Ever for 32-bit with sufficiently high NR_CPUS, and starting
with commit 789d03f584484af85dbdc64935270c8e45f36ef7 also for
64-bit, the statically allocated early fixmap page tables were
not covering FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, leading to a boot time crash
when "ohci1394_dma=early" was used. Despite this entry not being
a permanently used one, it needs to be moved into the permanent
range since it has to be close to FIX_DBGP_BASE and
FIX_EARLYCON_MEM_BASE.
This patch (as1352) fixes a bug in the way isochronous input data is

commit 71fe804b6d5 (mempolicy: use struct mempolicy pointer in
shmem_sb_info) added mpol=local mount option. but its feature is broken
since it was born. because such code always return 1 (i.e. mount
failure).
Fix an 'oops' when a tmpfs mount point is mounted with the mpol=default
mempolicy.
Upon remounting a tmpfs mount point with 'mpol=default' option, the mount
code crashed with a null pointer dereference. The initial problem report
was on 2.6.27, but the problem exists in mainline 2.6.34-rc as well. On
examining the code, we see that mpol_new returns NULL if default mempolicy
was requested. This 'NULL' mempolicy is accessed to store the node mask
resulting in oops.
this patch fixes a memory leak which occurs when an em28xx card with DVB
extension is unplugged or its DVB extension driver is unloaded. In
dvb_fini(), dev->dvb must be freed before being set to NULL, as is done
in dvb_init() in case of error.
Note that this bug is also present in the latest stable kernel release.
Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of
pipes.
This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the
uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing
process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different
ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they
shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core
dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe
when it is created.
The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for
pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open
anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero
Reverts a pipe-affecting change which was accidentally made in
Commit 221af7f87b9 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split
the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no
more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint,
but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting
going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a
bit more careful.
In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old
personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup'
stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state
that we're just setting up.
So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()',
which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state
etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect
any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment.
This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu

'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.
Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.
This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers
as follows:
I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little
different than the standard. This type of expansion board is very common.
"Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together
with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device.
The NetMos device does it slightly different
I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register. The problem
is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one
does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information.
My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does
not affect the already correct devices.

Commit c7ab5ef9bcd281135c21b4732c9be779585181be entitled "b43: implement
short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for
my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling
portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling.
Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never
called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the
value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain
the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value
of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value
in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased
performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic
improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s.
Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the
MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating
in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

On my AMD780V chipset, hda_intel.c can crash the kernel with a divide by
zero
for as-yet unknown reasons. A simple check for zero prevents it, though
the problem that causes it remains. Since the workaround is harmless and
won't affect anyone except victims of this bug, it should be safe;
moreover,
because this crash can be triggered by a user-mode application, there are
denial of service implications on the systems affected by the bug without
the patch.
Almost all r128's private ioctls require that the CCE state has
already been initialised. However, most do not test that this has
been done, and will proceed to dereference a null pointer. This may
result in a security vulnerability, since some ioctls are
unprivileged.
This adds a macro for the common initialisation test and changes all
ioctl implementations that require prior initialisation to use that
macro.
Also, r128_do_init_cce() does not test that the CCE state has not
been initialised already. Repeated initialisation may lead to a crash
or resource leak. This adds that test.

USB: usbfs: properly clean up the as structure on error paths
I notice that the processcompl_compat() function seems to be leaking the
'struct async *as' in the error paths.
I think that the calling convention is fundamentally buggered. The
caller is the one that did the "reap_as()" to get the as thing, the
caller should be the one to free it too.
Freeing it in the caller also means that it very clearly always gets
freed, and avoids the need for any "free in the error case too".

This reverts commit 703625118069 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and
commit b04da8bfdfbb ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/
restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete.
It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling
__f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt
disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential
ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering.
Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running
lockdep to show the problem. It goes roughly like this:
- f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts
disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can
cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock.
- at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that
commit 703625118069 introduced, together with the pre-existing
sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock
dependency the other way too.
So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call,
we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the
lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown. That still
guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all
we really ever needed.
Commit 703625118069f9f8960d356676662d3db5a9d116 exposed that f_modown()
should call write_lock_irqsave instead of just write_lock_irq so that
because a caller could have a spinlock held and it would not be good to
renable interrupts.

UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009, 5.3.1 GUID Format overview, page
95) defines that LBA is always based on the logical block size. It
means bdev_logical_block_size() (aka BLKSSZGET) for Linux.
This patch removes static sector size from EFI GPT parser.
The problem is reproducible with the latest GNU Parted:
The size of EFI GPT header is not static, but whole sector is
allocated for the header. The HeaderSize field must be greater
than 92 (= sizeof(struct gpt_header) and must be less than or
equal to the logical block size.
It means we have to read whole sector with the header, because the
header crc32 checksum is calculated according to HeaderSize.

In free_unmap_area_noflush(), va->flags is marked as VM_LAZY_FREE first, and
then vmap_lazy_nr is increased atomically.
But, in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), while traversing of vmap_are_list, nr
is counted by checking VM_LAZY_FREE is set to va->flags. After counting
the variable nr, kernel reads vmap_lazy_nr atomically and checks a
BUG_ON condition whether nr is greater than vmap_lazy_nr to prevent
vmap_lazy_nr from being negative.
The problem is that, if interrupted right after marking VM_LAZY_FREE,
increment of vmap_lazy_nr can be delayed. Consequently, BUG_ON
condition can be met because nr is counted more than vmap_lazy_nr.
It is highly probable when vmalloc/vfree are called frequently. This
scenario have been verified by adding delay between marking VM_LAZY_FREE
and increasing vmap_lazy_nr in free_unmap_area_noflush().
Even the vmap_lazy_nr is for checking high watermark, it never be the
strict watermark. Although the BUG_ON condition is to prevent
vmap_lazy_nr from being negative, vmap_lazy_nr is signed variable. So,
it could go down to negative value temporarily.
Consequently, removing the BUG_ON condition is proper.

Instead of silently mapping pci mmap region as UC minus in the case
of !pat_enabled and wc request, we can return error. Eric Anholt mentioned
that caller (like X) typically follows up with UC minus pci mmap request and
if there is a free mtrr slot, caller will manage adding WC mtrr.

This patch (as1321) fixes a problem with EHCI and UHCI root-hub

The patch checks first to see if any port resumes are in progress, and
if they are then it fails the root-hub suspend with -EBUSY.

This patch (as1320) fixes two problems related to interrupt-URB
scheduling in ehci-hcd.
URBs with an interval of 2 or 4 microframes aren't handled.
For the time being, the patch reduces to interval to 1 uframe.
URBs are constrained to have an interval no larger than 1024
frames by usb_submit_urb(). But some EHCI controllers allow
use of a schedule as short as 256 frames; for these
controllers we may have to decrease the interval to the
actual schedule length.
The second problem isn't very significant since few devices expose
interrupt endpoints with an interval larger than 256 frames. But the
first problem is critical; it will prevent the kernel from working
with devices having interrupt intervals of 2 or 4 uframes.
Memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL can cause IO to a storage
device which can fail resulting in a need to reset the device.
Therefore GFP_KERNEL cannot be safely used between usb_lock_device()
and usb_unlock_device(). Replace by GFP_NOIO.

This patch (as1330) fixes a bug in khbud's handling of remote
wakeups. When a device sends a remote-wakeup request, the parent hub
(or the host controller driver, for directly attached devices) begins
the resume sequence and notifies khubd when the sequence finishes. At
this point the port's SUSPEND feature is automatically turned off.
However the device needs an additional 10-ms resume-recovery time
(TRSMRCY in the USB spec). Khubd does not wait for this delay if the
SUSPEND feature is off, and as a result some devices fail to behave
properly following a remote wakeup. This patch adds the missing
delay to the remote-wakeup path.
It also extends the resume-signalling delay used by ehci-hcd and
uhci-hcd from 20 ms (the value in the spec) to 25 ms (the value we use
for non-remote-wakeup resumes). The extra time appears to help some
devices.

Since commit 7e790dd5fc937bc8d2400c30a05e32a9e9eef276 ("inotify: fix
error paths in inotify_update_watch") inotify changed the manor in which
it gave watch descriptors back to userspace. Previous to this commit
inotify acted like the following:
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 2
but after this patch inotify would return watch descriptors like so:
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
which I saw as equivalent to opening an fd where
open(file) = 1;
close(1);
open(file) = 1;
seemed perfectly reasonable. The issue is that quite a bit of userspace
apparently relies on the behavior in which watch descriptors will not be
quickly reused. KDE relies on it, I know some selinux packages rely on
it, and I have heard complaints from other random sources such as debian
bug 558981.
Although the man page implies what we do is ok, we broke userspace so
this patch almost reverts us to the old behavior. It is still slightly
racey and I have patches that would fix that, but they are rather large
and this will fix it for all real world cases. The race is as follows:
- task1 creates a watch and blocks in idr_new_watch() before it updates
the hint.
- task2 creates a watch and updates the hint.
- task1 updates the hint with it's older wd
- task removes the watch created by task2
- task adds a new watch and will reuse the wd originally given to task2
it requires moving some locking around the hint (last_wd) but this should
solve it for the real world and be -stable safe.
As a side effect this patch papers over a bug in the lib/idr code which
is causing a large number WARN's to pop on people's system and many
reports in kerneloops.org. I'm working on the root cause of that idr
bug seperately but this should make inotify immune to that issue.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.

Marc reported that the BUG_ON in clockevents_notify() triggers on his
system. This happens because the kernel tries to remove an active
clock event device (used for broadcasting) from the device list.
The handling of devices which can be used as per cpu device and as a
global broadcast device is suboptimal.
The simplest solution for now (and for stable) is to check whether the
device is used as global broadcast device, but this needs to be
revisited.

Devices with custom sized EEPROMs have the upper limit size stuffed
in the EEPROM. Use this as the upper limit instead of the static
default size. In case of a checksum error also provide back the
max size and whether or not this was the default size or a custom
one. If the EEPROM is busted we add a failsafe check to ensure
we don't loop forever or try to read bogus areas of hardware.

This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(),
where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented
only once, causing the backing object to not be released.
If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system,
this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan,
which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the
file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this,
see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>.
The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b7075bd7ec3881141bb3629da58f88dab "[PATCH] futex: rely on
get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key()
also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its
callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning.
Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected:
the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(),
but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi().
The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31
this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.

If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set
pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed
user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling
pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new
waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on
unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses.
Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If
pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the
futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL.
This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the
futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it.

The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch
between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the
user space futex is completely bogus.
The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact
that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way
for user space to spam the syslog.
Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match
return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created.
This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the
pi_state->owner pid with the futex value.

Just like in CVE-2007-4567, we can't rely upon skb_dst() being
non-NULL at this point. We fixed that in commit e76b2b2567b83448c2ee85a896433b96150c92e6 ("[IPV6]: Do no rely on
skb->dst before it is assigned.")
Complicating analysis further, this bug can only trigger when network
namespaces are enabled in the build. When namespaces are turned off,
the dev_net() does not evaluate it's argument, so the dereference
would not occur.
So, for a long time, namespaces couldn't be turned on unless SYSFS was
disabled. Therefore, this code has largely been disabled except by
people turning it on explicitly for namespace development.

Several leaks in audit_tree didn't get caught by commit 318b6d3d7ddbcad3d6867e630711b8a705d873d7, including the leak on normal
exit in case of multiple rules refering to the same chunk.
... aka "Al had badly fscked up when writing that thing and nobody
noticed until Eric had fixed leaks that used to mask the breakage".
The function essentially creates a copy of old array sans one element
and replaces the references to elements of original (they are on cyclic
lists) with those to corresponding elements of new one. After that the
old one is fair game for freeing.
First of all, there's a dumb braino: when we get to list_replace_init we
use indices for wrong arrays - position in new one with the old array
and vice versa.
Another bug is more subtle - termination condition is wrong if the
element to be excluded happens to be the last one. We shouldn't go
until we fill the new array, we should go until we'd finished the old
one. Otherwise the element we are trying to kill will remain on the
cyclic lists...
That crap used to be masked by several leaks, so it was not quite
trivial to hit. Eric had fixed some of those leaks a while ago and the
shit had hit the fan...
Commit fd8fbfc1 modified the way we find amount of reserved space
belonging to an inode. The amount of reserved space is checked
from dquot_transfer and thus inode_reserved_space gets called
even for filesystems that don't provide get_reserved_space callback
which results in a BUG.
Fix the problem by checking get_reserved_space callback and return 0 if
the filesystem does not provide it.
