Move the smp_rmb after cpu_relax loop in read_seqlock and add
ACCESS_ONCE to make sure the test and return are consistent.
A multi-threaded core in the lab didn't like the update
from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36, to the point it would hang during
boot when multiple threads were active. Bisection showed af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867 (clockevents:
Remove the per cpu tick skew) as the culprit and it is
supported with stack traces showing xtime_lock waits including
tick_do_update_jiffies64 and/or update_vsyscall.
Experimentation showed the combination of cpu_relax and smp_rmb
was significantly slowing the progress of other threads sharing
the core, and this patch is effective in avoiding the hang.
A theory is the rmb is affecting the whole core while the
cpu_relax is causing a resource rebalance flush, together they
cause an interfernce cadance that is unbroken when the seqlock
reader has interrupts disabled.
At first I was confused why the refactor in 3c22cd5709e8143444a6d08682a87f4c57902df3 (kernel: optimise
seqlock) didn't affect this patch application, but after some
study that affected seqcount not seqlock. The new seqcount was
not factored back into the seqlock. I defer that the future.
While the removal of the timer interrupt offset created
contention for the xtime lock while a cpu does the
additonal work to update the system clock, the seqlock
implementation with the tight rmb spin loop goes back much
further, and is just waiting for the right trigger.

HARDIRQ_ENTER() maps to irq_enter() which calls rcu_irq_enter().
But HARDIRQ_EXIT() maps to __irq_exit() which doesn't call
rcu_irq_exit().
So for every locking selftest that simulates hardirq disabled,
we create an imbalance in the rcu extended quiescent state
internal state.
As a result, after the first missing rcu_irq_exit(), subsequent
irqs won't exit dyntick-idle mode after leaving the interrupt
handler. This means that RCU won't see the affected CPU as being
in an extended quiescent state, resulting in long grace-period
delays (as in grace periods extending for hours).
To fix this, just use __irq_enter() to simulate the hardirq
context. This is sufficient for the locking selftests as we
don't need to exit any extended quiescent state or perform
any check that irqs normally do when they wake up from idle.
As a side effect, this patch makes it possible to restore
"rcu: Decrease memory-barrier usage based on semi-formal proof",
which eventually helped finding this bug.

Commit b87cf80af3ba4b4c008b4face3c68d604e1715c6 added support for
ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not
affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor
families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it
is in a deep C state, including C1E state.
Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may
have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat
complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT
support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to
broadcasting timer when going idle.

If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect
blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated. If there
are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations
wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of
the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in
fs/jbd/commit.c:
J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL);
It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of
fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync(). But
with the right workload, it can.
We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test,
since there's only one valid transaction id that is valid for us to
start: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).

In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get

a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved
from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue
check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state
and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper

there's a kernel bug related to reading the last allowed page on x86_64.
The _copy_to_user() and _copy_from_user() functions use the following
check for address limit:
if (buf + size >= limit)
fail();
while it should be more permissive:
if (buf + size > limit)
fail();
That's because the size represents the number of bytes being
read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address.
So the copy function will actually never touch the limit
address even if "buf + size == limit".
Following program fails to use the last page as buffer
due to the wrong limit check:
The other place checking the addr limit is the access_ok() function,
which is working properly. There's just a misleading comment
for the __range_not_ok() macro - which this patch fixes as well.
The last page of the user-space address range is a guard page and
Brian Gerst observed that the guard page itself due to an erratum on K8 cpus
(#121 Sequential Execution Across Non-Canonical Boundary Causes Processor
Hang).
However, the test code is using the last valid page before the guard page.
The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read
because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place.
This bug would normally not show up because the last page is
part of the process stack and never accessed via syscalls.

Unfornately it missed that kexec_wait is used both by cpus leaving the
kernel and by secondary slave cpus that were not allocated a paca for
what ever reason -- they could be beyond nr_cpus or not described in
the current device tree for whatever reason (for example, kexec-load
was not refreshed after a cpu hotplug operation). Cpus coming through
that path they will write to paca[NR_CPUS] which is beyond the space
allocated for the paca data and overwrite memory not allocated to pacas
but very likely still real mode accessable).
Move the write back to kexec_smp_wait, which is used only by cpus that
found their paca, but after the transition to real mode.

When we discover CPUs that are affected by each other's
frequency/voltage transitions, the first CPU gets a sysfs directory
created, and rest of the siblings get symlinks. Currently, when we
hotplug off only the first CPU, all of the symlinks and the sysfs
directory gets removed. Even though rest of the siblings are still
online and functional, they are orphaned, and no longer governed by
cpufreq.
This patch, given the above scenario, creates a sysfs directory for

netxen: Remove references to unified firmware file
Commit c23a103f0d9c2560c6839ed366feebec4cd5e556 wrongly introduced
references to the unified firmware file "phanfw.bin", which is not
supported by netxen in 2.6.32. The driver reports this filename when
loading firmware from flash, and includes a MODULE_FIRMWARE hint for
the filename even though it will never use it.
During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO
gets out of sync with netdev->features.
This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding
setup and is hitting many VMware users.
Simplified call sequence:
1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true.
2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled,
so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features.
3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still
set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though
netdev->features shows it's disabled.
Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too.
The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal
in net-next, see commit a0d2730c9571aeba793cb5d3009094ee1d8fda35
"net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features".

This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found
that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all
non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage.
According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual
Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when
an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under
FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether
the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These
errors are seen as error interrupts.
The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads
0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for
the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI.
When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt,
the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required
from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register
programmed as such as well.
This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling
interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to
0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will
signal illegal vector error interrupts.
This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before
restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.
The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.
The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
first time after it switched to oneshot mode.
In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
seconds timeframe.
The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
otherwise it would not be executing that code.
[ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
state? ]

ata_pio_sectors() expects buffer for each sector to be contained in a
single page; otherwise, it ends up overrunning the first page. This
is achieved by setting queue DMA alignment. If sector_size is smaller
than PAGE_SIZE and all buffers are sector_size aligned, buffer for
each sector is always contained in a single page.
This wasn't applied to ATAPI devices but IDENTIFY_PACKET is executed
as ATA_PROT_PIO and thus uses ata_pio_sectors(). Newer versions of
udev issue IDENTIFY_PACKET with unaligned buffer triggering the
problem and causing oops.
This patch fixes the problem by setting sdev->sector_size to
ATA_SECT_SIZE on ATATPI devices and always setting DMA alignment to
sector_size. While at it, add a warning for the unlikely but still
possible scenario where sector_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE, in which
case the alignment wouldn't be enough.

This only matters for ISA devices with a 24-bit DMA limit or for devices
with a 32-bit DMA limit on systems with ZONE_DMA32 enabled. The latter
currently only affects 32-bit PCI cards on Sibyte-based systems with more
than 1GB RAM installed.
When a network namespace is created (via CLONE_NEWNET), the loopback
interface is automatically added to the new namespace, triggering a
printk in ipv6_add_dev() if CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY is set.
This is problematic for applications which use CLONE_NEWNET as
part of a sandbox, like Chromium's suid sandbox or recent versions of
vsftpd. On a busy machine, it can lead to thousands of useless
"lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" messages appearing in dmesg.

It turns out that while a maximum of 8 partitions may be what people
"should" have had, you can actually fit up to 18 entries(*) in a sector.
And some people clearly were taking advantage of that, like Michael
Cree, who had ten partitions on one of his OSF disks.
(*) The OSF partition data starts at byte offset 64 in the first sector,
and the array of 16-byte partition entries start at offset 148 in
the on-disk partition structure.
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating OSF partitions contains a bug that leaks data
from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF
partitions.
In more detail:
for (i = 0 ; i < le16_to_cpu(label->d_npartitions); i++, partition++) {
iterates from 0 to d_npartitions - 1, where d_npartitions is read from
the partition table without validation and partition is a pointer to an

It occurs because an skb with a fraglist was freed from the tcp
retransmit queue when it was acked, but a page on that fraglist had
PG_Slab set (indicating it was allocated from the Slab allocator (which
means the free path above can't safely free it via put_page.
We tracked this back to an nfsv4 setacl operation, in which the nfs code
attempted to fill convert the passed in buffer to an array of pages in
__nfs4_proc_set_acl, which gets used by the skb->frags list in
xs_sendpages. __nfs4_proc_set_acl just converts each page in the buffer
to a page struct via virt_to_page, but the vfs allocates the buffer via
kmalloc, meaning the PG_slab bit is set. We can't create a buffer with
kmalloc and free it later in the tcp ack path with put_page, so we need
to either:
1) ensure that when we create the list of pages, no page struct has
PG_Slab set
or
2) not use a page list to send this data
Given that these buffers can be multiple pages and arbitrarily sized, I
think (1) is the right way to go. I've written the below patch to
allocate a page from the buddy allocator directly and copy the data over
to it. This ensures that we have a put_page free-able page for every
entry that winds up on an skb frag list, so it can be safely freed when
the frame is acked. We do a put page on each entry after the
rpc_call_sync call so as to drop our own reference count to the page,
leaving only the ref count taken by tcp_sendpages. This way the data
will be properly freed when the ack comes in
Successfully tested by myself to solve the above oops.
Note, as this is the result of a setacl operation that exceeded a page
of data, I think this amounts to a local DOS triggerable by an
uprivlidged user, so I'm CCing security on this as well.
When reusing a TCP connection, ensure that it's aborted if a previous
shutdown attempt has been made on that connection so that the RPC over
TCP recovery mechanism succeeds.

The current code creates directories in procfs named after interfaces,
but doesn't handle renaming. This can result in name collisions and
consequent WARNINGs. It also means that the interface name cannot
reliably be used to remove the directory - in fact the current code
doesn't even try, and always uses "wlan0"!
Since the name of a proc_dir_entry is embedded in it, use that when
removing it.
Add a netdev notifier to catch interface renaming, and remove and
re-add the directory at this point.
According to the Dell/Ubuntu driver, what was previously observed as
"jumpy cursor" corresponds to the hardware sending incorrect data for
the first two reports of a one touch finger. So let's use the same
workaround as in the other driver. Also, detect another firmware
version with the same behaviour, as in the other driver.
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating LDM partitions (in fs/partitions/ldm.c) contains

longer recognizes newly connected storage devices.

indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and
encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the

If pci_ioremap_bar() fails during probe, we "goto release;" and free the
host, but then we return 0 -- which tells sdhci_pci_probe() that the probe
succeeded. Since we think the probe succeeded, when we unload sdhci we'll
go to sdhci_pci_remove_slot() and it will try to dereference slot->host,
which is now NULL because we freed it in the error path earlier.
The patch simply sets ret appropriately, so that sdhci_pci_probe() will
detect the failure immediately and bail out.
SCSI uses request_queue->queuedata == NULL as a signal that the queue
is dying. We set this state in the sdev release function. However,
this allows a small window where we release the last reference but
haven't quite got to this stage yet and so something will try to take
a reference in scsi_request_fn and oops. It's very rare, but we had a
report here, so we're pushing this as a bug fix
The actual fix is to set request_queue->queuedata to NULL in
scsi_remove_device() before we drop the reference. This causes
correct automatic rejects from scsi_request_fn as people who hold
additional references try to submit work and prevents anything from
getting a new reference to the sdev that way.
There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that
causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering
the OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages.
Not especially relevant from a security perspective, since users must
have CAP_SYS_ADMIN to open the character device.
First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl() with a type
PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. A pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer
is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to
buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit signed
value provided by the user.
If a negative value is provided here, bad things can happen. For
example, pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this
request_size, which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a
negative size. The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can
result in an overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the
sglist will be smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly
large the subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high
number of pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked.
Prevent this value from being negative in pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough().

For m68k, N_NORMAL_MEMORY represents all nodes that have present memory
since it does not support HIGHMEM. This patch sets the bit at the time
node_present_pages has been set by free_area_init_node.
At the time the node is brought online, the node state would have to be
done unconditionally since information about present memory has not yet
been recorded.
If N_NORMAL_MEMORY is not accurate, slub may encounter errors since it
uses this nodemask to setup per-cache kmem_cache_node data structures.
This pach is an alternative to the one proposed by David Rientjes
<rientjes@google.com> attempting to set node state immediately when
bringing the node online.
This patch fixes the warning about bad names for sys-fs and other kernel-things. The flexcop-pci driver was using '/'-characters in it, which is not good.
This has been fixed in several attempts by several people, but obviously never made it into the kernel.
When a DISCONTIGMEM memory range is brought online as a NUMA node, it
also needs to have its bet set in N_NORMAL_MEMORY. This is necessary for
generic kernel code that utilizes N_NORMAL_MEMORY as a subset of N_ONLINE
for memory savings.
These types of hacks can hopefully be removed once DISCONTIGMEM is either
removed or abstracted away from CONFIG_NUMA.
Fixes a panic in the slub code which only initializes structures for
N_NORMAL_MEMORY to save memory:
At two points in handling device ioctls via /dev/mpt2ctl, user-supplied
length values are used to copy data from userspace into heap buffers
without bounds checking, allowing controllable heap corruption and
subsequently privilege escalation.
Additionally, user-supplied values are used to determine the size of a
copy_to_user() as well as the offset into the buffer to be read, with no
bounds checking, allowing users to read arbitrary kernel memory.

The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while
forwarding, i.e. configured as router.
This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto
configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the
current behavior to be overwritten.
Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding
enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the
special value of 2.
An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether
and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I
found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to
strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so
if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.

The fix in commit 6b4e81db2552 ("i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets
clobbered") to work around the gcc miscompiling i8k.c to add "+m
(*regs)" caused register pressure problems and a build failure.
Changing the 'asm' statement to 'asm volatile' instead should prevent
that and works around the gcc bug as well, so we can remove the "+m".
[ Background on the gcc bug: a memory clobber fails to mark the function
the asm resides in as non-pure (aka "__attribute__((const))"), so if
the function does nothing else that triggers the non-pure logic, gcc
will think that that function has no side effects at all. As a result,
callers will be mis-compiled.
Adding the "+m" made gcc see that it's not a pure function, and so
does "asm volatile". The problem was never really the need to mark
"*regs" as changed, since the memory clobber did that part - the
problem was just a bug in the gcc "pure" function analysis - Linus ]

wrap case. Also agp_create_user_memory() doesn't check whether
alloc_size is calculated from num_agp_pages variable without overflow.
This may lead to allocation of too small buffer with following buffer
overflow.
Another problem in agp code is not addressed in the patch - kernel memory
exhaustion (AGPIOC_RESERVE and AGPIOC_ALLOCATE ioctls). It is not checked
whether requested pid is a pid of the caller (no check in agpioc_reserve_wrap()).
Each allocation is limited to 16KB, though, there is no per-process limit.
This might lead to OOM situation, which is not even solved in case of the
caller death by OOM killer - the memory is allocated for another (faked) process.
pg_start is copied from userspace on AGPIOC_BIND and AGPIOC_UNBIND ioctl
cmds of agp_ioctl() and passed to agpioc_bind_wrap(). As said in the
comment, (pg_start + mem->page_count) may wrap in case of AGPIOC_BIND,
and it is not checked at all in case of AGPIOC_UNBIND. As a result, user
with sufficient privileges (usually "video" group) may generate either
local DoS or privilege escalation.
This example file uses the old V4L1 API. It also doesn't use libv4l.
So, it is completely obsolete. A good example already exists at
v4l-utils (v4l2grab.c):

Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the
cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some
other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of
the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function
cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in
the toplevel Makefile.

Disable the new -Wunused-but-set-variable that was added in gcc 4.6.0
It produces more false positives than useful warnings.
This can still be enabled using W=1
