commit 7f1950fb upstream. Depending on the SDVO output_flags SDVO may have multiple connectors linking to the same encoder (in intel_connector->encoder->base). Only one of those connectors should be active (ie link to the encoder thru drm_connector->encoder). If intel_connector_break_all_links() is called from intel_sanitize_crtc() we may break the crtc connection of an encoder thru an inactive connector in which case intel_connector_break_all_links() will not be called again for the active connector if this happens to come later in the list due to: if (connector->encoder->base.crtc != &crtc->base) continue; in intel_sanitize_crtc(). This will however leave the drm_connector->encoder linkage for this active connector in place. Subsequently this will cause multiple warnings in intel_connector_check_state() to trigger and the driver will eventually die in drm_encoder_crtc_ok() (because of crtc == NULL). To avoid this remove intel_connector_break_all_links() and move its code to its two calling functions: intel_sanitize_crtc() and intel_sanitize_encoder(). This allows to implement the link breaking more flexibly matching the surrounding code: ie. in intel_sanitize_crtc() we can break the crtc link separatly after the links to the encoders have been broken which avoids above problem. This regression has been introduced in: commit 24929352 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Mon Jul 2 20:28:59 2012 +0200 drm/i915: read out the modeset hw state at load and resume time so goes back to the very beginning of the modeset rework. v2: This patch takes care of the concernes voiced by Chris Wilson and Daniel Vetter that only breaking links if the drm_connector is linked to an encoder may miss some links. v3: move all encoder handling to encoder loop as suggested by Daniel Vetter.

commit 9953599b upstream. ... our current modeset code isn't good enough yet to handle this. The scenario is: 1. BIOS sets up a cloned config with lvds+external screen on the same pipe, e.g. pipe B. 2. We read out that state for pipe B and assign the gmch_pfit state to it. 3. The initial modeset switches the lvds to pipe A but due to lack of atomic modeset we don't recompute the config of pipe B. -> both pipes now claim (in the sw pipe config structure) to use the gmch_pfit, which just won't work.

commit 0f62fb22 upstream. If an md array with externally managed metadata (e.g. DDF or IMSM) is in use, then we should not set safemode==2 at shutdown because: 1/ this is ineffective: user-space need to be involved in any 'safemode' handling, 2/ The safemode management code doesn't cope with safemode==2 on external metadata and md_check_recover enters an infinite loop. Even at shutdown, an infinite-looping process can be problematic, so this could cause shutdown to hang. Signed-off-by:

commit 84ea7fe3 upstream. switch_hrtimer_base() calls hrtimer_check_target() which ensures that we do not migrate a timer to a remote cpu if the timer expires before the current programmed expiry time on that remote cpu. But __hrtimer_start_range_ns() calls switch_hrtimer_base() before the new expiry time is set. So the sanity check in hrtimer_check_target() is operating on stale or even uninitialized data. Update expiry time before calling switch_hrtimer_base(). [ tglx: Rewrote changelog once again ] Signed-off-by:

commit 012a45e3 upstream. If a cpu is idle and starts an hrtimer which is not pinned on that same cpu, the nohz code might target the timer to a different cpu. In the case that we switch the cpu base of the timer we already have a sanity check in place, which determines whether the timer is earlier than the current leftmost timer on the target cpu. In that case we enqueue the timer on the current cpu because we cannot reprogram the clock event device on the target. If the timers base is already the target CPU we do not have this sanity check in place so we enqueue the timer as the leftmost timer in the target cpus rb tree, but we cannot reprogram the clock event device on the target cpu. So the timer expires late and subsequently prevents the reprogramming of the target cpu clock event device until the previously programmed event fires or a timer with an earlier expiry time gets enqueued on the target cpu itself. Add the same target check as we have for the switch base case and start the timer on the current cpu if it would become the leftmost timer on the target.

commit 6c6c0d5a upstream. If the last hrtimer interrupt detected a hang it sets hang_detected=1 and programs the clock event device with a delay to let the system make progress. If hang_detected == 1, we prevent reprogramming of the clock event device in hrtimer_reprogram() but not in hrtimer_force_reprogram(). This can lead to the following situation: hrtimer_interrupt() hang_detected = 1; program ce device to Xms from now (hang delay) We have two timers pending: T1 expires 50ms from now T2 expires 5s from now Now T1 gets canceled, which causes hrtimer_force_reprogram() to be invoked, which in turn programs the clock event device to T2 (5 seconds from now). Any hrtimer_start after that will not reprogram the hardware due to hang_detected still being set. So we effectivly block all timers until the T2 event fires and cleans up the hang situation. Add a check for hang_detected to hrtimer_force_reprogram() which prevents the reprogramming of the hang delay in the hardware timer. The subsequent hrtimer_interrupt will resolve all outstanding issues. [ tglx: Rewrote subject and changelog and fixed up the comment in hrtimer_force_reprogram() ] Signed-off-by:

commit 58b116bc upstream. When the kernel is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT it is possible to reach a state when all modules loaded but some driver still stuck in the deferred list and there is a need for external event to kick the deferred queue to probe these drivers. The issue has been observed on embedded systems with CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled, audio support built as modules and using nfsroot for root filesystem. The following log fragment shows such sequence when all audio modules were loaded but the sound card is not present since the machine driver has failed to probe due to missing dependency during it's probe. The board is am335x-evmsk (McASP<->tlv320aic3106 codec) with davinci-evm machine driver: ... [ 12.615118] davinci-mcasp 4803c000.mcasp: davinci_mcasp_probe: ENTER [ 12.719969] davinci_evm sound.3: davinci_evm_probe: ENTER [ 12.725753] davinci_evm sound.3: davinci_evm_probe: snd_soc_register_card [ 12.753846] davinci-mcasp 4803c000.mcasp: davinci_mcasp_probe: snd_soc_register_component [ 12.922051] davinci-mcasp 4803c000.mcasp: davinci_mcasp_probe: snd_soc_register_component DONE [ 12.950839] davinci_evm sound.3: ASoC: platform (null) not registered [ 12.957898] davinci_evm sound.3: davinci_evm_probe: snd_soc_register_card DONE (-517) [ 13.099026] davinci-mcasp 4803c000.mcasp: Kicking the deferred list [ 13.177838] davinci-mcasp 4803c000.mcasp: really_probe: probe_count = 2 [ 13.194130] davinci_evm sound.3: snd_soc_register_card failed (-517) [ 13.346755] davinci_mcasp_driver_init: LEAVE [ 13.377446] platform sound.3: Driver davinci_evm requests probe deferral [ 13.592527] platform sound.3: really_probe: probe_count = 0 In the log the machine driver enters it's probe at 12.719969 (this point it has been removed from the deferred lists). McASP driver already executing it's probing (since 12.615118). The machine driver tries to construct the sound card (12.950839) but did not found one of the components so it fails. After this McASP driver registers all the ASoC components (the machine driver still in it's probe function after it failed to construct the card) and the deferred work is prepared at 13.099026 (note that this time the machine driver is not in the lists so it is not going to be handled when the work is executing). Lastly the machine driver exit from it's probe and the core places it to the deferred list but there will be no other driver going to load and the deferred queue is not going to be kicked again - till we have external event like connecting USB stick, etc. The proposed solution is to try the deferred queue once more when the last driver is asking for deferring and we had drivers loaded while this last driver was probing. This way we can avoid drivers stuck in the deferred queue. Signed-off-by:

commit 9844f546 upstream. The invalidation is required in order to maintain proper semantics under CoW conditions. In scenarios where a process clones several threads, a thread operating on a core whose DTLB entry for a particular hugepage has not been invalidated, will be reading from the hugepage that belongs to the forked child process, even after hugetlb_cow(). The thread will not see the updated page as long as the stale DTLB entry remains cached, the thread attempts to write into the page, the child process exits, or the thread gets migrated to a different processor.

commit dd18dbc2 upstream. It's critical for split_huge_page() (and migration) to catch and freeze all PMDs on rmap walk. It gets tricky if there's concurrent fork() or mremap() since usually we copy/move page table entries on dup_mm() or move_page_tables() without rmap lock taken. To get it work we rely on rmap walk order to not miss any entry. We expect to see destination VMA after source one to work correctly. But after switching rmap implementation to interval tree it's not always possible to preserve expected walk order. It works fine for dup_mm() since new VMA has the same vma_start_pgoff() / vma_last_pgoff() and explicitly insert dst VMA after src one with vma_interval_tree_insert_after(). But on move_vma() destination VMA can be merged into adjacent one and as result shifted left in interval tree. Fortunately, we can detect the situation and prevent race with rmap walk by moving page table entries under rmap lock. See commit 38a76013. Problem is that we miss the lock when we move transhuge PMD. Most likely this bug caused the crash[1].

commit 98a01e77 upstream. On architectures with sizeof(int) < sizeof (long), the computation of mask inside apply_slack() can be undefined if the computed bit is > 32. E.g. with: expires = 0xffffe6f5 and slack = 25, we get: expires_limit = 0x20000000e bit = 33 mask = (1 << 33) - 1 /* undefined */ On x86, mask becomes 1 and and the slack is not applied properly. On s390, mask is -1, expires is set to 0 and the timer fires immediately. Use 1UL << bit to solve that issue. Suggested-by:

commit 22bbd5d9 upstream. BIT_WORD() truncates rather than rounds, so the loops in syncpt_thresh_isr() and _host1x_intr_disable_all_syncpt_intrs() use <= rather than < in an attempt to process the correct number of registers when rounding of the conversion of count of bits to count of words is necessary. However, when rounding isn't necessary because the value is already a multiple of the divisor (as is the case for all values of nb_pts the code actually sees), this causes one too many registers to be processed. Solve this by using and explicit DIV_ROUND_UP() call, rather than BIT_WORD(), and comparing with < rather than <=. Fixes: 7ede0b0b ("gpu: host1x: Add syncpoint wait and interrupts") Signed-off-by:

commit 1b17844b upstream. fixup_user_fault() is used by the futex code when the direct user access fails, and the futex code wants it to either map in the page in a usable form or return an error. It relied on handle_mm_fault() to map the page, and correctly checked the error return from that, but while that does map the page, it doesn't actually guarantee that the page will be mapped with sufficient permissions to be then accessed. So do the appropriate tests of the vma access rights by hand. [ Side note: arguably handle_mm_fault() could just do that itself, but we have traditionally done it in the caller, because some callers - notably get_user_pages() - have been able to access pages even when they are mapped with PROT_NONE. Maybe we should re-visit that design decision, but in the meantime this is the minimal patch. ] Found by Dave Jones running his trinity tool. Reported-by:

commit 8db6e510 upstream. After hotplugging CPU1 the first call of interrupt handler for CPU1 oneshot timer was called on CPU0 because it fired before setting IRQ affinity. Affected are SoCs where Multi Core Timer interrupts are shared (SPI), e.g. Exynos 4210. During setup of the MCT timers the clock event device should be registered after setting the affinity for interrupt. This will prevent starting the timer too early. Signed-off-by:

commit 30ccf03b upstream. The starting cpu is not yet in the online mask so irq_set_affinity() fails which results in per cpu timers for this cpu ending up on some other online cpu, ususally cpu 0. Use irq_force_affinity() which disables the online mask check and makes things work. Signed-off-by:

commit 01f8fa4f upstream. The current implementation of irq_set_affinity() refuses rightfully to route an interrupt to an offline cpu. But there is a special case, where this is actually desired. Some of the ARM SoCs have per cpu timers which require setting the affinity during cpu startup where the cpu is not yet in the online mask. If we can't do that, then the local timer interrupt for the about to become online cpu is routed to some random online cpu. The developers of the affected machines tried to work around that issue, but that results in a massive mess in that timer code. We have a yet unused argument in the set_affinity callbacks of the irq chips, which I added back then for a similar reason. It was never required so it got not used. But I'm happy that I never removed it. That allows us to implement a sane handling of the above scenario. So the affected SoC drivers can add the required force handling to their interrupt chip, switch the timer code to irq_force_affinity() and things just work. This does not affect any existing user of irq_set_affinity(). Tagged for stable to allow a simple fix of the affected SoC clock event drivers. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit a949ae56 upstream. A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer. CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- load_module() module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING register_ftrace_function() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); ftrace_startup() update_ftrace_function(); ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() set_all_module_text_rw(); <enables-ftrace> ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process() set_all_module_text_ro(); [ here all module text is set to RO, including the module that is loading!! ] blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING); ftrace_init_module() [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails! ftrace_bug() is called] When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot. The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be treated as such. The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

commit dfc44f80 upstream. A few platforms lack a 'device_type = "memory"' for their memory nodes, relying on an old ppc quirk in order to discover its memory. Add the missing data so that all parsing code can find memory nodes correctly. Signed-off-by:

commit f0d71b3d upstream. We happily allow userspace to declare a random kernel thread to be the owner of a user space PI futex. Found while analysing the fallout of Dave Jones syscall fuzzer. We also should validate the thread group for private futexes and find some fast way to validate whether the "alleged" owner has RW access on the file which backs the SHM, but that's a separate issue.

commit 866293ee upstream. Dave Jones trinity syscall fuzzer exposed an issue in the deadlock detection code of rtmutex: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140429151655.GA14277@redhat.com That underlying issue has been fixed with a patch to the rtmutex code, but the futex code must not call into rtmutex in that case because - it can detect that issue early - it avoids a different and more complex fixup for backing out If the user space variable got manipulated to 0x80000000 which means no lock holder, but the waiters bit set and an active pi_state in the kernel is found we can figure out the recursive locking issue by looking at the pi_state owner. If that is the current task, then we can safely return -EDEADLK. The check should have been added in commit 59fa6245 (futex: Handle futex_pi OWNER_DIED take over correctly) already, but I did not see the above issue caused by user space manipulation back then.

commit 8e9cc80a upstream. Use pll_ref instead of pll_re_vco as the pll_e parent on Tegra114. Also add a 12Mhz pll_ref table entry for pll_e for Tegra114. This prevents the system from crashing at bootup because of an unsupported pll_re_vco rate. Signed-off-by:

commit b4b177a5 upstream. Jouni reported that if a remain-on-channel was active on the same channel as the current operating channel, then the ROC would start, but any frames transmitted using mgmt-tx on the same channel would get delayed until after the ROC. The reason for this is that the ROC starts, but doesn't have any handling for "remain on the same channel", so it stops the interface queues. The later mgmt-tx then puts the frame on the interface queues (since it's on the current operating channel) and thus they get delayed until after the ROC. To fix this, add some logic to handle remaining on the same channel specially and not stop the queues etc. in this case. This not only fixes the bug but also improves behaviour in this case as data frames etc. can continue to flow. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:
