commit 6da25bf5 upstream. X40 (firmware 1V) and T41 (firmware 1R) have been confirmed to work well with the new defaults, so we can stop pestering people to confirm that fact. For now, whitelist just these two firmware types. It is best to have at least one more firmware type confirmed for Radeon 9xxx and Intel GMA-2 ThinkPads before removing the confirmation requests entirely. Reported-by:

commit c47efe55 upstream. The arch/*/boot/Makefile use cc-options to check for GCC command options and cc-options use the hardened specs when checking for GCC command options. When -fPIE is pass to cc1 it can't use -ffreestanding or -fno-toplevel-reorder. Then it fail to build stuff with -ffreestanding and -fno-toplevel-reorder. Thanks to Fredric Johansson for finding the main problem behind a failed build using a hardened toolchain. Signed-off-by:

commit 80938332 upstream. Currently we are not including randomized stack size when calculating mmap_base address in arch_pick_mmap_layout for topdown case. This might cause that mmap_base starts in the stack reserved area because stack is randomized by 1GB for 64b (8MB for 32b) and the minimum gap is 128MB. If the stack really grows down to mmap_base then we can get silent mmap region overwrite by the stack values. Let's include maximum stack randomization size into MIN_GAP which is used as the low bound for the gap in mmap. Signed-off-by:

commit 90950a25 upstream. On a Compaq Presario V3000 laptop (NVIDIA MCP51 chipset), pata_amd selects PIO0 mode for the PATA DVD-RAM drive instead of MWDMA2 which it supports: ata4.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4084N, KQ09, max MWDMA2 ata4: nv_mode_filter: 0x39f&0x7001->0x1, BIOS=0x0 (0x0) ACPI=0x7001 (60:600:0x11) ata4.00: configured for PIO0 For some reason, the BIOS-set UDMA configuration returns 0 and the ACPI _GTM reports that UDMA2 and PIO0 are enabled. This causes nv_mode_filter to end up allowing only PIO0 and UDMA0-2. Since the drive doesn't support UDMA we end up using PIO0. Since the controllers should always support PIO4, MWDMA2 and UDMA2 regardless of what cable type is used, let's make sure we don't filter out these modes regardless of what wacky settings the BIOS is using.

commit 46db2f86 upstream. The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

commit 07708c4a upstream. So far unprivileged guest callers running in ring 3 can issue, e.g., MMU hypercalls. Normally, such callers cannot provide any hand-crafted MMU command structure as it has to be passed by its physical address, but they can still crash the guest kernel by passing random addresses. To close the hole, this patch considers hypercalls valid only if issued from guest ring 0. This may still be relaxed on a per-hypercall base in the future once required. Signed-off-by:

commit a20316d2 upstream. The use of __pa() to calculate the address of a C-visible symbol is wrong, and can lead to unpredictable results. See arch/x86/include/asm/page.h for details. It should be replaced with __pa_symbol(), that does the correct math here, by taking relocations into account. This ensures the correct wallclock data structure physical address is passed to the hypervisor. Signed-off-by:

commit 6ba66178 upstream. Commit b8bcfe99 made paravirt pte updates synchronous in interrupt context. Unfortunately the KVM pv mmu code caches the lazy/nonlazy mode internally, so a pte update from interrupt context during a lazy mmu operation can be batched while it should be performed synchronously. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518022 Drop the internal mode variable and use paravirt_get_lazy_mode(), which returns the correct state.

commit 7929eb9c upstream. Let's suppose a highmem page is kmap'd with kmap(). A pkmap entry is used, the page mapped to it, and the virtual cache is dirtied. Then kunmap() is used which does virtually nothing except for decrementing a usage count. Then, let's suppose the _same_ page gets mapped using kmap_atomic(). It is therefore mapped onto a fixmap entry instead, which has a different virtual address unaware of the dirty cache data for that page sitting in the pkmap mapping. Fortunately it is easy to know if a pkmap mapping still exists for that page and use it directly with kmap_atomic(), thanks to kmap_high_get(). And actual testing with a printk in the added code path shows that this condition is actually met *extremely* frequently. Seems that we've been quite lucky that things have worked so well with highmem so far. Signed-off-by:

commit 1ea0d14e upstream. The Intel Optimization Reference Guide says: In Intel Atom microarchitecture, the address generation unit assumes that the segment base will be 0 by default. Non-zero segment base will cause load and store operations to experience a delay. - If the segment base isn't aligned to a cache line boundary, the max throughput of memory operations is reduced to one [e]very 9 cycles. [...] Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 15. (H impact, ML generality) For Intel Atom processors, use segments with base set to 0 whenever possible; avoid non-zero segment base address that is not aligned to cache line boundary at all cost. We can't avoid having a non-zero base for the stack-protector segment, but we can make it cache-aligned. Signed-off-by:

commit 506d4bc8 upstream. The current noise computation does: \Sum abs(n_i - avg(n)) * N^-1.5 Which is (afaik) not a regular noise function, and needs the complete sample set available to post-process. Change this to use a regular stddev computation which can be done by keeping a two sums: stddev = sqrt( 1/N (\Sum n_i^2) - avg(n)^2 ) For which we only need to keep \Sum n_i and \Sum n_i^2.

commit fa0681d2 upstream. The current implementation allocates a single host page for EQ context memory, which was OK when we only allocated a few EQs. However, since we now allocate an EQ for each CPU core, this patch removes the hard-coded limit (which we exceed with 4 KB pages and 128 byte EQ context entries with 32 CPUs) and uses the same ICM table code as all other context tables, which ends up simplifying the code quite a bit while fixing the problem. This problem was actually hit in practice on a dual-socket Nehalem box with 16 real hardware threads and sufficiently odd ACPI tables that it shows on boot SMP: Allowing 32 CPUs, 16 hotplug CPUs so num_possible_cpus() ends up 32, and mlx4 ends up creating 33 MSI-X interrupts and 33 EQs. This mlx4 bug means that mlx4 can't even initialize at all on this quite mainstream system. Reported-by:

commit f1bc07af upstream. When the volume is changed continuously (e.g., when the user drags a volume slider with the mouse), the driver does lots of I2C writes. Apparently, the sound chip can get confused when we poll the I2C status register too much, and fails to complete a read from it. On the PCI-E models, the PCI-E/PCI bridge gets upset by this and generates a machine check exception. To avoid this, this patch replaces the polling with an unconditional wait that is guaranteed to be long enough. Signed-off-by:

commit a6dbf93a upstream. Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter won't count anything. Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem: - oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca. This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore the PMU config. - The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear when it finishes. - oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs, which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag. This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller. This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it isn't defined anywhere. Reported-by:
