commit fd9f26e4 upstream. A control that is visible on the card->controls list can be freed at any time. This means we must not access any of its memory while not holding the controls_rw_lock. Otherwise we risk a use after free access. Signed-off-by:

commit 82262a46 upstream. There are two issues with the current implementation for replacing user controls. The first is that the code does not check if the control is actually a user control and neither does it check if the control is owned by the process that tries to remove it. That allows userspace applications to remove arbitrary controls, which can cause a user after free if a for example a driver does not expect a control to be removed from under its feed. The second issue is that on one hand when a control is replaced the user_ctl_count limit is not checked and on the other hand the user_ctl_count is increased (even though the number of user controls does not change). This allows userspace, once the user_ctl_count limit as been reached, to repeatedly replace a control until user_ctl_count overflows. Once that happens new controls can be added effectively bypassing the user_ctl_count limit. Both issues can be fixed by instead of open-coding the removal of the control that is to be replaced to use snd_ctl_remove_user_ctl(). This function does proper permission checks as well as decrements user_ctl_count after the control has been removed. Note that by using snd_ctl_remove_user_ctl() the check which returns -EBUSY at beginning of the function if the control already exists is removed. This is not a problem though since the check is quite useless, because the lock that is protecting the control list is released between the check and before adding the new control to the list, which means that it is possible that a different control with the same settings is added to the list after the check. Luckily there is another check that is done while holding the lock in snd_ctl_add(), so we'll rely on that to make sure that the same control is not added twice. Signed-off-by:

commit 07f4d9d7 upstream. The user-control put and get handlers as well as the tlv do not protect against concurrent access from multiple threads. Since the state of the control is not updated atomically it is possible that either two write operations or a write and a read operation race against each other. Both can lead to arbitrary memory disclosure. This patch introduces a new lock that protects user-controls from concurrent access. Since applications typically access controls sequentially than in parallel a single lock per card should be fine. Signed-off-by:

commit 2227901a upstream. Currently core file of aarch32 process prstatus note has empty registers set. As result aarch32 core files create by V8 kernel are not very useful. It happens because compat_gpr_get and compat_gpr_set functions can copy registers values to/from either kbuf or ubuf. ELF core file collection function fill_thread_core_info calls compat_gpr_get with kbuf set and ubuf set to 0. But current compat_gpr_get and compat_gpr_set function handle copy to/from only ubuf case. Fix is to handle kbuf and ubuf as two separate cases in similar way as other functions like user_regset_copyout, user_regset_copyin do. Signed-off-by:

commit 34c65c43 upstream. Whilst native arm64 applications don't have the 16-bit UID/GID syscalls wired up, compat tasks can still access them. The 16-bit wrappers for these syscalls use __kernel_old_uid_t and __kernel_old_gid_t, which must be 16-bit data types to maintain compatibility with the 16-bit UIDs used by compat applications. This patch defines 16-bit __kernel_old_{gid,uid}_t types for arm64 instead of using the 32-bit types provided by asm-generic. Signed-off-by:

commit c1688707 upstream. Our compat PTRACE_POKEUSR implementation simply passes the user data to regset_copy_from_user after some simple range checking. Unfortunately, the data in question has already been copied to the kernel stack by this point, so the subsequent access_ok check fails and the ptrace request returns -EFAULT. This causes problems tracing fork() with older versions of strace. This patch briefly changes the fs to KERNEL_DS, so that the access_ok check passes even with a kernel address. Signed-off-by:

commit b0a50e92 upstream. Leandro Liptak reports that his HASEE E200 computer hangs when we ask the BIOS to hand over control of the EHCI host controller. This definitely sounds like a bug in the BIOS, but at the moment there is no way to fix it. This patch works around the problem by avoiding the handoff whenever the motherboard and BIOS version match those of Leandro's computer. Signed-off-by:

commit 12e27b11 upstream. Commit 66345d5f (ACPI / ia64 / sba_iommu: Use ACPI scan handler for device discovery) changed the ordering of SBA (System Bus Adapter) IOMMU initialization with respect to the PCI host bridge initialization which broke things inadvertently, because the SBA IOMMU initialization code has to run after the PCI host bridge has been initialized. Fix that by reworking the SBA IOMMU ACPI scan handler so that it claims the discovered matching ACPI device objects without attempting to initialize anything and move the entire SBA IOMMU initialization to sba_init() that runs after the PCI bus has been enumerated.

commit 68986c9f upstream. This reverts commit e1edf18b. This patch was a misguided attempt at fixing offb for LE ppc64 kernels on BE qemu but is just wrong ... it breaks real LE/LE setups, LE with real HW, and existing mixed endian systems that did the fight thing with the appropriate device-tree property. Bad reviewing on my part, sorry. The right fix is to either make qemu change its endian when the guest changes endian (working on that) or to use the existing foreign endian support. Signed-off-by:

commit 27e35715 upstream. When the rtmutex fast path is enabled the slow unlock function can create the following situation: spin_lock(foo->m->wait_lock); foo->m->owner = NULL; rt_mutex_lock(foo->m); <-- fast path free = atomic_dec_and_test(foo->refcnt); rt_mutex_unlock(foo->m); <-- fast path if (free) kfree(foo); spin_unlock(foo->m->wait_lock); <--- Use after free. Plug the race by changing the slow unlock to the following scheme: while (!rt_mutex_has_waiters(m)) { /* Clear the waiters bit in m->owner */ clear_rt_mutex_waiters(m); owner = rt_mutex_owner(m); spin_unlock(m->wait_lock); if (cmpxchg(m->owner, owner, 0) == owner) return; spin_lock(m->wait_lock); } So in case of a new waiter incoming while the owner tries the slow path unlock we have two situations: unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) == owner mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock); acquire(lock); Or: unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock); cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) != owner enqueue_waiter(); unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); wakeup_next waiter(); unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); acquire(lock); If the fast path is disabled, then the simple m->owner = NULL; unlock(m->wait_lock); is sufficient as all access to m->owner is serialized via m->wait_lock; Also document and clarify the wakeup_next_waiter function as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.

commit 2b85886a upstream. On certain platforms pixel_multiplier is read out in .get_pipe_config(), but it also gets used to calculate the pixel clock in intel_sdvo_get_config(). If the pipe is disable but some SDVO outputs are active, we may end up dividing by zero in intel_sdvo_get_config(). To avoid the problem simply check for zero pixel_multiplier and skip the division. Another attempt at fixing this involved populating pixel_multiplier to 1 even for disabled pipes, but that triggered a WARN because SDVO_CMD_GET_CLOCK_RATE_MULT command failed and thus encoder_pixel_multiplier was left at zero and didn't match pipe_config->pixel_multiplier. The "divide by pixel_multiplier" operation got introduced here: commit 18442d08 Author: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Date: Fri Sep 13 16:00:08 2013 +0300 drm/i915: Fix port_clock and adjusted_mode.clock readout all over and it has caused a regression on certain machines since they would hit the div-by-zero during resume.

commit 0368920e upstream. It causes black screen on bootup and is approximately 100x slower than running with FBC disabled, so the GPU runs at a high frequency for much longer - completely contrary to the power saving claims. It also still has mutex deadlocks in multi-head scenarios, which can lead to a system/X lockup. These bugs were known before FBC was enabled by default on Haswell and still have not been fixed.

commit 82084984 upstream. When we walk the lock chain, we drop all locks after each step. So the lock chain can change under us before we reacquire the locks. That's harmless in principle as we just follow the wrong lock path. But it can lead to a false positive in the dead lock detection logic: T0 holds L0 T0 blocks on L1 held by T1 T1 blocks on L2 held by T2 T2 blocks on L3 held by T3 T4 blocks on L4 held by T4 Now we walk the chain lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> drop locks T2 times out and blocks on L0 Now we continue: lock T2 -> lock L0 -> deadlock detected, but it's not a deadlock at all. Brad tried to work around that in the deadlock detection logic itself, but the more I looked at it the less I liked it, because it's crystal ball magic after the fact. We actually can detect a chain change very simple: lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock; drop locks T2 times out and blocks on L0 Now we continue: lock T2 -> if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock) return; So if we detect that T2 is now blocked on a different lock we stop the chain walk. That's also correct in the following scenario: lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock; drop locks T3 times out and drops L3 T2 acquires L3 and blocks on L4 now Now we continue: lock T2 -> if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock) return; We don't have to follow up the chain at that point, because T2 propagated our priority up to T4 already.

commit 3d5c9340 upstream. Even in the case when deadlock detection is not requested by the caller, we can detect deadlocks. Right now the code stops the lock chain walk and keeps the waiter enqueued, even on itself. Silly not to yell when such a scenario is detected and to keep the waiter enqueued. Return -EDEADLK unconditionally and handle it at the call sites. The futex calls return -EDEADLK. The non futex ones dequeue the waiter, throw a warning and put the task into a schedule loop. Tagged for stable as it makes the code more robust. Signed-off-by:

commit 09869de5 upstream. DM thinp already checks whether the discard_granularity of the data device is a factor of the thin-pool block size. But when using the dm-thin-pool's discard passdown support, DM thinp was not selecting the max of the underlying data device's discard_granularity and the thin-pool's block size. Update set_discard_limits() to set discard_granularity to the max of these values. This enables blkdev_issue_discard() to properly align the discards that are sent to the DM thin device on a full block boundary. As such each discard will now cover an entire DM thin-pool block and the block will be reclaimed. Reported-by:

commit 2426bd45 upstream. When an initiator sends an allocation length bigger than what its command consumes, the target should only return the actual response data and set the residual length to the unused part of the allocation length. Add a helper function that command handlers (INQUIRY, READ CAPACITY, etc) can use to do this correctly, and use this code to get the correct residual for commands that don't use the full initiator allocation in the handlers for READ CAPACITY, READ CAPACITY(16), INQUIRY, MODE SENSE and REPORT LUNS.

The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's default value: __switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm() which calls tm_reclaim_task() which calls tm_reclaim_thread() which calls tm_reclaim() where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default __switch_to() calls _switch() where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual) and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the transaction. The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early in __switch_to(). A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr. Signed-off-by:

commit 23adbe12 upstream. The kernel has no concept of capabilities with respect to inodes; inodes exist independently of namespaces. For example, inode_capable(inode, CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE) would be nonsense. This patch changes inode_capable to check for uid and gid mappings and renames it to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid, which should make it more obvious what it does. Fixes CVE-2014-4014.

commit 938626d9 upstream. Implementation of ->set_timeout() is supposed to set 'timeout' field of 'struct watchdog_device' passed to it. sp805 was rather setting this in a local variable. Fix it. Reported-by:

commit 23afeb61 upstream. On some AR934x based systems, where the frequency of the AHB bus is relatively high, the built-in watchdog causes a spurious restart when it gets enabled. The possible cause of these restarts is that the timeout value written into the TIMER register does not reaches the hardware in time. Add an explicit delay into the ath79_wdt_enable function to avoid the spurious restarts. Signed-off-by:
