commit b0105eae upstream. Returns an error when an unrecognized cipher code is present in a tag 3 packet or an ecryptfs_crypt_stat cannot be initialized. Also sets an crypt_stat->tfm error pointer to NULL to ensure that it will not be incorrectly freed in ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat(). Acked-by:

commit 580be083 upstream. In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the initialization. Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode from iget_locked(). This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.

commit d68721eb upstream. This brings Alpha AGP platforms in sync with the change to struct agp_memory (unsigned long *memory => struct page **pages). Only compile tested (I don't have titan/marvel hardware), but this change looks pretty straightforward, so hopefully it's ok. Signed-off-by:

commit d08ebedd upstream. Some time ago, I have send a patch to the mmc_spi subsystem changing the error codes. This was after a discussion with Pierre about using EINVAL only for non-recoverable errors. This patch was accepted as http://git.kernel.org/linus/fdd858db7113ca64132de390188d7ca00701013d Unfortunately, several weeks later, I realized that this patch has opened a little can of worms because there are SD cards on the market which a) claim that they support the switch command AND b) refuse to execute this command if operating in SPI mode. So, such a card would get unusuable in an embedded linux system in SPI mode, because the init sequence terminates with an error. This patch adds the missing error codes to the caller of the switch command and restores the old behaviour to fail gracefully if these commands can not execute. Signed-off-by:

commit a9ece53c upstream. Commit b478b782 "kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol name" introduces a "bugfix" that introduces a segfault in kallsyms in my configurations. The cause is the introduction of prefix_underscores_count() which attempts to count underscores, even in symbols that do not have them. As a result, it just uselessly runs past the end of the buffer until it crashes: CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.S /bin/sh: line 1: 16934 Done sh-linux-gnu-nm -n .tmp_vmlinux1 16935 Segmentation fault | scripts/kallsyms > .tmp_kallsyms1.S make: *** [.tmp_kallsyms1.S] Error 139 This simplifies the logic and just does a straightforward count.

commit 2ddce3fd upstream. Attempting to unload a framebuffer module calls unregister_framebuffer() which in turn gets fbcon to release it. If fbcon has no framebuffers linked to a console, it will also unbind itself from the console driver. However, if fbcon never registered itself as a console driver, the unbind will fail causing the framebuffer device entry to persist. In most cases this failure will result in an oops when attempting to access the now non-existent device. This patch ensures that the fbcon unbind request will succeed even if a bind was never done. It tracks if a successful bind ever occurred & will only attempt to unbind if needed. If there never was a bind, it simply returns with no error. Signed-off-by:

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.

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.
