commit f0bf0bd0 upstream. This problem was taken care of three times already in * b0de59b5 (TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write), * 37b7f3c7 (TTY: fix atime/mtime regression), and * b0b88565 (tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take three) But it still misses one point. As John Paul correctly points out, we do not care about setting date. If somebody ever changes wall time backwards (by mistake for example), tty timestamps are never updated until the original wall time passes. So check the absolute difference of times and if it large than "8 seconds or so", always update the time. That means we will update immediatelly when changing time. Ergo, CAP_SYS_TIME can foul the check, but it was always that way. Thanks John for serving me this so nicely debugged. Signed-off-by:

commit b8cb91e0 upstream. The xhci in Intel Sunrisepoint and Cherryview platforms need a driver workaround for a Stuck PME that might either block PME events in suspend, or create spurious PME events preventing runtime suspend. Workaround is to clear a internal PME flag, BIT(28) in a vendor specific PMCTRL register at offset 0x80a4, in both suspend resume callbacks Without this, xhci connected usb devices might never be able to wake up the system from suspend, or prevent device from going to suspend (xhci d3) Signed-off-by:

commit 45ba2154 upstream. When a control transfer has a short data stage, the xHCI controller generates two transfer events: a COMP_SHORT_TX event that specifies the untransferred amount, and a COMP_SUCCESS event. But when the data stage is not short, only the COMP_SUCCESS event occurs. Therefore, xhci-hcd must set urb->actual_length to urb->transfer_buffer_length while processing the COMP_SUCCESS event, unless urb->actual_length was set already by a previous COMP_SHORT_TX event. The driver checks this by seeing whether urb->actual_length == 0, but this alone is the wrong test, as it is entirely possible for a short transfer to have an urb->actual_length = 0. This patch changes the xhci driver to rely on a new td->urb_length_set flag, which is set to true when a COMP_SHORT_TX event is received and the URB length updated at that stage. This fixes a bug which affected the HSO plugin, which relies on URBs with urb->actual_length == 0 to halt re-submitting the RX URB in the control endpoint. Signed-off-by:

commit 3a8b36f3 upstream. When using the fast file fsync code path we can miss the fact that new writes happened since the last file fsync and therefore return without waiting for the IO to finish and write the new extents to the fsync log. Here's an example scenario where the fsync will miss the fact that new file data exists that wasn't yet durably persisted: 1. fs_info->last_trans_committed == N - 1 and current transaction is transaction N (fs_info->generation == N); 2. do a buffered write; 3. fsync our inode, this clears our inode's full sync flag, starts an ordered extent and waits for it to complete - when it completes at btrfs_finish_ordered_io(), the inode's last_trans is set to the value N (via btrfs_update_inode_fallback -> btrfs_update_inode -> btrfs_set_inode_last_trans); 4. transaction N is committed, so fs_info->last_trans_committed is now set to the value N and fs_info->generation remains with the value N; 5. do another buffered write, when this happens btrfs_file_write_iter sets our inode's last_trans to the value N + 1 (that is fs_info->generation + 1 == N + 1); 6. transaction N + 1 is started and fs_info->generation now has the value N + 1; 7. transaction N + 1 is committed, so fs_info->last_trans_committed is set to the value N + 1; 8. fsync our inode - because it doesn't have the full sync flag set, we only start the ordered extent, we don't wait for it to complete (only in a later phase) therefore its last_trans field has the value N + 1 set previously by btrfs_file_write_iter(), and so we have: inode->last_trans <= fs_info->last_trans_committed (N + 1) (N + 1) Which made us not log the last buffered write and exit the fsync handler immediately, returning success (0) to user space and resulting in data loss after a crash. This can actually be triggered deterministically and the following excerpt from a testcase I made for xfstests triggers the issue. It moves a dummy file across directories and then fsyncs the old parent directory - this is just to trigger a transaction commit, so moving files around isn't directly related to the issue but it was chosen because running 'sync' for example does more than just committing the current transaction, as it flushes/waits for all file data to be persisted. The issue can also happen at random periods, since the transaction kthread periodicaly commits the current transaction (about every 30 seconds by default). The body of the test is: _scratch_mkfs >> $seqres.full 2>&1 _init_flakey _mount_flakey # Create our main test file 'foo', the one we check for data loss. # By doing an fsync against our file, it makes btrfs clear the 'needs_full_sync' # bit from its flags (btrfs inode specific flags). $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 8K" \ -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io # Now create one other file and 2 directories. We will move this second file # from one directory to the other later because it forces btrfs to commit its # currently open transaction if we fsync the old parent directory. This is # necessary to trigger the data loss bug that affected btrfs. mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1 touch $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1/bar mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_2 # Make sure everything is durably persisted. sync # Write more 8Kb of data to our file. $XFS_IO_PROG -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 8K 8K" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io # Move our 'bar' file into a new directory. mv $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1/bar $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_2/bar # Fsync our first directory. Because it had a file moved into some other # directory, this made btrfs commit the currently open transaction. This is # a condition necessary to trigger the data loss bug. $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1 # Now fsync our main test file. If the fsync succeeds, we expect the 8Kb of # data we wrote previously to be persisted and available if a crash happens. # This did not happen with btrfs, because of the transaction commit that # happened when we fsynced the parent directory. $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # Simulate a crash/power loss. _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES _unmount_flakey _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES _mount_flakey # Now check that all data we wrote before are available. echo "File content after log replay:" od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo status=0 exit The expected golden output for the test, which is what we get with this fix applied (or when running against ext3/4 and xfs), is: wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 0 XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec) wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 8192 XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec) File content after log replay: 0000000 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa * 0020000 bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb * 0040000 Without this fix applied, the output shows the test file does not have the second 8Kb extent that we successfully fsynced: wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 0 XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec) wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 8192 XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec) File content after log replay: 0000000 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa * 0020000 So fix this by skipping the fsync only if we're doing a full sync and if the inode's last_trans is <= fs_info->last_trans_committed, or if the inode is already in the log. Also remove setting the inode's last_trans in btrfs_file_write_iter since it's useless/unreliable. Also because btrfs_file_write_iter no longer sets inode->last_trans to fs_info->generation + 1, don't set last_trans to 0 if we bail out and don't bail out if last_trans is 0, otherwise something as simple as the following example wouldn't log the second write on the last fsync: 1. write to file 2. fsync file 3. fsync file |--> btrfs_inode_in_log() returns true and it set last_trans to 0 4. write to file |--> btrfs_file_write_iter() no longers sets last_trans, so it remained with a value of 0 5. fsync |--> inode->last_trans == 0, so it bails out without logging the second write A test case for xfstests will be sent soon.

commit 956421fb upstream. 'ret_from_fork' checks TIF_IA32 to determine whether 'pt_regs' and the related state make sense for 'ret_from_sys_call'. This is entirely the wrong check. TS_COMPAT would make a little more sense, but there's really no point in keeping this optimization at all. This fixes a return to the wrong user CS if we came from int 0x80 in a 64-bit task.

commit 6d65261a upstream. eCryptfs can't be aware of what to expect when after passing an arbitrary ioctl command through to the lower filesystem. The ioctl command may trigger an action in the lower filesystem that is incompatible with eCryptfs. One specific example is when one attempts to use the Btrfs clone ioctl command when the source file is in the Btrfs filesystem that eCryptfs is mounted on top of and the destination fd is from a new file created in the eCryptfs mount. The ioctl syscall incorrectly returns success because the command is passed down to Btrfs which thinks that it was able to do the clone operation. However, the result is an empty eCryptfs file. This patch allows the trim, {g,s}etflags, and {g,s}etversion ioctl commands through and then copies up the inode metadata from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode to catch any changes made to the lower inode's metadata. Those five ioctl commands are mostly common across all filesystems but the whitelist may need to be further pruned in the future. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93691 https://launchpad.net/bugs/1305335Signed-off-by:

commit b3cffac0 upstream. Currently the guest exit trace event saves the VCPU pointer to the structure, and the guest PC is retrieved by dereferencing it when the event is printed rather than directly from the trace record. This isn't safe as the printing may occur long afterwards, after the PC has changed and potentially after the VCPU has been freed. Usually this results in the same (wrong) PC being printed for multiple trace events. It also isn't portable as userland has no way to access the VCPU data structure when interpreting the trace record itself. Lets save the actual PC in the structure so that the correct value is accessible later. Fixes: 669e846e ("KVM/MIPS32: MIPS arch specific APIs for KVM") Signed-off-by:

commit abe46b89 upstream. Reading of analog input channels by the `INSN_READ` comedi instruction is broken for all except channel 0. `pci171x_ai_insn_read()` calls `pci171x_ai_read_sample()` with the wrong value for the third parameter. It is supposed to be the current index in a channel list (which is always of length 1 in this case, so the index should be 0), but instead it is passing the actual channel number. `pci171x_ai_read_sample()` checks the channel number encoded in the raw sample value read from the hardware matches the channel number stored in the specified index of the previously set up channel list and returns `-ENODATA` if it doesn't match. Since the index should always be 0 in this case, the match will fail unless the channel number is also 0. Fix it by passing 0 as the channel index. Note that when the bug first appeared, it was `pci171x_ai_dropout()` that was called with the wrong parameter value. `pci171x_ai_dropout()` got replaced with `pci171x_ai_read_sample()` in commit 7fd2dae2 ("staging: comedi: adv_pci1710: introduce pci171x_ai_read_sample()").

While the fix is trivial, we also need to adjust the ARC kernel stack unwinder to not use KSTK_SP and friends any more. Reported-and-suggested-by:

commit 9c1c98a3 upstream. The current minstrel_ht rate control behavior is somewhat optimistic in trying to find optimum TX rate. While this is usually fine for normal Data frames, there are cases where a more conservative set of retry parameters would be beneficial to make the connection more robust. EAPOL frames are critical to the authentication and especially the EAPOL-Key message 4/4 (the last message in the 4-way handshake) is important to get through to the AP. If that message is lost, the only recovery mechanism in many cases is to reassociate with the AP and start from scratch. This can often be avoided by trying to send the frame with more conservative rate and/or with more link layer retries. In most cases, minstrel_ht is currently using the initial EAPOL-Key frames for probing higher rates and this results in only five link layer transmission attempts (one at high(ish) MCS and four at MCS0). While this works with most APs, it looks like there are some deployed APs that may have issues with the EAPOL frames using HT MCS immediately after association. Similarly, there may be issues in cases where the signal strength or radio environment is not good enough to be able to get frames through even at couple of MCS 0 tries. The best approach for this would likely to be to reduce the TX rate for the last rate (3rd rate parameter in the set) to a low basic rate (say, 6 Mbps on 5 GHz and 2 or 5.5 Mbps on 2.4 GHz), but doing that cleanly requires some more effort. For now, we can start with a simple one-liner that forces the minimum rate to be used for EAPOL frames similarly how the TX rate is selected for the IEEE 802.11 Management frames. This does result in a small extra latency added to the cases where the AP would be able to receive the higher rate, but taken into account how small number of EAPOL frames are used, this is likely to be insignificant. A future optimization in the minstrel_ht design can also allow this patch to be reverted to get back to the more optimized initial TX rate. It should also be noted that many drivers that do not use minstrel as the rate control algorithm are already doing similar workarounds by forcing the lowest TX rate to be used for EAPOL frames.

commit 7ed620bb upstream. While adding support loading kernel and initrd above 4G to grub2 in legacy mode, I was referring to efi_high_alloc(). That will allocate buffer for kernel and then initrd, and initrd will use kernel buffer start as limit. During testing found two buffers will be overlapped when initrd size is very big like 400M. It turns out efi_high_alloc() boundary checking is not right. end - size will be the new start, and should not compare new start with max, we need to make sure end is smaller than max. [ Basically, with the current efi_high_alloc() code it's possible to allocate memory above 'max', because efi_high_alloc() doesn't check that the tail of the allocation is below 'max'. If you have an EFI memory map with a single entry that looks like so, [0xc0000000-0xc0004000] And want to allocate 0x3000 bytes below 0xc0003000 the current code will allocate [0xc0001000-0xc0004000], not [0xc0000000-0xc0003000] like you would expect. - Matt ] Signed-off-by:

commit f0c2b681 upstream. When a signal is delivered, the information in the siginfo structure is copied to userspace. Good security practice dicatates that the unused fields in this structure should be initialized to 0 so that random kernel stack data isn't exposed to the user. This patch adds such an initialization to the two places where usbfs raises signals. Signed-off-by:

commit 6596a926 upstream. Include the high order bit fields for Max scratchpad buffers when calculating how many scratchpad buffers are needed. I'm suprised this hasn't caused more issues, we never allocated more than 32 buffers even if xhci needed more. Either we got lucky and xhci never really used past that area, or then we got enough zeroed dma memory anyway. Should be backported as far back as possible Reported-by:

commit 1e7e4fb6 upstream. The commit 97374792 ("usb: host: xhci-plat: add support for the Armada 375/38x XHCI controllers") extended the xhci-plat driver to support the Armada 375/38x SoCs, mostly by adding a quirk configuring the MBUS window. However, that quirk was run before the clock the controllers needs has been enabled. This usually worked because the clock was first enabled by the bootloader, and left as such until the driver is probe, where it tries to access the MBUS configuration registers before enabling the clock. Things get messy when EPROBE_DEFER is involved during the probe, since as part of its error path, the driver will rightfully disable the clock. When the driver will be reprobed, it will retry to access the MBUS registers, but this time with the clock disabled, which hangs forever. Fix this by running the quirks after the clock has been enabled by the driver. Signed-off-by:

commit 4ff6f8e6 upstream. This has been broken for a long time: it broke first in 2.6.35, then was almost fixed in 2.6.36 but this one-liner slipped through the cracks. The bug shows up as an infinite loop in Windows 7 (and newer) boot on 32-bit hosts without EPT. Windows uses CMPXCHG8B to write to page tables, which causes a page fault if running without EPT; the emulator is then called from kvm_mmu_page_fault. The loop then happens if the higher 4 bytes are not 0; the common case for this is that the NX bit (bit 63) is 1. Fixes: 6550e1f1 Fixes: 16518d5aReported-by:

commit a0456399 upstream. The "Extended Compat ID OS Feature Descriptor Specification" does not require the (sub)compatible ids to be NUL-terminated, because they are placed in a fixed-size buffer and only unused parts of it should contain NULs. If the buffer is fully utilized, there is no place for NULs. Consequently, the code which uses desc->ext_compat_id never expects the data contained to be NUL terminated. If the compatible id is stored after sub-compatible id, and the compatible id is full length (8 bytes), the (useless) NUL terminator overwrites the first byte of the sub-compatible id. If the sub-compatible id is full length (8 bytes), the (useless) NUL terminator ends up out of the buffer. The situation can happen in the RNDIS function, where the buffer is a part of struct f_rndis_opts. The next member of struct f_rndis_opts is a mutex, so its first byte gets overwritten. The said byte is a part of a mutex'es member which contains the information on whether the muext is locked or not. This can lead to a deadlock, because, in a configfs-composed gadget when a function is linked into a configuration with config_usb_cfg_link(), usb_get_function() is called, which then calls rndis_alloc(), which tries locking the same mutex and (wrongly) finds it already locked. This patch eliminates NUL terminating of the (sub)compatible id. Fixes: da424314: "usb: gadget: configfs: OS Extended Compatibility descriptors support" Reported-by:
