If the serial interface is used, the 8-bit address should be latched using
the rising edge of the WR/FSYNC signal.
This basically means that a CS change is required between the first byte
sent, and the second one.
This change splits the single-transfer transfer of 2 bytes into 2 transfers
with a single byte, and CS change in-between.

This patch fixes a regression: patch df5db5f9ee112 allowed function
run_queue() to bypass its call to do_xmote() if revokes were queued for
the glock. That's wrong because its call to do_xmote() is what is
responsible for calling the go_sync() glops functions to sync both
the ail list and any revokes queued for it. By bypassing the call,
gfs2 could get into a stand-off where the glock could not be demoted
until its revokes are written back, but the revokes would not be
written back because do_xmote() was never called.
It "sort of" works, however, because there are other mechanisms like
the log flush daemon (logd) that can sync the ail items and revokes,
if it deems it necessary. The problem is: without file system pressure,
it might never deem it necessary.

pppol2tp_connect() initialises L2TP sessions after they've been exposed
to the rest of the system by l2tp_session_register(). This puts
sessions into transient states that are the source of several races, in
particular with session's deletion path.
This patch centralises the initialisation code into
pppol2tp_session_init(), which is called before the registration phase.
The only field that can't be set before session registration is the
pppol2tp socket pointer, which has already been converted to RCU. So
pppol2tp_connect() should now be race-free.
The session's .session_close() callback is now set before registration.
Therefore, it's always called when l2tp_core deletes the session, even
if it was created by pppol2tp_session_create() and hasn't been plugged
to a pppol2tp socket yet. That'd prevent session free because the extra
reference taken by pppol2tp_session_close() wouldn't be dropped by the
socket's ->sk_destruct() callback (pppol2tp_session_destruct()).
We could set .session_close() only while connecting a session to its
pppol2tp socket, or teach pppol2tp_session_close() to avoid grabbing a
reference when the session isn't connected, but that'd require adding
some form of synchronisation to be race free.
Instead of that, we can just let the pppol2tp socket hold a reference
on the session as soon as it starts depending on it (that is, in
pppol2tp_connect()). Then we don't need to utilise
pppol2tp_session_close() to hold a reference at the last moment to
prevent l2tp_core from dropping it.
When releasing the socket, pppol2tp_release() now deletes the session
using the standard l2tp_session_delete() function, instead of merely
removing it from hash tables. l2tp_session_delete() drops the reference
the sessions holds on itself, but also makes sure it doesn't remove a
session twice. So it can safely be called, even if l2tp_core already
tried, or is concurrently trying, to remove the session.
Finally, pppol2tp_session_destruct() drops the reference held by the
socket.

pppol2tp_session_create() registers sessions that can't have their
corresponding socket initialised. This socket has to be created by
userspace, then connected to the session by pppol2tp_connect().
Therefore, we need to protect the pppol2tp socket pointer of L2TP
sessions, so that it can safely be updated when userspace is connecting
or closing the socket. This will eventually allow pppol2tp_connect()
to avoid generating transient states while initialising its parts of the
session.
To this end, this patch protects the pppol2tp socket pointer using RCU.
The pppol2tp socket pointer is still set in pppol2tp_connect(), but
only once we know the function isn't going to fail. It's eventually
reset by pppol2tp_release(), which now has to wait for a grace period
to elapse before it can drop the last reference on the socket. This
ensures that pppol2tp_session_get_sock() can safely grab a reference
on the socket, even after ps->sk is reset to NULL but before this
operation actually gets visible from pppol2tp_session_get_sock().
The rest is standard RCU conversion: pppol2tp_recv(), which already
runs in atomic context, is simply enclosed by rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock(), while other functions are converted to use
pppol2tp_session_get_sock() followed by sock_put().
pppol2tp_session_setsockopt() is a special case. It used to retrieve
the pppol2tp socket from the L2TP session, which itself was retrieved
from the pppol2tp socket. Therefore we can just avoid dereferencing
ps->sk and directly use the original socket pointer instead.
With all users of ps->sk now handling NULL and concurrent updates, the
L2TP ->ref() and ->deref() callbacks aren't needed anymore. Therefore,
rather than converting pppol2tp_session_sock_hold() and
pppol2tp_session_sock_put(), we can just drop them.

Sessions must be initialised before being made externally visible by
l2tp_session_register(). Otherwise the session may be concurrently
deleted before being initialised, which can confuse the deletion path
and eventually lead to kernel oops.
Therefore, we need to move l2tp_session_register() down in
l2tp_eth_create(), but also handle the intermediate step where only the
session or the netdevice has been registered.
We can't just call l2tp_session_register() in ->ndo_init() because
we'd have no way to properly undo this operation in ->ndo_uninit().
Instead, let's register the session and the netdevice in two different
steps and protect the session's device pointer with RCU.
And now that we allow the session's .dev field to be NULL, we don't
need to prevent the netdevice from being removed anymore. So we can
drop the dev_hold() and dev_put() calls in l2tp_eth_create() and
l2tp_eth_dev_uninit().

Sessions created by l2tp_session_create() aren't fully initialised:
some pseudo-wire specific operations need to be done before making the
session usable. Therefore the PPP and Ethernet pseudo-wires continue
working on the returned l2tp session while it's already been exposed to
the rest of the system.
This can lead to various issues. In particular, the session may enter
the deletion process before having been fully initialised, which will
confuse the session removal code.
This patch moves session registration out of l2tp_session_create(), so
that callers can control when the session is exposed to the rest of the
system. This is done by the new l2tp_session_register() function.
Only pppol2tp_session_create() can be easily converted to avoid
modifying its session after registration (the debug message is dropped
in order to avoid the need for holding a reference on the session).
For pppol2tp_connect() and l2tp_eth_create()), more work is needed.
That'll be done in followup patches. For now, let's just register the
session right after its creation, like it was done before. The only
difference is that we can easily take a reference on the session before
registering it, so, at least, we're sure it's not going to be freed
while we're working on it.

Using l2tp_tunnel_find() in pppol2tp_session_create() and
l2tp_eth_create() is racy, because no reference is held on the
returned session. These functions are only used to implement the
->session_create callback which is run by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create().
Therefore searching for the parent tunnel isn't necessary because
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create() already has a pointer to it and holds a
reference.
This patch modifies ->session_create()'s prototype to directly pass the
the parent tunnel as parameter, thus avoiding searching for it in
pppol2tp_session_create() and l2tp_eth_create().
Since we have to touch the ->session_create() call in
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(), let's also remove the useless conditional:
we know that ->session_create isn't NULL at this point because it's
already been checked earlier in this same function.
Finally, one might be tempted to think that the removed
l2tp_tunnel_find() calls were harmless because they would return the
same tunnel as the one held by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create() anyway.
But that tunnel might be removed and a new one created with same tunnel
Id before the l2tp_tunnel_find() call. In this case l2tp_tunnel_find()
would return the new tunnel which wouldn't be protected by the
reference held by l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create().

l2tp_tunnel_destruct() sets tunnel->sock to NULL, then removes the
tunnel from the pernet list and finally closes all its sessions.
Therefore, it's possible to add a session to a tunnel that is still
reachable, but for which tunnel->sock has already been reset. This can
make l2tp_session_create() dereference a NULL pointer when calling
sock_hold(tunnel->sock).
This patch adds the .acpt_newsess field to struct l2tp_tunnel, which is
used by l2tp_tunnel_closeall() to prevent addition of new sessions to
tunnels. Resetting tunnel->sock is done after l2tp_tunnel_closeall()
returned, so that l2tp_session_add_to_tunnel() can safely take a
reference on it when .acpt_newsess is true.
The .acpt_newsess field is modified in l2tp_tunnel_closeall(), rather
than in l2tp_tunnel_destruct(), so that it benefits all tunnel removal
mechanisms. E.g. on UDP tunnels, a session could be added to a tunnel
after l2tp_udp_encap_destroy() proceeded. This would prevent the tunnel
from being removed because of the references held by this new session
on the tunnel and its socket. Even though the session could be removed
manually later on, this defeats the purpose of
commit 9980d001cec8 ("l2tp: add udp encap socket destroy handler").

l2tp_tunnel_find() doesn't take a reference on the returned tunnel.
Therefore, it's unsafe to use it because the returned tunnel can go
away on us anytime.
Fix this by defining l2tp_tunnel_get(), which works like
l2tp_tunnel_find(), but takes a reference on the returned tunnel.
Caller then has to drop this reference using l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount().
As l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount() needs to be moved to l2tp_core.h, let's
simplify the patch and not move the L2TP_REFCNT_DEBUG part. This code
has been broken (not even compiling) in May 2012 by
commit a4ca44fa578c ("net: l2tp: Standardize logging styles")
and fixed more than two years later by
commit 29abe2fda54f ("l2tp: fix missing line continuation"). So it
doesn't appear to be used by anyone.
Same thing for l2tp_tunnel_free(); instead of moving it to l2tp_core.h,
let's just simplify things and call kfree_rcu() directly in
l2tp_tunnel_dec_refcount(). Extra assertions and debugging code
provided by l2tp_tunnel_free() didn't help catching any of the
reference counting and socket handling issues found while working on
this series.

Existing L2TP kernel code does not derive the optimal MTU for Ethernet
pseudowires and instead leaves this to a userspace L2TP daemon or
operator. If an MTU is not specified, the existing kernel code chooses
an MTU that does not take account of all tunnel header overheads, which
can lead to unwanted IP fragmentation. When L2TP is used without a
control plane (userspace daemon), we would prefer that the kernel does a
better job of choosing a default pseudowire MTU, taking account of all
tunnel header overheads, including IP header options, if any. This patch
addresses this.
Change-set here uses the new kernel function, kernel_sock_ip_overhead(),
to factor the outer IP overhead on the L2TP tunnel socket (including
IP Options, if any) when calculating the default MTU for an Ethernet
pseudowire, along with consideration of the inner Ethernet header.

Using l2tp_tunnel_find() in l2tp_ip_recv() is wrong for two reasons:
* It doesn't take a reference on the returned tunnel, which makes the
call racy wrt. concurrent tunnel deletion.
* The lookup is only based on the tunnel identifier, so it can return
a tunnel that doesn't match the packet's addresses or protocol.
For example, a packet sent to an L2TPv3 over IPv6 tunnel can be
delivered to an L2TPv2 over UDPv4 tunnel. This is worse than a simple
cross-talk: when delivering the packet to an L2TP over UDP tunnel, the
corresponding socket is UDP, where ->sk_backlog_rcv() is NULL. Calling
sk_receive_skb() will then crash the kernel by trying to execute this
callback.
And l2tp_tunnel_find() isn't even needed here. __l2tp_ip_bind_lookup()
properly checks the socket binding and connection settings. It was used
as a fallback mechanism for finding tunnels that didn't have their data
path registered yet. But it's not limited to this case and can be used
to replace l2tp_tunnel_find() in the general case.

Callers of l2tp_nl_session_find() need to hold a reference on the
returned session since there's no guarantee that it isn't going to
disappear from under them.
Relying on the fact that no l2tp netlink message may be processed
concurrently isn't enough: sessions can be deleted by other means
(e.g. by closing the PPPOL2TP socket of a ppp pseudowire).
l2tp_nl_cmd_session_delete() is a bit special: it runs a callback
function that may require a previous call to session->ref(). In
particular, for ppp pseudowires, the callback is l2tp_session_delete(),
which then calls pppol2tp_session_close() and dereferences the PPPOL2TP
socket. The socket might already be gone at the moment
l2tp_session_delete() calls session->ref(), so we need to take a
reference during the session lookup. So we need to pass the do_ref
variable down to l2tp_session_get() and l2tp_session_get_by_ifname().
Since all callers have to be updated, l2tp_session_find_by_ifname() and
l2tp_nl_session_find() are renamed to reflect their new behaviour.

It's not enough to check for sockets bound to same address at the
beginning of l2tp_ip{,6}_bind(): even if no socket is found at that
time, a socket with the same address could be bound before we take
the l2tp lock again.
This patch moves the lookup right before inserting the new socket, so
that no change can ever happen to the list between address lookup and
socket insertion.
Care is taken to avoid side effects on the socket in case of failure.
That is, modifications of the socket are done after the lookup, when
binding is guaranteed to succeed, and before releasing the l2tp lock,
so that concurrent lookups will always see fully initialised sockets.
For l2tp_ip, 'ret' is set to -EINVAL before checking the SOCK_ZAPPED
bit. Error code was mistakenly set to -EADDRINUSE on error by commit 32c231164b76 ("l2tp: fix racy SOCK_ZAPPED flag check in l2tp_ip{,6}_bind()").
Using -EINVAL restores original behaviour.
For l2tp_ip6, the lookup is now always done with the correct bound
device. Before this patch, when binding to a link-local address, the
lookup was done with the original sk->sk_bound_dev_if, which was later
overwritten with addr->l2tp_scope_id. Lookup is now performed with the
final sk->sk_bound_dev_if value.
Finally, the (addr_len >= sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6)) check has been
dropped: addr is a sockaddr_l2tpip6 not sockaddr_in6 and addr_len has
already been checked at this point (this part of the code seems to have
been copy-pasted from net/ipv6/raw.c).

There is a corner case that ALSA keeps increasing the hw_ptr but DMA
already stop working/updating the position for a long time.
In following log we can see the position returned from DMA driver does
not move at all but the hw_ptr got increased at some point of time so
snd_pcm_avail() will return a large number which seems to be a buffer
underrun event from user space program point of view. The program
thinks there is space in the buffer and fill more data.
This is because the hw_base will be increased by runtime->buffer_size
frames unconditionally if the hw_ptr is not updated for over half of
buffer time. As the hw_base increases, so does the hw_ptr increased
by the same number.
The avail value returned from snd_pcm_avail() could exceed the limit
(buffer_size) easily becase the hw_ptr itself got increased by same
buffer_size samples when the corner case happens. In following log,
the buffer_size is 16368 samples but the avail is 21810 samples so
CRAS server complains about it.
cras_server[1907]: pcm_avail returned frames larger than buf_size:
sof-glkda7219max: :0,5: 21810 > 16368
By updating runtime->hw_ptr_jiffies each time the HWSYNC is called,
the hw_base will keep the same when buffer stall happens at long as
the interval between each HWSYNC call is shorter than half of buffer
time.
Following is a log captured by a patched kernel. The hw_base/hw_ptr
value is fixed in this corner case and user space program should be
aware of the buffer stall and handle it.
With the removal of the padata timer, padata_do_serial no longer
needs special CPU handling, so remove it.

In padata_alloc_pd, pd->cpu is set using the user-supplied cpumask
instead of the effective cpumask, and in this case cpumask_first picked
an offline CPU.
The offline CPU's reorder->list.next is NULL in padata_reorder because
the list wasn't initialized in padata_init_pqueues, which only operates
on CPUs in the effective mask.
Fix by using the effective mask in padata_alloc_pd.

The function padata_reorder will use a timer when it cannot progress
while completed jobs are outstanding (pd->reorder_objects > 0). This
is suboptimal as if we do end up using the timer then it would have
introduced a gratuitous delay of one second.
In fact we can easily distinguish between whether completed jobs
are outstanding and whether we can make progress. All we have to
do is look at the next pqueue list.
This patch does that by replacing pd->processed with pd->cpu so
that the next pqueue is more accessible.
A work queue is used instead of the original try_again to avoid
hogging the CPU.
Note that we don't bother removing the work queue in
padata_flush_queues because the whole premise is broken. You
cannot flush async crypto requests so it makes no sense to even
try. A subsequent patch will fix it by replacing it with a ref
counting scheme.

The parallel queue per-cpu data structure gets initialized only for CPUs
in the 'pcpu' CPU mask set. This is not sufficient as the reorder timer
may run on a different CPU and might wrongly decide it's the target CPU
for the next reorder item as per-cpu memory gets memset(0) and we might
be waiting for the first CPU in cpumask.pcpu, i.e. cpu_index 0.
Make the '__this_cpu_read(pd->pqueue->cpu_index) == next_queue->cpu_index'
compare in padata_get_next() fail in this case by initializing the
cpu_index member of all per-cpu parallel queues. Use -1 for unused ones.

The struct cdev is embedded in the struct i2c_dev. In the current code,
we would free the i2c_dev struct directly in put_i2c_dev(), but the
cdev is manged by a kobject, and the release of it is not predictable.
So it is very possible that the i2c_dev is freed before the cdev is
entirely released. We can easily get the following call trace with

This is a common issue when using cdev embedded in a struct.
Fortunately, we already have a mechanism to solve this kind of issue.
Please see commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to
register char devs with a struct device") for more detail.
In this patch, we choose to embed the struct device into the i2c_dev,
and use the API provided by the commit 233ed09d7fda to make sure that
the release of i2c_dev and cdev are in sequence.

i2c-dev had never moved away from the older register_chrdev interface to
implement its char device registration. The register_chrdev API has the
limitation of enabling only up to 256 i2c-dev busses to exist.
Large platforms with lots of i2c devices (i.e. pluggable transceivers)
with dedicated busses may have to exceed that limit.
In particular, there are also platforms making use of the i2c bus
multiplexing API, which instantiates a virtual bus for each possible
multiplexed selection.
This patch removes the register_chrdev usage and replaces it with the
less old cdev API, which takes away the 256 i2c-dev bus limitation.
It should not have any other impact for i2c bus drivers or user space.
This patch has been tested on qemu x86 and qemu powerpc platforms with
the aid of a module which adds and removes 5000 virtual i2c busses, as
well as validated on an existing powerpc hardware platform which makes
use of the i2c bus multiplexing API.
i2c-dev busses with device minor numbers larger than 256 have also been
validated to work with the existing i2c-tools.

Add devnode struct device kobj as the cdev parent kobject. cdev_add() gets
a reference to it and releases it in cdev_del() ensuring that the devnode
is not deallocated as long as the application has the device file open.
media_devnode_register() initializes the struct device kobj before calling
cdev_add(). media_devnode_unregister() does cdev_del() and then deletes the
device. devnode is released when the last reference to the struct device is
gone.
This problem is found on uvcvideo, em28xx, and au0828 drivers and fix has

struct media_devnode is currently embedded at struct media_device.
While this works fine during normal usage, it leads to a race
condition during devnode unregister. the problem is that drivers
assume that, after calling media_device_unregister(), the struct
that contains media_device can be freed. This is not true, as it
can't be freed until userspace closes all opened /dev/media devnodes.
In other words, if the media devnode is still open, and media_device
gets freed, any call to an ioctl will make the core to try to access
struct media_device, with will cause an use-after-free and even GPF.
Fix this by dynamically allocating the struct media_devnode and only
freeing it when it is safe.

Stephen reported the following build warning on a ARM multi_v7_defconfig
build with GCC 9.2.1:
kernel/futex.c: In function 'do_futex':

kernel/futex.c:1652:6: note: 'oldval' was declared here
1652 | int oldval, ret;
| ^~~~~~
introduced by commit a08971e9488d ("futex: arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()
calling conventions change").
While that change should not make any difference it confuses GCC which
fails to work out that oldval is not referenced when the return value is
not zero.
GCC fails to properly analyze arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser(). It's not the
early return, the issue is with the assembly macros. GCC fails to detect
that those either set 'ret' to 0 and set oldval or set 'ret' to -EFAULT
which makes oldval uninteresting. The store to the callsite supplied oldval
pointer is conditional on ret == 0.
The straight forward way to solve this is to make the store unconditional.
Aside of addressing the build warning this makes sense anyway because it
removes the conditional from the fastpath. In the error case the stored
value is uninteresting and the extra store does not matter at all.
asus-nb-wmi does not add any extra functionality on these Asus
Transformer books. They have detachable keyboards, so the hotkeys are
send through a HID device (and handled by the hid-asus driver) and also
the rfkill functionality is not used on these devices.
Besides not adding any extra functionality, initializing the WMI interface
on these devices actually has a negative side-effect. For some reason
the \_SB.ATKD.INIT() function which asus_wmi_platform_init() calls drives

The syzbot fuzzer found a race between URB submission to endpoint 0
and device reset. Namely, during the reset we call usb_ep0_reinit()
because the characteristics of ep0 may have changed (if the reset
follows a firmware update, for example). While usb_ep0_reinit() is
running there is a brief period during which the pointers stored in
udev->ep_in[0] and udev->ep_out[0] are set to NULL, and if an URB is
submitted to ep0 during that period, usb_urb_ep_type_check() will
report it as a driver bug. In the absence of those pointers, the
routine thinks that the endpoint doesn't exist. The log message looks
like this:
------------[ cut here ]------------
usb 2-1: BOGUS urb xfer, pipe 2 != type 2
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9241 at drivers/usb/core/urb.c:478
usb_submit_urb+0x1188/0x1460 drivers/usb/core/urb.c:478
Now, although submitting an URB while the device is being reset is a
questionable thing to do, it shouldn't count as a driver bug as severe
as submitting an URB for an endpoint that doesn't exist. Indeed,
endpoint 0 always exists, even while the device is in its unconfigured
state.
To prevent these misleading driver bug reports, this patch updates
usb_disable_endpoint() to avoid clearing the ep_in[] and ep_out[]
pointers when the endpoint being disabled is ep0. There's no danger
of leaving a stale pointer in place, because the usb_host_endpoint
structure being pointed to is stored permanently in udev->ep0; it
doesn't get deallocated until the entire usb_device structure does.
If the ceph_mdsc_open_export_target_session() return fails, it will
do a "goto retry", but the session mutex has already been unlocked.
Re-lock the mutex in that case to ensure that we don't unlock it
twice.
cpy and set really should be size_t; we won't get an overflow on that,
since sysctl_nr_open can't be set above ~(size_t)0 / sizeof(void *),
so nr that would've managed to overflow size_t on that multiplication
won't get anywhere near copy_fdtable() - we'll fail with EMFILE

Task B: if (*tfm == NULL) <= *tfm is not NULL, use it
Task B: rc = crypto_shash_init(desc) <= panic
Task A: *tfm = NULL
This patch uses the IS_ERR_OR_NULL macro to determine whether or not a new
crypto context must be created.

The Clock Pulse Generator (CPG) device node lacks the extal2 clock.
This may lead to a failure registering the "r" clock, or to a wrong
parent for the "usb24s" clock, depending on MD_CK2 pin configuration and
boot loader CPG_USBCKCR register configuration.
This went unnoticed, as this does not affect the single upstream board
configuration, which relies on the first clock input only.
'dev' is allocated in 'net2272_probe_init()'. It must be freed in the error
handling path, as already done in the remove function (i.e.
'net2272_plat_remove()')
I goofed when I added mm->user_ns support to would_dump. I missed the
fact that in the case of binfmt_loader, binfmt_em86, binfmt_misc, and
binfmt_script bprm->file is reassigned. Which made the move of
would_dump from setup_new_exec to __do_execve_file before exec_binprm
incorrect as it can result in would_dump running on the script instead
of the interpreter of the script.
The net result is that the code stopped making unreadable interpreters
undumpable. Which allows them to be ptraced and written to disk
without special permissions. Oops.
The move was necessary because the call in set_new_exec was after
bprm->mm was no longer valid.
To correct this mistake move the misplaced would_dump from
__do_execve_file into flos_old_exec, before exec_mmap is called.
I tested and confirmed that without this fix I can attach with gdb to
a script with an unreadable interpreter, and with this fix I can not.

... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the
function which generates the stack canary value.
The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel
built with gcc-10:
Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139
Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013
Call Trace:
dump_stack
panic
? start_secondary
__stack_chk_fail
start_secondary
secondary_startup_64
-—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call
in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack
canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the
boot_init_stack_canary() call.
To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which
generates the stack canary with:
however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively
as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously
supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options.
The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to
not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs.
The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing
the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out
start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with
-fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm("").
This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported
by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?)
optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us
to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the
compiler cannot ignore or move around etc.
That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other
two solutions too so...

This bug occurs when a size variable used for a buffer
is misused to access its strcpy-ed buffer.
Given a buffer along with its size variable (taken from user input),
from which, a new buffer is created using kstrdup().
Due to the original buffer containing 0 value in the middle,
the size of the kstrdup-ed buffer becomes smaller than that of the original.
So accessing the kstrdup-ed buffer with the same size variable
triggers memory access violation.
The fix makes sure no zero value in the buffer,
by comparing the strlen() of the orignal buffer with the size variable,
so that the access to the kstrdup-ed buffer is safe.

Read of size 1 at addr ffff88806a55dd7e by task syz-executor.0/17208
syzbot reported the uninitialized value exposure in certain situations
using virmidi loop. It's likely a very small race at writing and
reading, and the influence is almost negligible. But it's safer to
paper over this just by replacing the existing kvmalloc() with
kvzalloc().
The rawmidi core allows user to resize the runtime buffer via ioctl,
and this may lead to UAF when performed during concurrent reads or
writes: the read/write functions unlock the runtime lock temporarily
during copying form/to user-space, and that's the race window.
This patch fixes the hole by introducing a reference counter for the
runtime buffer read/write access and returns -EBUSY error when the
resize is performed concurrently against read/write.
Note that the ref count field is a simple integer instead of
refcount_t here, since the all contexts accessing the buffer is
basically protected with a spinlock, hence we need no expensive atomic
ops. Also, note that this busy check is needed only against read /
write functions, and not in receive/transmit callbacks; the race can
happen only at the spinlock hole mentioned in the above, while the
whole function is protected for receive / transmit callbacks.
Lenovo Thinkpad T530 seems to have a sensitive internal mic capture
that needs to limit the mic boost like a few other Thinkpad models.
Although we may change the quirk for ALC269_FIXUP_LENOVO_DOCK, this

that limits the internal mic boost on top of the existing quirk and
apply to only T530.
The cipso and calipso code can set the MLS_CAT attribute on
successful parsing, even if the corresponding catmap has
not been allocated, as per current configuration and external

Later, selinux code tries to access the catmap if the MLS_CAT flag
is present via netlbl_catmap_getlong(). That may cause null ptr
dereference while processing incoming network traffic.
Address the issue setting the MLS_CAT flag only if the catmap is
really allocated. Additionally let netlbl_catmap_getlong() cope

In commit b406472b5ad7 ("net: ipv4: avoid mixed n_redirects and
rate_tokens usage") I missed the fact that a 0 'rate_tokens' will
bypass the backoff algorithm.
Since rate_tokens is cleared after a redirect silence, and never
incremented on redirects, if the host keeps receiving packets
requiring redirect it will reply ignoring the backoff.
Additionally, the 'rate_last' field will be updated with the
cadence of the ingress packet requiring redirect. If that rate is
high enough, that will prevent the host from generating any
other kind of ICMP messages
The check for a zero 'rate_tokens' value was likely a shortcut
to avoid the more complex backoff algorithm after a redirect
silence period. Address the issue checking for 'n_redirects'
instead, which is incremented on successful redirect, and
does not interfere with other ICMP replies.

syzbot managed to trigger a recursive NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event
between bonding master and slave. I managed to find a reproducer
for this:
ip li set bond0 up
ifenslave bond0 eth0
brctl addbr br0
ethtool -K eth0 lro off
brctl addif br0 bond0
ip li set br0 up
When a NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event is triggered on a bonding slave,
it captures this and calls bond_compute_features() to fixup its
master's and other slaves' features. However, when syncing with
its lower devices by netdev_sync_lower_features() this event is
triggered again on slaves when the LRO feature fails to change,
so it goes back and forth recursively until the kernel stack is
exhausted.
Commit 17b85d29e82c intentionally lets __netdev_update_features()
return -1 for such a failure case, so we have to just rely on
the existing check inside netdev_sync_lower_features() and skip
NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event only for this specific failure case.

gcc-10 has started warning about conflicting types for a few new
built-in functions, particularly 'free()'.
This results in warnings like:
crypto/xts.c:325:13: warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘free’; expected ‘void(void *)’ [-Wbuiltin-declaration-mismatch]
because the crypto layer had its local freeing functions called
'free()'.
Gcc-10 is in the wrong here, since that function is marked 'static', and
thus there is no chance of confusion with any standard library function
namespace.
But the simplest thing to do is to just use a different name here, and
avoid this gcc mis-feature.
[ Side note: gcc knowing about 'free()' is in itself not the
mis-feature: the semantics of 'free()' are special enough that a
compiler can validly do special things when seeing it.
So the mis-feature here is that gcc thinks that 'free()' is some
restricted name, and you can't shadow it as a local static function.
Making the special 'free()' semantics be a function attribute rather
than tied to the name would be the much better model ]

A recent commit runs tag iterator callbacks under the rcu read lock,

The commit intended to prevent an iterator from accessing a queue that's

reference instead of reading it, which allows callbacks to make blocking
calls.

For blk-mq, part_in_flight/rw will invoke blk_mq_in_flight/rw to
account the inflight requests. It will access the queue_hw_ctx and
nr_hw_queues w/o any protection. When updating nr_hw_queues and
blk_mq_in_flight/rw occur concurrently, panic comes up.
Before update nr_hw_queues, the q will be frozen. So we could use
q_usage_counter to avoid the race. percpu_ref_is_zero is used here
so that we will not miss any in-flight request. The access to
nr_hw_queues and queue_hw_ctx in blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter are
under rcu critical section, __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues could use
synchronize_rcu to ensure the zeroed q_usage_counter to be globally
visible.
--------------
NOTE: Back-ported to 4.4.y.
The upstream commit was intended to prevent concurrent manipulation of
nr_hw_queues and iteration over queues. The former doesn't happen in
this in 4.4.7 (as __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues doesn't exist). The
extra locking is also buggy in this commit but fixed in a follow-up.
It may protect against other concurrent accesses such as queue removal
by synchronising RCU locking around q_usage_counter.

In case a submitted request gets stuck for some reason, the block layer
can prevent the request starvation by starting the scheduled timeout work.
If this stuck request occurs at the same time another thread has started
a queue freeze, the blk_mq_timeout_work will not be able to acquire the
queue reference and will return silently, thus not issuing the timeout.
But since the request is already holding a q_usage_counter reference and
is unable to complete, it will never release its reference, preventing
the queue from completing the freeze started by first thread. This puts
the request_queue in a hung state, forever waiting for the freeze
completion.
This was observed while running IO to a NVMe device at the same time we
toggled the CPU hotplug code. Eventually, once a request got stuck
requiring a timeout during a queue freeze, we saw the CPU Hotplug
notification code get stuck inside blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait, as shown in
the trace below.
The fix is to allow the timeout work to execute in the window between
dropping the initial refcount reference and the release of the last
reference, which actually marks the freeze completion. This can be
achieved with percpu_refcount_tryget, which does not require the counter
to be alive. This way the timeout work can do it's job and terminate a
stuck request even during a freeze, returning its reference and avoiding
the deadlock.
Allowing the timeout to run is just a part of the fix, since for some
devices, we might get stuck again inside the device driver's timeout
handler, should it attempt to allocate a new request in that path -
which is a quite common action for Abort commands, which need to be sent
after a timeout. In NVMe, for instance, we call blk_mq_alloc_request
from inside the timeout handler, which will fail during a freeze, since
it also tries to acquire a queue reference.
I considered a similar change to blk_mq_alloc_request as a generic
solution for further device driver hangs, but we can't do that, since it
would allow new requests to disturb the freeze process. I thought about
creating a new function in the block layer to support unfreezable
requests for these occasions, but after working on it for a while, I
feel like this should be handled in a per-driver basis. I'm now
experimenting with changes to the NVMe timeout path, but I'm open to
suggestions of ways to make this generic.

Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort
action from. So instead of calling the driver from this useless context
defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible.
Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't
dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer
internals. But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to
the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :)
Contains a major update from Keith Bush:
"This patch removes synchronizing the timeout work so that the timer can
start a freeze on its own queue. The timer enters the queue, so timer
context can only start a freeze, but not wait for frozen."
-------------
NOTE: Back-ported to 4.4.y.
The only parts of the upstream commit that have been kept are various
locking changes, none of which were mentioned in the original commit
message which therefore describes this change not at all.
Timeout callbacks continue to be run via a timer. Both blk_mq_rq_timer
and blk_rq_timed_out_timer will return without without doing any work
if they cannot acquire the queue (without waiting).

gcc-10 now warns about passing aliasing pointers to functions that take
restricted pointers.
That's actually a great warning, and if we ever start using 'restrict'
in the kernel, it might be quite useful. But right now we don't, and it
turns out that the only thing this warns about is an idiom where we have
declared a few functions to be "printf-like" (which seems to make gcc
pick up the restricted pointer thing), and then we print to the same
buffer that we also use as an input.
And people do that as an odd concatenation pattern, with code like this:
where we have 'buffer' as both the destination of the final result, and
as the initial argument.
Yes, it's a bit questionable. And outside of the kernel, people do have
standard declarations like
int snprintf( char *restrict buffer, size_t bufsz,
const char *restrict format, ... );
where that output buffer is marked as a restrict pointer that cannot
alias with any other arguments.
But in the context of the kernel, that 'use snprintf() to concatenate to
the end result' does work, and the pattern shows up in multiple places.
And we have not marked our own version of snprintf() as taking restrict
pointers, so the warning is incorrect for now, and gcc picks it up on
its own.
If we do start using 'restrict' in the kernel (and it might be a good
idea if people find places where it matters), we'll need to figure out
how to avoid this issue for snprintf and friends. But in the meantime,
this warning is not useful.
This is the final array bounds warning removal for gcc-10 for now.
Again, the warning is good, and we should re-enable all these warnings
when we have converted all the legacy array declaration cases to
flexible arrays. But in the meantime, it's just noise.
This is another fine warning, related to the 'zero-length-bounds' one,
but hitting the same historical code in the kernel.
Because C didn't historically support flexible array members, we have
code that instead uses a one-sized array, the same way we have cases of
zero-sized arrays.
The one-sized arrays come from either not wanting to use the gcc
zero-sized array extension, or from a slight convenience-feature, where
particularly for strings, the size of the structure now includes the
allocation for the final NUL character.
So with a "char name[1];" at the end of a structure, you can do things
like
v = my_malloc(sizeof(struct vendor) + strlen(name));
and avoid the "+1" for the terminator.
Yes, the modern way to do that is with a flexible array, and using
'offsetof()' instead of 'sizeof()', and adding the "+1" by hand. That
also technically gets the size "more correct" in that it avoids any
alignment (and thus padding) issues, but this is another long-term
cleanup thing that will not happen for 5.7.
So disable the warning for now, even though it's potentially quite
useful. Having a slew of warnings that then hide more urgent new issues
is not an improvement.
This is a fine warning, but we still have a number of zero-length arrays
in the kernel that come from the traditional gcc extension. Yes, they
are getting converted to flexible arrays, but in the meantime the gcc-10
warning about zero-length bounds is very verbose, and is hiding other
issues.
I missed one actual build failure because it was hidden among hundreds
of lines of warning. Thankfully I caught it on the second go before
pushing things out, but it convinced me that I really need to disable
the new warnings for now.
We'll hopefully be all done with our conversion to flexible arrays in
the not too distant future, and we can then re-enable this warning.
We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.
For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).
And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.
At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.
So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".
Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.
That's currently not the world we live in, though.
Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched
various false positives:
- commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building
with -Os") turned off this option for -Os.
- commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning
for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES
- commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC < 4.9
Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903
I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.
Due to a bug-report that was compiler-dependent, I updated one of my
machines to gcc-10. That shows a lot of new warnings. Happily they
seem to be mostly the valid kind, but it's going to cause a round of
churn for getting rid of them..
This is the really low-hanging fruit of removing a couple of zero-sized
arrays in some core code. We have had a round of these patches before,
and we'll have many more coming, and there is nothing special about
these except that they were particularly trivial, and triggered more
warnings than most.
