[ Upstream commit 7e6d06f0 ] Currently an skb requiring TSO may not fit within a minimum-size TX queue. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Set the maximum number of TSO segments for our devices to 100. This should make no difference to behaviour unless the actual MSS is less than about 700. Increase the minimum TX queue size accordingly to allow for 2 worst-case skbs, so that there will definitely be space to add an skb after we wake a queue. To avoid invalidating existing configurations, change efx_ethtool_set_ringparam() to fix up values that are too small rather than returning -EINVAL. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 30b678d8 ] A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO. Signed-off-by:

commit 36bf50d7 upstream. This issue was recently observed on an AMD C-50 CPU where a patch of maximum size was applied. Commit be62adb4 ("x86, microcode, AMD: Simplify ucode verification") added current_size in get_matching_microcode(). This is calculated as size of the ucode patch + 8 (ie. size of the header). Later this is compared against the maximum possible ucode patch size for a CPU family. And of course this fails if the patch has already maximum size. Signed-off-by:

commit b5031ed1 upstream. When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB. The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff) our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits. By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting and we get 0xfffffffff. This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit. On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling dma_alloc_coherent_mask. This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the underlaying reason was not understood until now. The original email with the original patch is in: http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-02/msg00038.html the original thread from where the discussion started is in: http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-01/msg00928.htmlSigned-off-by:

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. Reported-by:

commit 156bddd8 upstream. Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash. Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is updated. Reported-by:

commit 9c2fc0de upstream. When a file is stored in ICB (inode), we overwrite part of the file, and the page containing file's data is not in page cache, we end up corrupting file's data by overwriting them with zeros. The problem is we use simple_write_begin() which simply zeroes parts of the page which are not written to. The problem has been introduced by be021ee4 (udf: convert to new aops). Fix the problem by providing a ->write_begin function which makes the page properly uptodate. Reported-by:

commit 14216561 upstream. This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem. SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2) if the device is in the stopped state as the result of processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND REQUIRED; mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this. The result is very confusing standby behaviour (using hdparm -y). If you suspend a drive and then send another command, usually it wakes up. However, if the next command is a TEST UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands. This means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back. If you send a command and then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive. This bit us badly because commit 85ef06d1 Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Fri Jul 1 16:17:47 2011 +0200 block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2) Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command) resulting in lots of failed commands. The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we have to work around it. The fix for this is twofold: 1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been suspended 2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.

SCSI: mpt2sas: Fix for Driver oops, when loading driver with max_queue_depth command line option to a very small value commit 338b131a upstream. If the specified max_queue_depth setting is less than the expected number of internal commands, then driver will calculate the queue depth size to a negitive number. This negitive number is actually a very large number because variable is unsigned 16bit integer. So, the driver will ask for a very large amount of memory for message frames and resulting into oops as memory allocation routines will not able to handle such a large request. So, in order to limit this kind of oops, The driver need to set the max_queue_depth to a scsi mid layer's can_queue value. Then the overall message frames required for IO is minimum of either (max_queue_depth plus internal commands) or the IOC global credits. Signed-off-by:

commit ed6fe9d6 upstream. Commit 644595f8 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice versa). Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit processes with a 64-bit kernel. On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address spaces), it can be used read kernel memory. Signed-off-by:

commit 9fb1b36c upstream. We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote() is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing for it to do. In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule() is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(), this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux(). The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers. Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that ipi_message is not just accessed locally. This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations. Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases. These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on different cores of a POWER7 machine. The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly is due to Milton Miller. Reported-by:

commit 71433285 upstream. During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value. If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management (ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value. Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread DSCR as required. This was found with the following test case, when running with more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all test cases successfully at the same time: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_explicit_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.cSigned-off-by:

commit 1021cb26 upstream. If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit. We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from the parent which ends up being much simpler.

commit 00ca0de0 upstream. When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr. We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is a period where thread.dscr is incorrect. If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with reality. This issue was found with the following testcase: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.cSigned-off-by:

commit 1b6ca2a6 upstream. Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR - we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

commit 99f347ca 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. Signed-off-by:

commit 515c7af8 upstream. Some of the arguments to {g,s}etsockopt are passed in userland pointers. If we try to use the 64bit entry point, we end up sometimes failing. For example, dhcpcd doesn't run in x32: # dhcpcd eth0 dhcpcd[1979]: version 5.5.6 starting dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: open_socket: Invalid argument dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: send_raw_packet: Bad file descriptor The code in particular is getting back EINVAL when doing: struct sock_fprog pf; setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, &pf, sizeof(pf)); Diving into the kernel code, we can see: include/linux/filter.h: struct sock_fprog { unsigned short len; struct sock_filter __user *filter; }; net/core/sock.c: case SO_ATTACH_FILTER: ret = -EINVAL; if (optlen == sizeof(struct sock_fprog)) { struct sock_fprog fprog; ret = -EFAULT; if (copy_from_user(&fprog, optval, sizeof(fprog))) break; ret = sk_attach_filter(&fprog, sk); } break; arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl: 54 common setsockopt sys_setsockopt 55 common getsockopt sys_getsockopt So for x64, sizeof(sock_fprog) is 16 bytes. For x86/x32, it's 8 bytes. This comes down to the pointer being 32bit for x32, which means we need to do structure size translation. But since x32 comes in directly to sys_setsockopt, it doesn't get translated like x86. After changing the syscall table and rebuilding glibc with the new kernel headers, dhcp runs fine in an x32 userland. Oddly, it seems like Linus noted the same thing during the initial port, but I guess that was missed/lost along the way: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/26/452 [ hpa: tagging for -stable since this is an ABI fix. ] Bugzilla: https://bugs.gentoo.org/423649Reported-by:

commit 908d6d52 upstream. It seems commit 2098e95c (regulator: twl: adapt twl-regulator driver to dt) accidentally deleted VINTANA1. Also the same commit defines VINTANA2 twice with TWL4030_ADJUSTABLE_LDO and TWL4030_FIXED_LDO. This patch changes the fixed one to be VINTANA1. I noticed this when auditing my N900 boot logs. I could not notice any change in device behaviour, though, except that the boot logs are now like before: ... [ 0.282928] VDAC: 1800 mV normal standby [ 0.284027] VCSI: 1800 mV normal standby [ 0.285400] VINTANA1: 1500 mV normal standby [ 0.286865] VINTANA2: 2750 mV normal standby [ 0.288208] VINTDIG: 1500 mV normal standby [ 0.289978] VSDI_CSI: 1800 mV normal standby ...

commit 3670e7e1 upstream. Make sure that there is no doorbell messages left behind due to disabled interrupts during inbound doorbell processing. The most common case for this bug is loss of rionet JOIN messages in systems with three or more rionet participants and MSI or MSI-X enabled. As result, requests for packet transfers may finish with "destination unreachable" error message. This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.2. Signed-off-by:

commit 8a3f0ede upstream. Buffers marked as erroneous are recycled immediately by the driver if the nodrop module parameter isn't set. The buffer payload size is reset to 0, but the buffer bytesused field isn't. This results in the buffer being immediately considered as complete, leading to an infinite loop in interrupt context. Fix the problem by resetting the bytesused field when recycling the buffer. Signed-off-by:

commit bea6832c upstream. On architectures where cputime_t is 64 bit type, is possible to trigger divide by zero on do_div(temp, (__force u32) total) line, if total is a non zero number but has lower 32 bit's zeroed. Removing casting is not a good solution since some do_div() implementations do cast to u32 internally.
