This reverts commit 584ec12265192bf49dfa270d517380f6723a6956, which
was commit ddfadd7736b677de2d4ca2cd5b4b655368c85a7a upstream.  It
causes boot failure on 3.2 although no such problem occurs upstream.

<id>urn:sha1:13554d2017c77801352e6122e24a7da0517edb64</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c59053a23d586675c25d789a7494adfdc02fba57 upstream.

In the first place, the loop 'for' in the macro 'for_each_isci_host'
(drivers/scsi/isci/host.h:314) is incorrect, because it accesses
the 3rd element of 2 element array. After the 2nd iteration it executes
the instruction:
        ihost = to_pci_info(pdev)-&gt;hosts[2]
(while the size of the 'hosts' array equals 2) and reads an
out of range element.

In the second place, this loop is incorrectly optimized by GCC v4.8
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=138998871911336&amp;w=2).
As a result, on platforms with two SCU controllers,
the loop is executed more times than it can be (for i=0,1 and 2).
It causes kernel panic during entering the S3 state
and the following oops after 'rmmod isci':

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

<content type='text'>
commit ddfadd7736b677de2d4ca2cd5b4b655368c85a7a upstream.

Remove an erroneous BUG_ON() in the case of a hard reset timeout.  The
reset timeout handler puts the port into the "awaiting link-up" state.
The timeout causes the device to be disconnected and we need to be in
the awaiting link-up state to re-connect the port.  The BUG_ON() made
the incorrect assumption that resets never timeout and we always
complete the reset in the "resetting" state.

Testing this patch also uncovered that libata continues to attempt to
reset the port long after the driver has torn down the context.  Once
the driver has committed to abandoning the link it must indicate to
libata that recovery ends by returning -ENODEV from
-&gt;lldd_I_T_nexus_reset().

commit 96f15f29038e58e1b0a96483e2b369ff446becf1 upstream.

This commit fixes a race condition in the isci driver abort task and SSP
device task management path.  The race is caused when an I/O termination
in the SCU hardware is necessary because of an SSP target timeout condition,
and the check of the I/O end state races against the HW-termination-driven
end state.  The failure of the race meant that no TMF was sent to the device
to clean-up the pending I/O.

<title>efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities</title>

<id>urn:sha1:06c73e442edec7cda81193276c72fda1abb96fb0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 83e68189745ad931c2afd45d8ee3303929233e7f upstream.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.

The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557

which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,

    if (!efi_enabled)

hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.

Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.

For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).

This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

commit 49bd665c5407a453736d3232ee58f2906b42e83c upstream.

SATA MICROCODE DOWNALOAD fails on isci driver. After receiving Register
Device to Host (FIS 0x34) frame Initiator resets phy.
In the frame handler routine response (FIS 0x34) was copied into wrong
buffer and upper layer did not receive any answer which resulted in
timeout and reset.
This patch corrects this bug.

commit 6d70a74ffd616073a68ae0974d98819bfa8e6da6 upstream.

The oem parameter image embedded in the efi variable is at an offset
from the start of the variable.  However, in the failure path we try to
free the 'orom' pointer which is only valid when the paramaters are
being read from the legacy option-rom space.

Since failure to load the oem parameters is unlikely and we keep the
memory around in the success case just defer all de-allocation to devm.

commit fc25f79af321c01a739150ba2c09435cf977a63d upstream.

OEM parameters [1] are parsed from the platform option-rom / efi
driver.  By default the driver was validating the parameters for the
dual-controller case, but in single-controller case only the first set
of parameters may be valid.

Limit the validation to the number of actual controllers detected
otherwise the driver may fail to parse the valid parameters leading to
driver-load or runtime failures.

[1] the platform specific set of phy address, configuration,and analog
    tuning values

Fixes bug where max_concurr_spinup oem parameter should be
overriden by max_concurr_spinup user parameter. Override should
happen only when max_concurr_spinup user parameter is specified
in command line (greater than 0). Also this fix shortens variables
representing max_conxurr_spinup for oem and user parameters.

<id>urn:sha1:52d74634335dfc0984ed955ed3c6ad6488495f96</id>
<content type='text'>
The initial bcn filtering implementation was validated on a kernel
baseline that predated the switch to new libata error handling.  Also,
prior to that conversion we borrowed the mvsas MVS_DEV_EH approach to
prevent the unwanted extra ap-&gt;ops-&gt;phy_reset(ap) that occurred in the
ata_bus_probe() path.

After the conversion to new libata eh resets at discovery are more
frequent and get filtered prematurely by IDEV_EH.  The result is that
our bcn filtering has been blocked from running and at discovery and it
appears to stall discovery completion to the point of triggering hung
task timeouts.  So, revert the implementation for now.  When it returns
it will go into libsas proper.

The domain rediscovery that takes place due to -&gt;lldd_I_T_nexus_reset()
events should now be properly waited for by the ata_port_wait_eh() call
in ata_port_probe().  So the hard coded delay in the isci
-&gt;lldd_I_T_nexus_reset() and other libsas drivers should help debounce
the libsas thread from seeing temporary device removals.
