2014-08-07x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stackH. Peter Anvin
commit 3891a04aafd668686239349ea58f3314ea2af86b upstream. The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. This causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state to user space. We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in 64-bit mode. In checkin: b3b42ac2cbae x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work. This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart. When we detect that the return SS is on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the relevant alias to return to userspace. The ministacks are mapped readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF handler. (Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.) Special thanks to: - Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF. - Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing. - Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

2014-07-23arm64: Relax the kernel cache requirements for bootCatalin Marinas
With system caches for the host OS or architected caches for guest OS we cannot easily guarantee that there are no dirty or stale cache lines for the areas of memory written by the kernel during boot with the MMU off (therefore non-cacheable accesses). This patch adds the necessary cache maintenance during boot and relaxes the booting requirements.

2014-07-16ARM: perf: set cpu affinity to support multiple PMUsSudeep KarkadaNagesha
In a system with multiple heterogeneous CPU PMUs and each PMUs can handle events on a subset of CPUs, probably belonging a the same cluster. This patch introduces a cpumask to track which CPUs each PMU supports. It also updates armpmu_event_init to reject cpu-specific events being initialised for unsupported CPUs. Since process-specific events can be initialised for all the CPU PMUs,armpmu_start/stop/add are modified to prevent from being added on unsupported CPUs.

If a value in the range [1, 7] is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL. This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

2014-06-30mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle ↵Naoya Horiguchi
SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO) commit 3ba08129e38437561df44c36b7ea9081185d5333 upstream. Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the deferred manner by default. And if a recovery aware application wants to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag. However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to handler such signals. So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler. We have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main thread. If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl() to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread. Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines. No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases. Tony said: : The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might : well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then : that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if : that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

2014-06-26ima: audit log files opened with O_DIRECT flagMimi Zohar
commit f9b2a735bdddf836214b5dca74f6ca7712e5a08c upstream. Files are measured or appraised based on the IMA policy. When a file, in policy, is opened with the O_DIRECT flag, a deadlock occurs. The first attempt at resolving this lockdep temporarily removed the O_DIRECT flag and restored it, after calculating the hash. The second attempt introduced the O_DIRECT_HAVELOCK flag. Based on this flag, do_blockdev_direct_IO() would skip taking the i_mutex a second time. The third attempt, by Dmitry Kasatkin, resolves the i_mutex locking issue, by re-introducing the IMA mutex, but uncovered another problem. Reading a file with O_DIRECT flag set, writes directly to userspace pages. A second patch allocates a user-space like memory. This works for all IMA hooks, except ima_file_free(), which is called on __fput() to recalculate the file hash. Until this last issue is addressed, do not 'collect' the measurement for measuring, appraising, or auditing files opened with the O_DIRECT flag set. Based on policy, permit or deny file access. This patch defines a new IMA policy rule option named 'permit_directio'. Policy rules could be defined, based on LSM or other criteria, to permit specific applications to open files with the O_DIRECT flag set.

Users may want to either disable or modify this timeout. Allow the out-of-data-space timeout to be configured using the 'no_space_timeout' dm-thin-pool module param.

commit 2fe2023adf695d08af5b598b2be3b288a95d563c upstream. Undo a feature introduced in v3.14 by commit fcd46b34425d "firewire: Enable remote DMA above 4 GB". That change raised the minimum address at which protocol drivers and user programs can register for request reception from 0x0001'0000'0000 to 0x8000'0000'0000. It turned out that at least one vendor-specific protocol exists which uses lower addresses: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76921 For the time being, revert most of commit fcd46b34425d so that affected protocols work like with kernel v3.13 and before. Just keep the valid documentation parts from the regressing commit, and the ability to identify controllers which could be programmed to accept >32 bit physical DMA addresses. The rest of fcd46b34425d should probably be brought back as an optional instead of default feature.

commit 36189cc3cd57ab0f1cd75241f93fe01de928ac06 upstream.

2014-06-07ARM: common: edma: Fix xbar mappingThomas Gleixner
commit cf7eb979116c2568e8bc3b6a7269c7a359864ace upstream. This is another great example of trainwreck engineering: commit 2646a0e529 (ARM: edma: Add EDMA crossbar event mux support) added support for using EDMA on peripherals which have no direct EDMA event mapping. The code compiles and does not explode in your face, but that's it. 1) Reading an u16 array from an u32 device tree array simply does not work. Even if the function is named "edma_of_read_u32_to_s16_array". It merily calls of_property_read_u16_array. So the resulting 16bit array will have every other entry = 0. 2) The DT entry for the xbar registers related to xbar has length 0x10 instead of the real length: 0xfd0 - 0xf90 = 0x40. Not a real problem as it does not cross a page boundary, but wrong nevertheless. 3) But none of this matters as the mapping never happens: After reading nonsense edma_of_read_u32_to_s16_array() invalidates the first array entry pair, so nobody can ever notice the braindamage by immediate explosion. Seems the QA criteria for this code was solely not to explode when someone adds edma-xbar-event-map entries to the DT. Goal achieved, congratulations! Not really helpful if someone wants to use edma on a device which requires a xbar mapping. Fix the issues by: - annotating the device tree entry with "/bits/ 16" as documented in the of_property_read_u16_array kernel doc - make the size of the xbar register mapping correct - invalidating the end of the array and not the start This convoluted mess wants to be completely rewritten as there is no point to keep the xbar_chan array memory and the iomapping of the xbar regs around forever. Marking the xbar mapped channels as used should be done right there. But that's a different issue and this patch is small enough to make it work and allows a simple backport for stable.

The screen will be filled with "schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83" This patch does some check and correction in sysctl, to let the function schedule_timeout_interruptible allways get the valid parameter.

commit 12f6dd860cf8bf036c0bec38c00a53da71bcd43a upstream. Wolfram Sang pointed out that "efm32,$device" is non-standard. So use the common scheme and prefix device with "efm32-". The old compatible string is left in place until arch/arm/boot/dts/efm32* is fixed.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the game. Anyways: 1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes. From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann. 2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the release callbacks. This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving variables and such significantly clearer names such that the actual fix itself at the end looks trivial. From Michael S. Tsirkin. 3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on an already "owned" socket. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes multicast address. From Linus Lüssing. 5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter for the helper function call in the wrong register. Fix from Alexei Starovoitov. 6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the r8169 driver is incorrect. Fix from Hayes Wang. 7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test. It should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead. Fix from Wei Liu. 8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from Matthew Leach. 9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts in the latter. Fix from Alexander Aring. 10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct order, so promiscuous settings can get lost. Fix from Stefan Wahren. 11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann. 12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and Erik Hugne. 13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e. 6lowpan) can crash. Fix from Florian Westphal. 14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC. From Anton Blanchard. The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only as a value that, once folded (f.e. via csum_fold()) produces a correct 16-bit checksum. It is legitimate, therefore, for csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the same data if their respective alignments are different. 15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also from Anton Blanchard. 16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed, from Anton Nayshtut. 17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the garbage collection threshold. Fix from Sabrina Dubroca. 18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular causes the firmware to shut down the PHY. Fix from Michael Chan. 19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations. From Eric Dumazet. 20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay() call, fix from Ben Hutchings. 21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix from Eric Dumazet. 22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in some circumstances. Fix from Peter Boström" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (70 commits) ipv6: Avoid unnecessary temporary addresses being generated eth: fec: Fix lost promiscuous mode after reconnecting cable bonding: set correct vlan id for alb xmit path at86rf230: fix lockdep splats net/mlx4_en: Deregister multicast vxlan steering rules when going down vmxnet3: fix building without CONFIG_PCI_MSI MAINTAINERS: add networking selftests to NETWORKING net: socket: error on a negative msg_namelen MAINTAINERS: Add tools/net to NETWORKING [GENERAL] packet: doc: Spelling s/than/that/ net/mlx4_core: Load the IB driver when the device supports IBoE net/mlx4_en: Handle vxlan steering rules for mac address changes net/mlx4_core: Fix wrong dump of the vxlan offloads device capability xen-netback: use skb_is_gso in xenvif_start_xmit r8169: fix the incorrect tx descriptor version tools/net/Makefile: Define PACKAGE to fix build problems x86: bpf_jit: support negative offsets bridge: multicast: enable snooping on general queries only bridge: multicast: add sanity check for general query destination tcp: tcp_release_cb() should release socket ownership ...

A little large due to us missing to do one last week, but there's nothing in particular here that is in itself large and scary. Mostly a handful of smaller fixes all over the place. The majority is made up of fixes for OMAP, but there are a few for others as well. In particular, there was a decision to rename a binding for the Broadcom pinctrl block that we need to go in before the final release since we then treat it as ABI" * tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: ARM: dts: omap3-gta04: Add ti,omap36xx to compatible property to avoid problems with booting ARM: tegra: add LED options back into tegra_defconfig ARM: dts: omap3-igep: fix boot fail due wrong compatible match ARM: OMAP3: Fix pinctrl interrupts for core2 pinctrl: Rename Broadcom Capri pinctrl binding pinctrl: refer to updated dt binding string.
