[ Upstream commit 30e7d894 ] Enabling the tracer selftest triggers occasionally the warning in text_poke(), which warns when the to be modified page is not marked reserved. The reason is that the tracer selftest installs kprobes on functions marked __init for testing. These probes are removed after the tests, but that removal schedules the delayed kprobes_optimizer work, which will do the actual text poke. If the work is executed after the init text is freed, then the warning triggers. The bug can be reproduced reliably when the work delay is increased. Flush the optimizer work and wait for the optimizing/unoptimizing lists to become empty before returning from the kprobes tracer selftest. That ensures that all operations which were queued due to the probes removal have completed. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170516094802.76a468bb@gandalf.local.homeSigned-off-by:

Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function "__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long. The assignment "count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];" could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result in buffers not being freed when they should. While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers(). Division is slow, we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of block size. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit bb246681 ] Commit 557aaa7f ("ft232: support the ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY flag") enables unprivileged users to set the FTDI latency timer, but there was a logic flaw that skipped sending the corresponding USB control message to the device. Specifically, the device latency timer would not be updated until next open, something which was later also inadvertently broken by commit c19db4c9 ("USB: ftdi_sio: set device latency timeout at port probe"). A recent commit c6dce262 ("USB: serial: ftdi_sio: fix extreme low-latency setting") disabled the low-latency mode by default so we now need this fix to allow unprivileged users to again enable it.

[ Upstream commit d8581c7c ] The board file for imx6sx-sdb overrides cpufreq operating points to use higher voltages. This is done because the board has a shared rail for VDD_ARM_IN and VDD_SOC_IN and when using LDO bypass the shared voltage needs to be a value suitable for both ARM and SOC. This only applies to LDO bypass mode, a feature not present in upstream. When LDOs are enabled the effect is to use higher voltages than necessary for no good reason. Setting these higher voltages can make some boards fail to boot with ugly semi-random crashes reminiscent of memory corruption. These failures only happen on board rev. C, rev. B is reported to still work. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 7d7efec3 ] threadgroup_change_begin/end() are used to mark the beginning and end of threadgroup modifying operations to allow code paths which require a threadgroup to stay stable across blocking operations to synchronize against those sections using threadgroup_lock/unlock(). It's currently implemented as a general mechanism in sched.h using per-signal_struct rwsem; however, this never grew non-cgroup use cases and becomes noop if !CONFIG_CGROUPS. It turns out that cgroups is gonna be better served with a different sycnrhonization scheme and is a bit silly to keep cgroups specific details as a general mechanism. What's general here is identifying the places where threadgroups are modified. This patch restructures threadgroup locking so that threadgroup_change_begin/end() become a place where subsystems which need to sycnhronize against threadgroup changes can hook into. cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin/end() which operate on the per-signal_struct rwsem are created and threadgroup_lock/unlock() are moved to cgroup.c and made static. This is pure reorganization which doesn't cause any functional changes. Signed-off-by:

If the PSW is updated by the critical section cleanup to point to user space again, the interrupt entry code will do a vtime calculation after the cleanup completed with an exit_timer value which has *not* been updated. Due to this incorrect system time deltas are calculated. If an interrupt occured with an old PSW between .Lsysc_restore/.Lsysc_done or .Lio_restore/.Lio_done update __LC_EXIT_TIMER with the system entry time of the interrupt.

[ Upstream commit 5edabca9 ] In the current DCCP implementation an skb for a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet is forcibly freed via __kfree_skb in dccp_rcv_state_process if dccp_v6_conn_request successfully returns. However, if IPV6_RECVPKTINFO is set on a socket, the address of the skb is saved to ireq->pktopts and the ref count for skb is incremented in dccp_v6_conn_request, so skb is still in use. Nevertheless, it gets freed in dccp_rcv_state_process. Fix by calling consume_skb instead of doing goto discard and therefore calling __kfree_skb. Similar fixes for TCP: fb7e2399 [TCP]: skb is unexpectedly freed. 0aea76d3 tcp: SYN packets are now simply consumed Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 197c949e ] Backport of this upstream commit into stable kernels : 89c22d8c ("net: Fix skb csum races when peeking") exposed a bug in udp stack vs MSG_PEEK support, when user provides a buffer smaller than skb payload. In this case, skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec(skb, sizeof(struct udphdr), msg->msg_iov); returns -EFAULT. This bug does not happen in upstream kernels since Al Viro did a great job to replace this into : skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg(skb, sizeof(struct udphdr), msg); This variant is safe vs short buffers. For the time being, instead reverting Herbert Xu patch and add back skb->ip_summed invalid changes, simply store the result of udp_lib_checksum_complete() so that we avoid computing the checksum a second time, and avoid the problematic skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec() call. This patch can be applied on recent kernels as it avoids a double checksumming, then backported to stable kernels as a bug fix. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit a06040d7 ] Our access_ok() simply hands its arguments over to __range_ok(), which implicitly assummes that the addr parameter is 64 bits wide. This isn't necessarily true for compat code, which might pass down a 32-bit address parameter. In these cases, we don't have a guarantee that the address has been zero extended to 64 bits, and the upper bits of the register may contain unknown values, potentially resulting in a suprious failure. Avoid this by explicitly casting the addr parameter to an unsigned long (as is done on other architectures), ensuring that the parameter is widened appropriately.

[ Upstream commit f0e421b1 ] Some kernel features don't currently work if a task puts a non-zero address tag in its stack pointer, frame pointer, or frame record entries (FP, LR). For example, with a tagged stack pointer, the kernel can't deliver signals to the process, and the task is killed instead. As another example, with a tagged frame pointer or frame records, perf fails to generate call graphs or resolve symbols. For now, just document these limitations, instead of finding and fixing everything that doesn't work, as it's not known if anyone needs to use tags in these places anyway. In addition, as requested by Dave Martin, generalize the limitations into a general kernel address tag policy, and refactor tagged-pointers.txt to include it.
