posix-cpu-timers: workaround to suppress the problems with mt exec
commit e0a70217107e6f9844628120412cb27bb4cea194 upstream.
posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does
posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
timers from signal->cpu_timers list.
But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group
leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group.
This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader.
After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems.
It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think
that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct.
Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular,
tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of
nontrivial and hard-to-test changes.
Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when
the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the
temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW,
this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway:
cpu timers do not work after mt exec.
In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can
detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However,
the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we
can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().

sctp: Fix a race between ICMP protocol unreachable and connect()
commit 50b5d6ad63821cea324a5a7a19854d4de1a0a819 upstream.
ICMP protocol unreachable handling completely disregarded
the fact that the user may have locked the socket. It proceeded
to destroy the association, even though the user may have
held the lock and had a ref on the association. This resulted
in the following:
Attempt to release alive inet socket f6afcc00

This was because the sctp_wait_for_connect() would aqcure the socket
lock and then proceed to release the last reference count on the
association, thus cause the fully destruction path to finish freeing
the socket.
The simplest solution is to start a very short timer in case the socket
is owned by user. When the timer expires, we can do some verification
and be able to do the release properly.

block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits instead
commit e692cb668fdd5a712c6ed2a2d6f2a36ee83997b4 upstream.
When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.
There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.
The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

ima: fix add LSM rule bug
commit 867c20265459d30a01b021a9c1e81fb4c5832aa9 upstream.
If security_filter_rule_init() doesn't return a rule, then not everything
is as fine as the return code implies.
This bug only occurs when the LSM (eg. SELinux) is disabled at runtime.
Adding an empty LSM rule causes ima_match_rules() to always succeed,
ignoring any remaining rules.
default IMA TCB policy:
# PROC_SUPER_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x9fa0
# SYSFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x62656572
# DEBUGFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x64626720
# TMPFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x01021994
# SECURITYFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x73636673
< LSM specific rule >
dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
measure func=BPRM_CHECK
measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC
measure func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ uid=0
Thus without the patch, with the boot parameters 'tcb selinux=0', adding
the above 'dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t' rule to the default IMA TCB
measurement policy, would result in nothing being measured. The patch
prevents the default TCB policy from being replaced.

sound: Prevent buffer overflow in OSS load_mixer_volumes
commit d81a12bc29ae4038770e05dce4ab7f26fd5880fb upstream.
The load_mixer_volumes() function, which can be triggered by
unprivileged users via the SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl, is vulnerable to
a buffer overflow. Because the provided "name" argument isn't
guaranteed to be NULL terminated at the expected 32 bytes, it's possible
to overflow past the end of the last element in the mixer_vols array.
Further exploitation can result in an arbitrary kernel write (via
subsequent calls to load_mixer_volumes()) leading to privilege
escalation, or arbitrary kernel reads via get_mixer_levels(). In
addition, the strcmp() may leak bytes beyond the mixer_vols array.

The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the

attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting
the available pages for special mappings.
bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have
the security check.

hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove, again
commit 320718ee074acce5ffced6506cb51af1388942aa upstream.
I don't claim to understand the tty layer, but it seems like hvc_open and
hvc_close should be balanced in their kref reference counting.
Right now we get a kref every call to hvc_open:
if (hp->count++ > 0) {
tty_kref_get(tty); <----- here
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hp->lock, flags);
hvc_kick();
return 0;
} /* else count == 0 */
tty->driver_data = hp;
hp->tty = tty_kref_get(tty); <------ or here if hp->count was 0
But hvc_close has:
tty_kref_get(tty);
if (--hp->count == 0) {
...
/* Put the ref obtained in hvc_open() */
tty_kref_put(tty);
...
}
tty_kref_put(tty);
Since the outside kref get/put balance we only do a single kref_put when
count reaches 0.
The patch below changes things to call tty_kref_put once for every
hvc_close call, and with that my machine boots fine.

hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove
commit e74d098c66543d0731de62eb747ccd5b636a6f4c upstream.
Alan pointed out a race in the code where hvc_remove is invoked. The
recent virtio_console work is the first user of hvc_remove().
Alan describes it thus:
The hvc_console assumes that a close and remove call can't occur at the
same time.
In addition tty_hangup(tty) is problematic as tty_hangup is asynchronous
itself....
So this can happen
hvc_close hvc_remove
hung up ? - no
lock
tty = hp->tty
unlock
lock
hp->tty = NULL
unlock
notify del
kref_put the hvc struct
close completes
tty is destroyed
tty_hangup dead tty
tty->ops will be NULL
NULL->...
This patch adds some tty krefs and also converts to using tty_vhangup().

x86, vt-d: Quirk for masking vtd spec errors to platform error handling logic
commit 254e42006c893f45bca48f313536fcba12206418 upstream.
On platforms with Intel 7500 chipset, there were some reports of system
hang/NMI's during kexec/kdump in the presence of interrupt-remapping enabled.
During kdump, there is a window where the devices might be still using old
kernel's interrupt information, while the kdump kernel is coming up. This can
cause vt-d faults as the interrupt configuration from the old kernel map to
null IRTE entries in the new kernel etc. (with out interrupt-remapping enabled,
we still have the same issue but in this case we will see benign spurious
interrupt hit the new kernel).
Based on platform config settings, these platforms seem to generate NMI/SMI
when a vt-d fault happens and there were reports that the resulting SMI causes
the system to hang.
Fix it by masking vt-d spec defined errors to platform error reporting logic.
VT-d spec related errors are already handled by the VT-d OS code, so need to
report the same error through other channels.

x86, vt-d: Handle previous faults after enabling fault handling
commit 7f99d946e71e71d484b7543b49e990508e70d0c0 upstream.
Fault handling is getting enabled after enabling the interrupt-remapping (as
the success of interrupt-remapping can affect the apic mode and hence the
fault handling mode).
Hence there can potentially be some faults between the window of enabling
interrupt-remapping in the vt-d and the fault-handling of the vt-d units.
Handle any previous faults after enabling the vt-d fault handling.
For v2.6.38 cleanup, need to check if we can remove the dmar_fault() in the
enable_intr_remapping() and see if we can enable fault handling along with
enabling intr-remapping.

x86: Enable the intr-remap fault handling after local APIC setup
commit 7f7fbf45c6b748074546f7f16b9488ca71de99c1 upstream.
Interrupt-remapping gets enabled very early in the boot, as it determines the
apic mode that the processor can use. And the current code enables the vt-d
fault handling before the setup_local_APIC(). And hence the APIC LDR registers
and data structure in the memory may not be initialized. So the vt-d fault
handling in logical xapic/x2apic modes were broken.
Fix this by enabling the vt-d fault handling in the end_local_APIC_setup()
A cleaner fix of enabling fault handling while enabling intr-remapping
will be addressed for v2.6.38. [ Enabling intr-remapping determines the
usage of x2apic mode and the apic mode determines the fault-handling
configuration. ]

tracing: Fix panic when lseek() called on "trace" opened for writing
commit 364829b1263b44aa60383824e4c1289d83d78ca7 upstream.
The file_ops struct for the "trace" special file defined llseek as seq_lseek().
However, if the file was opened for writing only, seq_open() was not called,
and the seek would dereference a null pointer, file->private_data.
This patch introduces a new wrapper for seq_lseek() which checks if the file
descriptor is opened for reading first. If not, it does nothing.

md: fix bug with re-adding of partially recovered device.
commit 1a855a0606653d2d82506281e2c686bacb4b2f45 upstream.
With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the
array until recovery is complete. So if we re-add such a device to
the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count
would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.
However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full
member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been
recovered. If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts
from this point.
When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how
much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full
in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup).
This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.
So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what
guides the re-adding of devices back into an array.
The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar
thing, which is encouraging.
This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

x86, amd: Fix panic on AMD CPU family 0x15
[The mainline kernel doesn't have this problem. Commit "(23588c3) x86,
amd: Add support for CPUID topology extension of AMD CPUs" removed the
family check. But 2.6.32.y needs to be fixed.]
This CPU family check is not required -- existence of the NodeId MSR
is indicated by a CPUID feature flag which is already checked in
amd_fixup_dcm() -- and it needlessly prevents amd_fixup_dcm() to be
called for newer AMD CPUs.
In worst case this can lead to a panic in the scheduler code for AMD
family 0x15 multi-node AMD CPUs. I just have a picture of VGA console
output so I can't copy-and-paste it herein, but the call stack of such
a panic looked like:
do_divide_error
...
find_busiest_group
run_rebalance_domains
...
apic_timer_interrupt
...
cpu_idle

orinoco: fix TKIP countermeasure behaviour
commit 0a54917c3fc295cb61f3fb52373c173fd3b69f48 upstream.
Enable the port when disabling countermeasures, and disable it on
enabling countermeasures.
This bug causes the response of the system to certain attacks to be
ineffective.
It also prevents wpa_supplicant from getting scan results, as
wpa_supplicant disables countermeasures on startup - preventing the
hardware from scanning.
wpa_supplicant works with ap_mode=2 despite this bug because the commit
handler re-enables the port.
The log tends to look like:
State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING

Scan requested (ret=0) - scan timeout 5 seconds
EAPOL: disable timer tick
EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized
Scan timeout - try to get results

ACPICA: Fix Scope() op in module level code
commit 8df3fc981dc12d9fdcaef4100a2193b605024d7a upstream.
Some Panasonic Toughbooks create nodes in module level code.
Module level code is the executable AML code outside of control method,
for example, below AML code creates a node \_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02.CUBL
If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
{
Scope (\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02)
{
Name (CUBL, Ones)
...
}
}
Scope() op does not actually create a new object, it refers to an
existing object(\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02 in above example). However, for
Scope(), we want to indeed open a new scope, so the child nodes(CUBL in
above example) can be created correctly under it.

IB/uverbs: Handle large number of entries in poll CQ
commit 7182afea8d1afd432a17c18162cc3fd441d0da93 upstream.
In ib_uverbs_poll_cq() code there is a potential integer overflow if
userspace passes in a large cmd.ne. The calls to kmalloc() would
allocate smaller buffers than intended, leading to memory corruption.
There iss also an information leak if resp wasn't all used.
Unprivileged userspace may call this function, although only if an
RDMA device that uses this function is present.
Fix this by copying CQ entries one at a time, which avoids the
allocation entirely, and also by moving this copying into a function
that makes sure to initialize all memory copied to userspace.

sunrpc: prevent use-after-free on clearing XPT_BUSY
commit ed2849d3ecfa339435818eeff28f6c3424300cec upstream.
When an xprt is created, it has a refcount of 1, and XPT_BUSY is set.
The refcount is *not* owned by the thread that created the xprt
(as is clear from the fact that creators never put the reference).
Rather, it is owned by the absence of XPT_DEAD. Once XPT_DEAD is set,
(And XPT_BUSY is clear) that initial reference is dropped and the xprt
can be freed.
So when a creator clears XPT_BUSY it is dropping its only reference and
so must not touch the xprt again.
However svc_recv, after calling ->xpo_accept (and so getting an XPT_BUSY
reference on a new xprt), calls svc_xprt_recieved. This clears
XPT_BUSY and then svc_xprt_enqueue - this last without owning a reference.
This is dangerous and has been seen to leave svc_xprt_enqueue working
with an xprt containing garbage.
So we need to hold an extra counted reference over that call to
svc_xprt_received.
For safety, any time we clear XPT_BUSY and then use the xprt again, we
first get a reference, and the put it again afterwards.
Note that svc_close_all does not need this extra protection as there are
no threads running, and the final free can only be called asynchronously
from such a thread.

nfsd: Fix possible BUG_ON firing in set_change_info
commit c1ac3ffcd0bc7e9617f62be8c7043d53ab84deac upstream.
If vfs_getattr in fill_post_wcc returns an error, we don't
set fh_post_change.
For NFSv4, this can result in set_change_info triggering a BUG_ON.
i.e. fh_post_saved being zero isn't really a bug.
So:
- instead of BUGging when fh_post_saved is zero, just clear ->atomic.
- if vfs_getattr fails in fill_post_wcc, take a copy of i_ctime anyway.
This will be used i seg_change_info, but not overly trusted.
- While we are there, remove the pointless 'if' statements in set_change_info.
There is no harm setting all the values.

NFS: Fix panic after nfs_umount()
commit 5b362ac3799ff4225c40935500f520cad4d7ed66 upstream.
After a few unsuccessful NFS mount attempts in which the client and
server cannot agree on an authentication flavor both support, the
client panics. nfs_umount() is invoked in the kernel in this case.
Turns out nfs_umount()'s UMNT RPC invocation causes the RPC client to
write off the end of the rpc_clnt's iostat array. This is because the
mount client's nrprocs field is initialized with the count of defined
procedures (two: MNT and UMNT), rather than the size of the client's
proc array (four).
The fix is to use the same initialization technique used by most other
upper layer clients in the kernel.
Introduced by commit 0b524123, which failed to update nrprocs when
support was added for UMNT in the kernel.

nohz: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() vs cpu hotplug
commit dbd87b5af055a0cc9bba17795c9a2b0d17795389 upstream.
This fixes a bug as seen on 2.6.32 based kernels where timers got
enqueued on offline cpus.
If a cpu goes offline it might still have pending timers. These will
be migrated during CPU_DEAD handling after the cpu is offline.
However while the cpu is going offline it will schedule the idle task
which will then call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().
That function in turn will call get_next_timer_intterupt() to figure
out if the tick of the cpu can be stopped or not. If it turns out that
the next tick is just one jiffy off (delta_jiffies == 1)
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() incorrectly assumes that the tick should
not stop and takes an early exit and thus it won't update the load
balancer cpu.
Just afterwards the cpu will be killed and the load balancer cpu could
be the offline cpu.
On 2.6.32 based kernel get_nohz_load_balancer() gets called to decide
on which cpu a timer should be enqueued (see __mod_timer()). Which
leads to the possibility that timers get enqueued on an offline cpu.
These will never expire and can cause a system hang.
This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels
__mod_timer() uses get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that
problem. However there might be other problems because of the too
early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in case a cpu goes offline.
The easiest and probably safest fix seems to be to let
get_next_timer_interrupt() just lie and let it say there isn't any
pending timer if the current cpu is offline.
I also thought of moving migrate_[hr]timers() from CPU_DEAD to
CPU_DYING, but seeing that there already have been fixes at least in
the hrtimer code in this area I'm afraid that this could add new
subtle bugs.

nohz: Fix printk_needs_cpu() return value on offline cpus
commit 61ab25447ad6334a74e32f60efb135a3467223f8 upstream.
This patch fixes a hang observed with 2.6.32 kernels where timers got enqueued
on offline cpus.
printk_needs_cpu() may return 1 if called on offline cpus. When a cpu gets
offlined it schedules the idle process which, before killing its own cpu, will
call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). That function in turn will call
printk_needs_cpu() in order to check if the local tick can be disabled. On
offline cpus this function should naturally return 0 since regardless if the
tick gets disabled or not the cpu will be dead short after. That is besides the
fact that __cpu_disable() should already have made sure that no interrupts on
the offlined cpu will be delivered anyway.
In this case it prevents tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to call
select_nohz_load_balancer(). No idea if that really is a problem. However what
made me debug this is that on 2.6.32 the function get_nohz_load_balancer() is
used within __mod_timer() to select a cpu on which a timer gets enqueued. If
printk_needs_cpu() returns 1 then the nohz_load_balancer cpu doesn't get
updated when a cpu gets offlined. It may contain the cpu number of an offline
cpu. In turn timers get enqueued on an offline cpu and not very surprisingly
they never expire and cause system hangs.
This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses
get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might be
other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in
case a cpu goes offline.
Easiest way to fix this is just to test if the current cpu is offline and call
printk_tick() directly which clears the condition.
Alternatively I tried a cpu hotplug notifier which would clear the condition,
however between calling the notifier function and printk_needs_cpu() something
could have called printk() again and the problem is back again. This seems to
be the safest fix.

drm/kms: remove spaces from connector names (v2)
commit e76116ca9671e2e5239054a40303b94feab585ad upstream.
Grub doesn't parse spaces in parameters correctly, so
this makes it impossible to force video= parameters
for kms on the grub kernel command line.
v2: shorten the names to make them easier to type.

ALSA: hda: Use model=lg quirk for LG P1 Express to enable playback and capture
commit 77c4d5cdb81d25a45fbdfb84dd3348121219a072 upstream.
BugLink: https://launchpad.net/bugs/595482
The original reporter states that audible playback from the internal
speaker is inaudible despite the hardware being properly detected. To
work around this symptom, he uses the model=lg quirk to properly enable
both playback, capture, and jack sense. Another user corroborates this
workaround on separate hardware. Add this PCI SSID to the quirk table
to enable it for further LG P1 Expresses.

fuse: fix ioctl when server is 32bit
commit d9d318d39dd5cb686660504a3565aac453709ccc upstream.
If a 32bit CUSE server is run on 64bit this results in EIO being
returned to the caller.
The reason is that FUSE_IOCTL_RETRY reply was defined to use 'struct
iovec', which is different on 32bit and 64bit archs.
Work around this by looking at the size of the reply to determine
which struct was used. This is only needed if CONFIG_COMPAT is
defined.
A more permanent fix for the interface will be to use the same struct
on both 32bit and 64bit.
