commit f15b9000 upstream. UML uses the _PAGE_NEWPAGE flag to mark pages which are not jet installed on the host side using mmap(). pte_same() has to ignore this flag, otherwise unuse_pte_range() is unable to unuse the page because two identical page tables entries with different _PAGE_NEWPAGE flags would not match and swapoff() would never return.

commit 2b76ebaa upstream. The current __swp_type() function uses a too small bitshift. Using more than one swap files causes bad pages because the type bits clash with other page flags.

commit 44d27f7d upstream. On big-endian systems (e.g., Apple PowerBook), trying to use a logitech wireless mouse with the Logitech Unifying Receiver does not work with v3.2 and later kernels. The device doesn't show up in /dev/input. Older kernels work fine. That is because the new hid-logitech-dj driver claims the device. The device arrival notification appears: 20 00 41 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 and we read the report_types bitfield (02 00 00 00) to find out what kind of device it is. Unfortunately the driver only reads the first 8 bits and treats that value as a 32-bit little-endian number, so on a powerpc the report type seems to be 0x02000000 and is not recognized. Even on little-endian machines, connecting a media center remote control (report type 00 01 00 00) with this driver loaded would presumably fail for the same reason. Fix both problems by using get_unaligned_le32() to read all four bytes, which is a little clearer anyway. After this change, the wireless mouse works on Hugo's PowerBook again. Based on a patch by Nestor Lopez Casado.

commit 8815bb09 upstream. On some HCDs usb_unlink_urb() can directly call the completion handler. That limits the spinlocks that can be taken in the handler to locks not held while calling usb_unlink_urb() To prevent a race with resubmission, this patch exposes usbcore's infrastructure for blocking submission, uses it and so drops the lock without causing a race in usbhid.

commit 74b89e8a upstream. We incorrectly parse incoming IR data. The extra byte contains the upper bits and not the lower bits of the x/y coordinates. User-space expects absolute position data from us so this patch does not break existing applications. On the contrary, it extends the virtual view and fixes garbage reports for margin areas of the virtual screen.

commit 45de6767 upstream. Use the 32-bit compat keyctl() syscall wrapper on Sparc64 for Sparc32 binary compatibility. Without this, keyctl(KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV) is liable to malfunction as it uses an iovec array read from userspace - though the kernel should survive this as it checks pointers and sizes anyway. I think all the other keyctl() function should just work, provided (a) the top 32-bits of each 64-bit argument register are cleared prior to invoking the syscall routine, and the 32-bit address space is right at the 0-end of the 64-bit address space. Most of the arguments are 32-bit anyway, and so for those clearing is not required. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com cc: "David S.

commit 9cd75e13 upstream. commit 771dae81 (powerpc/cpuidle: Add cpu_idle_wait() to allow switching of idle routines) implemented cpu_idle_wait() for powerpc. The changelog says: "The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c but the powerpc implementation is different.": Unfortunately the changelog is completely useless as it does not tell _WHY_ it is different. Aside of being different the implementation is patently wrong. The rescheduling IPI is async. That means that there is no guarantee, that the other cores have executed the IPI when cpu_idle_wait() returns. But that's the whole purpose of this function: to guarantee that no CPU uses the old idle handler anymore. Use the smp_functional_call() based implementation, which fulfils the requirements.

commit e42fafc2 upstream. The ioc->pfacts member in the IOC structure is getting set to zero following a call to _base_get_ioc_facts due to the memset in that routine. So if the ioc->pfacts was read after a host reset, there would be a NULL pointer dereference. The routine _base_get_ioc_facts is called from context of host reset. The problem in _base_get_ioc_facts is the size of Mpi2IOCFactsReply is 64, whereas the sizeof "struct mpt2sas_facts" is 60, so there is a four byte overflow resulting from the memset. Also, there is memset in _base_get_port_facts using the incorrect structure, it should be "struct mpt2sas_port_facts" instead of Mpi2PortFactsReply.

commit d5e50a51 upstream. When setting the current task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE this can race with a different cpu. The other cpu could set the task state after it inspected it (while it was still TASK_RUNNING) to TASK_RUNNING which would change the state from TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to TASK_RUNNING again. This race was always present in the pfault interrupt code but didn't cause anything harmful before commit f2db2e6c "[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts" which relied on the fact that after setting the task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE the task would really sleep. Since this is not necessarily the case the result may be a list corruption of the pfault_list or, as observed, a use-after-free bug while trying to access the task_struct of a task which terminated itself already. To fix this, we need to get a reference of the affected task when receiving the initial pfault interrupt and add special handling if we receive yet another initial pfault interrupt when the task is already enqueued in the pfault list.

commit 31a67102 upstream. During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up, we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious) configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in scheduling events. We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody. And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason: it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow blocking allocations much too early. So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()' (which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'. kernel_init() is run in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what will be the first idle thread. So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle thread into the init thread.

commit 80007efe upstream. It has happened twice now where elaborate troubleshooting has undergone on systems where CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB [0] has been set but yet net/wireless/db.txt was not updated. Despite the documentation on this it seems system integrators could use some more help with this, so throw out a kernel warning at boot time when their database is empty. This does mean that the error-prone system integrator won't likely realize the issue until they boot the machine but -- it does not seem to make sense to enable a build bug breaking random build testing.

commit a70b52ec upstream. We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example) mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc. Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that rw_verify_area() also does) directly. This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can actually remove lines of code.

Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin. GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative, and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this purpose. See for example http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052 We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly not some rare unusual case.

Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val). The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850 ("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration"). Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the precharge was estimated). Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings seen in 26 hours.

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

-
Mike Snitzer authored
When the thin pool target clears the discard_passdown parameter internally, it incorrectly changes the table line reported to userspace. This breaks dumb string comparisons on these table lines in generic userspace device-mapper library code and leads to tables being reloaded repeatedly when nothing is actually meant to be changing. This patch corrects this by no longer changing the table line when discard passdown was disabled. We can still tell when discard passdown is overridden by looking for the message "Discard unsupported by data device (sdX): Disabling discard passdown." This automatic detection is also moved from the 'load' to the 'resume' so that it is re-evaluated should the properties of underlying devices change.
