Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1.

  Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems
  to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to
  have their own git tree" lately.

  Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here:

   - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually
     grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the
     use of it in containerized systems.

     This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and
     knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who
     also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a
     distinct lack of good judgement :)

   - binder updates and fixes

   - mei driver updates

   - fpga driver updates and additions

   - thunderbolt driver updates

   - soundwire driver updates

   - extcon driver updates

   - nvmem driver updates

   - hyper-v driver updates

   - coresight driver updates

   - pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support

   - lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper
     parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see
     happen. Good stuff.

   - other tiny driver updates and fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: Offload the handling of channels to two workqueues</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=37c2578c0c40e286bc0d30bdc05290b2058cf66e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:37c2578c0c40e286bc0d30bdc05290b2058cf66e</id>
<content type='text'>
vmbus_process_offer() mustn't call channel-&gt;sc_creation_callback()
directly for sub-channels, because sc_creation_callback() -&gt;
vmbus_open() may never get the host's response to the
OPEN_CHANNEL message (the host may rescind a channel at any time,
e.g. in the case of hot removing a NIC), and vmbus_onoffer_rescind()
may not wake up the vmbus_open() as it's blocked due to a non-zero
vmbus_connection.offer_in_progress, and finally we have a deadlock.

The above is also true for primary channels, if the related device
drivers use sync probing mode by default.

And, usually the handling of primary channels and sub-channels can
depend on each other, so we should offload them to different
workqueues to avoid possible deadlock, e.g. in sync-probing mode,
NIC1's netvsc_subchan_work() can race with NIC2's netvsc_probe() -&gt;
rtnl_lock(), and causes deadlock: the former gets the rtnl_lock
and waits for all the sub-channels to appear, but the latter
can't get the rtnl_lock and this blocks the handling of sub-channels.

The patch can fix the multiple-NIC deadlock described above for
v3.x kernels (e.g. RHEL 7.x) which don't support async-probing
of devices, and v4.4, v4.9, v4.14 and v4.18 which support async-probing
but don't enable async-probing for Hyper-V drivers (yet).

The patch can also fix the hang issue in sub-channel's handling described
above for all versions of kernels, including v4.19 and v4.20-rc4.

So actually the patch should be applied to all the existing kernels,
not only the kernels that have 8195b1396ec8.

Currently we are replicating state in struct hv_context that is unnecessary -
this state can be retrieved from the hypervisor. Furthermore, this is a per-cpu
state that is being maintained as a global state in struct hv_context.
Get rid of this state in struct hv_context.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: enable VMBus protocol version 5.0</title>
<updated>2018-05-14T14:06:48Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Dexuan Cui</name>

<published>2018-05-12T09:30:33Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=ae20b254306a6a47054ea0eb8444e0bd8e71fe12'/>
<id>urn:sha1:ae20b254306a6a47054ea0eb8444e0bd8e71fe12</id>
<content type='text'>
With VMBus protocol 5.0, we're able to better support new features, e.g.
running two or more VMBus drivers simultaneously in a single VM -- note:
we can't simply load the current VMBus driver twice, instead, a secondary
VMBus driver must be implemented.

This patch adds the support for the new VMBus protocol, which is available
on new Windows hosts, by:

1) We still use SINT2 for compatibility;
2) We must use Connection ID 4 for the Initiate Contact Message, and for
subsequent messages, we must use the Message Connection ID field in
the host-returned VersionResponse Message.

Notes for developers of the secondary VMBus driver:
1) Must use VMBus protocol 5.0 as well;
2) Must use a different SINT number that is not in use.
3) Must use Connection ID 4 for the Initiate Contact Message, and for
subsequent messages, must use the Message Connection ID field in
the host-returned VersionResponse Message.
4) It's possible that the primary VMBus driver using protocol version 4.0
can work with a secondary VMBus driver using protocol version 5.0, but it's
recommended that both should use 5.0 for new Hyper-V features in the future.

hyperv.h is not part of uapi, there are no (known) users outside of kernel.
We are making changes to this file to match current Hyper-V Hypervisor
Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS, see:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs)
and we don't want to maintain backwards compatibility.

Move the file renaming to hyperv-tlfs.h to avoid confusing it with
mshyperv.h. In future, all definitions from TLFS should go to it and
all kernel objects should go to mshyperv.h or include/linux/hyperv.h.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement Direct Mode for stimer0</title>

<id>urn:sha1:248e742a396e7f00b283f1c56e14b1bef6e3ec56</id>
<content type='text'>
The 2016 version of Hyper-V offers the option to operate the guest VM
per-vcpu stimer's in Direct Mode, which means the timer interupts on its
own vector rather than queueing a VMbus message. Direct Mode reduces
timer processing overhead in both the hypervisor and the guest, and
avoids having timer interrupts pollute the VMbus interrupt stream for
the synthetic NIC and storage.  This patch enables Direct Mode by
default on stimer0 when running on a version of Hyper-V that supports
it.

In prep for coming support of Hyper-V on ARM64, the arch independent
portion of the code contains calls to routines that will be populated
on ARM64 but are not needed and do nothing on x86.
