Asbjoern Sloth Toennesen 3e805ad288 rtnetlink: rtnl_bridge_getlink: Call nlmsg_find_attr() with ifinfomsg header
Fix the iproute2 command `bridge vlan show`, after switching from
rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg.

Let's start with a little history:

Feb 20:   Vlad Yasevich got his VLAN-aware bridge patchset included in
          the 3.9 merge window.
          In the kernel commit 6cbdceeb, he added attribute support to
          bridge GETLINK requests sent with rtgenmsg.

Mar 6th:  Vlad got this iproute2 reference implementation of the bridge
          vlan netlink interface accepted (iproute2 9eff0e5c)

Apr 25th: iproute2 switched from using rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg (63338dca)
          http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/239602/
          http://marc.info/?t=136680900700007

Apr 28th: Linus released 3.9

Apr 30th: Stephen released iproute2 3.9.0

The `bridge vlan show` command haven't been working since the switch to
ifinfomsg, or in a released version of iproute2. Since the kernel side
only supports rtgenmsg, which iproute2 switched away from just prior to
the iproute2 3.9.0 release.

I haven't been able to find any documentation, about neither rtgenmsg
nor ifinfomsg, and in which situation to use which, but kernel commit
88c5b5ce seams to suggest that ifinfomsg should be used.

Fixing this in kernel will break compatibility, but I doubt that anybody
have been using it due to this bug in the user space reference
implementation, at least not without noticing this bug. That said the
functionality is still fully functional in 3.9, when reversing iproute2
commit 63338dca.

This could also be fixed in iproute2, but thats an ugly patch that would
reintroduce rtgenmsg in iproute2, and from searching in netdev it seams
like rtgenmsg usage is discouraged. I'm assuming that the only reason
that Vlad implemented the kernel side to use rtgenmsg, was because
iproute2 was using it at the time.

yonghua zheng 8c8296223f fs/proc/task_mmu.c: fix buffer overflow in add_page_map()
Recently we met quite a lot of random kernel panic issues after enabling
CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR.  After debuggind we found this has something
to do with following bug in pagemap:

In struct pagemapread:

  struct pagemapread {
      int pos, len;
      pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
      bool v2;
  };

pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of
buffer, it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_page_map() for
checking buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and
random kernel panic issue.

Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.

Lothar Waßmann 28a0c88312 drivers/rtc/rtc-stmp3xxx.c: provide timeout for potentially endless loop polling a HW bit
It's always a bad idea to poll on HW bits without a timeout.

The i.MX28 RTC can be easily brought into a state in which the RTC is
not running (until after a power-on-reset) and thus the status bits
which are polled in the driver won't ever change.

This patch prevents the kernel from getting stuck in this case.

which is a false positive caused by hugetlb pmd sharing code which
allocates a new pmd from withing mapping->i_mmap_mutex.  If this
allocation causes reclaim then the lockdep detector complains that we
might self-deadlock.

This is not correct though, because hugetlb pages are not reclaimable so
their mapping will be never touched from the reclaim path.

The patch tells lockup detector that hugetlb i_mmap_mutex is special by
assigning it a separate lockdep class so it won't report possible
deadlocks on unrelated mappings.

Ed Cashin fb32975d1b aoe: adjust ref of head for compound page tails
Fix a BUG which can trigger when direct-IO is used with AOE.

As discussed previously, the fact that some users of the block layer
provide bios that point to pages with a zero _count means that it is not
OK for the network layer to do a put_page on the skb frags during an
skb_linearize, so the aoe driver gets a reference to pages in bios and
puts the reference before ending the bio.  And because it cannot use
get_page on a page with a zero _count, it manipulates the value
directly.

It is not OK to increment the _count of a compound page tail, though,
since the VM layer will VM_BUG_ON a non-zero _count.  Block users that
do direct I/O can result in the aoe driver seeing compound page tails in
bios.  In that case, the same logic works as long as the head of the
compound page is used instead of the tails.  This patch handles compound
pages and does not BUG.

It relies on the block layer user leaving the relationship between the
page tail and its head alone for the duration between the submission of
the bio and its completion, whether successful or not.

Michal Simek dfa9771a7c microblaze: fix clone syscall
Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6 ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").

The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size.  The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.

This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.

All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.

Cyrill Gorcunov 179ef71cbc mm: save soft-dirty bits on swapped pages
Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set
get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when
pte read back.

To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in
pte entry for the page being swapped out.  When such page is to be read
back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we
clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back.

One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save
the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap.  The _PAGE_PSE was
chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in
pte.

Pravin B Shelar 4221f40513 ip_tunnel: Do not use inner ip-header-id for tunnel ip-header-id.
Using inner-id for tunnel id is not safe in some rare cases.
E.g. packets coming from multiple sources entering same tunnel
can have same id. Therefore on tunnel packet receive we
could have packets from two different stream but with same
source and dst IP with same ip-id which could confuse ip packet
reassembly.

Following patch reverts optimization from commit

Stephen Boyd 40fea92ffb PM / QoS: Fix workqueue deadlock when using pm_qos_update_request_timeout()
pm_qos_update_request_timeout() updates a qos and then schedules
a delayed work item to bring the qos back down to the default
after the timeout. When the work item runs, pm_qos_work_fn() will
call pm_qos_update_request() and deadlock because it tries to
cancel itself via cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Future callers of
that qos will also hang waiting to cancel the work that is
canceling itself. Let's extract the little bit of code that does
the real work of pm_qos_update_request() and call it from the
work function so that we don't deadlock.

Before ed1ac6e (PM: don't use [delayed_]work_pending()) this didn't
happen because the work function wouldn't try to cancel itself.

Stephen Warren 2103f6cba6 ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support
Architectures should fully validate whether kexec is possible as part of
machine_kexec_prepare(), so that user-space's kexec_load() operation can
report any problems. Performing validation in machine_kexec() itself is
too late, since it is not allowed to return.

Prior to this patch, ARM's machine_kexec() was testing after-the-fact
whether machine_kexec_prepare() was able to disable all but one CPU.
Instead, modify machine_kexec_prepare() to validate all conditions
necessary for machine_kexec_prepare()'s to succeed. BUG if the validation
succeeded, yet disabling the CPUs didn't actually work.

Will Deacon c95eb3184e ARM: 7809/1: perf: fix event validation for software group leaders
It is possible to construct an event group with a software event as a
group leader and then subsequently add a hardware event to the group.
This results in the event group being validated by adding all members
of the group to a fake PMU and attempting to allocate each event on
their respective PMU.

Unfortunately, for software events wthout a corresponding arm_pmu, this
results in a kernel crash attempting to dereference the ->get_event_idx
function pointer.

This patch fixes the problem by checking explicitly for software events
and ignoring those in event validation (since they can always be
scheduled). We will probably want to revisit this for 3.12, since the
validation checks don't appear to work correctly when dealing with
multiple hardware PMUs anyway.

Sylwester Nawrocki a701fe3851 clk: exynos4: Add CLK_GET_RATE_NOCACHE flag for the Exynos4x12 ISP clocks
The ISP clock registers belong to the ISP power domain and may change
their values if this power domain is switched off/on. Add
CLK_GET_RATE_NOCACHE flags to ensure we do not rely on invalid cached
data when setting or getting frequency of those clocks.

Without this fix the FIMC-IS Cortex-A5 core and AXI bus clocks have
incorrect frequencies, which breaks the ISP operation and starting the
video pipeline fails with timeouts reported by the FIMC-IS firmware.

Oleg Nesterov e0acd0a68e sched: fix the theoretical signal_wake_up() vs schedule() race
This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed
to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like

	__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	schedule();

can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition,
it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does
not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending).

However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical
section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes
another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with
"if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section.

The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before
spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already
does by the same reason.

We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(),
for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change
the default implementation.

While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers.

Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for
prepare_to_wait().

Johannes Berg 58ad436fcf genetlink: fix family dump race
When dumping generic netlink families, only the first dump call
is locked with genl_lock(), which protects the list of families,
and thus subsequent calls can access the data without locking,
racing against family addition/removal. This can cause a crash.
Fix it - the locking needs to be conditional because the first
time around it's already locked.

A similar bug was reported to me on an old kernel (3.4.47) but
the exact scenario that happened there is no longer possible,
on those kernels the first round wasn't locked either. Looking
at the current code I found the race described above, which had
also existed on the old kernel.

Daniel Borkmann 771085d6bf net: sctp: sctp_transport_destroy{, _rcu}: fix potential pointer corruption
Probably this one is quite unlikely to be triggered, but it's more safe
to do the call_rcu() at the end after we have dropped the reference on
the asoc and freed sctp packet chunks. The reason why is because in
sctp_transport_destroy_rcu() the transport is being kfree()'d, and if
we're unlucky enough we could run into corrupted pointers. Probably
that's more of theoretical nature, but it's safer to have this simple fix.

Introduced by commit 8c98653f ("sctp: sctp_close: fix release of bindings
for deferred call_rcu's"). I also did the 8c98653f regression test and
it's fine that way.

vma_count is used write-only and so fails to be useful. So remove it.

Uwe Kleine-König 7294151d05 uio: provide vm access to UIO_MEM_PHYS maps
This makes it possible to let gdb access mappings of the process that is
being debugged.

uio_mmap_logical was moved and uio_vm_ops renamed to group related code
and differentiate to new stuff.

Tomas Winkler ff96066e31 mei: me: fix hardware reset flow
Both H_IS and H_IE needs to be set to receive H_RDY
interrupt

1. Assert H_IS to clear the interrupts during hw reset
and use mei_me_reg_write instead of mei_hcsr_set as the later
strips down the H_IS

2. fix interrupt disablement embarrassing typo
  hcsr |= ~H_IE -> hcsr &= ~H_IE;
this will remove the unwanted interrupt on power down

3. remove useless debug print outs

Olaf Hering b4fb0ca260 Tools: hv: use full nlmsghdr in netlink_send
There is no need to have a nlmsghdr pointer to another temporary buffer.
Instead use a full struct nlmsghdr.

Olaf Hering 2bc41ea3b3 Tools: hv: correct payload size in netlink_send
netlink_send is supposed to send just the cn_msg+hv_kvp_msg via netlink.
Currently it sets an incorrect iovec size, as reported by valgrind.

In the case of registering with the kernel the allocated buffer is large
enough to hold nlmsghdr+cn_msg+hv_kvp_msg, no overrun happens. In the
case of responding to the kernel the cn_msg is located in the middle of
recv_buffer, after the nlmsghdr. Currently the code in netlink_send adds
also the size of nlmsghdr to the payload. But nlmsghdr is a separate
iovec. This leads to an (harmless) out-of-bounds access when the kernel
processes the iovec. Correct the iovec size of the cn_msg to be just
cn_msg + its payload.
