[PATCH 4.19 67/75] RAS/CEC: Convert the timer callback to a workqueue

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>

commit 0ade0b6240c4853cf9725924c46c10f4251639d7 upstream.

cec_timer_fn() is a timer callback which reads ce_arr.array[] and
updates its decay values. However, it runs in interrupt context and the
mutex protection the CEC uses for that array, is inadequate. Convert the
used timer to a workqueue to keep the tasks the CEC performs preemptible
and thus low-prio.

 [ bp: Rewrite commit message.
   s/timer/decay/gi to make it agnostic as to what facility is used. ]

[PATCH 4.19 68/75] RAS/CEC: Fix binary search function

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

commit f3c74b38a55aefe1004200d15a83f109b510068c upstream.

Switch to using Donald Knuth's binary search algorithm (The Art of
Computer Programming, vol. 3, section 6.2.1). This should've been done
from the very beginning but the author must've been smoking something
very potent at the time.

The problem with the current one was that it would return the wrong
element index in certain situations:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAM_iQpVd02zkVJ846cj-Fg1yUNuz6tY5q1Vpj4LrXmE06dPYYg@mail.gmail.com

and the noodling code after the loop was fishy at best.

So switch to using Knuth's binary search. The final result is much
cleaner and straightforward.
