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.

This reverts commit 977d17bb, because it can cause problems with some devices not getting any resources at all when the resource tree is re-allocated. For an example of this, see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15960 (originally https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4982) (lkml thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/19/20) where Peter Henriksson reported his Xonar DX sound card gone, because the IO port region was no longer allocated.

cachefiles_determine_cache_security() is expected to return with a security override in place. However, if set_create_files_as() fails, we fail to do this. In this case, we should just reinstate the security override that was set by the caller. Furthermore, if set_create_files_as() fails, we should dispose of the new credentials we were in the process of creating.

If there are no active threasd using a semaphore, it is always correct to unqueue blocked threads. This seems to be what was intended in the undo code. What was done instead, was to look for a sem count of zero - this is an impossible situation, given that at least one thread is known to be queued on the semaphore. The code might be correct as written, but it's hard to reason about and it's not what was intended (otherwise the goto out would have been unconditional). Go for checking the active count - the alternative is not worth the headache.

According to memory-barriers.txt, an smp memory barrier in guest should always be paired with an smp memory barrier in host, and I quote "a lack of appropriate pairing is almost certainly an error". In case of vhost, failure to flush out used index update before looking at the interrupt disable flag could result in missed interrupts, resulting in networking hang under stress. This might happen when flags read bypasses used index write. So we see interrupts disabled and do not interrupt, at the same time guest writes flags value to enable interrupt, reads an old used index value, thinks that used ring is empty and waits for interrupt. Note: the barrier we pair with here is in drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c, function vring_enable_cb. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Acked-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>
