commit 8a8c35fa upstream. Beginning at commit d52d3997 ("ipv6: Create percpu rt6_info"), the following INFO splat is logged: =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.1.0-rc7-next-20150612 #1 Not tainted ------------------------------- kernel/sched/core.c:7318 Illegal context switch in RCU-bh read-side critical section! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 3 locks held by systemd/1: #0: (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff815f0c8f>] rtnetlink_rcv+0x1f/0x40 #1: (rcu_read_lock_bh){......}, at: [<ffffffff816a34e2>] ipv6_add_addr+0x62/0x540 #2: (addrconf_hash_lock){+...+.}, at: [<ffffffff816a3604>] ipv6_add_addr+0x184/0x540 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 4.1.0-rc7-next-20150612 #1 Hardware name: TOSHIBA TECRA A50-A/TECRA A50-A, BIOS Version 4.20 04/17/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x4c/0x6e lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xe7/0x120 ___might_sleep+0x1d5/0x1f0 __might_sleep+0x4d/0x90 kmem_cache_alloc+0x47/0x250 create_object+0x39/0x2e0 kmemleak_alloc_percpu+0x61/0xe0 pcpu_alloc+0x370/0x630 Additional backtrace lines are truncated. In addition, the above splat is followed by several "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1268" outputs. As suggested by Martin KaFai Lau, these are the clue to the fix. Routine kmemleak_alloc_percpu() always uses GFP_KERNEL for its allocations, whereas it should follow the gfp from its callers.

commit c5f3b1a5 upstream. The kmemleak scanning thread can run for minutes. Callbacks like kmemleak_free() are allowed during this time, the race being taken care of by the object->lock spinlock. Such lock also prevents a memory block from being freed or unmapped while it is being scanned by blocking the kmemleak_free() -> ... -> __delete_object() function until the lock is released in scan_object(). When a kmemleak error occurs (e.g. it fails to allocate its metadata), kmemleak_enabled is set and __delete_object() is no longer called on freed objects. If kmemleak_scan is running at the same time, kmemleak_free() no longer waits for the object scanning to complete, allowing the corresponding memory block to be freed or unmapped (in the case of vfree()). This leads to kmemleak_scan potentially triggering a page fault. This patch separates the kmemleak_free() enabling/disabling from the overall kmemleak_enabled nob so that we can defer the disabling of the object freeing tracking until the scanning thread completed. The kmemleak_free_part() is deliberately ignored by this patch since this is only called during boot before the scanning thread started.

commit 6f1a6ae8 upstream. When building the kernel with a bare-metal (ELF) toolchain, the -shared option may not be passed down to collect2, resulting in silent corruption of the vDSO image (in particular, the DYNAMIC section is omitted). The effect of this corruption is that the dynamic linker fails to find the vDSO symbols and libc is instead used for the syscalls that we intended to optimise (e.g. gettimeofday). Functionally, there is no issue as the sigreturn trampoline is still intact and located by the kernel. This patch fixes the problem by explicitly passing -shared to the linker when building the vDSO.

commit b9bcc919 upstream. The memmap freeing code in free_unused_memmap() computes the end of each memblock by adding the memblock size onto the base. However, if SPARSEMEM is enabled then the value (start) used for the base may already have been rounded downwards to work out which memmap entries to free after the previous memblock. This may cause memmap entries that are in use to get freed. In general, you're not likely to hit this problem unless there are at least 2 memblocks and one of them is not aligned to a sparsemem section boundary. Note that carve-outs can increase the number of memblocks by splitting the regions listed in the device tree. This problem doesn't occur with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, because the vmemmap code deals with freeing the unused regions of the memmap instead of requiring the arch code to do it. This patch gets the memblock base out of the memblock directly when computing the block end address to ensure the correct value is used.

commit 46b0567c upstream. Commit 6c81fe79 ("arm64: enable context tracking") did not update el0_sp_pc to use ct_user_exit, but this appears to have been unintentional. In commit 6ab6463a ("arm64: adjust el0_sync so that a function can be called") we made x0 available, and in the return to userspace we call ct_user_enter in the kernel_exit macro. Due to this, we currently don't correctly inform RCU of the user->kernel transition, and may erroneously account for time spent in the kernel as if we were in an extended quiescent state when CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING is enabled. As we do record the kernel->user transition, a userspace application making accesses from an unaligned stack pointer can demonstrate the imbalance, provoking the following warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3660 at kernel/context_tracking.c:75 context_tracking_enter+0xd8/0xe4() Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 3660 Comm: a.out Not tainted 4.1.0-rc7+ #8 Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r0) (DT) Call trace: [<ffffffc000089914>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x124 [<ffffffc000089a48>] show_stack+0x10/0x1c [<ffffffc0005b3cbc>] dump_stack+0x84/0xc8 [<ffffffc0000b3214>] warn_slowpath_common+0x98/0xd0 [<ffffffc0000b330c>] warn_slowpath_null+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffc00013ada4>] context_tracking_enter+0xd4/0xe4 [<ffffffc0005b534c>] preempt_schedule_irq+0xd4/0x114 [<ffffffc00008561c>] el1_preempt+0x4/0x28 [<ffffffc0001b8040>] exit_files+0x38/0x4c [<ffffffc0000b5b94>] do_exit+0x430/0x978 [<ffffffc0000b614c>] do_group_exit+0x40/0xd4 [<ffffffc0000c0208>] get_signal+0x23c/0x4f4 [<ffffffc0000890b4>] do_signal+0x1ac/0x518 [<ffffffc000089650>] do_notify_resume+0x5c/0x68 ---[ end trace 963c192600337066 ]--- This patch adds the missing ct_user_exit to the el0_sp_pc entry path, correcting the context tracking for this case.

commit 565630d5 upstream. After secondary CPU boot or hotplug, the active_mm of the idle thread is &init_mm. The init_mm.pgd (swapper_pg_dir) is only meant for TTBR1_EL1 and must not be set in TTBR0_EL1. Since when active_mm == &init_mm the TTBR0_EL1 is already set to the reserved value, there is no need to perform any context reset.

commit 3dc196ea upstream. Fix the hbm power gating state machine so it will wait till it receives confirmation interrupt for the PG_ISOLATION_EXIT message. In process of the suspend flow the devices first have to exit from the power gating state (runtime pm resume). If we do not handle the confirmation interrupt after sending PG_ISOLATION_EXIT message, we may receive it already after the suspend flow has changed the device state and interrupt will be interpreted as a spurious event, consequently link reset will be invoked which will prevent the device from completing the suspend flow kernel: [6603] mei_reset:136: mei_me 0000:00:16.0: powering down: end of reset kernel: [476] mei_me_irq_thread_handler:643: mei_me 0000:00:16.0: function called after ISR to handle the interrupt processing. kernel: mei_me 0000:00:16.0: FW not ready: resetting Cc: Gabriele Mazzotta <gabriele.mzt@gmail.com> Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86241 Link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770397Tested-by: Gabriele Mazzotta <gabriele.mzt@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit b064a8fa upstream. Commit 73f7d1ca "ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init()" moved the ACPI subsystem initialization, including the ACPI mode enabling, to an earlier point in the initialization sequence, to allow the timekeeping subsystem use ACPI early. Unfortunately, that resulted in boot regressions on some systems and the early ACPI initialization was moved toward its original position in the kernel initialization code by commit c4e1acbb "ACPI / init: Invoke early ACPI initialization later". However, that turns out to be insufficient, as boot is still broken on the Tyan S8812 mainboard. To fix that issue, split the ACPI early initialization code into two pieces so the majority of it still located in acpi_early_init() and the part switching over the platform into the ACPI mode goes into a new function, acpi_subsystem_init(), executed at the original early ACPI initialization spot. That fixes the Tyan S8812 boot problem, but still allows ACPI tables to be loaded earlier which is useful to the EFI code in efi_enter_virtual_mode().

commit 4df3fd17 upstream. Fujitsu Lifebook E780 sets the sequence number 0x0f to only only of the two headphones, thus the driver tries to assign another as the line-out, and this results in the inconsistent mapping between the created jack ctl and the actual I/O. Due to this, PulseAudio doesn't handle it properly and gets the silent output. The fix is to ignore the non-HP sequencer checks.

commit 6e91f8cb upstream. If, at the time __rcu_process_callbacks() is invoked, there are callbacks in Tiny RCU's callback list, but none of them are ready to be invoked, the current list-management code will knit the non-ready callbacks out of the list. This can result in hangs and possibly worse. This commit therefore inserts a check for there being no callbacks that can be invoked immediately. This bug is unlikely to occur -- you have to get a new callback between the time rcu_sched_qs() or rcu_bh_qs() was called, but before we get to __rcu_process_callbacks(). It was detected by the addition of RCU-bh testing to rcutorture, which in turn was instigated by Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation testing. Although this bug was made much more likely by 915e8a4f (rcu: Remove fastpath from __rcu_process_callbacks()), this did not cause the bug, but rather made it much more probable. That said, it takes more than 40 hours of rcutorture testing, on average, for this bug to appear, so this fix cannot be considered an emergency. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

commit 1b852bce upstream. Fresh mounts of proc and sysfs are a very special case that works very much like a bind mount. Unfortunately the current structure can not preserve the MNT_LOCK... mount flags. Therefore refactor the logic into a form that can be modified to preserve those lock bits. Add a new filesystem flag FS_USERNS_VISIBLE that requires some mount of the filesystem be fully visible in the current mount namespace, before the filesystem may be mounted. Move the logic for calling fs_fully_visible from proc and sysfs into fs/namespace.c where it has greater access to mount namespace state. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

commit 7236c85e upstream. fs_fully_visible attempts to make fresh mounts of proc and sysfs give the mounter no more access to proc and sysfs than if they could have by creating a bind mount. One aspect of proc and sysfs that makes this particularly tricky is that there are other filesystems that typically mount on top of proc and sysfs. As those filesystems are mounted on empty directories in practice it is safe to ignore them. However testing to ensure filesystems are mounted on empty directories has not been something the in kernel data structures have supported so the current test for an empty directory which checks to see if nlink <= 2 is a bit lacking. proc and sysfs have recently been modified to use the new empty_dir infrastructure to create all of their dedicated mount points. Instead of testing for S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode) && i_nlink <= 2 to see if a directory is empty, test for is_empty_dir_inode(inode). That small change guaranteess mounts found on proc and sysfs really are safe to ignore, because the directories are not only empty but nothing can ever be added to them. This guarantees there is nothing to worry about when mounting proc and sysfs. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit fbabfd0f upstream. To ensure it is safe to mount proc and sysfs I need to check if filesystems that are mounted on top of them are mounted on truly empty directories. Given that some directories can gain entries over time, knowing that a directory is empty right now is insufficient. Therefore add supporting infrastructure for permantently empty directories that proc and sysfs can use when they create mount points for filesystems and fs_fully_visible can use to test for permanently empty directories to ensure that nothing will be gained by mounting a fresh copy of proc or sysfs.

commit 514d748f upstream. Commit e4502c63 (ufs: deal with nfsd/iget races) made ufs create inodes with I_NEW flag set. However ufs_mkdir() never cleared this flag. Thus if someone ever tried to lookup the directory by inode number, he would deadlock waiting for I_NEW to be cleared. Luckily this mostly happens only if the filesystem is exported over NFS since otherwise we have the inode attached to dentry and don't look it up by inode number. In rare cases dentry can get freed without inode being freed and then we'd hit the deadlock even without NFS export. Fix the problem by clearing I_NEW before instantiating new directory inode.

commit 12ecbb4b upstream. Commit e4502c63 (ufs: deal with nfsd/iget races) introduced unlock_new_inode() call into ufs_add_nondir(). However that function gets called also from ufs_link() which hands it already initialized inode and thus unlock_new_inode() complains. The problem is harmless but annoying. Fix the problem by opencoding necessary stuff in ufs_link() Fixes: e4502c63Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit ceeb0e5d upstream. Limit the mounts fs_fully_visible considers to locked mounts. Unlocked can always be unmounted so considering them adds hassle but no security benefit. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 93e3bce6 upstream. The warning message in prepend_path is unclear and outdated. It was added as a warning that the mechanism for generating names of pseudo files had been removed from prepend_path and d_dname should be used instead. Unfortunately the warning reads like a general warning, making it unclear what to do with it. Remove the warning. The transition it was added to warn about is long over, and I added code several years ago which in rare cases causes the warning to fire on legitimate code, and the warning is now firing and scaring people for no good reason.

commit 13b987ea upstream. This reverts commit 9ef7db7f ("ufs: fix deadlocks introduced by sb mutex merge") That patch tried to solve commit 0244756e ("ufs: sb mutex merge + mutex_destroy") which is itself partially reverted due to multiple deadlocks.
