commit 6a1c5312 upstream. TPIDRURW is a user read/write register forming part of the group of thread registers in more recent versions of the ARM architecture (~v6+). Currently, the kernel does not touch this register, which allows tasks to communicate covertly by reading and writing to the register without context-switching affecting its contents. This patch clears TPIDRURW when TPIDRURO is updated via the set_tls macro, which is called directly from __switch_to. Since the current behaviour makes the register useless to userspace as far as thread pointers are concerned, simply clearing the register (rather than saving and restoring it) will not cause any problems to userspace.

commit 64f371bc upstream. The autofs packet size has had a very unfortunate size problem on x86: because the alignment of 'u64' differs in 32-bit and 64-bit modes, and because the packet data was not 8-byte aligned, the size of the autofsv5 packet structure differed between 32-bit and 64-bit modes despite looking otherwise identical (300 vs 304 bytes respectively). We first fixed that up by making the 64-bit compat mode know about this problem in commit a32744d4 ("autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64"), and that made a 32-bit 'systemd' work happily on a 64-bit kernel because everything then worked the same way as on a 32-bit kernel. But it turned out that 'automount' had actually known and worked around this problem in user space, so fixing the kernel to do the proper 32-bit compatibility handling actually *broke* 32-bit automount on a 64-bit kernel, because it knew that the packet sizes were wrong and expected those incorrect sizes. As a result, we ended up reverting that compatibility mode fix, and thus breaking systemd again, in commit fcbf94b9. With both automount and systemd doing a single read() system call, and verifying that they get *exactly* the size they expect but using different sizes, it seemed that fixing one of them inevitably seemed to break the other. At one point, a patch I seriously considered applying from Michael Tokarev did a "strcmp()" to see if it was automount that was doing the operation. Ugly, ugly. However, a prettier solution exists now thanks to the packetized pipe mode. By marking the communication pipe as being packetized (by simply setting the O_DIRECT flag), we can always just write the bigger packet size, and if user-space does a smaller read, it will just get that partial end result and the extra alignment padding will simply be thrown away. This makes both automount and systemd happy, since they now get the size they asked for, and the kernel side of autofs simply no longer needs to care - it could pad out the packet arbitrarily. Of course, if there is some *other* user of autofs (please, please, please tell me it ain't so - and we haven't heard of any) that tries to read the packets with multiple writes, that other user will now be broken - the whole point of the packetized mode is that one system call gets exactly one packet, and you cannot read a packet in pieces.

commit 9883035a upstream. The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that as a special packetized mode. When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer). End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway), and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of the packet. NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF). Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to explicitly support bigger packets some day. The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface, allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes (which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface. Tested-by:

commit c85dcdac upstream. This patch (as1539) fixes a minor bug in the mass-storage gadget drivers. When an unknown command is received, the error code sent back is "Invalid Field in CDB" rather than "Invalid Command". This is because the bitmask of CDB bytes allowed to be nonzero is incorrect. When handling an unknown command, we don't care which command bytes are nonzero. All the bits in the mask should be set, not just eight of them. Signed-off-by:

commit 151b6128 upstream. This patch (as1545) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers: The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers. Users have been forced to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep. After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3 power state. Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3 during system sleep. The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present, and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set. Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend. However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote wakeup requests while the system is asleep. Hence USB wakeup is not functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state of affairs. This fixes Bugzilla #42728. Signed-off-by:

commit 32f6daad upstream. We've been adding new mappings, but not destroying old mappings. This can lead to a page leak as pages are pinned using get_user_pages, but only unpinned with put_page if they still exist in the memslots list on vm shutdown. A memslot that is destroyed while an iommu domain is enabled for the guest will therefore result in an elevated page reference count that is never cleared. Additionally, without this fix, the iommu is only programmed with the first translation for a gpa. This can result in peer-to-peer errors if a mapping is destroyed and replaced by a new mapping at the same gpa as the iommu will still be pointing to the original, pinned memory address.

commit dc75ce9d upstream. This patch (as1542) changes the criterion ehci-hcd uses to tell when it needs to resume the controller's root hub. A resume is needed when a port status change is detected, obviously, but only if the root hub is currently suspended. Right now the driver tests whether the root hub is running, and that is not the correct test. In particular, if the controller has died then the root hub should not be restarted. In addition, some buggy hardware occasionally requires the root hub to be running and sending out SOF packets even while it is nominally supposed to be suspended. In the end, the test needs to be changed. Rather than checking whether the root hub is currently running, the driver will now check whether the root hub is currently suspended. This will yield the correct behavior in all cases. Signed-off-by:

commit 6651819b upstream. We seem to have a decent confusion between the output timings and the input timings of the sdvo encoder. If I understand the code correctly, we use the original mode unchanged for the output timings, safe for the lvds case. And we should use the adjusted mode for input timings. Clarify the situation by adding an explicit output_dtd to the sdvo mode_set function and streamline the code-flow by moving the input and output mode setting in the sdvo encode together. Furthermore testing showed that the sdvo input timing needs the unadjusted dotclock, the sdvo chip will automatically compute the required pixel multiplier to get a dotclock above 100 MHz. Fix this up when converting a drm mode to an sdvo dtd. This regression was introduced in commit c74696b9 Author: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Date: Thu Sep 2 14:46:34 2010 -0400 i915: revert some checks added by commit 32aad86f particularly the following hunk: # diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_sdvo.c # b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_sdvo.c # index 093e914..62d22ae 100644 # --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_sdvo.c # +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_sdvo.c # @@ -1122,11 +1123,9 @@ static void intel_sdvo_mode_set(struct drm_encoder *encoder, # # /* We have tried to get input timing in mode_fixup, and filled into # adjusted_mode */ # - if (intel_sdvo->is_tv || intel_sdvo->is_lvds) { # - intel_sdvo_get_dtd_from_mode(&input_dtd, adjusted_mode); # + intel_sdvo_get_dtd_from_mode(&input_dtd, adjusted_mode); # + if (intel_sdvo->is_tv || intel_sdvo->is_lvds) # input_dtd.part2.sdvo_flags = intel_sdvo->sdvo_flags; # - } else # - intel_sdvo_get_dtd_from_mode(&input_dtd, mode); # # /* If it's a TV, we already set the output timing in mode_fixup. # * Otherwise, the output timing is equal to the input timing. Due to questions raised in review, below a more elaborate analysis of the bug at hand: Sdvo seems to have two timings, one is the output timing which will be sent over whatever is connected on the other side of the sdvo chip (panel, hdmi screen, tv), the other is the input timing which will be generated by the gmch pipe. It looks like sdvo is expected to scale between the two. To make things slightly more complicated, we have a bunch of special cases: - For lvds panel we always use a fixed output timing, namely intel_sdvo->sdvo_lvds_fixed_mode, hence that special case. - Sdvo has an interface to generate a preferred input timing for a given output timing. This is the confusing thing that I've tried to clear up with the follow-on patches. - A special requirement is that the input pixel clock needs to be between 100MHz and 200MHz (likely to keep it within the electromechanical design range of PCIe), 270MHz on later gen4+. Lower pixel clocks are doubled/quadrupled. The thing this patch tries to fix is that the pipe needs to be explicitly instructed to double/quadruple the pixels and needs the correspondingly higher pixel clock, whereas the sdvo adaptor seems to do that itself and needs the unadjusted pixel clock. For the sdvo encode side we already set the pixel mutliplier with a different command (0x21). This patch tries to fix this mess by: - Keeping the output mode timing in the unadjusted plain mode, safe for the lvds case. - Storing the input timing in the adjusted_mode with the adjusted pixel clock. This way we don't need to frob around with the core crtc mode set code. - Fixing up the pixelclock when constructing the sdvo dtd timing struct. This is why the first hunk of the patch is an integral part of the series. - Dropping the is_tv special case because input_dtd is equivalent to adjusted_mode after these changes. Follow-up patches clear this up further (by simply ripping out intel_sdvo->input_dtd because it's not needed). v2: Extend commit message with an in-depth bug analysis. Reported-and-Tested-by:

commit 00250ec9 upstream. Newer BKDG[1] versions recommend a different initialization value for the running average range register in the northbridge. This improves the power reading by avoiding counter saturations resulting in bogus values for anything below about 80% of TDP power consumption. Updated BIOSes will have this new value set up from the beginning, but meanwhile we correct this value ourselves. This needs to be done on all northbridges, even on those where the driver itself does not register at. This fixes the driver on all current machines to provide proper values for idle load.

commit ed8b0d67 upstream. This loop on EBCISR register was designed to clear IRQ sources before enabling a DMA channel. This register is clear-on-read so a race condition can appear if another channel is already active and has just finished its transfer. Removing this read on EBCISR is fixing the issue as there is no case where an IRQ could be pending: we already make sure that this register is drained at probe() time and during resume.

commit fcbf94b9 upstream. This reverts commit a32744d4. While that commit was technically the right thing to do, and made the x86-64 compat mode work identically to native 32-bit mode (and thus fixing the problem with a 32-bit systemd install on a 64-bit kernel), it turns out that the automount binaries had workarounds for this compat problem. Now, the workarounds are disgusting: doing an "uname()" to find out the architecture of the kernel, and then comparing it for the 64-bit cases and fixing up the size of the read() in automount for those. And they were confused: it's not actually a generic 64-bit issue at all, it's very much tied to just x86-64, which has different alignment for an 'u64' in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit mode. But the end result is that fixing the compat layer actually breaks the case of a 32-bit automount on a x86-64 kernel. There are various approaches to fix this (including just doing a "strcmp()" on current->comm and comparing it to "automount"), but I think that I will do the one that teaches pipes about a special "packet mode", which will allow user space to not have to care too deeply about the padding at the end of the autofs packet. That change will make the compat workaround unnecessary, so let's revert it first, and get automount working again in compat mode. The packetized pipes will then fix autofs for systemd.

commit cbf2829b upstream. Current APIC code assumes MSR_IA32_APICBASE is present for all systems. Pentium Classic P5 and friends didn't have this MSR. MSR_IA32_APICBASE was introduced as an architectural MSR by Intel @ P6. Code paths that can touch this MSR invalidly are when vendor == Intel && cpu-family == 5 and APIC bit is set in CPUID - or when you simply pass lapic on the kernel command line, on a P5. The below patch stops Linux incorrectly interfering with the MSR_IA32_APICBASE for P5 class machines. Other code paths exist that touch the MSR - however those paths are not currently reachable for a conformant P5. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit d135c522 ] Commit f5fff5dc forgot to fix TCP_MAXSEG behavior IPv6 sockets, so IPv6 TCP server sockets that used TCP_MAXSEG would find that the advmss of child sockets would be incorrect. This commit mirrors the advmss logic from tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock. Eventually this logic should probably be shared between IPv4 and IPv6, but this at least fixes this issue.

[ Upstream commit 3adadc08 ] While reviewing the sysctl code in ax25 I spotted races in ax25_exit where it is possible to receive notifications and packets after already freeing up some of the data structures needed to process those notifications and updates. Call unregister_netdevice_notifier early so that the rest of the cleanup code does not need to deal with network devices. This takes advantage of my recent enhancement to unregister_netdevice_notifier to send unregister notifications of all network devices that are current registered. Move the unregistration for packet types, socket types and protocol types before we cleanup any of the ax25 data structures to remove the possibilities of other races. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 716af4ab ] MAX_ADDR_LEN is 32. ETH_ALEN is 6. mac->sa_data is a 14 byte array, so the memcpy() is doing a read past the end of the array. I asked about this on netdev and Ben Hutchings told me it's supposed to be copying ETH_ALEN bytes (thanks Ben). Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 4d846f02 ] tcp_grow_window() has to grow rcv_ssthresh up to window_clamp, allowing sender to increase its window. tcp_grow_window() still assumes a tcp frame is under MSS, but its no longer true with LRO/GRO. This patch fixes one of the performance issue we noticed with GRO on. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 890fdf2a ] In register_netdevice(), when ndo_init() is successful and later some error occurred, ndo_uninit() will be called. So dummy deivce is desirable to implement ndo_uninit() method to free percpu stats for this case. And, ndo_uninit() is also called along with dev->destructor() when device is unregistered, so in order to prevent dev->dstats from being freed twice, dev->destructor is modified to free_netdev().
