Return -ENODATA when trying to read a user.* attribute which cannot exist: user space otherwise does not have a reasonable way to distinguish between non-existent and inaccessible attributes. Likewise, return -ENODATA when an unprivileged process tries to read a trusted.* attribute: to unprivileged processes, those attributes are invisible (listxattr() won't include them).

Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it. Signed-off-by:

Right now security_get_user_sids() will pass in a NULL avd pointer to avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which then forces that function to have a dummy entry for that case and just generally test it. Don't do it. The normal callers all pass a real avd pointer, and this helper function is incredibly hot. So don't make avc_has_perm_noaudit() do conditional stuff that isn't needed for the common case. This also avoids some duplicated stack space.

The style that we normally use in asm-generic is to test the macro itself for existence, so in asm-generic, do: #ifndef find_next_zero_bit_le extern unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr, unsigned long size, unsigned long offset); #endif and in the architectures, write static inline unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr, unsigned long size, unsigned long offset) #define find_next_zero_bit_le find_next_zero_bit_le This adds the #ifndef for each of the find bitops in the generic header and source files.

Add support for the Maxim/Dallas DS2780 Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC. It was suggested to combine this functionality with the current ds2782 driver. Unfortunately, I'm unable to commit the time to refactoring this driver to that extent and I don't have a platform with the ds2782 part to validate that there are no regression issues by adding this functionality.

The first patch adds generic functionnality to w1_io for Resume Command [A5h] lots of slaves support. I found it useful for multi-commands/reset workflows with the same slave on a multi-slave bus. This DS2408 w1 slave driver is not complete for all the features of the chip, but its sufficient if you use it as a simple IO expander. Enjoy! The ds1wm had Kconfig dependencies towards ARM && HAVE_CLK. I took them out since I was using the ds1wm on an x86_64 platform (ds1wm in a FPGA through pcie) and found them irrelevant. The clock freq/divisors at the top of ds1wm.c did not have the MSB set to 1. This bit is CLK_EN which turns the whole prescaler and dividers on. The driver never mentionned this bit either, so I just included this bit right in the table entries. I also took the liberty to add a couple of entries to the table. The spec doesn't explicitely mentions these possibilities but the description and examination of the core shows the prescalers & dividers can be used for more than the table explicitely shows. The table I enlarged still doesn't cover all possibilities, but it's a good start. I also made a few tweaks to a couple of the read and write algorithms which made sense while I had my head very deep in the ds1wm documentation. We stressed it a lot with 10+ slaves on the bus, many ds2408, ds2431 and ds2433 at the same time doing extensive interaction. It proved quite stable in our production environment. This patch: Add generic functionnality to w1_io for Resume Command [A5h] lots of slaves support. Signed-off-by:

parport_find_number() calls parport_get_port() on its result, so there should be a corresponding call to parport_put_port() before dropping the reference. Similar code is found in the function register_device() in the same file.

Timo Warns authored
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables. This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death"). crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size)); computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes. There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call. A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size. In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow. Validate value of GUID partition table header size.

The balloon driver in a Xen guest frees guest pages and marks them as mmio. When the kernel crashes and the crash kernel attempts to read the oldmem via /proc/vmcore a read from ballooned pages will generate 100% load in dom0 because Xen asks qemu-dm for the page content. Since the reads come in as 8byte requests each ballooned page is tried 512 times. With this change a hook can be registered which checks wether the given pfn is really ram. The hook has to return a value > 0 for ram pages, a value < 0 on error (because the hypercall is not known) and 0 for non-ram pages. This will reduce the time to read /proc/vmcore. Without this change a 512M guest with 128M crashkernel region needs 200 seconds to read it, with this change it takes just 2 seconds. Signed-off-by:

Currently, pagemap_read() has three error and/or corner case handling mistake. (1) If ppos parameter is wrong, mm refcount will be leak. (2) If count parameter is 0, mm refcount will be leak too. (3) If the current task is sleeping in kmalloc() and the system is out of memory and oom-killer kill the proc associated task, mm_refcount prevent the task free its memory. then system may hang up. <Quote Hugh's explain why we shold call kmalloc() before get_mm()> check_mem_permission gets a reference to the mm. If we __get_free_page after check_mem_permission, imagine what happens if the system is out of memory, and the mm we're looking at is selected for killing by the OOM killer: while we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory is freed from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while we hold that reference.

Now, exe_file is not proc FS dependent, so we can use it to name core file. So we add %E pattern for core file name cration which extract path from mm_struct->exe_file. Then it converts slashes to exclamation marks and pastes the result to the core file name itself. This is useful for environments where binary names are longer than 16 character (the current->comm limitation). Also where there are binaries with same name but in a different path. Further in case the binery itself changes its current->comm after exec. So by doing (s/$/#/ -- # is treated as git comment): $ sysctl kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%E' $ ln /bin/cat cat45678901234567890 $ ./cat45678901234567890 ^Z $ rm cat45678901234567890 $ fg ^\Quit (core dumped) $ ls core* we now get: core.2434.cat456789012345.!root!cat45678901234567890 (deleted) Signed-off-by:

Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/. This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc/<pid>/exe. Since we will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the kernel. To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it should belong. By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static. Also we can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c. Signed-off-by:

The Blackfin arch, like the x86 arch, needs to adjust the PC manually after a breakpoint is hit as normally this is handled by the remote gdb.
