Char: ipmi_bt_sm, fix infinite loop

2014-04-27T00:13:19Z

commit a94cdd1f4d30f12904ab528152731fb13a812a16 upstream. In read_all_bytes, we do unsigned char i; ... bt->read_data[0] = BMC2HOST; bt->read_count = bt->read_data[0]; ... for (i = 1; i <= bt->read_count; i++) bt->read_data[i] = BMC2HOST; If bt->read_data[0] == bt->read_count == 255, we loop infinitely in the 'for' loop. Make 'i' an 'int' instead of 'char' to get rid of the overflow and finish the loop after 255 iterations every time.

isdnloop: several buffer overflows

2014-04-27T00:13:18Z

[ Upstream commit 7563487cbf865284dcd35e9ef5a95380da046737 ] There are three buffer overflows addressed in this patch. 1) In isdnloop_fake_err() we add an 'E' to a 60 character string and then copy it into a 60 character buffer. I have made the destination buffer 64 characters and I'm changed the sprintf() to a snprintf(). 2) In isdnloop_parse_cmd(), p points to a 6 characters into a 60 character buffer so we have 54 characters. The ->eazlist[] is 11 characters long. I have modified the code to return if the source buffer is too long. 3) In isdnloop_command() the cbuf[] array was 60 characters long but the max length of the string then can be up to 79 characters. I made the cbuf array 80 characters long and changed the sprintf() to snprintf(). I also removed the temporary "dial" buffer and changed it to use "p" directly. Unfortunately, we pass the "cbuf" string from isdnloop_command() to isdnloop_writecmd() which truncates anything over 60 characters to make it fit in card->omsg[]. (It can accept values up to 255 characters so long as there is a '\n' character every 60 characters). For now I have just fixed the memory corruption bug and left the other problems in this driver alone. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xen-netback: remove pointless clause from if statement

2014-04-27T00:13:17Z

[ Upstream commit 0576eddf24df716d8570ef8ca11452a9f98eaab2 ] This patch removes a test in start_new_rx_buffer() that checks whether a copy operation is less than MAX_BUFFER_OFFSET in length, since MAX_BUFFER_OFFSET is defined to be PAGE_SIZE and the only caller of start_new_rx_buffer() already limits copy operations to PAGE_SIZE or less.

vhost: validate vhost_get_vq_desc return value

2014-04-27T00:13:17Z

[ Upstream commit a39ee449f96a2cd44ce056d8a0a112211a9b1a1f ] vhost fails to validate negative error code from vhost_get_vq_desc causing a crash: we are using -EFAULT which is 0xfffffff2 as vector size, which exceeds the allocated size.

vhost: fix total length when packets are too short

2014-04-27T00:13:17Z

[ Upstream commit d8316f3991d207fe32881a9ac20241be8fa2bad0 ] When mergeable buffers are disabled, and the incoming packet is too large for the rx buffer, get_rx_bufs returns success. This was intentional in order for make recvmsg truncate the packet and then handle_rx would detect err != sock_len and drop it. Unfortunately we pass the original sock_len to recvmsg - which means we use parts of iov not fully validated. Fix this up by detecting this overrun and doing packet drop immediately.

powernow-k6: correctly initialize default parameters

2014-04-14T13:44:34Z

commit d82b922a4acc1781d368aceac2f9da43b038cab2 upstream. The powernow-k6 driver used to read the initial multiplier from the powernow register. However, there is a problem with this: * If there was a frequency transition before, the multiplier read from the register corresponds to the current multiplier. * If there was no frequency transition since reset, the field in the register always reads as zero, regardless of the current multiplier that is set using switches on the mainboard and that the CPU is running at. The zero value corresponds to multiplier 4.5, so as a consequence, the powernow-k6 driver always assumes multiplier 4.5. For example, if we have 550MHz CPU with bus frequency 100MHz and multiplier 5.5, the powernow-k6 driver thinks that the multiplier is 4.5 and bus frequency is 122MHz. The powernow-k6 driver then sets the multiplier to 4.5, underclocking the CPU to 450MHz, but reports the current frequency as 550MHz. There is no reliable way how to read the initial multiplier. I modified the driver so that it contains a table of known frequencies (based on parameters of existing CPUs and some common overclocking schemes) and sets the multiplier according to the frequency. If the frequency is unknown (because of unusual overclocking or underclocking), the user must supply the bus speed and maximum multiplier as module parameters. This patch should be backported to all stable kernels. If it doesn't apply cleanly, change it, or ask me to change it. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

powernow-k6: disable cache when changing frequency

2014-04-14T13:44:34Z

commit e20e1d0ac02308e2211306fc67abcd0b2668fb8b upstream. I found out that a system with k6-3+ processor is unstable during network server load. The system locks up or the network card stops receiving. The reason for the instability is the CPU frequency scaling. During frequency transition the processor is in "EPM Stop Grant" state. The documentation says that the processor doesn't respond to inquiry requests in this state. Consequently, coherency of processor caches and bus master devices is not maintained, causing the system instability. This patch flushes the cache during frequency transition. It fixes the instability. Other minor changes: * u64 invalue changed to unsigned long because the variable is 32-bit * move the logic to set the multiplier to a separate function powernow_k6_set_cpu_multiplier * preserve lower 5 bits of the powernow port instead of 4 (the voltage field has 5 bits) * mask interrupts when reading the multiplier, so that the port is not open during other activity (running other kernel code with the port open shouldn't cause any misbehavior, but we should better be safe and keep the port closed) This patch should be backported to all stable kernels. If it doesn't apply cleanly, change it, or ask me to change it. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
