commit adf68957 upstream. Integration testing with a BIOS that generates injected health event notifications fails to communicate those events to userspace. The nfit driver neglects to link the ACPI DIMM device with the necessary driver data so acpi_nvdimm_notify() fails this lookup: nfit_mem = dev_get_drvdata(dev); if (nfit_mem && nfit_mem->flags_attr) sysfs_notify_dirent(nfit_mem->flags_attr); Add the necessary linkage when installing the notification handler and clean it up when the nfit driver instance is torn down.

commit bb82e0b4 upstream. The commit f6f82851 ("pstore: pass allocated memory region back to caller") changed the check of the return value from erst_read() in erst_reader() in the following way: if (len == -ENOENT) goto skip; - else if (len < 0) { - rc = -1; + else if (len < sizeof(*rcd)) { + rc = -EIO; goto out; This introduced another bug: since the comparison with sizeof() is cast to unsigned, a negative len value doesn't hit any longer. As a result, when an error is returned from erst_read(), the code falls through, and it may eventually lead to some weird thing like memory corruption. This patch adds the negative error value check more explicitly for addressing the issue. Fixes: f6f82851 (pstore: pass allocated memory region back to caller) Tested-by:

From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Reject programs that compute wildly out-of-bounds stack pointers. Otherwise, pointers can be computed with an offset that doesn't fit into an `int`, causing security issues in the stack memory access check (as well as signed integer overflow during offset addition).

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> [ Upstream commit c131187d ] when the verifier detects that register contains a runtime constant and it's compared with another constant it will prune exploration of the branch that is guaranteed not to be taken at runtime. This is all correct, but malicious program may be constructed in such a way that it always has a constant comparison and the other branch is never taken under any conditions. In this case such path through the program will not be explored by the verifier. It won't be taken at run-time either, but since all instructions are JITed the malicious program may cause JITs to complain about using reserved fields, etc. To fix the issue we have to track the instructions explored by the verifier and sanitize instructions that are dead at run time with NOPs. We cannot reject such dead code, since llvm generates it for valid C code, since it doesn't do as much data flow analysis as the verifier does.

commit 409fcace upstream. Fix final phase of <CLASS|MADDF|MSUBF|MAX|MIN|MAXA|MINA>.<D|S> emulation. Provide proper generation of SIGFPE signal and updating debugfs FP exception stats in cases of any exception flags set in preceding phases of emulation. CLASS.<D|S> instruction may generate "Unimplemented Operation" FP exception. <MADDF|MSUBF>.<D|S> instructions may generate "Inexact", "Unimplemented Operation", "Invalid Operation", "Overflow", and "Underflow" FP exceptions. <MAX|MIN|MAXA|MINA>.<D|S> instructions can generate "Unimplemented Operation" and "Invalid Operation" FP exceptions. The proper final processing of the cases when any FP exception flag is set is achieved by replacing "break" statement with "goto copcsr" statement. With such solution, this patch brings the final phase of emulation of the above instructions consistent with the one corresponding to the previously implemented emulation of other related FPU instructions (ADD, SUB, etc.).

commit db2b0332 upstream. The DT specifies a threshold of 65000, we setup the register with a value in the temperature resolution for the controller, 64656. When we reach 64656, the interrupt fires, the interrupt is disabled. Then the irq thread runs and calls thermal_zone_device_update() which will call in turn hisi_thermal_get_temp(). The function will look if the temperature decreased, assuming it was more than 65000, but that is not the case because the current temperature is 64656 (because of the rounding when setting the threshold). This condition being true, we re-enable the interrupt which fires immediately after exiting the irq thread. That happens again and again until the temperature goes to more than 65000. Potentially, there is here an interrupt storm if the temperature stabilizes at this temperature. A very unlikely case but possible. In any case, it does not make sense to handle dozens of alarm interrupt for nothing. Fix this by rounding the threshold value to the controller resolution so the check against the threshold is consistent with the one set in the controller. Signed-off-by:

commit c176b10b upstream. The interrupt for the temperature threshold is not enabled at the end of the probe function, enable it after the setup is complete. On the other side, the irq_enabled is not correctly set as we are checking if the interrupt is masked where 'yes' means irq_enabled=false. irq_get_irqchip_state(data->irq, IRQCHIP_STATE_MASKED, &data->irq_enabled); As we are always enabling the interrupt, it is pointless to check if the interrupt is masked or not, just set irq_enabled to 'true'.

[ Upstream commit f187851b ] When failing to enter broadcast timer mode for an idle state that requires it, a new state is selected that does not require broadcast, but the broadcast variable remains set. This causes tick_broadcast_exit to be called despite not having entered broadcast mode. This causes the WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled()) to trigger in some cases. It does not appear to cause problems for code today, but seems to violate the interface so should be fixed. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 1f372c7b ] The NS for DAD are sent on admin up as long as a valid qdisc is found. A race condition exists by which these packets will not egress the interface if the operational state of the lower device is not yet up. The solution is to delay DAD until the link is operationally up according to RFC2863. Rather than only doing this, follow the existing code checks by deferring IPv6 device initialization altogether. The fix allows DAD on devices like tunnels that are controlled by userspace control plane. The fix has no impact on regular deployments, but means that there is no IPv6 connectivity until the port has been opened in the case of port-based network access control, which should be desirable.

[ Upstream commit 17a91809 ] When we process VF mailboxes, the driver is likely going to also queue up messages to the switch manager. This process merely queues up the FIFO, but doesn't actually begin the transmission process. Because we hold the mailbox lock during this VF processing, the PF<->SM mailbox is not getting processed at this time. Ensure that we actually process the PF<->SM mailbox in between each PF<->VF mailbox. This should ensure prompt transmission of the messages queued up after each VF message is received and handled.

[ Upstream commit 52318497 ] With virtual PCI-Express chipsets, we now see userspace/guest drivers trying to match the physical MPS setting to a virtual downstream port. Of course a lone physical device surrounded by virtual interconnects cannot make a correct decision for a proper MPS setting. Instead, let's virtualize the MPS control register so that writes through to hardware are disallowed. Userspace drivers like QEMU assume they can write anything to the device and we'll filter out anything dangerous. Since mismatched MPS can lead to AER and other faults, let's add it to the kernel side rather than relying on userspace virtualization to handle it. Signed-off-by:

Likely because we do not support minimum rates, the declaration mis-ordered the "unused" parameter, which causes warnings when analyzed with cppcheck. Fix this warning by properly declaring the min_rate and max_rate variables in the declaration and definition (rather than using "unused"). Also rename "rate" to max_rate so as to clarify that we only support setting the maximum rate. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 86acc790 ] Previously, if an non-fatal error was reported by an endpoint, we called report_error_detected() for the endpoint, every sibling on the bus, and their descendents. If any of them did not implement the .error_detected() method, do_recovery() failed, leaving all these devices unrecovered. For example, the system described in the bugzilla below has two devices: 0000:74:02.0 [19e5:a230] SAS controller, driver has .error_detected() 0000:74:03.0 [19e5:a235] SATA controller, driver lacks .error_detected() When a device such as 74:02.0 reported a non-fatal error, do_recovery() failed because 74:03.0 lacked an .error_detected() method. But per PCIe r3.1, sec 6.2.2.2.2, such an error does not compromise the Link and does not affect 74:03.0: Non-fatal errors are uncorrectable errors which cause a particular transaction to be unreliable but the Link is otherwise fully functional. Isolating Non-fatal from Fatal errors provides Requester/Receiver logic in a device or system management software the opportunity to recover from the error without resetting the components on the Link and disturbing other transactions in progress. Devices not associated with the transaction in error are not impacted by the error. Report non-fatal errors only to the endpoint that reported them. We really want to check for AER_NONFATAL here, but the current code structure doesn't allow that. Looking for pci_channel_io_normal is the best we can do now.
