commit 454d5d88 upstream. Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly (i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the shared ring while it is being inspected). Safe usage of a request generally requires taking a local copy. Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy(). This takes care of ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible compiler optimizations. Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or omitting the copy. This is part of XSA155. Signed-off-by:

commit 7bd3e239 upstream. The fact that volatile allows for atomic load/stores is a special case not a requirement for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(). Their primary purpose is to force the compiler to emit load/stores _once_. Signed-off-by:

commit dd369297 upstream. The use of READ_ONCE() causes lots of warnings witht he pending paravirt spinlock fixes, because those ends up having passing a member to a 'const' structure to READ_ONCE(). There should certainly be nothing wrong with using READ_ONCE() with a const source, but the helper function __read_once_size() would cause warnings because it would drop the 'const' qualifier, but also because the destination would be marked 'const' too due to the use of 'typeof'. Use a union of types in READ_ONCE() to avoid this issue. Also make sure to use parenthesis around the macro arguments to avoid possible operator precedence issues. Tested-by:

commit 230fa253 upstream. ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145) Let's provide READ_ONCE/ASSIGN_ONCE that will do all accesses via scalar types as suggested by Linus Torvalds. Accesses larger than the machines word size cannot be guaranteed to be atomic. These macros will use memcpy and emit a build warning. Signed-off-by:

commit fbd40ea0 upstream. When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface is removed. And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large: 1) Address promotion. We are deleting all addresses, so there is no point in doing this. 2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address. We only need to do this once, as is already caught by the existing masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this. [mk] 3.12.*: The change in masq_inet_event() needs to be duplicated in both IPv4 and IPv6 version of the function, these two were merged in 3.18. Reported-by:

commit 21b81716 upstream. Commit d63c7dd5 ("ipr: Fix out-of-bounds null overwrite") removed the end of line handling when storing the update_fw sysfs attribute. This changed the userpace API because it started refusing writes terminated by a line feed, which broke the update tools we already have. This patch re-adds that handling, so both a write terminated by a line feed or not can make it through with the update. Fixes: d63c7dd5 ("ipr: Fix out-of-bounds null overwrite") Signed-off-by:

Return value is number of printed chars, can be larger than 2nd argument. Therefore, it can write null byte out of bounds ofbuffer. Since snprintf puts null, it does not need to put additional null byte. Signed-off-by:

Commit 408fb0e5 (xen/pciback: Don't allow MSI-X ops if PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY is not set) prevented enabling MSI-X on passed-through virtual functions, because it checked the VF for PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY but this is not a valid bit for VFs.

commit 408fb0e5 upstream. commit f598282f ("PCI: Fix the NIU MSI-X problem in a better way") teaches us that dealing with MSI-X can be troublesome. Further checks in the MSI-X architecture shows that if the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY bit is turned of in the PCI_COMMAND we may not be able to access the BAR (since they are memory regions). Since the MSI-X tables are located in there.. that can lead to us causing PCIe errors. Inhibit us performing any operation on the MSI-X unless the MEMORY bit is set. Note that Xen hypervisor with: "x86/MSI-X: access MSI-X table only after having enabled MSI-X" will return: xen_pciback: 0000:0a:00.1: error -6 enabling MSI-X for guest 3! When the generic MSI code tries to setup the PIRQ without MEMORY bit set. Which means with later versions of Xen (4.6) this patch is not neccessary. This is part of XSA-157 Reviewed-by:

commit 7cfb905b upstream. Otherwise just continue on, returning the same values as previously (return of 0, and op->result has the PIRQ value). This does not change the behavior of XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x]. The pci_disable_msi or pci_disable_msix have the checks for msi_enabled or msix_enabled so they will error out immediately. However the guest can still call these operations and cause us to disable the 'ack_intr'. That means the backend IRQ handler for the legacy interrupt will not respond to interrupts anymore. This will lead to (if the device is causing an interrupt storm) for the Linux generic code to disable the interrupt line. Naturally this will only happen if the device in question is plugged in on the motherboard on shared level interrupt GSI. This is part of XSA-157 Reviewed-by:

commit a396f3a2 upstream. Otherwise an guest can subvert the generic MSI code to trigger an BUG_ON condition during MSI interrupt freeing: for (i = 0; i < entry->nvec_used; i++) BUG_ON(irq_has_action(entry->irq + i)); Xen PCI backed installs an IRQ handler (request_irq) for the dev->irq whenever the guest writes PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY (or PCI_COMMAND_IO) to the PCI_COMMAND register. This is done in case the device has legacy interrupts the GSI line is shared by the backend devices. To subvert the backend the guest needs to make the backend to change the dev->irq from the GSI to the MSI interrupt line, make the backend allocate an interrupt handler, and then command the backend to free the MSI interrupt and hit the BUG_ON. Since the backend only calls 'request_irq' when the guest writes to the PCI_COMMAND register the guest needs to call XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi before any other operation. This will cause the generic MSI code to setup an MSI entry and populate dev->irq with the new PIRQ value. Then the guest can write to PCI_COMMAND PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY and cause the backend to setup an IRQ handler for dev->irq (which instead of the GSI value has the MSI pirq). See 'xen_pcibk_control_isr'. Then the guest disables the MSI: XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi which ends up triggering the BUG_ON condition in 'free_msi_irqs' as there is an IRQ handler for the entry->irq (dev->irq). Note that this cannot be done using MSI-X as the generic code does not over-write dev->irq with the MSI-X PIRQ values. The patch inhibits setting up the IRQ handler if MSI or MSI-X (for symmetry reasons) code had been called successfully. P.S. Xen PCIBack when it sets up the device for the guest consumption ends up writting 0 to the PCI_COMMAND (see xen_pcibk_reset_device). XSA-120 addendum patch removed that - however when upstreaming said addendum we found that it caused issues with qemu upstream. That has now been fixed in qemu upstream.

commit 5e0ce145 upstream. The guest sequence of: a) XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix b) XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix results in hitting an NULL pointer due to using freed pointers. The device passed in the guest MUST have MSI-X capability. The a) constructs and SysFS representation of MSI and MSI groups. The b) adds a second set of them but adding in to SysFS fails (duplicate entry). 'populate_msi_sysfs' frees the newly allocated msi_irq_groups (note that in a) pdev->msi_irq_groups is still set) and also free's ALL of the MSI-X entries of the device (the ones allocated in step a) and b)). The unwind code: 'free_msi_irqs' deletes all the entries and tries to delete the pdev->msi_irq_groups (which hasn't been set to NULL). However the pointers in the SysFS are already freed and we hit an NULL pointer further on when 'strlen' is attempted on a freed pointer. The patch adds a simple check in the XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix to guard against that. The check for msi_enabled is not stricly neccessary. This is part of XSA-157 Reviewed-by:

commit 8244062e upstream. For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables. There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the module's init section. There's also a cut-down version that only contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core section. After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core versions. We do this under the module_mutex. However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because it's used in the oops path. It's also used in /proc/kallsyms. There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact this is what I saw when trying to reproduce. By grouping these variables together, we can use a carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU callback, so that's safe). We allocate the init one at the end of the module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module core, but that's probably overkill). [ Rebased for 4.4-stable and older, because the following changes aren't in the older trees: - e0224418: adds arg to is_core_symbol - 7523e4dc: module_init/module_core/init_size/core_size become init_layout.base/core_layout.base/init_layout.size/core_layout.size.

commit e246eb56 upstream. Laszlo explains why this is a good idea, 'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables, and (for example) a crash might dump the last kilobytes of the dmesg into a number of pstore entries, each entry backed by a separate UEFI variable in the above GUID namespace, and with a variable name according to the above pattern. Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c". While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log, *without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.' There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by deleting these variables, which is the whole purpose of excluding things from the whitelist. Use the LINUX_EFI_CRASH_GUID guid and a wildcard '*' for the match so that we don't have to update the string in the future if new variable name formats are created for crash dump variables.

commit ed8b0de5 upstream. "rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

commit 7a36b930 upstream. The value 5000 was put here with the addition of the timeout field to ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session. It was originally added in mac80211 to save resources for drivers like iwlwifi, which only supports a limited number of concurrent aggregation sessions. Since iwlwifi does not use minstrel_ht and other drivers don't need this, 0 is a better default - especially since there have been recent reports of aggregation setup related issues reproduced with ath9k. This should improve stability without causing any adverse effects. Acked-by:

commit 8bf86273 upstream. Beniamino reported that he was getting an RTM_NEWLINK message for a given interface, after the RTM_DELLINK for it. It turns out that the message is a wireless extensions message, which was sent because the interface had been connected and disconnection while it was deleted caused a wext message. For its netlink messages, wext uses RTM_NEWLINK, but the message is without all the regular rtnetlink attributes, so "ip monitor link" prints just rudimentary information: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Deleted 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether (from my hwsim reproduction) This can cause userspace to get confused since it doesn't expect an RTM_NEWLINK message after RTM_DELLINK. The reason for this is that wext schedules a worker to send out the messages, and the scheduling delay can cause the messages to get out to userspace in different order. To fix this, have wext register a netdevice notifier and flush out any pending messages when netdevice state changes. This fixes any ordering whenever the original message wasn't sent by a notifier itself. Reported-by:

commit dc17147d upstream. Commit f3775549 ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection. Commit 3a630178 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if a trace event was enabled. Commit f3775549 only stopped the warnings when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace event was called when disabled. To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that it may be used now and in the future. Fixes: f3775549 ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") Fixes: 3a630178 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled") Reported-by:

commit 7099e2e1 upstream. Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least) would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it isn't safe: When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA). There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's memory. (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.) The guest can learn something about the host this way: If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2. After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from host's tracing. This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already overwritten with guest's). We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much. We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that optimization isn't worth its code, IMO. (If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.) Fixes: 26a4f3c0 ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.")

commit 3c4c615d upstream. The Parrot NMEA GPS Flight Recorder is a USB composite device consisting of hub, flash storage, and cp210x usb to serial chip. It is an accessory to the mass-produced Parrot AR Drone 2. The device emits standard NMEA messages which make the it compatible with NMEA compatible software. It was tested using gpsd version 3.11-3 as an NMEA interpreter and using the official Parrot Flight Recorder. Signed-off-by:
