[ Upstream commit 93821778 ] The previous patch in response to the recursive locking on IPsec reception is broken as it tries to drop the BH socket lock while in user context. This patch fixes it by shrinking the section protected by the socket lock to sock_queue_rcv_skb only. The only reason we added the lock is for the accounting which happens in that function.

[ Upstream commit add52379 ] If INIT-ACK is received with SupportedExtensions parameter which indicates that the peer does not support AUTH, the packet will be silently ignore, and sctp_process_init() do cleanup all of the transports in the association. When T1-Init timer is expires, OOPS happen while we try to choose a different init transport. The solution is to only clean up the non-active transports, i.e the ones that the peer added. However, that introduces a problem with sctp_connectx(), because we don't mark the proper state for the transports provided by the user. So, we'll simply mark user-provided transports as ACTIVE. That will allow INIT retransmissions to work properly in the sctp_connectx() context and prevent the crash. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 0ef46e28 ] Do not enable peer features like addip and auth, if they are administratively disabled localy. If the peer resports that he supports something that we don't, neither end can use it so enabling it is pointless. This solves a problem when talking to a peer that has auth and addip enabled while we do not. Found by Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul <andrei@iptel.org>. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 1045b03e ] kmemcheck reported this: kmemcheck: Caught 16-bit read from uninitialized memory (f6c1ba30) 0500110001508abf050010000500000002017300140000006f72672e66726565 i i i i i i i i i i i i i u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u ^ Pid: 3462, comm: wpa_supplicant Not tainted (2.6.27-rc3-00054-g6397ab9-dirty #13) EIP: 0060:[<c05de64a>] EFLAGS: 00010296 CPU: 0 EIP is at nla_parse+0x5a/0xf0 EAX: 00000008 EBX: fffffffd ECX: c06f16c0 EDX: 00000005 ESI: 00000010 EDI: f6c1ba30 EBP: f6367c6c ESP: c0a11e88 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 CR0: 8005003b CR2: f781cc84 CR3: 3632f000 CR4: 000006d0 DR0: c0ead9bc DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 DR6: ffff4ff0 DR7: 00000400 [<c05d4b23>] rtnl_setlink+0x63/0x130 [<c05d5f75>] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x165/0x200 [<c05ddf66>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x76/0xa0 [<c05d5dfe>] rtnetlink_rcv+0x1e/0x30 [<c05dda21>] netlink_unicast+0x281/0x290 [<c05ddbe9>] netlink_sendmsg+0x1b9/0x2b0 [<c05beef2>] sock_sendmsg+0xd2/0x100 [<c05bf945>] sys_sendto+0xa5/0xd0 [<c05bf9a6>] sys_send+0x36/0x40 [<c05c03d6>] sys_socketcall+0x1e6/0x2c0 [<c020353b>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x3f [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff This is the line in nla_ok(): /** * nla_ok - check if the netlink attribute fits into the remaining bytes * @nla: netlink attribute * @remaining: number of bytes remaining in attribute stream */ static inline int nla_ok(const struct nlattr *nla, int remaining) { return remaining >= sizeof(*nla) && nla->nla_len >= sizeof(*nla) && nla->nla_len <= remaining; } It turns out that remaining can become negative due to alignment in nla_next(). But GCC promotes "remaining" to unsigned in the test against sizeof(*nla) above. Therefore the test succeeds, and the nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer. A short example illustrating this point is here: #include <stdio.h> main(void) { printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int)); } ...which prints "1". This patch adds a cast in front of the sizeof so that GCC will make a signed comparison and fix the illegal memory dereference. With the patch applied, there is no kmemcheck report. Signed-off-by:

This NULL check exists in other similar paths and this case was just an oversight. Also fix the completely wrong and confusing indentation here while we're at it.

commit 61c22c34 upstream The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected machines. The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of the min_delta_ns value. Signed-off-by:

commit 4ff4b9e1 upstream We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC synchronisation. The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as possible to the middle of a second. Which means we want this function to be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec equals 5e8 (500000000). If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8. The calculated offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the timer. Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode, where the resulting value is rounded up. As a result the range of now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2. As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the same range of now.tv_nsec again. Similarly for cases offsetted by an integer multiple of TICK_NSEC. This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

There seems to be a delay between writing the compare register and the transffer to the internal register which triggers the interrupt.

commit f7676254 upstream We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because: 1) some HPETs are 32bit only 2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and 64 bit. This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit unawareness. unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit. but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless loops.

commit 7cfb0435 upstream The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks, which is stupid as it does not work with faster running HPETs. The C1E idle patches made this prominent on AMD/RS690 chipsets, where the HPET runs with 25MHz. Set it to 5us which seems to be a reasonable value and fixes the problems on the bug reporters machines. We have a further sanity check now in the clock events, which increases the delta when it is not sufficient. Signed-off-by:

commit 1fb9b7d2 upstream The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event. The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again. Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code. Signed-off-by:

commit 9c17bcda upstream While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and the second init could just render it unusable again. Signed-off-by:

commit 7205656a upstream In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event, but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event() and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot(). Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

commit 7c1e7689 upstream There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as event handler, resulting in no timer activity. The problematic path seems to be * old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler * new clockevent device registers with a higher rating * tick_check_new_device() is called * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop. Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler. This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch. This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting with.

commit 9d699ed9 upstream When EC is in Polling mode, OS will check the EC status continually by using the following source code: clear_bit(EC_FLAGS_WAIT_GPE, &ec->flags); while (time_before(jiffies, delay)) { if (acpi_ec_check_status(ec, event)) return 0; msleep(1); } But msleep is realized by the function of schedule_timeout. At the same time although one process is already waken up by some events, it won't be scheduled immediately. So maybe there exists the following phenomena: a. The current jiffies is already after the predefined jiffies. But before timeout happens, OS has no chance to check the EC status again. b. If preemptible schedule is enabled, maybe preempt schedule will happen before checking loop. When the process is resumed again, maybe timeout already happens, which means that OS has no chance to check the EC status. In such case maybe EC status is already what OS expects when timeout happens. But OS has no chance to check the EC status and regards it as AE_TIME. So it will be more appropriate that OS will try to check the EC status again when timeout happens. If the EC status is what we expect, it won't be regarded as timeout. Only when the EC status is not what we expect, it will be regarded as timeout, which means that EC controller can't give a response in time. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9823 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11141Signed-off-by:

commit 479db0bf upstream There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly be accounted for. clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty. page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may be dirty. For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in core mm or in arch which do similar things. The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can lead to data corruption. Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in page_check_address. It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and try_to_unmap. Signed-off-by:

commit 80a8c9ff upstream Vegard Nossum reported oprofile + hibernation problems: > Now some warnings: > > ------------[ cut here ]------------ > WARNING: at /uio/arkimedes/s29/vegardno/git-working/linux-2.6/kernel/smp.c:328 s > mp_call_function_mask+0x194/0x1a0() The usual problem: the suspend function when interrupts are already disabled calls smp_call_function which is not allowed with interrupt off. But at this point all the other CPUs should be already down anyways, so it should be enough to just drop that. This patch should fix that problem at least by fixing cpu hotplug& suspend support.

commit e0d22d03 upstream The fdiv detection code writes s32 integer into the boot_cpu_data.fdiv_bug. However, the boot_cpu_data.fdiv_bug is only char (s8) field so the detection overwrites already set fields for other bugs, e.g. the f00f bug field. Use local s32 variable to receive result. This is a partial fix to Bugzilla #9928 - fixes wrong information about the f00f bug (tested) and probably for coma bug (I have no cpu to test this). Signed-off-by:

commit 8e260c22 upstream Remove the rt2x00 singlethreaded workqueue and move the link tuner and packet filter scheduled work to the ieee80211_hw->workqueue again. The only exception is the interface scheduled work handler which uses the mac80211 interface iterator under the RTNL lock. This work needs to be handled on the kernel workqueue to prevent lockdep issues. Signed-off-by:

This is the backport of the upstream commit 50bed2e2 The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a bug like: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529 James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

CPU apic id is [4,11] instead of [0,7], and we need to check max apic id instead of cpu numbers. also add check for 32 bit when acpi is not compiled in or acpi=off. Signed-off-by:

commit 49048622 upstream Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite the fixes in commit b27f03d4. The suspected reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime() routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch fixes the problem TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt() function for comparison.

commit de59985e upstream After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a long time ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which occurred on the same line. The result is a total failure of the JRE due to LDT selectors not working properly. This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very common, but the bug is quite serious. It got introduced along with another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3eSigned-off-by:

What do you think? restore_fpu_checking() calls init_fpu() in error conditions. While this is wrong(as our main intention is to clear the fpu state of the thread), this was benign before commit 92d140e2 ("x86: fix taking DNA during 64bit sigreturn"). Post commit 92d140e2, live FPU registers may not belong to this process at this error scenario. In the error condition for restore_fpu_checking() (especially during the 64bit signal return), we are doing init_fpu(), which saves the live FPU register state (possibly belonging to some other process context) into the thread struct (through unlazy_fpu() in init_fpu()). This is wrong and can leak the FPU data. For the signal handler restore error condition in restore_i387(), clear the fpu state present in the thread struct(before ultimately sending a SIGSEGV for badframe). For the paranoid error condition check in math_state_restore(), send a SIGSEGV, if we fail to restore the state. Signed-off-by:
