commit 20878232 upstream. Systems show a minimal load average of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 even when they have no load at all. Uptime and /proc/loadavg on all systems with kernels released during the last five years up until kernel version 4.6-rc5, show a 5- and 15-minute minimum loadavg of 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. This should be 0.00 on idle systems, but the way the kernel calculates this value prevents it from getting lower than the mentioned values. Likewise but not as obviously noticeable, a fully loaded system with no processes waiting, shows a maximum 1/5/15 loadavg of 1.00, 0.99, 0.95 (multiplied by number of cores). Once the (old) load becomes 93 or higher, it mathematically can never get lower than 93, even when the active (load) remains 0 forever. This results in the strange 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 uptime values on idle systems. Note: 93/2048 = 0.0454..., which rounds up to 0.05. It is not correct to add a 0.5 rounding (=1024/2048) here, since the result from this function is fed back into the next iteration again, so the result of that +0.5 rounding value then gets multiplied by (2048-2037), and then rounded again, so there is a virtual "ghost" load created, next to the old and active load terms. By changing the way the internally kept value is rounded, that internal value equivalent now can reach 0.00 on idle, and 1.00 on full load. Upon increasing load, the internally kept load value is rounded up, when the load is decreasing, the load value is rounded down. The modified code was tested on nohz=off and nohz kernels. It was tested on vanilla kernel 4.6-rc5 and on centos 7.1 kernel 3.10.0-327. It was tested on single, dual, and octal cores system. It was tested on virtual hosts and bare hardware. No unwanted effects have been observed, and the problems that the patch intended to fix were indeed gone. Tested-by:

commit b5a7aef1 upstream. This patch allows fscrypto to handle a second key prefix given by filesystem. The main reason is to provide backward compatibility, since previously f2fs used "f2fs:" as a crypto prefix instead of "fscrypt:". Later, ext4 should also provide key_prefix() to give "ext4:". One concern decribed by Ted would be kinda double check overhead of prefixes. In x86, for example, validate_user_key consumes 8 ms after boot-up, which turns out derive_key_aes() consumed most of the time to load specific crypto module. After such the cold miss, it shows almost zero latencies, which treats as a negligible overhead. Note that request_key() detects wrong prefix in prior to derive_key_aes() even.

commit 4a6b27b7 upstream. Megha Dey reported a kernel panic in crypto code. The problem is that sha1_x8_avx2() clobbers registers r12-r15 without saving and restoring them. Before commit aec4d0e3 ("x86/asm/crypto: Simplify stack usage in sha-mb functions"), those registers were saved and restored by the callers of the function. I removed them with that commit because I didn't realize sha1_x8_avx2() clobbered them. Fix the potential undefined behavior associated with clobbering the registers and make the behavior less surprising by changing the registers to be callee saved/restored to conform with the C function call ABI. Also, rdx (aka RSP_SAVE) doesn't need to be saved: I verified that none of the callers rely on it being saved, and it's not a callee-saved register in the C ABI.

commit e930c765 upstream. caam_jr_alloc() used to return NULL if a JR device could not be allocated for a session. In turn, every user of this function used IS_ERR() function to verify if anything went wrong, which does NOT look for NULL values. This made the kernel crash if the sanity check failed, because the driver continued to think it had allocated a valid JR dev instance to the session and at some point it tries to do a caam_jr_free() on a NULL JR dev pointer. This patch is a fix for this issue. Signed-off-by:

commit 59643d15 upstream. If the size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is greater than MAX_LONG - BUF_PAGE_SIZE then the DIV_ROUND_UP() will return zero. Here's the details: # echo 18014398509481980 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb tracing_entries_write() processes this and converts kb to bytes. 18014398509481980 << 10 = 18446744073709547520 and this is passed to ring_buffer_resize() as unsigned long size. size = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE); Where DIV_ROUND_UP(a, b) is (a + b - 1)/b BUF_PAGE_SIZE is 4080 and here 18446744073709547520 + 4080 - 1 = 18446744073709551599 where 18446744073709551599 is still smaller than 2^64 2^64 - 18446744073709551599 = 17 But now 18446744073709551599 / 4080 = 4521260802379792 and size = size * 4080 = 18446744073709551360 This is checked to make sure its still greater than 2 * 4080, which it is. Then we convert to the number of buffer pages needed. nr_page = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE) but this time size is 18446744073709551360 and 2^64 - (18446744073709551360 + 4080 - 1) = -3823 Thus it overflows and the resulting number is less than 4080, which makes 3823 / 4080 = 0 an nr_pages is set to this. As we already checked against the minimum that nr_pages may be, this causes the logic to fail as well, and we crash the kernel. There's no reason to have the two DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's just result of historical code changes), clean up the code and fix this bug.

commit 9b94a8fb upstream. The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

commit cd9e2e5d upstream. In testing with HiKey, we found that since commit 3f30b158 ("asix: On RX avoid creating bad Ethernet frames"), we're seeing lots of noise during network transfers: [ 239.027993] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988 [ 239.037310] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x54ebb5ec, offset 4 [ 239.045519] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0xcdffe7a2, offset 4 [ 239.275044] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988 [ 239.284355] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x1d36f59d, offset 4 [ 239.292541] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0xaef3c1e9, offset 4 [ 239.518996] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988 [ 239.528300] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x2881912, offset 4 [ 239.536413] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x5638f7e2, offset 4 And network throughput ends up being pretty bursty and slow with a overall throughput of at best ~30kB/s (where as previously we got 1.1MB/s with the slower USB1.1 "full speed" host). We found the issue also was reproducible on a x86_64 system, using a "high-speed" USB2.0 port but the throughput did not measurably drop (possibly due to the scp transfer being cpu bound on my slow test hardware). After lots of debugging, I found the check added in the problematic commit seems to be calculating the offset incorrectly. In the normal case, in the main loop of the function, we do: (where offset is zero, or set to "offset += (copy_length + 1) & 0xfffe" in the previous loop) rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data + offset); offset += sizeof(u32); But the problematic patch calculates: offset = ((rx->remaining + 1) & 0xfffe) + sizeof(u32); rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data + offset); Adding some debug logic to check those offset calculation used to find rx->header, the one in problematic code is always too large by sizeof(u32). Thus, this patch removes the incorrect " + sizeof(u32)" addition in the problematic calculation, and resolves the issue. Cc: Dean Jenkins <Dean_Jenkins@mentor.com> Cc: "David B.

commit 897fba11 upstream. Wrong return code was being returned on SMB3 rmdir of non-empty directory. For SMB3 (unlike for cifs), we attempt to delete a directory by set of delete on close flag on the open. Windows clients set this flag via a set info (SET_FILE_DISPOSITION to set this flag) which properly checks if the directory is empty. With this patch on smb3 mounts we correctly return "DIRECTORY NOT EMPTY" on attempts to remove a non-empty directory. Signed-off-by:

commit d4b9e079 upstream. The ARM architecture mandates that when changing a page table entry from a valid entry to another valid entry, an invalid entry is first written, TLB invalidated, and only then the new entry being written. The current code doesn't respect this, directly writing the new entry and only then invalidating TLBs. Let's fix it up. Reported-by:

commit f228b494 upstream. The loop that browses the array compat_hwcap_str will stop when a NULL is encountered, however NULL is missing at the end of array. This will lead to overrun until a NULL is found somewhere in the following memory. In reality, this works out because the compat_hwcap2_str array tends to follow immediately in memory, and that *is* terminated correctly. Furthermore, the unsigned int compat_elf_hwcap is checked before printing each capability, so we end up doing the right thing because the size of the two arrays is less than 32. Still, this is an obvious mistake and should be fixed. Note for backporting: commit 12d11817 ("arm64: Move /proc/cpuinfo handling code") moved this code in v4.4. Prior to that commit, the same change should be made in arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c. Fixes: 44b82b77 "arm64: Fix up /proc/cpuinfo" Signed-off-by:

commit 66dbd6e6 upstream. When hardware updates of the access and dirty states are enabled, the default ptep_set_access_flags() implementation based on calling set_pte_at() directly is potentially racy. This triggers the "racy dirty state clearing" warning in set_pte_at() because an existing writable PTE is overridden with a clean entry. There are two main scenarios for this situation: 1. The CPU getting an access fault does not support hardware updates of the access/dirty flags. However, a different agent in the system (e.g. SMMU) can do this, therefore overriding a writable entry with a clean one could potentially lose the automatically updated dirty status 2. A more complex situation is possible when all CPUs support hardware AF/DBM: a) Initial state: shareable + writable vma and pte_none(pte) b) Read fault taken by two threads of the same process on different CPUs c) CPU0 takes the mmap_sem and proceeds to handling the fault. It eventually reaches do_set_pte() which sets a writable + clean pte. CPU0 releases the mmap_sem d) CPU1 acquires the mmap_sem and proceeds to handle_pte_fault(). The pte entry it reads is present, writable and clean and it continues to pte_mkyoung() e) CPU1 calls ptep_set_access_flags() If between (d) and (e) the hardware (another CPU) updates the dirty state (clears PTE_RDONLY), CPU1 will override the PTR_RDONLY bit marking the entry clean again. This patch implements an arm64-specific ptep_set_access_flags() function to perform an atomic update of the PTE flags.

commit 5bb1cc0f upstream. Currently, pmd_present() only checks for a non-zero value, returning true even after pmd_mknotpresent() (which only clears the type bits). This patch converts pmd_present() to using pte_present(), similar to the other pmd_*() checks. As a side effect, it will return true for PROT_NONE mappings, though they are not yet used by the kernel with transparent huge pages. For consistency, also change pmd_mknotpresent() to only clear the PMD_SECT_VALID bit, even though the PMD_TABLE_BIT is already 0 for block mappings (no functional change). The unused PMD_SECT_PROT_NONE definition is removed as transparent huge pages use the pte page prot values. Fixes: 9c7e535f ("arm64: mm: Route pmd thp functions through pte equivalents") Reviewed-by:

Currently, when creating or updating a route, no check is performed in both ipv4 and ipv6 code to the hoplimit value. The caller can i.e. set hoplimit to 256, and when such route will be used, packets will be sent with hoplimit/ttl equal to 0. This commit adds checks for the RTAX_HOPLIMIT value, in both ipv4 ipv6 route code, substituting any value greater than 255 with 255. This is consistent with what is currently done for ADVMSS and MTU in the ipv4 code. Signed-off-by:

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "During v4.6-rc1 cgroup namespace support was merged. There is an issue where it's impossible to tell whether a given cgroup mount point is bind mounted or namespaced. Serge has been working on the issue but it took longer than expected to resolve, so the late pull request. Given that it's a completely new feature and the patches don't touch anything else, the risk seems acceptable. However, if this is too late, an alternative is plugging new cgroup ns creation for v4.6 and retrying for v4.7" * 'for-4.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: fix compile warning kernfs: kernfs_sop_show_path: don't return 0 after seq_dentry call cgroup, kernfs: make mountinfo show properly scoped path for cgroup namespaces kernfs_path_from_node_locked: don't overwrite nlen

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "CPU hotplug callbacks can invoke DOWN_FAILED w/o preceding DOWN_PREPARE which can trigger a WARN_ON() in workqueue. The bug has been there for a very long time. It only triggers if CPU down fails at a specific point and I don't think it has adverse effects other than the warning messages. The fix is very low impact" * 'for-4.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: fix rebind bound workers warning
