x86_32, entry: Store badsys error code in %eax

2014-07-31T19:44:08Z

commit 8142b215501f8b291a108a202b3a053a265b03dd upstream. Commit 554086d ("x86_32, entry: Do syscall exit work on badsys (CVE-2014-4508)") introduced a regression in the x86_32 syscall entry code, resulting in syscall() not returning proper errors for undefined syscalls on CPUs supporting the sysenter feature. The following code: > int result = syscall(666); > printf("result=%d errno=%d error=%s\n", result, errno, strerror(errno)); results in: > result=666 errno=0 error=Success Obviously, the syscall return value is the called syscall number, but it should have been an ENOSYS error. When run under ptrace it behaves correctly, which makes it hard to debug in the wild: > result=-1 errno=38 error=Function not implemented The %eax register is the return value register. For debugging via ptrace the syscall entry code stores the complete register context on the stack. The badsys handlers only store the ENOSYS error code in the ptrace register set and do not set %eax like a regular syscall handler would. The old resume_userspace call chain contains code that clobbers %eax and it restores %eax from the ptrace registers afterwards. The same goes for the ptrace-enabled call chain. When ptrace is not used, the syscall return value is the passed-in syscall number from the untouched %eax register. Use %eax as the return value register in syscall_badsys and sysenter_badsys, like a real syscall handler does, and have the caller push the value onto the stack for ptrace access.

parisc: Remove SA_RESTORER define

2014-07-31T19:44:08Z

commit 20dbea494543aefaace874cc3ec93a39b94b1ec4 upstream. The sa_restorer field in struct sigaction is obsolete and no longer in the parisc implementation. However, the core code assumes the field is present if SA_RESTORER is defined. So, the define needs to be removed.

powerpc/pseries: dynamically added OF nodes need to call of_node_init

2014-07-31T19:44:07Z

commit 97a9a7179aad701ab676e6f29eb90766a1acfde2 upstream. Commit 75b57ecf9 refactored device tree nodes to use kobjects such that they can be exposed via /sysfs. A secondary commit 0829f6d1f furthered this rework by moving the kobect initialization logic out of of_node_add into its own of_node_init function. The inital commit removed the existing kref_init calls in the pseries dlpar code with the assumption kobject initialization would occur in of_node_add. The second commit had the side effect of triggering a BUG_ON during DLPAR, migration and suspend/resume operations as a result of dynamically added nodes being uninitialized. This patch fixes this by adding of_node_init calls in place of the previously removed kref_init calls.

s390/ptrace: fix PSW mask check

2014-07-31T19:44:07Z

commit dab6cf55f81a6e16b8147aed9a843e1691dcd318 upstream. The PSW mask check of the PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA command is incorrect. The PSW_MASK_USER define contains the PSW_MASK_ASC bits, the ptrace interface accepts all combinations for the address-space-control bits. To protect the kernel space the PSW mask check in ptrace needs to reject the address-space-control bit combination for home space.

xtensa: fix sysmem reservation at the end of existing block

2014-07-31T19:44:06Z

commit be6ae382dc153da51cf066c8dd523aa955f02531 upstream. When sysmem reservation occurs exactly at the end of an existing block that block is deleted, because it is incorrectly included in the range of memblocks to remove. Fix that by skipping such block.

x86/efi: Include a .bss section within the PE/COFF headers

2014-07-28T15:08:28Z

commit c7fb93ec51d462ec3540a729ba446663c26a0505 upstream. The PE/COFF headers currently describe only the initialised-data portions of the image, and result in no space being allocated for the uninitialised-data portions. Consequently, the EFI boot stub will end up overwriting unexpected areas of memory, with unpredictable results. Fix by including a .bss section in the PE/COFF headers (functionally equivalent to the init_size field in the bzImage header).

locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures

2014-07-28T15:08:28Z

commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc upstream. The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice; this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32, metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon. There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to trigger, so blacklist this. Opt in for known good archs.

x86, tsc: Fix cpufreq lockup

2014-07-28T15:08:27Z

commit 3896c329df8092661dac80f55a8c3f60136fd61a upstream. Mauro reported that his AMD X2 using the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver locked up when doing cpu hotplug. Because we called set_cyc2ns_scale() from the time_cpufreq_notifier() unconditionally, it gets called multiple times for each freq change, instead of only the once, when the tsc_khz value actually changes. Because it gets called more than once, we run out of cyc2ns data slots and stall, waiting for a free one, but because we're half way offline, there's no consumers to free slots. By placing the call inside the condition that actually changes tsc_khz we avoid superfluous calls and avoid the problem.
