commit c5128654 upstream. The driver wasn't reading the NVM properly. While this didn't lead to any issue until now, it seems that there is an old version of the NVM in the wild. In this version, the A band channels appear to be valid but the SKU capabilities (another field of the NVM) says that A band isn't supported at all. With this specific version of the NVM, the driver would think that A band is supported while the HW / firmware don't. This leads to asserts. Reviewed-by:

commit 1f802f82 upstream. This reverts commit e120cc0d. It causes a NULL pointer dereference with drivers using the generic spi_transfer_one_message(), which always calls spi_finalize_current_message(), which zeroes master->cur_msg. Drivers implementing transfer_one_message() theirselves must always call spi_finalize_current_message(), even if the transfer failed: * @transfer_one_message: the subsystem calls the driver to transfer a single * message while queuing transfers that arrive in the meantime. When the * driver is finished with this message, it must call * spi_finalize_current_message() so the subsystem can issue the next * transfer Signed-off-by:

commit 8d7f6690 upstream. The kernel currently crashes with a low-address-protection exception if a user space process executes an instruction that tries to use the linkage stack. Set the base-ASTE origin and the subspace-ASTE origin of the dispatchable-unit-control-table to point to a dummy ASTE. Set up control register 15 to point to an empty linkage stack with no room left. A user space process with a linkage stack instruction will still crash but with a different exception which is correctly translated to a segmentation fault instead of a kernel oops. Signed-off-by:

commit d7736ff5 upstream. Dumps created by kdump or zfcpdump can contain invalid memory holes when dumping z/VM systems that have memory pressure. For example: # zgetdump -i /proc/vmcore. Memory map: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000bfffff (12 MB) 0000000000e00000 - 00000000014fffff (7 MB) 000000000bd00000 - 00000000f3bfffff (3711 MB) The memory detection function find_memory_chunks() issues tprot to find valid memory chunks. In case of CMM it can happen that pages are marked as unstable via set_page_unstable() in arch_free_page(). If z/VM has released that pages, tprot returns -EFAULT and indicates a memory hole. So fix this and switch off CMM in case of kdump or zfcpdump. Signed-off-by:

commit 2fa4cb90 upstream. sta_rc_update() callback must be atomic, hence we can not take mutexes or do other operations, which can sleep in ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(). I think we can just return from ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(), if it is called without IEEE80211_RC_SUPP_RATES_CHANGED bit. That will help with scheduling while atomic bug for most cases (except mesh and IBSS modes). For mesh and IBSS I do not see other solution like creating additional workqueue, because sending firmware command require us to sleep, but this can be done in additional patch.

commit 338f977f upstream. The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

commit 2f617435 upstream. ieee80211_start_roc_work() might add a new roc to existing roc, and tell cfg80211 it has already started. However, this might happen before the roc cookie was set, resulting in REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL (started) event with null cookie. Consequently, it can make wpa_supplicant go out of sync. Fix it by setting the roc cookie earlier. Signed-off-by:

commit 83e3bc23 upstream. The get/set ACL xattr support for CIFS ACLs attempts to send old cifs dialect protocol requests even when mounted with SMB2 or later dialects. Sending cifs requests on an smb2 session causes problems - the server drops the session due to the illegal request. This patch makes CIFS ACL operations protocol specific to fix that. Attempting to query/set CIFS ACLs for SMB2 will now return EOPNOTSUPP (until we add worker routines for sending query ACL requests via SMB2) instead of sending invalid (cifs) requests. A separate followon patch will be needed to fix cifs_acl_to_fattr (which takes a cifs specific u16 fid so can't be abstracted to work with SMB2 until that is changed) and will be needed to fix mount problems when "cifsacl" is specified on mount with e.g. vers=2.1 Signed-off-by:

commit d979f3b0 upstream. Changeset 666753c3 added protocol operations for get/setxattr to avoid calling cifs operations on smb2/smb3 mounts for xattr operations and this changeset adds the calls to cifs specific protocol operations for xattrs (in order to reenable cifs support for xattrs which was temporarily disabled by the previous changeset. We do not have SMB2/SMB3 worker function for setting xattrs yet so this only enables it for cifs. CCing stable since without these two small changsets (its small coreq 666753c3 is also needed) calling getfattr/setfattr on smb2/smb3 mounts causes problems. Signed-off-by:

commit 666753c3 upstream. When mounting with smb2 (or smb2.1 or smb3) we need to check to make sure that attempts to query or set extended attributes do not attempt to send the request with the older cifs protocol instead (eventually we also need to add the support in SMB2 to query/set extended attributes but this patch prevents us from using the wrong protocol for extended attribute operations).

commit 8d547ff4 upstream. mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail page. This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e4 ("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page. When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes little sense. This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid testing. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/&&/&/] Signed-off-by:

commit 96c7a2ff upstream. Recently due to a spike in connections per second memcached on 3 separate boxes triggered the OOM killer from accept. At the time the OOM killer was triggered there was 4GB out of 36GB free in zone 1. The problem was that alloc_fdtable was allocating an order 3 page (32KiB) to hold a bitmap, and there was sufficient fragmentation that the largest page available was 8KiB. I find the logic that PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER can't fail pretty dubious but I do agree that order 3 allocations are very likely to succeed. There are always pathologies where order > 0 allocations can fail when there are copious amounts of free memory available. Using the pigeon hole principle it is easy to show that it requires 1 page more than 50% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 1 (8KiB) allocation will succeed, 1 page more than 75% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 2 (16KiB) allocation will succeed and 1 page more than 87.5% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 3 allocate will succeed. A server churning memory with a lot of small requests and replies like memcached is a common case that if anything can will skew the odds against large pages being available. Therefore let's not give external applications a practical way to kill linux server applications, and specify __GFP_NORETRY to the kmalloc in alloc_fdmem. Unless I am misreading the code and by the time the code reaches should_alloc_retry in __alloc_pages_slowpath (where __GFP_NORETRY becomes signification). We have already tried everything reasonable to allocate a page and the only thing left to do is wait. So not waiting and falling back to vmalloc immediately seems like the reasonable thing to do even if there wasn't a chance of triggering the OOM killer. Signed-off-by:

commit 7cde9b27 upstream. Due to the way kernel is initialized under Xen is possible that the ring1 selector used by the kernel for the boot cpu end up to be copied to userspace leading to segmentation fault in the userspace. Xen code in the kernel initialize no-boot cpus with correct selectors (ds and es set to __USER_DS) but the boot one keep the ring1 (passed by Xen). On task context switch (switch_to) we assume that ds, es and cs already point to __USER_DS and __KERNEL_CSso these selector are not changed. If processor is an Intel that support sysenter instruction sysenter/sysexit is used so ds and es are not restored switching back from kernel to userspace. In the case the selectors point to a ring1 instead of __USER_DS the userspace code will crash on first memory access attempt (to be precise Xen on the emulated iret used to do sysexit will detect and set ds and es to zero which lead to GPF anyway). Now if an userspace process call kernel using sysenter and get rescheduled (for me it happen on a specific init calling wait4) could happen that the ring1 selector is set to ds and es. This is quite hard to detect cause after a while these selectors are fixed (__USER_DS seems sticky). Bisecting the code commit 7076aada appears to be the first one that have this issue.

commit 0160676b upstream. On hosts with more than 168 GB of memory, a 32-bit guest may attempt to grant map an MFN that is error cannot lookup in its mapping of the m2p table. There is an m2p lookup as part of m2p_add_override() and m2p_remove_override(). The lookup falls off the end of the mapped portion of the m2p and (because the mapping is at the highest virtual address) wraps around and the lookup causes a fault on what appears to be a user space address. do_page_fault() (thinking it's a fault to a userspace address), tries to lock mm->mmap_sem. If the gntdev device is used for the grant map, m2p_add_override() is called from from gnttab_mmap() with mm->mmap_sem already locked. do_page_fault() then deadlocks. The deadlock would most commonly occur when a 64-bit guest is started and xenconsoled attempts to grant map its console ring. Introduce mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() which checks the MFN is within the mapped portion of the m2p table before accessing the table and use this in m2p_add_override(), m2p_remove_override(), and mfn_to_pfn() (which already had the correct range check). All faults caused by accessing the non-existant parts of the m2p are thus within the kernel address space and exception_fixup() is called without trying to lock mm->mmap_sem. This means that for MFNs that are outside the mapped range of the m2p then mfn_to_pfn() will always look in the m2p overrides. This is correct because it must be a foreign MFN (and the PFN in the m2p in this case is only relevant for the other domain). v3: check for auto_translated_physmap in mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() v2: in mfn_to_pfn() look in m2p_overrides if the MFN is out of range as it's probably foreign.

Based on c8721bbb upstream, but only the bugfix portion pulled out. Hi Naoya or Greg, We found a bug in 3.10.x. The problem is that we accidentally have a hwpoisoned hugepage in free hugepage list. It could happend in the the following scenario: process A process B migrate_huge_page put_page (old hugepage) linked to free hugepage list hugetlb_fault hugetlb_no_page alloc_huge_page dequeue_huge_page_vma dequeue_huge_page_node (steal hwpoisoned hugepage) set_page_hwpoison_huge_page dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page (fail to dequeue) I tested this bug, one process keeps allocating huge page, and I use sysfs interface to soft offline a huge page, then received: "MCE: Killing UCP:2717 due to hardware memory corruption fault at 8200034" Upstream kernel is free from this bug because of these two commits: f15bdfa8 mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak in successful soft offlining c8721bbb mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage The first one, although the problem is about memory leak, this patch moves unset_migratetype_isolate(), which is important to avoid the race. The latter is not a bug fix and it's too big, so I rewrite a small one. The following patch can fix this bug.(please apply f15bdfa8 first) Signed-off-by:

commit 603e7729 upstream. qib_user_sdma_queue_pkts() gets called with mmap_sem held for writing. Except for get_user_pages() deep down in qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() we don't seem to need mmap_sem at all. Even more interestingly the function qib_user_sdma_queue_pkts() (and also qib_user_sdma_coalesce() called somewhat later) call copy_from_user() which can hit a page fault and we deadlock on trying to get mmap_sem when handling that fault. So just make qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() use get_user_pages_fast() and leave mmap_sem locking for mm. This deadlock has actually been observed in the wild when the node is under memory pressure.

commit f15bdfa8 upstream. After a successful page migration by soft offlining, the source page is not properly freed and it's never reusable even if we unpoison it afterward. This is caused by the race between freeing page and setting PG_hwpoison. In successful soft offlining, the source page is put (and the refcount becomes 0) by putback_lru_page() in unmap_and_move(), where it's linked to pagevec and actual freeing back to buddy is delayed. So if PG_hwpoison is set for the page before freeing, the freeing does not functions as expected (in such case freeing aborts in free_pages_prepare() check.) This patch tries to make sure to free the source page before setting PG_hwpoison on it. To avoid reallocating, the page keeps MIGRATE_ISOLATE until after setting PG_hwpoison. This patch also removes obsolete comments about "keeping elevated refcount" because what they say is not true. Unlike memory_failure(), soft_offline_page() uses no special page isolation code, and the soft-offlined pages have no elevated. Signed-off-by:

commit f17248ed upstream. Due to an assumption in the VT8500 pinctrl driver, the value passed from devicetree for 'wm,pull' was not explicitly translated before being passed to pinconf. Since v3.10, changes to 'enum pin_config_param', PIN_CONFIG_BIAS_PULL_(UP/DOWN) no longer map 1-to-1 with the expected values in devicetree.

commit 6583327c upstream. Commit d61931d8, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot. The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when using ad hoc calling conventions. It is therefore best to treat any file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis, since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions. This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage profiling. Reported-by:

The patch addresses the problem. Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 . It measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed. The expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count. The number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max of 512. To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected within that section. iteration 1, random number between 0-64 iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc This is still a very weak methodology. When you do not know what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges and an even spread is not representative of any workload that matters. To improve this, we'd need to know the probability distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed that into this benchmark. Even that is not perfect because it would not account for the time between flushes but there are limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing something useful. If a representative synthetic trace is provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive. They showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering with the test results recently. Network benchmarks were inconclusive. Almost all results were flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine. These results were unstable and showed large variations between reboots. It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary. Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems like a logical choice.

During aio buffer migration, we have a possibility to see the following call stack. aio_migratepage [disable interrupt] migrate_page_copy clear_page_dirty_for_io set_page_dirty __set_page_dirty_buffers __set_page_dirty spin_lock_irq This mean, current aio migration is a deadlockable. spin_lock_irqsave is a safer alternative and we should use it.

commit a85d9df1 upstream. During aio stress test, we observed the following lockdep warning. This mean AIO+numa_balancing is currently deadlockable. The problem is, aio_migratepage disable interrupt, but __set_page_dirty_nobuffers unintentionally enable it again. Generally, all helper function should use spin_lock_irqsave() instead of spin_lock_irq() because they don't know caller at all. other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&(&ctx->completion_lock)->rlock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&ctx->completion_lock)->rlock); *** DEADLOCK *** dump_stack+0x19/0x1b print_usage_bug+0x1f7/0x208 mark_lock+0x21d/0x2a0 mark_held_locks+0xb9/0x140 trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x105/0x1d0 trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x2c/0x50 __set_page_dirty_nobuffers+0x8c/0xf0 migrate_page_copy+0x434/0x540 aio_migratepage+0xb1/0x140 move_to_new_page+0x7d/0x230 migrate_pages+0x5e5/0x700 migrate_misplaced_page+0xbc/0xf0 do_numa_page+0x102/0x190 handle_pte_fault+0x241/0x970 handle_mm_fault+0x265/0x370 __do_page_fault+0x172/0x5a0 do_page_fault+0x1a/0x70 page_fault+0x28/0x30 Signed-off-by:

commit c20f31ec upstream. Mac Pro 1,1 with ALC889A codec needs the VREF setup on NID 0x18 to VREF50, in order to make the speaker working. The same fixup was already needed for MacBook Air 1,1, so we can reuse it. Reported-by:

commit 5044bad4 upstream. Add DSB after icache flush to complete the cache maintenance operation. The function __flush_icache_all() is used only for user space mappings and an ISB is not required because of an exception return before executing user instructions. An exception return would behave like an ISB. Signed-off-by:

commit 069b9186 upstream. When __kernel_clock_gettime is called with a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE clock id, it returns incorrectly to whatever the caller has placed in x2 ("ret x2" to return from the fast path). Fix this by saving x30/LR to x2 only in code that will call __do_get_tspec, restoring x30 afterward, and using a plain "ret" to return from the routine. Also: while the resulting tv_nsec value for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC must be computed using intermediate values that are left-shifted by cs_shift (x12, set by __do_get_tspec), the results for coarse clocks should be calculated using unshifted values (xtime_coarse_nsec is in units of actual nanoseconds). The current code shifts intermediate values by x12 unconditionally, but x12 is uninitialized when servicing a coarse clock. Fix this by setting x12 to 0 once we know we are dealing with a coarse clock id. Signed-off-by:

commit a55f9929 upstream. With the 64K page size configuration, __create_page_tables in head.S maps enough memory to get started but using 64K pages rather than 512M sections with a single pgd/pud/pmd entry pointing to a pte table. create_mapping() may override the pgd/pud/pmd table entry with a block (section) one if the RAM size is more than 512MB and aligned correctly. For the end of this block to be accessible, the old TLB entry must be invalidated. Reported-by:

commit 40507403 upstream. Whilst the text segment for our VDSO is marked as PT_LOAD in the ELF headers, it is mapped by the kernel and not actually subject to demand-paging. ld doesn't realise this, and emits a p_align field of 64k (the maximum supported page size), which conflicts with the load address picked by the kernel on 4k systems, which will be 4k aligned. This causes GDB to fail with "Failed to read a valid object file image from memory" when attempting to load the VDSO. This patch passes the -n option to ld, which prevents it from aligning PT_LOAD segments to the maximum page size. Reported-by:

commit a6f089e9 upstream. In the Armada 370/XP driver, when we receive an IRQ 0, we read the list of doorbells that caused the interrupt from register ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS. This gives the list of IPIs that were generated. However, instead of acknowledging only the IPIs that were generated, we acknowledge *all* the IPIs, by writing ~IPI_DOORBELL_MASK in the ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS register. This creates a race condition: if a new IPI that isn't part of the ones read into the temporary "ipimask" variable is fired before we acknowledge all IPIs, then we will simply loose it. This is causing scheduling hangs on SMP intensive workloads. It is important to mention that this ARMADA_370_XP_IN_DRBEL_CAUSE_OFFS register has the following behavior: "A CPU write of 0 clears the bits in this field. A CPU write of 1 has no effect". This is what allows us to simply write ~ipimask to acknoledge the handled IPIs. Notice that the same problem is present in the MSI implementation, but it will be fixed as a separate patch, so that this IPI fix can be pushed to older stable versions as appropriate (all the way to 3.8), while the MSI code only appeared in 3.13.

commit ee97dc7d upstream. In s390 des and 3des ctr mode there is one preallocated page used to speed up the en/decryption. This page is not protected against concurrent usage and thus there is a potential of data corruption with multiple threads. The fix introduces locking/unlocking the ctr page and a slower fallback solution at concurrency situations. Signed-off-by:

commit adc3fcf1 upstream. In s390 des and des3_ede cbc mode the iv value is not protected against concurrency access and modifications from another running en/decrypt operation which is using the very same tfm struct instance. This fix copies the iv to the local stack before the crypto operation and stores the value back when done. Signed-off-by:
