commit 32a15832 upstream. It looks like clockevents_unbind is being exported by mistake as: - it is static; - it is not listed in include/linux/clockchips.h; - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(clockevents_unbind) follows clockevents_unbind_device() implementation. I think clockevents_unbind_device should be exported instead. This is going to be used to teardown Hyper-V clockevent devices on module unload. Signed-off-by:

commit 205e1e25 upstream. Matt reported that we have a NULL pointer dereference in ppp_pernet() from ppp_connect_channel(), i.e. pch->chan_net is NULL. This is due to that a parallel ppp_unregister_channel() could happen while we are in ppp_connect_channel(), during which pch->chan_net set to NULL. Since we need a reference to net per channel, it makes sense to sync the refcnt with the life time of the channel, therefore we should release this reference when we destroy it. Fixes: 1f461dcd ("ppp: take reference on channels netns") Reported-by:

commit 135e8c92 upstream. The origin of the issue I've seen is related to a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and the check for task->on_rq. The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule() and is doing the following: do { schedule() set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE); } while (!cond); The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in try_to_wake_up(): while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax(); Analysis: The instance I've seen involves the following race: CPU1 CPU2 while () { if (cond) break; do { schedule(); set_current_state(TASK_UN..) } while (!cond); wakeup_routine() spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process() } try_to_wake_up() set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); .. list_del(&waiter.list); CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs: CPU3 wakeup_routine() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) if (!list_empty) wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock) .. if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup()) .. while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax() .. CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately after CPU2, CPU3 got it. CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis, but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible (based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not done uder the pi_lock. The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely Reproduction of the issue: The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80 threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far. Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well. Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing bit in my theory. Signed-off-by:

commit 371a0153 upstream. the eg20t driver call request_irq() function before the pch_base_address, base address of i2c controller's register, is assigned an effective value. there is one possible scenario that an interrupt which isn't inside eg20t arrives immediately after request_irq() is executed when i2c controller shares an interrupt number with others. since the interrupt handler pch_i2c_handler() has already active as shared action, it will be called and read its own register to determine if this interrupt is from itself. At that moment, since base address of i2c registers is not remapped in kernel space yet,so the INT handler will access an illegal address and then a error occurs. Signed-off-by:

In order to fix this issue, only call flexcan_chip_enable/disable() when the CAN interface is active. Based on a patch from Dong Aisheng in the NXP kernel. Signed-off-by:

commit 79ad07d4 upstream. There is a cut and paste issue here. The bug is that we are allocating more memory than necessary for msp_maps. We should be allocating enough space for a map_info struct (144 bytes) but we instead allocate enough for an mtd_info struct (1840 bytes). It's a small waste. The other part of this is not harmful but when we allocated msp_flash then we allocated enough space fro a map_info pointer instead of an mtd_info pointer. But since pointers are the same size it works out fine. Anyway, I decided to clean up all three allocations a bit to make them a bit more consistent and clear.

commit e23d4159 upstream. Switching iov_iter fault-in to multipages variants has exposed an old bug in underlying fault_in_multipages_...(); they break if the range passed to them wraps around. Normally access_ok() done by callers will prevent such (and it's a guaranteed EFAULT - ERR_PTR() values fall into such a range and they should not point to any valid objects). However, on architectures where userland and kernel live in different MMU contexts (e.g. s390) access_ok() is a no-op and on those a range with a wraparound can reach fault_in_multipages_...(). Since any wraparound means EFAULT there, the fix is trivial - turn those while (uaddr <= end) ... into if (unlikely(uaddr > end)) return -EFAULT; do ... while (uaddr <= end); Reported-by:

commit 377ccbb4 upstream. With the latest gcc compilers, they give a warning if __builtin_return_address() parameter is greater than 0. That is because if it is used by a function called by a top level function (or in the case of the kernel, by assembly), it can try to access stack frames outside the stack and crash the system. The tracing system uses __builtin_return_address() of up to 2! But it is well aware of the dangers that it may have, and has even added precautions to protect against it (see the thunk code in arch/x86/entry/thunk*.S) Linus originally added KBUILD_CFLAGS that would suppress the warning for the entire kernel, as simply adding KBUILD_CFLAGS to the tracing directory wouldn't work. The tracing directory plays a bit with the CFLAGS and requires a little more logic. This adds that special logic to only suppress the warning for the tracing directory. If it is used anywhere else outside of tracing, the warning will still be triggered. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160728223043.51996267@grimm.local.homeTested-by:

commit 124a3d88 upstream. Newer versions of gcc warn about the use of __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument when "-Wall" is specified: kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c: In function ‘stop_critical_timings’: kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:433:86: warning: calling ‘__builtin_return_address’ with a nonzero argument is unsafe [-Wframe-address] stop_critical_timing(CALLER_ADDR0, CALLER_ADDR1); [ .. repeats a few times for other similar cases .. ] It is true that a non-zero argument is somewhat dangerous, and we do not actually have very many uses of that in the kernel - but the ftrace code does use it, and as Stephen Rostedt says: "We are well aware of the danger of using __builtin_return_address() of > 0. In fact that's part of the reason for having the "thunk" code in x86 (See arch/x86/entry/thunk_{64,32}.S). [..] it adds extra frames when tracking irqs off sections, to prevent __builtin_return_address() from accessing bad areas. In fact the thunk_32.S states: 'Trampoline to trace irqs off. (otherwise CALLER_ADDR1 might crash)'." For now, __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument is the best we can do, and the warning is not helpful and can end up making people miss other warnings for real problems. So disable the frame-address warning on compilers that need it. Acked-by:

commit 6e8d666e upstream. Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because it generates a lot of false positives. But some had not, and it was still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example. Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough) that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized. The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning that causes more problems than the warning can solve. If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to re-enable this warning. But as is, we're better off without it, and I want to be able to see the *real* warnings. Signed-off-by:

commit e72e2dfe upstream. When gcov profiling is enabled, we see a lot of spurious warnings about possibly uninitialized variables being used: arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c: In function 'arm_coherent_iommu_map_page': arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c:1085:16: warning: 'start' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c: In function 'st_of_flexgen_setup': drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c:323:9: warning: 'num_parents' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] kernel/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_mount': kernel/cgroup.c:2119:11: warning: 'root' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] All of these are false positives, so it seems better to just disable the warnings whenever GCOV is enabled. Most users don't enable GCOV, and based on a prior patch, it is now also disabled for 'allmodconfig' builds, so there should be no downsides of doing this. Signed-off-by:

commit 815eb71e upstream.

Nobody normally wants to run a CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES kernel in production, so disabling the whole class of warnings for this configuration has no serious downsides either. Signed-off-by:

commit d21c353d upstream. If we punch a hole on a reflink such that following conditions are met: 1. start offset is on a cluster boundary 2. end offset is not on a cluster boundary 3. (end offset is somewhere in another extent) or (hole range > MAX_CONTIG_BYTES(1MB)), we dont COW the first cluster starting at the start offset. But in this case, we were wrongly passing this cluster to ocfs2_zero_range_for_truncate() to zero out. This will modify the cluster in place and zero it in the source too. Fix this by skipping this cluster in such a scenario. To reproduce: 1. Create a random file of say 10 MB xfs_io -c 'pwrite -b 4k 0 10M' -f 10MBfile 2. Reflink it reflink -f 10MBfile reflnktest 3. Punch a hole at starting at cluster boundary with range greater that 1MB. You can also use a range that will put the end offset in another extent. fallocate -p -o 0 -l 1048615 reflnktest 4. sync 5. Check the first cluster in the source file. (It will be zeroed out). dd if=10MBfile iflag=direct bs=<cluster size> count=1 | hexdump -C Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470957147-14185-1-git-send-email-ashish.samant@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

commit e6f0c6e6 upstream. Commit ac7cf246 ("ocfs2/dlm: fix race between convert and recovery") checks if lockres master has changed to identify whether new master has finished recovery or not. This will introduce a race that right after old master does umount ( means master will change), a new convert request comes. In this case, it will reset lockres state to DLM_RECOVERING and then retry convert, and then fail with lockres->l_action being set to OCFS2_AST_INVALID, which will cause inconsistent lock level between ocfs2 and dlm, and then finally BUG. Since dlm recovery will clear lock->convert_pending in dlm_move_lockres_to_recovery_list, we can use it to correctly identify the race case between convert and recovery. So fix it.

commit c87bf431 upstream. Enabling CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL produces us a lot of warnings like lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c: In function 'lz4_compresshcctx': lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c:514:1: warning: the frame size of 1504 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] After some investigation, I found that this behavior started with gcc-4.9, and opened https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69702. A suggested workaround for it is to use the -fno-tree-loop-im flag that turns off one of the optimization stages in gcc, so the code runs a little slower but does not use excessive amounts of stack. We could make this conditional on the gcc version, but I could not find an easy way to do this in Kbuild and the benefit would be fairly small, given that most of the gcc version in production are affected now. I'm marking this for 'stable' backports because it addresses a bug with code generation in gcc that exists in all kernel versions with the affected gcc releases. Signed-off-by:
