commit 33d99113 upstream. commit 25fb6ca4 "net IPv6 : Fix broken IPv6 routing table after loopback down-up" allocates addrconf router for ipv6 address when lo device up. but commit a881ae1f "ipv6:don't call addrconf_dst_alloc again when enable lo" breaks this behavior. Since the addrconf router is moved to the garbage list when lo device down, we should release this router and rellocate a new one for ipv6 address when lo device up. This patch solves bug 67951 on bugzilla https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67951 change from v1: use ip6_rt_put to repleace ip6_del_rt, thanks Hannes! change code style, suggested by Sergei.

commit 57e68e9c upstream. A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked). The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration, which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that effect. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page != check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable memory design.

commit 8762e509 upstream. init_espfix_ap() is currently off by one level when informing hypervisor that allocated pages will be used for ministacks' page tables. The most immediate effect of this on a PV guest is that if 'stack_page = __get_free_page()' returns a non-zeroed-out page the hypervisor will refuse to use it for a page table (which it shouldn't be anyway). This will result in warnings by both Xen and Linux. More importantly, a subsequent write to that page (again, by a PV guest) is likely to result in fatal page fault.

commit 3cf521f7 upstream. The l2tp [get|set]sockopt() code has fallen back to the UDP functions for socket option levels != SOL_PPPOL2TP since day one, but that has never actually worked, since the l2tp socket isn't an inet socket. As David Miller points out: "If we wanted this to work, it'd have to look up the tunnel and then use tunnel->sk, but I wonder how useful that would be" Since this can never have worked so nobody could possibly have depended on that functionality, just remove the broken code and return -EINVAL.

commit 7209a75d upstream. This moves the espfix64 logic into native_iret. To make this work, it gets rid of the native patch for INTERRUPT_RETURN: INTERRUPT_RETURN on native kernels is now 'jmp native_iret'. This changes the 16-bit SS behavior on Xen from OOPSing to leaking some bits of the Xen hypervisor's RSP (I think). [ hpa: this is a nonzero cost on native, but probably not enough to measure. Xen needs to fix this in their own code, probably doing something equivalent to espfix64. ] Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/7b8f1d8ef6597cb16ae004a43c56980a7de3cf94.1406129132.git.luto@amacapital.netSigned-off-by: H.

commit 197725de upstream. Make espfix64 a hidden Kconfig option. This fixes the x86-64 UML build which had broken due to the non-existence of init_espfix_bsp() in UML: since UML uses its own Kconfig, this option does not appear in the UML build. This also makes it possible to make support for 16-bit segments a configuration option, for the people who want to minimize the size of the kernel.

commit 3891a04a upstream. The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. This causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state to user space. We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in 64-bit mode. In checkin: b3b42ac2 x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work. This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart. When we detect that the return SS is on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the relevant alias to return to userspace. The ministacks are mapped readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF handler. (Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.) Special thanks to: - Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF. - Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing. - Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

commit b104a35d upstream. The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET should be set in allocflags. ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems. Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim. Thus, it is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a side-effect. This patch ensures that ALLOC_CPUSET is only cleared when the gfp mask is truly GFP_ATOMIC by verifying it is also not a thp allocation.

commit 811a2407 upstream. On LPAE, each level 1 (pgd) page table entry maps 1GiB, and the level 2 (pmd) entries map 2MiB. When the identity mapping is created on LPAE, the pgd pointers are copied from the swapper_pg_dir. If we find that we need to modify the contents of a pmd, we allocate a new empty pmd table and insert it into the appropriate 1GB slot, before then filling it with the identity mapping. However, if the 1GB slot covers the kernel lowmem mappings, we obliterate those mappings. When replacing a PMD, first copy the old PMD contents to the new PMD, so that we preserve the existing mappings, particularly the mappings of the kernel itself.

commit 7f88f88f upstream. Commit 248ac0e1 ("mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap blocks") had the side effect of making vmap_area.va_end member point to the next vmap_area.va_start. This was creating an artificial reference to vmalloc'ed objects and kmemleak was rarely reporting vmalloc() leaks. This patch marks the vmap_area containing pointers explicitly and reduces the min ref_count to 2 as vm_struct still contains a reference to the vmalloc'ed object. The kmemleak add_scan_area() function has been improved to allow a SIZE_MAX argument covering the rest of the object (for simpler calling sites).

commit 2062afb4 upstream. Michel Dänzer and a couple of other people reported inexplicable random oopses in the scheduler, and the cause turns out to be gcc mis-compiling the load_balance() function when debugging is enabled. The gcc bug apparently goes back to gcc-4.5, but slight optimization changes means that it now showed up as a problem in 4.9.0 and 4.9.1. The instruction scheduling problem causes gcc to schedule a spill operation to before the stack frame has been created, which in turn can corrupt the spilled value if an interrupt comes in. There may be other effects of this bug too, but that's the code generation problem seen in Michel's case. This is fixed in current gcc HEAD, but the workaround as suggested by Markus Trippelsdorf is pretty simple: use -fno-var-tracking-assignments when compiling the kernel, which disables the gcc code that causes the problem. This can result in slightly worse debug information for variable accesses, but that is infinitely preferable to actual code generation problems. Doing this unconditionally (not just for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO) also allows non-debug builds to verify that the debug build would be identical: we can do export GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1 to make gcc internally verify that the result of the build is independent of the "-g" flag (it will make the compiler build everything twice, toggling the debug flag, and compare the results). Without the "-fno-var-tracking-assignments" option, the build would fail (even with 4.8.3 that didn't show the actual stack frame bug) with a gcc compare failure.

commit 8142b215 upstream. Commit 554086d8 ("x86_32, entry: Do syscall exit work on badsys (CVE-2014-4508)") introduced a regression in the x86_32 syscall entry code, resulting in syscall() not returning proper errors for undefined syscalls on CPUs supporting the sysenter feature. The following code: > int result = syscall(666); > printf("result=%d errno=%d error=%s\n", result, errno, strerror(errno)); results in: > result=666 errno=0 error=Success Obviously, the syscall return value is the called syscall number, but it should have been an ENOSYS error. When run under ptrace it behaves correctly, which makes it hard to debug in the wild: > result=-1 errno=38 error=Function not implemented The %eax register is the return value register. For debugging via ptrace the syscall entry code stores the complete register context on the stack. The badsys handlers only store the ENOSYS error code in the ptrace register set and do not set %eax like a regular syscall handler would. The old resume_userspace call chain contains code that clobbers %eax and it restores %eax from the ptrace registers afterwards. The same goes for the ptrace-enabled call chain. When ptrace is not used, the syscall return value is the passed-in syscall number from the untouched %eax register. Use %eax as the return value register in syscall_badsys and sysenter_badsys, like a real syscall handler does, and have the caller push the value onto the stack for ptrace access.

commit 1871ee13 upstream. The sata on fsl mpc8315e is broken after the commit 8a4aeec8 ("libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered controllers"). The reason is that the ata controller on this SoC only implement a queue depth of 16. When issuing the commands in tag order, all the commands in tag 16 ~ 31 are mapped to tag 0 unconditionally and then causes the sata malfunction. It makes no senses to use a 32 queue in software while the hardware has less queue depth. So consider the queue depth implemented by the hardware when requesting a command tag.

commit 3a93c841 upstream. This patch disables translation(dma-remapping) before its initialization if it is already enabled. This is needed for kexec/kdump boot. If dma-remapping is enabled in the first kernel, it need to be disabled before initializing its page table during second kernel boot. Wei Hu also reported that this is needed when second kernel boots with intel_iommu=off. Basically iommu->gcmd is used to know whether translation is enabled or disabled, but it is always zero at boot time even when translation is enabled since iommu->gcmd is initialized without considering such a case. Therefor this patch synchronizes iommu->gcmd value with global command register when iommu structure is allocated.

commit 4320f6b1 upstream. The commit [247bc037: PM / Sleep: Mitigate race between the freezer and request_firmware()] introduced the finer state control, but it also leads to a new bug; for example, a bug report regarding the firmware loading of intel BT device at suspend/resume: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873790 The root cause seems to be a small window between the process resume and the clear of usermodehelper lock. The request_firmware() function checks the UMH lock and gives up when it's in UMH_DISABLE state. This is for avoiding the invalid f/w loading during suspend/resume phase. The problem is, however, that usermodehelper_enable() is called at the end of thaw_processes(). Thus, a thawed process in between can kick off the f/w loader code path (in this case, via btusb_setup_intel()) even before the call of usermodehelper_enable(). Then usermodehelper_read_trylock() returns an error and request_firmware() spews WARN_ON() in the end. This oneliner patch fixes the issue just by setting to UMH_FREEZING state again before restarting tasks, so that the call of request_firmware() will be blocked until the end of this function instead of returning an error.

commit d76744a9 upstream. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70191 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77581 It is observed that sometimes Tx packet is downloaded without adding driver's txpd header. This results in firmware parsing garbage data as packet length. Sometimes firmware is unable to read the packet if length comes out as invalid. This stops further traffic and timeout occurs. The root cause is uninitialized fields in tx_info(skb->cb) of packet used to get garbage values. In this case if MWIFIEX_BUF_FLAG_REQUEUED_PKT flag is mistakenly set, txpd header was skipped. This patch makes sure that tx_info is correctly initialized to fix the problem.

commit b292d7a1 upstream. Currently, any NMI is falsely handled by a NMI handler of NMI watchdog if CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR is set. For example, we use external NMI to make system panic to get crash dump, but in this case, the external NMI is falsely handled do to the issue. This commit deals with the issue simply by ignoring CondChgd bit. Here is explanation in detail. On x86 NMI watchdog uses performance monitoring feature to periodically signal NMI each time performance counter gets overflowed. intel_pmu_handle_irq() is called as a NMI_LOCAL handler from a NMI handler of NMI watchdog, perf_event_nmi_handler(). It identifies an owner of a given NMI by looking at overflow status bits in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR. If some of the bits are set, then it handles the given NMI as its own NMI. The problem is that the intel_pmu_handle_irq() doesn't distinguish CondChgd bit from other bits. Unlike the other status bits, CondChgd bit doesn't represent overflow status for performance counters. Thus, CondChgd bit cannot be thought of as a mark indicating a given NMI is NMI watchdog's. As a result, if CondChgd bit is set, any NMI is falsely handled by the NMI handler of NMI watchdog. Also, if type of the falsely handled NMI is either NMI_UNKNOWN, NMI_SERR or NMI_IO_CHECK, the corresponding action is never performed until CondChgd bit is cleared. I noticed this behavior on systems with Ivy Bridge processors: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630 v2 and Intel Xeon CPU E7-8890 v2. On both systems, CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR has already been set in the beginning at boot. Then the CondChgd bit is immediately cleared by next wrmsr to MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR and appears to remain 0. On the other hand, on older processors such as Nehalem, Xeon E7540, CondChgd bit is not set in the beginning at boot. I'm not sure about exact behavior of CondChgd bit, in particular when this bit is set. Although I read Intel System Programmer's Manual to figure out that, the descriptions I found are: In 18.9.1: "The MSR_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR also provides a ¡sticky bit¢ to indicate changes to the state of performancmonitoring hardware" In Table 35-2 IA-32 Architectural MSRs 63 CondChg: status bits of this register has changed. These are different from the bahviour I see on the actual system as I explained above. At least, I think ignoring CondChgd bit should be enough for NMI watchdog perspective.

[ Upstream commit 10ec9472 ] There is a benign buffer overflow in ip_options_compile spotted by AddressSanitizer[1] : Its benign because we always can access one extra byte in skb->head (because header is followed by struct skb_shared_info), and in this case this byte is not even used.
