commit 5abfe85c upstream. Commit "HID: logitech: perform bounds checking on device_id early enough" unfortunately leaks some errors to dmesg which are not real ones: - if the report is not a DJ one, then there is not point in checking the device_id - the receiver (index 0) can also receive some notifications which can be safely ignored given the current implementation Move out the test regarding the report_id and also discards printing errors when the receiver got notified.

commit 6817ae22 upstream. This patch fixes a potential security issue in the whiteheat USB driver which might allow a local attacker to cause kernel memory corrpution. This is due to an unchecked memcpy into a fixed size buffer (of 64 bytes). On EHCI and XHCI busses it's possible to craft responses greater than 64 bytes leading a buffer overflow.

This is so et131x_mdio_write() can use it's own addr value. - removing implementation of et131x_mdio_reset(), as it's not needed. - moving a call to et131x_disable_phy_coma() in et131x_pci_setup(), which uses phydev->addr, until after the mdiobus has been registered.

commit 7128039f upstream. Current definition of TLBTEMP_BASE_2 is always 32K above the TLBTEMP_BASE_1, whereas fast_second_level_miss handler for the TLBTEMP region analyzes virtual address bit (PAGE_SHIFT + DCACHE_ALIAS_ORDER) to determine TLBTEMP region where the fault happened. The size of the TLBTEMP region is also checked incorrectly: not 64K, but twice data cache way size (whicht may as well be less than the instruction cache way size). Fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 to be TLBTEMP_BASE_1 + data cache way size. Provide TLBTEMP_SIZE that is a greater of doubled data cache way size or the instruction cache way size, and use it to determine if the second level TLB miss occured in the TLBTEMP region. Practical occurence of page faults in the TLBTEMP area is extremely rare, this code can be tested by deletion of all w[di]tlb instructions in the tlbtemp_mapping region.

commit f3ee07d8 upstream. ALC269 & co have many vendor-specific setups with COEF verbs. However, some verbs seem specific to some codec versions and they result in the codec stalling. Typically, such a case can be avoided by checking the return value from reading a COEF. If the return value is -1, it implies that the COEF is invalid, thus it shouldn't be written. This patch adds the invalid COEF checks in appropriate places accessing ALC269 and its variants. The patch actually fixes the resume problem on Acer AO725 laptop.

commit 9c4bdf69 upstream. During recovery of a double-degraded RAID6 it is possible for some blocks not to be recovered properly, leading to corruption. If a write happens to one block in a stripe that would be written to a missing device, and at the same time that stripe is recovering data to the other missing device, then that recovered data may not be written. This patch skips, in the double-degraded case, an optimisation that is only safe for single-degraded arrays. Bug was introduced in 2.6.32 and fix is suitable for any kernel since then. In an older kernel with separate handle_stripe5() and handle_stripe6() functions the patch must change handle_stripe6().

commit 350b8bdd upstream. The third parameter of kvm_iommu_put_pages is wrong, It should be 'gfn - slot->base_gfn'. By making gfn very large, malicious guest or userspace can cause kvm to go to this error path, and subsequently to pass a huge value as size. Alternatively if gfn is small, then pages would be pinned but never unpinned, causing host memory leak and local DOS. Passing a reasonable but large value could be the most dangerous case, because it would unpin a page that should have stayed pinned, and thus allow the device to DMA into arbitrary memory. However, this cannot happen because of the condition that can trigger the error: - out of memory (where you can't allocate even a single page) should not be possible for the attacker to trigger - when exceeding the iommu's address space, guest pages after gfn will also exceed the iommu's address space, and inside kvm_iommu_put_pages() the iommu_iova_to_phys() will fail. The page thus would not be unpinned at all. Reported-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

commit 410dd3cf upstream. We did not check relocated directory in any way when processing Rock Ridge 'CL' tag. Thus a corrupted isofs image can possibly have a CL entry pointing to another CL entry leading to possibly unbounded recursion in kernel code and thus stack overflow or deadlocks (if there is a loop created from CL entries). Fix the problem by not allowing CL entry to point to a directory entry with CL entry (such use makes no good sense anyway) and by checking whether CL entry doesn't point to itself.

And that following line actually saves the result of local calculation by the pointer given in function argument.

[ Upstream commit 4ca9a237 ] Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze. In commit db64fe02 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer. This causes problems on sparc64. Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with eachother. First we have the malloc mapping area, then another unrelated region, then the vmalloc region. This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped. If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the openfirmware area entirely. The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this area. But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb them. These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset. Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are also incredibly inefficient. A plea has been made with the author of the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation. Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a macro and instead make it a function in a C source file. Signed-off-by: David S.

[ Upstream commit 18f38132 ] The assumption was that update_mmu_cache() (and the equivalent for PMDs) would only be called when the PTE being installed will be accessible by the user. This is not true for code paths originating from remove_migration_pte(). There are dire consequences for placing a non-valid PTE into the TSB. The TLB miss frramework assumes thatwhen a TSB entry matches we can just load it into the TLB and return from the TLB miss trap. So if a non-valid PTE is in there, we will deadlock taking the TLB miss over and over, never satisfying the miss. Just exit early from update_mmu_cache() and friends in this situation.

[ Upstream commit b18eb2d7 ] Access to the TSB hash tables during TLB misses requires that there be an atomic 128-bit quad load available so that we fetch a matching TAG and DATA field at the same time. On cpus prior to UltraSPARC-III only virtual address based quad loads are available. UltraSPARC-III and later provide physical address based variants which are easier to use. When we only have virtual address based quad loads available this means that we have to lock the TSB into the TLB at a fixed virtual address on each cpu when it runs that process. We can't just access the PAGE_OFFSET based aliased mapping of these TSBs because we cannot take a recursive TLB miss inside of the TLB miss handler without risking running out of hardware trap levels (some trap combinations can be deep, such as those generated by register window spill and fill traps). Without huge pages it's working perfectly fine, but when the huge TSB got added another chunk of fixed virtual address space was not allocated for this second TSB mapping. So we were mapping both the 8K and 4MB TSBs to the same exact virtual address, causing multiple TLB matches which gives undefined behavior. Signed-off-by: David S.

[ Upstream commit e5c460f4 ] This was found using Dave Jone's trinity tool. When a user process which is 32-bit performs a load or a store, the cpu chops off the top 32-bits of the effective address before translating it. This is because we run 32-bit tasks with the PSTATE_AM (address masking) bit set. We can't run the kernel with that bit set, so when the kernel accesses userspace no address masking occurs. Since a 32-bit process will have no mappings in that region we will properly fault, so we don't try to handle this using access_ok(), which can safely just be a NOP on sparc64. Real faults from 32-bit processes should never generate such addresses so a bug check was added long ago, and it barks in the logs if this happens. But it also barks when a kernel user access causes this condition, and that _can_ happen. For example, if a pointer passed into a system call is "0xfffffffc" and the kernel access 4 bytes offset from that pointer. Just handle such faults normally via the exception entries.
