commit 20f1de65 upstream. Fix possible overflow of the buffer used for expanding environment variables when building file list. In the extremely unlikely case of an attacker having control over the environment variables visible to gen_init_cpio, control over the contents of the file gen_init_cpio parses, and gen_init_cpio was built without compiler hardening, the attacker can gain arbitrary execution control via a stack buffer overflow. $ cat usr/crash.list file foo ${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG} 0755 0 0 $ BIG=$(perl -e 'print "A" x 4096;') ./usr/gen_init_cpio usr/crash.list *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./usr/gen_init_cpio terminated This also replaces the space-indenting with tabs. Patch based on existing fix extracted from grsecurity. Signed-off-by:

commit b63f4053 upstream. According to xHCI spec section 4.6.1.1 and section 4.6.1.2, after aborting a command on the command ring, xHC will generate a command completion event with its completion code set to Command Ring Stopped at least. If a command is currently executing at the time of aborting a command, xHC also generate a command completion event with its completion code set to Command Abort. When the command ring is stopped, software may remove, add, or rearrage Command Descriptors. To cancel a command, software will initialize a command descriptor for the cancel command, and add it into a cancel_cmd_list of xhci. When the command ring is stopped, software will find the command trbs described by command descriptors in cancel_cmd_list and modify it to No Op command. If software can't find the matched trbs, we can think it had been finished. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit 7ed603ec "xhci: Add an assertion to check for virt_dev=0 bug." That commit papers over a NULL pointer dereference, and this patch fixes the underlying issue that caused the NULL pointer dereference. Note from Sarah: The TRB_TYPE_LINK_LE32 macro is not in the 3.0 stable kernel, so I added it to this patch. Signed-off-by:

commit b92cc66c upstream. Software have to abort command ring and cancel command when a command is failed or hang. Otherwise, the command ring will hang up and can't handle the others. An example of a command that may hang is the Address Device Command, because waiting for a SET_ADDRESS request to be acknowledged by a USB device is outside of the xHC's ability to control. To cancel a command, software will initialize a command descriptor for the cancel command, and add it into a cancel_cmd_list of xhci. Sarah: Fixed missing newline on "Have the command ring been stopped?" debugging statement.

commit c181bc5b upstream. Adding cmd_ring_state for command ring. It helps to verify the current command ring state for controlling the command ring operations. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0. The commit 7ed603ec "xhci: Add an assertion to check for virt_dev=0 bug." papers over the NULL pointer dereference that I now believe is related to a timed out Set Address command. This (and the four patches that follow it) contain the real fix that also allows VIA USB 3.0 hubs to consistently re-enumerate during the plug/unplug stress tests. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2856cc2e ] On a 2-node machine with 256GB of ram we get 512 lines of console output, which is just too much. This mimicks Yinghai Lu's x86 commit c2b91e2e (x86_64/mm: check and print vmemmap allocation continuous) except that we aren't ever going to get contiguous block pointers in between calls so just print when the virtual address or node changes. This decreases the output by an order of 16. Also demote this to KERN_DEBUG. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit a27032ee ] There are multiple errors in how sys_sparc64_personality() handles personality flags stored in top three bytes. - directly comparing current->personality against PER_LINUX32 doesn't work in cases when any of the personality flags stored in the top three bytes are used. - directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or PER_LINUX discards any flags stored in the top three bytes Fix the first one by properly using personality() macro to compare only PER_MASK bytes. Fix the second one by setting only the bits that should be set, instead of overwriting the whole value. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit e793d8c6 ] There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event(). Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR. However, event enable was not reversing this operation. Instead, it was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits. That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do . The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear out the event type encoding field. So fix this by OR'ing in the event encoding rather than the trace enable bits. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 4c675258 ] After commit e2446eaa ("tcp_v4_send_reset: binding oif to iif in no sock case").. tcp resets are always lost, when routing is asymmetric. Yes, backing out that patch will result in misrouting of resets for dead connections which used interface binding when were alive, but we actually cannot do anything here. What's died that's died and correct handling normal unbound connections is obviously a priority. Comment to comment: > This has few benefits: > 1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that. It was done to route resets for IPv6 link local addresses. It was a mistake to do so for global addresses. The patch fixes this as well. Actually, the problem appears to be even more serious than guaranteed loss of resets. As reported by Sergey Soloviev <sol@eqv.ru>, those misrouted resets create a lot of arp traffic and huge amount of unresolved arp entires putting down to knees NAT firewalls which use asymmetric routing.

[ Upstream commit 5175a5e7 ] This is the revised patch for fixing rds-ping spinlock recursion according to Venkat's suggestions. RDS ping/pong over TCP feature has been broken for years(2.6.39 to 3.6.0) since we have to set TCP cork and call kernel_sendmsg() between ping/pong which both need to lock "struct sock *sk". However, this lock has already been hold before rds_tcp_data_ready() callback is triggerred. As a result, we always facing spinlock resursion which would resulting in system panic. Given that RDS ping is only used to test the connectivity and not for serious performance measurements, we can queue the pong transmit to rds_wq as a delayed response. Reported-by:

commit 168bfeef upstream. If none of the elements in scrubrates[] matches, this loop will cause __amd64_set_scrub_rate() to incorrectly use the n+1th element. As the function is designed to use the final scrubrates[] element in the case of no match, we can fix this bug by simply terminating the array search at the n-1th element. Boris: this code is fragile anyway, see here why: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135102834131236&w=2 It will be rewritten more robustly soonish. Reported-by:

commit a349e23d upstream. In 32 bit guests, if a userspace process has %eax == -ERESTARTSYS (-512) or -ERESTARTNOINTR (-513) when it is interrupted by an event /and/ the process has a pending signal then %eip (and %eax) are corrupted when returning to the main process after handling the signal. The application may then crash with SIGSEGV or a SIGILL or it may have subtly incorrect behaviour (depending on what instruction it returned to). The occurs because handle_signal() is incorrectly thinking that there is a system call that needs to restarted so it adjusts %eip and %eax to re-execute the system call instruction (even though user space had not done a system call). If %eax == -514 (-ERESTARTNOHAND (-514) or -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK (-516) then handle_signal() only corrupted %eax (by setting it to -EINTR). This may cause the application to crash or have incorrect behaviour. handle_signal() assumes that regs->orig_ax >= 0 means a system call so any kernel entry point that is not for a system call must push a negative value for orig_ax. For example, for physical interrupts on bare metal the inverse of the vector is pushed and page_fault() sets regs->orig_ax to -1, overwriting the hardware provided error code. xen_hypervisor_callback() was incorrectly pushing 0 for orig_ax instead of -1. Classic Xen kernels pushed %eax which works as %eax cannot be both non-negative and -RESTARTSYS (etc.), but using -1 is consistent with other non-system call entry points and avoids some of the tests in handle_signal(). There were similar bugs in xen_failsafe_callback() of both 32 and 64-bit guests. If the fault was corrected and the normal return path was used then 0 was incorrectly pushed as the value for orig_ax.

commit 627072b0 upstream. The tile tool chain uses the .eh_frame information for backtracing. The vmlinux build drops any .eh_frame sections at link time, but when present in kernel modules, it causes a module load failure due to the presence of unsupported pc-relative relocations. When compiling to use compiler feedback support, the compiler by default omits .eh_frame information, so we don't see this problem. But when not using feedback, we need to explicitly suppress the .eh_frame. Signed-off-by:

To quote Tejun: I don't think it will break anything as it simply changes assignment to |= to avoid overwriting existing flags. That said, any patch can break anything, so if possible it would be better to drop for 3.0.y. So I'll revert this to be safe.
