[ Upstream commit f37fabb8 ] In the critical sysfs entry the thermal hwmon was returning wrong temperature to the user-space. It was reporting the temperature of the first trip point instead of the temperature of critical trip point. For example: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_crit:50000 /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_temp:50000 /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_type:active /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_temp:120000 /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_type:critical Since commit e68b16ab ("thermal: add hwmon sysfs I/F") the driver have been registering a sysfs entry if get_crit_temp() callback was provided. However when accessed, it was calling get_trip_temp() instead of the get_crit_temp(). Fixes: e68b16ab ("thermal: add hwmon sysfs I/F") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit e8d7c332 ] Current implementation employ 16bit counter of active stripes in lower bits of bio->bi_phys_segments. If request is big enough to overflow this counter bio will be completed and freed too early. Fortunately this not happens in default configuration because several other limits prevent that: stripe_cache_size * nr_disks effectively limits count of active stripes. And small max_sectors_kb at lower disks prevent that during normal read/write operations. Overflow easily happens in discard if it's enabled by module parameter "devices_handle_discard_safely" and stripe_cache_size is set big enough. This patch limits requests size with 256Mb - 8Kb to prevent overflows. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 05e6ea26 ] The struct file_operations instance serving the f2fs/status debugfs file lacks an initialization of its ->owner. This means that although that file might have been opened, the f2fs module can still get removed. Any further operation on that opened file, releasing included, will cause accesses to unmapped memory. Indeed, Mike Marshall reported the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa0307430 IP: [<ffffffff8132a224>] full_proxy_release+0x24/0x90 <...> Call Trace: [] __fput+0xdf/0x1d0 [] ____fput+0xe/0x10 [] task_work_run+0x8e/0xc0 [] do_exit+0x2ae/0xae0 [] ? __audit_syscall_entry+0xae/0x100 [] ? syscall_trace_enter+0x1ca/0x310 [] do_group_exit+0x44/0xc0 [] SyS_exit_group+0x14/0x20 [] do_syscall_64+0x61/0x150 [] entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 <...> ---[ end trace f22ae883fa3ea6b8 ]--- Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

[ Upstream commit 0d808df0 ] When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress, we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state. Although XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER. This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER. To allow userspace to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG specifier. The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

[ Upstream commit 37be6676 ] USB-3 does not have any link state that will avoid negotiating a connection with a plugged-in cable but will signal the host when the cable is unplugged. For USB-3 we used to first set the link to Disabled, then to RxDdetect to be able to detect cable connects or disconnects. But in RxDetect the connected device is detected again and eventually enabled. Instead set the link into U3 and disable remote wakeups for the device.

[ Upstream commit d128af17 ] The AEAD givenc descriptor relies on moving the IV through the output FIFO and then back to the CTX2 for authentication. The SEQ FIFO STORE could be scheduled before the data can be read from OFIFO, especially since the SEQ FIFO LOAD needs to wait for the SEQ FIFO LOAD SKIP to finish first. The SKIP takes more time when the input is SG than when it's a contiguous buffer. If the SEQ FIFO LOAD is not scheduled before the STORE, the DECO will hang waiting for data to be available in the OFIFO so it can be transferred to C2. In order to overcome this, first force transfer of IV to C2 by starting the "cryptlen" transfer first and then starting to store data from OFIFO to the output buffer.

[ Upstream commit 6496ebd7 ] One some systems, the firmware does not allow certain PCI devices to be put in deep D-states. This can cause problems for wakeup signalling, if the device does not support PME# in the deepest allowed suspend state. For example, Pierre reports that on his system, ACPI does not permit his xHCI host controller to go into D3 during runtime suspend -- but D3 is the only state in which the controller can generate PME# signals. As a result, the controller goes into runtime suspend but never wakes up, so it doesn't work properly. USB devices plugged into the controller are never detected. If the device relies on PME# for wakeup signals but is not capable of generating PME# in the target state, the PCI core should accurately report that it cannot do wakeup from runtime suspend. This patch modifies the pci_dev_run_wake() routine to add this check. Reported-by:

As driver does not set convert flag to 1 and still making the OCR to run, VF(Virtual function) driver is directly writing on to the register instead of waiting for 30 seconds. Setting convert flag to 1 will cause VF driver will wait for 30 secs before going for reset. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 84ac7260 ] When packet_set_ring creates a ring buffer it will initialize a struct timer_list if the packet version is TPACKET_V3. This value can then be raced by a different thread calling setsockopt to set the version to TPACKET_V1 before packet_set_ring has finished. This leads to a use-after-free on a function pointer in the struct timer_list when the socket is closed as the previously initialized timer will not be deleted. The bug is fixed by taking lock_sock(sk) in packet_setsockopt when changing the packet version while also taking the lock at the start of packet_set_ring.

[ Upstream commit cc265089 ] NFSv2 can set the atime and/or mtime of a file to specific timestamps but not to the server's current time. To implement the equivalent of utimes("file", NULL), it uses a heuristic. NFSv3 and later do support setting the atime and/or mtime to the server's current time directly. The NFSv2 heuristic is still enabled, and causes timestamps to be set wrong sometimes. Fix this by moving the heuristic into the NFSv2 specific code. We can leave it out of the create code path: the owner can always set timestamps arbitrarily, and the workaround would never trigger. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit bb1fceca ] When tcp_sendmsg() allocates a fresh and empty skb, it puts it at the tail of the write queue using tcp_add_write_queue_tail() Then it attempts to copy user data into this fresh skb. If the copy fails, we undo the work and remove the fresh skb. Unfortunately, this undo lacks the change done to tp->highest_sack and we can leave a dangling pointer (to a freed skb) Later, tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() can dereference this pointer and access freed memory. For regular kernels where memory is not unmapped, this might cause SACK bugs because tcp_highest_sack_seq() is buggy, returning garbage instead of tp->snd_nxt, but with various debug features like CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, this can crash the kernel. This bug was found by Marco Grassi thanks to syzkaller. Fixes: 6859d494 ("[TCP]: Abstract tp->highest_sack accessing & point to next skb") Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit d248220f ] Since commit 6ce0d200 ("ARM: dma: Use dma_pfn_offset for dma address translation"), dma_to_pfn() already returns the PFN with the physical memory start offset so we don't need to add it again. This fixes USB mass storage lock-up problem on systems that can't do DMA over the entire physical memory range (e.g.) Keystone 2 systems with 4GB RAM can only do DMA over the first 2GB. [K2E-EVM]. What happens there is that without this patch SCSI layer sets a wrong bounce buffer limit in scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() for the USB mass storage device. dma_max_pfn() evaluates to 0x8fffff and bounce_limit is set to 0x8fffff000 whereas maximum DMA'ble physical memory on Keystone 2 is 0x87fffffff. This results in non DMA'ble pages being given to the USB controller and hence the lock-up. NOTE: in the above case, USB-SCSI-device's dma_pfn_offset was showing as 0. This should have really been 0x780000 as on K2e, LOWMEM_START is 0x80000000 and HIGHMEM_START is 0x800000000. DMA zone is 2GB so dma_max_pfn should be 0x87ffff. The incorrect dma_pfn_offset for the USB storage device is because USB devices are not correctly inheriting the dma_pfn_offset from the USB host controller. This will be fixed by a separate patch.

There is no way forward because the oom victim cannot release any memory in 4.1 based kernel. Since 4.6 we have the oom reaper which would solve this problem because it would release the memory asynchronously. Nevertheless we can relax alloc_rmap_item requirements and use __GFP_NORETRY because the allocation failure is acceptable as ksm_do_scan would just retry later after the lock got dropped. Such a patch would be also easy to backport to older stable kernels which do not have oom_reaper. While we are at it add GFP_NOWARN so the admin doesn't have to be alarmed by the allocation failure.

When this happens during system boot, there is a high probability of grabbing the pinctrl_list_mutex, which is locked already by the probe() of other device, making the kernel suspect a deadlock condition [1].

[ Upstream commit 28b89b9e ] A discrepancy between cpu_online_mask and cpuset's effective_cpus mask is inevitable during hotplug since cpuset defers updating of effective_cpus mask using a workqueue, during which time nothing prevents the system from more hotplug operations. For that reason guarantee_online_cpus() walks up the cpuset hierarchy until it finds an intersection under the assumption that top cpuset's effective_cpus mask intersects with cpu_online_mask even with such a race occurring. However a sequence of CPU hotplugs can open a time window, during which none of the effective CPUs in the top cpuset intersect with cpu_online_mask. For example when there are 4 possible CPUs 0-3 and only CPU0 is online: ======================== =========================== cpu_online_mask top_cpuset.effective_cpus ======================== =========================== echo 1 > cpu2/online. CPU hotplug notifier woke up hotplug work but not yet scheduled. [0,2] [0] echo 0 > cpu0/online. The workqueue is still runnable. [2] [0] ======================== =========================== Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and top_cpuset.effective_cpus. Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at this moment can cause following: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d0 ------------[ cut here ]------------ Kernel BUG at ffffffc0001389b0 [verbose debug info unavailable] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 96000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 1420 Comm: taskset Tainted: G W 4.4.8+ #98 task: ffffffc06a5c4880 ti: ffffffc06e124000 task.ti: ffffffc06e124000 PC is at guarantee_online_cpus+0x2c/0x58 LR is at cpuset_cpus_allowed+0x4c/0x6c <snip> Process taskset (pid: 1420, stack limit = 0xffffffc06e124020) Call trace: [<ffffffc0001389b0>] guarantee_online_cpus+0x2c/0x58 [<ffffffc00013b208>] cpuset_cpus_allowed+0x4c/0x6c [<ffffffc0000d61f0>] sched_setaffinity+0xc0/0x1ac [<ffffffc0000d6374>] SyS_sched_setaffinity+0x98/0xac [<ffffffc000085cb0>] el0_svc_naked+0x24/0x28 The top cpuset's effective_cpus are guaranteed to be identical to cpu_online_mask eventually. Hence fall back to cpu_online_mask when there is no intersection between top cpuset's effective_cpus and cpu_online_mask. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit f6d7c1b5 ] This fixes subpage writes when using 4-bit HW ECC. There has been numerous reports about ECC errors with devices using this driver for a while. Also the 4-bit ECC has been reported as broken with subpages in [1] and with 16 bits NANDs in the driver and in mach* board files both in mainline and in the vendor BSPs. What I saw with 4-bit ECC on a 16bits NAND (on an LCDK) which got me to try reinitializing the ECC engine: - R/W on whole pages properly generates/checks RS code - try writing the 1st subpage only of a blank page, the subpage is well written and the RS code properly generated, re-reading the same page the HW detects some ECC error, reading the same page again no ECC error is detected Note that the ECC engine is already reinitialized in the 1-bit case. Tested on my LCDK with UBI+UBIFS using subpages. This could potentially get rid of the issue workarounded in [1].

[ Upstream commit 4e486cba ] The "Miscellaneous Node" fell through cracks of node initialisation, as its ID is shared with HN-I. This patch treats MN as a special case (which it is), adding separate validation check for it and pre-defining the node ID in relevant events descriptions. That way one can simply run: # perf stat -a -e ccn/mn_ecbarrier/ <workload> Additionally, direction in the MN pseudo-events XP watchpoint definitions is corrected to be "TX" (1) as they are defined from the crosspoint point of view (thus barriers are transmitted from XP to MN).
