commit b6b67df3 upstream. This driver uses information from the self member of the pci_bus struct to get information regarding the bridge to which the PCIe device is attached. Unfortunately, this member is not established on all architectures, which leads to a kernel oops. Skipping the entire block that uses the self member to determine the bridge vendor will only affect RTL8192DE devices as that driver sets the ASPM support flag differently when the bridge vendor is Intel. If the self member is available, there is no functional change. This patch fixes Bugzilla No. 40212. Reported-by:

commit 9ea71503 upstream. commit 7485d0d3 (futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key. IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A. Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do something like this get what they deserve. While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a userspace hang. This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access. Reported-by:

commit bb91bc7b upstream. For normal kernel pages, CPU cache is synchronized by the dma layer. However, this is not done for pages allocated with vmalloc. If we do I/O to/from vmallocated pages, we must synchronize CPU cache explicitly. Prior to doing I/O on vmallocated page we must call flush_kernel_vmap_range to flush dirty cache on the virtual address. After finished read we must call invalidate_kernel_vmap_range to invalidate cache on the virtual address, so that accesses to the virtual address return newly read data and not stale data from CPU cache. This patch fixes metadata corruption on dm-snapshots on PA-RISC and possibly other architectures with caches indexed by virtual address. Signed-off-by:

commit c027a474 upstream. exit_mm() sets ->mm == NULL then it does mmput()->exit_mmap() which frees the memory. However select_bad_process() checks ->mm != NULL before TIF_MEMDIE, so it continues to kill other tasks even if we have the oom-killed task freeing its memory. Change select_bad_process() to check ->mm after TIF_MEMDIE, but skip the tasks which have already passed exit_notify() to ensure a zombie with TIF_MEMDIE set can't block oom-killer. Alternatively we could probably clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mmap(). Signed-off-by:

commit 25e75dff upstream. AppArmor is masking the capabilities returned by capget against the capabilities mask in the profile. This is wrong, in complain mode the profile has effectively all capabilities, as the profile restrictions are not being enforced, merely tested against to determine if an access is known by the profile. This can result in the wrong behavior of security conscience applications like sshd which examine their capability set, and change their behavior accordingly. In this case because of the masked capability set being returned sshd fails due to DAC checks, even when the profile is in complain mode. Kernels affected: 2.6.36 - 3.0. Signed-off-by:

commit d694ad62 upstream. If a semaphore array is removed and in parallel a sleeping task is woken up (signal or timeout, does not matter), then the woken up task does not wait until wake_up_sem_queue_do() is completed. This will cause crashes, because wake_up_sem_queue_do() will read from a stale pointer. The fix is simple: Regardless of anything, always call get_queue_result(). This function waits until wake_up_sem_queue_do() has finished it's task. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27142Reported-by:

commit 8c2381af upstream. Currently, the hvc_console_print() function drops console output if the hvc backend's put_chars() returns 0. This patch changes this behavior to allow a retry through returning -EAGAIN. This change also affects the hvc_push() function. Both functions are changed to handle -EAGAIN and to retry the put_chars() operation. If a hvc backend returns -EAGAIN, the retry handling differs: - hvc_console_print() spins to write the complete console output. - hvc_push() behaves the same way as for returning 0. Now hvc backends can indirectly control the way how console output is handled through the hvc console layer. Signed-off-by:

commit 5568181f upstream. Commit 4539c24f "tty/serial: Add explicit PORT_TEGRA type" introduced separate flags describing the need for IER bits UUE and RTOIE. Both bits are required for the XSCALE port type. While that patch updated uart_config[] as required, the auto-probing code wasn't updated to set the RTOIE flag when an XSCALE port type was detected. This caused such ports to stop working. This patch rectifies that. Reported-by:

commit 108b6a78 upstream. Commit 22a668d7 ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true when mem_limit == memsw_limit. The flag is checked at the beginning of reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is meaningless in this case. This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit, which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit because swap doesn't used. This patch fixes this behavior by: - check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim - If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true. Signed-off-by:

commit e04f5f7e upstream. This patch (as1480) fixes a rather obscure bug in ehci-hcd. The qh_update() routine needs to know the number and direction of the endpoint corresponding to its QH argument. The number can be taken directly from the QH data structure, but the direction isn't stored there. The direction is taken instead from the first qTD linked to the QH. However, it turns out that for interrupt transfers, qh_update() gets called before the qTDs are linked to the QH. As a result, qh_update() computes a bogus direction value, which messes up the endpoint toggle handling. Under the right combination of circumstances this causes usb_reset_endpoint() not to work correctly, which causes packets to be dropped and communications to fail. Now, it's silly for the QH structure not to have direct access to all the descriptor information for the corresponding endpoint. Ultimately it may get a pointer to the usb_host_endpoint structure; for now, adding a copy of the direction flag solves the immediate problem. This allows the Spyder2 color-calibration system (a low-speed USB device that sends all its interrupt data packets with the toggle set to 0 and hance requires constant use of usb_reset_endpoint) to work when connected through a high-speed hub. Thanks to Graeme Gill for supplying the hardware that allowed me to track down this bug. Signed-off-by:

commit 81463c1d upstream. MAX4967 USB power supply chip we use on our boards signals over-current when power is not enabled; once it's enabled, over-current signal returns to normal. That unfortunately caused the endless stream of "over-current change on port" messages. The EHCI root hub code reacts on every over-current signal change with powering off the port -- such change event is generated the moment the port power is enabled, so once enabled the power is immediately cut off. I think we should only cut off power when we're seeing the active over-current signal, so I'm adding such check to that code. I also think that the fact that we've cut off the port power should be reflected in the result of GetPortStatus request immediately, hence I'm adding a PORTSCn register readback after write...

commit 293eb1e7 upstream. If an inode's mode permits opening /proc/PID/io and the resulting file descriptor is kept across execve() of a setuid or similar binary, the ptrace_may_access() check tries to prevent using this fd against the task with escalated privileges. Unfortunately, there is a race in the check against execve(). If execve() is processed after the ptrace check, but before the actual io information gathering, io statistics will be gathered from the privileged process. At least in theory this might lead to gathering sensible information (like ssh/ftp password length) that wouldn't be available otherwise. Holding task->signal->cred_guard_mutex while gathering the io information should protect against the race. The order of locking is similar to the one inside of ptrace_attach(): first goes cred_guard_mutex, then lock_task_sighand(). Signed-off-by:

commit 0c030806 upstream. If the directory contents change, then we have to accept that the file->f_pos value may shrink if we do a 'search-by-cookie'. In that case, we should turn off the loop detection and let the NFS client try to recover. The patch also fixes a second loop detection bug by ensuring that after turning on the ctx->duped flag, we read at least one new cookie into ctx->dir_cookie before attempting to match with ctx->dup_cookie.
