commit 340f0ba1 upstream. alloc_init_lock_stateowner can return an already freed entry if there is a race to put openowners in the hashtable. Noticed by inspection after Jeff Layton fixed the same bug for open owners. Depending on client behavior, this one may be trickier to trigger in practice.

commit c5952338 upstream. alloc_init_open_stateowner can return an already freed entry if there is a race to put openowners in the hashtable. In commit 7ffb5880, we changed it so that we allocate and initialize an openowner, and then check to see if a matching one got stuffed into the hashtable in the meantime. If it did, then we free the one we just allocated and take a reference on the one already there. There is a bug here though. The code will then return the pointer to the one that was allocated (and has now been freed). This wasn't evident before as this race almost never occurred. The Linux kernel client used to serialize requests for a single openowner. That has changed now with v4.0 kernels, and this race can now easily occur.

commit 3c56b3a1 upstream. Commit 25b884a8 ("x86/xen: set regions above the end of RAM as 1:1") introduced a regression. To be able to add memory pages which were added via memory hotplug to a pv domain, the pages must be "invalid" instead of "identity" in the p2m list before they can be added. Suggested-by:

commit 633d6f17 upstream. Commit 054954eb ("xen: switch to linear virtual mapped sparse p2m list") introduced a regression regarding to memory hotplug for a pv-domain: as the virtual space for the p2m list is allocated for the to be expected memory size of the domain only, hotplugged memory above that size will not be usable by the domain. Correct this by using a configurable size for the p2m list in case of memory hotplug enabled (default supported memory size is 512 GB for 64 bit domains and 4 GB for 32 bit domains). Signed-off-by:

commit 9c8928f5 upstream. The assumption before this patch was that we don't need to run again the INIT firmware after the system booted. The INIT firmware runs calibrations which impact the physical layer's behavior. Users reported that it may be helpful to run these calibrations again every time the interface is brought up. The penatly is minimal, since the calibrations run fast. This fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94341Signed-off-by:

commit 8494057a upstream. Properly verify that the resulting page aligned end address is larger than both the start address and the length of the memory area requested. Both the start and length arguments for ib_umem_get are controlled by the user. A misbehaving user can provide values which will cause an integer overflow when calculating the page aligned end address. This overflow can cause also miscalculation of the number of pages mapped, and additional logic issues. Addresses: CVE-2014-8159 Signed-off-by:

commit 1365aa62 upstream. This patch fixes a bug in the initialization of the pipelines. The init_pipelines() function was called with a constant value of 0 in the first_pipe argument. This is an error because amdkfd doesn't handle pipe 0. The correct way is to pass the value that get_first_pipe() returns as the argument for first_pipe. This bug appeared in 3.19 (first version with amdkfd) and it causes around 15% drop in CPU performance of Kaveri (A10-7850). v2: Don't set get_first_pipe() as inline because it calls BUG_ON() Signed-off-by:

commit 8218c3f4 upstream. Originally it was impossible to be dropping the last refcount in this function since there was always one around still from the idr. But in commit 83f45fc3 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Wed Aug 6 09:10:18 2014 +0200 drm: Don't grab an fb reference for the idr we've switched to weak references, broke that assumption but forgot to fix it up. Since we still force-disable planes it's only possible to hit this when racing multiple rmfb with fbdev restoring or similar evil things. As long as userspace is nice it's impossible to hit the BUG_ON. But the BUG_ON would most likely be hit from fbdev code, which usually invovles the console_lock besides all modeset locks. So very likely we'd never get the bug reports if this was hit in the wild, hence better be safe than sorry and backport. Spotted by Matt Roper while reviewing other patches.

commit e9637415 upstream. Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c8 ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n") caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked devices (e.g. DM). Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching blk_stack_limits() over to using it. DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits using blk_stack_limits(). In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt) blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0. With commit 69c953c8, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of the underlying devices' io_opt.

commit bc188d81 upstream. When allocating from the reserved tags pool, bt_get() is called with a NULL hctx. If all tags are in use, the hw queue is kicked to push out any pending IO, potentially freeing tags, and tag allocation is retried. The problem is that blk_mq_run_hw_queue() doesn't check for a NULL hctx. So we avoid it with a simple NULL hctx test. Tested by hammering mtip32xx with concurrent smartctl/hdparm. Signed-off-by:

commit fdc0074c upstream. As the sunxi usb clocks all contain a reset controller, it is not possible to build the sunxi clock driver without RESET_CONTROLLER enabled.

commit e4140819 upstream. A malicious signal handler / restorer can DOS the system by fudging the user regs saved on stack, causing weird things such as sigreturn returning to user mode PC but cpu state still being kernel mode....

commit 6914e1e3 upstream. The regfile provided to SA_SIGINFO signal handler as ucontext was off by one due to pt_regs gutter cleanups in 2013. Before handling signal, user pt_regs are copied onto user_regs_struct and copied back later. Both structs are binary compatible. This was all fine until commit 2fa91904 (ARC: pt_regs update #2) which removed the empty stack slot at top of pt_regs (corresponding to first pad) and made the corresponding fixup in struct user_regs_struct (the pad in there was moved out of @scratch - not removed altogether as it is part of ptrace ABI) struct user_regs_struct { + long pad; struct { - long pad; long bta, lp_start, lp_end,.... } scratch; ... } This meant that now user_regs_struct was off by 1 reg w.r.t pt_regs and signal code needs to user_regs_struct.scratch to reflect it as pt_regs, which is what this commit does. This problem was hidden for 2 years, because both save/restore, despite using wrong location, were using the same location. Only an interim inspection (reproducer below) exposed the issue. void handle_segv(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context) { ucontext_t *uc = context; struct user_regs_struct *regs = &(uc->uc_mcontext.regs); printf("regs %x %x\n", <=== prints 7 8 (vs. 8 9) regs->scratch.r8, regs->scratch.r9); } int main() { struct sigaction sa; sa.sa_sigaction = handle_segv; sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO; sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask); sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL); asm volatile( "mov r7, 7 \n" "mov r8, 8 \n" "mov r9, 9 \n" "mov r10, 10 \n" :::"r7","r8","r9","r10"); *((unsigned int*)0x10) = 0; } Fixes: 2fa91904 "ARC: pt_regs update #2: Remove unused gutter at start of pt_regs" Signed-off-by:

I don't think this is the best fix, because we can boot plain Linux (no Xen) with "acpi=off", and we don't need this check in pci_get_hp_params(). There should be a better fix that would make Xen domU work the same way. The domU kernel has ACPI support but it has no AML. There should be a way to initialize the ACPI data structures so things fail gracefully rather than oopsing. This is an interim fix to address the regression.

commit a1b7f2f6 upstream. Commit fab4c256 ("PCI/AER: Add a TLP header print helper") introduced the helper function __print_tlp_header(), but contrary to the intention, the behaviour did change: Since we're taking the address of the parameter t, the first 4 or 8 bytes printed will be the value of the pointer t itself, and the remaining 12 or 8 bytes will be who-knows-what (something from the stack). We want to show the values of the four members of the struct aer_header_log_regs; that can be done without ugly and error-prone casts. On little-endian this should produce the same output as originally intended, and since no-one has complained about getting garbage output so far, I think big-endian should be ok too.

commit cc7016ab upstream. Some BIOS version of Fujitsu Lifebook T731 seems to set up the headphone pin (0x21) without the assoc number 0x0f while it's set only to the output on the docking port (0x1a). With the recent commit [03ad6a8c: ALSA: hda - Fix "PCM" name being used on one DAC when there are two DACs], this resulted in the weird mixer element mapping where the headphone on the laptop is assigned as a shared volume with the speaker and the docking port is assigned as an individual headphone.

commit 87f966d9 upstream. On a MIPS Malta board, tons of fifo underflow errors have been observed when using u-boot as bootloader instead of YAMON. The reason for that is that YAMON used to set the pcnet device to SRAM mode but u-boot does not. As a result, the default Tx threshold (64 bytes) is now too small to keep the fifo relatively used and it can result to Tx fifo underflow errors. As a result of which, it's best to setup the SRAM on supported controllers so we can always use the NOUFLO bit.
