      md: Always set RECOVERY_NEEDED when clearing RECOVERY_FROZEN · b80f8866
      NeilBrown authored 
      commit 45eaf45d upstream.

md_check_recovery will skip any recovery and also clear
MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED if MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set.
So when we clear _FROZEN, we must set _NEEDED and ensure that
md_check_recovery gets run.
Otherwise we could miss out on something that is needed.

In particular, this can make it impossible to remove a
failed device from an array is the  'recovery-needed' processing
didn't happen.
Suitable for stable kernels since 3.13.

      firewire: cdev: prevent kernel stack leaking into ioctl arguments · c9d95a0c
      Stefan Richter authored 
      commit eaca2d8e upstream.

Found by the UC-KLEE tool:  A user could supply less input to
firewire-cdev ioctls than write- or write/read-type ioctl handlers
expect.  The handlers used data from uninitialized kernel stack then.

This could partially leak back to the user if the kernel subsequently
generated fw_cdev_event_'s (to be read from the firewire-cdev fd)
which notably would contain the _u64 closure field which many of the
ioctl argument structures contain.

The fact that the handlers would act on random garbage input is a
lesser issue since all handlers must check their input anyway.

The fix simply always null-initializes the entire ioctl argument buffer
regardless of the actual length of expected user input.  That is, a
runtime overhead of memset(..., 40) is added to each firewirew-cdev
ioctl() call.  [Comment from Clemens Ladisch:  This part of the stack is
most likely to be already in the cache.]

Remarks:
  - There was never any leak from kernel stack to the ioctl output
    buffer itself.  IOW, it was not possible to read kernel stack by a
    read-type or write/read-type ioctl alone; the leak could at most
    happen in combination with read()ing subsequent event data.
  - The actual expected minimum user input of each ioctl from
    include/uapi/linux/firewire-cdev.h is, in bytes:
    [0x00] = 32, [0x05] =  4, [0x0a] = 16, [0x0f] = 20, [0x14] = 16,
    [0x01] = 36, [0x06] = 20, [0x0b] =  4, [0x10] = 20, [0x15] = 20,
    [0x02] = 20, [0x07] =  4, [0x0c] =  0, [0x11] =  0, [0x16] =  8,
    [0x03] =  4, [0x08] = 24, [0x0d] = 20, [0x12] = 36, [0x17] = 12,
    [0x04] = 20, [0x09] = 24, [0x0e] =  4, [0x13] = 40, [0x18] =  4.

      Input: alps - ignore bad data on Dell Latitudes E6440 and E7440 · ee191b36
      Pali Rohár authored 
      commit a7ef82ae upstream.

Sometimes on Dell Latitude laptops psmouse/alps driver receive invalid ALPS
protocol V3 packets with bit7 set in last byte. More often it can be
reproduced on Dell Latitude E6440 or E7440 with closed lid and pushing
cover above touchpad.

If bit7 in last packet byte is set then it is not valid ALPS packet. I was
told that ALPS devices never send these packets. It is not know yet who
send those packets, it could be Dell EC, bug in BIOS and also bug in
touchpad firmware...

With this patch alps driver does not process those invalid packets, but
instead of reporting PSMOUSE_BAD_DATA, getting into out of sync state,
getting back in sync with the next byte and spam dmesg we return
PSMOUSE_FULL_PACKET. If driver is truly out of sync we'll fail the checks
on the next byte and report PSMOUSE_BAD_DATA then.

      zram: avoid kunmap_atomic() of a NULL pointer · 778fe1f3
      Weijie Yang authored 
      commit c4065152 upstream.

zram could kunmap_atomic() a NULL pointer in a rare situation: a zram
page becomes a full-zeroed page after a partial write io.  The current
code doesn't handle this case and performs kunmap_atomic() on a NULL
pointer, which panics the kernel.

This patch fixes this issue.

      ARM: 8198/1: make kuser helpers depend on MMU · b3c5cb6f
      Nathan Lynch authored 
      commit 08b964ff upstream.

The kuser helpers page is not set up on non-MMU systems, so it does
not make sense to allow CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS to be enabled when
CONFIG_MMU=n.  Allowing it to be set on !MMU results in an oops in
set_tls (used in execve and the arm_syscall trap handler):

Unhandled exception: IPSR = 00000005 LR = fffffff1

As best I can tell this issue existed for the set_tls ARM syscall
before commit fbfb872f "ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee
register state during exec" consolidated the TLS manipulation code
into the set_tls helper function, but now that we're using it to flush
register state during execve, !MMU users encounter the oops at the
first exec.

Prevent CONFIG_MMU=n configurations from enabling
CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS.

      ARM: 8191/1: decompressor: ensure I-side picks up relocated code · a951bc0b
      Will Deacon authored 
      commit 238962ac upstream.

To speed up decompression, the decompressor sets up a flat, cacheable
mapping of memory. However, when there is insufficient space to hold
the page tables for this mapping, we don't bother to enable the caches
and subsequently skip all the cache maintenance hooks.

Skipping the cache maintenance before jumping to the relocated code
allows the processor to predict the branch and populate the I-cache
with stale data before the relocation loop has completed (since a
bootloader may have SCTLR.I set, which permits normal, cacheable
instruction fetches regardless of SCTLR.M).

This patch moves the cache maintenance check into the maintenance
routines themselves, allowing the v6/v7 versions to invalidate the
I-cache regardless of the MMU state.
