      random: make 'add_interrupt_randomness()' do something sane · 70696784
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      commit 775f4b29 upstream.

We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various
reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the
CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy
from a somewhat externally controllable source.

This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition
to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first.
During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu
pool.  Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is
initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool.  This
assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as
possible.

(Based on an original patch by Linus, but significantly modified by
tytso.)

      random: Adjust the number of loops when initializing · 5046e32b
      H. Peter Anvin authored 
      commit 2dac8e54 upstream.

When we are initializing using arch_get_random_long() we only need to
loop enough times to touch all the bytes in the buffer; using
poolwords for that does twice the number of operations necessary on a
64-bit machine, since in the random number generator code "word" means
32 bits.

      random: Use arch-specific RNG to initialize the entropy store · 1d1e71f1
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      commit 3e88bdff upstream.

If there is an architecture-specific random number generator (such as
RDRAND for Intel architectures), use it to initialize /dev/random's
entropy stores.  Even in the worst case, if RDRAND is something like
AES(NSA_KEY, counter++), it won't hurt, and it will definitely help
against any other adversaries.

      random: Use arch_get_random_int instead of cycle counter if avail · e50d73fc
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      commit cf833d0b upstream.

We still don't use rdrand in /dev/random, which just seems stupid. We
accept the *cycle*counter* as a random input, but we don't accept
rdrand? That's just broken.

Sure, people can do things in user space (write to /dev/random, use
rdrand in addition to /dev/random themselves etc etc), but that
*still* seems to be a particularly stupid reason for saying "we
shouldn't bother to try to do better in /dev/random".

And even if somebody really doesn't trust rdrand as a source of random
bytes, it seems singularly stupid to trust the cycle counter *more*.

So I'd suggest the attached patch. I'm not going to even bother
arguing that we should add more bits to the entropy estimate, because
that's not the point - I don't care if /dev/random fills up slowly or
not, I think it's just stupid to not use the bits we can get from
rdrand and mix them into the strong randomness pool.

      m68k: Correct the Atari ALLOWINT definition · 1f5d7d0b
      Mikael Pettersson authored 
      commit c6636005 upstream.

Booting a 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4-rc4 kernel on an Atari using the
`nfeth' ethernet device triggers a WARN_ONCE() in generic irq
handling code on the first irq for that device:

WARNING: at kernel/irq/handle.c:146 handle_irq_event_percpu+0x134/0x142()

After invoking the irq's handler the kernel sees !irqs_disabled()
and concludes that the handler erroneously enabled interrupts.

However, debugging shows that !irqs_disabled() is true even before
the handler is invoked, which indicates a problem in the platform
code rather than the specific driver.

The warning does not occur in 3.1 or older kernels.

It turns out that the ALLOWINT definition for Atari is incorrect.

The Atari definition of ALLOWINT is ~0x400, the stated purpose of
that is to avoid taking HSYNC interrupts.  irqs_disabled() returns
true if the 3-bit ipl & 4 is non-zero.  The nfeth interrupt runs at
ipl 3 (it's autovector 3), but 3 & 4 is zero so irqs_disabled() is
false, and the warning above is generated.

When interrupts are explicitly disabled, ipl is set to 7.  When they
are enabled, ipl is masked with ALLOWINT.  On Atari this will result
in ipl = 3, which blocks interrupts at ipl 3 and below.  So how come
nfeth interrupts at ipl 3 are received at all?  That's because ipl
is reset to 2 by Atari-specific code in default_idle(), again with
the stated purpose of blocking HSYNC interrupts.  This discrepancy
means that ipl 3 can remain blocked for longer than intended.

Both default_idle() and falcon_hblhandler() identify HSYNC with
ipl 2, and the "Atari ST/.../F030 Hardware Register Listing" agrees,
but ALLOWINT is defined as if HSYNC was ipl 3.

[As an experiment I modified default_idle() to reset ipl to 3, and
as expected that resulted in all nfeth interrupts being blocked.]

The fix is simple: define ALLOWINT as ~0x500 instead.  This makes
arch_local_irq_enable() consistent with default_idle(), and prevents
the !irqs_disabled() problems for ipl 3 interrupts.

Tested on Atari running in an Aranym VM.

      cfg80211: fix interface combinations check for ADHOC(IBSS) · f0618dab
      Liang Li authored 
      partial of commit 8e8b41f9 upstream.

As part of commit 463454b5 ("cfg80211: fix interface
combinations check"), this extra check was introduced:

       if ((all_iftypes & used_iftypes) != used_iftypes)
               goto cont;

However, most wireless NIC drivers did not advertise ADHOC in
wiphy.iface_combinations[i].limits[] and hence we'll get -EBUSY
when we bring up a ADHOC wlan with commands similar to:

 # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc && ifconfig wlan0 up

In commit 8e8b41f9 ("cfg80211: enforce lack of interface
combinations"), the change below fixes the issue:

       if (total == 1)
               return 0;

But it also introduces other dependencies for stable. For example,
a full cherry pick of 8e8b41f9 would introduce additional
regressions unless we also start cherry picking driver specific
fixes like the following:

  9b4760e3  ath5k: add possible wiphy interface combinations
  1ae2fc25  mac80211_hwsim: advertise interface combinations
  20c8e8dc  ath9k: add possible wiphy interface combinations

And the purpose of the 'if (total == 1)' is to cover the specific
use case (IBSS, adhoc) that was mentioned above. So we just pick
the specific part out from 8e8b41f9 here.

Doing so gives stable kernels a way to fix the change introduced
by 463454b5, without having to make cherry picks specific to
various NIC drivers.

      xen: mark local pages as FOREIGN in the m2p_override · a044f552
      Stefano Stabellini authored 
      commit b9e0d95c upstream.

When the frontend and the backend reside on the same domain, even if we
add pages to the m2p_override, these pages will never be returned by
mfn_to_pfn because the check "get_phys_to_machine(pfn) != mfn" will
always fail, so the pfn of the frontend will be returned instead
(resulting in a deadlock because the frontend pages are already locked).

 [<ffffffff81a18d69>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

The explanation is in the comment within the code:

We need to do this because the pages shared by the frontend
(xen-blkfront) can be already locked (lock_page, called by
do_read_cache_page); when the userspace backend tries to use them
with direct_IO, mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the frontend, so
do_blockdev_direct_IO is going to try to lock the same pages
again resulting in a deadlock.

A simplified call graph looks like this:

pygrub                          QEMU
-----------------------------------------------
do_read_cache_page              io_submit
  |                              |
lock_page                       ext3_direct_IO
                                 |
                                bio_add_page
                                 |
                                lock_page

Internally the xen-blkback uses m2p_add_override to swizzle (temporarily)
a 'struct page' to have a different MFN (so that it can point to another
guest). It also can easily find out whether another pfn corresponding
to the mfn exists in the m2p, and can set the FOREIGN bit
in the p2m, making sure that mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the backend.

This allows the backend to perform direct_IO on these pages, but as a
side effect prevents the frontend from using get_user_pages_fast on
them while they are being shared with the backend.

      floppy: Cleanup disk->queue before caling put_disk() if add_disk() was never called · e5dd68eb
      Vivek Goyal authored 
      commit 3f9a5aab upstream.

add_disk() takes gendisk reference on request queue. If driver failed during
initialization and never called add_disk() then that extra reference is not
taken. That reference is put in put_disk(). floppy driver allocates the
disk, allocates queue, sets disk->queue and then relizes that floppy
controller is not present. It tries to tear down everything and tries to
put a reference down in put_disk() which was never taken.

In such error cases cleanup disk->queue before calling put_disk() so that
we never try to put down a reference which was never taken in first place.

      sched: Fix race in task_group() · b75bfc42
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      commit 8323f26c upstream

Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d109 ("sched:
Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he
found the reason to be that the multiple task_group()
invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values.

Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain
wrong comments.

The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is
updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty,
but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup
stuff works.
