commit edc3b912 upstream. The x86 pageattr code is confused about the data that is stored in cpa->pfn, sometimes it's treated as a page frame number, sometimes it's treated as an unshifted physical address, and in one place it's treated as a pte. The result of this is that the mapping functions do not map the intended physical address. This isn't a problem in practice because most of the addresses we're mapping in the EFI code paths are already mapped in 'trampoline_pgd' and so the pageattr mapping functions don't actually do anything in this case. But when we move to using a separate page table for the EFI runtime this will be an issue. Signed-off-by:

commit 1137b5e2 upstream. An independent security researcher, Mohamed Ghannam, has reported this vulnerability to Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program. The xfrm_dump_policy_done function expects xfrm_dump_policy to have been called at least once or it will crash. This can be triggered if a dump fails because the target socket's receive buffer is full. This patch fixes it by using the cb->start mechanism to ensure that the initialisation is always done regardless of the buffer situation.

[ Upstream commit 639b0881 ] When accessing Xenstore in a transaction the user is specifying a transaction id which he normally obtained from Xenstore when starting the transaction. Xenstore is validating a transaction id against all known transaction ids of the connection the request came in. As all requests of a domain not being the one where Xenstore lives share one connection, validation of transaction ids of different users of Xenstore in that domain should be done by the kernel of that domain being the multiplexer between the Xenstore users in that domain and Xenstore. In order to prohibit one Xenstore user "hijacking" a transaction from another user the xenbus driver has to verify a given transaction id against all known transaction ids of the user before forwarding it to Xenstore.

[ Upstream commit 88407beb ] Ath10k reports the phy capability that supports P2P_DEVICE interface. When we use the P2P supported wpa_supplicant to start connection, it'll create two interfaces, one is wlan0 (vdev_id=0) and one is P2P_DEVICE p2p-dev-wlan0 which is for p2p control channel (vdev_id=1). ath10k_pci mac vdev create 0 (add interface) type 2 subtype 0 ath10k_add_interface: vdev_id: 0, txpower: 0, bss_power: 0 ... ath10k_pci mac vdev create 1 (add interface) type 2 subtype 1 ath10k_add_interface: vdev_id: 1, txpower: 0, bss_power: 0 And the txpower in per vif bss_conf will only be set to valid tx power when the interface is assigned with channel_ctx. But this P2P_DEVICE interface will never be used for any connection, so that the uninitialized bss_conf.txpower=0 is assinged to the arvif->txpower when interface created. Since the txpower configuration is firmware per physical interface. So the smallest txpower of all vifs will be the one limit the tx power of the physical device, that causing the low txpower issue on other active interfaces. wlan0: Limiting TX power to 21 (24 - 3) dBm ath10k_pci mac vdev_id 0 txpower 21 ath10k_mac_txpower_recalc: vdev_id: 1, txpower: 0 ath10k_mac_txpower_recalc: vdev_id: 0, txpower: 21 ath10k_pci mac txpower 0 This issue only happens when we use the wpa_supplicant that supports P2P or if we use the iw tool to create the control P2P_DEVICE interface.

[ Upstream commit 7bb387c5 ] IP_MULTICAST_IF fails if sk_bound_dev_if is already set and the new index does not match it. e.g., ntpd[15381]: setsockopt IP_MULTICAST_IF 192.168.1.23 fails: Invalid argument Relax the check in setsockopt to allow setting mc_index to an L3 slave if sk_bound_dev_if points to an L3 master. Make a similar change for IPv6. In this case change the device lookup to take the rcu_read_lock avoiding a refcnt. The rcu lock is also needed for the lookup of a potential L3 master device. This really only silences a setsockopt failure since uses of mc_index are secondary to sk_bound_dev_if if it is set. In both cases, if either index is an L3 slave or master, lookups are directed to the same FIB table so relaxing the check at setsockopt time causes no harm. Patch is based on a suggested change by Darwin for a problem noted in their code base. Suggested-by:

[ Upstream commit 977509f7 ] Previously we didn't check the type of device before trying to apply Type 1 (PCI-X) or Type 2 (PCIe) Setting Records from _HPX. We don't support PCI-X Setting Records, so this was harmless, but the warning was useless. We do support PCIe Setting Records, and we didn't check whether a device was PCIe before applying settings. I don't think anything bad happened on non-PCIe devices because pcie_capability_clear_and_set_word(), pcie_cap_has_lnkctl(), etc., would fail before doing any harm. But it's ugly to depend on those internals. Check the device type before attempting to apply Type 1 and Type 2 Setting Records (Type 0 records are applicable to PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe devices). A side benefit is that this prevents useless "not supported" warnings when a BIOS supplies a Type 1 (PCI-X) Setting Record and we try to apply it to every single device: pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI-X settings not supported After this patch, we'll get the warning only when a BIOS supplies a Type 1 record and we have a PCI-X device to which it should be applied.

commit a0b3bc85 upstream. fscrypt_initialize(), which allocates the global bounce page pool when an encrypted file is first accessed, uses "double-checked locking" to try to avoid locking fscrypt_init_mutex. However, it doesn't use any memory barriers, so it's theoretically possible for a thread to observe a bounce page pool which has not been fully initialized. This is a classic bug with "double-checked locking". While "only a theoretical issue" in the latest kernel, in pre-4.8 kernels the pointer that was checked was not even the last to be initialized, so it was easily possible for a crash (NULL pointer dereference) to happen. This was changed only incidentally by the large refactor to use fs/crypto/. Solve both problems in a trivial way that can easily be backported: just always take the mutex. It's theoretically less efficient, but it shouldn't be noticeable in practice as the mutex is only acquired very briefly once per encrypted file. Later I'd like to make this use a helper macro like DO_ONCE(). However, DO_ONCE() runs in atomic context, so we'd need to add a new macro that allows blocking. Signed-off-by:

commit 4bdced5c upstream. When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on the current CPU. When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To solve this issue, commit: b6366f04 ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling") changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work. Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet, when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs. Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI being sent around at a time. This greatly simplifies the code! The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields attached to it: rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task is the one to kick off the process. rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that schedules in a lower priority task. rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to compare against rto_loop_next rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by the rto_lock. When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0", then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs. If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done. When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is currently running on that CPU. Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues. If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU in rto_mask is sent the IPI. This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else could anyone ask for? Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper functions. Signed-off-by:

commit 9cac9d2f upstream. VIDIOC_DQEVENT and VIDIOC_QUERY_EXT_CTRL should give the same output for the control flags field. This patch creates a new function user_flags(), that calculates the user exported flags value (which is different than the kernel internal flags structure). This function is then used by all the code that exports the internal flags to userspace. Reported-by:
