[ Upstream commit e072b3fa ] Bug: The VLAN bit of the MAC RX Status Word is unreliable in several older supported chips. Sometimes the VLAN bit is not set for valid VLAN packets and also sometimes the VLAN bit is set for non-VLAN packets that came after a VLAN packet. This results in a receive length error when VLAN hardware tagging is enabled. Fix: Variation on original fix proposed by Mirko. The VLAN information is decoded in the status loop, and can be applied to the received SKB there. This eliminates the need for the separate tag field in the interface data structure. The tag has to be copied and cleared if packet is copied. This version checked out with vlan and normal traffic. Note: vlan_tx_tag_present should be renamed vlan_tag_present, but that is outside scope of this. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 3f42941b ] When a small packet is received, the driver copies it to a new skb to allow reusing the full size Rx buffer. The copy was propogating the checksum offload but not the receive hash information. The bug is impact was mostly harmless and therefore not observed until reviewing this area of code. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 7d3d43da ] We already synthesize events in register_netdevice_notifier and synthesizing events in unregister_netdevice_notifier allows to us remove the need for special case cleanup code. This change should be safe as it adds no new cases for existing callers of unregiser_netdevice_notifier to handle. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2a580949 ] The asix.c USB Ethernet driver avoids ending a tx transfer with a zero- length packet by appending a four-byte padding to transfers whose length is a multiple of maxpacket. However, the hard-coded 512 byte maxpacket length is valid for high-speed USB only; full-speed USB uses 64 byte packets. Signed-off-by:

commit fde165b2 upstream. Commit 4e8ee7de (ARM: SMP: use idmap_pgd for mapping MMU enable during secondary booting) switched secondary boot to use idmap_pgd, which is initialized during early_initcall, instead of a page table initialized during __cpu_up. This causes idmap_pgd to contain the static mappings but be missing all dynamic mappings. If a console is registered that creates a dynamic mapping, the printk in secondary_start_kernel will trigger a data abort on the missing mapping before the exception handlers have been initialized, leading to a hang. Initial boot is not affected because no consoles have been registered, and resume is usually not affected because the offending console is suspended. Onlining a cpu with hotplug triggers the problem. A workaround is to the printk in secondary_start_kernel until after the page tables have been switched back to init_mm. Signed-off-by:

commit e787ec13 upstream. The inline assembly in kernel_execve() uses r8 and r9. Since this code sequence does not return, it usually doesn't matter if the register clobber list is accurate. However, I saw a case where a particular version of gcc used r8 as an intermediate for the value eventually passed to r9. Because r8 is used in the inline assembly, and not mentioned in the clobber list, r9 was set to an incorrect value. This resulted in a kernel panic on execution of the first user-space program in the system. r9 is used in ret_to_user as the thread_info pointer, and if it's wrong, bad things happen. Signed-off-by:

commit 2f624278 upstream. We really need to use a ACCESS_ONCE() on the sequence value read in __read_seqcount_begin(), because otherwise the compiler might end up reloading the value in between the test and the return of it. As a result, it might end up returning an odd value (which means that a write is in progress). If the reader is then fast enough that that odd value is still the current one when the read_seqcount_retry() is done, we might end up with a "successful" read sequence, even despite the concurrent write being active. In practice this probably never really happens - there just isn't anything else going on around the read of the sequence count, and the common case is that we end up having a read barrier immediately afterwards. So the code sequence in which gcc might decide to reaload from memory is small, and there's no reason to believe it would ever actually do the reload. But if the compiler ever were to decide to do so, it would be incredibly annoying to debug. Let's just make sure. Signed-off-by:

commit d5e28005 upstream. With the embed percpu first chunk allocator, x86 uses either PAGE_SIZE or PMD_SIZE for atom_size. PMD_SIZE is used when CPU supports PSE so that percpu areas are aligned to PMD mappings and possibly allow using PMD mappings in vmalloc areas in the future. Using larger atom_size doesn't waste actual memory; however, it does require larger vmalloc space allocation later on for !first chunks. With reasonably sized vmalloc area, PMD_SIZE shouldn't be a problem but x86_32 at this point is anything but reasonable in terms of address space and using larger atom_size reportedly leads to frequent percpu allocation failures on certain setups. As there is no reason to not use PMD_SIZE on x86_64 as vmalloc space is aplenty and most x86_64 configurations support PSE, fix the issue by always using PMD_SIZE on x86_64 and PAGE_SIZE on x86_32. v2: drop cpu_has_pse test and make x86_64 always use PMD_SIZE and x86_32 PAGE_SIZE as suggested by hpa.

commit b7e5ffe5 upstream. If I try to do "cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables" I end up with: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc7fffffff000 IP: [<ffffffff8106aa51>] ptdump_show+0x221/0x480 PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 0 .. snip.. RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffc00000000fff RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000800000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffc7fffffff000 which is due to the fact we are trying to access a PFN that is not accessible to us. The reason (at least in this case) was that PGD[256] is set to __HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START which was setup (by the hypervisor) to point to a read-only linear map of the MFN->PFN array. During our parsing we would get the MFN (a valid one), try to look it up in the MFN->PFN tree and find it invalid and return ~0 as PFN. Then pte_mfn_to_pfn would happilly feed that in, attach the flags and return it back to the caller. 'ptdump_show' bitshifts it and gets and invalid value that it tries to dereference. Instead of doing all of that, we detect the ~0 case and just return !_PAGE_PRESENT. This bug has been in existence .. at least until 2.6.37 (yikes!) Signed-off-by:

commit c308b56b upstream. [ backported to 3.0 by Kerin Millar <kerframil@gmail.com>] Various people reported nohz load tracking still being wrecked, but Doug spotted the actual problem. We fold the nohz remainder in too soon, causing us to loose samples and under-account. So instead of playing catch-up up-front, always do a single load-fold with whatever state we encounter and only then fold the nohz remainder and play catch-up. Reported-by:

commit 328c32f0 upstream. Currently SDIO glue frees it's own structure before calling wl1251_free_hw(), which in turn calls ieee80211_unregister_hw(). The later call may result in a need to communicate with the chip to stop it (as it happens now if the interface is still up before rmmod), which means calls are made back to the glue, resulting in freed memory access. Fix this by freeing glue data last. Signed-off-by:

commit 66f2c99a upstream. EAP frames for stations in an AP VLAN are sent on the main AP interface to avoid race conditions wrt. moving stations. For that to work properly, sta_info_get_bss must be used instead of sta_info_get when sending EAP packets. Previously this was only done for cooked monitor injected packets, so this patch adds a check for tx->skb->protocol to the same place. Signed-off-by:

commit dd447319 upstream. Driver incorrectly validates command completion: instead of waiting for a command to be acknowledged it continues execution. Most of the time driver gets acknowledge of the command completion in a tasklet before it executes the next one. But sometimes it sends the next command before it gets acknowledge for the previous one. In such a case one of the following error messages appear in the log: Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command. Failed to send ASSOCIATE: Already sending a command. Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command. After that you need to reload the driver to get it working again. This bug occurs during roaming (reported by Sam Varshavchik) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738508 and machine booting (reported by Tom Gundersen and Mads Kiilerich) https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28097 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802106 This patch doesn't fix the delay issue during firmware load.

commit fec6c20b upstream. A common flaw in UEFI systems is a refusal to POST triggered by a malformed boot variable. Once in this state, machines may only be restored by reflashing their firmware with an external hardware device. While this is obviously a firmware bug, the serious nature of the outcome suggests that operating systems should filter their variable writes in order to prevent a malicious user from rendering the machine unusable.

commit a2940908 upstream. Fix the string functions in the efivars driver to be called utf16_* instead of utf8_* as the encoding is utf16, not utf8. As well, rename utf16_strlen to utf16_strnlen as it takes a maxlength argument and the name should be consistent with the standard C function names. utf16_strlen is still provided for convenience in a subsequent patch.

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:
