commit 82d64699 upstream. A Xen guest never needs to know about extended topology, and knowing would just confuse it. This patch just zeros ebx in leaf 0xb which indicates no topology info, preventing a crash under Xen on cpus which support this leaf. Signed-off-by:

commit 7825cf10 upstream. We never want to rely on the hvc workqueue to emit output, because the most interesting output is when the kernel is broken. This will improve oops/crash/console message for better debugging. Instead, we force-poll until all output is emitted. Signed-off-by:

commit c038e51e upstream. For new stepping of PCH, the display reference clock is fully under driver's control. This one trys to setup all needed reference clock for different outputs. Older stepping of PCH chipset should be ignoring this. This fixes output failure issue on newer PCH which requires driver to take control of reference clock enabling. Signed-off-by:

commit 58a27471 upstream. FDI M/N calculation hasn't taken the current pipe color depth into account, but always set as 24bpp. This one checks current pipe color depth setting, and change FDI M/N calculation a little to use bits_per_pixel first, then convert to bytes_per_pixel later. This fixes display corrupt issue on Arrandle LVDS with 1600x900 panel in 18bpp dual-channel mode. Signed-off-by:

commit b1e19e56 upstream. Bruno Prémont and Dunphy, Bill noticed me that NILFS will certainly hang on ARM-based targets. I found this was caused by an underflow of dirty pages counter. A b-tree cache routine was marking page dirty without adjusting page account information. This fixes the dirty page accounting leak and resolves the hang on arm-based targets. Reported-by:

commit 81766741 upstream. Restoring %ebp after the call to audit_syscall_exit() is not only unnecessary (because the register didn't get clobbered), but in the sysenter case wasn't even doing the right thing: It loaded %ebp from a location below the top of stack (RBP < ARGOFFSET), i.e. arbitrary kernel data got passed back to user mode in the register.

commit 32c5fc10 upstream. In try_to_unuse(), swcount is a local copy of *swap_map, including the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit; but a wrong comparison against swap_count(*swap_map), which masks off the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit, succeeded where it should fail. That had the effect of resetting the mm from which to start searching for the next swap page, to an irrelevant mm instead of to an mm in which this swap page had been found: which may increase search time by ~20%. But we're used to swapoff being slow, so never noticed the slowdown. Remove that one spurious use of swap_count(): Bo Liu thought it merely redundant, Hugh rewrote the description since it was measurably wrong. Signed-off-by:

commit 89a86402 upstream. Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it. The following can be used as a test program: int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;} Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of memory. With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

commit 02dd0a06 upstream. When sending a NMI_VECTOR IPI using the UV_HUB_IPI_INT register, we need to ensure the delivery mode field of that register has NMI delivery selected. This makes those IPIs true NMIs, instead of flat IPIs. It matters to reboot sequences and KGDB, both of which use NMI IPIs. Signed-off-by:

commit 036ed8ba upstream. A few parts of the uv_hub_info structure are initialized incorrectly. - n_val is being loaded with m_val. - gpa_mask is initialized with a bytes instead of an unsigned long. - Handle the case where none of the alias registers are used. Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val which is the correct value. Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode and the bau will not operate. Signed-off-by:

commit 9b1ce526 upstream. When hostapd injects a frame, e.g. an authentication or association response, mac80211 looks for a suitable access point virtual interface to associate the frame with based on its source address. This makes it possible e.g. to correctly assign sequence numbers to the frames. A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a failure to find a suitable ap interface. Sequence numbers on such frames where therefore left unassigned causing some clients (especially windows-based 11b/g clients) to reject them and fail to authenticate or associate with the access point. This patch fixes the typo in the address comparison statement. Signed-off-by:

commit 246eb7f0 upstream. In the case where cpuidle_idle_call() returns before changing state due to a need_resched(), it was returning with IRQs disabled. The idle path assumes that the platform specific idle code returns with interrupts enabled (although this too is undocumented AFAICT) and on ARM we have a WARN_ON(!(irqs_disabled()) when returning from the idle loop, so the user-visible effects were only a warning since interrupts were eventually re-enabled later. On x86, this same problem exists, but there is no WARN_ON() to detect it. As on ARM, the interrupts are eventually re-enabled, so I'm not sure of any actual bugs triggered by this. It's primarily a correctness/consistency fix. This patch ensures IRQs are (re)enabled before returning. Reported-by:

commit e9024a05 upstream. On a 64-bit kernel, skb->tail is an offset, not a pointer. The libertas usb driver passes it to usb_fill_bulk_urb() anyway, causing interesting crashes. Fix that by using skb->data instead. This highlights a problem with usb_fill_bulk_urb(). It doesn't notice when dma_map_single() fails and return the error to its caller as it should. In fact it _can't_ currently return the error, since it returns void. So this problem was showing up only at unmap time, after we'd already suffered memory corruption by doing DMA to a bogus address.

Rusty Russell authored
commit 65afac7d upstream. e180a6b7 "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers accessing random memory. Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all: 1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param. 2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory. The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are root-only writable. Reported-by:

But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the -EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying to register for the same device. Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem. Signed-off-by:

commit 5c36fe3d upstream. As found in <http://bugs.debian.org/550010>, hfsplus is using type u32 rather than sector_t for some sector number calculations.
