commit fa460c2d upstream. This reverts commit e4715f01. mem_cgroup_put is hierarchy aware so mem_cgroup_put(memcg) already drops an additional reference from all parents so the additional mem_cgrroup_put(parent) potentially causes use-after-free.

commit f51e1eb6 upstream. Toralf Förster reported that the cpufreq ondemand governor behaves erratically (doesn't scale well) after a suspend/resume cycle. The problem was that the cpufreq subsystem's idea of the cpu frequencies differed from the actual frequencies set in the hardware after a suspend/resume cycle. Toralf bisected the problem to commit a66b2e5 (cpufreq: Preserve sysfs files across suspend/resume). Among other (harmless) things, that commit skipped the call to cpufreq_update_policy() in the resume path. But cpufreq_update_policy() plays an important role during resume, because it is responsible for checking if the BIOS changed the cpu frequencies behind our back and resynchronize the cpufreq subsystem's knowledge of the cpu frequencies, and update them accordingly. So, restore the call to cpufreq_update_policy() in the resume path to fix the cpufreq regression. Reported-and-tested-by: Toralf Förster <toralf.foerster@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

commit 2ee3e26c upstream. Commit 39c60a09 '[SCSI] sd: fix array cache flushing bug causing performance problems' added temp as a pointer to "temporary " and used sizeof(temp) - 1 as its length. But sizeof(temp) is the size of the pointer, not the size of the string constant. Change temp to a static array so that sizeof() does what was intended.

commit 03617c18 upstream. Some userspaces do not preserve unusable property. Since usable segment has to be present according to VMX spec we can use present property to amend userspace bug by making unusable segment always nonpresent. vmx_segment_access_rights() already marks nonpresent segment as unusable.

commit 24750082 upstream. A freebsd NFSv4.0 client was getting rare IO errors expanding a tarball. A network trace showed the server returning BAD_XDR on the final getattr of a getattr+write+getattr compound. The final getattr started on a page boundary. I believe the Linux client ignores errors on the post-write getattr, and that that's why we haven't seen this before. Reported-by: Rick Macklem <rmacklem@uoguelph.ca> Signed-off-by: J.

commit 13d60f4b upstream. The futex_keys of process shared futexes are generated from the page offset, the mapping host and the mapping index of the futex user space address. This should result in an unique identifier for each futex. Though this is not true when futexes are located in different subpages of an hugepage. The reason is, that the mapping index for all those futexes evaluates to the index of the base page of the hugetlbfs mapping. So a futex at offset 0 of the hugepage mapping and another one at offset PAGE_SIZE of the same hugepage mapping have identical futex_keys. This happens because the futex code blindly uses page->index. Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. Map a file from hugetlbfs. Initialize pthread_mutex1 at offset 0 and pthread_mutex2 at offset PAGE_SIZE of the hugetlbfs mapping. The mutexes must be initialized as PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED because PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE mutexes are not affected by this issue as their keys solely depend on the user space address. 2. Lock mutex1 and mutex2 3. Create thread1 and in the thread function lock mutex1, which results in thread1 blocking on the locked mutex1. 4. Create thread2 and in the thread function lock mutex2, which results in thread2 blocking on the locked mutex2. 5. Unlock mutex2. Despite the fact that mutex2 got unlocked, thread2 still blocks on mutex2 because the futex_key points to mutex1. To solve this issue we need to take the normal page index of the page which contains the futex into account, if the futex is in an hugetlbfs mapping. In other words, we calculate the normal page mapping index of the subpage in the hugetlbfs mapping. Mappings which are not based on hugetlbfs are not affected and still use page->index. Thanks to Mel Gorman who provided a patch for adding proper evaluation functions to the hugetlbfs code to avoid exposing hugetlbfs specific details to the futex code.

commit 8d8022e8 upstream. v3.8-rc1-5-g1fb9341a was supposed to stop parallel kvm loads exhausting percpu memory on large machines: Now we have a new state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, we can insert the module into the list (and thus guarantee its uniqueness) before we allocate the per-cpu region. In my defence, it didn't actually say the patch did this. Just that we "can". This patch actually *does* it.

commit 542db015 upstream. In drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data() allocates a memory area with kmalloc in line 2885. 2885 cgc->buffer = kmalloc(blocksize, GFP_KERNEL); 2886 if (cgc->buffer == NULL) 2887 return -ENOMEM; In line 2908 we can find the copy_to_user function: 2908 if (!ret && copy_to_user(arg, cgc->buffer, blocksize)) The cgc->buffer is never cleaned and initialized before this function. If ret = 0 with the previous basic block, it's possible to display some memory bytes in kernel space from userspace. When we read a block from the disk it normally fills the ->buffer but if the drive is malfunctioning there is a chance that it would only be partially filled. The result is an leak information to userspace.

It appears that I had a fix for that already in powerpc-next (with a stable CC). I cherry-picked it today and did a few tests and it seems that things now work quite well.

While running Linux as guest on top of phyp, we possiblly have PE that includes single PCI device. However, we didn't return its PCI bus correctly and it leads to failure on recovery from EEH errors for single-dev-PE. The patch fixes the issue.

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "We discovered some breakage in our "EEH" (PCI Error Handling) code while doing error injection, due to a couple of regressions. One of them is due to a patch (37f02195 "powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc platform") that, in hindsight, I shouldn't have merged considering that it caused more problems than it solved. Please pull those two fixes. One for a simple EEH address cache initialization issue. The other one is a patch from Guenter that I had originally planned to put in 3.11 but which happens to also fix that other regression (a kernel oops during EEH error handling and possibly hotplug). With those two, the couple of test machines I've hammered with error injection are remaining up now. EEH appears to still fail to recover on some devices, so there is another problem that Gavin is looking into but at least it's no longer crashing the kernel." * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/pci: Improve device hotplug initialization powerpc/eeh: Add eeh_dev to the cache during boot

Due to recent changes and expecations of proper cpu bindings, there are now cases for many of the in-tree devicetrees where a WARN() will hit on boot due to badly formatted /cpus nodes. Downgrade this to a pr_warn() to be less alarmist, since it's not a new problem. Tested on Arndale, Cubox, Seaboard and Panda ES. Panda hits the WARN without this, the others do not.

Commit 37f02195 (powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc platform) fixes a problem with interrupt and DMA initialization on hot plugged devices. With this commit, interrupt and DMA initialization for hot plugged devices is handled in the pci device enable function. This approach has a couple of drawbacks. First, it creates two code paths for device initialization, one for hot plugged devices and another for devices known during the initial PCI scan. Second, the initialization code for hot plugged devices is only called when the device is enabled, ie typically in the probe function. Also, the platform specific setup code is called each time pci_enable_device() is called, not only once during device discovery, meaning it is actually called multiple times, once for devices discovered during the initial scan and again each time a driver is re-loaded. The visible result is that interrupt pins are only assigned to hot plugged devices when the device driver is loaded. Effectively this changes the PCI probe API, since pci_dev->irq and the device's dma configuration will now only be valid after pci_enable() was called at least once. A more subtle change is that platform specific PCI device setup is moved from device discovery into the driver's probe function, more specifically into the pci_enable_device() call. To fix the inconsistencies, add new function pcibios_add_device. Call pcibios_setup_device from pcibios_setup_bus_devices if device setup is not complete, and from pcibios_add_device if bus setup is complete. With this change, device setup code is moved back into device initialization, and called exactly once for both static and hot plugged devices. [ This also fixes a regression introduced by the above patch which causes dev->irq to be overwritten under some cirumstances after MSIs have been enabled for the device which leads to crashes due to the MSI core "hijacking" dev->irq to store the base MSI number and not the LSI. --BenH ] Cc: Yuanquan Chen <Yuanquan.Chen@freescale.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Hiroo Matsumoto <matsumoto.hiroo@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into kernel memory. The issue here is that even if copy_siginfo_to_user() fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed. Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle, so it has not hit a stable release yet.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'. This means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses it, and this is a very bad bug: not only 'ubifs_readdir()' can return garbage, but this may corrupt memory and lead to all kinds of problems like crashes an security holes. This patch fixes the problem by using the 'file->f_version' field, which '->llseek()' always unconditionally sets to zero. We set it to 1 in 'ubifs_readdir()' and whenever we detect that it became 0, we know there was a seek and it is time to clear the state saved in 'file->private_data'. I tested this patch by writing a user-space program which runds readdir and seek in parallell. I could easily crash the kernel without these patches, but could not crash it with these patches.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'. First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses it. But this particular patch does not fix the problem. This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next. In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly, because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names may correspond to incorrect file positions. So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".

This fixes the problem that "init=" options may not be passed to kernel correctly. parse_mem_cmdline() of mn10300 arch gets rid of "mem=" string from redboot_command_line. Then init_setup() parses the "init=" options from static_command_line, which is a copy of redboot_command_line, and keeps the pointer to the init options in execute_command variable. Since the commit 026cee00 upstream (params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters), static_command_line becomes overwritten by saved_command_line at do_initcall_level(). Notice that saved_command_line is a command line which includes "mem=" string. As a result, execute_command may point to weird string by the length of "mem=" parameter. I noticed this problem when using the command line like this: mem=128M console=ttyS0,115200 init=/bin/sh Here is the processing flow of command line parameters. start_kernel() setup_arch(&command_line) parse_mem_cmdline(cmdline_p) * strcpy(boot_command_line, redboot_command_line); * Remove "mem=xxx" from redboot_command_line. * *cmdline_p = redboot_command_line; setup_command_line(command_line) <-- command_line is redboot_command_line * strcpy(saved_command_line, boot_command_line) * strcpy(static_command_line, command_line) parse_early_param() strlcpy(tmp_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE); parse_early_options(tmp_cmdline); parse_args("early options", cmdline, NULL, 0, 0, 0, do_early_param); parse_args("Booting ..", static_command_line, ...); init_setup() <-- save the pointer in execute_command rest_init() kernel_thread(kernel_init, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND); At this point, execute_command points to "/bin/sh" string. kernel_init() kernel_init_freeable() do_basic_setup() do_initcalls() do_initcall_level() (*) strcpy(static_command_line, saved_command_line); Here, execute_command gets to point to "200" string !!

commit f8f7d63f ("powerpc/eeh: Trace eeh device from I/O cache") broke EEH on pseries for devices that were present during boot and have not been hotplugged/DLPARed. eeh_check_failure will get the eeh_dev from the cache, and will get NULL. eeh_addr_cache_build adds the addresses to the cache, but eeh_dev for the giving pci_device is not set yet. Just reordering the call to eeh_addr_cache_insert_dev works fine. The ordering is similar to the one in eeh_add_device_late.
