduced a circular lock dependency because
posix_cpu_timers_exit() is called by release_task(), which is holding
a writer lock on tasklist_lock, and this can cause a deadlock since
kill_fasync() gets called with nonblocking_pool.lock taken.
There's no reason why kill_fasync() needs to be taken while the random
pool is locked, so move it out to fix this locking dependency.

The configuration change building ipmi_si into the kernel precludes the
use of a custom driver that can utilize more than one KCS interface,
multiple IPMBs, and more than one BMC. This capability is important for
fault-tolerant systems.
Even if the kernel option ipmi_si.trydefaults=0 is specified, ipmi_si
discovers and claims one of the KCS interfaces on a Stratus server. The
inability to now prevent the kernel from managing this device is a
regression from previous kernels. The regression breaks a capability
fault-tolerant vendors have relied upon.
To support both ACPI opregion access and the need to avoid activation of
ipmi_si on some platforms, we've added two new kernel options,
ipmi_si.tryacpi and ipmi_si.trydmi be added to prevent ipmi_si from
initializing when these options are set to 0 on the kernel command line.
With these options at the default value of 1, ipmi_si init proceeds
according to the kernel default.

Pull drm merge from Dave Airlie:
"Highlights:
- TI LCD controller KMS driver
- TI OMAP KMS driver merged from staging
- drop gma500 stub driver
- the fbcon locking fixes
- the vgacon dirty like zebra fix.
- open firmware videomode and hdmi common code helpers
- major locking rework for kms object handling - pageflip/cursor
won't block on polling anymore!
- fbcon helper and prime helper cleanups
- i915: all over the map, haswell power well enhancements, valleyview
macro horrors cleaned up, killing lots of legacy GTT code,
- radeon: CS ioctl unification, deprecated UMS support, gpu reset
rework, VM fixes
- nouveau: reworked thermal code, external dp/tmds encoder support
(anx9805), fences sleep instead of polling,
- exynos: all over the driver fixes."
Lovely conflict in radeon/evergreen_cs.c between commit de0babd60d8d
("drm/radeon: enforce use of radeon_get_ib_value when reading user cmd")
and the new changes that modified that evergreen_dma_cs_parse()
function.

Pull core locking changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is the rwsem lock-steal improvements, both to the
assembly optimized and the spinlock based variants.
The other notable change is the clean up of the seqlock implementation
to be based on the seqcount infrastructure.
The rest is assorted smaller debuggability, cleanup and continued -rt
locking changes."
