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 c8b74c2f upstream. The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache. A bug causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned number. This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a time). This generally only affects systems with highmem because the underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable memory. The problem was introduced with v3.2-4896-gab8fabd4 Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or global dirtyable memory. 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 b9cdc88d upstream. When using a virtio transport, the 9p net device may pass the physical address of a kernel buffer to userspace via a scatterlist inside a virtqueue. If the kernel buffer is mapped outside of the linear mapping (e.g. highmem), then virt_to_page will return a bogus value and we will populate the scatterlist with junk. This patch uses kmap_to_page when populating the page array for a kernel buffer. Signed-off-by:

commit f0263d2d upstream. Some virtio device drivers (9p) need to translate high virtual addresses to physical addresses, which are inserted into the virtqueue for processing by userspace. This patch exports the kmap_to_page symbol, so that the affected drivers can be compiled as modules. Signed-off-by:

commit 304ef4e8 upstream. To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the signal stack. This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task. This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe, ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

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 891348ca upstream. We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap. That trap would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received. This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the end of the deactivate. I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead to a system to continue on to call die().

commit 576d28a7 upstream. Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the probe routine to fail because the request to user space times out. The original fix for b43legacy (commit a3ea2c76) moved the firmware load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous firmware loading. This method is OK when b43legacy is built as a module; however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel. This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to hold the work queue until that file is available. The remaining firmware files are read synchronously. Signed-off-by:

commit bd9eb7fb upstream. There is one race that both request_firmware() with the same firmware name. The race scenerio is as below: CPU1 CPU2 request_firmware() --> _request_firmware_load() return err another request_firmware() is coming --> _request_firmware_cleanup is called --> _request_firmware_prepare --> release_firmware ---> fw_lookup_and_allocate_buf --> spin_lock(&fwc->lock) ... __fw_lookup_buf() return true fw_free_buf() will be called --> ... kref_put --> decrease the refcount to 0 kref_get(&tmp->ref) ==> it will trigger warning due to refcount == 0 __fw_free_buf() --> ... spin_unlock(&fwc->lock) spin_lock(&fwc->lock) list_del(&buf->list) spin_unlock(&fwc->lock) kfree(buf) After that, the freed buf will be used. The key race is decreasing refcount to 0 and list_del is not protected together by fwc->lock, and it is possible another thread try to get it between refcount==0 and list_del. Fix it here to protect it together. Acked-by:

commit ce2fcbd9 upstream. There is a race as below when calling request_firmware(): CPU1 CPU2 write 0 > loading mutex_lock(&fw_lock) ... set_bit FW_STATUS_DONE class_timeout is coming set_bit FW_STATUS_ABORT complete_all &completion ... mutex_unlock(&fw_lock) In this time, the bit FW_STATUS_DONE and FW_STATUS_ABORT are set, and request_firmware() will return failure due to condition in _request_firmware_load(): if (!buf->size || test_bit(FW_STATUS_ABORT, &buf->status)) retval = -ENOENT; But from the above scenerio, it should be a successful requesting. So we need judge if the bit FW_STATUS_DONE is already set before calling fw_load_abort() in timeout function. As Ming's proposal, we need change the timer into sched_work to benefit from using &fw_lock mutex also. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit f8e8f97c ] Dmitry Kravkov reported packet drops for GRE packets since GRO support was added. There is a race in gro_cell_poll() because we call napi_complete() without any synchronization with a concurrent gro_cells_receive() Once bug was triggered, we queued packets but did not schedule NAPI poll. We can fix this issue using the spinlock protected the napi_skbs queue, as we have to hold it to perform skb dequeue anyway. As we open-code skb_dequeue(), we no longer need to mask IRQS, as both producer and consumer run under BH context. Bug added in commit c9e6bc64 (net: add gro_cells infrastructure) Reported-by:

commit 878d7439 upstream. Commit 29c00b4a (rcu: Add event-tracing for RCU callback invocation) added a regression in rcu_do_batch() Under stress, RCU is supposed to allow to process all items in queue, instead of a batch of 10 items (blimit), but an integer overflow makes the effective limit being 1. So, unless there is frequent idle periods (during which RCU ignores batch limits), RCU can be forced into a state where it cannot keep up with the callback-generation rate, eventually resulting in OOM. This commit therefore converts a few variables in rcu_do_batch() from int to long to fix this problem, along with the module parameters controlling the batch limits. Signed-off-by:

commit 2656a9ab upstream. This patch (as1632b) fixes a bug in ehci-hcd. The USB core uses urb->hcpriv to determine whether or not an URB is active; host controller drivers are supposed to set this pointer to a non-NULL value when an URB is queued. However ehci-hcd sets it to NULL for isochronous URBs, which defeats the check in usbcore. In itself this isn't a big deal. But people have recently found that certain sequences of actions will cause the snd-usb-audio driver to reuse URBs without waiting for them to complete. In the absence of proper checking by usbcore, the URBs get added to their endpoint list twice. This leads to list corruption and a system freeze. The patch makes ehci-hcd assign a meaningful value to urb->hcpriv for isochronous URBs. Improving robustness always helps. Signed-off-by:

commit ba2d8ce9 upstream. Some devices (ex Nokia C7) simply don't respond at all when data is sent to some of their USB interfaces. The data gets stuck in the TTYs queue and sits there until close(2), which them blocks because closing_wait defaults to 30 seconds (even though the fd is O_NONBLOCK). This is rarely desired. Implement the standard mechanism to adjust closing_wait and let applications handle it how they want to. See also 02303f73 for usb_wwan.c. Signed-off-by:

commit 9366c1ba upstream. The function rb_check_pages() was added to make sure the ring buffer's pages were sane. This check is done when the ring buffer size is modified as well as when the iterator is released (closing the "trace" file), as that was considered a non fast path and a good place to do a sanity check. The problem is that the check does not have any locks around it. If one process were to read the trace file, and another were to read the raw binary file, the check could happen while the reader is reading the file. The issues with this is that the check requires to clear the HEAD page before doing the full check and it restores it afterward. But readers require the HEAD page to exist before it can read the buffer, otherwise it gives a nasty warning and disables the buffer. By adding the reader lock around the check, this keeps the race from happening. Signed-off-by:

commit 54f7be5b upstream. The function rb_set_head_page() searches the list of ring buffer pages for a the page that has the HEAD page flag set. If it does not find it, it will do a WARN_ON(), disable the ring buffer and return NULL, as this should never happen.

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 fb37ef98 upstream. As reported https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51031, the UAS driver causes problems and has been asked to be not built into any of the major distributions. To prevent users from running into problems with it, and for distros that were not notified, just mark the whole thing as broken. Acked-by:

commit 1a88d5ee upstream. BeagleBone A5+ devices ended up getting shipped with the 'BeagleBone/XDS100V2' product string, and not XDS100 like it was agreed, so adjust the quirk to match. For details, see the thread on the beagle list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/beagleboard/zrFPew9_Wvo/ibWr1-eE8JwJSigned-off-by:

commit d7e14b37 upstream. The Newport AGILIS model AG-UC8 compact piezo motor controller (http://search.newport.com/?q=*&x2=sku&q2=AG-UC8) is yet another device using an FTDI USB-to-serial chip. It works fine with the ftdi_sio driver when adding options ftdi-sio product=0x3000 vendor=0x104d to modprobe.d. udevadm reports "Newport" as the manufacturer, and "Agilis" as the product name.

commit f36446cf upstream. The Huawei E173 will normally appear as 12d1:1436 in Linux. But the modem has another mode with different device ID and a slightly different set of descriptors. This is the mode used by Windows like this: 3Modem: USB\VID_12D1&PID_140C&MI_00\6&3A1D2012&0&0000 Networkcard: USB\VID_12D1&PID_140C&MI_01\6&3A1D2012&0&0001 Appli.Inter: USB\VID_12D1&PID_140C&MI_02\6&3A1D2012&0&0002 PC UI Inter: USB\VID_12D1&PID_140C&MI_03\6&3A1D2012&0&0003 All interfaces have the same ff/ff/ff class codes in this mode. Blacklisting the network interface to allow it to be picked up by the network driver. Reported-by:

commit 6acf5a8c upstream. HPET_TN_FSB is not a proper mask bit; it merely toggles between MSI and legacy interrupt delivery. The proper mask bit is HPET_TN_ENABLE, so use both bits when (un)masking the interrupt. Signed-off-by:
