[ Upstream commit ea434e8fd3a539e9c53285b10d3c7e539e228591 ]

The HDM decoder filter configuration register is 32 bits wide, but the
driver programs it with a 64-bit writeq(). The filter value never
exceeds 32 bits, so the upper half of the write is always zero and
lands in the adjacent Filter ID 1 (Channel/Rank/Bank) configuration
register at offset+4.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fcc5eaea2d234162dfb8258372dd897bc2a1b862 ]

The current code checks whether the wakeup point is in the current
writable range by comparing it with handle-&gt;head + handle-&gt;size.

The perf AUX head is a monotonically increasing index, so that addition
can overflow when head is close to ULONG_MAX. In that case, a wakeup
point which is still inside the free space range can be missed.

Use unsigned subtraction to compare the distance from head to wakeup
against the handle-&gt;size. This can dismiss the issue when addition
overflow.

This is unlikely to happen in practice, but the change makes the
watermark check logically correct.

commit 5936245125f78d896fdb1bbc2ae79213e28a6579 upstream.

The new DVM node events added in CMN-700 also apply to CMN S3; fix
the model encoding so that we can expose the aliases and handle
occupancy filtering on newer CMNs too.

[ Upstream commit 36c0de02575ce59dfd879eb4ef63d53a68bbf9ce ]

So far we've been fairly lax about accepting both unknown CMN models
(at least with a warning), and unknown revisions of those which we
do know, as although things do frequently change between releases,
typically enough remains the same to be somewhat useful for at least
some basic bringup checks. However, we also make assumptions of the
maximum supported sizes and numbers of things in various places, and
there's no guarantee that something new might not be bigger and lead
to nasty array overflows. Make sure we only try to run on things that
actually match our assumptions and so will not risk memory corruption.

We have at least always failed on completely unknown node types, so
update that error message for clarity and consistency too.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit ab26d9c85554c4ff1d95ca8341522880ed9219d6 ]

Passing IRQF_ONESHOT ensures that the interrupt source is masked until
the secondary (threaded) handler is done. If only a primary handler is
used then the flag makes no sense because the interrupt can not fire
(again) while its handler is running.
The flag also disallows force-threading of the primary handler and the
irq-core will warn about this.

The intention here was probably not allowing forced-threading.

Replace IRQF_ONESHOT with IRQF_NO_THREAD.

[ Upstream commit 12a94953c37e834c3eabb839ce057094946fe67a ]

The functional safety features of CMN-600AE have little to no impact on
the PMU relative to the base CMN-600 design, so for simplicity we can
reasonably just treat it as the same thing. The only obvious difference
is that the revision numbers aren't aligned, so we may hide some aliases
for events which do actually exist, but those can still be specified via
the underlying "type,eventid" format so it's not too big a deal.

<id>urn:sha1:26bec96bc5f318d1134e482eab53a968b5ce0fac</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 283182c1c239f6873d1a50e9e710c1a699f2256b ]

When arm_spe_pmu_next_off() fails to calculate a valid limit, it returns
zero to indicate that tracing should not start.  However, the caller
arm_spe_perf_aux_output_begin() does not propagate this failure by
updating hwc-&gt;state, cause the error to be silently ignored by upper
layers.

Because hwc-&gt;state remains zero after a failure, arm_spe_pmu_start()
continues to programs filter registers unnecessarily.  The driver
still reports success to the perf core, so the core assumes the SPE
event was enabled and proceeds to enable other events.  This breaks
event group semantics: SPE is already stopped while other events in the
same group are enabled.

Fix this by updating arm_spe_perf_aux_output_begin() to return a status
code indicating success (0) or failure (-EIO).  Both the interrupt
handler and arm_spe_pmu_start() check the return value and call
arm_spe_pmu_stop() to set PERF_HES_STOPPED in hwc-&gt;state.

In the interrupt handler, the period (e.g., period_left) needs to be
updated, so PERF_EF_UPDATE is passed to arm_spe_pmu_stop().  When the
error occurs during event start, the trace unit is not yet enabled, so
a flag '0' is used to drain buffer and update state only.

commit 970e1e41805f0bd49dc234330a9390f4708d097d upstream.

driver_find_device() calls get_device() to increment the reference
count once a matching device is found. device_release_driver()
releases the driver, but it does not decrease the reference count that
was incremented by driver_find_device(). At the end of the loop, there
is no put_device() to balance the reference count. To avoid reference
count leakage, add put_device() to decrease the reference count.

Found by code review.

Event ID is only using the attr::config bit [7, 0] but we check the
event range using the whole 64bit field. It blocks the usage of the
rest field of attr::config. Relax the check by only using the
bit [7, 0].
