Merge branch 'driver-core-next' into Linux 3.2

2012-01-06T19:42:52Z

This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file, and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c file, that the merge did not catch. The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell who was invaluable in the merge issues involved with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

xen/xenbus: Reject replies with payload > XENSTORE_PAYLOAD_MAX.

2012-01-04T22:02:03Z

Haogang Chen found out that: There is a potential integer overflow in process_msg() that could result in cross-domain attack. body = kmalloc(msg->hdr.len + 1, GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGH); When a malicious guest passes 0xffffffff in msg->hdr.len, the subsequent call to xb_read() would write to a zero-length buffer. The other end of this connection is always the xenstore backend daemon so there is no guest (malicious or otherwise) which can do this. The xenstore daemon is a trusted component in the system. However this seem like a reasonable robustness improvement so we should have it. And Ian when read the API docs found that: The payload length (len field of the header) is limited to 4096 (XENSTORE_PAYLOAD_MAX) in both directions. If a client exceeds the limit, its xenstored connection will be immediately killed by xenstored, which is usually catastrophic from the client's point of view. Clients (particularly domains, which cannot just reconnect) should avoid this. so this patch checks against that instead. This also avoids a potential integer overflow pointed out by Haogang Chen.

Xen: consolidate and simplify struct xenbus_driver instantiation

2012-01-04T22:01:17Z

The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce a macro to simplify this. Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from the ID table will be used for .driver.name). Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end() wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the 'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore when the macro gets used. v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

xen/grant-table: Support mappings required by blkback

2011-12-20T22:07:27Z

Add support for mappings without GNTMAP_contains_pte. This was not supported because the unmap operation assumed that this flag was being used; adding a parameter to the unmap operation to allow the PTE clearing to be disabled is sufficient to make unmap capable of supporting either mapping type.

Revert "xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add xs_reset_watches to shutdown watches from old kernel"

2011-12-19T14:30:35Z

This reverts commit ddacf5ef684a655abe2bb50c4b2a5b72ae0d5e05. As when booting the kernel under Amazon EC2 as an HVM guest it ends up hanging during startup. Reverting this we loose the fix for kexec booting to the crash kernels.

xen: Add xenbus_backend device

2011-12-16T18:29:41Z

Access for xenstored to the event channel and pre-allocated ring is managed via xenfs. This adds its own character device featuring mmap for the ring and an ioctl for the event channel. Signed-off-by: Bastian Blank Acked-by: Ian Campbell Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
