commit 63a3f603 upstream. defined(@array) is deprecated in Perl and gives off a warning. Restructure the code to remove that warning. [ hpa: it would be interesting to revert to the timeconst.bc script. It appears that the failures reported by akpm during testing of that script was due to a known broken version of make, not a problem with bc. The Makefile rules could probably be restructured to avoid the make bug, or it is probably old enough that it doesn't matter. ] Reported-by:

commit e575a86f upstream. Without this patch, it is trivial to determine kernel page mappings by examining the error code reported to dmesg[1]. Instead, declare the entire kernel memory space as a violation of a present page. Additionally, since show_unhandled_signals is enabled by default, switch branch hinting to the more realistic expectation, and unobfuscate the setting of the PF_PROT bit to improve readability.

commit ae128786 upstream. If grub2 loads efifb/vesafb, then when systemd starts it can set the console font on that framebuffer device, however when we then load the native KMS driver, the first thing it does is tear down the generic framebuffer driver. The thing is the generic code is doing the right thing, it frees the font because otherwise it would leak memory. However we can assume that if you are removing the generic firmware driver (vesa/efi/offb), that a new driver *should* be loading soon after, so we effectively leak the font. However the old code left a dangling pointer in vc->vc_font.data and we can now reuse that dangling pointer to load the font into the new driver, now that we aren't freeing it.

commit 2a248307 upstream. When we switch from 256->512 byte font rendering mode, it means the current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus the new font misrenders. The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on screen at boot and is quite ugly. A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen no longer corrupts. v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we are are going to or from 512 chars.

commit cc400e18 upstream. Some low-level comedi drivers (incorrectly) point `dev->read_subdev` or `dev->write_subdev` to a subdevice that does not support asynchronous commands. Comedi's poll(), read() and write() file operation handlers assume these subdevices do support asynchronous commands. In particular, they assume `s->async` is valid (where `s` points to the read or write subdevice), which it won't be if it has been set incorrectly. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Check `s->async` is non-NULL in `comedi_poll()`, `comedi_read()` and `comedi_write()` to avoid the bug. Signed-off-by:

commit b22affe0 upstream. hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram contains a race which could result in timer.base switch during unlock/lock sequence. hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram is releasing the lock protecting the timer base for calling raise_softirq_irqsoff() due to a lock ordering issue versus rq->lock. If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call will unlock the wrong lock.

commit 8afd500c upstream. The last orphan in the dnext list has its dnext set to NULL. Because of that, ubifs_delete_orphan assumes that it is not on the dnext list and frees it immediately instead ignoring it as a second delete. The orphan is later freed again by erase_deleted.

commit 4fa3e78b upstream. A bus_type has a list of devices (klist_devices), but the list and the subsys_private structure that contains it are not initialized until the bus_type is registered with bus_register(). The panic/reboot path has fixups that look up devices in pci_bus_type. If we panic before registering pci_bus_type, the bus_type exists but the list does not, so mach_reboot_fixups() trips over a null pointer and panics again: mach_reboot_fixups pci_get_device .. bus_find_device(&pci_bus_type, ...) bus->p is NULL Joonsoo reported a problem when panicking before PCI was initialized. I think this patch should be sufficient to replace the patch he posted here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/28/75 ("[PATCH] x86, reboot: skip reboot_fixups in early boot phase") Reported-by:

commit f03574f2 upstream. This code was an optimization for 32-bit NUMA systems. It has probably been the cause of a number of subtle bugs over the years, although the conditions to excite them would have been hard to trigger. Essentially, we remap part of the kernel linear mapping area, and then sometimes part of that area gets freed back in to the bootmem allocator. If those pages get used by kernel data structures (say mem_map[] or a dentry), there's no big deal. But, if anyone ever tried to use the linear mapping for these pages _and_ cared about their physical address, bad things happen. For instance, say you passed __GFP_ZERO to the page allocator and then happened to get handed one of these pages, it zero the remapped page, but it would make a pte to the _old_ page. There are probably a hundred other ways that it could screw with things. We don't need to hang on to performance optimizations for these old boxes any more. All my 32-bit NUMA systems are long dead and buried, and I probably had access to more than most people. This code is causing real things to break today: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/9/376 I looked in to actually fixing this, but it requires surgery to way too much brittle code, as well as stuff like per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(). [ hpa: Cc: this for -stable, since it is a memory corruption issue. However, an alternative is to simply mark NUMA as depends BROKEN rather than EXPERIMENTAL in the X86_32 subclause... ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130131005616.1C79F411@kernel.stglabs.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

commit 754ab5c0 upstream. Comedi has two sorts of minor devices: (a) normal board minor devices in the range 0 to COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS-1 inclusive; and (b) special subdevice minor devices in the range COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS upwards that are used to open the same underlying comedi device as the normal board minor devices, but with non-default read and write subdevices for asynchronous commands. The special subdevice minor devices get created when a board supporting asynchronous commands is attached to a normal board minor device, and destroyed when the board is detached from the normal board minor device. One way to attach or detach a board is by using the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl. This should only be used on normal board minors as the special subdevice minors are too ephemeral. In particular, the change introduced in commit 7d3135af ("staging: comedi: prevent auto-unconfig of manually configured devices") breaks horribly for special subdevice minor devices. Since there's no legitimate use for the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl on a special subdevice minor device node, disallow it and return -ENOTTY. Signed-off-by:

commit 15bc8d84 upstream. On store status we need to copy the current state of registers into a save area. Currently we might save stale versions: The sie state descriptor doesnt have fields for guest ACRS,FPRS, those registers are simply stored in the host registers. The host program must copy these away if needed. We do that in vcpu_put/load. If we now do a store status in KVM code between vcpu_put/load, the saved values are not up-to-date. Lets collect the ACRS/FPRS before saving them. This also fixes some strange problems with hotplug and virtio-ccw, since the low level machine check handler (on hotplug a machine check will happen) will revalidate all registers with the content of the save area.

commit 6a040ce7 upstream. The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is not set until eeh_add_device_late is called. Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called. These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash, due to a NULL dereference. Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called. Signed-off-by:

commit 55ee64b3 upstream. Walking rbtree while it's modified is a Bad Idea(tm); besides, the result of find_vma() can be freed just as it's getting returned to caller. Fortunately, it's easy to fix - just take ->mmap_sem a bit earlier (and don't bother with find_vma() at all if virtp >= PAGE_OFFSET - in that case we don't even look at its result). While we are at it, what prevents VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF calling v4l_prepare_buf() -> (e.g) vb2_ioctl_prepare_buf() -> vb2_prepare_buf() -> __buf_prepare() -> __qbuf_userptr() -> vb2_vmalloc_get_userptr() -> find_vma(), AFAICS without having taken ->mmap_sem anywhere in process? The code flow is bloody convoluted and depends on a bunch of things done by initialization, so I certainly might've missed something... Signed-off-by:

Later calls to v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() will consider the subdev as registered and will module_put() the subdev module without any matching module_get().

commit a2c1c57b upstream. To avoid executing the same work item concurrenlty, workqueue hashes currently busy workers according to their current work items and looks up the the table when it wants to execute a new work item. If there already is a worker which is executing the new work item, the new item is queued to the found worker so that it gets executed only after the current execution finishes. Unfortunately, a work item may be freed while being executed and thus recycled for different purposes. If it gets recycled for a different work item and queued while the previous execution is still in progress, workqueue may make the new work item wait for the old one although the two aren't really related in any way. In extreme cases, this false dependency may lead to deadlock although it's extremely unlikely given that there aren't too many self-freeing work item users and they usually don't wait for other work items. To alleviate the problem, record the current work function in each busy worker and match it together with the work item address in find_worker_executing_work(). While this isn't complete, it ensures that unrelated work items don't interact with each other and in the very unlikely case where a twisted wq user triggers it, it's always onto itself making the culprit easy to spot.

" Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves this problem: "This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)." The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the %cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is the approach taken in this patch. Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses the %ss segment. In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention and lead to accidents. Reviewed-by:

[ Upstream commit daf3ec68 ] TG3_PHY_AUXCTL_SMDSP_ENABLE/DISABLE macros do a blind write to the phy auxiliary control register and overwrite the EXT_PKT_LEN (bit 14) resulting in intermittent crc errors on jumbo frames with some link partners. Change the code to do a read/modify/write. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 9c13cb8b ] When netconsole is enabled, logging messages generated during tg3_open can result in a null pointer dereference for the uninitialized tg3 status block. Use the irq_sync flag to disable polling in the early stages. irq_sync is cleared when the driver is enabling interrupts after all initialization is completed. Signed-off-by:
