commit be3101c2 upstream. This patch adds support for the Lake Shore Cryotronics devices to the CP210x driver. These lines are ported from cp210x driver distributed by Lake Shore web site: http://www.lakeshore.com/Documents/Lake%20Shore%20cp210x-3.0.0.tar.gz and licensed under the terms of GPLv2. Moreover, I've tested this changes with Lake Shore 335 in my labs. Signed-off-by:

commit e84e7a56 upstream. The code currently only supports one virtio-rng device at a time. Invoking guests with multiple devices causes the guest to blow up. Check if we've already registered and initialised the driver. Also cleanup in case of registration errors or hot-unplug so that a new device can be used. Reported-by:

commit a40e7cf8 upstream. Commit 9f9c9cbb ("drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it exists") hoisted the check for "_DMI_" into dmi_scan_machine(), which means that we don't bother to check for "_DMI_" at offset 16 in an SMBIOS entry. smbios_present() may also call dmi_present() for an address where we found "_SM_", if it failed further validation. Check for "_DMI_" in smbios_present() before calling dmi_present(). [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by:

When decnet is built as a module a simple: echo 0.0 >/proc/sys/net/decnet/node_address results in most of the sysctl entries under /proc/sys/net/decnet and /proc/sys/net/decnet/conf disappearing. For more details see http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg226123.html. This change applies the same workaround used in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c and net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c of creating a skeleton of decnet sysctl entries before doing anything else. The problem first appeared in kernel 2.6.27. The later rewrite of sysctl in kernel 3.4 restored the previous behavior and eliminated the need for this workaround. This patch was heavily inspired by a similar but more complex patch by Larry Baker. Reported-by:

commit db05021d upstream. The prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement: "enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically" This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel, but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing and has confused people enough to give wrong information during presentations. Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over five years. Time to bring the text up to the current decade. Reported-by:

commit a930d879 upstream. If you open a pipe for neither read nor write, the pipe code will not add any usage counters to the pipe, causing the 'struct pipe_inode_info" to be potentially released early. That doesn't normally matter, since you cannot actually use the pipe, but the pipe release code - particularly fasync handling - still expects the actual pipe infrastructure to all be there. And rather than adding NULL pointer checks, let's just disallow this case, the same way we already do for the named pipe ("fifo") case. This is ancient going back to pre-2.4 days, and until trinity, nobody naver noticed. Reported-by:

commit 0da9dfdd upstream. This fixes CVE-2013-1792. There is a race in install_user_keyrings() that can cause a NULL pointer dereference when called concurrently for the same user if the uid and uid-session keyrings are not yet created. It might be possible for an unprivileged user to trigger this by calling keyctl() from userspace in parallel immediately after logging in. Assume that we have two threads both executing lookup_user_key(), both looking for KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING. THREAD A THREAD B =============================== =============================== ==>call install_user_keyrings(); if (!cred->user->session_keyring) ==>call install_user_keyrings() ... user->uid_keyring = uid_keyring; if (user->uid_keyring) return 0; <== key = cred->user->session_keyring [== NULL] user->session_keyring = session_keyring; atomic_inc(&key->usage); [oops] At the point thread A dereferences cred->user->session_keyring, thread B hasn't updated user->session_keyring yet, but thread A assumes it is populated because install_user_keyrings() returned ok. The race window is really small but can be exploited if, for example, thread B is interrupted or preempted after initializing uid_keyring, but before doing setting session_keyring. This couldn't be reproduced on a stock kernel. However, after placing systemtap probe on 'user->session_keyring = session_keyring;' that introduced some delay, the kernel could be crashed reliably. Fix this by checking both pointers before deciding whether to return. Alternatively, the test could be done away with entirely as it is checked inside the mutex - but since the mutex is global, that may not be the best way. Signed-off-by:

commit 2069d483 upstream. When a value of a vmaster slave control is changed, the ctl change notification is sometimes ignored. This happens when the master control overrides, e.g. when the corresponding master control is muted. The reason is that slave_put() returns the value of the actual slave put callback, and it doesn't reflect the virtual slave value change. This patch fixes the function just to return 1 whenever a slave value is changed. Signed-off-by:

commit 58ebb34c upstream. Create_stripe_zones returns an error slightly differently to raid0_run and to raid0_takeover_*. The error returned used by the second was wrong and an error would result in mddev->private being set to NULL and sooner or later a crash. So never return NULL, return ERR_PTR(err), not NULL from create_stripe_zones. This bug has been present since 2.6.35 so the fix is suitable for any kernel since then. Signed-off-by:

commit f7f154f1 upstream. virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98. However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address (at least on most archs). We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).

commit a9a6b52e upstream. If the socket is full, we're better off just waiting until it empties, or until the connection is broken. The reason why we generally don't want to time out is that the call to xprt->ops->release_xprt() will trigger a connection reset, which isn't helpful... Let's make an exception for soft RPC calls, since they have to provide timeout guarantees. Signed-off-by:

commit 1cba0cdf upstream. __btrfs_close_devices() clones btrfs device structs with memcpy(). Some of the fields in the clone are reinitialized, but it's missing to init io_lock. In mainline this goes unnoticed, but on RT it leaves the plist pointing to the original about to be freed lock struct. Initialize io_lock after cloning, so no references to the original struct are left. Reported-and-tested-by:

As we can see, the instruction triggering the exception is the "vmov" instruction, and we emulate the "vsub.f32 s4, s3, s2" but fail to properly take account of the FPEXC_FP2V flag in FPEXC. This is because the test for the second instruction register being valid is bogus, and will always skip emulation of the second instruction. Reported-by:

commit cc400e18 upstream. Some low-level comedi drivers (incorrectly) point `dev->read_subdev` or `dev->write_subdev` to a subdevice that does not support asynchronous commands. Comedi's poll(), read() and write() file operation handlers assume these subdevices do support asynchronous commands. In particular, they assume `s->async` is valid (where `s` points to the read or write subdevice), which it won't be if it has been set incorrectly. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Check `s->async` is non-NULL in `comedi_poll()`, `comedi_read()` and `comedi_write()` to avoid the bug. Signed-off-by:

Commit 22056e2b upstream. Tuomas <tvainikk _at_ gmail _dot_ com> reported problems getting meaningful output from a Lab-PC+ in differential mode for AI cmds, but AI insn reads gave correct readings. He tracked it down to two problems, one of which is addressed by this patch. It seems that writing to the command3 register after writing to the command4 register in `labpc_ai_cmd()` messes up the differential reference bit setting in the command4 register. Set up the command4 register after the command3 register (as in `labpc_ai_rinsn()`) to avoid the problem. Thanks to Tuomas for suggesting the fix. Signed-off-by:

Commit 4c4bc25d upstream. Tuomas <tvainikk _at_ gmail _dot_ com> reported problems getting meaningful output from a Lab-PC+ in differential mode for AI cmds, but AI insn reads gave correct readings. He tracked it down to two problems, one of which is addressed by this patch. It seems the setting of the channel bits for particular scanning modes was incorrect for differential mode. (Only half the number of channels are available in differential mode; comedi refers to them as channels 0, 1, 2 and 3, but the hardware documentation refers to them as channels 0, 2, 4 and 6.) In differential mode, the setting of the channel enable bits in the command1 register should depend on whether the scan enable bit is set. Effectively, we need to double the comedi channel number when the scan enable bit is not set in differential mode. The scan enable bit gets set when the AI scan mode is `MODE_MULT_CHAN_UP` or `MODE_MULT_CHAN_DOWN`, and gets cleared when the AI scan mode is `MODE_SINGLE_CHAN` or `MODE_SINGLE_CHAN_INTERVAL`. The existing test for whether the comedi channel number needs to be doubled in differential mode is incorrect in `labpc_ai_cmd()`. This patch corrects the test. Thanks to Tuomas for suggesting the fix. Signed-off-by:

But we do not have ARCS in kvm_run in 3.0 yet, so this results in: arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c: In function 'kvm_s390_vcpu_store_status': arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c:593: error: 'struct kvm_run' has no member named 's' Fix it by saving guest_acrs which is where ARCS are in 3.0.

In 3.0.67, commit 7a9a20ea (dca: check against empty dca_domains list before unregister provider), upstream commit c419fcfd, added a fail path to unregister_dca_provider. It added there also a call to raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore. But in 3.0, the lock is not raw, so this results in: drivers/dca/dca-core.c: In function 'unregister_dca_provider': drivers/dca/dca-core.c:413: warning: passing argument 1 of '_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore' from incompatible pointer type Fix it by calling spin_unlock_irqrestore properly.

commit 71b5707e upstream. In cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() is called without any lock, which might lead to accessing a freed cgroup: thread1 thread2 --------------------------------------------- exit() cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() atomic_dec(cgrp->count); rmdir(); /* not safe !! */ check_for_release(cgrp); rcu_read_lock() can be used to make sure the cgroup is alive.

commit 63f43f55 upstream. rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold a longer name. It's safe in the protection of dentry->d_lock. v2: check NULL dentry before acquiring dentry lock. Signed-off-by:

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 4f4ffc3a upstream. automount-support is broken on the parisc architecture, because the existing #if list does not include a check for defined(__hppa__). The HPPA (parisc) architecture is similiar to other 64bit Linux targets where we have to define autofs_wqt_t (which is passed back and forth to user space) as int type which has a size of 32bit across 32 and 64bit kernels. During the discussion on the mailing list, H. Peter Anvin suggested to invert the #if list since only specific platforms (specifically those who do not have a 32bit userspace, like IA64 and Alpha) should have autofs_wqt_t as unsigned long type. This suggestion is probably the best way to go, since Arm64 (and maybe others?) seems to have a non-working automounter. So in the long run even for other new upcoming architectures this inverted check seem to be the best solution, since it will not require them to change this #if again (unless they are 64bit only).
