The EFI firmware on Macs contains a full-fledged network stack for downloading OS X images from osrecovery.apple.com. Unfortunately on Macs introduced 2011 and 2012, EFI brings up the Broadcom 4331 wireless card on every boot and leaves it enabled even after ExitBootServices has been called. The card continues to assert its IRQ line, causing spurious interrupts if the IRQ is shared. It also corrupts memory by DMAing received packets, allowing for remote code execution over the air. This only stops when a driver is loaded for the wireless card, which may be never if the driver is not installed or blacklisted. The issue seems to be constrained to the Broadcom 4331. Chris Milsted has verified that the newer Broadcom 4360 built into the MacBookPro11,3 (2013/2014) does not exhibit this behaviour. The chances that Apple will ever supply a firmware fix for the older machines appear to be zero. The solution is to reset the card on boot by writing to a reset bit in its mmio space. This must be done as an early quirk and not as a plain vanilla PCI quirk to successfully combat memory corruption by DMAed packets: Matthew Garrett found out in 2012 that the packets are written to EfiBootServicesData memory (http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/11235.html). This type of memory is made available to the page allocator by efi_free_boot_services(). Plain vanilla PCI quirks run much later, in subsys initcall level. In-between a time window would be open for memory corruption. Random crashes occurring in this time window and attributed to DMAed packets have indeed been observed in the wild by Chris Bainbridge. When Matthew Garrett analyzed the memory corruption issue in 2012, he sought to fix it with a grub quirk which transitions the card to D3hot: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=9d34bb85da56 This approach does not help users with other bootloaders and while it may prevent DMAed packets, it does not cure the spurious interrupts emanating from the card. Unfortunately the card's mmio space is inaccessible in D3hot, so to reset it, we have to undo the effect of Matthew's grub patch and transition the card back to D0. Note that the quirk takes a few shortcuts to reduce the amount of code: The size of BAR 0 and the location of the PM capability is identical on all affected machines and therefore hardcoded. Only the address of BAR 0 differs between models. Also, it is assumed that the BCMA core currently mapped is the 802.11 core. The EFI driver seems to always take care of this. Michael Büsch, Bjorn Helgaas and Matt Fleming contributed feedback towards finding the best solution to this problem. The following should be a comprehensive list of affected models: iMac13,1 2012 21.5" [Root Port 00:1c.3 = 8086:1e16] iMac13,2 2012 27" [Root Port 00:1c.3 = 8086:1e16] Macmini5,1 2011 i5 2.3 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12] Macmini5,2 2011 i5 2.5 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12] Macmini5,3 2011 i7 2.0 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12] Macmini6,1 2012 i5 2.5 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12] Macmini6,2 2012 i7 2.3 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12] MacBookPro8,1 2011 13" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12] MacBookPro8,2 2011 15" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12] MacBookPro8,3 2011 17" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12] MacBookPro9,1 2012 15" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12] MacBookPro9,2 2012 13" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12] MacBookPro10,1 2012 15" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12] MacBookPro10,2 2012 13" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12] For posterity, spurious interrupts caused by the Broadcom 4331 wireless card resulted in splats like this (stacktrace omitted): irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) handlers: [<ffffffff81374370>] pcie_isr [<ffffffffc0704550>] sdhci_irq [sdhci] threaded [<ffffffffc07013c0>] sdhci_thread_irq [sdhci] [<ffffffffc0a0b960>] azx_interrupt [snd_hda_codec] Disabling IRQ #17 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79301 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111781 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728916 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895951#c16 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009819 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1098621 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1149632#c5 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279130 Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1332732 Tested-by: Konstantin Simanov <k.simanov@stlk.ru> # [MacBookPro8,1] Tested-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> # [MacBookPro9,1] Tested-by: Bryan Paradis <bryan.paradis@gmail.com> # [MacBookPro9,2] Tested-by: Andrew Worsley <amworsley@gmail.com> # [MacBookPro10,1] Tested-by: Chris Bainbridge <chris.bainbridge@gmail.com> # [MacBookPro10,2] Signed-off-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> Acked-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Acked-by: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Chris Milsted <cmilsted@redhat.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

Lukas Wunner authored
We used to scan secondary buses until the following commit that was applied in 2009: 8659c406 ("x86: only scan the root bus in early PCI quirks") which commit constrained early quirks to the root bus only. Its motivation was to prevent application of the nvidia_bugs quirk on secondary buses. We're about to add a quirk to reset the Broadcom 4331 wireless card on 2011/2012 Macs, which is located on a secondary bus behind a PCIe root port. To facilitate that, reintroduce scanning of secondary buses. The commit message of 8659c406 notes that scanning only the root bus "saves quite some unnecessary scanning work". The algorithm used prior to 8659c406 was particularly time consuming because it scanned buses 0 to 31 brute force. To avoid lengthening boot time, employ a recursive strategy which only scans buses that are actually reachable from the root bus. Yinghai Lu pointed out that the secondary bus number read from a bridge's config space may be invalid, in particular a value of 0 would cause an infinite loop. The PCI core goes beyond that and recurses to a child bus only if its bus number is greater than the parent bus number (see pci_scan_bridge()). Since the root bus is numbered 0, this implies that secondary buses may not be 0. Do the same on early scanning. If this algorithm is found to significantly impact boot time or cause infinite loops on broken hardware, it would be possible to limit its recursion depth: The Broadcom 4331 quirk applies at depth 1, all others at depth 0, so the bus need not be scanned deeper than that for now. An alternative approach would be to revert to scanning only the root bus, and apply the Broadcom 4331 quirk to the root ports 8086:1c12, 8086:1e12 and 8086:1e16. Apple always positioned the card behind either of these three ports. The quirk would then check presence of the card in slot 0 below the root port and do its deed.

As of Xen 4.7 PV CPUID doesn't expose either of CPUID[1].ECX[7] and CPUID[0x80000007].EDX[7] anymore, causing the driver to fail to load on both Intel and AMD systems. Doing any kind of hardware capability checks in the driver as a prerequisite was wrong anyway: With the hypervisor being in charge, all such checking should be done by it. If ACPI data gets uploaded despite some missing capability, the hypervisor is free to ignore part or all of that data. Ditch the entire check_prereq() function, and do the only valid check (xen_initial_domain()) in the caller in its place.

xenbus_dev_request_and_reply() needs to track whether a transaction is open. For XS_TRANSACTION_START messages it calls transaction_start() and for XS_TRANSACTION_END messages it calls transaction_end(). If sending an XS_TRANSACTION_START message fails or responds with an an error, the transaction is not open and transaction_end() must be called. If sending an XS_TRANSACTION_END message fails, the transaction is still open, but if an error response is returned the transaction is closed. Commit 027bd7e8 ("xen/xenbus: Avoid synchronous wait on XenBus stalling shutdown/restart") introduced a regression where failed XS_TRANSACTION_START messages were leaving the transaction open. This can cause problems with suspend (and migration) as all transactions must be closed before suspending. It appears that the problematic change was added accidentally, so just remove it.

This reverts commit 2f36db71. It fixed a local root exploit but also introduced a dependency on the lower file system implementing an mmap operation just to open a file, which is a bit of a heavy hammer. The right fix is to have mmap depend on the existence of the mmap handler instead.

If we take an exception while at EL1, the exception handler inherits the original context's addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO values. To be consistent always reset addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO on (re-)entry to EL1. This prevents accidental re-use of the original context's addr_limit. Based on a similar patch for arm from Russell King.

The following commit: 66eb579e ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering") added the pmu::filter_match() callback. This was intended to avoid HW constraints on events from resulting in extremely pessimistic scheduling. However, pmu::filter_match() is only called for the leader of each event group. When the leader is a SW event, we do not filter the groups, and may fail at pmu::add() time, and when this happens we'll give up on scheduling any event groups later in the list until they are rotated ahead of the failing group. This can result in extremely sub-optimal event scheduling behaviour, e.g. if running the following on a big.LITTLE platform: $ taskset -c 0 ./perf stat \ -e 'a57{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/}' \ -e 'a53{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/}' \ ls <not counted> context-switches (0.00%) <not counted> armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/ (0.00%) 24 context-switches (37.36%) 57589154 armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/ (37.36%) Here the 'a53' event group was always eligible to be scheduled, but the 'a57' group never eligible to be scheduled, as the task was always affine to a Cortex-A53 CPU. The SW (group leader) event in the 'a57' group was eligible, but the HW event failed at pmu::add() time, resulting in ctx_flexible_sched_in giving up on scheduling further groups with HW events. One way of avoiding this is to check pmu::filter_match() on siblings as well as the group leader. If any of these fail their pmu::filter_match() call, we must skip the entire group before attempting to add any events.

The "expert" menu was broken (split) such that all entries in it after KALLSYMS were displayed in the "General setup" area instead of in the "Expert users" area. Fix this by adding one kconfig dependency. Yes, the Expert users menu is fragile. Problems like this have happened several times in the past. I will attempt to isolate the Expert users menu if there is interest in that.
