[Linux-stable-mirror] [PATCH V2 0/2] PCI/portdrv: Fix switch devctrl error report enable

by Dongdong Liu

PATCH 1/2 is to fix switch upstream/downstream port error report. PATCH 2/2 is to make AER device configuration more reasonable. Delete the upstream/downstream port AER configuraion in PATCH 2/2, but if firmware does not enable upstream/downstream port error reporting, it seems current no place to enable them, so PATCH 2/2 need more suggestion. Please see the commit log for more information. Changes from v1: - Rebase on v4.15-rc2. - Modify the change log. - Add PATCH 2/2.

This has particularly bad effects for some platforms, because we don't stop the power-save timer, and if this timer goes off after the PCI controller has suspended the link, Bad Things will happen. Commit 32faa3f0ee50 ("ath10k: add the PCI PM core suspend/resume ops") got some of this right, in that it understood there was a problem on non-WoWLAN firmware. But it forgot the $subject case. Fix this by moving all the PCI driver suspend/resume logic exclusively into the driver PM hooks. This shouldn't affect WoWLAN support much (this just gets executed later on). I would just as well kill the entirety of ath10k_hif_suspend(), as it's not even implemented on the USB or SDIO drivers. I expect that we don't need the callback, except to return "supported" (i.e., 0) or "not supported" (i.e., -EOPNOTSUPP).

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Dec 18 13:28:59 CET 2017 From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers(a)google.com> Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 09:33:41 -0700 Subject: arm64: prevent regressions in compressed kernel image size when upgrading to binutils 2.27 From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers(a)google.com> [ Upstream commit fd9dde6abcb9bfe6c6bee48834e157999f113971 ] Upon upgrading to binutils 2.27, we found that our lz4 and gzip compressed kernel images were significantly larger, resulting is 10ms boot time regressions. As noted by Rahul: "aarch64 binaries uses RELA relocations, where each relocation entry includes an addend value. This is similar to x86_64. On x86_64, the addend values are also stored at the relocation offset for relative relocations. This is an optimization: in the case where code does not need to be relocated, the loader can simply skip processing relative relocations. In binutils-2.25, both bfd and gold linkers did this for x86_64, but only the gold linker did this for aarch64. The kernel build here is using the bfd linker, which stored zeroes at the relocation offsets for relative relocations. Since a set of zeroes compresses better than a set of non-zero addend values, this behavior was resulting in much better lz4 compression. The bfd linker in binutils-2.27 is now storing the actual addend values at the relocation offsets. The behavior is now consistent with what it does for x86_64 and what gold linker does for both architectures. The change happened in this upstream commit: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=1f56df9d0d5ad8980… Since a bunch of zeroes got replaced by non-zero addend values, we see the side effect of lz4 compressed image being a bit bigger. To get the old behavior from the bfd linker, "--no-apply-dynamic-relocs" flag can be used: $ LDFLAGS="--no-apply-dynamic-relocs" make With this flag, the compressed image size is back to what it was with binutils-2.25. If the kernel is using ASLR, there aren't additional runtime costs to --no-apply-dynamic-relocs, as the relocations will need to be applied again anyway after the kernel is relocated to a random address. If the kernel is not using ASLR, then presumably the current default behavior of the linker is better. Since the static linker performed the dynamic relocs, and the kernel is not moved to a different address at load time, it can skip applying the relocations all over again."
