According to the AM654x Data Manual[1], the setup timing in lower speed
modes can only be met if the controller uses a falling edge data launch.
To ensure this, the HIGH_SPEED_ENA (HOST_CONTROL[2]) bit should be
cleared in default speed, SD high speed, MMC high speed, SDR12 and SDR25
speed modes.
Use the sdhci writeb callback to implement this condition.

The amount of changes to the memorystick subsystem are limited as of today.
However, I have a couple of times been funneling changes through my MMC
tree and it have turned out fine. So, I am here by volunteering to continue
doing this, by adding myself and the link to the MMC tree to the MEMSTICK
section.

The current SONY MEMORYSTICK CARD SUPPORT section is pointing to the TI
flash media memorystick driver, which is a bit confusing. Let's make this
more clear by moving this part into TI FLASH MEDIA INTERFACE DRIVER
section, but rename the section to TI FLASH MEDIA MEMORYSTICK/MMC DRIVERS,
as to make it more clear.
Finally, add Alex Dubov to the SONY MEMORYSTICK STANDARD SUPPORT, as I
believe that has been the intention.

Direct commands (DCMDs) are an optional feature of eMMC 5.1's command

Tegra CQHCI/SDHCI design prevents write access to SDHCI block size
register when CQE is enabled and unhalted.
CQHCI driver enables CQE prior to invoking sdhci_cqe_enable which
violates this Tegra specific host requirement.
This patch fixes this by configuring sdhci block registers prior
to CQE unhalt.
This patch also has a fix for retry of unhalt due to known Tegra
specific CQE resume bug where first unhalt might not succeed when
clear all tasks is performed prior to resume and need a second unhalt.
This patch also includes CQE enable fix for CMD CRC errors that
happen with the specific sandisk emmc device when status command
is sent during the transfer of last data block due to marginal timing.

Tegra186 CQHCI host has a known bug where CQHCI controller selects
DATA_PRESENT_SELECT bit to 1 for DCMDs with R1B response type and
since DCMD does not trigger any data transfer, DCMD task complete
happens leaving the DATA FSM of host controller in wait state for
the data.
This effects the data transfer tasks issued after the DCMDs with
R1b response type resulting in timeout.
SW WAR is to set CMD_TIMING to 1 in DCMD task descriptor. This bug
and SW WAR is applicable only for Tegra186 and not for Tegra194.
This patch implements this WAR thru NVQUIRK_CQHCI_DCMD_R1B_CMD_TIMING
for Tegra186 and also implements update_dcmd_desc of cqhci_host_ops
interface to set CMD_TIMING bit depending on the NVQUIRK.

This patch includes below HW tuning related fixes.
configures tuning parameters as per Tegra TRM
WAR fix for manual tap change
HW auto-tuning post process
As per Tegra TRM, SDR50 mode tuning execution takes upto maximum
of 256 tuning iterations and SDR104/HS200/HS400 modes tuning
execution takes upto maximum of 128 tuning iterations.
This patch programs tuning control register with maximum tuning
iterations needed based on the timing along with the start tap,
multiplier, and step size used by the HW tuning.
Tegra210 has a known issue of glitch on trimmer output when the
tap value is changed with the trimmer input clock running and the
WAR is to disable card clock before sending tuning command and
after sending tuning command wait for 1usec and issue SW reset
followed by enabling card clock.
This WAR is applicable when changing tap value manually as well.
Tegra SDHCI driver has this implemented correctly for manual tap
change but missing SW reset before enabling card clock during
sending tuning command.
Issuing SW reset during tuning command as a part of WAR and is
applicable in cases where tuning is performed with single step size
for more iterations. This patch includes this fix.
HW auto-tuning finds the best largest passing window and sets the
tap at the middle of the window. With some devices like sandisk
eMMC driving fast edges and due to high tap to tap delay in the
Tegra chipset, auto-tuning does not detect falling tap between the
valid windows resulting in a parital window or a merged window and
the best tap is set at the signal transition which is actually the
worst tap location.
Recommended SW solution is to detect if the best passing window
picked by the HW tuning is a partial or a merged window based on
min and max tap delays found from chip characterization across
PVT and perform tuning correction to pick the best tap.
This patch has implementation of this post HW tuning process for
the tegra hosts that support HW tuning through the callback function
tegra_sdhci_execute_hw_tuning and uses the tuned tap delay.

As per the Host Controller Standard Specification Version 4.20,
limitation of tuning iteration count is removed as PLL locking
time can be longer than UHS-1 tuning due to larger PVT fluctuation
and it will result in increase of tuning iteration to complete the
tuning.
This patch creates sdhci_host member tuning_loop_count to allow
hosts to specify maximum tuning iterations and also updates
execute_tuning to use this specified maximum tuning iteration count.
Default tuning_loop_count is set to same as existing loop count of
MAX_TUNING_LOOP which is 40 iterations.

host clock when mode change happens from DDR52/DDR50 to other
SDR or HS modes like incase of mmc_retune where it switches
from HS400 to HS DDR and then from HS DDR to HS mode and then
to HS200.

max_req_size is calculated by 'max_blk_size * max_blk_count' in the TMIO
core. So, specifying U32_MAX as max_blk_count will overflow this
calculation. It will cause no harm in practice because the immense high
number will overflow into another immense high number. However, it is
not good coding practice, so calculate max_blk_count so that
max_req_size will fit into unsigned int on ARM32/64.

For some controllers, in Present State Register, Data Line
Active bit is not reliable for commands (such as CMD6, CMD7,
CMD12, CMD28, CMD29, or CMD38) with busy signal. DLA affects
Command with Data Inhibit bit. Therefore, software driver
may not know the busy status in DLA/CDIHB.
Futunately MMC core driver has already polled card status
with CMD13 after sending any command with busy signal. So
we can just ignore CDIHB never released issue for such

SYSCTL[RSTD] to 1 for error recovery while DMA transferring is

Merge page ref overflow branch.
Jann Horn reported that he can overflow the page ref count with
sufficient memory (and a filesystem that is intentionally extremely
slow).
Admittedly it's not exactly easy. To have more than four billion
references to a page requires a minimum of 32GB of kernel memory just
for the pointers to the pages, much less any metadata to keep track of
those pointers. Jann needed a total of 140GB of memory and a specially
crafted filesystem that leaves all reads pending (in order to not ever
free the page references and just keep adding more).
Still, we have a fairly straightforward way to limit the two obvious
user-controllable sources of page references: direct-IO like page
references gotten through get_user_pages(), and the splice pipe page
duplication. So let's just do that.
* branch page-refs:
fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get
mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount
mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function
mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit
|
|
Change pipe_buf_get() to return a bool indicating whether it succeeded
in raising the refcount of the page (if the thing in the pipe is a page).
This removes another mechanism for overflowing the page refcount. All
callers converted to handle a failure.

If the page refcount wraps around past zero, it will be freed while
there are still four billion references to it. One of the possible
avenues for an attacker to try to make this happen is by doing direct IO
on a page multiple times. This patch makes get_user_pages() refuse to
take a new page reference if there are already more than two billion
references to the page.

This is the same as the traditional 'get_page()' function, but instead
of unconditionally incrementing the reference count of the page, it only
does so if the count was "safe". It returns whether the reference count
was incremented (and is marked __must_check, since the caller obviously
has to be aware of it).
Also like 'get_page()', you can't use this function unless you already
had a reference to the page. The intent is that you can use this
exactly like get_page(), but in situations where you want to limit the
maximum reference count.
The code currently does an unconditional WARN_ON_ONCE() if we ever hit
the reference count issues (either zero or negative), as a notification
that the conditional non-increment actually happened.
NOTE! The count access for the "safety" check is inherently racy, but
that doesn't matter since the buffer we use is basically half the range
of the reference count (ie we look at the sign of the count).
