-
Sergei Shtylyov authored
DA8xx OHCI driver fails to load due to failing clk_get() call for the USB 2.0 clock. Arrange matching USB 2.0 clock by the clock name instead of the device. (Adding another CLK() entry for "ohci.0" device won't do -- in the future I'll also have to enable USB 2.0 clock to configure CPPI 4.1 module, in which case I won't have any device at all.)

inotify_new_group() receives a get_uid-ed user_struct and saves the reference on group->inotify_data.user. The problem is that free_uid() is never called on it. Issue seem to be introduced by 63c882a0 (inotify: reimplement inotify using fsnotify) after 2.6.30.

There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code. A task can find and remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references. This can result in a use after free/double free situation. Task A Task B ------------ ----------- inotify_new_watch() allocate a mark (refcnt == 1) add it to the idr inotify_rm_watch() inotify_remove_from_idr() fsnotify_put_mark() refcnt hits 0, free take reference because we are on idr [at this point it is a use after free] [time goes on] refcnt may hit 0 again, double free The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the idr.

Redirecting directly to lsm, here's the patch discussed on lkml: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/219 The mmap_min_addr value is useful information for an admin to see without being root ("is my system vulnerable to kernel NULL pointer attacks?") and its setting is trivially easy for an attacker to determine by calling mmap() in PAGE_SIZE increments starting at 0, so trying to keep it private has no value. Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it.

-
Valentin Longchamp authored
The imx CTS trigger level is left at its reset value that is 32 chars. Since the RX FIFO has 32 entries, when CTS is raised, the FIFO already is full. However, some serial port devices first empty their TX FIFO before stopping when CTS is raised, resulting in lost chars. This patch sets the trigger level lower so that other chars arrive after CTS is raised, there is still room for 16 of them.

Arnd noted: After the "retry_open:" label, we first get the tty_mutex and then the BKL. However a the end of tty_open, we jump back to retry_open with the BKL still held. If we run into this case, the tty_open function will be left with the BKL still held.

In certain circumstances, especially under heavy load, the AUXADC completion interrupt may be detected after we've timed out waiting for it. That conversion would still succeed but the next conversion will see the completion that was signalled by the interrupt for the previous conversion and therefore not wait for the AUXADC conversion to run, causing it to report failure. Provide a simple, non-invasive cleanup by using try_wait_for_completion() to ensure that the completion is not signalled before we wait. Since the AUXADC is run within a mutex we know there can only have been at most one AUXADC interrupt outstanding. A more involved change should follow for the next merge window.

With dma based spi transmission, data corruption is observed occasionally. With dma buffers located right next to msg and xfer fields, cache lines correctly flushed in preparation for dma usage may be polluted again when writing to fields in the same cache line. Make sure cache fields used with dma do not share cache lines with fields changed during dma handling. As both fields are part of a struct that is allocated via kzalloc, thus cache aligned, moving the fields to the 1st position and insert padding for alignment does the job.

Synaptics hardware requires resetting device after suspend to ram in order for the device to be operational. The reset lives in synaptics-specific reconnect handler, but it is not being invoked if synaptics support is disabled and the device is handled as a standard PS/2 device (bare or IntelliMouse protocol). Let's add reset into generic reconnect handler as well. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

The Microblaze implementations of get_user() and (MMU) put_user() evaluate the address argument more than once. This causes unexpected side-effects for invocations that include increment operators, i.e. get_user(foo, bar++). This patch also removes the distinction between MMU and noMMU put_user().

As the processor may not consider GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI as a reason for blocking NMI, it could return immediately with EXIT_REASON_NMI_WINDOW when we asked for it. But as we consider this state as NMI-blocking, we can run into an endless loop. Resolve this by allowing NMI injection if just GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI is active (originally suggested by Gleb). Intel confirmed that this is safe, the processor will never complain about NMI injection in this state.

This patch makes KVM on 32 bit SVM working again by correcting the masks used for iret interception. With the wrong masks the upper 32 bits of the intercepts are masked out which leaves vmrun unintercepted. This is not legal on svm and the vmrun fails.
