If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not
otherwise reset before do_exit(). do_exit may later (via mm_release in
fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing
a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory.
This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this
potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's
worth fixing. I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along
with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so
I've tested that this is not theoretical.
A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has
occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing
every architecture, in multiple places.
The attribute cache for a file was not being cleared when a file is opened
with O_TRUNC.
If the filesystem's open operation truncates the file ("atomic_o_trunc"
feature flag is set) then the kernel should invalidate the cached st_mtime
and st_ctime attributes.
Also i_size should be explicitly be set to zero as it is used sometimes
without refreshing the cache.

RTS and DTR should not be modified based on CRTSCTS when calling
set_termios.
Modem control lines are raised at port open by the tty layer and should stay
raised regardless of whether hardware flow control is enabled or not.
This is in conformance with the way serial ports work today and many
applications depend on this behaviour to be able to talk to hardware
implementing hardware flow control (without the applications actually using
it).
Hardware which expects different behaviour on these lines can always
use TIOCMSET/TIOCMBI[SC] after port open to change them.

This patch (as1435) fixes an obscure and unlikely race in ehci-hcd.
When an async URB is unlinked, the corresponding QH is removed from
the async list. If the QH's endpoint is then disabled while the URB
is being given back, ehci_endpoint_disable() won't find the QH on the
async list, causing it to believe that the QH has been lost. This
will lead to a memory leak at best and quite possibly to an oops.
The solution is to trust usbcore not to lose track of endpoints. If
the QH isn't on the async list then it doesn't need to be taken off
the list, but the driver should still wait for the QH to become IDLE
before disabling it.
In theory this fixes Bugzilla #20182. In fact the race is so rare
that it's not possible to tell whether the bug is still present.
However, adding delays and making other changes to force the race
seems to show that the patch works.

Some Apple machines have identical DMI data but different memory
configurations for the video. Given that, check that the address in our
table is actually within the range of a PCI BAR on a VGA device in the
machine.
This also fixes up the return value from set_system(), which has always
been wrong, but never resulted in bad behavior since there's only ever
been one matching entry in the dmi table.
The patch
1) stops people's machines from crashing when we get their display wrong,
which seems to be unfortunately inevitable,
2) allows us to support identical dmi data with differing video memory
configurations

This code seems to be asking for a shared read/write mapping of 16MB worth of
BAR0 starting at file offset 0, and letting the kernel assign a starting
address. Unfortunately, this -EINVAL causes X not to start. Looking into
dmesg, there's a complaint like so:
process "Xorg" tried to map 0x01000000 bytes at page 0x00000000 on 0000:07:00.0 BAR 0 (start 0x 96000000, size 0x 1000000)
It looks like the logic here is set up such that when the mmap call comes via
sysfs, the check in pci_mmap_fits wants vma->vm_pgoff to be between the
resource's start and end address, and the end of the vma to be no farther than
the end. However, the sysfs PCI resource files always start at offset zero,
which means that this test always fails for programs that mmap the sysfs files.
Given the comment in the original commit 3b519e4ea618b6943a82931630872907f9ac2c2b, I _think_ the old procfs files
require that the file offset be equal to the resource's base address when
mmapping.
I think what we want here is for pci_start to be 0 when mmap_api ==
PCI_MMAP_PROCFS. The following patch makes that change, after which the Matrox
and Mach64 X drivers work again.

The checks for valid mmaps of PCI resources made through /proc/bus/pci files
that were introduced in 9eff02e2042f96fb2aedd02e032eca1c5333d767 have several
problems:
1. mmap() calls on /proc/bus/pci files are made with real file offsets > 0,
whereas under /sys/bus/pci/devices, the start of the resource corresponds
to offset 0. This may lead to false negatives in pci_mmap_fits(), which
implicitly assumes the /sys/bus/pci/devices layout.
2. The loop in proc_bus_pci_mmap doesn't skip empty resouces. This leads
to false positives, because pci_mmap_fits() doesn't treat empty resources
correctly (the calculated size is 1 << (8*sizeof(resource_size_t)-PAGE_SHIFT)
in this case!).
3. If a user maps resources with BAR > 0, pci_mmap_fits will emit bogus
WARNINGS for the first resources that don't fit until the correct one is found.
On many controllers the first 2-4 BARs are used, and the others are empty.
In this case, an mmap attempt will first fail on the non-empty BARs
(including the "right" BAR because of 1.) and emit bogus WARNINGS because
of 3., and finally succeed on the first empty BAR because of 2.
This is certainly not the intended behaviour.
This patch addresses all 3 issues.
Updated with an enum type for the additional parameter for pci_mmap_fits().
SCSI commands may be issued between __scsi_add_device() and dev->sdev
assignment, so it's unsafe for ata_qc_complete() to dereference
dev->sdev->locked without checking whether it's NULL or not. Fix it.
It makes sense for a BO to move after a process has requested
exclusive RW access on it (e.g. because the BO used to be located in
unmappable VRAM and we intercepted the CPU access from the fault
handler).
If we let the ghost object inherit cpu_writers from the original

If the iovec is being set up in a way that causes uaddr + PAGE_SIZE
to overflow, we could end up attempting to map a huge number of
pages. Check for this invalid input type.
70 hours into some stress tests of a 2.6.32-based enterprise kernel, we
ran into a NULL dereference in here:
int block_is_partially_uptodate(struct page *page, read_descriptor_t *desc,
unsigned long from)
{
----> struct inode *inode = page->mapping->host;
It looks like page->mapping was the culprit. (xmon trace is below).
After closer examination, I realized that do_generic_file_read() does a
find_get_page(), and eventually locks the page before calling
block_is_partially_uptodate(). However, it doesn't revalidate the
page->mapping after the page is locked. So, there's a small window
between the find_get_page() and ->is_partially_uptodate() where the page
could get truncated and page->mapping cleared.
We _have_ a reference, so it can't get reclaimed, but it certainly
can be truncated.
I think the correct thing is to check page->mapping after the
trylock_page(), and jump out if it got truncated. This patch has been
running in the test environment for a month or so now, and we have not
seen this bug pop up again.

When handling an AR buffer that has been completely filled, we assumed
that its descriptor will not be read by the controller and can be
overwritten. However, when the last received packet happens to end at
the end of the buffer, the controller might not yet have moved on to the
next buffer and might read the branch address later. If we overwrite
and free the page before that, the DMA context will either go dead
because of an invalid Z value, or go off into some random memory.
To fix this, ensure that the descriptor does not get overwritten by
using only the actual buffer instead of the entire page for reassembling
the split packet. Furthermore, to avoid freeing the page too early,
move on to the next buffer only when some data in it guarantees that the
controller has moved on.
This should eliminate the remaining firewire-net problems.

When the controller had to split a received asynchronous packet into two
buffers, the driver tries to reassemble it by copying both parts into
the first page. However, if size + rest > PAGE_SIZE, i.e., if the yet
unhandled packets before the split packet, the split packet itself, and
any received packets after the split packet are together larger than one
page, then the memory after the first page would get overwritten.
To fix this, do not try to copy the data of all unhandled packets at
once, but copy the possibly needed data every time when handling
a packet.
This gets rid of most of the infamous crashes and data corruptions when
using firewire-net.

It was removed in 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into
a proper refcount), but we need to wait for last user to quit the
ldisc before we close it in tty_set_ldisc.
Otherwise weird things start to happen. There might be processes
waiting in tty_read->n_tty_read on tty->read_wait for input to appear
and at that moment, a change of ldisc is fatal. n_tty_close is called,
it frees read_buf and the waiting process is still in the middle of
reading and goes nuts after it is woken.
Previously we prevented close to happen when others are in ldisc ops
by tty_ldisc_wait_idle in tty_set_ldisc. But the commit above removed
that. So revoke the change and test whether there is 1 user (=we), and
allow the close then.
We can do that without ldisc/tty locks, because nobody else can open
the device due to TTY_LDISC_CHANGING bit set, so we in fact wait for
everybody to leave.
I don't understand why tty_ldisc_lock would be needed either when the
counter is an atomic variable, so this is a lockless
tty_ldisc_wait_idle.
On the other hand, if we fail to wait (timeout or signal), we have to
reenable the halted ldiscs, so we take ldisc lock and reuse the setup
path at the end of tty_set_ldisc.

There's a small window inside the flush_to_ldisc function,
where the tty is unlocked and calling ldisc's receive_buf
function. If in this window new buffer is added to the tty,
the processing might never leave the flush_to_ldisc function.
This scenario will hog the cpu, causing other tty processing
starving, and making it impossible to interface the computer
via tty.
I was able to exploit this via pty interface by sending only
control characters to the master input, causing the flush_to_ldisc
to be scheduled, but never actually generate any output.

When trying to grow an array by enlarging component devices,
rdev_size_store() expects the return value of rdev_size_change() to be

Commit 4044ba58dd15cb01797c4fd034f39ef4a75f7cc3 supposedly fixed a
problem where if a raid1 with just one good device gets a read-error
during recovery, the recovery would abort and immediately restart in
an infinite loop.
However it depended on raid1_remove_disk removing the spare device
from the array. But that does not happen in this case. So add a test
so that in the 'recovery_disabled' case, the device will be removed.
This suitable for any kernel since 2.6.29 which is when
recovery_disabled was introduced.
eCryptfs was passing the LOOKUP_OPEN flag through to the lower file

resulting in unencrypted writes to the lower file.
However, this is only a potential problem in filesystems (FUSE, NFS,
CIFS, CEPH, 9p) that eCryptfs isn't known to support today.

The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of
uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete
version of the semid_ds struct.
The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack
and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the
"sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers,
allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory.
The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl()

Xen will shoot all the VCPUs when we do a shutdown hypercall, so there's
no need to do it manually.
In any case it will fail because all the IPI irqs have been pulled
down by this point, so the cross-CPU calls will simply hang forever.
Until change 76fac077db6b34e2c6383a7b4f3f4f7b7d06d8ce the function calls
were not synchronously waited for, so this wasn't apparent. However after
that change the calls became synchronous leading to a hang on shutdown
on multi-VCPU guests.
All event channels startbound to VCPU 0 so ensure that cpu_evtchn_mask
is initialised to reflect this. Otherwise there is a race after registering an
event channel but before the affinity is explicitly set where the event channel
can be delivered. If this happens then the event channel remains pending in the
L1 (evtchn_pending) array but is cleared in L2 (evtchn_pending_sel), this means
the event channel cannot be reraised until another event channel happens to
trigger the same L2 entry on that VCPU.
sizeof(cpu_evtchn_mask(0))==sizeof(unsigned long*) which is not correct, and
causes only the first 32 or 64 event channels (depending on architecture) to be
initially bound to VCPU0. Use sizeof(struct cpu_evtchn_s) instead.

The linker script cleanup that I did in commit 5d150a97f93 ("um: Clean up

ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE) when converting to use INIT_TEXT_SECTION; Richard
Weinberger reported that this causes the kernel to segfault with
CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y.
I'm not certain why this extra alignment is a problem, but it seems likely
it is because previously
__init_begin = _stext = _text = _sinittext
and with the extra ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE), _sinittext becomes different from the
rest. So there is likely a bug here where something is assuming that
_sinittext is the same as one of those other symbols. But reverting the
accidental change fixes the regression, so it seems worth committing that
now.

When the initialization code in hpet finds a memory resource and does not
find an IRQ, it does not unmap the memory resource previously mapped.
There are buggy BIOSes which report resources exactly like this and what
is worse the memory region bases point to normal RAM. This normally would
not matter since the space is not touched. But when PAT is turned on,
ioremap causes the page to be uncached and sets this bit in page->flags.
Then when the page is about to be used by the allocator, it is reported
as:
BUG: Bad page state in process md5sum pfn:3ed00
page:ffffea0000dbd800 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0x0

...
2) there is no IRQ resource reported by HPET method. On the other
hand, the Intel HPET specs (1.0a) says (3.2.5.1):
_CRS (
// Report 1K of memory consumed by this Timer Block
memory range consumed
// Optional: only used if BIOS allocates Interrupts [1]
IRQs consumed
)
[1] For case where Timer Block is configured to consume IRQ0/IRQ8 AND
Legacy 8254/Legacy RTC hardware still exists, the device objects
associated with 8254 & RTC devices should not report IRQ0/IRQ8 as
"consumed resources".
So in theory we should check whether if it is the case and use those
interrupts instead.
Anyway the address reported by the BIOS here is bogus, so non-presence
of IRQ doesn't mean the "optional" part in point 2).
Since I got no reply previously, fix this by simply unmapping the space
when IRQ is not found and memory region was mapped previously. It would
be probably more safe to walk the resources again and unmap appropriately
depending on type. But as we now use only ioremap for both 2 memory
resource types, it is not necessarily needed right now.

Clearing the HPET interrupt enable bit disables interrupt generation
but does not disable the timer, so the interrupt status bit will still
be set when the timer elapses. If another interrupt arrives before
the timer has been correctly programmed (due to some other device on
the same interrupt line, or CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), this results in an
extra unwanted interrupt event because the status bit is likely to be
set from comparator matches that happened before the device was opened.
Therefore, we have to ensure that the interrupt status bit is and
stays cleared until we actually program the timer.

reiserfs_acl_chmod() can be called by reiserfs_set_attr() and then take
the reiserfs lock a second time. Thereafter it may call journal_begin()
that definitely requires the lock not to be nested in order to release
it before taking the journal mutex because the reiserfs lock depends on
the journal mutex already.
So, aviod nesting the lock in reiserfs_acl_chmod().
Calling ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL with a large rule_cnt will allocate kernel
heap without clearing it. For the one driver (niu) that implements it,
it will leave the unused portion of heap unchanged and copy the full

The function __scsi_remove_target iterates through the SCSI devices on
the host, but it drops the host_lock before calling
scsi_remove_device. When the SCSI device is deleted from another
thread, the pointer to the SCSI device in scsi_remove_device can
become invalid. Fix this by getting a reference to the SCSI device
before dropping the host_lock to keep the SCSI device alive for the
call to scsi_remove_device.
gdth_ioctl_alloc() takes the size variable as an int.
copy_from_user() takes the size variable as an unsigned long.
gen.data_len and gen.sense_len are unsigned longs.
On x86_64 longs are 64 bit and ints are 32 bit.
We could pass in a very large number and the allocation would truncate
the size to 32 bits and allocate a small buffer. Then when we do the
copy_from_user(), it would result in a memory corruption.

A few devices (such as the RCA VR5220 voice recorder) are so
non-compliant with the USB spec that they have invalid maxpacket sizes
for endpoint 0. Nevertheless, as long as we can safely use them, we
may as well do so.
This patch (as1432) softens our acceptance criterion by allowing
high-speed devices to have ep0-maxpacket sizes other than 64. A
warning is printed in the system log when this happens, and the
existing error message is clarified.

The bulk-read callback had two bugs:
a) The bulk-in packet's leading two zeros were returned (and the two last
bytes truncated)
b) The wrong URB was transmitted for the second (and later) read requests,
causing further reads to return the entire packet (including leading
zeros)
This patch (as1430) fixes a bug in usbcore. When a device
configuration change occurs or a device is removed, the endpoints for
the old config should be completely disabled. However it turns out
they aren't; this is because usb_unbind_interface() calls
usb_enable_interface() or usb_set_interface() to put interfaces back
in altsetting 0, which re-enables the interfaces' endpoints.
As a result, when a device goes through a config change or is
unconfigured, the ep_in[] and ep_out[] arrays may be left holding old
pointers to usb_host_endpoint structures. If the device is
deauthorized these structures get freed, and the stale pointers cause
errors when the the device is eventually unplugged.
The solution is to disable the endpoints after unbinding the
interfaces instead of before. This isn't as large a change as it
sounds, since usb_unbind_interface() disables all the interface's
endpoints anyway before calling the driver's disconnect routine,
unless the driver claims to support "soft" unbind.
This fixes Bugzilla #19192. Thanks to "Tom" Lei Ming for diagnosing
the underlying cause of the problem.

The copy of /proc/vmcore to a user buffer proceeds much faster
if the kernel addresses memory as cached.
With this patch we have seen an increase in transfer rate from
less than 15MB/s to 80-460MB/s, depending on size of the
transfer. This makes a big difference in time needed to save a
system dump.
Currently the redirection hint in the interrupt-remapping table entry
is set to 0, which means the remapped interrupt is directed to the
processors listed in the destination. So in logical flat mode
in the presence of intr-remapping, this results in a single
interrupt multi-casted to multiple cpu's as specified by the destination
bit mask. But what we really want is to send that interrupt to one of the cpus
based on the lowest priority delivery mode.
Set the redirection hint in the IRTE to '1' to indicate that we want
the remapped interrupt to be directed to only one of the processors
listed in the destination.
This fixes the issue of same interrupt getting delivered to multiple cpu's
in the logical flat mode in the presence of interrupt-remapping. While
there is no functional issue observed with this behavior, this will
impact performance of such configurations (<=8 cpu's using logical flat
mode in the presence of interrupt-remapping)

"wait" this allows the caller to specify if it wants to stop until all

During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing
ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed
vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next()
is chewing up most of that time).
This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It
causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the
vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()).
With this patch we have seen the time for writing a 250MB
compressed dump drop from 71 seconds to 44 seconds.
futex_wait() is leaking key references due to futex_wait_setup()
acquiring an additional reference via the queue_lock() routine. The
nested key ref-counting has been masking bugs and complicating code
analysis. queue_lock() is only called with a previously ref-counted
key, so remove the additional ref-counting from the queue_(un)lock()
functions.
Also futex_wait_requeue_pi() drops one key reference too many in
unqueue_me_pi(). Remove the key reference handling from
unqueue_me_pi(). This was paired with a queue_lock() in
futex_lock_pi(), so the count remains unchanged.
Document remaining nested key ref-counting sites.
