2017-07-17block: order /proc/devices by major numberLogan Gunthorpe3-9/+17
Presently, the order of the block devices listed in /proc/devices is not entirely sequential. If a block device has a major number greater than BLKDEV_MAJOR_HASH_SIZE (255), it will be ordered as if its major were module 255. For example, 511 appears after 1. This patch cleans that up and prints each major number in the correct order, regardless of where they are stored in the hash table. In order to do this, we introduce BLKDEV_MAJOR_MAX as an artificial limit (chosen to be 512). It will then print all devices in major order number from 0 to the maximum.

2017-07-17char_dev: extend dynamic allocation of majors into a higher rangeLogan Gunthorpe3-13/+37
We've run into problems with running out of dynamicly assign char device majors particullarly on automated test systems with all-yes-configs. Roughly 40 dynamic assignments can be made with such kernels at this time while space is reserved for only 20. Currently, the kernel only prints a warning when dynamic allocation overflows the reserved region. And when this happens drivers that have fixed assignments can randomly fail depending on the order of initialization of other drivers. Thus, adding a new char device can cause unexpected failures in completely unrelated parts of the kernel. This patch solves the problem by extending dynamic major number allocations down from 511 once the 234-254 region fills up. Fixed majors already exist above 255 so the infrastructure to support high number majors is already in place. The patch reserves an additional 128 major numbers which should hopefully last us a while. Kernels that don't require more than 20 dynamic majors assigned (which is pretty typical) should not be affected by this change.

2017-07-17mei: me: use an index instead of a pointer for private dataTomas Winkler3-71/+121
Device 'new_id' interface is useful for testing of not yet published hardware on older kernels and for internally used device ids on simulation platforms. However currently with the device configuration held in device_id driver data as a pointer to mei_cfg structure it is hard, as one need to locate the address of the correct structure. A recommended way of doing that is to use and index instead of a pointer. This patch adds a new list of configuration mei_cfg_list[] indexed via enum mei_cfg_idx. In addition it cleanups ich platform naming, renames legacy generation to ich and what was ich to ich10.

On some platforms, currently Broxton, Apollo Lake and Kaby Lake, ME FW may be busy with internal bookkeeping and answering late to the start message. As a mitigation, the driver requests for a synchronous probing to prevent stalling of the overall boot process. For example, on a Apollo Lake platform the overall boot time has reduced from ~0.9 to ~0.6 seconds on average.

2017-07-17binder: protect against stale pointers in print_binder_transactionTodd Kjos1-20/+40
When printing transactions there were several race conditions that could cause a stale pointer to be deferenced. Fixed by reading the pointer once and using it if valid (which is safe). The transaction buffer also needed protection via proc lock, so it is only printed if we are holding the correct lock.

The todo lists in the proc, thread, and node structures are accessed by other procs/threads to place work items on the queue. The todo lists are protected by the new proc->inner_lock.

2017-07-17binder: use inner lock to sync work dq and node countsTodd Kjos1-51/+198
For correct behavior we need to hold the inner lock when dequeuing and processing node work in binder_thread_read. We now hold the inner lock when we enter the switch statement and release it after processing anything that might be affected by other threads. We also need to hold the inner lock to protect the node weak/strong ref tracking fields as long as node->proc is non-NULL (if it is NULL then we are guaranteed that we don't have any node work queued). This means that other functions that manipulate these fields must hold the inner lock. Refactored these functions to use the inner lock.

2017-07-17binder: introduce locking helper functionsTodd Kjos1-0/+238
There are 3 main spinlocks which must be acquired in this order: 1) proc->outer_lock : protects most fields of binder_proc, binder_thread, and binder_ref structures. binder_proc_lock() and binder_proc_unlock() are used to acq/rel. 2) node->lock : protects most fields of binder_node. binder_node_lock() and binder_node_unlock() are used to acq/rel 3) proc->inner_lock : protects the thread and node lists (proc->threads, proc->nodes) and all todo lists associated with the binder_proc (proc->todo, thread->todo, proc->delivered_death and node->async_todo). binder_inner_proc_lock() and binder_inner_proc_unlock() are used to acq/rel Any lock under procA must never be nested under any lock at the same level or below on procB. Functions that require a lock held on entry indicate which lock in the suffix of the function name: foo_olocked() : requires node->outer_lock foo_nlocked() : requires node->lock foo_ilocked() : requires proc->inner_lock foo_iolocked(): requires proc->outer_lock and proc->inner_lock foo_nilocked(): requires node->lock and proc->inner_lock Signed-off-by: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-07-17binder: use node->tmp_refs to ensure node safetyTodd Kjos1-20/+104
When obtaining a node via binder_get_node(), binder_get_node_from_ref() or binder_new_node(), increment node->tmp_refs to take a temporary reference on the node to ensure the node persists while being used. binder_put_node() must be called to remove the temporary reference.

2017-07-17binder: refactor binder ref inc/dec for thread safetyTodd Kjos2-137/+379
Once locks are added, binder_ref's will only be accessed safely with the proc lock held. Refactor the inc/dec paths to make them atomic with the binder_get_ref* paths and node inc/dec. For example, instead of: ref = binder_get_ref(proc, handle, strong); ... binder_dec_ref(ref, strong); we now have: ret = binder_dec_ref_for_handle(proc, handle, strong, &rdata); Since the actual ref is no longer exposed to callers, a new struct binder_ref_data is introduced which can be used to return a copy of ref state.

2017-07-17binder: make sure accesses to proc/thread are safeTodd Kjos1-27/+206
binder_thread and binder_proc may be accessed by other threads when processing transaction. Therefore they must be prevented from being freed while a transaction is in progress that references them. This is done by introducing a temporary reference counter for threads and procs that indicates that the object is in use and must not be freed. binder_thread_dec_tmpref() and binder_proc_dec_tmpref() are used to decrement the temporary reference. It is safe to free a binder_thread if there is no reference and it has been released (indicated by thread->is_dead). It is safe to free a binder_proc if it has no remaining threads and no reference. A spinlock is added to the binder_transaction to safely access and set references for t->from and for debug code to safely access t->to_thread and t->to_proc.

2017-07-17binder: guarantee txn complete / errors delivered in-orderTodd Kjos1-54/+73
Since errors are tracked in the return_error/return_error2 fields of the binder_thread object and BR_TRANSACTION_COMPLETEs can be tracked either in those fields or via the thread todo work list, it is possible for errors to be reported ahead of the associated txn complete. Use the thread todo work list for errors to guarantee order. Also changed binder_send_failed_reply to pop the transaction even if it failed to send a reply.

2017-07-17binder: use atomic for transaction_log indexTodd Kjos1-16/+59
The log->next index for the transaction log was not protected when incremented. This led to a case where log->next++ resulted in an index larger than ARRAY_SIZE(log->entry) and eventually a bad access to memory.

The looper member of struct binder_thread is a bitmask of control bits. All of the existing bits are modified by the affected thread except for BINDER_LOOPER_STATE_NEED_RETURN which can be modified in binder_deferred_flush() by another thread. To avoid adding a spinlock around all read-mod-writes to modify a bit, the BINDER_LOOPER_STATE_NEED_RETURN flag is replaced by a separate field in struct binder_thread.

2017-07-17binder: avoid race conditions when enqueuing txnTodd Kjos1-3/+4
Currently, the transaction complete work item is queued after the transaction. This means that it is possible for the transaction to be handled and a reply to be enqueued in the current thread before the transaction complete is enqueued, which violates the protocol with userspace who may not expect the transaction complete. Fixed by always enqueing the transaction complete first. Also, once the transaction is enqueued, it is unsafe to access since it might be freed. Currently, t->flags is accessed to determine whether a sync wake is needed. Changed to access tr->flags instead.

2017-07-17binder: refactor queue management in binder_thread_readTodd Kjos1-57/+94
In binder_thread_read, the BINDER_WORK_NODE command is used to communicate the references on the node to userspace. It can take a couple of iterations in the loop to construct the list of commands for user space. When locking is added, the lock would need to be release on each iteration which means the state could change. The work item is not dequeued during this process which prevents a simpler queue management that can just dequeue up front and handle the work item. Fixed by changing the BINDER_WORK_NODE algorithm in binder_thread_read to determine which commands to send to userspace atomically in 1 pass so it stays consistent with the kernel view. The work item is now dequeued immediately since only 1 pass is needed. Signed-off-by: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
