ipmi: ipmi_devintf: compat_ioctl method fails to take ipmi_mutex

2013-05-19T17:54:49Z

commit 6368087e851e697679af059b4247aca33a69cef3 upstream. When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex. This results in incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures. Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.

drivers/char/ipmi: memcpy, need additional 2 bytes to avoid memory overflow

2013-05-19T17:54:49Z

commit a5f2b3d6a738e7d4180012fe7b541172f8c8dcea upstream. When calling memcpy, read_data and write_data need additional 2 bytes. write_data: for checking: "if (size > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH)" for operating: "memcpy(bt->write_data + 3, data + 1, size - 1)" read_data: for checking: "if (msg_len < 3 || msg_len > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH)" for operating: "memcpy(data + 2, bt->read_data + 4, msg_len - 2)" Signed-off-by: Chen Gang Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vm: convert HPET mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

2013-04-26T04:19:56Z

commit 2323036dfec8ce3ce6e1c86a49a31b039f3300d1 upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The HPET case is simple, widely available, and easy to test (Clemens Ladisch sent a trivial test-program for it).

virtio: rng: disallow multiple device registrations, fixes crashes

2013-03-20T20:04:57Z

commit e84e7a56a3aa2963db506299e29a5f3f09377f9b upstream. The code currently only supports one virtio-rng device at a time. Invoking guests with multiple devices causes the guest to blow up. Check if we've already registered and initialised the driver. Also cleanup in case of registration errors or hot-unplug so that a new device can be used.

hw_random: make buffer usable in scatterlist.

2013-03-14T18:29:42Z

commit f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878 upstream. virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8. However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address (at least on most archs). We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).

virtio_console: Don't access uninitialized data.

2013-02-14T18:48:51Z

commit aded024a12b32fc1ed9a80639681daae2d07ec25 upstream. Don't access uninitialized work-queue when removing device. The work queue is initialized only if the device multi-queue. So don't call cancel_work unless this is a multi-queue device. This fixes the following panic: Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

tpm: Propagate error from tpm_transmit to fix a timeout hang

2012-10-21T16:28:01Z

commit abce9ac292e13da367bbd22c1f7669f988d931ac upstream. tpm_write calls tpm_transmit without checking the return value and assigns the return value unconditionally to chip->pending_data, even if it's an error value. This causes three bugs. So if we write to /dev/tpm0 with a tpm_param_size bigger than TPM_BUFSIZE=0x1000 (e.g. 0x100a) and a bufsize also bigger than TPM_BUFSIZE (e.g. 0x100a) tpm_transmit returns -E2BIG which is assigned to chip->pending_data as -7, but tpm_write returns that TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been successfully been written to the TPM, altough this is not true (bug #1). As we did write more than than TPM_BUFSIZE bytes but tpm_write reports that only TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been written the vfs tries to write the remaining bytes (in this case 10 bytes) to the tpm device driver via tpm_write which then blocks at /* cannot perform a write until the read has cleared either via tpm_read or a user_read_timer timeout */ while (atomic_read(&chip->data_pending) != 0) msleep(TPM_TIMEOUT); for 60 seconds, since data_pending is -7 and nobody is able to read it (since tpm_read luckily checks if data_pending is greater than 0) (#bug 2). After that the remaining bytes are written to the TPM which are interpreted by the tpm as a normal command. (bug #3) So if the last bytes of the command stream happen to be a e.g. tpm_force_clear this gets accidentally sent to the TPM. This patch fixes all three bugs, by propagating the error code of tpm_write and returning -E2BIG if the input buffer is too big, since the response from the tpm for a truncated value is bogus anyway. Moreover it returns -EBUSY to userspace if there is a response ready to be read. Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe Signed-off-by: Kent Yoder Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: ttyprintk, don't touch behind tty->write_buf

random: mix in architectural randomness in extract_buf()

2012-08-15T15:10:30Z

commit d2e7c96af1e54b507ae2a6a7dd2baf588417a7e5 upstream. Mix in any architectural randomness in extract_buf() instead of xfer_secondary_buf(). This allows us to mix in more architectural randomness, and it also makes xfer_secondary_buf() faster, moving a tiny bit of additional CPU overhead to process which is extracting the randomness.

random: Add comment to random_initialize()

2012-08-15T15:10:29Z

commit cbc96b7594b5691d61eba2db8b2ea723645be9ca upstream. Many platforms have per-machine instance data (serial numbers, asset tags, etc.) squirreled away in areas that are accessed during early system bringup. Mixing this data into the random pools has a very high value in providing better random data, so we should allow (and even encourage) architecture code to call add_device_randomness() from the setup_arch() paths. However, this limits our options for internal structure of the random driver since random_initialize() is not called until long after setup_arch(). Add a big fat comment to rand_initialize() spelling out this requirement. Suggested-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
