Document what's going on in asm/backoff.h with a large and descriptive comment. Refer to it above the cpu_relax() definition in asm/processor_64.h Rename the pause patching section to have "3insn" in it's name like the other patching sections do. Based upon feedback from Sam Ravnborg. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In atomic backoff and cpu_relax(), use the pause instruction found on SPARC-T4 and later. It makes the cpu strand unselectable for the given number of cycles, unless an intervening disrupting trap occurs. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David S. Miller authored
For atomic backoff, we just loop over an exponentially backed off counter. This is extremely ineffective as it doesn't actually yield the cpu strand so that other competing strands can use the cpu core. In cpus previous to SPARC-T4 we have to do this in a slightly hackish way, by doing an operation with no side effects that also happens to mark the strand as unavailable. The mechanism we choose for this is three reads of the %ccr (condition-code) register into %g0 (the zero register). SPARC-T4 has an explicit "pause" instruction, and we'll make use of that in a subsequent commit. Yield strands also in cpu_relax(). We really should have done this a very long time ago.

The Montgomery Multiply, Montgomery Square, and Multiple-Precision Multiply instructions work by loading a combination of the floating point and multiple register windows worth of integer registers with the inputs. These values are 64-bit. But for 32-bit userland processes we only save the low 32-bits of each integer register during a register spill. This is because the register window save area is in the user stack and has a fixed layout. Therefore, the only way to use these instruction in 32-bit mode is to perform the following sequence: 1) Load the top-32bits of a choosen integer register with a sentinel, say "-1". This will be in the outer-most register window. The idea is that we're trying to see if the outer-most register window gets spilled, and thus the 64-bit values were truncated. 2) Load all the inputs for the montmul/montsqr/mpmul instruction, down to the inner-most register window. 3) Execute the opcode. 4) Traverse back up to the outer-most register window. 5) Check the sentinel, if it's still "-1" store the results. Otherwise retry the entire sequence. This retry is extremely troublesome. If you're just unlucky and an interrupt or other trap happens, it'll push that outer-most window to the stack and clear the sentinel when we restore it. We could retry forever and never make forward progress if interrupts arrive at a fast enough rate (consider perf events as one example). So we have do limited retries and fallback to software which is extremely non-deterministic. Luckily it's very straightforward to provide a mechanism to let 32-bit applications use a 64-bit stack. Stacks in 64-bit mode are biased by 2047 bytes, which means that the lowest bit is set in the actual %sp register value. So if we see bit zero set in a 32-bit application's stack we treat it like a 64-bit stack. Runtime detection of such a facility is tricky, and cumbersome at best. For example, just trying to use a biased stack and seeing if it works is hard to recover from (the signal handler will need to use an alt stack, plus something along the lines of longjmp). Therefore, we add a system call to report a bitmask of arch specific features like this in a cheap and less hairy way. With help from Andy Polyakov. Signed-off-by: David S.

Linus Torvalds authored
In commit 800179c9 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior. However, it does turn out to break some applications. It's rare, and it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so we'll have to default to legacy behavior. In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see http://www.dwd.de/AFD/ along with some legacy scripts. Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl setting. Do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks to re-enable the link protections. Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural options automatically.

Like our other pen-and-touch products, the Cintiq 24HD touch needs data to be shared between its two sensors to facilitate proximity-based palm rejection. Unlike other tablets that report sensor data through separate interfaces of the same USB device, the Cintiq 24HD touch has separate USB devices that are connected to an internal USB hub. This patch makes it possible to designate the USB VID/PID of the other device so that the two may share data. To ensure we don't accidentally link to a sensor from a physically separate device (if several have been plugged in), we limit the search to siblings (i.e., devices directly connected to the same hub).

If one includes documentation for an external tool, it should be correct. This is not: 1. Overriding the input to rngd should typically be neither necessary nor desired. This is especially so since newer versions of rngd support a number of different *types* of sources. 2. The default kernel-exported device is called /dev/hwrng not /dev/hwrandom nor /dev/hw_random (both of which were used in the past; however, kernel and udev seem to have converged on /dev/hwrng.) Overall it is better if the documentation for rngd is kept with rngd rather than in a kernel Makefile. Signed-off-by: H.

In the extremely unlikely case of an attacker having control over the environment variables visible to gen_init_cpio, control over the contents of the file gen_init_cpio parses, and gen_init_cpio was built without compiler hardening, the attacker can gain arbitrary execution control via a stack buffer overflow. $ cat usr/crash.list file foo ${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG} 0755 0 0 $ BIG=$(perl -e 'print "A" x 4096;') ./usr/gen_init_cpio usr/crash.list *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./usr/gen_init_cpio terminated This also replaces the space-indenting with tabs.

Commit 957f822a ("mm, numa: reclaim from all nodes within reclaim distance") caused zone_reclaim_mode to be set for all systems where two nodes are within RECLAIM_DISTANCE of each other. This is the opposite of what we actually want: zone_reclaim_mode should be set if two nodes are sufficiently distant.

'struct pid' is a "variable sized struct" - a header with an array of upids at the end. The size of the array depends on a level (depth) of pid namespaces. Now a level of pidns is not limited, so 'struct pid' can be more than one page. Looks reasonable, that it should be less than a page. MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL is not calculated from PAGE_SIZE, because in this case it depends on architectures, config options and it will be reduced, if someone adds a new fields in struct pid or struct upid. I suggest to set MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL = 32, because it saves ability to expand "struct pid" and it's more than enough for all known for me use-cases. When someone finds a reasonable use case, we can add a config option or a sysctl parameter. In addition it will reduce the effect of another problem, when we have many nested namespaces and the oldest one starts dying. zap_pid_ns_processe will be called for each namespace and find_vpid will be called for each process in a namespace. find_vpid will be called minimum max_level^2 / 2 times. The reason of that is that when we found a bit in pidmap, we can't determine this pidns is top for this process or it isn't. vpid is a heavy operation, so a fork bomb, which create many nested namespace, can make a system inaccessible for a long time. For example my system becomes inaccessible for a few minutes with 4000 processes.

The dw_dmac driver was originally developed for avr32 to be used with the Synopsys DesignWare AHB DMA controller. Starting from 2.6.38, access to the device's i/o memory was done with the little-endian readl/writel functions(1) This broke the driver for the avr32 platform, because it needs big (native) endian accessors. This patch makes the endianness configurable using 'DW_DMAC_BIG_ENDIAN_IO', which will default be true for AVR32 I submitted this patch before(2) but then waited for Andy to finish other changes to the same module(3).

While allocating mmu_notifier with parameter GFP_KERNEL, swap would start to work in case of tight available memory.

The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in the bitmap. That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits (LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then. The same works for the lookup functions. The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap. However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for example, could be allocated for 70 bits. This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines. This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to set or check for a bit. This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits. What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of bytes. Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO. So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when rmmod'ed.
