commit 83c133cf upstream. The NMI entry code that switches to the normal kernel stack needs to be very careful not to clobber any extra stack slots on the NMI stack. The code is fine under the assumption that SWAPGS is just a normal instruction, but that assumption isn't really true. Use SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK instead. This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

commit fc57a7c6 upstream. PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME generates this code (using nmi as an example, trimmed for readability): ff 15 00 00 00 00 callq *0x0(%rip) # 2796 <nmi+0x6> 2792: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_irq_ops+0x2c That's a call through a function pointer to regular C function that does nothing on native boots, but that function isn't protected against kprobes, isn't marked notrace, and is certainly not guaranteed to preserve any registers if the compiler is feeling perverse. This is bad news for a CLBR_NONE operation. Of course, if everything works correctly, once paravirt ops are patched, it gets nopped out, but what if we hit this code before paravirt ops are patched in? This can potentially cause breakage that is very difficult to debug. A more subtle failure is possible here, too: if _paravirt_nop uses the stack at all (even just to push RBP), it will overwrite the "NMI executing" variable if it's called in the NMI prologue. The Xen case, perhaps surprisingly, is fine, because it's already written in asm. Fix all of the cases that default to paravirt_nop (including adjust_exception_frame) with a big hammer: replace paravirt_nop with an asm function that is just a ret instruction. The Xen case may have other problems, so document them. This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

commit 98ce94c8 upstream. Linux cifs mount with ntlmssp against an Mac OS X (Yosemite 10.10.5) share fails in case the clocks differ more than +/-2h: digest-service: digest-request: od failed with 2 proto=ntlmv2 digest-service: digest-request: kdc failed with -1561745592 proto=ntlmv2 Fix this by (re-)using the given server timestamp for the ntlmv2 authentication (as Windows 7 does). A related problem was also reported earlier by Namjae Jaen (see below): Windows machine has extended security feature which refuse to allow authentication when there is time difference between server time and client time when ntlmv2 negotiation is used. This problem is prevalent in embedded enviornment where system time is set to default 1970. Modern servers send the server timestamp in the TargetInfo Av_Pair structure in the challenge message [see MS-NLMP 2.2.2.1] In [MS-NLMP 3.1.5.1.2] it is explicitly mentioned that the client must use the server provided timestamp if present OR current time if it is not Reported-by: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Seiderer <ps.report@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com>

commit df057cc7 upstream. Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences headed by an ADRP instruction. There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF objects. This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled, builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules.

commit bdec97a8 upstream. When saving/restoring the VFP registers from a compat (AArch32) signal frame, we rely on the compat registers forming a prefix of the native register file and therefore make use of copy_{to,from}_user to transfer between the native fpsimd_state and the compat_vfp_sigframe. Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well in a big-endian environment. Our fpsimd save/restore code operates directly on 128-bit quantities (Q registers) whereas the compat_vfp_sigframe represents the registers as an array of 64-bit (D) registers. The architecture packs the compat D registers into the Q registers, with the least significant bytes holding the lower register. Consequently, we need to swap the 64-bit halves when converting between these two representations on a big-endian machine. This patch replaces the __copy_{to,from}_user invocations in our compat VFP signal handling code with explicit __put_user loops that operate on 64-bit values and swap them accordingly.

commit 03da3ff1 upstream. In 2007, commit 07190a08 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable") bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code (now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was set. OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices, because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531 By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus fixing the problem.

commit 36b35d5d upstream. If we had secondary hash flag set, we ended up modifying hash value in the updatepp code path. Hence with a failed updatepp we will be using a wrong hash value for the following hash insert. Fix this by recomputing hash before insert. Without this patch we can end up with using wrong slot number in linux pte. That can result in us missing an hash pte update or invalidate which can cause memory corruption or even machine check.

commit 9b55613f upstream. When a kernel is built covering ARMv6 to ARMv7, we omit to clear the IT state when entering a signal handler. This can cause the first few instructions to be conditionally executed depending on the parent context. In any case, the original test for >= ARMv7 is broken - ARMv6 can have Thumb-2 support as well, and an ARMv6T2 specific build would omit this code too. Relax the test back to ARMv6 or greater. This results in us always clearing the IT state bits in the PSR, even on CPUs where these bits are reserved. However, they're reserved for the IT state, so this should cause no harm.

commit a30e577c upstream. In btrfs_evict_inode, we properly truncate the page cache for evicted inodes but then we call btrfs_wait_ordered_range for every inode as well. It's the right thing to do for regular files but results in incorrect behavior for device inodes for block devices. filemap_fdatawrite_range gets called with inode->i_mapping which gets resolved to the block device inode before getting passed to wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode and ultimately to inode_to_bdi. What happens next depends on whether there's an open file handle associated with the inode. If there is, we write to the block device, which is unexpected behavior. If there isn't, we through normally and inode->i_data is used. We can also end up racing against open/close which can result in crashes when i_mapping points to a block device inode that has been closed. Since there can't be any page cache associated with special file inodes, it's safe to skip the btrfs_wait_ordered_range call entirely and avoid the problem.

commit 005efedf upstream. If a file has a range pointing to a compressed extent, followed by another range that points to the same compressed extent and a read operation attempts to read both ranges (either completely or part of them), the pages that correspond to the second range are incorrectly filled with zeroes. Consider the following example: File layout [0 - 8K] [8K - 24K] | | | | points to extent X, points to extent X, offset 4K, length of 8K offset 0, length 16K [extent X, compressed length = 4K uncompressed length = 16K] If a readpages() call spans the 2 ranges, a single bio to read the extent is submitted - extent_io.c:submit_extent_page() would only create a new bio to cover the second range pointing to the extent if the extent it points to had a different logical address than the extent associated with the first range. This has a consequence of the compressed read end io handler (compression.c:end_compressed_bio_read()) finish once the extent is decompressed into the pages covering the first range, leaving the remaining pages (belonging to the second range) filled with zeroes (done by compression.c:btrfs_clear_biovec_end()). So fix this by submitting the current bio whenever we find a range pointing to a compressed extent that was preceded by a range with a different extent map. This is the simplest solution for this corner case. Making the end io callback populate both ranges (or more, if we have multiple pointing to the same extent) is a much more complex solution since each bio is tightly coupled with a single extent map and the extent maps associated to the ranges pointing to the shared extent can have different offsets and lengths. The following test case for fstests triggers the issue: seq=`basename $0` seqres=$RESULT_DIR/$seq echo "QA output created by $seq" tmp=/tmp/$$ status=1 # failure is the default! trap "_cleanup; exit \$status" 0 1 2 3 15 _cleanup() { rm -f $tmp.* } # get standard environment, filters and checks . ./common/rc . ./common/filter # real QA test starts here _need_to_be_root _supported_fs btrfs _supported_os Linux _require_scratch _require_cloner rm -f $seqres.full test_clone_and_read_compressed_extent() { local mount_opts=$1 _scratch_mkfs >>$seqres.full 2>&1 _scratch_mount $mount_opts # Create a test file with a single extent that is compressed (the # data we write into it is highly compressible no matter which # compression algorithm is used, zlib or lzo). $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0K 4K" \ -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 4K 8K" \ -c "pwrite -S 0xcc 12K 4K" \ $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io # Now clone our extent into an adjacent offset. $CLONER_PROG -s $((4 * 1024)) -d $((16 * 1024)) -l $((8 * 1024)) \ $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # Same as before but for this file we clone the extent into a lower # file offset. $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 8K 4K" \ -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 12K 8K" \ -c "pwrite -S 0xcc 20K 4K" \ $SCRATCH_MNT/bar | _filter_xfs_io $CLONER_PROG -s $((12 * 1024)) -d 0 -l $((8 * 1024)) \ $SCRATCH_MNT/bar $SCRATCH_MNT/bar echo "File digests before unmounting filesystem:" md5sum $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_scratch md5sum $SCRATCH_MNT/bar | _filter_scratch # Evicting the inode or clearing the page cache before reading # again the file would also trigger the bug - reads were returning # all bytes in the range corresponding to the second reference to # the extent with a value of 0, but the correct data was persisted # (it was a bug exclusively in the read path).

commit 5d7c631d upstream. The APIC LVTT register is MMIO mapped but the TSC_DEADLINE register is an MSR. The write to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR is not serializing, so it's not guaranteed that the write to LVTT has reached the APIC before the TSC_DEADLINE MSR is written. In such a case the write to the MSR is ignored and as a consequence the local timer interrupt never fires. The SDM decribes this issue for xAPIC and x2APIC modes. The serialization methods recommended by the SDM differ. xAPIC: "1. Memory-mapped write to LVT Timer Register, setting bits 18:17 to 10b. 2. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR a value much larger than current time-stamp counter. 3. If RDMSR of the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR returns zero, go to step 2. 4. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR the desired deadline." x2APIC: "To allow for efficient access to the APIC registers in x2APIC mode, the serializing semantics of WRMSR are relaxed when writing to the APIC registers. Thus, system software should not use 'WRMSR to APIC registers in x2APIC mode' as a serializing instruction. Read and write accesses to the APIC registers will occur in program order. A WRMSR to an APIC register may complete before all preceding stores are globally visible; software can prevent this by inserting a serializing instruction, an SFENCE, or an MFENCE before the WRMSR." The xAPIC method is to just wait for the memory mapped write to hit the LVTT by checking whether the MSR write has reached the hardware. There is no reason why a proper MFENCE after the memory mapped write would not do the same. Andi Kleen confirmed that MFENCE is sufficient for the xAPIC case as well. Issue MFENCE before writing to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR. This can be done unconditionally as all CPUs which have TSC_DEADLINE also have MFENCE support.

commit 4c17a6d5 upstream. This might lead to local privilege escalation (code execution as kernel) for systems where the following conditions are met: - CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 and CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX are enabled - a cifs filesystem is mounted where: - the mount option "vers" was used and set to a value >=2.0 - the attacker has write access to at least one file on the filesystem To attack this, an attacker would have to guess the target_tcon pointer (but guessing wrong doesn't cause a crash, it just returns an error code) and win a narrow race.

commit e297c939 upstream. This fixes a race which can result in the same virtual IRQ number being assigned to two different MSI interrupts. The most visible consequence of that is usually a warning and stack trace from the sysfs code about an attempt to create a duplicate entry in sysfs. The race happens when one CPU (say CPU 0) is disposing of an MSI while another CPU (say CPU 1) is setting up an MSI. CPU 0 calls (for example) pnv_teardown_msi_irqs(), which calls msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() to indicate that the MSI (i.e. its hardware IRQ number) is no longer in use. Then, before CPU 0 gets to calling irq_dispose_mapping() to free up the virtal IRQ number, CPU 1 comes in and calls msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() to allocate an MSI, and gets the same hardware IRQ number that CPU 0 just freed. CPU 1 then calls irq_create_mapping() to get a virtual IRQ number, which sees that there is currently a mapping for that hardware IRQ number and returns the corresponding virtual IRQ number (which is the same virtual IRQ number that CPU 0 was using). CPU 0 then calls irq_dispose_mapping() and frees that virtual IRQ number. Now, if another CPU comes along and calls irq_create_mapping(), it is likely to get the virtual IRQ number that was just freed, resulting in the same virtual IRQ number apparently being used for two different hardware interrupts. To fix this race, we just move the call to msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() to after the call to irq_dispose_mapping(). Since virq_to_hw() doesn't work for the virtual IRQ number after irq_dispose_mapping() has been called, we need to call it before irq_dispose_mapping() and remember the result for the msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() call. The pattern of calling msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() before irq_dispose_mapping() appears in 5 places under arch/powerpc, and appears to have originated in commit 05af7bd2 ("[POWERPC] MPIC U3/U4 MSI backend") from 2007.

The following snprintf() statement (in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c:efi_md_typeattr_format()) snprintf(pos, size, "|%3s|%2s|%2s|%2s|%3s|%2s|%2s|%2s|%2s]", was producing the following output in the log: | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] |RUN| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]* |RUN| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]* | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] |RUN| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC]* | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] |RUN| | | | | | | |UC] |RUN| | | | | | | |UC] As it turns out, this is caused by incorrect code being emitted for the string() function in lib/vsprintf.c. The following code if (!(spec.flags & LEFT)) { while (len < spec.field_width--) { if (buf < end) *buf = ' '; ++buf; } } for (i = 0; i < len; ++i) { if (buf < end) *buf = *s; ++buf; ++s; } while (len < spec.field_width--) { if (buf < end) *buf = ' '; ++buf; } when called with len == 0, triggers an issue in the GCC SRA optimization pass (Scalar Replacement of Aggregates), which handles promotion of signed struct members incorrectly. This is a known but as yet unresolved issue. (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65932). In this particular case, it is causing the second while loop to be executed erroneously a single time, causing the additional space characters to be printed. So disable the optimization by passing -fno-ipa-sra.

commit a394d635 upstream. Actually, spi_master_put() after spi_alloc_master() must _not_ be followed by kfree(). The memory is already freed with the call to spi_master_put() through spi_master_class, which registers a release function. Calling both spi_master_put() and kfree() results in often nasty (and delayed) crashes elsewhere in the kernel, often in the networking stack. This reverts commit eb4af0f5. Link to patch and concerns: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/3/269 or http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1209.0/00790.html Alexey Klimov: This revert becomes valid after 94c69f76 when spi-imx.c has been fixed and there is no need to call kfree() so comment for spi_alloc_master() should be fixed.

commit 02bc933e upstream. On Intel Baytrail, there is case when interrupt handler get called, no SPI message is captured. The RX FIFO is indeed empty when RX timeout pending interrupt (SSSR_TINT) happens. Use the BIOS version where both HSUART and SPI are on the same IRQ. Both drivers are using IRQF_SHARED when calling the request_irq function. When running two separate and independent SPI and HSUART application that generate data traffic on both components, user will see messages like below on the console: pxa2xx-spi pxa2xx-spi.0: bad message state in interrupt handler This commit will fix this by first checking Receiver Time-out Interrupt, if it is disabled, ignore the request and return without servicing.

Without this length argument, we can read past the end of the iovec in memcpy_toiovec because we have no way of knowing the total length of the iovec's buffers. This is needed for stable kernels where 89c22d8c ("net: Fix skb csum races when peeking") has been backported but that don't have the ioviter conversion, which is almost all the stable trees <= 3.18. This also fixes a kernel crash for NFS servers when the client uses -onfsvers=3,proto=udp to mount the export.

commit 911b79cd upstream. If request_key() is used to find a keyring, only do the search part - don't do the construction part if the keyring was not found by the search. We don't really want keyrings in the negative instantiated state since the rejected/negative instantiation error value in the payload is unioned with keyring metadata. Now the kernel gives an error: request_key("keyring", "#selinux,bdekeyring", "keyring", KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com>

commit f05819df upstream. The following sequence of commands: i=`keyctl add user a a @s` keyctl request2 keyring foo bar @t keyctl unlink $i @s tries to invoke an upcall to instantiate a keyring if one doesn't already exist by that name within the user's keyring set. However, if the upcall fails, the code sets keyring->type_data.reject_error to -ENOKEY or some other error code. When the key is garbage collected, the key destroy function is called unconditionally and keyring_destroy() uses list_empty() on keyring->type_data.link - which is in a union with reject_error. Subsequently, the kernel tries to unlink the keyring from the keyring names list - which oopses like this: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000ffffff8a IP: [<ffffffff8126e051>] keyring_destroy+0x3d/0x88 ...

commit 94c4554b upstream. There appears to be a race between: (1) key_gc_unused_keys() which frees key->security and then calls keyring_destroy() to unlink the name from the name list (2) find_keyring_by_name() which calls key_permission(), thus accessing key->security, on a key before checking to see whether the key usage is 0 (ie. the key is dead and might be cleaned up). Fix this by calling ->destroy() before cleaning up the core key data - including key->security.

commit f648f807 upstream. Commit f8d96052 ("sctp: Enforce retransmission limit during shutdown") fixed a problem with excessive retransmissions in the SHUTDOWN_PENDING by not resetting the association overall_error_count. This allowed the association to better enforce assoc.max_retrans limit. However, the same issue still exists when the association is in SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED state. In this state, HB-ACKs will continue to reset the overall_error_count for the association would extend the lifetime of association unnecessarily. This patch solves this by resetting the overall_error_count whenever the current state is small then SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING. As a small side-effect, we end up also handling SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT and SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_SENT states, but they are not really impacted because we disable Heartbeats in those states.

commit fbb18169 upstream. It was possible for an attacking user to trick root (or another user) into writing his coredumps into an attacker-readable, pre-existing file using rename() or link(), causing the disclosure of secret data from the victim process' virtual memory. Depending on the configuration, it was also possible to trick root into overwriting system files with coredumps. Fix that issue by never writing coredumps into existing files. Requirements for the attack: - The attack only applies if the victim's process has a nonzero RLIMIT_CORE and is dumpable. - The attacker can trick the victim into coredumping into an attacker-writable directory D, either because the core_pattern is relative and the victim's cwd is attacker-writable or because an absolute core_pattern pointing to a world-writable directory is used. - The attacker has one of these: A: on a system with protected_hardlinks=0: execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable file on the same partition as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack takes place. (In practice, there are lots of files that fulfill this condition, e.g. entries in Debian's /var/lib/dpkg/info/.) This does not apply to most Linux systems because most distros set protected_hardlinks=1. B: on a system with protected_hardlinks=1: execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable and attacker-writable file on the same partition as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack takes place. (This seems to be uncommon.) C: on any system, independent of protected_hardlinks: write access to a non-sticky folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable file on the same partition as D (This seems to be uncommon.) The basic idea is that the attacker moves the victim-owned file to where he expects the victim process to dump its core. The victim process dumps its core into the existing file, and the attacker reads the coredump from it. If the attacker can't move the file because he does not have write access to the containing directory, he can instead link the file to a directory he controls, then wait for the original link to the file to be deleted (because the kernel checks that the link count of the corefile is 1). A less reliable variant that requires D to be non-sticky works with link() and does not require deletion of the original link: link() the file into D, but then unlink() it directly before the kernel performs the link count check. On systems with protected_hardlinks=0, this variant allows an attacker to not only gain information from coredumps, but also clobber existing, victim-writable files with coredumps. (This could theoretically lead to a privilege escalation.)

commit c8219906 upstream. In commit f341861f ("task_work: add a scheduling point in task_work_run()") I fixed a latency problem adding a cond_resched() call. Later, commit ac3d0da8 added yet another loop to reverse a list, bringing back the latency spike : I've seen in some cases this loop taking 275 ms, if for example a process with 2,000,000 files is killed. We could add yet another cond_resched() in the reverse loop, or we can simply remove the reversal, as I do not think anything would depend on order of task_work_add() submitted works.

commit e41b0bed upstream. We previously register IPPROTO_ROUTING offload under inet6_add_offload(), but in error path, we try to unregister it with inet_del_offload(). This doesn't seem correct, it should actually be inet6_del_offload(), also ipv6_exthdrs_offload_exit() from that commit seems rather incorrect (it also uses rthdr_offload twice), but it got removed entirely later on.
