commit ac5a2962b02f57dea76d314ef2521a2170b28ab6 upstream.
There is a race between klist_remove and klist_release. klist_remove
uses a local var waiter saved on stack. When klist_release calls
wake_up_process(waiter->process) to wake up the waiter, waiter might run
immediately and reuse the stack. Then, klist_release calls
list_del(&waiter->list) to change previous
wait data and cause prior waiter thread corrupt.
The patch fixes it against kernel 3.9.

commit 6cdae7416a1c45c2ce105a78187d9b7e8feb9e24 upstream.
The iteration logic of idr_get_next() is borrowed mostly verbatim from
idr_for_each(). It walks down the tree looking for the slot matching
the current ID. If the matching slot is not found, the ID is
incremented by the distance of single slot at the given level and
repeats.
The implementation assumes that during the whole iteration id is aligned
to the layer boundaries of the level closest to the leaf, which is true
for all iterations starting from zero or an existing element and thus is
fine for idr_for_each().
However, idr_get_next() may be given any point and if the starting id
hits in the middle of a non-existent layer, increment to the next layer
will end up skipping the same offset into it. For example, an IDR with
IDs filled between [64, 127] would look like the following.
[ 0 64 ... ]
/----/ |
| |
NULL [ 64 ... 127 ]
If idr_get_next() is called with 63 as the starting point, it will try
to follow down the pointer from 0. As it is NULL, it will then try to
proceed to the next slot in the same level by adding the slot distance
at that level which is 64 - making the next try 127. It goes around the
loop and finds and returns 127 skipping [64, 126].
Note that this bug also triggers in idr_for_each_entry() loop which
deletes during iteration as deletions can make layers go away leaving
the iteration with unaligned ID into missing layers.
Fix it by ensuring proceeding to the next slot doesn't carry over the
unaligned offset - ie. use round_up(id + 1, slot_distance) instead of
id += slot_distance.

commit eedce141cd2dad8d0cefc5468ef41898949a7031 upstream.
The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and
lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from
lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from
genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in
the bitmap.
That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three
bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits
(LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then.
The same works for the lookup functions.
The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In
include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long
bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should
reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of
longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap.
However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the
amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for
example, could be allocated for 70 bits.
This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in
the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines.
This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to
set or check for a bit.
This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the
bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits
because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since
they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when
gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits.
What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO
on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab
will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct
gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are
multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of
bytes.
Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset
after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO.
So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when
rmmod'ed.

commit cbf8ae32f66a9ceb8907ad9e16663c2a29e48990 upstream.
The memory the parameter __key points to is used as an iterator in
btree_get_prev(), so if we save off a bkey() pointer in retry_key and
then assign that to __key, we'll end up corrupting the btree internals
when we do eg
longcpy(__key, bkey(geo, node, i), geo->keylen);
to return the key value. What we should do instead is use longcpy() to
copy the key value that retry_key points to __key.
This can cause a btree to get corrupted by seemingly read-only
operations such as btree_for_each_safe.

commit 7b60a18da393ed70db043a777fd9e6d5363077c4 upstream.
The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are
ordered.
Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock,
than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code
contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event.
This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum.
v2: delete sequence_lock, uevent_seqnum is protected by uevent_sock_mutex
v3: unlock the mutex before the goto exit

commit c30bc94758ae2a38a5eb31767c1985c0aae0950b upstream.
L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this:
policy:
[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, },
code:
if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT])
cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]);
As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the
conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly
reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough
and might overrun the message.
Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the
size properly.

commit 9c1f8594df4814ebfd6822ca3c9444fb3445888d upstream.
xz_dec_run() could incorrectly return XZ_BUF_ERROR if all of the
following was true:
- The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect and only provides
that much output space.
- When the last output bytes are decoded, the caller-provided input
buffer ends right before the LZMA2 end of payload marker. So LZMA2
won't provide more output anymore, but it won't know it yet and thus
won't return XZ_STREAM_END yet.
- A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any unfiltered bytes in the
temp buffer. This can happen with any BCJ filter, but in practice
it's more likely with filters other than the x86 BCJ.
This fixes <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735408> where
Squashfs thinks that a valid file system is corrupt.
This also fixes a similar bug in single-call mode where the uncompressed
size of a block using BCJ + LZMA2 was 0 bytes and caller provided no
output space. Many empty .xz files don't contain any blocks and thus
don't trigger this bug.
This also tweaks a closely related detail: xz_dec_bcj_run() could call
xz_dec_lzma2_run() to decode into temp buffer when it was known to be
useless. This was harmless although it wasted a minuscule number of CPU
cycles.

* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns())
* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns(). For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped. Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL. That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.
Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called. The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.

By default the io_tlb_nslabs is set to zero, and gets set to

The default value passed in is 64MB. However, if the user provides
the 'swiotlb=<nslabs>' the default value is ignored and
the value provided by the user is used... Except when the SWIOTLB
is used under Xen - there the default value of 64MB is used and
the Xen-SWIOTLB has no mechanism to get the 'io_tlb_nslabs' filled
out by setup_io_tlb_npages functions. This patch provides a function

for existence, so in asm-generic, do:
#ifndef find_next_zero_bit_le
extern unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr,
unsigned long size, unsigned long offset);
#endif
and in the architectures, write
static inline unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr,
unsigned long size, unsigned long offset)
#define find_next_zero_bit_le find_next_zero_bit_le
This adds the #ifndef for each of the find bitops in the generic header

On most architectures division is an expensive operation and accessing an
element currently requires four of them. This performance penalty
effectively precludes flex arrays from being used on any kind of fast
path. However, two of these divisions can be handled at creation time and
the others can be replaced by a reciprocal divide, completely avoiding
real divisions on access.

HARDIRQ_ENTER() maps to irq_enter() which calls rcu_irq_enter().
But HARDIRQ_EXIT() maps to __irq_exit() which doesn't call
rcu_irq_exit().
So for every locking selftest that simulates hardirq disabled,
we create an imbalance in the rcu extended quiescent state
internal state.
As a result, after the first missing rcu_irq_exit(), subsequent
irqs won't exit dyntick-idle mode after leaving the interrupt
handler. This means that RCU won't see the affected CPU as being
in an extended quiescent state, resulting in long grace-period
delays (as in grace periods extending for hours).
To fix this, just use __irq_enter() to simulate the hardirq
context. This is sufficient for the locking selftests as we
don't need to exit any extended quiescent state or perform
any check that irqs normally do when they wake up from idle.
As a side effect, this patch makes it possible to restore
"rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof",
which eventually helped finding this bug.

to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This
obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
already used in generic code.
It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
keeping the most inclusive wording.

DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is used in lib/cpumask.c as well as in
inlcude/linux/cpumask.h and thus it has outgrown its use within x86 and
powerpc alone. Any arch with SMP support may want to get some more
debugging, so make this option generic.

There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*()
or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways.
Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct.
Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends.
Typical code which uses them looks very simple:
TYPE val;
int rv;
rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val);
if (rv < 0)
return rv;
[use val]
return count;
There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the
latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data
into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits
into buffer.
This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x".
The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and
very bug free.

Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.
Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:
echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity
instead of:
echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list
Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.
We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist
Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.
This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass
the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting
the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch
now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now
avoided.
This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around
__show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter.
ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone()
must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use
a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

There a large number hand-coded binary searches in the kernel (run
"git grep search | grep binary" to find many of them). Since in my
experience, hand-coding binary searches can be error-prone, it seems
worth cleaning this up by providing a generic binary search function.
This generic binary search implementation comes from Ksplice. It has
the same basic API as the C library bsearch() function. Ksplice uses
it in half a dozen places with 4 different comparison functions, and I
think our code is substantially cleaner because of this.

kptr_restrict has been triggering bugs in apps such as perf, and it also makes
the system less useful by default, so turn it off by default.
This is how we generally handle security features that remove functionality,
such as firewall code or SELinux - they have to be configured and activated
from user-space.
Distributions can turn kptr_restrict on again via this line in
/etc/sysctrl.conf:
kernel.kptr_restrict = 1
( Also mark the variable __read_mostly while at it, as it's typically modified
only once per bootup, or not at all. )

The RCU CPU stall warnings can now be controlled using the
rcu_cpu_stall_suppress boot-time parameter or via the same parameter
from sysfs. There is therefore no longer any reason to have
kernel config parameters for this feature. This commit therefore
removes the RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR and RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE
kernel config parameters. The RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT parameter remains
to allow the timeout to be tuned and the RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE parameter
remains to allow task-stall information to be suppressed if desired.
