commit 59c6ccd9 upstream. This patch for FTDI USB serial driver ads new VID/PIDs used on various devices manufactured by Papouch (http://www.papouch.com). These devices have their own VID/PID, although they're using standard FTDI chip. In ftdi_sio.c, I also made small cleanup to have declarations for all Papouch devices together. Signed-off-by:

commit 0d91f22b upstream. In this code, 0 is returned on memory allocation failure, even though other failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression ret; expression x,e1,e2,e3; @@ ret = 0 ... when != ret = e1 *x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...) ... when != ret = e2 if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3 return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by:

commit 11791a6f upstream. The ISL3887 chip needs a USB reset, whenever the usb-frontend module "p54usb" is reloaded. This patch fixes an off-by-one bug, if the user is running a kernel without the CONFIG_PM option set and for some reason (e.g.: compat-wireless) wants to switch between different p54usb modules.

commit 9581d442 upstream 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. This is CVE-2010-3698. Signed-off-by:

commit 47008cd8 upstream. The VMCB is reset whenever we receive a startup IPI, so Linux is setting TSC back to zero happens very late in the boot process and destabilizing the TSC. Instead, just set TSC to zero once at VCPU creation time. Why the separate patch? So git-bisect is your friend. Signed-off-by:

commit 953899b6 upstream. The tsc_offset adjustment in svm_vcpu_load is executed unconditionally even if Linux considers the host tsc as stable. This causes a Linux guest detecting an unstable tsc in any case. This patch removes the tsc_offset adjustment if the host tsc is stable. The guest will now get the benefit of a stable tsc too.

commit 5fd5387c upstream. In no-direct mapping, we mark sp is 'direct' when we mapping the guest's larger page, but its access is encoded form upper page-struct entire not include the last mapping, it will cause access conflict. For example, have this mapping: [W] / PDE1 -> |---| P[W] | | LPA \ PDE2 -> |---| [R] P have two children, PDE1 and PDE2, both PDE1 and PDE2 mapping the same lage page(LPA). The P's access is WR, PDE1's access is WR, PDE2's access is RO(just consider read-write permissions here) When guest access PDE1, we will create a direct sp for LPA, the sp's access is from P, is W, then we will mark the ptes is W in this sp. Then, guest access PDE2, we will find LPA's shadow page, is the same as PDE's, and mark the ptes is RO. So, if guest access PDE1, the incorrect #PF is occured. Fixed by encode the last mapping access into direct shadow page Signed-off-by:

commit 9e7b0e7f upstream. If the mapping is writable but the dirty flag is not set, we will find the read-only direct sp and setup the mapping, then if the write #PF occur, we will mark this mapping writable in the read-only direct sp, now, other real read-only mapping will happily write it without #PF. It may hurt guest's COW Fixed by re-install the mapping when write #PF occur. Signed-off-by:

commit 061e2fd1 upstream. This patch makes KVM on 32 bit SVM working again by correcting the masks used for iret interception. With the wrong masks the upper 32 bits of the intercepts are masked out which leaves vmrun unintercepted. This is not legal on svm and the vmrun fails.

commit 37a2f9f3 upstream. 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.

commit 75e3cfbe upstream. 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) Signed-off-by:

commit 3fdbf004 upstream. Instead of adapting the CPU family check in amd_special_default_mtrr() for each new CPU family assume that all new AMD CPUs support the necessary bits in SYS_CFG MSR. Tom2Enabled is architectural (defined in APM Vol.2). Tom2ForceMemTypeWB is defined in all BKDGs starting with K8 NPT. In pre K8-NPT BKDG this bit is reserved (read as zero). W/o this adaption Linux would unnecessarily complain about bad MTRR settings on every new AMD CPU family, e.g. [ 0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 4863MB of RAM.

commit 76fac077 upstream. x86 smp_ops now has a new op, stop_other_cpus which takes a parameter "wait" this allows the caller to specify if it wants to stop until all the cpus have processed the stop IPI. This is required specifically for the kexec case where we should wait for all the cpus to be stopped before starting the new kernel. We now wait for the cpus to stop in all cases except for panic/kdump where we expect things to be broken and we are doing our best to make things work anyway. This patch fixes a legitimate regression, which was introduced during 2.6.30, by commit id 4ef702c1. Signed-off-by:

commit 7ef8aa72 upstream. The AMD SSE5 feature set as-it has been replaced by some extensions to the AVX instruction set. Thus the bit formerly advertised as SSE5 is re-used for one of these extensions (XOP). Although this changes the /proc/cpuinfo output, it is not user visible, as there are no CPUs (yet) having this feature. To avoid confusion this should be added to the stable series, too.

commit 3ee48b6a upstream. 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. Signed-off-by:

commit 7ada876a upstream. 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. Signed-off-by:

commit 9f5f9ffe upstream. The logic to distinguish marked instruction events from ordinary events on PPC970 and derivatives was flawed. The result is that instruction sampling didn't get enabled in the PMU for some marked instruction events, so they would never trigger. This fixes it by adding the appropriate break statements in the switch statement. Reported-by:

commit 584c5b7c upstream. The way the event handler works can cause it to delay events until eventual wakeup for another event. For example, on device detach (vhci): - Write to sysfs detach file -> usbip_event_add(VDEV_EVENT_DOWN) -> wakeup() #define VDEV_EVENT_DOWN (USBIP_EH_SHUTDOWN | USBIP_EH_RESET). - Event thread wakes up and passes the event to event_handler() to process. - It processes and clears the USBIP_EH_SHUTDOWN flag then returns. - The outer event loop (event_handler_loop()) calls wait_event_interruptible(). The processing of the second flag which is part of VDEV_EVENT_DOWN (USBIP_EH_RESET) did not happen yet. It is delayed until the next event. This means the ->reset callback may not happen for a long time (if ever), leaving the usbip port in a weird state which prevents its reuse. This patch changes the handler to process all flags before waiting for another wakeup. I have verified this change to fix a problem which prevented reattach of a usbip device. It also helps for socket errors which missed the RESET as well. The delayed event processing also affects the stub side of usbip and the error handling there. Signed-off-by:

[Solved differently upstream] Network namespace in the Phonet socket stack causes an OOPS when a namespace is destroyed. This occurs as the loopback exit_net handler is called after the Phonet exit_net handler, and re-enters the Phonet stack. I cannot think of any nice way to fix this in kernel <= 2.6.32. For lack of a better solution, disable namespace support completely. If you need that, upgrade to a newer kernel. Signed-off-by:

commit 9aea5a65 upstream. An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL. Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

commit 7993bc1f upstream. This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new points in the abstract sense. When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice. So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments. Signed-off-by:

commit 1b528181 upstream. The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack. When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON. This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to create a crash pretty easily. Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a kernel problem. Signed-off-by:
