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.
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:
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.

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.

We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit b0de59b5733d: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then
limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c76595: "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.
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.

ARM processors with LPAE enabled use 3 levels of page tables, with an
entry in the top level (pgd) covering 1GB of virtual space. Because of
the branch relocation limitations on ARM, the loadable modules are
mapped 16MB below PAGE_OFFSET, making the corresponding 1GB pgd shared
between kernel modules and user space.
If free_pgtables() is called with the default ceiling 0,
free_pgd_range() (and subsequently called functions) also frees the page
table shared between user space and kernel modules (which is normally
handled by the ARM-specific pgd_free() function). This patch changes
defines the ARM USER_PGTABLES_CEILING to TASK_SIZE when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
is enabled.
Note that the pgd_free() function already checks the presence of the
shared pmd page allocated by pgd_alloc() and frees it, though with
ceiling 0 this wasn't necessary.

The serial core uses device_find_child() but does not drop the reference to
the retrieved child after using it. This patch add the missing put_device().
What I have done to test this issue.
I used a machine with an AMBA PL011 serial driver. I tested the patch on
next-20120408 because the last branch [next-20120415] does not boot on this
board.
For test purpose, I added some pr_info() messages to print the refcount
after device_find_child() (lines: 1937,2009), and after put_device()
(lines: 1947, 2021).
While we don't use the spinlock interrupt line (see for details
commit f10cd522c5fbfec9ae3cc01967868c9c2401ed23 -
xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM) - we should still do the proper
init / deinit sequence. We did not do that correctly and for the
CPU init for PVHVM guest we would allocate an interrupt line - but
failed to deallocate the old interrupt line.
This resulted in leakage of an irq_desc but more importantly this splat
as we online an offlined CPU:
In the PVHVM path when we do CPU online/offline path we would
leak the timer%d IRQ line everytime we do a offline event. The
online path (xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents via
x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev) would allocate a new interrupt
line for the timer%d.
But we would still use the old interrupt line leading to:

The solution to that is use kasprintf in the CPU hotplug path
that 'online's the CPU. That is, do it in in xen_hvm_cpu_notify,
and remove the call to in xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents.
Unfortunatly the later is not a good idea as the bootup path
does not use xen_hvm_cpu_notify so we would end up never allocating
timer%d interrupt lines when booting. As such add the check for

In case a machine supports memory hotplug all active memory increments
present at IPL time have been initialized with a "usecount" of 1.
This is wrong if the memory increment size is larger than the memory
section size of the memory hotplug code. If that is the case the
usecount must be initialized with the number of memory sections that
fit into one memory increment.
Otherwise it is possible to put a memory increment into standby state
even if there are still active sections.
Afterwards addressing exceptions might happen which cause the kernel
to panic.
However even worse, if a memory increment was put into standby state
and afterwards into active state again, it's contents would have been
zeroed, leading to memory corruption.
This was only an issue for machines that support standby memory and
have at least 256GB memory.
This is broken since commit fdb1bb15 "[S390] sclp/memory hotplug: fix
initial usecount of increments".
Many cards based on CY7C68300A/B/C use the USB ID 04b4:6830 but only the
B and C variants (EZ-USB AT2LP) support the ATA Command Block
functionality, according to the data sheets. The A variant (EZ-USB AT2)
locks up if ATACB is attempted, until a typical 30 seconds timeout runs
out and a USB reset is performed.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428469
It seems that one way to spot a CY7C68300A (at least where the card
manufacturer left Cypress' EEPROM default vaules, against Cypress'
recommendations) is to look at the USB string descriptor indices.

B http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/43456.pdf

Note that a CY7C68300B/C chip appears as CY7C68300A if it is running
in Backward Compatibility Mode, and if ATACB would be supported in this
case there is anyway no way to tell which chip it really is.

The udc uses an shared dma memory space between hard and software. This
memory layout is described in ci13xxx_qh and ci13xxx_td which are marked
with the attribute ((packed)).
The compiler currently does not know about the alignment of the memory
layout, and will create strb and ldrb operations.
The Datasheet of the synopsys core describes, that some operations on
the mapped memory need to be atomic double word operations. I.e. the
next pointer addressing in the qhead, as otherwise the hardware will
read wrong data and totally stuck.
This is also possible while working with the current active td queue,
and preparing the td->ptr.next in software while the hardware is still
working with the current active td which is supposed to be changed:
This appeares on armv5 machines where the hardware does not support
unaligned 32bit operations.
This patch adds the attribute ((aligned(4))) to the structures to tell
the compiler to use 32bit operations. It also adds an wmb() for the
prepared TD data before it gets enqueued into the qhead.

The windows driver makes a ctrl-req with USB_TYPE_CLASS and

Since Stanislaw's patches, when suspending while connected,
cfg80211 will disconnect. This causes the AP station to be
removed, which uses call_rcu() to clean up. Due to needing
process context, this queues a work struct on the mac80211
workqueue. This will warn and fail when already suspended,
which can happen if the rcu call doesn't happen quickly.
To fix this, replace the synchronize_net() which is really
just synchronize_rcu_expedited() with rcu_barrier(), which
unlike synchronize_rcu() waits until RCU callback have run
and thus avoids this issue.
In theory, this can even happen without Stanislaw's change
to disconnect on suspend since userspace might disconnect
just before suspending, though then it's unlikely that the
call_rcu() will be delayed long enough.

POWER8 allows us to take interrupts with the MMU on. This gives us a

Before queueing a packet into a frag list, we must drop its dst,
as this dst has limited lifetime (RCU protected)
When/if a packet is finally reassembled, we use the dst of the very

reassembled packet.
Use same logic in IPv6, as there is no need to hold dst references.

The mvmdio driver uses the phylib API, so it should select the PHYLIB
symbol, otherwise, a build with mvmdio (but without mvneta) fails to
build with undefined symbols such as mdiobus_unregister, mdiobus_free,
etc.
The mvneta driver does not use the phylib API directly, so it does not
need to select PHYLIB. It already selects the mvmdio driver anyway.
Historically, this problem is due to the fact that the PHY handling
was originally part of mvneta, and was later moved to a separate
driver, without updating the Kconfig select statements
accordingly. And since there was no functional reason to use mvmdio
without mvneta, this case was not tested.

Tetja Rediske found that if the host receives an ICMPv6 redirect message
after sending a SYN+ACK, the connection will be reset.
He bisected it down to 093d04d (ipv6: Change skb->data before using
icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect), but the origin of the bug comes
from ec18d9a26 (ipv6: Add redirect support to all protocol icmp error
handlers.). The bug simply did not trigger prior to 093d04d, because
skb->data did not point to the inner IP header and thus icmpv6_notify
did not call the correct err_handler.
This patch adds the missing "goto out;" in tcp_v6_err. After receiving
an ICMPv6 Redirect, we should not continue processing the ICMP in
tcp_v6_err, as this may trigger the removal of request-socks or setting
sk_err(_soft).

Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code
to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary.
nf_reset() is used in the following cases:
- when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to
release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while
the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point.
- when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue
tracing these packets after IPsec processing.
- when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on
that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not
used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should
be traced after that, however we've always done that.
- when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the
packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases
where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the
original patch intended to fix.
Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to
fix this properly.

It was reported that the following LSB test case failed
https://lsbbugs.linuxfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=2144 because we
were not coallescing unix stream messages when the application was
expecting us to.
The problem was that the first send was before the socket was accepted
and thus sock->sk_socket was NULL in maybe_add_creds, and the second
send after the socket was accepted had a non-NULL value for sk->socket
and thus we could tell the credentials were not needed so we did not
bother.
The unnecessary credentials on the first message cause
unix_stream_recvmsg to start verifying that all messages had the same
credentials before coallescing and then the coallescing failed because
the second message had no credentials.
Ignoring credentials when we don't care in unix_stream_recvmsg fixes a
long standing pessimization which would fail to coallesce messages when
reading from a unix stream socket if the senders were different even if
we did not care about their credentials.
I have tested this and verified that the in the LSB test case mentioned
above that the messages do coallesce now, while the were failing to
coallesce without this change.

More generally, the transport header might not be in the skb head.

A few drivers use dev_uc_sync/unsync to synchronize the
address lists from master down to slave/lower devices. In
some cases (bond/team) a single address list is synched down
to multiple devices. At the time of unsync, we have a leak
in these lower devices, because "synced" is treated as a
boolean and the address will not be unsynced for anything after
the first device/call.
Treat "synced" as a count (same as refcount) and allow all

IPv6 Routing table becomes broken once we do ifdown, ifup of the loopback(lo)
interface. After down-up, routes of other interface's IPv6 addresses through
'lo' are lost.
IPv6 addresses assigned to all interfaces are routed through 'lo' for internal
communication. Once 'lo' is down, those routing entries are removed from routing
table. But those removed entries are not being re-created properly when 'lo' is
brought up. So IPv6 addresses of other interfaces becomes unreachable from the
same machine. Also this breaks communication with other machines because of
NDISC packet processing failure.
This patch fixes this issue by reading all interface's IPv6 addresses and adding
them to IPv6 routing table while bringing up 'lo'.

This happen because of q->now changes incorrectly in cbq_dequeue():
when it is called before real end of packet transmitting,

but never compensate it.

As reported by Dave Kleikamp, when we emit cross calls to do batched
TLB flush processing we have a race because we do not synchronize on
the sibling cpus completing the cross call.
So meanwhile the TLB batch can be reset (tb->tlb_nr set to zero, etc.)
and either flushes are missed or flushes will flush the wrong
addresses.
Fix this by using generic infrastructure to synchonize on the
completion of the cross call.
This first required getting the flush_tlb_pending() call out from
switch_to() which operates with locks held and interrupts disabled.
The problem is that smp_call_function_many() cannot be invoked with
IRQs disabled and this is explicitly checked for with WARN_ON_ONCE().
We get the batch processing outside of locked IRQ disabled sections by
using some ideas from the powerpc port. Namely, we only batch inside
of arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() calls. If we're not in such a
region, we flush TLBs synchronously.
1) Get rid of xcall_flush_tlb_pending and per-cpu type
implementations.
a) Add 'active' member to struct tlb_batch
b) Define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE
c) Set 'active' in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
d) Run batch and clear 'active' in arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
e) Check 'active' in tlb_batch_add_one() and do a synchronous
flush if it's clear.
4) Add infrastructure for synchronous TLB page flushes.
a) Implement __flush_tlb_page and per-cpu variants, patch
as needed.
b) Likewise for xcall_flush_tlb_page.
c) Implement smp_flush_tlb_page() to invoke the cross-call.
d) Wire up global_flush_tlb_page() to the right routine based
upon CONFIG_SMP
5) It turns out that singleton batches are very common, 2 out of every
3 batch flushes have only a single entry in them.
The batch flush waiting is very expensive, both because of the poll
on sibling cpu completeion, as well as because passing the tlb batch
pointer to the sibling cpus invokes a shared memory dereference.
Therefore, in flush_tlb_pending(), if there is only one entry in
the batch perform a completely asynchronous global_flush_tlb_page()
instead.

In commit b0de59b5733d ("TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write")
we removed timestamps from tty inodes to fix a security issue and waited
if something breaks. Well, 'w', the utility to find out logged users
and their inactivity time broke. It shows that users are inactive since
the time they logged in.
To revert to the old behaviour while still preventing attackers to
guess the password length, we update the timestamps in one-minute
intervals by this patch.
On http://vladz.devzero.fr/013_ptmx-timing.php, we can see how to find
out length of a password using timestamps of /dev/ptmx. It is
documented in "Timing Analysis of Keystrokes and Timing Attacks on
SSH". To avoid that problem, do not update time when reading
from/writing to a TTY.
I am afraid of regressions as this is a behavior we have since 0.97
and apps may expect the time to be current, e.g. for monitoring
whether there was a change on the TTY. Now, there is no change. So
this would better have a lot of testing before it goes upstream.
Nothing is using it yet, but this will allow us to delay the open-time
checks to use time, without breaking the normal UNIX permission
semantics where permissions are determined by the opener (and the file
descriptor can then be passed to a different process, or the process can
drop capabilities).
lmo commit c17a6554 (MIPS: page.h: Provide more readable definition for
PAGE_MASK) apparently breaks ioremap of 36-bit addresses on my Alchemy
systems (PCI and PCMCIA) The reason is that in arch/mips/mm/ioremap.c
line 157 (phys_addr &= PAGE_MASK) bits 32-35 are cut off. Seems the
new PAGE_MASK is explicitly 32bit, or one could make it signed instead
of unsigned long.
Commit b4cbb197c7e7 ("vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function") added
a helper function wrapper around io_remap_pfn_range(), and every other
architecture defined it in <asm/pgtable.h>.
The s390 choice of <asm/io.h> may make sense, but is not very convenient
for this case, and gratuitous differences like that cause unexpected errors like this:
mm/memory.c: In function 'vm_iomap_memory':
mm/memory.c:2439:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'io_remap_pfn_range' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
Glory be the kbuild test robot who noticed this, bisected it, and
reported it to the guilty parties (ie me).
While trying to track down a tree log replay bug I noticed that fsck was always
complaining about nbytes not being right for our fsynced file. That is because
the new fsync stuff doesn't wait for ordered extents to complete, so the inodes
nbytes are not necessarily updated properly when we log it. So to fix this we
need to set nbytes to whatever it is on the inode that is on disk, so when we
replay the extents we can just add the bytes that are being added as we replay
the extent. This makes it work for the case that we have the wrong nbytes or
the case that we logged everything and nbytes is actually correct. With this
I'm no longer getting nbytes errors out of btrfsck.

This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The mtdchar
case is actually disabled right now (and stays disabled), but I did it
because it showed up on my "git grep", and I was familiar with the code
due to fixing an overflow problem in the code in commit 9c603e53d380

This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The
fb_mmap() case is a good example because it is a bit more complicated
than some: fb_mmap() mmaps one of two different memory areas depending
on the page offset of the mmap (but happily there is never any mixing of
the two, so the helper function still works).
Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory
buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be
very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases
to use.
Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies
things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a
denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around,
and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means
that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level.
It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things
like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really
need to.
So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range
into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more
natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver.
Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for
things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually
relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of
the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.
Changing uid/gid/projid mappings doesn't change your id within the
namespace; it reconfigures the namespace. Unprivileged programs should
*not* be able to write these files. (We're also checking the privileges
on the wrong task.)
Given the write-once nature of these files and the other security
checks, this is likely impossible to usefully exploit.

When we require privilege for setting /proc/<pid>/uid_map or
/proc/<pid>/gid_map no longer allow an unprivileged user to
open the file and pass it to a privileged program to write
to the file.
Instead when privilege is required require both the opener and the
writer to have the necessary capabilities.
I have tested this code and verified that setting /proc/<pid>/uid_map
fails when an unprivileged user opens the file and a privielged user
attempts to set the mapping, that unprivileged users can still map
their own id, and that a privileged users can still setup an arbitrary
mapping.

The valid mask for both offcore_response_0 and
offcore_response_1 was wrong for SNB/SNB-EP,
IVB/IVB-EP. It was possible to write to
reserved bit and cause a GP fault crashing
the kernel.
This patch fixes the problem by correctly marking the
reserved bits in the valid mask for all the processors
mentioned above.
A distinction between desktop and server parts is introduced
because bits 24-30 are only available on the server parts.
This version of the patch is just a rebase to perf/urgent tree
and should apply to older kernels as well.
Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of
attr.config passed by user space, resulting to out-of-bounds
access of the perf_swevent_enabled array in
sw_perf_event_destroy().
Introduced in commit b0a873ebb ("perf: Register PMU
implementations").

The current code does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore
makes net/socket.c leak the local sockaddr_storage variable to userland
-- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that.
And make use of it in b43. This fixes a regression introduced with 49d55cef5b1925a5c1efb6aaddaa40fc7c693335
b43: N-PHY: implement spurious tone avoidance
This commit made BCM4322 use only MCS 0 on channel 13, which of course
resulted in performance drop (down to 0.7Mb/s).
