Pull device-mapper fix from Alasdair Kergon: "A patch to avoid data corruption in a device-mapper snapshot. This is primarily a data corruption bug that all users of device-mapper snapshots will want to fix. The CVE is due to a data leak under specific circumstances if, for example, the snapshot is presented to a virtual machine: a block written as data inside the VM can get interpreted incorrectly on the host outside the VM as metadata, causing the host to provide the VM with access to blocks it would not otherwise see. This is likely to affect few, if any, people" * tag 'dm-3.12-fix-cve' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm snapshot: fix data corruption

This patch fixes a particular type of data corruption that has been encountered when loading a snapshot's metadata from disk. When we allocate a new chunk in persistent_prepare, we increment ps->next_free and we make sure that it doesn't point to a metadata area by further incrementing it if necessary. When we load metadata from disk on device activation, ps->next_free is positioned after the last used data chunk. However, if this last used data chunk is followed by a metadata area, ps->next_free is positioned erroneously to the metadata area. A newly-allocated chunk is placed at the same location as the metadata area, resulting in data or metadata corruption. This patch changes the code so that ps->next_free skips the metadata area when metadata are loaded in function read_exceptions. The patch also moves a piece of code from persistent_prepare_exception to a separate function skip_metadata to avoid code duplication.

We use jump label to enable pv-spinlock. With the changes in (442e0973 Merge branch 'x86/jumplabel'), the jump label behaviour has changed that would result in eventual hang of the VM since we would end up in a situation where slow path locks would halt the vcpus but we will not be able to wakeup the vcpu by lock releaser using unlock kick. Similar problem in Xen and more detailed description is available in a945928e (xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init() has executed) This patch splits kvm_spinlock_init to separate jump label changes with pvops patching and also make jump label enabling after jump_label_init().

Grant Likely authored
This reverts commit 109b6236. Tim Bird expressed concern that this will have a bad effect on boot time, and while simple tests have shown it to be okay with simple tree, a device tree blob can potentially be quite large and add_device_randomness() is not a fast function. Rather than do this for all platforms unconditionally, I'm reverting this patch and would like to see it revisited. Instead of feeding the entire tree into the random pool, it would probably be appropriate to hash the tree and feed the hash result into the pool. There really isn't a lot of randomness in a device tree anyway. In the majority of cases only a handful of properties are going to be different between machines with the same baseboard.

Not all DT platforms have all the cpus collected under a /cpus node. That just happens to be a details of FDT, ePAPR and PowerPC platforms. Sparc does something different, but unfortunately the current code complains with a warning if /cpus isn't there. This became a problem with commit f86e4718, "driver/core cpu: initialize of_node in cpu's device structure", which caused the function to get called for all architectures. This commit is a temporary fix to fail silently if the cpus node isn't present. A proper fix will come later to allow arch code to provide a custom mechanism for decoding the CPU hwid if the 'reg' property isn't appropriate.

In ftrace_syscall_enter(), syscall_get_arguments(..., 0, n, ...) if (i == 0) { <handle ORIG_r0> ...; n--;} memcpy(..., n * sizeof(args[0])); If 'number of arguments(n)' is zero and 'argument index(i)' is also zero in syscall_get_arguments(), none of arguments should be copied by memcpy(). Otherwise 'n--' can be a big positive number and unexpected amount of data will be copied. Tracing system calls which take no argument, say sync(void), may hit this case and eventually make the system corrupted. This patch fixes the issue both in syscall_get_arguments() and syscall_set_arguments().

Running an "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger" crashes the parisc kernel. The problem is, that in print_worker_info() we try to read the workqueue info via the probe_kernel_read() functions which use pagefault_disable() to avoid crashes like this: probe_kernel_read(&pwq, &worker->current_pwq, sizeof(pwq)); probe_kernel_read(&wq, &pwq->wq, sizeof(wq)); probe_kernel_read(name, wq->name, sizeof(name) - 1); The problem here is, that the first probe_kernel_read(&pwq) might return zero in pwq and as such the following probe_kernel_reads() try to access contents of the page zero which is read protected and generate a kernel segfault. With this patch we fix the interruption handler to call parisc_terminate() directly only if pagefault_disable() was not called (in which case preempt_count()==0). Otherwise we hand over to the pagefault handler which will try to look up the faulting address in the fixup tables.

Olga reported that file descriptors opened with O_PATH do not work with fstatfs(), found during further development of ksh93's thread support. There is no reason to not allow O_PATH file descriptors here (fstatfs is very much a path operation), so use "fdget_raw()". See commit 55815f70 ("vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fstat()'") for a very similar issue reported for fstat() by the same team.
