commit bd8d6dd43a77bfd2b8fef5b094b9d6095e169dee upstream.
The following patch moves the poll_aen_lock initializer from
megasas_probe_one() to megasas_init(). This prevents a crash when a user
loads the driver and tries to issue a poll() system call on the ioctl
interface with no adapters present.

commit 99f347caa4568cb803862730b3b1f1942639523f upstream.
If a device specifies zero endpoints in its interface descriptor,
the kernel oopses in acm_probe(). Even though that's clearly an
invalid descriptor, we should test wether we have all endpoints.
This is especially bad as this oops can be triggered by just
plugging a USB device in.

commit 0b68c8e2c3afaf9807eb1ebe0ccfb3b809570aa4 upstream.
Commit dbf0e4c (PCI: EHCI: fix crash during suspend on ASUS
computers) added a workaround for an ASUS suspend issue related to
USB EHCI and a bug in a number of ASUS BIOSes that attempt to shut
down the EHCI controller during system suspend if its PCI command
register doesn't contain 0 at that time.
It turns out that the same workaround is necessary in the analogous
hibernation code path, so add it.

commit e1352fde5682ab1bdd2a9e5d75c22d1fe210ef77 upstream.
ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess() and ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess()
in a loop over the received frames. The decrypt_error flag is
initialized to false
just outside ath_rx_tasklet() loop. ath9k_rx_accept(), called by
ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess(),
only sets decrypt_error to true and never to false.
Then ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess() and passes
decrypt_error to it.
So, after a decryption error, in ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess(), we can
have a leftover value
from another processed frame. In that case, the frame will not be marked with
RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED even if it is decrypted correctly.
When using CCMP encryption this issue can lead to connection stuck
because of CCMP
PN corruption and a waste of CPU time since mac80211 tries to decrypt an already
deciphered frame with ieee80211_aes_ccm_decrypt.
Fix the issue initializing decrypt_error flag at the begging of the
ath_rx_tasklet() loop.

commit e95829f474f0db3a4d940cae1423783edd966027 upstream.
The Intel desktop boards DH77EB and DH77DF have a hardware issue that
can be worked around by BIOS. If the USB ports are switched to xHCI on
shutdown, the xHCI host will send a spurious interrupt, which will wake
the system. Some BIOS will work around this, but not all.
The bug can be avoided if the USB ports are switched back to EHCI on
shutdown. The Intel Windows driver switches the ports back to EHCI, so
change the Linux xHCI driver to do the same.
Unfortunately, we can't tell the two effected boards apart from other
working motherboards, because the vendors will change the DMI strings
for the DH77EB and DH77DF boards to their own custom names. One example
is Compulab's mini-desktop, the Intense-PC. Instead, key off the
Panther Point xHCI host PCI vendor and device ID, and switch the ports
over for all PPT xHCI hosts.
The only impact this will have on non-effected boards is to add a couple
hundred milliseconds delay on boot when the BIOS has to switch the ports
over from EHCI to xHCI.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contain
the commit 69e848c2090aebba5698a1620604c7dccb448684 "Intel xhci: Support

commit 22ceac191211cf6688b1bf6ecd93c8b6bf80ed9b upstream.
The NEC/Renesas 720201 xHCI host controller does not complete its reset
within 250 milliseconds. In fact, it takes about 9 seconds to reset the

commit 5cb7df2b2d3afee7638b3ef23a5bcb89c6f07bd9 upstream.
Gary reports that with recent kernels, he notices more xHCI driver
warnings:
xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: WARN Successful completion on short TX: needs XHCI_TRUST_TX_LENGTH quirk?
We think his Etron xHCI host controller may have the same buggy behavior
as the Fresco Logic xHCI host. When a short transfer is received, the
host will mark the transfer as successfully completed when it should be
marking it with a short completion.
Fix this by turning on the XHCI_TRUST_TX_LENGTH quirk when the Etron
host is discovered. Note that Gary has revision 1, but if Etron fixes
this bug in future revisions, the quirk will have no effect.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.36, that
contain a backported version of commit
1530bbc6272d9da1e39ef8e06190d42c13a02733 "xhci: Add new short TX quirk

commit 81ee8fb6b52ec69eeed37fe7943446af1dccecc5 upstream.
It seems we can not update the crtc scanout address. After disabling
crtc, update to base address do not take effect after crtc being
reenable leading to at least frame being scanout from the old crtc
base address. Disabling crtc display request lead to same behavior.
So after changing the vram address if we don't keep crtc disabled
we will have the GPU trying to read some random system memory address
with some iommu this will broke the crtc engine and will lead to
broken display and iommu error message.
So to avoid this, disable crtc. For flicker less boot we will need
to avoid moving the vram start address.
This patch should also fix :

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.

The tamper evident features of the RTC include the "write counter" which
is a pseudo-random number regenerated whenever we set the RTC. Since this
value is unpredictable it should provide some useful seeding to the random

Only do this on boot since the goal is to seed the pool rather than add
useful entropy.

commit c2557a303ab6712bb6e09447df828c557c710ac9 upstream.
Create a new function, get_random_bytes_arch() which will use the
architecture-specific hardware random number generator if it is
present. Change get_random_bytes() to not use the HW RNG, even if it
is avaiable.
The reason for this is that the hw random number generator is fast (if
it is present), but it requires that we trust the hardware
manufacturer to have not put in a back door. (For example, an
increasing counter encrypted by an AES key known to the NSA.)
It's unlikely that Intel (for example) was paid off by the US
Government to do this, but it's impossible for them to prove otherwise
--- especially since Bull Mountain is documented to use AES as a
whitener. Hence, the output of an evil, trojan-horse version of
RDRAND is statistically indistinguishable from an RDRAND implemented
to the specifications claimed by Intel. Short of using a tunnelling
electronic microscope to reverse engineer an Ivy Bridge chip and
disassembling and analyzing the CPU microcode, there's no way for us
to tell for sure.
Since users of get_random_bytes() in the Linux kernel need to be able
to support hardware systems where the HW RNG is not present, most
time-sensitive users of this interface have already created their own
cryptographic RNG interface which uses get_random_bytes() as a seed.
So it's much better to use the HW RNG to improve the existing random
number generator, by mixing in any entropy returned by the HW RNG into
/dev/random's entropy pool, but to always _use_ /dev/random's entropy
pool.
This way we get almost of the benefits of the HW RNG without any
potential liabilities. The only benefits we forgo is the
speed/performance enhancements --- and generic kernel code can't
depend on depend on get_random_bytes() having the speed of a HW RNG
anyway.
For those places that really want access to the arch-specific HW RNG,
if it is available, we provide get_random_bytes_arch().

commit e6d4947b12e8ad947add1032dd754803c6004824 upstream.
If the CPU supports a hardware random number generator, use it in
xfer_secondary_pool(), where it will significantly improve things and
where we can afford it.
Also, remove the use of the arch-specific rng in
add_timer_randomness(), since the call is significantly slower than
get_cycles(), and we're much better off using it in
xfer_secondary_pool() anyway.

commit a2080a67abe9e314f9e9c2cc3a4a176e8a8f8793 upstream.
Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the
random pool that is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly
even per boot). This would be things like MAC addresses or serial
numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual
entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values
for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little
entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).
[ Modified by tytso to mix in a timestamp, since there may be some
variability caused by the time needed to detect/configure the hardware
in question. ]

commit 902c098a3663de3fa18639efbb71b6080f0bcd3c upstream.
The real-time Linux folks don't like add_interrupt_randomness() taking
a spinlock since it is called in the low-level interrupt routine.
This also allows us to reduce the overhead in the fast path, for the
random driver, which is the interrupt collection path.

commit 775f4b297b780601e61787b766f306ed3e1d23eb upstream.
We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various
reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the
CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy
from a somewhat externally controllable source.
This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition
to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first.
During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu
pool. Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is
initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool. This
assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as
possible.
(Based on an original patch by Linus, but significantly modified by
tytso.)

commit 44e4360fa3384850d65dd36fb4e6e5f2f112709b upstream.
/proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id can be read concurrently by userspace
processes. If two (or more) user-space processes concurrently read
boot_id when sysctl_bootid is not yet assigned, a race can occur making
boot_id differ between the reads. Because the whole point of the boot id
is to be unique across a kernel execution, fix this by protecting this
operation with a spinlock.
Given that this operation is not frequently used, hitting the spinlock
on each call should not be an issue.

commit 2dac8e54f988ab58525505d7ef982493374433c3 upstream.
When we are initializing using arch_get_random_long() we only need to
loop enough times to touch all the bytes in the buffer; using
poolwords for that does twice the number of operations necessary on a
64-bit machine, since in the random number generator code "word" means
32 bits.

commit 3e88bdff1c65145f7ba297ccec69c774afe4c785 upstream.
If there is an architecture-specific random number generator (such as
RDRAND for Intel architectures), use it to initialize /dev/random's
entropy stores. Even in the worst case, if RDRAND is something like
AES(NSA_KEY, counter++), it won't hurt, and it will definitely help
against any other adversaries.

commit cf833d0b9937874b50ef2867c4e8badfd64948ce upstream.
We still don't use rdrand in /dev/random, which just seems stupid. We
accept the *cycle*counter* as a random input, but we don't accept
rdrand? That's just broken.
Sure, people can do things in user space (write to /dev/random, use
rdrand in addition to /dev/random themselves etc etc), but that
*still* seems to be a particularly stupid reason for saying "we
shouldn't bother to try to do better in /dev/random".
And even if somebody really doesn't trust rdrand as a source of random
bytes, it seems singularly stupid to trust the cycle counter *more*.
So I'd suggest the attached patch. I'm not going to even bother
arguing that we should add more bits to the entropy estimate, because
that's not the point - I don't care if /dev/random fills up slowly or
not, I think it's just stupid to not use the bits we can get from
rdrand and mix them into the strong randomness pool.

commit 63d77173266c1791f1553e9e8ccea65dc87c4485 upstream.
Add support for architecture-specific hooks into the kernel-directed
random number generator interfaces. This patchset does not use the
architecture random number generator interfaces for the
userspace-directed interfaces (/dev/random and /dev/urandom), thus
eliminating the need to distinguish between them based on a pool
pointer.
Changes in version 3:
- Moved the hooks from extract_entropy() to get_random_bytes().
- Changes the hooks to inlines.

commit 6c4088ac3a4d82779903433bcd5f048c58fb1aca upstream.
efi_setup_pcdp_console() is called during boot to parse the HCDP/PCDP
EFI system table and setup an early console for printk output. The
routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup access to the HCDP/PCDP table
information.
The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads
to a panic on x86_64 systems:
panic+0x01ca
do_exit+0x043c
oops_end+0x00a7
no_context+0x0119
__bad_area_nosemaphore+0x0138

setup_arch+0x03a9
start_kernel+0x00d4
x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c

This replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console()
with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during
early boot.
This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses the
HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup.

commit a119365586b0130dfea06457f584953e0ff6481d upstream.
The following build error occured during a ia64 build with
swap-over-NFS patches applied.
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: (near initialization for 'memalloc_socks')
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant
This is identical to a parisc build error. Fengguang Wu, Mel Gorman
and James Bottomley did all the legwork to track the root cause of
the problem. This fix and entire commit log is shamelessly copied
from them with one extra detail to change a dubious runtime use of
ATOMIC_INIT() to atomic_set() in drivers/char/mspec.c
Dave Anglin says:
> Here is the line in sock.i:
>
> struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
> ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });
The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a
constant expression.
The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

commit 141168c36cdee3ff23d9c7700b0edc47cb65479f and
commit 3f806e50981825fa56a7f1938f24c0680816be45 upstream.
Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the
!SMP case, likely to save space. However, those fields still
have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef
removal from other files. The additional size of the UP kernel
from this change is not significant enough to worry about
keeping up the distinction:
text data bss dec hex filename
4737168 506459 972040 6215667 5ed7f3 vmlinux.o.before
4737444 506459 972040 6215943 5ed907 vmlinux.o.after
for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.
If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should
be implemented in a cleaner way.
