This patch disables GartTlbWlk errors on AMD Fam10h CPUs if
the BIOS forgets to do is (or is just too old). Letting
these errors enabled can cause a sync-flood on the CPU
causing a reboot.
The AMD BKDG recommends disabling GART TLB Wlk Error completely.
Support for Always Running APIC timer (ARAT) was introduced in
commit db954b5898dd3ef3ef93f4144158ea8f97deb058. This feature
allows us to avoid switching timers from LAPIC to something else
(e.g. HPET) and go into timer broadcasts when entering deep
C-states.
AMD processors don't provide a CPUID bit for that feature but
they also keep APIC timers running in deep C-states (except for
cases when the processor is affected by erratum 400). Therefore
we should set ARAT feature bit on AMD CPUs.

Errata are defined using the AMD_LEGACY_ERRATUM() or AMD_OSVW_ERRATUM()
macros. The latter is intended for newer errata that have an OSVW id
assigned, which it takes as first argument. Both take a variable number
of family-specific model-stepping ranges created by AMD_MODEL_RANGE().
Iff an erratum has an OSVW id, OSVW is available on the CPU, and the
OSVW id is known to the hardware, it is used to determine whether an
erratum is present. Otherwise, the model-stepping ranges are matched
against the current CPU to find out whether the erratum applies.
For certain special errata, the code using this framework might have to
conduct further checks to make sure an erratum is really (not) present.

This patch fixes severe UBIFS bug: UBIFS oopses when we 'fsync()' an
file on R/O-mounter file-system. We (the UBIFS authors) incorrectly
thought that VFS would not propagate 'fsync()' down to the file-system
if it is read-only, but this is not the case.
It is easy to exploit this bug using the following simple perl script:
use strict;
use File::Sync qw(fsync sync);
die "File path is not specified" if not defined $ARGV[0];
my $path = $ARGV[0];
open FILE, "<", "$path" or die "Cannot open $path: $!";
fsync(\*FILE) or die "cannot fsync $path: $!";
close FILE or die "Cannot close $path: $!";

On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak during shmem test. The cause of this
memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2
which makes iput() can't free that pages.
The simple test file is like this:
int main(void)
{
int i;
key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);
for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
if (id == -1) {
printf("shmget error\n");
}
if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
printf("shm rm error\n");
return -1;
}
}
printf("run ok...\n");
return 0;
}

ia64_mca_cpu_init has a void *data local variable that is assigned
the value from either __get_free_pages() or mca_bootmem(). The problem
is that __get_free_pages returns an unsigned long and mca_bootmem, via
alloc_bootmem(), returns a void *. format_mca_init_stack takes the void *,
and it's also used with __pa(), but that casts it to long anyway.
This results in the following build warning:

Currently, we skip doing the is_path_accessible check in cifs_mount if
there is no prefixpath. I have a report of at least one server however
that allows a TREE_CONNECT to a share that has a DFS referral at its
root. The reporter in this case was using a UNC that had no prefixpath,
so the is_path_accessible check was not triggered and the box later hit
a BUG() because we were chasing a DFS referral on the root dentry for
the mount.
This patch fixes this by removing the check for a zero-length
prefixpath. That should make the is_path_accessible check be done in
this situation and should allow the client to chase the DFS referral at
mount time instead.

So each individual page count fits comfortably in an 'unsigned int' (not
even close to overflowing into signed), but as they are added up, they
might end up resulting in a signed return value. Which would be wrong.

Handle the rare case where a directory metadata block is uncompressed and
corrupted, leading to a kernel oops in directory scanning (memcpy).
Normally corruption is detected at the decompression stage and dealt with
then, however, this will not happen if:
- metadata isn't compressed (users can optionally request no metadata
compression), or
- the compressed metadata block was larger than the original, in which
case the uncompressed version was used, or
- the data was corrupt after decompression
This patch fixes this by adding some sanity checks against known maximum
values.
The different families have a different max size for the ucode patch,
adjust size checking to the family we're running on. Also, do not
vzalloc the max size of the ucode but only the actual size that is
passed on from the firmware loader.
this may not be necessary at this point, but we should still clean up
the skb->skb_iif. If not we may end up with an invalid valid for
skb->skb_iif when the skb is reused and the check is done in

Was: [PATCH] sound/oss/midi_synth: prevent underflow, use of
uninitialized value, and signedness issue
The offset passed to midi_synth_load_patch() can be essentially
arbitrary. If it's greater than the header length, this will result in
a copy_from_user(dst, src, negative_val). While this will just return
-EFAULT on x86, on other architectures this may cause memory corruption.
Additionally, the length field of the sysex_info structure may not be
initialized prior to its use. Finally, a signed comparison may result
in an unintentionally large loop.
On suggestion by Takashi Iwai, version two removes the offset argument
from the load_patch callbacks entirely, which also resolves similar
issues in opl3. Compile tested only.
v3 adjusts comments and hopefully gets copy offsets right.

The normal mmap paths all avoid creating a mapping where the pgoff
inside the mapping could wrap around due to overflow. However, an
expanding mremap() can take such a non-wrapping mapping and make it
bigger and cause a wrapping condition.

vma dumping patch by Hugh then pinpointed the crazy wrapped case.
There's no reason to write quota info in dquot_commit(). The writing is a
relict from the old days when we didn't have dquot_acquire() and
dquot_release() and thus dquot_commit() could have created / removed quota
structures from the file. These days dquot_commit() only updates usage counters
/ limits in quota structure and thus there's no need to write quota info.
This also fixes an issue with journaling filesystem which didn't reserve
enough space in the transaction for write of quota info (it could have been
dirty at the time of dquot_commit() because of a race with other operation
changing it).

This patch fixes a debugging failure with which looks like this:
UBIFS error (pid 32313): dbg_check_space_info: free space changed from 6019344 to 6022654
The reason for this failure is described in the comment this patch adds
to the code. But in short - 'c->freeable_cnt' may be different before
and after re-mounting, and this is normal. So the debugging code should
make sure that free space calculations do not depend on 'c->freeable_cnt'.
A similar issue has been reported here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-April/034647.html
This patch should fix it.
For the -stable guys: this patch is only relevant for kernels 2.6.30
onwards.
Thanks to coverity which spotted that UBIFS will oops if 'kmalloc()'
in 'read_pnode()' fails and we dereference a NULL 'pnode' pointer
when we 'goto out'.
This fix makes the 'dbg_check_old_index()' function return
immediately if debugging is disabled, instead of executing
incorrect 'goto out' which causes UBIFS to:
1. Allocate memory
2. Read the flash
On every commit. OK, we do not commit that often, but it is
still silly to do unneeded I/O anyway.
Credits to coverity for spotting this silly issue.
On laptops with core i5/i7, there were reports that after resume
graphics workloads were performing poorly on a specific AP, while
the other cpu's were ok. This was observed on a 32bit kernel
specifically.
Debug showed that the PAT init was not happening on that AP
during resume and hence it contributing to the poor workload
performance on that cpu.
On this system, resume flow looked like this:
1. BP starts the resume sequence and we reinit BP's MTRR's/PAT
early on using mtrr_bp_restore()
2. Resume sequence brings all AP's online
3. Resume sequence now kicks off the MTRR reinit on all the AP's.
4. For some reason, between point 2 and 3, we moved from BP
to one of the AP's. My guess is that printk() during resume
sequence is contributing to this. We don't see similar
behavior with the 64bit kernel but there is no guarantee that
at this point the remaining resume sequence (after AP's bringup)
has to happen on BP.
5. set_mtrr() was assuming that we are still on BP and skipped the
MTRR/PAT init on that cpu (because of 1 above)
6. But we were on an AP and this led to not reprogramming PAT
on this cpu leading to bad performance.
Fix this by doing unconditional mtrr_if->set_all() in set_mtrr()
during MTRR/PAT init. This might be unnecessary if we are still
running on BP. But it is of no harm and will guarantee that after
resume, all the cpu's will be in sync with respect to the
MTRR/PAT registers.

root_item->flags and root_item->byte_limit are not initialized when
a subvolume is created. This bug is not revealed until we added
readonly snapshot support - now you mount a btrfs filesystem and you
may find the subvolumes in it are readonly.
To work around this problem, we steal a bit from root_item->inode_item->flags,
and use it to indicate if those fields have been properly initialized.
When we read a tree root from disk, we check if the bit is set, and if
not we'll set the flag and initialize the two fields of the root item.

Additionally, when parsing the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and

of less than 10, resulting in an underflow in a memcpy size, causing a
kernel panic due to massive heap corruption. A length of greater than

From the result of a function test of mmap, mmap write to shared pages
turned out to be broken for hole blocks. It doesn't write out filled
blocks and the data will be lost after umount. This is due to a bug
that the target file is not queued for log writer when filling hole
blocks.
Also, nilfs_page_mkwrite function exits normal code path even after
successfully filled hole blocks due to a change of block_page_mkwrite
function; just after nilfs was merged into the mainline,
block_page_mkwrite() started to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED instead of zero
by the patch "mm: close page_mkwrite races" (commit: b827e496c893de0c). The current nilfs_page_mkwrite() is not handling
this value properly.
This corrects nilfs_page_mkwrite() and will resolve the data loss
problem in mmap write.

For isochronous packets the actual_length is the sum of the actual
length of each of the packets, however between the packets might be
padding, so it is not sufficient to just send the first actual_length
bytes of the buffer. To fix this and simultanesouly optimize the
bandwidth the content of the isochronous packets are send without the
padding, the padding is restored on the receiving end.
The number_of_packets was not transmitted for RET_SUBMIT packets. The
linux client used the stored number_of_packet from the submitted
request. The windows userland client does not do this however and needs
to know the number_of_packets to determine the size of the transmission.

Commit aa45484 ("calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory
is low") noted that watermarks were based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES. To
avoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu
basis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a
threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and
real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a
case where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially
causing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better
reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low.
Unfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a
large amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line
bouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines
where counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu
thresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to
what should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy
memory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine
but the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting
all memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and
sleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua's test
case, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least.
To ensure that kswapd wakes up, a safe version of zone_watermark_ok() is
introduced that takes a more accurate reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when called
from wakeup_kswapd, when deciding whether it is really safe to go back to
sleep in sleeping_prematurely() and when deciding if a zone is really
balanced or not in balance_pgdat(). We are still using an expensive
function but limiting how often it is called.
When the test case is reproduced, the time spent in the watermark
functions is reduced. The following report is on the percentage of time
spent cumulatively spent in the functions zone_nr_free_pages(),
zone_watermark_ok(), __zone_watermark_ok(), zone_watermark_ok_safe(),
zone_page_state_snapshot(), zone_page_state().

Commit da48524eb206 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict.
There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a
negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE:
- This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants
to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel
causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo()
fails with EPERM.
- Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a()
wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define).
The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER.
As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to
forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.
We now use load_gs_index() to load gs safely; unfortunately this also
changes MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which we managed separately. This resulted
in confusion and breakage running 32-bit host userspace on a 64-bit kernel.
Fix by
- saving guest MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE before we we reload the host's gs
- doing the host save/load unconditionally, instead of only when in guest
long mode
Things can be cleaned up further, but this is the minmal fix for now.
kvm reloads the host's fs and gs blindly, however the underlying segment
descriptors may be invalid due to the user modifying the ldt after loading
them.
Fix by using the safe accessors (loadsegment() and load_gs_index()) instead
of home grown unsafe versions.
isr_ack is never initialized. So, until the first PIC reset, interrupts

Many users report very low speed problem on 3945 devices,
this patch fixes problem, but only for some of them.
For unknown reason, sometimes after hw scanning, device is not able
to receive frames at high rate. Since plcp health check may request
hw scan to "reset radio", performance problem start to be observable
after update kernel to .35, where plcp check was introduced.
Bug reporter confirmed that removing plcp check fixed problem for him.
When I wrote the first of these I had a wrong idea about the
lifetime of 'struct block_device'. It can disappear at any time that
the block device is not open if it falls out of the inode cache.
So relying on the 'size' recorded with it to detect when the
device size has changed and so we need to revalidate, is wrong.
Rather, we really do need the 'changed' attribute stored directly in
the mddev and set/tested as appropriate.
Without this patch, a sequence of:
mknod / open / close / unlink
(which can cause a block_device to be created and then destroyed)
will result in a rescan of the partition table and consequence removal
and addition of partitions.
Several of these in a row can get udev racing to create and unlink and
other code can get confused.
With the patch, the rescan is only performed when needed and so there
are no races.
This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.35.

net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.
We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.
In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

When destroying inherited events, we need to destroy groups too,
otherwise the event iteration in perf_event_exit_task_context() will
miss group siblings and we leak events with all the consequences.
When an endpoint stalls, the xHCI driver must move the endpoint ring's
dequeue pointer past the stalled transfer. To do that, the driver issues
a Set TR Dequeue Pointer command, which will complete some time later.
Takashi was having issues with USB 1.1 audio devices that stalled, and his
analysis of the code was that the old code would not update the xHCI
driver's ring dequeue pointer after the command completes. However, the
dequeue pointer is set in xhci_find_new_dequeue_state(), just before the
set command is issued to the hardware.
Setting the dequeue pointer before the Set TR Dequeue Pointer command
completes is a dangerous thing to do, since the xHCI hardware can fail the
command. Instead, store the new dequeue pointer in the xhci_virt_ep
structure, and update the ring's dequeue pointer when the Set TR dequeue
pointer command completes.
While we're at it, make sure we can't queue another Set TR Dequeue Command
while the first one is still being processed. This just won't work with
the internal xHCI state code. I'm still not sure if this is the right
thing to do, since we might have a case where a driver queues multiple
URBs to a control ring, one of the URBs Stalls, and then the driver tries
to cancel the second URB. There may be a race condition there where the
xHCI driver might try to issue multiple Set TR Dequeue Pointer commands,
but I would have to think very hard about how the Stop Endpoint and
cancellation code works. Keep the fix simple until when/if we run into
that case.
This patch should be queued to kernels all the way back to 2.6.31.
The document says:
|2.1 Problem description
| When at least two USB devices are simultaneously running, it is observed that
| sometimes the INT corresponding to one of the USB devices stops occurring. This may
| be observed sometimes with USB-to-serial or USB-to-network devices.
| The problem is not noticed when only USB mass storage devices are running.
|2.2 Implication
| This issue is because of the clearing of the respective Done Map bit on reading the ATL
| PTD Done Map register when an INT is generated by another PTD completion, but is not
| found set on that read access. In this situation, the respective Done Map bit will remain
| reset and no further INT will be asserted so the data transfer corresponding to that USB
| device will stop.
|2.3 Workaround
| An SOF INT can be used instead of an ATL INT with polling on Done bits. A time-out can
| be implemented and if a certain Done bit is never set, verification of the PTD completion
| can be done by reading PTD contents (valid bit).
| This is a proven workaround implemented in software.
Russell King run into this with an USB-to-serial converter. This patch
implements his suggestion to enable the high frequent SOF interrupt only
at the time we have ATL packages queued. It goes even one step further
and enables the SOF interrupt only if we have more than one ATL packet
queued at the same time.

Subject: [PATCH] USB: misc: uss720.c: add another vendor/product ID
stored a ref to the current cred struct in struct scm_cookie. This was fine
with AF_UNIX as that calls scm_destroy() from its packet sending functions, but
AF_NETLINK, which also uses scm_send(), does not call scm_destroy() - meaning
that the copied credentials leak each time SCM data is sent over a netlink
socket.
This can be triggered quite simply on a Fedora 13 or 14 userspace with the
2.6.35.11 kernel (or something based off of that) by calling:
#!/bin/bash
for ((i=0; i<100; i++))
do
su - -c /bin/true
cut -d: -f1 /proc/slabinfo | grep 'cred\|key\|task_struct'
cat /proc/keys | wc -l
done
This leaks the session key that pam_keyinit creates for 'su -', which appears
in /proc/keys as being revoked (has the R flag set against it) afterward su is
called.
Furthermore, if CONFIG_SLAB=y, then the cred and key slab object usage counts
can be viewed and seen to increase. The key slab increases by one object per
loop, and this can be seen after the system has had a couple of minutes to
stand after the script above has been run on it.
If the system is working correctly, the key and cred counts should return to
roughly what they were before.
af_netlink: Add needed scm_destroy after scm_send.
scm_send occasionally allocates state in the scm_cookie, so I have
modified netlink_sendmsg to guarantee that when scm_send succeeds
scm_destory will be called to free that state.

During device discovery, scsi mid layer sends INQUIRY command to LUN

scsi_device with LUN id 0 and sends REPORT_LUNS command to it. After
the REPORT_LUNS succeeds, it walks through the LUN table and adds each
LUN found to sysfs. At the end of REPORT_LUNS lun table scan, it will
delete the temporary scsi_device of LUN 0.
When scsi devices are added to sysfs, it calls add_dev function of all

ses_intf_add() of ses module will be called. This function calls
scsi_device_enclosure() to check the inquiry data for EncServ
bit. Since inquiry was not allocated for temporary LUN 0 scsi_device,
it will cause NULL pointer exception.
To fix the problem, sdev->inquiry is checked for NULL before reading it.
enclosure page 7 gives us the "pretty" names of the enclosure slots.
Without a page 7, we can still use the enclosure code as long as we
make up numeric names for the slots. Unfortunately, the current code
fails to add any devices because the check for page 10 is in the wrong
place if we have no page 7. Fix it so that devices show up even if
the enclosure has no page 7.
This field is used to determine the inactivity time. When in AP mode,
hostapd uses it for kicking out inactive clients after a while. Without this
patch, hostapd immediately deauthenticates a new client if it checks the
inactivity time before the client sends its first data frame.

User-controllable indexes for voice and channel values may cause reading
and writing beyond the bounds of their respective arrays, leading to
potentially exploitable memory corruption. Validate these indexes.
Under certain workloads a command may seem to get lost. IOW, the Smart Array
thinks all commands have been completed but we still have commands in our
completion queue. This may lead to system instability, filesystems going
read-only, or even panics depending on the affected filesystem. We add an
extra read to force the write to complete.
Testing shows this extra read avoids the problem.

Rmmod myri10ge crash at free_netdev() -> netif_napi_del(), because napi
structures are already deallocated. To fix call netif_napi_del() before
kfree() at myri10ge_free_slices().

The maximum kilobytes of locked memory that an unprivileged user
can reserve is of 512 kB = 128 pages by default, scaled to the
number of onlined CPUs, which fits well with the tools that use
128 data pages by default.
However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more
for the user control page. Thus the default mlock threshold is
not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up
to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have
this scaling with the number of online CPUs.
Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the
rlimit threshold and fail to mmap:
$ perf record ls
Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)
Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page
so that it supports well perf tools even after 16 CPUs.
