      mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390 · 71a36b53
      Jan Kara authored 
      commit ef5d437f upstream.

On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture
specific page dirty bit.  Thus when a page is written to via buffered
write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page,
page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty().

Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of
problems to filesystems.  The bug we observed in practice is that
buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as
dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from
xfs_count_page_state().

Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from
xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the
hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then
page unmapped.

Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of
mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty().  This is safe because for
such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also
marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault().  When the dirty bit is
cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in
page_mkclean().  So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is
dirty.

Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have
mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned
up variant of the patch.

The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs
while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines
where the original problem was triggered.

      x86, mm: Trim memory in memblock to be page aligned · 368845fd
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      commit 6ede1fd3 upstream.

We will not map partial pages, so need to make sure memblock
allocation will not allocate those bytes out.

Also we will use for_each_mem_pfn_range() to loop to map memory
range to keep them consistent.

      ARM: 7559/1: smp: switch away from the idmap before updating init_mm.mm_count · c87ece5a
      Will Deacon authored 
      commit 5f40b909 upstream.

When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page
tables via the secondary_data struct:

	(1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping
	    of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm).

	(2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF
	    section.

The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which
includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to
swapper as soon as it enters C code:

	struct mm_struct *mm = &init_mm;
	unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id();

	/*
	 * All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a
	 * reference and switch to it.
	 */
	atomic_inc(&mm->mm_count);
	current->active_mm = mm;
	cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm));
	cpu_switch_mm(mm->pgd, mm);

This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as
strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of
exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc.

This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we
switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses.

      genalloc: stop crashing the system when destroying a pool · 24d1745f
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored 
      commit eedce141 upstream.

The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and
lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values.  Both bitmap_set from
lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from
genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in
the bitmap.

That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three
bits.  This means that the API counts from the least significant bits
(LSB from now on) to the MSB.  The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then.
The same works for the lookup functions.

The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should.  In
include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long
bits[0] as its last member.  When allocating the struct, genalloc should
reserve enough space for the bitmap.  This should be a proper number of
longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap.

However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the
amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs.  9 bytes, for
example, could be allocated for 70 bits.

This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in
the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines.
This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to
set or check for a bit.

This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the
bits it has not allocated.  In fact, genalloc may not set these bits
because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since
they were not allocated.  And that's what causes a BUG when
gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits.

What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO
on gen_pool_add_virt.  With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab
will be cleared, not only the requested bytes.  Since struct
gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are
multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of
bytes.

Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset
after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO.

So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when
rmmod'ed.

      commit 12176503 upstream.

The compat ioctl for VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE was missing an error check
while converting ioctl arguments.  This could lead to leaking kernel
stack contents into userspace.

      gen_init_cpio: avoid stack overflow when expanding · 419cbf26
      Kees Cook authored 
      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.

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T430 and an UltraBase Series 3 docking
station.

Without this patch, if I plug my headphones into the jack on the
computer, everything works fine. The computer speakers mute and the
audio is played in the headphones. However, if I plug into the docking
station headphone jack the computer speakers are muted but there is no
audio in the headphones.
