      uprobes: Kill UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP and can_skip_sstep() · 8a6b1732
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      UPROBE_COPY_INSN, UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP, and uprobe->flags must die. This
      patch kills UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP. I never understood why it was added;
      not only it doesn't help, it harms.
      
      It can only help to avoid arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() if it was already
      called before and failed. But this is ugly, if we want to know whether
      we can emulate this instruction or not we should do this analysis in
      arch_uprobe_analyze_insn(), not when we hit this probe for the first
      time.
      
      And in fact this logic is simply wrong. arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() can
      fail or not depending on the task/register state, if this insn can be
      emulated but, say, put_user() fails we need to xol it this time, but
      this doesn't mean we shouldn't try to emulate it when this or another
      thread hits this bp next time.
      
      And this is the actual reason for this change. We need to emulate the
      "call" insn, but push(return-address) can obviously fail.
      
      Per-arch notes:
      
      	x86: __skip_sstep() can only emulate "rep;nop". With this
      	     change it will be called every time and most probably
      	     for no reason.
      
      	     This will be fixed by the next changes. We need to
      	     change this suboptimal code anyway.
      
      	arm: Should not be affected. It has its own "bool simulate"
      	     flag checked in arch_uprobe_skip_sstep().
      
      	ppc: Looks like, it can emulate almost everything. Does it
      	     actually need to record the fact that emulate_step()
      	     failed? Hopefully not. But if yes, it can add the ppc-
      	     specific flag into arch_uprobe.

      sym53c8xx_2: Set DID_REQUEUE return code when aborting squeue · fd1232b2
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk
      returns QUEUE FULL status.
      
      When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY
      status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function
      sym_dequeue_from_squeue.
      
      This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR.
      
      If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is
      aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries
      it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts
      the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer
      does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd.
      
      The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures.
      
      The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk
      (rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags.  The disk has
      64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there
      are less than 64 pending tags.  The SCSI specification allows returning
      QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

      powerpc: Don't try to set LPCR unless we're in hypervisor mode · 18aa0da3
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit 8f619b54 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on
      interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR
      without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode.  The
      result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under
      PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction
      interrupt at that point, causing a panic.  The visible result is that
      the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init".
      
      This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before
      setting LPCR.  If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on
      interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.

      futex: update documentation for ordering guarantees · d7e8af1a
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Commits 11d4616b ("futex: revert back to the explicit waiter
      counting code") and 69cd9eba ("futex: avoid race between requeue and
      wake") changed some of the finer details of how we think about futexes.
      One was a late fix and the other a consequence of overlooking the whole
      requeuing logic.
      
      The first change caused our documentation to be incorrect, and the
      second made us aware that we need to explicitly add more details to it.

       4) If VLAN untagging fails, we double free the SKB in the bridging

       5) Several call sites of sk->sk_data_ready() were referencing an SKB
          just added to the socket receive queue in order to calculate the
          second argument via skb->len.  This is dangerous because the moment
          the skb is added to the receive queue it can be consumed in another
          context and freed up.
      
          It turns out also that none of the sk->sk_data_ready()
          implementations even care about this second argument.
      
          So just kill it off and thus fix all these use-after-free bugs as a
