commit 0ee364eb upstream. A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads /proc/kcore: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370 [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0 [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0 [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.

commit cb214ede upstream. When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel, there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss. The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default setting. This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or "nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system without requiring manual workarounds. The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table. As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec, chapter 2.9. Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode enabled: When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL: 1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical or xapic phys driver at first. 2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode. 3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe() will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode. Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check FADT PHYSICAL. Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the problem. Signed-off-by:

commit e575a86f upstream. Without this patch, it is trivial to determine kernel page mappings by examining the error code reported to dmesg[1]. Instead, declare the entire kernel memory space as a violation of a present page. Additionally, since show_unhandled_signals is enabled by default, switch branch hinting to the more realistic expectation, and unobfuscate the setting of the PF_PROT bit to improve readability.

commit d911e03d upstream. Since ed4f2094 "s390/time: fix sched_clock() overflow" a new helper function is used to avoid overflows when converting TOD format values to nanosecond values. The kvm interrupt code formerly however only worked by accident because of an overflow. It tried to program a timer that would expire in more than ~29 years. Because of the old TOD-to-nanoseconds overflow bug the real expiry value however was much smaller, but now it isn't anymore. This however triggers yet another bug in the function that programs the clock comparator s390_next_ktime(): if the absolute "expires" value is after 2042 this will result in an overflow and the programmed value is lower than the current TOD value which immediatly triggers a clock comparator (= timer) interrupt. Since the timer isn't expired it will be programmed immediately again and so on... the result is a dead system. To fix this simply program the maximum possible value if an overflow is detected.

[ Upstream commit 6731d209 ] There are transients during normal FRTO procedure during which the packets_in_flight can go to zero between write_queue state updates and firing the resulting segments out. As FRTO processing occurs during that window the check must be more precise to not match "spuriously" :-). More specificly, e.g., when packets_in_flight is zero but FLAG_DATA_ACKED is true the problematic branch that set cwnd into zero would not be taken and new segments might be sent out later.

[ Upstream commit 48856286 ] A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback. If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be penalised. As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period. Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown afterwards. This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2f94aabd ] Jamie Parsons reported a problem recently, in which the re-initalization of an association (The duplicate init case), resulted in a loss of receive window space. He tracked down the root cause to sctp_outq_teardown, which discarded all the data on an outq during a re-initalization of the corresponding association, but never reset the outq->outstanding_data field to zero. I wrote, and he tested this fix, which does a proper full re-initalization of the outq, fixing this problem, and hopefully future proofing us from simmilar issues down the road. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 9665d5d6 ] When releasing a packet socket, the routine packet_set_ring() is reused to free rings instead of allocating them. But when calling it for the first time, it fills req->tp_block_nr with the value of rb->pg_vec_len which in the second invocation makes it bail out since req->tp_block_nr is greater zero but req->tp_block_size is zero. This patch solves the problem by passing a zeroed auto-variable to packet_set_ring() upon each invocation from packet_release(). As far as I can tell, this issue exists even since 69e3c75f (net: TX_RING and packet mmap), i.e. the original inclusion of TX ring support into af_packet, but applies only to sockets with both RX and TX ring allocated, which is probably why this was unnoticed all the time.

[ Upstream commit 794ed393 ] Ben Greear reported crashes in ip_rcv_finish() on a stress test involving many macvlans. We tracked the bug to a dst use after free. ip_rcv_finish() was calling dst->input() and got garbage for dst->input value. It appears the bug is in loopback driver, lacking a skb_dst_force() before calling netif_rx(). As a result, a non refcounted dst, normally protected by a RCU read_lock section, was escaping this section and could be freed before the packet being processed.

[ Upstream commit 5d0feaff ] This was introduced in commit 6dccd16b "r8169: merge with version 6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver". I did not find the version 6.001.00 online, but in 6.002.00 or any later r8169 from Realtek this hunk is no longer present. Also commit 05af2142 "r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d" claims to have fixed this issue otherwise. The magic compare mask of 0xfffe000 is dubious as it masks parts of the Reserved part, and parts of the VLAN tag. But this does not make much sense as the VLAN tag parts are perfectly valid there. In matter of fact this seems to be triggered with any VLAN tagged packet as RxVlanTag bit is matched. I would suspect 0xfffe0000 was intended to test reserved part only. Finally, this hunk is evil as it can cause more packets to be handled than what was NAPI quota causing net/core/dev.c: net_rx_action(): WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight) to trigger, and mess up the NAPI state causing device to hang. As result, any system using VLANs and having high receive traffic (so that NAPI poll budget limits rtl_rx) would result in device hang. Signed-off-by:

commit 83e68189 upstream. Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch. Signed-off-by:

commit 8cf9fa12 upstream. The conn->smp_chan pointer can be NULL if SMP PDUs arrive at unexpected moments. To avoid NULL pointer dereferences the code should be checking for this and disconnect if an unexpected SMP PDU arrives. This patch fixes the issue by adding a check for conn->smp_chan for all other PDUs except pairing request and security request (which are are the first PDUs to come to initialize the SMP context).

commit 4965f566 upstream. Using a recursive call add a non-conflicting region in __reserve_region_with_split() could result in a stack overflow in the case that the recursive calls are too deep. Convert the recursive calls to an iterative loop to avoid the problem. Tested on a machine containing 135 regions. The kernel no longer panicked with stack overflow. Also tested with code arbitrarily adding regions with no conflict, embedding two consecutive conflicts and embedding two non-consecutive conflicts. Signed-off-by:

commit aded024a upstream. Don't access uninitialized work-queue when removing device. The work queue is initialized only if the device multi-queue. So don't call cancel_work unless this is a multi-queue device. This fixes the following panic: Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

commit a5ffbe0a upstream. Kernel commits 41affd52 and 6539306b changed the locking in rtl_lps_leave() from a spinlock to a mutex by doing the calls indirectly from a work queue to reduce the time that interrupts were disabled. This change was fine for most systems; however a scheduling while atomic bug was reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903881. The backtrace indicates that routine rtl_is_special(), which calls rtl_lps_leave() in three places was entered in atomic context. These direct calls are replaced by putting a request on the appropriate work queue. Signed-off-by:
