2008-10-22security: avoid calling a NULL function pointer in drivers/video/tvaudio.cArjan van de Ven
commit 5ba2f67afb02c5302b2898949ed6fc3b3d37dcf1 upstream NULL function pointers are very bad security wise. This one got caught by kerneloops.org quite a few times, so it's happening in the field.... Fix is simple, check the function pointer for NULL, like 6 other places in the same function are already doing.

2008-10-22drm/i915: fix ioremap of a user address for non-root (CVE-2008-3831)Matthias Hopf
commit 4b40893918203ee1a1f6a114316c2a19c072e9bd upstream Olaf Kirch noticed that the i915_set_status_page() function of the i915 kernel driver calls ioremap with an address offset that is supplied by userspace via ioctl. The function zeroes the mapped memory via memset and tells the hardware about the address. Turns out that access to that ioctl is not restricted to root so users could probably exploit that to do nasty things. We haven't tried to write actual exploit code though. It only affects the Intel G33 series and newer. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

If a bttv device without radio and one with radio are installed on the same system, and the one without radio is registered first, then radio_open checks for the radio device number of a bttv device that has no radio function, and this breaks.

2008-10-22Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPENDLinus Torvalds
commit efc968d450e013049a662d22727cf132618dcb2f upstream This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination. It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones. But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought, and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file). So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this way we have one less gray area to worry about.

2008-10-22CIFS: make sure we have the right resume info before calling CIFSFindNextSteve French
commit 0752f1522a9120f731232919f7ad904e9e22b8ce upstream When we do a seekdir() or equivalent, we usually end up doing a FindFirst call and then call FindNext until we get to the offset that we want. The problem is that when we call FindNext, the code usually doesn't have the proper info (mostly, the filename of the entry from the last search) to resume the search. Add a "last_entry" field to the cifs_search_info that points to the last entry in the search. We calculate this pointer by using the LastNameOffset field from the search parms that are returned. We then use that info to do a cifs_save_resume_key before we call CIFSFindNext. This patch allows CIFS to reliably pass the "telldir" connectathon test.

2008-10-22sched_rt.c: resch needed in rt_rq_enqueue() for the root rt_rqDario Faggioli
commit f6121f4f8708195e88cbdf8dd8d171b226b3f858 upstream While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c (do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue(). The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL). Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL) rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined instant in the future. This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling. For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying between 70% to 95%. Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and I can see values also going down to 20-25%!! The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task, and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly if you think it is needed. Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us.

2008-10-22x86: Reserve FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR in used_vectors bitmap.Stefan Bader
Not in upstream above 2.6.27 due to change in the way this code works (has been fixed differently there.) Someone from the community found out, that after repeatedly unloading and loading a device driver that uses MSI IRQs, the system eventually assigned the vector initially reserved for IRQ0 to the device driver. The reason for this is, that although IRQ0 is tied to the FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR when declaring the irq_vector table, the corresponding bit in the used_vectors map is not set. So, if vectors are released and assigned often enough, the vector will get assigned to another interrupt. This happens more often with MSI interrupts as those are exclusively using a vector. Fix this by setting the bit for the FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR in the bitmap.

[ Upstream commit add52379dde2e5300e2d574b172e62c6cf43b3d3 ] If INIT-ACK is received with SupportedExtensions parameter which indicates that the peer does not support AUTH, the packet will be silently ignore, and sctp_process_init() do cleanup all of the transports in the association. When T1-Init timer is expires, OOPS happen while we try to choose a different init transport. The solution is to only clean up the non-active transports, i.e the ones that the peer added. However, that introduces a problem with sctp_connectx(), because we don't mark the proper state for the transports provided by the user. So, we'll simply mark user-provided transports as ACTIVE.

A short example illustrating this point is here: #include <stdio.h> main(void) { printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int)); } ...which prints "1".

2008-10-08clockevents: remove WARN_ON which was used to gather informationThomas Gleixner
commit 61c22c34c6f80a8e89cff5ff717627c54cc14fd4 upstream The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected machines. The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of the min_delta_ns value.

2008-10-08ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC syncMaciej W. Rozycki
commit 4ff4b9e19a80b73959ebeb28d1df40176686f0a8 upstream We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec equals 5e8 (500000000). If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the timer. Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode, where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2. As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an integer multiple of TICK_NSEC. This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

commit f7676254f179eac6b5244a80195ec8ae0e9d4606 upstream We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because: 1) some HPETs are 32bit only 2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and 64 bit. This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit unawareness. unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit. but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless loops.

commit 7cfb0435330364f90f274a26ecdc5f47f738498c upstream The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks, which is stupid as it does not work with faster running HPETs.

commit 1fb9b7d29d8e85ba3196eaa7ab871bf76fc98d36 upstream The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event. The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again.

2008-10-08clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noopVenkatesh Pallipadi
commit 7c1e76897492d92b6a1c2d6892494d39ded9680c upstream There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

2008-10-08ACPI: Avoid bogus EC timeout when EC is in Polling modeZhao Yakui
commit 9d699ed92a459cb408e2577e8bbeabc8ec3989e1 upstream When EC is in Polling mode, OS will check the EC status continually by using the following source code: clear_bit(EC_FLAGS_WAIT_GPE, &ec->flags); while (time_before(jiffies, delay)) { if (acpi_ec_check_status(ec, event)) return 0; msleep(1); } But msleep is realized by the function of schedule_timeout. At the same time although one process is already waken up by some events, it won't be scheduled immediately. So maybe there exists the following phenomena: a. The current jiffies is already after the predefined jiffies. But before timeout happens, OS has no chance to check the EC status again. b. If preemptible schedule is enabled, maybe preempt schedule will happen before checking loop. When the process is resumed again, maybe timeout already happens, which means that OS has no chance to check the EC status. In such case maybe EC status is already what OS expects when timeout happens. But OS has no chance to check the EC status and regards it as AE_TIME. So it will be more appropriate that OS will try to check the EC status again when timeout happens. If the EC status is what we expect, it won't be regarded as timeout. Only when the EC status is not what we expect, it will be regarded as timeout, which means that EC controller can't give a response in time. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9823 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11141 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

commit 8423597d676615f3dd2d9ab36f59f147086b90b8 upstream Fixes several chipselect bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. These bugs are in all versions of this driver and prevent using it with chips like m25p16 flash. 1. The spi_transfer.cs_change flag is handled too early: before spi_transfer.delay_usecs applies, thus making the delay ineffective at holding chip select. 2. spi_transfer.delay_usecs is ignored on the last transfer of a message (likewise not holding chipselect long enough). 3. If spi_transfer.cs_change is set on the last transfer, the chip select is always disabled, instead of the intended meaning: optionally holding chip select enabled for the next message. Those first three bugs were fixed with a relocation of delays and chip select de-assertions. 4. If a message has the cs_change flag set on the last transfer, and had the chip select stayed enabled as requested (see 3, above), it would not have been disabled if the next message is for a different chip. Fixed by dropping chip select regardless of cs_change at end of a message, if there is no next message or if the next message is for a different chip. This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20; it was test patched against 2.6.20. An additional patch would be required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

commit 7e96445533ac3f4f7964646a202ff3620602fab4 upstream Fixes two DMA bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. The first bug is in all versions of this driver; the second was introduced in the 2.6.20 kernel, and prevents using the driver with chips like m25p16 flash (which can issue large DMA reads). 1. Zero length transfers are permitted for use to insert timing, but pxa2xx_spi.c will fail if this is requested in DMA mode. Fixed by using programmed I/O (PIO) mode for such transfers. 2. Transfers larger than 8191 are not permitted in DMA mode. A test for length rejects all large transfers regardless of DMA or PIO mode. Worked around by rejecting only large transfers with DMA mapped buffers, and forcing all other transfers larger than 8191 to use PIO mode. A rate limited warning is issued for DMA transfers forced to PIO mode. This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20; it was test patched against 2.6.20.
