commit 9899d11f upstream. putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee does SAVE_REST again. set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the logic. As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace() call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths. Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before access_process_vm(). While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state(). Reported-by:

commit 910ffdb1 upstream. Cleanup and preparation for the next change. signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the necessary mask. Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up() which adds __TASK_TRACED. This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request() even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set. Signed-off-by:

commit 95cf00fa upstream. Afaics the usage of update_debugctlmsr() and TIF_BLOCKSTEP in step.c was always very wrong. 1. update_debugctlmsr() was simply unneeded. The child sleeps TASK_TRACED, __switch_to_xtra(next_p => child) should notice TIF_BLOCKSTEP and set/clear DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF after resume if needed. 2. It is wrong. The state of DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF bit in CPU register should always match the state of current's TIF_BLOCKSTEP bit. 3. Even get_debugctlmsr() + update_debugctlmsr() itself does not look right. Irq can change other bits in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR register or the caller can be preempted in between. 4. It is not safe to play with TIF_BLOCKSTEP if task != current. DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF and TIF_BLOCKSTEP should always match each other if the task is running. The tracee is stopped but it can be SIGKILL'ed right before set/clear_tsk_thread_flag(). However, now that uprobes uses user_enable_single_step(current) we can't simply remove update_debugctlmsr(). So this patch adds the additional "task == current" check and disables irqs to avoid the race with interrupts/preemption. Unfortunately this patch doesn't solve the last problem, we need another fix. Probably we should teach ptrace_stop() to set/clear single/block stepping after resume. And afaics there is yet another problem: perf can play with MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR from nmi, this obviously means that even __switch_to_xtra() has problems. Signed-off-by:

commit fd7b9270 upstream. D-Link DWA-125/B1 is a relatively new USB Wi-Fi adapter, using a Ralink chipset supported by the rt2800usb driver. Currently, to work around the problem (it's missing in all present kernel versions, up to and including 3.7.x), I had to add this to /etc/rc.local: echo 2001 3c1e >> /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id After that, the device works without problems. Been using it for over a week with no bugs in sight. The attached patch is trivial and simply adds the new USB ID to the list of devices handled by rt2800usb. Signed-off-by:

commit a9bae189 upstream. There exists a situation when GC can work in background alone without any other filesystem activity during significant time. The nilfs_clean_segments() method calls nilfs_segctor_construct() that updates superblocks in the case of NILFS_SC_SUPER_ROOT and THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flags are set. But when GC is working alone the nilfs_clean_segments() is called with unset THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag. As a result, the update of superblocks doesn't occurred all this time and in the case of SPOR superblocks keep very old values of last super root placement. SYMPTOMS: Trying to mount a NILFS2 volume after SPOR in such environment ends with very long mounting time (it can achieve about several hours in some cases). REPRODUCING PATH: 1. It needs to use external USB HDD, disable automount and doesn't make any additional filesystem activity on the NILFS2 volume. 2. Generate temporary file with size about 100 - 500 GB (for example, dd if=/dev/zero of=<file_name> bs=1073741824 count=200). The size of file defines duration of GC working. 3. Then it needs to delete file. 4. Start GC manually by means of command "nilfs-clean -p 0". When you start GC by means of such way then, at the end, superblocks is updated by once. So, for simulation of SPOR, it needs to wait sometime (15 - 40 minutes) and simply switch off USB HDD manually. 5. Switch on USB HDD again and try to mount NILFS2 volume. As a result, NILFS2 volume will mount during very long time. REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% FIX: This patch adds checking that superblocks need to update and set THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag before nilfs_clean_segments() call. Reported-by:

commit fd5d93a0 upstream. If the requested number of DWs on the ring is larger than the size of the ring itself, return an error. In testing with large VM updates, we've seen crashes when we try and allocate more space on the ring than the total size of the ring without checking. This prevents the crash but for large VM updates or bo moves of very large buffers, we will need to break the transaction down into multiple batches. I have patches to use IBs for the next kernel.

commit 3e619d04 upstream. This patch (as1654) fixes a very old bug in ehci-hcd, connected with scheduling of periodic split transfers. The calculations for full/low-speed bus usage are all carried out after the correction for bit-stuffing has been applied, but the values in the max_tt_usecs array assume it hasn't been. The array should allow for allocation of up to 90% of the bus capacity, which is 900 us, not 780 us. The symptom caused by this bug is that any isochronous transfer to a full-speed device with a maxpacket size larger than about 980 bytes is always rejected with a -ENOSPC error. Signed-off-by:

commit 8a7d7cbf upstream. A scan request is split into multiple scan commands queued in scan_pending_q. Each scan command will be sent to firmware and its response is handlded one after another. If any error is detected while parsing IE in command response buffer the remaining data will be ignored and error is returned. We should check if there is any more scan commands pending in the queue before returning error. This ensures that we will call cfg80211_scan_done if this is the last scan command, or send next scan command in scan_pending_q to firmware. Signed-off-by:

commit aa7f6730 upstream. When the system has multiple domains do_sched_rt_period_timer() can run on any CPU and may iterate over all rt_rq in cpu_online_mask. This means when balance_runtime() is run for a given rt_rq that rt_rq may be in a different rd than the current processor. Thus if we use smp_processor_id() to get rd in do_balance_runtime() we may borrow runtime from a rt_rq that is not part of our rd. This changes do_balance_runtime to get the rd from the passed in rt_rq ensuring that we borrow runtime only from the correct rd for the given rt_rq. This fixes a BUG at kernel/sched/rt.c:687! in __disable_runtime when we try reclaim runtime lent to other rt_rq but runtime has been lent to a rt_rq in another rd. Signed-off-by:

commit f18f8ed2 upstream. To calculate the TD size for a particular TRB in an isoc TD, we need know the endpoint's max packet size. Isochronous endpoints also encode the number of additional service opportunities in their wMaxPacketSize field. The TD size calculation did not mask off those bits before using the field. This resulted in incorrect TD size information for isochronous TRBs when an URB frame buffer crossed a 64KB boundary. For example: - an isoc endpoint has 2 additional service opportunites and a max packet size of 1020 bytes - a frame transfer buffer contains 3060 bytes - one frame buffer crosses a 64KB boundary, and must be split into one 1276 byte TRB, and one 1784 byte TRB. The TD size is is the number of packets that remain to be transferred for a TD after processing all the max packet sized packets in the current TRB and all previous TRBs. For this TD, the number of packets to be transferred is (3060 / 1020), or 3. The first TRB contains 1276 bytes, which means it contains one full packet, and a 256 byte remainder. After processing all the max packet-sized packets in the first TRB, the host will have 2 packets left to transfer. The old code would calculate the TD size for the first TRB as: total packet count = DIV_ROUND_UP (TD length / endpoint wMaxPacketSize) total packet count - (first TRB length / endpoint wMaxPacketSize) The math should have been: total packet count = DIV_ROUND_UP (3060 / 1020) = 3 3 - (1276 / 1020) = 2 Since the old code didn't mask off the additional service interval bits from the wMaxPacketSize field, the math ended up as total packet count = DIV_ROUND_UP (3060 / 5116) = 1 1 - (1276 / 5116) = 1 Fix this by masking off the number of additional service opportunities in the wMaxPacketSize field. This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit 4da6e6f2 "xhci 1.0: Update TD size field format." It may not apply well to kernels older than 3.2 because of commit 29cc8897 "USB: use usb_endpoint_maxp() instead of le16_to_cpu()". Signed-off-by:

commit 760973d2 upstream. An isochronous TD is comprised of one isochronous TRB chained to zero or more normal TRBs. Only the isoc TRB has the TBC and TLBPC fields.

This should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit b61d378f " xhci 1.0: Set transfer burst last packet count field." Signed-off-by:

This patch corrects a buffer overflow in kernels from 3.0 to 3.4 when calling log_prefix() function from call_console_drivers(). This bug existed in previous releases but has been revealed with commit 162a7e75 (2.6.39 => 3.0) that made changes about how to allocate memory for early printk buffer (use of memblock_alloc). It disappears with commit 7ff9554b (3.4 => 3.5) that does a refactoring of printk buffer management. In log_prefix(), the access to "p[0]", "p[1]", "p[2]" or "simple_strtoul(&p[1], &endp, 10)" may cause a buffer overflow as this function is called from call_console_drivers by passing "&LOG_BUF(cur_index)" where the index must be masked to do not exceed the buffer's boundary. The trick is to prepare in call_console_drivers() a buffer with the necessary data (PRI field of syslog message) to be safely evaluated in log_prefix(). This patch can be applied to stable kernel branches 3.0.y, 3.2.y and 3.4.y. Without this patch, one can freeze a server running this loop from shell : $ export DUMMY=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '12345AZERTYUIOPQSDFGHJKLMWXCVBNazertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn' | head -c255` $ while true do ; echo $DUMMY > /dev/kmsg ; done The "server freeze" depends on where memblock_alloc does allocate printk buffer : if the buffer overflow is inside another kernel allocation the problem may not be revealed, else the server may hangs up.

commit 712ba9e9 upstream. efi.runtime_version is erroneously being set to the value of the vendor's firmware revision instead of that of the implemented EFI specification. We can't deduce which EFI functions are available based on the revision of the vendor's firmware since the version scheme is likely to be unique to each vendor. What we really need to know is the revision of the implemented EFI specification, which is available in the EFI System Table header.
