commit 2a6e06b2aed6995af401dcd4feb5e79a0c7ea554 upstream.
Commit 1d9d8639c063 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after
suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling
after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the
DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering.
init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU
cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the
early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all
happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single()
ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number
matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead.
This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the
wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

commit 1d9d8639c063caf6efc2447f5f26aa637f844ff6 upstream.
This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS)
after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked
on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly
by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS
measurement to crash when running on CPU0.
The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore
the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0,
the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

commit b81273a132177edd806476b953f6afeb17b786d5 upstream.
Now that login from util-linux is forced to drop all references to a
TTY which it wants to hangup (to reach reference count 1) we are
seeing issues with telnet. When login closes its last reference to the
slave PTY, it also resets packet mode on the *master* side. And we
have a race here.
What telnet does is fork+exec of `login'. Then there are two
scenarios:
* `login' closes the slave TTY and resets thus master's packet mode,
but even now telnet properly sets the mode, or
* `telnetd' sets packet mode on the master, `login' closes the slave
TTY and resets master's packet mode.
The former case is OK. However the latter happens in much more cases,
by the order of magnitude to be precise. So when one tries to login to
such a messed telnet setup, they see the following:
inux login:
ogin incorrect
Note the missing first letters -- telnet thinks it is still in the
packet mode, so when it receives "linux login" from `login', it
considers "l" as the type of the packet and strips it.
SuS does not mention how the implementation should behave. Both BSDs I
checked (Free and Net) do not reset the flag upon the last close.
By this I am resurrecting an old bug, see References. We are hitting
it regularly now, i.e. with updated util-linux, ergo login.
Here, I am changing a behavior introduced back in 2.1 times. It would
better have a long time testing before goes upstream.

commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream.
The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike
its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
16-bit output.
This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.
The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
way they handle invalid byte combinations. But that's a subject for a
different patch.

commit bc178622d40d87e75abc131007342429c9b03351 upstream.
Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me:
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2
...
unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy
because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it.
Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a
blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over from the unmount
path:
btrfs_close_devices
__btrfs_close_devices
call_rcu(&device->rcu, free_device);
free_device
INIT_WORK(&device->rcu_work, __free_device);
schedule_work(&device->rcu_work);
so unmount might complete before __free_device fires & does its blkdev_put.
Adding an rcu_barrier() to btrfs_close_devices() causes unmount to wait
until all blkdev_put()s are done, and the device is truly free once
unmount completes.

commit b1a6650406875b9097a032eed89af50682fe1160 upstream.
When loopdev is built as module and we pass an invalid parameter,
loop_init() will return directly without deregister misc device, which
will cause an oops when insert loop module next time because we left some
garbage in the misc device list.
Test case:
sudo modprobe loop max_part=1024
(failed due to invalid parameter)
sudo modprobe loop
(oops)
Clean up nicely to avoid such oops.

commit 5370019dc2d2c2ff90e95d181468071362934f3a upstream.
bd_mutex and lo_ctl_mutex can be held in different order.
Path #1:
blkdev_open
blkdev_get
__blkdev_get (hold bd_mutex)
lo_open (hold lo_ctl_mutex)
Path #2:
blkdev_ioctl
lo_ioctl (hold lo_ctl_mutex)
lo_set_capacity (hold bd_mutex)
Lockdep does not report it, because path #2 actually holds a subclass of
lo_ctl_mutex. This subclass seems creep into the code by mistake. The
patch author actually just mentioned it in the changelog, see commit
f028f3b2 ("loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()"), also see:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123806169129727&w=2
Path #2 hold bd_mutex to call bd_set_size(), I've protected it
with i_mutex in a previous patch, so drop bd_mutex at this site.

commit 08e34eb14fe4cfd934b5c169a7682a969457c4ea upstream.
After a guest is live migrated, the xen-netfront driver emits a gratuitous
ARP message, so that networking hardware on the target host's subnet can
take notice, and public routing to the guest is re-established. However,
if the packet appears on the backend interface before the backend is added
to the target host's bridge, the packet is lost, and the migrated guest's
peers become unable to talk to the guest.
A sufficient two-parts condition to prevent the above is:
(1) ensure that the backend only moves to Connected xenbus state after its
hotplug scripts completed, ie. the netback interface got added to the
bridge; and
(2) ensure the frontend only queues the gARP when it sees the backend move
to Connected.
These two together provide complete ordering. Sub-condition (1) is already
satisfied by commit f942dc2552b8 in Linus' tree, based on commit
6b0b80ca7165 from [1].
In general, the full condition is sufficient, not necessary, because,
according to [2], live migration has been working for a long time without
satisfying sub-condition (2). However, after 6b0b80ca7165 was backported
to the RHEL-5 host to ensure (1), (2) still proved necessary in the RHEL-6
guest. This patch intends to provide (2) for upstream.
The Reviewed-by line comes from [3].

commit 08dff7b7d629807dbb1f398c68dd9cd58dd657a1 upstream.
When online_pages() is called to add new memory to an empty zone, it
rebuilds all zone lists by calling build_all_zonelists(). But there's a
bug which prevents the new zone to be added to other nodes' zone lists.
online_pages() {
build_all_zonelists()
.....
node_set_state(zone_to_nid(zone), N_HIGH_MEMORY)
}
Here the node of the zone is put into N_HIGH_MEMORY state after calling
build_all_zonelists(), but build_all_zonelists() only adds zones from
nodes in N_HIGH_MEMORY state to the fallback zone lists.
build_all_zonelists()
->__build_all_zonelists()
->build_zonelists()
->find_next_best_node()
->for_each_node_state(n, N_HIGH_MEMORY)
So memory in the new zone will never be used by other nodes, and it may
cause strange behavor when system is under memory pressure. So put node
into N_HIGH_MEMORY state before calling build_all_zonelists().

commit d3b9d7a9051d7024a93c76a84b2f84b3b66ad6d5 upstream.
A USB 3.0 device can transition to the Inactive state if a U1 or U2 exit
transition fails. The current code in hub_events simply issues a warm
reset, but does not call any pre-reset or post-reset driver methods (or
unbind/rebind drivers without them). Therefore the drivers won't know
their device has just been reset.
hub_events should instead call usb_reset_device. This means
hub_port_reset now needs to figure out whether it should issue a warm
reset or a hot reset.
Remove the FIXME note about needing disconnect() for a NOTATTACHED
device. This patch fixes that.

commit a24a6078754f28528bc91e7e7b3e6ae86bd936d8 upstream.
When a hot reset fails on a USB 3.0 port, the current port reset code
recursively calls hub_port_reset inside hub_port_wait_reset. This isn't
ideal, since we should avoid recursive calls in the kernel, and it also
doesn't allow us to issue multiple warm resets on reset failures.
Rip out the recursive call. Instead, add code to hub_port_reset to
issue a warm reset if the hot reset fails, and try multiple warm resets
before giving up on the port.
In hub_port_wait_reset, remove the recursive call and re-indent. The
code is basically the same, except:
1. It bails out early if the port has transitioned to Inactive or
Compliance Mode after the reset completed.
2. It doesn't consider a connect status change to be a failed reset. If
multiple warm resets needed to be issued, the connect status may have
changed, so we need to ignore that and look at the port link state
instead. hub_port_reset will now do that.
3. It unconditionally sets udev->speed on all types of successful
resets. The old recursive code would set the port speed when the second
hub_port_reset returned.
The old code did not handle connected devices needing a warm reset well.
There were only two situations that the old code handled correctly: an
empty port needing a warm reset, and a hot reset that migrated to a warm
reset.
When an empty port needed a warm reset, hub_port_reset was called with
the warm variable set. The code in hub_port_finish_reset would skip
telling the USB core and the xHC host that the device was reset, because
otherwise that would result in a NULL pointer dereference.
When a USB 3.0 device reset migrated to a warm reset, the recursive call
made the call stack look like this:
hub_port_reset(warm = false)
hub_wait_port_reset(warm = false)
hub_port_reset(warm = true)
hub_wait_port_reset(warm = true)
hub_port_finish_reset(warm = true)
(return up the call stack to the first wait)
hub_port_finish_reset(warm = false)
The old code didn't want to notify the USB core or the xHC host of device reset
twice, so it only did it in the second call to hub_port_finish_reset,
when warm was set to false. This was necessary because
before patch two ("USB: Ignore xHCI Reset Device status."), the USB core
would pay attention to the xHC Reset Device command error status, and
the second call would always fail.
Now that we no longer have the recursive call, and warm can change from
false to true in hub_port_reset, we need to have hub_port_finish_reset
unconditionally notify the USB core and the xHC of the device reset.
In hub_port_finish_reset, unconditionally clear the connect status
change (CSC) bit for USB 3.0 hubs when the port reset is done. If we
had to issue multiple warm resets for a device, that bit may have been
set if the device went into SS.Inactive and then was successfully warm
reset.

commit 2d4fa940f99663c82ba55b2244638833b388e4e2 upstream.
The next patch will refactor the hub port code to rip out the recursive
call to hub_port_reset on a failed hot reset. In preparation for that,
make sure all code paths can deal with being called with a NULL udev.
The usb_device will not be valid if warm reset was issued because a port
transitioned to the Inactive or Compliance Mode on a device connect.
This patch should have no effect on current behavior.

commit 0fe51aa5eee51db7c7ecd201d42a977ad79c58b6 upstream.
The EHCI host controller needs to prevent EHCI initialization when the
UHCI or OHCI companion controller is in the middle of a port reset. It
uses ehci_cf_port_reset_rwsem to do this. USB 3.0 hubs can't be under
an EHCI host controller, so it makes no sense to down the semaphore for
USB 3.0 hubs. It also makes the warm port reset code more complex.
Don't down ehci_cf_port_reset_rwsem for USB 3.0 hubs.

security keys
commit 8aec0f5d4137532de14e6554fd5dd201ff3a3c49 upstream.
Looking at mm/process_vm_access.c:process_vm_rw() and comparing it to
compat_process_vm_rw() shows that the compatibility code requires an
explicit "access_ok()" check before calling
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(). The same difference seems to appear when
we compare fs/read_write.c:do_readv_writev() to
fs/compat.c:compat_do_readv_writev().
This subtle difference between the compat and non-compat requirements
should probably be debated, as it seems to be error-prone. In fact,
there are two others sites that use this function in the Linux kernel,
and they both seem to get it wrong:
Now shifting our attention to fs/aio.c, we see that aio_setup_iocb()
also ends up calling compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() through
aio_setup_vectored_rw(). Unfortunately, the access_ok() check appears to
be missing. Same situation for
security/keys/compat.c:compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov().
I propose that we add the access_ok() check directly into
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), so callers don't have to worry about it,
and it therefore makes the compat call code similar to its non-compat
counterpart. Place the access_ok() check in the same location where
copy_from_user() can trigger a -EFAULT error in the non-compat code, so
the ABI behaviors are alike on both compat and non-compat.
While we are here, fix compat_do_readv_writev() so it checks for
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() negative return values.
And also, fix a memory leak in compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() error
handling.

commit 9a5467bf7b6e9e02ec9c3da4e23747c05faeaac6 upstream.
Three errors resulting in kernel memory disclosure:
1/ The structures used for the netlink based crypto algorithm report API
are located on the stack. As snprintf() does not fill the remainder of
the buffer with null bytes, those stack bytes will be disclosed to users
of the API. Switch to strncpy() to fix this.
2/ crypto_report_one() does not initialize all field of struct
crypto_user_alg. Fix this to fix the heap info leak.
3/ For the module name we should copy only as many bytes as
module_name() returns -- not as much as the destination buffer could
hold. But the current code does not and therefore copies random data
from behind the end of the module name, as the module name is always
shorter than CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.
Also switch to use strncpy() to copy the algorithm's name and
driver_name. They are strings, after all.

commit 2ca39528c01a933f6689cd6505ce65bd6d68a530 upstream.
When the new signal handlers are set up, the location of sa_restorer is
not cleared, leaking a parent process's address space location to
children. This allows for a potential bypass of the parent's ASLR by
examining the sa_restorer value returned when calling sigaction().
Based on what should be considered "secret" about addresses, it only
matters across the exec not the fork (since the VMAs haven't changed
until the exec). But since exec sets SIG_DFL and keeps sa_restorer,
this is where it should be fixed.
Given the few uses of sa_restorer, a "set" function was not written
since this would be the only use. Instead, we use
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER, as already done in other places.
Example of the leak before applying this patch:

Good job. I was too lazy to bisect for bad commit;)
Reading the code I found problematic kthread_should_stop call from netlink
connector which causes the oops. After applying a patch, I've been testing
owfs+w1 setup for nearly two days and it seems to work very reliable (no
hangs, no memleaks etc).
More detailed description and possible fix is given below:
Function w1_search can be called from either kthread or netlink callback.
While the former works fine, the latter causes oops due to kthread_should_stop
invocation.
This patch adds a check if w1_search is serving netlink command, skipping
kthread_should_stop invocation if so.

commit d13402a4a944e72612a9ec5c9190e35717c02a9d upstream.
I've managed to find an 8 port version of the card 4 port card which was discussed here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-serial&m=120760744205314&w=2
Looking back at that thread there were two issues in the original patch.
1) The I/O ports for the UARTs are within BAR2 not BAR0. This can been seen in the original post.
2) A serial quirk isn't needed as these cards have no memory in BAR0 which makes pci_plx9050_init just return.
This patch fixes the 4 port support to use BAR2, removes the bogus quirk and adds support for the 8 port card.

commit 0da9dfdd2cd9889201bc6f6f43580c99165cd087 upstream.
This fixes CVE-2013-1792.
There is a race in install_user_keyrings() that can cause a NULL pointer
dereference when called concurrently for the same user if the uid and
uid-session keyrings are not yet created. It might be possible for an
unprivileged user to trigger this by calling keyctl() from userspace in
parallel immediately after logging in.
Assume that we have two threads both executing lookup_user_key(), both
looking for KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING.
THREAD A THREAD B
=============================== ===============================
==>call install_user_keyrings();
if (!cred->user->session_keyring)
==>call install_user_keyrings()
...
user->uid_keyring = uid_keyring;
if (user->uid_keyring)
return 0;
<==
key = cred->user->session_keyring [== NULL]
user->session_keyring = session_keyring;
atomic_inc(&key->usage); [oops]
At the point thread A dereferences cred->user->session_keyring, thread B
hasn't updated user->session_keyring yet, but thread A assumes it is
populated because install_user_keyrings() returned ok.
The race window is really small but can be exploited if, for example,
thread B is interrupted or preempted after initializing uid_keyring, but
before doing setting session_keyring.
This couldn't be reproduced on a stock kernel. However, after placing
systemtap probe on 'user->session_keyring = session_keyring;' that
introduced some delay, the kernel could be crashed reliably.
Fix this by checking both pointers before deciding whether to return.
Alternatively, the test could be done away with entirely as it is checked
inside the mutex - but since the mutex is global, that may not be the best
way.

commit 8d0c2d10dd72c5292eda7a06231056a4c972e4cc upstream.
ext3_msg() takes the printk prefix as the second parameter and the
format string as the third parameter. Two callers of ext3_msg omit the
prefix and pass the format string as the second parameter and the first
parameter to the format string as the third parameter. In both cases
this string comes from an arbitrary source. Which means the string may
contain format string characters, which will
lead to undefined and potentially harmful behavior.
The issue was introduced in commit 4cf46b67eb("ext3: Unify log messages
in ext3") and is fixed by this patch.

commit ab4b71644a26d1ab92b987b2fd30e17c25e89f85 upstream.
This reverts commit 200e0d99 ("USB: storage: optimize to match the
Huawei USB storage devices and support new switch command" and the
followup bugfix commit cd060956 ("USB: storage: properly handle
the endian issues of idProduct").
The commit effectively added a large number of Huawei devices to
the deprecated usb-storage mode switching logic. Many of these
devices have been in use and supported by the userspace
usb_modeswitch utility for years. Forcing the switching inside
the kernel causes a number of regressions as a result of ignoring
existing onfigurations, and also completely takes away the ability
to configure mode switching per device/system/user.
Known regressions caused by this:
- Some of the devices support multiple modes, using different
switching commands. There are existing configurations taking
advantage of this.
- There is a real use case for disabling mode switching and
instead mounting the exposed storage device. This becomes
impossible with switching logic inside the usb-storage driver.
- At least on device fail as a result of the usb-storage switching
command, becoming completely unswitchable. This is possibly a
firmware bug, but still a regression because the device work as
expected using usb_modeswitch defaults.
In-kernel mode switching was deprecated years ago with the
development of the more user friendly userspace alternatives. The
existing list of devices in usb-storage was only kept to prevent
breaking already working systems. The long term plan is to remove
the list, not to add to it. Ref:

commit a930d8790552658140d7d0d2e316af4f0d76a512 upstream.
If you open a pipe for neither read nor write, the pipe code will not
add any usage counters to the pipe, causing the 'struct pipe_inode_info"
to be potentially released early.
That doesn't normally matter, since you cannot actually use the pipe,
but the pipe release code - particularly fasync handling - still expects
the actual pipe infrastructure to all be there. And rather than adding
NULL pointer checks, let's just disallow this case, the same way we
already do for the named pipe ("fifo") case.
This is ancient going back to pre-2.4 days, and until trinity, nobody
naver noticed.

When decnet is built as a module a simple:
echo 0.0 >/proc/sys/net/decnet/node_address
results in most of the sysctl entries under /proc/sys/net/decnet and
/proc/sys/net/decnet/conf disappearing.
For more details see http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg226123.html.
This change applies the same workaround used in
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c and net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c of creating
a skeleton of decnet sysctl entries before doing anything else.
The problem first appeared in kernel 2.6.27. The later rewrite of
sysctl in kernel 3.4 restored the previous behavior and eliminated the
need for this workaround.
This patch was heavily inspired by a similar but more complex patch by
Larry Baker.

commit db05021d49a994ee40a9735d9c3cb0060c9babb8 upstream.
The prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and
enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement:
"enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically"
This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel,
but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing
and has confused people enough to give wrong information during
presentations.
Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references
that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update
the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over
five years.
Time to bring the text up to the current decade.

commit 68d929862e29a8b52a7f2f2f86a0600423b093cd upstream.
UEFI variables are typically stored in flash. For various reasons, avaiable
space is typically not reclaimed immediately upon the deletion of a
variable - instead, the system will garbage collect during initialisation
after a reboot.
Some systems appear to handle this garbage collection extremely poorly,
failing if more than 50% of the system flash is in use. This can result in
the machine refusing to boot. The safest thing to do for the moment is to
forbid writes if they'd end up using more than half of the storage space.
We can make this more finegrained later if we come up with a method for
identifying the broken machines.

commit 81fa4e581d9283f7992a0d8c534bb141eb840a14 upstream.
[Problem]
There is a scenario which efi_pstore fails to log messages in a panic case.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock in either efivarfs parts
or efi_pstore with interrupt enabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA stops with holding the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
but it returns without logging messages.
[Patch Description]
This patch disables an external interruption while holding efivars->lock
as follows.
In efi_pstore_write() and get_var_data(), spin_lock/spin_unlock is
replaced by spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore because they may
be called in an interrupt context.
In other functions, they are replaced by spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq.
because they are all called from a process context.
By applying this patch, we can avoid the problem above with
a following senario.
- CPUA holds an efi_var->lock with interrupt disabled.
- CPUB panics and sends IPI to CPUA in smp_send_stop().
- CPUA receives the IPI after releasing the lock because it is
disabling interrupt while holding the lock.
- CPUB waits for one sec until CPUA releases the lock.
- CPUB kicks efi_pstore_write() via kmsg_dump(KSMG_DUMP_PANIC)
And it can hold the lock successfully.

commit d80a361d779a9f19498943d1ca84243209cd5647 upstream.
[Issue]
As discussed in a thread below, Running out of space in EFI isn't a well-tested scenario.
And we wouldn't expect all firmware to handle it gracefully.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134305325801789&w=2
On the other hand, current efi_pstore doesn't check a remaining space of storage at writing time.
Therefore, efi_pstore may not work if it tries to write a large amount of data.
[Patch Description]
To avoid handling the situation above, this patch checks if there is a space enough to log with
QueryVariableInfo() before writing data.

commit 64325a3be08d364a62ee8f84b2cf86934bc2544a upstream.
The root of problem is carelessly zeroing pointer(in function __tty_buffer_flush()),
when another thread can use it. It can be cause of "NULL pointer dereference".
Main idea of the patch, this is never free last (struct tty_buffer) in the active buffer.
Only flush the data for ldisc(buf->head->read = buf->head->commit).
At that moment driver can collect(write) data in buffer without conflict.
It is repeat behavior of flush_to_ldisc(), only without feeding data to ldisc.

commit f528d980c17b8714aedc918ba86e058af914d66b upstream.
When dma_ops are initialized the unity mappings are created. The
init_device_table_dma() function makes sure DMA from all devices is
blocked by default. This opens a short window in time where DMA to
unity mapped regions is blocked by the IOMMU. Make sure this does not
happen by initializing the device table after dma_ops.
Tested on 3.2.38
