commit 94a40931 upstream. Commit 4ae46bef "Thermal: Introduce thermal_zone_trip_update()" introduced a regression causing the fan to be always on even when the system is idle. My original idea in that commit is that: - when the current temperature is above the trip point, keep the fan on, even if the temperature is dropping. - when the current temperature is below the trip point, turn on the fan when the temperature is raising, turn off the fan when the temperature is dropping. But this is what the code actually does: - when the current temperature is above the trip point, the fan keeps on. - when the current temperature is below the trip point, the fan is always on because thermal_get_trend() in driver/acpi/thermal.c returns THERMAL_TREND_RAISING. Thus the fan keeps running even if the system is idle. Fix this in drivers/acpi/thermal.c.

commit a6432ded upstream. Commit 53aac44c (ACPI: Store valid ACPI tables passed via early initrd in reserved memblock areas) introduced acpi_initrd_override() that passes a wrong value as the second argument to memblock_reserve(). Namely, the second argument of memblock_reserve() is the size of the region, not the address of the top of it, so make acpi_initrd_override() pass the size in there as appropriate.

commit d66af4df upstream. Since commit 30dcf76a, ata_ap_acpi_handle will always do a namespace walk, which requires acquiring an acpi namespace mutex. This made it impossible to be used when calling path has held a spinlock. For example, it can occur in the following code path for pata_acpi: ata_scsi_queuecmd (ap->lock is acquired) __ata_scsi_queuecmd ata_scsi_translate ata_qc_issue pacpi_qc_issue ata_acpi_stm ata_ap_acpi_handle acpi_get_child acpi_walk_namespace acpi_ut_acquire_mutex (acquire mutex while holding lock) This caused scheduling while atomic bug, as reported in bug #56781. Actually, ata_ap_acpi_handle doesn't have to walk the namespace every time it is called, it can simply return the bound acpi handle on the corresponding SCSI host. The reason previously it is not done this way is, ata_ap_acpi_handle is used in the binding function ata_acpi_bind_host by ata_acpi_gtm when the handle is not bound to the SCSI host yet. Since we already have the ATA port's handle in its binding function, we can simply use it instead of calling ata_ap_acpi_handle there. So introduce a new function __ata_acpi_gtm, where it will receive an acpi handle param in addition to the ATA port which is solely used for debug statement. With this change, we can make ata_ap_acpi_handle simply return the bound handle for SCSI host instead of walking the acpi namespace now.

commit e005715e upstream. There's a bug where rtc alarms are ignored after the rtc cmos suspends but before the system finishes suspend. Since hpet emulation is disabled and it still handles the interrupts, a wake event is never registered which is done from the rtc layer. This patch reverts commit d1b2efa8 ("rtc: disable hpet emulation on suspend") which disabled hpet emulation. To fix the problem mentioned in that commit, hpet_rtc_timer_init() is called directly on resume.

commit 0cdc444a upstream. As pointed out by Andrew Morton, the swap-over-NFS writeback is not setting PageWriteback before it is queued for direct IO. While swap pages do not participate in BDI or process dirty accounting and the IO is synchronous, the writeback bit is still required and not setting it in this case was an oversight. swapoff depends on the page writeback to synchronoise all pending writes on a swap page before it is reused. Swapcache freeing and reuse depend on checking the PageWriteback under lock to ensure the page is safe to reuse. Direct IO handlers and the direct IO handler for NFS do not deal with PageWriteback as they are synchronous writes. In the case of NFS, it schedules pages (or a page in the case of swap) for IO and then waits synchronously for IO to complete in nfs_direct_write(). It is recognised that this is a slowdown from normal swap handling which is asynchronous and uses a completion handler. Shoving PageWriteback handling down into direct IO handlers looks like a bad fit to handle the swap case although it may have to be dealt with some day if swap is converted to use direct IO in general and bmap is finally done away with. At that point it will be necessary to refit asynchronous direct IO with completion handlers onto the swap subsystem. As swapcache currently depends on PageWriteback to protect against races, this patch sets PageWriteback under the page lock before queueing it for direct IO. It is cleared when the direct IO handler returns. IO errors are treated similarly to the direct-to-bio case except PageError is not set as in the case of swap-over-NFS, it is likely to be a transient error. It was asked what prevents such a page being reclaimed in parallel. With this patch applied, such a page will now be skipped (most of the time) or blocked until the writeback completes. Reclaim checks PageWriteback under the page lock before calling try_to_free_swap and the page lock should prevent the page being requeued for IO before it is freed. This and Jerome's related patch should considered for -stable as far back as 3.6 when swap-over-NFS was introduced.

commit 2d30d31e upstream. Since commit 62c230bc ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages"), swap_writepage() calls direct_IO on swap files. However, in that case the page isn't redirtied if I/O fails, and is therefore handled afterwards as if it has been successfully written to the swap file, leading to memory corruption when the page is eventually swapped back in. This patch sets the page dirty when direct_IO() fails. It fixes a memory corruption that happened while using swap-over-NFS.

It seems that the WARN occurs because an hrtimer has been started in the time between the releasing of the timekeeper lock and the IPI call (via a call to on_each_cpu) in clock_was_set() in the do_settimeofday() code. The end result is that a REALTIME_CLOCK timer has been added with softexpires = expires = KTIME_MAX. The hrtimer_interrupt() fires/is called and the loop at kernel/hrtimer.c:1289 is executed. In this loop the code subtracts the clock base's offset (which was set to timekeeper->offs_real in do_settimeofday()) from the current hrtimer_cpu_base->expiry value (which was KTIME_MAX): KTIME_MAX - (a negative value) = overflow A simple check for an overflow can resolve this problem. Using KTIME_MAX instead of the overflow value will result in the hrtimer function being run, and the reprogramming of the timer after that.

commit 51fd36f3 upstream. One can trigger an overflow when using ktime_add_ns() on a 32bit architecture not supporting CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR. When passing a very high value for u64 nsec, e.g. 7881299347898368000 the do_div() function converts this value to seconds (7881299347) which is still to high to pass to the ktime_set() function as long. The result in is a negative value. The problem on my system occurs in the tick-sched.c, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when time_delta is set to timekeeping_max_deferment(). The check for time_delta < KTIME_MAX is valid, thus ktime_add_ns() is called with a too large value resulting in a negative expire value. This leads to an endless loop in the ticker code: time_delta: 7881299347898368000 expires = ktime_add_ns(last_update, time_delta) expires: negative value This fix caps the value to KTIME_MAX. This error doesn't occurs on 64bit or architectures supporting CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR (e.g. ARM, x86-32).

commit 65033cc8 upstream. When we have a loopback mixer control, this should manage the state whether the output paths include the aamix or not. But the current code blindly initializes the output paths with aamix = true, thus the aamix is enabled unless the loopback mixer control is changed. Also, update_aamix_paths() called by the loopback mixer control put callback invokes snd_hda_activate_path() with aamix = true even for disabling the mixing. This leaves the aamix path even though the loopback control is turned off. This patch fixes these issues: - Introduced aamix_default() helper to indicate whether with_aamix is true or false as default - Fix the argument in update_aamix_paths() for disabling loopback Reported-by: Lydia Wang <LydiaWang@viatech.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit c75c5ab5 upstream. The recent changes in the USB API ("implement new semantics for URB_ISO_ASAP") made the former meaning of the URB_ISO_ASAP flag the default, and changed this flag to mean that URBs can be delayed. This is not the behaviour wanted by any of the audio drivers because it leads to discontinuous playback with very small period sizes. Therefore, our URBs need to be submitted without this flag.

commit 60af3d03 upstream. We've got strange errors in get_ctl_value() in mixer.c during probing, e.g. on Hercules RMX2 DJ Controller: ALSA mixer.c:352 cannot get ctl value: req = 0x83, wValue = 0x201, wIndex = 0xa00, type = 4 ALSA mixer.c:352 cannot get ctl value: req = 0x83, wValue = 0x200, wIndex = 0xa00, type = 4 .... It turned out that the culprit is autopm: snd_usb_autoresume() returns -ENODEV when called during card->probing = 1. Since the call itself during card->probing = 1 is valid, let's fix the return value of snd_usb_autoresume() as success.

commit cbc200bc upstream. Commit 88a8516a (ALSA: usbaudio: implement USB autosuspend) introduced autopm for all USB audio/MIDI devices. However, many MIDI devices, such as synthesizers, do not merely transmit MIDI messages but use their MIDI inputs to control other functions. With autopm, these devices would get powered down as soon as the last MIDI port device is closed on the host. Even some plain MIDI interfaces could get broken: they automatically send Active Sensing messages while powered up, but as soon as these messages cease, the receiving device would interpret this as an accidental disconnection. Commit f5f16541 (ALSA: usb-audio: Fix missing autopm for MIDI input) introduced another regression: some devices (e.g. the Roland GAIA SH-01) are self-powered but do a reset whenever the USB interface's power state changes. To work around all this, just disable autopm for all USB MIDI devices.

commit 1539d4f8 upstream. When recording at 176.2KHz or 192Khz, the device adds a 32-bit length header to the capture packets, which obviously needs to be ignored for recording to work properly. Userspace expected: L0 L1 L2 R0 R1 R2 ...but actually got: R2 L0 L1 L2 R0 R1 Also, the last byte of the length header being interpreted as L0 of the first sample caused spikes every 0.5ms, resulting in a loud 16KHz tone (about the highest 'B' on a piano) being present throughout captures. Tested at all sample rates on an E-Mu 0404USB, and tested for regressions on a generic USB headset.

commit ebfc594c upstream. The USB_DT_CS_ENDPOINT class-specific endpoint descriptor is usually stuffed directly after the standard USB endpoint descriptor, and this is where the driver currently expects it to be. There are, however, devices in the wild that have it the other way around in their descriptor sets, so the USB_DT_CS_ENDPOINT comes *before* the standard enpoint. Devices known to implement it that way are "Sennheiser BTD-500" and Plantronics USB headsets. When the driver can't find the USB_DT_CS_ENDPOINT, it won't be able to change sample rates, as the bitmask for the validity of this command is storen in bmAttributes of that descriptor. Fix this by searching the entire interface instead of just the extra bytes of the first endpoint, in case the latter fails.

commit 32d33b29 upstream. If the TPM has already been sent a SaveState command before the driver is loaded it may have problems sending that same command again later. This issue is seen with the Chromebook Pixel due to a firmware bug in the legacy mode boot path which is sending the SaveState command before booting the kernel. More information is available at http://crbug.com/203524 This change introduces a retry of the SaveState command in the suspend path in order to work around this issue. A future firmware update should fix this but this is also a trivial workaround in the driver that has no effect on systems that do not show this problem. When this does happen the TPM responds with a non-fatal TPM_RETRY code that is defined in the specification: The TPM is too busy to respond to the command immediately, but the command could be resubmitted at a later time. The TPM MAY return TPM_RETRY for any command at any time. It can take several seconds before the TPM will respond again. I measured a typical time between 3 and 4 seconds and the timeout is set at a safe 5 seconds. It is also possible to reproduce this with commands via /dev/tpm0. The bug linked above has a python script attached which can be used to test for this problem. I tested a variety of TPMs from Infineon, Nuvoton, Atmel, and STMicro but was only able to reproduce this with LPC and I2C TPMs from Infineon. The TPM specification only loosely defines this behavior: TPM Main Level 2 Part 3 v1.2 r116, section 3.3. TPM_SaveState: The TPM MAY declare all preserved values invalid in response to any command other than TPM_Init. TCG PC Client BIOS Spec 1.21 section 8.3.1. After issuing a TPM_SaveState command, the OS SHOULD NOT issue TPM commands before transitioning to S3 without issuing another TPM_SaveState command. TCG PC Client TIS 1.21, section 4. Power Management: The TPM_SaveState command allows a Static OS to indicate to the TPM that the platform may enter a low power state where the TPM will be required to enter into the D3 power state. The use of the term "may" is significant in that there is no requirement for the platform to actually enter the low power state after sending the TPM_SaveState command. The software may, in fact, send subsequent commands after sending the TPM_SaveState command.

commit de53e9ca upstream. The Linux Kernel contains some inline assembly source code which has wrong asm register constraints in arch/ia64/kvm/vtlb.c. I observed this on Kernel 3.2.35 but it is also true on the most recent Kernel 3.9-rc1. File arch/ia64/kvm/vtlb.c: u64 guest_vhpt_lookup(u64 iha, u64 *pte) { u64 ret; struct thash_data *data; data = __vtr_lookup(current_vcpu, iha, D_TLB); if (data != NULL) thash_vhpt_insert(current_vcpu, data->page_flags, data->itir, iha, D_TLB); asm volatile ( "rsm psr.ic|psr.i;;" "srlz.d;;" "ld8.s r9=[%1];;" "tnat.nz p6,p7=r9;;" "(p6) mov %0=1;" "(p6) mov r9=r0;" "(p7) extr.u r9=r9,0,53;;" "(p7) mov %0=r0;" "(p7) st8 [%2]=r9;;" "ssm psr.ic;;" "srlz.d;;" "ssm psr.i;;" "srlz.d;;" : "=r"(ret) : "r"(iha), "r"(pte):"memory"); return ret; } The list of output registers is : "=r"(ret) : "r"(iha), "r"(pte):"memory"); The constraint "=r" means that the GCC has to maintain that these vars are in registers and contain valid info when the program flow leaves the assembly block (output registers). But "=r" also means that GCC can put them in registers that are used as input registers. Input registers are iha, pte on the example. If the predicate p7 is true, the 8th assembly instruction "(p7) mov %0=r0;" is the first one which writes to a register which is maintained by the register constraints; it sets %0. %0 means the first register operand; it is ret here.

commit 136f39dd upstream. The Linux Kernel contains some inline assembly source code which has wrong asm register constraints in arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h. I observed this on Kernel 3.2.23 but it is also true on the most recent Kernel 3.9-rc1. File arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h: static inline int futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr, u32 oldval, u32 newval) { if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32))) return -EFAULT; { register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8"); unsigned long prev; __asm__ __volatile__( " mf;; \n" " mov %0=r0 \n" " mov ar.ccv=%4;; \n" "[1:] cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv \n" " .xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-. \n" "[2:]" : "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev) : "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval), "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval) : "memory"); *uval = prev; return r8; } } The list of output registers is : "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev) The constraint "=r" means that the GCC has to maintain that these vars are in registers and contain valid info when the program flow leaves the assembly block (output registers). But "=r" also means that GCC can put them in registers that are used as input registers. Input registers are uaddr, newval, oldval on the example. The second assembly instruction " mov %0=r0 \n" is the first one which writes to a register; it sets %0 to 0. %0 means the first register operand; it is r8 here. (The r0 is read-only and always 0 on the Itanium; it can be used if an immediate zero value is needed.) This instruction might overwrite one of the other registers which are still needed. Whether it really happens depends on how GCC decides what registers it uses and how it optimizes the code. The objdump utility can give us disassembly. The futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() function is inline, so we have to look for a module that uses the funtion. This is the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() function in kernel/futex.c: static int cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(u32 *curval, u32 __user *uaddr, u32 uval, u32 newval) { int ret; pagefault_disable(); ret = futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(curval, uaddr, uval, newval); pagefault_enable(); return ret; } Now the disassembly.

This is wrong. What happened here is what I explained above: An input register is overwritten which is still needed. The register operand constraints in futex.h are wrong. (The problem doesn't occur when the Kernel is compiled with GCC 4.6.) The attached patch fixes the register operand constraints in futex.h. The code after patching of it: static inline int futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr, u32 oldval, u32 newval) { if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32))) return -EFAULT; { register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8") = 0; unsigned long prev; __asm__ __volatile__( " mf;; \n" " mov ar.ccv=%4;; \n" "[1:] cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv \n" " .xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-. \n" "[2:]" : "+r" (r8), "=&r" (prev) : "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval), "rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval) : "memory"); *uval = prev; return r8; } } I also initialized the 'r8' var with the C programming language. The _asm qualifier on the definition of the 'r8' var forces GCC to use the r8 processor register for it. I don't believe that we should use inline assembly for zeroing out a local variable. The constraint is "+r" (r8) what means that it is both an input register and an output register. Note that the page fault handler will modify the r8 register which will be the return value of the function. The real fix is "=&r" (prev) The & means that GCC must not use any of the input registers to place this output register in.

commit 769ba721 upstream. Commit b51306c6 (PCI: Set device power state to PCI_D0 for device without native PM support) modified pci_platform_power_transition() by adding code causing dev->current_state for devices that don't support native PCI PM but are power-manageable by the platform to be changed to PCI_D0 regardless of the value returned by the preceding platform_pci_set_power_state(). In particular, that also is done if the platform_pci_set_power_state() has been successful, which causes the correct power state of the device set by pci_update_current_state() in that case to be overwritten by PCI_D0. Fix that mistake by making the fallback to PCI_D0 only happen if the platform_pci_set_power_state() has returned an error.

commit 545d6e18 upstream. Found problem on system that firmware that could handle pci aer. Firmware get error reporting after pci injecting error, before os boots. But after os boots, firmware can not get report anymore, even pci=noaer is passed. Root cause: BIOS _OSC has problem with query bit checking. It turns out that BIOS vendor is copying example code from ACPI Spec. In ACPI Spec 5.0, page 290: If (Not(And(CDW1,1))) // Query flag clear? { // Disable GPEs for features granted native control. If (And(CTRL,0x01)) // Hot plug control granted? { Store(0,HPCE) // clear the hot plug SCI enable bit Store(1,HPCS) // clear the hot plug SCI status bit } ... } When Query flag is set, And(CDW1,1) will be 1, Not(1) will return 0xfffffffe. So it will get into code path that should be for control set only. BIOS acpi code should be changed to "If (LEqual(And(CDW1,1), 0)))" Current kernel code is using _OSC query to notify firmware about support from OS and then use _OSC to set control bits. During query support, current code is using all possible controls. So will execute code that should be only for control set stage. That will have problem when pci=noaer or aer firmware_first is used. As firmware have that control set for os aer already in query support stage, but later will not os aer handling. We should avoid passing all possible controls, just use osc_control_set instead. That should workaround BIOS bugs with affected systems on the field as more bios vendors are copying sample code from ACPI spec.

commit d303e9e9 upstream. Back 2010 during a revamp of the irq code some initializations were moved from ia64_mca_init() to ia64_mca_late_init() in commit c75f2aa1 Cannot use register_percpu_irq() from ia64_mca_init() But this was hideously wrong. First of all these initializations are now down far too late. Specifically after all the other cpus have been brought up and initialized their own CMC vectors from smp_callin(). Also ia64_mca_late_init() may be called from any cpu so the line: ia64_mca_cmc_vector_setup(); /* Setup vector on BSP */ is generally not executed on the BSP, and so the CMC vector isn't setup at all on that processor. Make use of the arch_early_irq_init() hook to get this code executed at just the right moment: not too early, not too late.

commit c39e8e43 upstream. The TX_FIFO register is 10 bits wide. The lower 8 bits are the data to be written, while the upper two bits are flags to indicate stop/start. The driver apparently attempted to optimize write access, by only writing a byte in those cases where the stop/start bits are zero. However, we have seen cases where the lower byte is duplicated onto the upper byte by the hardware, which causes inadvertent stop/starts. This patch changes the write access to the transmit FIFO to always be 16 bits wide. Signed off by: Steven A.

commit 4df29712 upstream. Currently, the depth reported in the stack tracer stack_trace file does not match the stack_max_size file. This is because the stack_max_size includes the overhead of stack tracer itself while the depth does not. The first time a max is triggered, a calculation is not performed that figures out the overhead of the stack tracer and subtracts it from the stack_max_size variable. The overhead is stored and is subtracted from the reported stack size for comparing for a new max. Now the stack_max_size corresponds to the reported depth: # cat stack_max_size 4640 # cat stack_trace Depth Size Location (48 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4640 32 _raw_spin_lock+0x18/0x24 1) 4608 112 ____cache_alloc+0xb7/0x22d 2) 4496 80 kmem_cache_alloc+0x63/0x12f 3) 4416 16 mempool_alloc_slab+0x15/0x17 [...] While testing against and older gcc on x86 that uses mcount instead of fentry, I found that pasing in ip + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE let the stack trace show one more function deep which was missing before.

commit d4ecbfc4 upstream. When gcc 4.6 on x86 is used, the function tracer will use the new option -mfentry which does a call to "fentry" at every function instead of "mcount". The significance of this is that fentry is called as the first operation of the function instead of the mcount usage of being called after the stack. This causes the stack tracer to show some bogus results for the size of the last function traced, as well as showing "ftrace_call" instead of the function. This is due to the stack frame not being set up by the function that is about to be traced. # cat stack_trace Depth Size Location (48 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4824 216 ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f 1) 4608 112 ____cache_alloc+0xb7/0x22d 2) 4496 80 kmem_cache_alloc+0x63/0x12f The 216 size for ftrace_call includes both the ftrace_call stack (which includes the saving of registers it does), as well as the stack size of the parent. To fix this, if CC_USING_FENTRY is defined, then the stack_tracer will reserve the first item in stack_dump_trace[] array when calling save_stack_trace(), and it will fill it in with the parent ip. Then the code will look for the parent pointer on the stack and give the real size of the parent's stack pointer: # cat stack_trace Depth Size Location (14 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 2640 48 update_group_power+0x26/0x187 1) 2592 224 update_sd_lb_stats+0x2a5/0x4ac 2) 2368 160 find_busiest_group+0x31/0x1f1 3) 2208 256 load_balance+0xd9/0x662 I'm Cc'ing stable, although it's not urgent, as it only shows bogus size for item #0, the rest of the trace is legit. It should still be corrected in previous stable releases. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 87889501 upstream. Use the stack of stack_trace_call() instead of check_stack() as the test pointer for max stack size. It makes it a bit cleaner and a little more accurate. Adding stable, as a later fix depends on this patch. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit b0b88565 upstream. We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit b0de59b5: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c7: "TTY: fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both insufficient and overkill. It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an idle person from an active one with 'w'. So this tries to fix the problem properly. It marks the shared ptmx node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is active or not.

commit cd4baaaa upstream. An early draft of the PHC patch series included an alarm in the gianfar driver. During the review process, the alarm code was dropped, but the capability removal was overlooked. This patch fixes the issue by advertising zero alarms. This patch should be applied to every 3.x stable kernel. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Reported-by: Chris LaRocque <clarocq@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
