commit 5b789da8 upstream. The function bitcpy_rev has a bug that may result in screen corruption. The bug happens under these conditions: * the end of the destination area of a copy operation is aligned on a long word boundary * the end of the source area is not aligned on a long word boundary * we are copying more than one long word In this case, the variable shift is non-zero and the variable first is zero. The statements FB_WRITEL(comp(d0, FB_READL(dst), first), dst) reads the last long word of the destination and writes it back unchanged (because first is zero). Correctly, we should write the variable d0 to the last word of the destination in this case. This patch fixes the bug by introducing and extra test if first is zero. The patch also removes the references to fb_memmove in the code that is commented out because fb_memmove was removed from framebuffer subsystem. Signed-off-by:

commit f74a289b upstream. The framebuffer code uses the current background color to fill the border when switching consoles, however, this results in inconsistent behavior. For example: - start Midnigh Commander - the border is black - switch to another console and switch back - the border is cyan - type something into the command line in mc - the border is cyan - switch to another console and switch back - the border is black - press F9 to go to menu - the border is black - switch to another console and switch back - the border is dark blue When switching to a console with Midnight Commander, the border is random color that was left selected by the slang subsystem. This patch fixes this inconsistency by always using black as the background color when switching consoles. Signed-off-by:

commit df817ba3 upstream. The current open/lock state recovery unfortunately does not handle errors such as NFS4ERR_CONN_NOT_BOUND_TO_SESSION correctly. Instead of looping, just proceeds as if the state manager is finished recovering. This patch ensures that we loop back, handle higher priority errors and complete the open/lock state recovery.

commit 72cf9012 upstream. This fix ensures that we never meet an integer overflow while adding 255 while parsing a variable length encoding. It works differently from commit 206a81c1 ("lzo: properly check for overruns") because instead of ensuring that we don't overrun the input, which is tricky to guarantee due to many assumptions in the code, it simply checks that the cumulated number of 255 read cannot overflow by bounding this number. The MAX_255_COUNT is the maximum number of times we can add 255 to a base count without overflowing an integer. The multiply will overflow when multiplying 255 by more than MAXINT/255. The sum will overflow earlier depending on the base count. Since the base count is taken from a u8 and a few bits, it is safe to assume that it will always be lower than or equal to 2*255, thus we can always prevent any overflow by accepting two less 255 steps. This patch also reduces the CPU overhead and actually increases performance by 1.1% compared to the initial code, while the previous fix costs 3.1% (measured on x86_64). The fix needs to be backported to all currently supported stable kernels. Reported-by:

commit 2ea75be3 upstream. vcpu ioctls can hang the calling thread if issued while a vcpu is running. However, invalid ioctls can happen when userspace tries to probe the kind of file descriptors (e.g. isatty() calls ioctl(TCGETS)); in that case, we know the ioctl is going to be rejected as invalid anyway and we can fail before trying to take the vcpu mutex. This patch does not change functionality, it just makes invalid ioctls fail faster. Signed-off-by:

commit b29ef354 upstream. Minimize failures in this function by pre-allocating the buffer for posting messages. The hypercall for posting the message can fail for a number of reasons: 1. Transient resource related issues 2. Buffer alignment 3. Buffer cannot span a page boundry We address issues 2 and 3 by preallocating a per-cpu page for the buffer.

commit 3bacc10c upstream. Fix clamp_align() used in v4l_bound_align_image() to prevent overflow when passed large value like UINT32_MAX. In the current implementation: clamp_align(UINT32_MAX, 8, 8192, 3) returns 8, because in line: x = (x + (1 << (align - 1))) & mask; x overflows to (-1 + 4) & 0x7 = 3, while expected value is 8192. v4l_bound_align_image() is heavily used in VIDIOC_S_FMT and VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT ioctls handlers, and documentation of the latter explicitly states that: "The modified format should be as close as possible to the original request." -- http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/vidioc-subdev-g-fmt.html Thus one would expect, that passing UINT32_MAX as format width and height will result in setting maximum possible resolution for the device. Particularly, when the driver doesn't support VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES ioctl, which is common in the codebase. Fixes changeset: b0d3159bSigned-off-by:

commit 89ec3dcf upstream. Some implementations of modprobe fail to load the driver for a PCI device automatically because the "interface" part of the modalias from the kernel is lowercase, and the modalias from file2alias is uppercase. The "interface" is the low-order byte of the Class Code, defined in PCI r3.0, Appendix D. Most interface types defined in the spec do not use alpha characters, so they won't be affected. For example, 00h, 01h, 10h, 20h, etc. are unaffected. Print the "interface" byte of the Class Code in uppercase hex, as we already do for the Vendor ID, Device ID, Class, etc. [bhelgaas: changelog] Signed-off-by:

commit 9fe373f9 upstream. The Crocodile chip occasionally comes up with 4k and 8k BAR sizes. Due to an erratum, setting the SR-IOV page size causes the physical function BARs to expand to the system page size. Since ppc64 uses 64k pages, when Linux tries to assign the smaller resource sizes to the now 64k BARs the address will be truncated and the BARs will overlap. Force Linux to allocate the resource as a full page, which avoids the overlap. [bhelgaas: print expanded resource, too] Signed-off-by:

commit 052c2807 upstream. Hu (hujianyang@huawei.com) discovered a race condition which may lead to a situation when UBIFS is unable to mount the file-system after an unclean reboot. The problem is theoretical, though. In UBIFS, we have the log, which basically a set of LEBs in a certain area. The log has the tail and the head. Every time user writes data to the file-system, the UBIFS journal grows, and the log grows as well, because we append new reference nodes to the head of the log. So the head moves forward all the time, while the log tail stays at the same position. At any time, the UBIFS master node points to the tail of the log. When we mount the file-system, we scan the log, and we always start from its tail, because this is where the master node points to. The only occasion when the tail of the log changes is the commit operation. The commit operation has 2 phases - "commit start" and "commit end". The former is relatively short, and does not involve much I/O. During this phase we mostly just build various in-memory lists of the things which have to be written to the flash media during "commit end" phase. During the commit start phase, what we do is we "clean" the log. Indeed, the commit operation will index all the data in the journal, so the entire journal "disappears", and therefore the data in the log become unneeded. So we just move the head of the log to the next LEB, and write the CS node there. This LEB will be the tail of the new log when the commit operation finishes. When the "commit start" phase finishes, users may write more data to the file-system, in parallel with the ongoing "commit end" operation. At this point the log tail was not changed yet, it is the same as it had been before we started the commit. The log head keeps moving forward, though. The commit operation now needs to write the new master node, and the new master node should point to the new log tail. After this the LEBs between the old log tail and the new log tail can be unmapped and re-used again. And here is the possible problem. We do 2 operations: (a) We first update the log tail position in memory (see 'ubifs_log_end_commit()'). (b) And then we write the master node (see the big lock of code in 'do_commit()'). But nothing prevents the log head from moving forward between (a) and (b), and the log head may "wrap" now to the old log tail. And when the "wrap" happens, the contends of the log tail gets erased. Now a power cut happens and we are in trouble. We end up with the old master node pointing to the old tail, which was erased. And replay fails because it expects the master node to point to the correct log tail at all times. This patch merges the abovementioned (a) and (b) operations by moving the master node change code to the 'ubifs_log_end_commit()' function, so that it runs with the log mutex locked, which will prevent the log from being changed benween operations (a) and (b).

commit 56f17dd3 upstream. The following events can lead to an incorrect KVM_EXIT_MMIO bubbling up to userspace: (1) Guest accesses gpa X without a memory slot. The gfn is cached in struct kvm_vcpu_arch (mmio_gfn). On Intel EPT-enabled hosts, KVM sets the SPTE write-execute-noread so that future accesses cause EPT_MISCONFIGs. (2) Host userspace creates a memory slot via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION covering the page just accessed. (3) Guest attempts to read or write to gpa X again. On Intel, this generates an EPT_MISCONFIG. The memory slot generation number that was incremented in (2) would normally take care of this but we fast path mmio faults through quickly_check_mmio_pf(), which only checks the per-vcpu mmio cache. Since we hit the cache, KVM passes a KVM_EXIT_MMIO up to userspace. This patch fixes the issue by using the memslot generation number to validate the mmio cache. Signed-off-by:
