      Make TASKSTATS require root access · 6824291b
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      commit 1a51410a upstream.

Ok, this isn't optimal, since it means that 'iotop' needs admin
capabilities, and we may have to work on this some more.  But at the
same time it is very much not acceptable to let anybody just read
anybody elses IO statistics quite at this level.

Use of the GENL_ADMIN_PERM suggested by Johannes Berg as an alternative
to checking the capabilities by hand.

      jbd/jbd2: validate sb->s_first in journal_get_superblock() · 90384625
      Eryu Guan authored 
      commit 8762202d upstream.

I hit a J_ASSERT(blocknr != 0) failure in cleanup_journal_tail() when
mounting a fsfuzzed ext3 image. It turns out that the corrupted ext3
image has s_first = 0 in journal superblock, and the 0 is passed to
journal->j_head in journal_reset(), then to blocknr in
cleanup_journal_tail(), in the end the J_ASSERT failed.

So validate s_first after reading journal superblock from disk in
journal_get_superblock() to ensure s_first is valid.

The following script could reproduce it:

fstype=ext3
blocksize=1024
img=$fstype.img
offset=0
found=0
magic="c0 3b 39 98"

dd if=/dev/zero of=$img bs=1M count=8
mkfs -t $fstype -b $blocksize -F $img
filesize=`stat -c %s $img`
while [ $offset -lt $filesize ]
do
        if od -j $offset -N 4 -t x1 $img | grep -i "$magic";then
                echo "Found journal: $offset"
                found=1
                break
        fi
        offset=`echo "$offset+$blocksize" | bc`
done

if [ $found -ne 1 ];then
        echo "Magic \"$magic\" not found"
        exit 1
fi

dd if=/dev/zero of=$img seek=$(($offset+23)) conv=notrunc bs=1 count=1

mkdir -p ./mnt
mount -o loop $img ./mnt

      linux/log2.h: Fix rounddown_pow_of_two(1) · 2b8efc69
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      commit 13c07b02 upstream.

Exactly like roundup_pow_of_two(1), the rounddown version was buggy for
the case of a compile-time constant '1' argument.  Probably because it
originated from the same code, sharing history with the roundup version
from before the bugfix (for that one, see commit 1a06a52e: "Fix
roundup_pow_of_two(1)").

However, unlike the roundup version, the fix for rounddown is to just
remove the broken special case entirely.  It's simply not needed - the
generic code

    1UL << ilog2(n)

does the right thing for the constant '1' argment too.  The only reason
roundup needed that special case was because rounding up does so by
subtracting one from the argument (and then adding one to the result)
causing the obvious problems with "ilog2(0)".

But rounddown doesn't do any of that, since ilog2() naturally truncates
(ie "rounds down") to the right rounded down value.  And without the
ilog2(0) case, there's no reason for the special case that had the wrong
value.

tl;dr: rounddown_pow_of_two(1) should be 1, not 0.

      Tushar Gohad authored 
      commit 4203223a upstream.

Fix the min and max bit lengths for AES-CTR (RFC3686) keys.
The number of bits in key spec is the key length (128/256)
plus 32 bits of nonce.

This change takes care of the "Invalid key length" errors
reported by setkey when specifying 288 bit keys for aes-ctr.

      percpu: fix chunk range calculation · f9da6299
      Tejun Heo authored 
      commit a855b84c upstream.

Percpu allocator recorded the cpus which map to the first and last
units in pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu respectively and used them to
determine the address range of a chunk - e.g. it assumed that the
first unit has the lowest address in a chunk while the last unit has
the highest address.

This simply isn't true.  Groups in a chunk can have arbitrary positive
or negative offsets from the previous one and there is no guarantee
that the first unit occupies the lowest offset while the last one the
highest.

Fix it by actually comparing unit offsets to determine cpus occupying
the lowest and highest offsets.  Also, rename pcu_first/last_unit_cpu
to pcpu_low/high_unit_cpu to avoid confusion.

The chunk address range is used to flush cache on vmalloc area
map/unmap and decide whether a given address is in the first chunk by
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() and the bug was discovered by invalid
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() translation for crash_note.

Kudos to Dave Young for tracking down the problem.

      oprofile: Fix locking dependency in sync_start() · 41f7082e
      Robert Richter authored 
      commit 130c5ce7 upstream.

This fixes the A->B/B->A locking dependency, see the warning below.

The function task_exit_notify() is called with (task_exit_notifier)
.rwsem set and then calls sync_buffer() which locks buffer_mutex. In
sync_start() the buffer_mutex was set to prevent notifier functions to
be started before sync_start() is finished. But when registering the
notifier, (task_exit_notifier).rwsem is locked too, but now in
different order than in sync_buffer(). In theory this causes a locking
dependency, what does not occur in practice since task_exit_notify()
is always called after the notifier is registered which means the lock
is already released.

However, after checking the notifier functions it turned out the
buffer_mutex in sync_start() is unnecessary. This is because
sync_buffer() may be called from the notifiers even if sync_start()
did not finish yet, the buffers are already allocated but empty. No
need to protect this with the mutex.

So we fix this theoretical locking dependency by removing buffer_mutex
in sync_start(). This is similar to the implementation before commit:

 750d857c oprofile: fix crash when accessing freed task structs

which introduced the locking dependency.

The function setup_vpif_input_channel_mode() used the VSCLKDIS register

used a different clock from channel 1.

      ALSA: sis7019 - give slow codecs more time to reset · d21de8b1
      David Dillow authored 
      commit fc084e0b upstream.

There are some AC97 codec and board combinations that have been observed
to take a very long time to respond after the cold reset has completed.
In one case, more than 350 ms was required. To allow users to have sound
on those platforms, we'll wait up to 500ms for the codec to become
ready.

As a board may have multiple codecs, with some faster than others to
reset, we add a module parameter to inform the driver which codecs
should be present.
