When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.
On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.
ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.
The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

mm_fault_error() should not execute oom-killer, if page fault
occurs in kernel space. E.g. in copy_from_user()/copy_to_user().
This would happen if we find ourselves in OOM on a
copy_to_user(), or a copy_from_user() which faults.
Without this patch, the kernels hangs up in copy_from_user(),
because OOM killer sends SIG_KILL to current process, but it
can't handle a signal while in syscall, then the kernel returns
to copy_from_user(), reexcute current command and provokes
page_fault again.
With this patch the kernel return -EFAULT from copy_from_user().
The code, which checks that page fault occurred in kernel space,
has been copied from do_sigbus().
This situation is handled by the same way on powerpc, xtensa,
tile, ...
When au1000_eth probes the MII bus for PHY address, if we do not set
au1000_eth platform data's phy_search_highest_address, the MII probing
logic will exit early and will assume a valid PHY is found at address 0.
For MTX-1, the PHY is at address 31, and without this patch, the link
detection/speed/duplex would not work correctly.
ata_qc_complete() contains special handling for certain commands. For
example, it schedules EH for device revalidation after certain
configurations are changed. These shouldn't be applied to EH
commands but they were.
In most cases, it doesn't cause an actual problem because EH doesn't
issue any command which would trigger special handling; however, ACPI
can issue such commands via _GTF which can cause weird interactions.
Restructure ata_qc_complete() such that EH commands are always passed
on to __ata_qc_complete().

In the following commit, we'll need to use the CMD() macro in order to

Since a8f80e8ff94ecba629542d9b4b5f5a8ee3eb565c any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.
This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019.
Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

When CPU hotplug is used, some CPUs may be offline at the time a kexec is
performed. The subsequent kernel may expect these CPUs to be already running,
and will declare them stuck. On pseries, there's also a soft-offline (cede)
state that CPUs may be in; this can also cause problems as the kexeced kernel
may ask RTAS if they're online -- and RTAS would say they are. The CPU will
either appear stuck, or will cause a crash as we replace its cede loop beneath
it.
This patch kicks each present offline CPU awake before the kexec, so that
none are forever lost to these assumptions in the subsequent kernel.
Now, the behaviour is that all available CPUs that were offlined are now
online & usable after the kexec. This mimics the behaviour of a full reboot
(on which all CPUs will be restarted).

Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally
requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of
memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs.
This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid.
It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL. For the common case where
a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE
down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs.
This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB

IOMMU table initialized, virtual merging enabled
Interrupt 155954 (real) is invalid, disabling it.
Interrupt 155953 (real) is invalid, disabling it.
ie we took some spurious interrupts. default_machine_crash_shutdown tries
to disable all interrupt sources but uses chip->disable which maps to
the default action of:
static void default_disable(unsigned int irq)
{
}
If we use chip->shutdown, then we actually mask the IRQ:
We wrap the crash_shutdown_handles[] calls with longjmp/setjmp, so if any
of them fault we can recover. The problem is we add a hook to the debugger
fault handler hook which calls longjmp unconditionally.
This first part of kdump is run before we marshall the other CPUs, so there
is a very good chance some CPU on the box is going to page fault. And when
it does it hits the longjmp code and assumes the context of the oopsing CPU.
The machine gets very confused when it has 10 CPUs all with the same stack,
all thinking they have the same CPU id. I get even more confused trying
to debug it.
The patch below adds crash_shutdown_cpu and uses it to specify which cpu is
in the protected region. Since it can only be -1 or the oopsing CPU, we don't
need to use memory barriers since it is only valid on the local CPU - no other
CPU will ever see a value that matches it's local CPU id.
Eventually we should switch the order and marshall all CPUs before doing the
crash_shutdown_handles[] calls, but that is a bigger fix.

Robert Swiecki reported a BUG_ON(page_mapped) from a fuzzer, punching
a hole with madvise(,, MADV_REMOVE). That path is under mutex, and
cannot be explained by lack of serialization in unmap_mapping_range().
Reviewing the code, I found one place where vm_truncate_count handling
should have been updated, when I switched at the last minute from one
way of managing the restart_addr to another: mremap move changes the
virtual addresses, so it ought to adjust the restart_addr.
But rather than exporting the notion of restart_addr from memory.c, or
converting to restart_pgoff throughout, simply reset vm_truncate_count
to 0 to force a rescan if mremap move races with preempted truncation.
We have no confirmation that this fixes Robert's BUG,
but it is a fix that's worth making anyway.

vfs_rename_other() does not lock renamed inode with i_mutex. Thus changing
i_nlink in a non-atomic manner (which happens in ext2_rename()) can corrupt
it as reported and analyzed by Josh.
In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file.
We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking
from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck
can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without
writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement
games with i_nlink which also fixes the corruption.

'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers
for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition
before opening the whole device.
this causes md_probe() to be called with a device number of a
partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number.
However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and
does the wrong thing with partition numbers.
So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of
a device number and just work with the 'whole device'.

In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll()

My Galaxy Spica needs this quirk when in modem mode, otherwise
it causes endless USB bus resets and is unusable in this mode.
Unfortunately Samsung decided to reuse ID of its old CDMA phone SGH-I500
for the modem part.
That's why in addition to this patch the visor driver must be prevented
from binding to SPH-I500 ID, so ACM driver can do that.

[USB]Add Samsung SGH-I500/Android modem ID switch to visor driver
Samsung decided to reuse USB ID of its old CDMA phone SGH-I500 for the
modem part of some of their Android phones. At least Galaxy Spica
is affected.
This modem needs ACM driver and does not work with visor driver which
binds the conflicting ID for SGH-I500.
Because SGH-I500 is pretty an old hardware its best to add switch to
visor
driver in cause somebody still wants to use that phone with Linux.
Note that this is needed only when using the Android phone as modem,
not in USB storage or ADB mode.

This patch (as1448) adds a quirks entry for the Keytouch QWERTY Panel

enumeration when the computer asks for its configuration string
descriptor.
The idle timer could trigger after clock had been disabled leading to
kernel panic when MUSB_DEVCTL is accessed in musb_do_idle on 2.6.37.
The fault below is no longer triggered on 2.6.38-rc4 (clock is disabled
later, and only if compiled as a module, and the offending memory access
has moved) but the timer should be cancelled nonetheless.
Don't allow everybody to change ACPI settings. The comment says that it
is done deliberatelly, however, the comment before disp_proc_write()
says that at least one of these setting is experimental.
With CONFIG_SHIRQ_DEBUG=y we call a newly installed interrupt handler
in request_threaded_irq().
The original implementation (commit a304e1b8) called the handler
_BEFORE_ it was installed, but that caused problems with handlers
calling disable_irq_nosync(). See commit 377bf1e4.
It's braindead in the first place to call disable_irq_nosync in shared
handlers, but ....
Moving this call after we installed the handler looks innocent, but it
is very subtle broken on SMP.
Interrupt handlers rely on the fact, that the irq core prevents
reentrancy.
Now this debug call violates that promise because we run the handler
w/o the IRQ_INPROGRESS protection - which we cannot apply here because
that would result in a possibly forever masked interrupt line.
A concurrent real hardware interrupt on a different CPU results in
handler reentrancy and can lead to complete wreckage, which was
unfortunately observed in reality and took a fricking long time to
debug.
Leave the code here for now. We want this debug feature, but that's
not easy to fix. We really should get rid of those
disable_irq_nosync() abusers and remove that function completely.

The lower filesystem may do some type of inode revalidation during a
getattr call. eCryptfs should take advantage of that by copying the
lower inode attributes to the eCryptfs inode after a call to
vfs_getattr() on the lower inode.
I originally wrote this fix while working on eCryptfs on nfsv3 support,
but discovered it also fixed an eCryptfs on ext4 nanosecond timestamp
bug that was reported.

tcp_select_initial_window() does a divide by a zero (or
even negative) mss value.
The problem is that sometimes we effectively subtract
TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_ALIGNED and/or TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED from the mss.

The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes to be
ordered without adding an explicit barrier.
In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data.
With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a
stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it.
The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header and data
are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order we may have data
that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use hardware checksumming this
bad data is never verified and it makes it all the way to the application.
This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has been shown
to fix it.

In prepare_kernel_cred() since 2.6.29, put_cred(new) is called without
assigning new->usage when security_prepare_creds() returned an error. As a
result, memory for new and refcount for new->{user,group_info,tgcred} are
leaked because put_cred(new) won't call __put_cred() unless old->usage == 1.
Fix these leaks by assigning new->usage (and new->subscribers which was added
in 2.6.32) before calling security_prepare_creds().
In cred_alloc_blank() since 2.6.32, abort_creds(new) is called with
new->security == NULL and new->magic == 0 when security_cred_alloc_blank()
returns an error. As a result, BUG() will be triggered if SELinux is enabled
or CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y, BUG() is called from __invalid_creds() because
cred->magic == 0. Failing that, BUG() is called from selinux_cred_free()
because selinux_cred_free() is not expecting cred->security == NULL. This does
not affect smack_cred_free(), tomoyo_cred_free() or apparmor_cred_free().
Fix these bugs by
(1) Set new->magic before calling security_cred_alloc_blank().
(2) Handle null cred->security in creds_are_invalid() and selinux_cred_free().
In get_empty_filp() since 2.6.29, file_free(f) is called with f->f_cred == NULL
when security_file_alloc() returned an error. As a result, kernel will panic()
due to put_cred(NULL) call within RCU callback.
Fix this bug by assigning f->f_cred before calling security_file_alloc().
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.
What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():
However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.
If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.
We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.
Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:
If the guest domain has been suspend/resumed or migrated, then the
system clock backing the pvclock clocksource may revert to a smaller
value (ie, can be non-monotonic across the migration/save-restore).
Make sure we zero last_value in that case so that the domain
continues to see clock updates.
x25 does not decrement the network device reference counts on module unload.
Thus unregistering any pre-existing interface after unloading the x25 module
hangs and results in
unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 1
This patch decrements the reference counts of all interfaces in x25_link_free,
the way it is already done in x25_link_device_down for NETDEV_DOWN events.

The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a
pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this
array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the
comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will
fail when provided with a negative index.
This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to
an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with
permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is
readable by group "cdrom").

If ocfs2_live_connection_list is empty, ocfs2_connection_find() will return
a pointer to the LIST_HEAD, cast as a ocfs2_live_connection. This can cause
an oops when ocfs2_control_send_down() dereferences c->oc_conn:
The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids
array and attempts to ensure that only a supported hmac entry is
returned. The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id
in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the
id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an
out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent
function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption. This patch resets
the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be
returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found.

There's a branch at the end of this function that
is supposed to normalize the return value with what
the mid-layer expects. In this one case, we get it wrong.
Also increase the verbosity of the INFO level printk
at the end of mptscsih_abort to include the actual return value
and the scmd->serial_number. The reason being success
or failure is actually determined by the state of
the internal tag list when a TMF is issued, and not the
return value of the TMF cmd. The serial_number is also
used in this decision, thus it's useful to know for debugging
purposes.

If nfsd fails to find an exported via NFS file in the readahead cache, it
should increment corresponding nfsdstats counter (ra_depth[10]), but due to a
bug it may instead write to ra_depth[11], corrupting the following field.
In a kernel with NFSDv4 compiled in the corruption takes the form of an
increment of a counter of the number of NFSv4 operation 0's received; since
there is no operation 0, this is harmless.
In a kernel with NFSDv4 disabled it corrupts whatever happens to be in the
memory beyond nfsdstats.

When there's an xHCI host power loss after a suspend from memory, the USB
core attempts to reset and verify the USB devices that are attached to the
system. The xHCI driver has to reallocate those devices, since the
hardware lost all knowledge of them during the power loss.
When a hub is plugged in, and the host loses power, the xHCI hardware
structures are not updated to say the device is a hub. This is usually
done in hub_configure() when the USB hub is detected. That function is
skipped during a reset and verify by the USB core, since the core restores
the old configuration and alternate settings, and the hub driver has no
idea this happened. This bug makes the xHCI host controller reject the
enumeration of low speed devices under the resumed hub.
Therefore, make the USB core re-setup the internal xHCI hub device
information by calling update_hub_device() when hub_activate() is called
for a hub reset resume. After a host power loss, all devices under the
roothub get a reset-resume or a disconnect.
This patch should be queued for the 2.6.37 stable tree.
