commit 3445857b upstream. When the audio encoding is changed the driver calls hdpvr_set_audio with the current opt->audio_input value. However, that should have been opt->audio_input + 1. So changing the audio encoding inadvertently changes the input as well. This bug has always been there. The second bug was introduced in kernel 3.10 and that broke the default_audio_input module option handling: the audio encoding was never switched to AC3 if default_audio_input was set to 2 (SPDIF input). In addition, since starting with 3.10 the audio encoding is always set at the start the first bug now always happens when the driver is loaded. In the past this bug would only surface if the user would change the audio encoding after the driver was loaded. Also fixes a small trivial typo (bufffer -> buffer). Signed-off-by:

commit 4856fbd1 upstream. The OMAP4 camera support depends on I2C and VIDEO_V4L2, both of which can be loadable modules. This causes build failures if we want the camera driver to be built-in. This can be solved by turning the option into "tristate", which unfortunately causes another problem, because the driver incorrectly calls a platform-internal interface for omap4_ctrl_pad_readl/omap4_ctrl_pad_writel. Instead, this patch just forbids the invalid configurations and ensures that the driver can only be built if all its dependencies are built-in. Signed-off-by:

commit b738d764 upstream. shrink_inactive_list() used to wait 0.1s to avoid congestion when all the pages that were isolated from the inactive list were dirty but not under active writeback. That makes no real sense, and apparently causes major interactivity issues under some loads since 3.11. The ostensible reason for it was to wait for kswapd to start writing pages, but that seems questionable as well, since the congestion wait code seems to trigger for kswapd itself as well. Also, the logic behind delaying anything when we haven't actually started writeback is not clear - it only delays actually starting that writeback. We'll still trigger the congestion waiting if (a) the process is kswapd, and we hit pages flagged for immediate reclaim (b) the process is not kswapd, and the zone backing dev writeback is actually congested. This probably needs to be revisited, but as it is this fixes a reported regression. Reported-by:

commit 263782c1 upstream. As of commit f8567a38 it is now possible to have put_reqs_available() called from irq context. While put_reqs_available() is per cpu, it did not protect itself from interrupts on the same CPU. This lead to aio_complete() corrupting the available io requests count when run under a heavy O_DIRECT workloads as reported by Robert Elliott. Fix this by disabling irq updates around the per cpu batch updates of reqs_available. Many thanks to Robert and folks for testing and tracking this down. Reported-by:

commit b0ab99e7 upstream. proc_sched_show_task() does: if (nr_switches) do_div(avg_atom, nr_switches); nr_switches is unsigned long and do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test non-zero on e.g. x86-64 and be truncated to zero for division. Fix the problem by using div64_ul() instead. As a side effect calculations of avg_atom for big nr_switches are now correct. Signed-off-by:

commit 4320f6b1 upstream. The commit [247bc037: PM / Sleep: Mitigate race between the freezer and request_firmware()] introduced the finer state control, but it also leads to a new bug; for example, a bug report regarding the firmware loading of intel BT device at suspend/resume: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873790 The root cause seems to be a small window between the process resume and the clear of usermodehelper lock. The request_firmware() function checks the UMH lock and gives up when it's in UMH_DISABLE state. This is for avoiding the invalid f/w loading during suspend/resume phase. The problem is, however, that usermodehelper_enable() is called at the end of thaw_processes(). Thus, a thawed process in between can kick off the f/w loader code path (in this case, via btusb_setup_intel()) even before the call of usermodehelper_enable(). Then usermodehelper_read_trylock() returns an error and request_firmware() spews WARN_ON() in the end. This oneliner patch fixes the issue just by setting to UMH_FREEZING state again before restarting tasks, so that the call of request_firmware() will be blocked until the end of this function instead of returning an error.

commit 3896c329 upstream. Mauro reported that his AMD X2 using the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver locked up when doing cpu hotplug. Because we called set_cyc2ns_scale() from the time_cpufreq_notifier() unconditionally, it gets called multiple times for each freq change, instead of only the once, when the tsc_khz value actually changes. Because it gets called more than once, we run out of cyc2ns data slots and stall, waiting for a free one, but because we're half way offline, there's no consumers to free slots. By placing the call inside the condition that actually changes tsc_khz we avoid superfluous calls and avoid the problem. Reported-by:

commit 29e697b1 upstream. Certain GIC implementation, namely those found on earlier, single cluster, Exynos SoCs, have registers mapped without per-CPU banking, which means that the driver needs to use different offset for each CPU. Currently the driver calculates the offset by multiplying value returned by cpu_logical_map() by CPU offset parsed from DT. This is correct when CPU topology is not specified in DT and aforementioned function returns core ID alone. However when DT contains CPU topology, the function changes to return cluster ID as well, which is non-zero on mentioned SoCs and so breaks the calculation in GIC driver. This patch fixes this by masking out cluster ID in CPU offset calculation so that only core ID is considered. Multi-cluster Exynos SoCs already have banked GIC implementations, so this simple fix should be enough. Reported-by:

commit 97b8ee84 upstream. ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue even there is immediate data available. Otherwise, the following epoll and read sequence will eventually hang forever: 1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first 2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee) 3. epoll_wait() 4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN 5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer 6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever ~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2, ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table, which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its wait_queue. ~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6, ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works. ~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue. Hence, block forever. Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very first thing to do. For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

commit d76744a9 upstream. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70191 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77581 It is observed that sometimes Tx packet is downloaded without adding driver's txpd header. This results in firmware parsing garbage data as packet length. Sometimes firmware is unable to read the packet if length comes out as invalid. This stops further traffic and timeout occurs. The root cause is uninitialized fields in tx_info(skb->cb) of packet used to get garbage values. In this case if MWIFIEX_BUF_FLAG_REQUEUED_PKT flag is mistakenly set, txpd header was skipped. This patch makes sure that tx_info is correctly initialized to fix the problem. Reported-by:

commit b292d7a1 upstream. Currently, any NMI is falsely handled by a NMI handler of NMI watchdog if CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR is set. For example, we use external NMI to make system panic to get crash dump, but in this case, the external NMI is falsely handled do to the issue. This commit deals with the issue simply by ignoring CondChgd bit. Here is explanation in detail. On x86 NMI watchdog uses performance monitoring feature to periodically signal NMI each time performance counter gets overflowed. intel_pmu_handle_irq() is called as a NMI_LOCAL handler from a NMI handler of NMI watchdog, perf_event_nmi_handler(). It identifies an owner of a given NMI by looking at overflow status bits in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR. If some of the bits are set, then it handles the given NMI as its own NMI. The problem is that the intel_pmu_handle_irq() doesn't distinguish CondChgd bit from other bits. Unlike the other status bits, CondChgd bit doesn't represent overflow status for performance counters. Thus, CondChgd bit cannot be thought of as a mark indicating a given NMI is NMI watchdog's. As a result, if CondChgd bit is set, any NMI is falsely handled by the NMI handler of NMI watchdog. Also, if type of the falsely handled NMI is either NMI_UNKNOWN, NMI_SERR or NMI_IO_CHECK, the corresponding action is never performed until CondChgd bit is cleared. I noticed this behavior on systems with Ivy Bridge processors: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630 v2 and Intel Xeon CPU E7-8890 v2. On both systems, CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR has already been set in the beginning at boot. Then the CondChgd bit is immediately cleared by next wrmsr to MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR and appears to remain 0. On the other hand, on older processors such as Nehalem, Xeon E7540, CondChgd bit is not set in the beginning at boot. I'm not sure about exact behavior of CondChgd bit, in particular when this bit is set. Although I read Intel System Programmer's Manual to figure out that, the descriptions I found are: In 18.9.1: "The MSR_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR also provides a ¡sticky bit¢ to indicate changes to the state of performancmonitoring hardware" In Table 35-2 IA-32 Architectural MSRs 63 CondChg: status bits of this register has changed. These are different from the bahviour I see on the actual system as I explained above. At least, I think ignoring CondChgd bit should be enough for NMI watchdog perspective. Signed-off-by:

commit 1f9a7268 upstream. The context check in perf_event_context_sched_out allows non-cloned context to be part of the optimized schedule out switch. This could move non-cloned context into another workload child. Once this child exits, the context is closed and leaves all original (parent) events in closed state. Any other new cloned event will have closed state and not measure anything. And probably causing other odd bugs. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit a8a3e41c ] The PPP channel MTU is used with Multilink PPP when ppp_mp_explode() (see ppp_generic module) tries to determine how big a fragment might be. According to RFC 1661, the MTU excludes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, see the corresponding comment and code in ppp_mp_explode(): /* * hdrlen includes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, but the * MTU counts only the payload excluding the protocol field. * (RFC1661 Section 2) */ mtu = pch->chan->mtu - (hdrlen - 2); However, the pppoe module *does* include the PPP protocol field in the channel MTU, which is wrong as it causes the PPP payload to be 1-2 bytes too big under certain circumstances (one byte if PPP protocol compression is used, two otherwise), causing the generated Ethernet packets to be dropped. So the pppoe module has to subtract two bytes from the channel MTU. This error only manifests itself when using Multilink PPP, as otherwise the channel MTU is not used anywhere. In the following, I will describe how to reproduce this bug. We configure two pppd instances for multilink PPP over two PPPoE links, say eth2 and eth3, with a MTU of 1492 bytes for each link and a MRRU of 2976 bytes. (This MRRU is computed by adding the two link MTUs and subtracting the MP header twice, which is 4 bytes long.) The necessary pppd statements on both sides are "multilink mtu 1492 mru 1492 mrru 2976". On the client side, we additionally need "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth2" and "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth3", respectively; on the server side, we additionally need to start two pppoe-server instances to be able to establish two PPPoE sessions, one over eth2 and one over eth3. We set the MTU of the PPP network interface to the MRRU (2976) on both sides of the connection in order to make use of the higher bandwidth. (If we didn't do that, IP fragmentation would kick in, which we want to avoid.) Now we send a ICMPv4 echo request with a payload of 2948 bytes from client to server over the PPP link. This results in the following network packet: 2948 (echo payload) + 8 (ICMPv4 header) + 20 (IPv4 header) --------------------- 2976 (PPP payload) These 2976 bytes do not exceed the MTU of the PPP network interface, so the IP packet is not fragmented. Now the multilink PPP code in ppp_mp_explode() prepends one protocol byte (0x21 for IPv4), making the packet one byte bigger than the negotiated MRRU. So this packet would have to be divided in three fragments. But this does not happen as each link MTU is assumed to be two bytes larger. So this packet is diveded into two fragments only, one of size 1489 and one of size 1488. Now we have for that bigger fragment: 1489 (PPP payload) + 4 (MP header) + 2 (PPP protocol field for the MP payload (0x3d)) + 6 (PPPoE header) -------------------------- 1501 (Ethernet payload) This packet exceeds the link MTU and is discarded. If one configures the link MTU on the client side to 1501, one can see the discarded Ethernet frames with tcpdump running on the client. A ping -s 2948 -c 1 192.168.15.254 leads to the smaller fragment that is correctly received on the server side: (tcpdump -vvvne -i eth3 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d) 52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1514: PPPoE [ses 0x3] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000, Flags [end], length 1492 and to the bigger fragment that is not received on the server side: (tcpdump -vvvne -i eth2 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d) 52:54:00:70:9e:89 > 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1515: PPPoE [ses 0x5] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1495: seq 0x000, Flags [begin], length 1493 With the patch below, we correctly obtain three fragments: 52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1514: PPPoE [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000, Flags [begin], length 1492 52:54:00:70:9e:89 > 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1514: PPPoE [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000, Flags [none], length 1492 52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 27: PPPoE [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 7: seq 0x000, Flags [end], length 5 And the ICMPv4 echo request is successfully received at the server side: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 21925, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 2976) 192.168.222.2 > 192.168.15.254: ICMP echo request, id 30530, seq 0, length 2956 The bug was introduced in commit c9aa6895 ("[PPPOE]: Advertise PPPoE MTU") from the very beginning.

[ Upstream commit 8f2e5ae4 ] While working on some other SCTP code, I noticed that some structures shared with user space are leaking uninitialized stack or heap buffer. In particular, struct sctp_sndrcvinfo has a 2 bytes hole between .sinfo_flags and .sinfo_ppid that remains unfilled by us in sctp_ulpevent_read_sndrcvinfo() when putting this into cmsg. But also struct sctp_remote_error contains a 2 bytes hole that we don't fill but place into a skb through skb_copy_expand() via sctp_ulpevent_make_remote_error(). Both structures are defined by the IETF in RFC6458: * Section 5.3.2. SCTP Header Information Structure: The sctp_sndrcvinfo structure is defined below: struct sctp_sndrcvinfo { uint16_t sinfo_stream; uint16_t sinfo_ssn; uint16_t sinfo_flags; <-- 2 bytes hole --> uint32_t sinfo_ppid; uint32_t sinfo_context; uint32_t sinfo_timetolive; uint32_t sinfo_tsn; uint32_t sinfo_cumtsn; sctp_assoc_t sinfo_assoc_id; }; * 6.1.3. SCTP_REMOTE_ERROR: A remote peer may send an Operation Error message to its peer. This message indicates a variety of error conditions on an association. The entire ERROR chunk as it appears on the wire is included in an SCTP_REMOTE_ERROR event. Please refer to the SCTP specification [RFC4960] and any extensions for a list of possible error formats. An SCTP error notification has the following format: struct sctp_remote_error { uint16_t sre_type; uint16_t sre_flags; uint32_t sre_length; uint16_t sre_error; <-- 2 bytes hole --> sctp_assoc_t sre_assoc_id; uint8_t sre_data[]; }; Fix this by setting both to 0 before filling them out. We also have other structures shared between user and kernel space in SCTP that contains holes (e.g. struct sctp_paddrthlds), but we copy that buffer over from user space first and thus don't need to care about it in that cases. While at it, we can also remove lengthy comments copied from the draft, instead, we update the comment with the correct RFC number where one can look it up. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 99941754 ] If the 'next' pointer of the last fragment buffer in a message is not zeroed before reassembly, we risk ending up with a corrupt message, since the reassembly function itself isn't doing this. Currently, when a buffer is retrieved from the deferred queue of the broadcast link, the next pointer is not cleared, with the result as described above. This commit corrects this, and thereby fixes a bug that may occur when long broadcast messages are transmitted across dual interfaces. The bug has been present since 40ba3cdf ("tipc: message reassembly using fragment chain") This commit should be applied to both net and net-next. Signed-off-by:
