commit f5f16541 upstream. The commit [88a8516a: ALSA: usbaudio: implement USB autosuspend] added the support of autopm for USB MIDI output, but it didn't take the MIDI input into account. This patch adds the following for fixing the autopm: - Manage the URB start at the first MIDI input stream open, instead of the time of instance creation - Move autopm code to the common substream_open() - Make snd_usbmidi_input_start/_stop() more robust and add the running state check Reviewd-by:

commit f2a07f40 upstream. Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic. Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35, when commit e17f74af "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(), which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags. With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack. mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code. Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also, the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not. Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them (that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects). I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy: it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL). But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested. Signed-off-by:

commit ad4b3fb7 upstream. Unfortunately with !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, (!PageHead) is false, and (PageHead) is true, for tail pages. If this is indeed the intended behavior, which I doubt because it breaks cache cleaning on some ARM systems, then the nomenclature is highly problematic. This patch makes sure PageHead is only true for head pages and PageTail is only true for tail pages, and neither is true for non-compound pages. [ This buglet seems ancient - seems to have been introduced back in Apr 2008 in commit 6a1e7f77: "pageflags: convert to the use of new macros". And the reason nobody noticed is because the PageHead() tests are almost all about just sanity-checking, and only used on pages that are actual page heads. The fact that the old code returned true for tail pages too was thus not really noticeable. - Linus ] Signed-off-by:

commit b92b1b89 upstream. Virtio devices may attempt to add descriptors to a virtqueue from atomic context using GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This is problematic because such allocations can fall outside of the lowmem mapping, causing virt_to_phys to report bogus physical addresses which are subsequently passed to userspace via the buffers for the virtual device. This patch masks out __GFP_HIGH and __GFP_HIGHMEM from the requested flags when allocating descriptors for a virtqueue. If an atomic allocation is requested and later fails, we will return -ENOSPC which will be handled by the driver. Signed-off-by:

commit b66c5984 upstream. If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak into the command line. Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively. However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the userspace argv areas. After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As such, we need to protect the changes to interp. This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or binfmt_misc does an allocation take place. For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from: http://www.halfdog.net/Security/2012/LinuxKernelBinfmtScriptStackDataDisclosure/Signed-off-by:

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 bba18e33 upstream. Ali reports that plugging a device into the Fresco Logic xHCI host with PCI device ID 1400 produces an IRQ error: do_IRQ: 3.176 No irq handler for vector (irq -1) Other early Fresco Logic host revisions don't support MSI, even though their PCI config space claims they do. Extend the quirk to disabling MSI to this chipset revision. Also enable the short transfer quirk, since it's likely this revision also has that quirk, and it should be harmless to enable. 04:00.0 0c03: 1b73:1400 (rev 01) (prog-if 30 [XHCI]) Subsystem: 1d5c:1000 Physical Slot: 3 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 51 Region 0: Memory at d4600000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold-) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000feeff00c Data: 41b1 Capabilities: [80] Express (v1) Endpoint, MSI 00 DevCap: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0, Latency L0s <2us, L1 <32us ExtTag- AttnBtn- AttnInd- PwrInd- RBE+ FLReset- DevCtl: Report errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- RlxdOrd+ ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop+ MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 512 bytes DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq- AuxPwr- TransPend- LnkCap: Port #0, Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s L1, Latency L0 unlimited, L1 unlimited ClockPM- Surprise- LLActRep- BwNot- LnkCtl: ASPM Disabled; RCB 64 bytes Disabled- Retrain- CommClk+ ExtSynch- ClockPM- AutWidDis- BWInt- AutBWInt- LnkSta: Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive- BWMgmt- ABWMgmt- Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 2.6.36, that contain the commit f5182b41 "xhci: Disable MSI for some Fresco Logic hosts."

commit 50ce5c06 upstream. This patch (as1636) is a partial workaround for a hardware bug affecting OHCI controllers by NVIDIA at least, maybe others too. When the controller retires a Transfer Descriptor, it is supposed to add the TD onto the Done Queue. But sometimes this doesn't happen, with the result that ohci-hcd never realizes the corresponding transfer has finished. Symptoms can vary; a typical result is that USB audio stops working after a while. The patch works around the problem by recognizing that TDs are always processed in order. Therefore, if a later TD is found on the Done Queue than all the earlier TDs for the same endpoint must be finished as well. Unfortunately this won't solve the problem in cases where the missing TD is the last one in the endpoint's queue. A complete fix would require a signficant amount of change to the driver.

commit a6b5e88c upstream. During resume from system suspend the 'data' field of struct pnp_dev in pnpacpi_set_resources() may be a stale pointer, due to removal of the associated ACPI device node object in the previous suspend-resume cycle. This happens, for example, if a dockable machine is booted in the docking station and then suspended and resumed and suspended again. If that happens, pnpacpi_build_resource_template() called from pnpacpi_set_resources() attempts to use that pointer and crashes. However, pnpacpi_set_resources() actually checks the device's ACPI handle, attempts to find the ACPI device node object attached to it and returns an error code if that fails, so in fact it knows what the correct value of dev->data should be. Use this observation to update dev->data with the correct value if necessary and dump a call trace if that's the case (once). We still need to fix the root cause of this issue, but preventing systems from crashing because of it is an improvement too. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 4000e626 upstream. Add a quirk to correctly report battery capacity on 2010 and 2011 Lenovo Thinkpad models. The affected models that I tested (x201, t410, t410s, and x220) exhibit a problem where, when battery capacity reporting unit is mAh, the values being reported are wrong. Pre-2010 and 2012 models appear to always report in mWh and are thus unaffected. Also, in mid-2012 Lenovo issued a BIOS update for the 2011 models that fixes the issue (tested on x220 with a post-1.29 BIOS). No such update is available for the 2010 models, so those still need this patch. Problem description: for some reason, the affected Thinkpads switch the reporting unit between mAh and mWh; generally, mAh is used when a laptop is plugged in and mWh when it's unplugged, although a suspend/resume or rmmod/modprobe is needed for the switch to take effect. The values reported in mAh are *always* wrong. This does not appear to be a kernel regression; I believe that the values were never reported correctly. I tested back to kernel 2.6.34, with multiple machines and BIOS versions. Simply plugging a laptop into mains before turning it on is enough to reproduce the problem. Here's a sample /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info from Thinkpad x220 (before a BIOS update) with a 4-cell battery: present: yes design capacity: 2886 mAh last full capacity: 2909 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 14800 mV design capacity warning: 145 mAh design capacity low: 13 mAh cycle count: 0 capacity granularity 1: 1 mAh capacity granularity 2: 1 mAh model number: 42T4899 serial number: 21064 battery type: LION OEM info: SANYO Once the laptop switches the unit to mWh (unplug from mains, suspend, resume), the output changes to: present: yes design capacity: 28860 mWh last full capacity: 29090 mWh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 14800 mV design capacity warning: 1454 mWh design capacity low: 200 mWh cycle count: 0 capacity granularity 1: 1 mWh capacity granularity 2: 1 mWh model number: 42T4899 serial number: 21064 battery type: LION OEM info: SANYO Can you see how the values for "design capacity", etc., differ by a factor of 10 instead of 14.8 (the design voltage of this battery)? On the battery itself it says: 14.8V, 1.95Ah, 29Wh, so clearly the values reported in mWh are correct and the ones in mAh are not. My guess is that this problem has been around ever since those machines were released, but because the most common Thinkpad batteries are rated at 10.8V, the error (8%) is small enough that it simply hasn't been noticed or at least nobody could be bothered to look into it. My patch works around the problem by adjusting the incorrectly reported mAh values by "10000 / design_voltage". The patch also has code to figure out if it should be activated or not. It only activates on Lenovo Thinkpads, only when the unit is mAh, and, as an extra precaution, only when the battery capacity reported through ACPI does not match what is reported through DMI (I've never encountered a machine where the first two conditions would be true but the last would not, but better safe than sorry). I've been using this patch for close to a year on several systems without any problems. References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41062Acked-by:

commit 18a2f371 upstream. This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable. Commit 00442ad0 ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired. This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page(). Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() - those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad0, alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

commit 387870f2 upstream. dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag, regardless the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive pruning of emergency memory pools without any good reason. Additionaly, on ARM architecture any driver which is using dmapools will sooner or later trigger the following error: "ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small! Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!". Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only delays such error, because all GFP_ATOMIC DMA allocations are always served from the special, very limited memory pool. This patch changes the dmapool code to correctly use gfp flags provided by the dmapool caller. Reported-by:

commit fc4b514f upstream. 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and then pass that into queue_delayed_work(). Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac2 moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON(). Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8 ("megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the machine.

commit e69b742a upstream. gcc (rightfully) complains that we are accessing beyond the end of the fpr array (we do, to access the fpscr). The only sane thing to do (whether anything in that code can be called remotely sane is debatable) is to special case fpscr and handle it as a separate statement. I initially tried to do it it by making the array access conditional to index < PT_FPSCR and using a 3rd else leg but for some reason gcc was unable to understand it and still spewed the warning. So I ended up with something a tad more intricated but it seems to build on 32-bit and on 64-bit with and without VSX. Signed-off-by:

commit 39141ddf upstream. After commit 846a1368 ("ARM: vfp: fix saving d16-d31 vfp registers on v6+ kernels"), the OMAP 2430SDP board started crashing during boot with omap2plus_defconfig: [ 3.875122] mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SD04G 3.69 GiB [ 3.915954] mmcblk0: p1 [ 4.086639] Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] SMP ARM [ 4.093719] Modules linked in: [ 4.096954] CPU: 0 Not tainted (3.6.0-02232-g759e00b8 #570) [ 4.103149] PC is at vfp_reload_hw+0x1c/0x44 [ 4.107666] LR is at __und_usr_fault_32+0x0/0x8 It turns out that the context save/restore fix unmasked a latent bug in commit 5aaf2544 ("ARM: 6203/1: Make VFPv3 usable on ARMv6"). When CONFIG_VFPv3 is set, but the kernel is booted on a pre-VFPv3 core, the code attempts to save and restore the d16-d31 VFP registers. These are only present on non-D16 VFPv3+, so this results in an undefined instruction exception. The code didn't crash before commit 846a1368 because the save and restore code was only touching d0-d15, present on all VFP. Fix by implementing a request from Russell King to add a new HWCAP flag that affirmatively indicates the presence of the d16-d31 registers: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=135013547905283&w=2 and some feedback from Måns to clarify the name of the HWCAP flag.
