commit fed33afc upstream. Currently, we disable pm_runtime before all register accesses are done, this is dangerous and might lead to abort exceptions due to the driver trying to access a register which is clocked by a clock which was long gated. Fix that by moving pm_runtime_put_sync() and pm_runtime_disable() as the last thing we do before returning from our ->remove() method.

commit 2da78092 upstream. Releases the dev_t minor when all references are closed to prevent another device from acquiring the same major/minor. Since the partition's release may be invoked from call_rcu's soft-irq context, the ext_dev_idr's mutex had to be replaced with a spinlock so as not so sleep.

commit 61a734d3 upstream. Always freeze processes when suspending and thaw processes when resuming to prevent a race noticeable with HVM guests. This prevents a deadlock where the khubd kthread (which is designed to be freezable) acquires a usb device lock and then tries to allocate memory which requires the disk which hasn't been resumed yet. Meanwhile, the xenwatch thread deadlocks waiting for the usb device lock. Freezing processes fixes this because the khubd thread is only thawed after the xenwatch thread finishes resuming all the devices.

commit 049255f5 upstream. Sierra Wireless Direct IP devices using the 68A3 product ID can be configured for modes including a CDC ECM class function. The known example uses interface numbers 12 and 13 for the ECM control and data interfaces respectively, consistent with CDC MBIM function interface numbering on other Sierra devices. It seems cleaner to restrict this driver to the ff/ff/ff vendor specific interfaces rather than increasing the already long interface number blacklist. This should be more future proof if Sierra adds more class functions using interface numbers not yet in the blacklist.

commit 849f5169 upstream. If pcpu_map_pages() fails midway, it unmaps the already mapped pages. Currently, it doesn't flush tlb after the partial unmapping. This may be okay in most cases as the established mapping hasn't been used at that point but it can go wrong and when it goes wrong it'd be extremely difficult to track down.

commit f0d27965 upstream. When pcpu_alloc_pages() fails midway, pcpu_free_pages() is invoked to free what has already been allocated. The invocation is across the whole requested range and pcpu_free_pages() will try to free all non-NULL pages; unfortunately, this is incorrect as pcpu_get_pages_and_bitmap(), unlike what its comment suggests, doesn't clear the pages array and thus the array may have entries from the previous invocations making the partial failure path free incorrect pages. Fix it by open-coding the partial freeing of the already allocated pages. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com>

commit bbe1c274 upstream. The __init annotations for the DMI callback functions are wrong as this code can be called even after the module has been initialized, e.g. like this: # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/remove # modprobe i915 # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan The first command will remove the PCI device from the kernel's device list so the second command won't see it right away. But as it registers a PCI driver it'll see it on the third command. If the system happens to match one of the DMI table entries we'll try to call a function in long released memory and generate an Oops, at best. Fix this by removing the bogus annotation. Modpost should have caught that one but it ignores section reference mismatches from the .rodata section. :/ Fixes: 25e341cf ("drm/i915: quirk away broken OpRegion VBT") Fixes: 8ca4013d ("CHROMIUM: i915: Add DMI override to skip CRT...")

Mark Brown authored
commit 5844a8b9 upstream. A previous over-zealous factorisation of code means that we only treat registers as volatile if they are readable. For most devices this is fine since normally most registers can be read and volatility implies readability but for format_write() devices where there is no readback from the hardware and we use volatility to mean simply uncacheability this means that we end up treating all registers as cacheble. A bigger refactoring of the code to clarify this is in order but as a fix make a minimal change and only check readability when checking volatility if there is no format_write() operation defined for the device.

commit 614a80e4 upstream. In the early days, we had some special handling for the KVM_EXIT_S390_SIEIC exit, but this was gone in 2009 with commit d7b0b5eb (KVM: s390: Make psw available on all exits, not just a subset). Now this switch statement is just a sanity check for userspace not messing with the kvm_run structure. Unfortunately, this allows userspace to trigger a kernel BUG. Let's just remove this switch statement.

commit 7ba3ec57 upstream. Commit 8e3dffc6 "Ext2: mark inode dirty after the function dquot_free_block_nodirty is called" unveiled a bug in __ext2_get_block() called from ext2_get_xip_mem(). That function called ext2_get_block() mistakenly asking it to map 0 blocks while 1 was intended. Before the above mentioned commit things worked out fine by luck but after that commit we started returning that we allocated 0 blocks while we in fact allocated 1 block and thus allocation was looping until all blocks in the filesystem were exhausted. Fix the problem by properly asking for one block and also add assertion in ext2_get_blocks() to catch similar problems.

commit 7400ce7e (v3.4.92-76-g7400ce7e) was a backport of commit ebebd49a upstream ("8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port") However, in the context of 3.4.x kernels, the pci setup code was expecting a struct uart_port and not a struct uart_8250_port, leading to the following concerning warnings: drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c: In function ‘pci_brcm_trumanage_setup’: drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1086:2: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘pci_default_setup’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default] int ret = pci_default_setup(priv, board, port, idx); ^ drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1036:1: note: expected ‘struct uart_port *’ but argument is of type ‘struct uart_8250_port *’ pci_default_setup(struct serial_private *priv, ^ drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c: At top level: drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1746:3: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default] .setup = pci_brcm_trumanage_setup, ^ drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1746:3: warning: (near initialization for ‘pci_serial_quirks[56].setup’) [enabled by default] I'd also expect the initialization to not function correctly, and perhaps dereference random garbage due to this. Since the uart_port is a field within the uart_8250_port, the adaptation to fix these warnings is a straightforward removal of a layer of indirection.

commit e7b691b0 upstream. slab_node() could access current->mempolicy from interrupt context. However there's a race condition during exit where the mempolicy is first freed and then the pointer zeroed. Using this from interrupts seems bogus anyways. The interrupt will interrupt a random process and therefore get a random mempolicy. Many times, this will be idle's, which noone can change. Just disable this here and always use local for slab from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit which always passed the same argument. I believe the original mempolicy code did that in fact, so it's likely a regression. v2: send version with correct logic v3: simplify. fix typo.

commit 2c32c65e upstream. On revisions of Cortex-A15 prior to r3p3, a CLREX instruction at PL1 may falsely trigger a watchpoint exception, leading to potential data aborts during exception return and/or livelock. This patch resolves the issue in the following ways: - Replacing our uses of CLREX with a dummy STREX sequence instead (as we did for v6 CPUs). - Removing the clrex code from v7_exit_coherency_flush and derivatives, since this only exists as a minor performance improvement when non-cached exclusives are in use (Linux doesn't use these). Benchmarking on a variety of ARM cores revealed no measurable performance difference with this change applied, so the change is performed unconditionally and no new Kconfig entry is added.

commit 85868313 upstream. The ARMv6 and ARMv7 early abort handlers clear the exclusive monitors upon entry to the kernel, but this is redundant: - We clear the monitors on every exception return since commit 200b812d ("Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an exception"), so this is not necessary to ensure the monitors are cleared before returning from a fault handler. - Any dummy STREX will target a temporary scratch area in memory, and may succeed or fail without corrupting useful data. Its status value will not be used. - Any other STREX in the kernel must be preceded by an LDREX, which will initialise the monitors consistently and will not depend on the earlier state of the monitors. Therefore we have no reason to care about the initial state of the exclusive monitors when a data abort is taken, and clearing the monitors prior to exception return (as we already do) is sufficient. This patch removes the redundant clearing of the exclusive monitors from the early abort handlers.
