commit b0fc889c upstream. ibmphp driver currently maps only 1KB of ebda memory area into kernel address space during driver initialization. This causes kernel oops when the driver is modprobe'd and it accesses memory beyond 1KB within ebda segment. The first byte of ebda segment actually stores the length of the ebda region in Kilobytes. Hence make use of the length parameter and map the entire ebda region. Signed-off-by:

commit 453d3131 upstream. Mike Cui reported that his system with an NVIDIA MCP79 (aka MCP7A) chipset stopped working with 2.6.32. The problem appears to be that 2.6.32 now enables the FPDMA auto-activate optimization in the ahci driver. The drive works fine with this enabled on an Intel AHCI so this appears to be a chipset bug. Since MCP79 is a fairly recent NVIDIA chipset and we don't have any info on whether any other NVIDIA chipsets have this issue, disable FPDMA AA optimization on all NVIDIA AHCI controllers for now.

commit c36f74e6 upstream. This fixes corrupted CIPSO packets when SELinux categories greater than 127 are used. The bug occured on the second (and later) loops through the while; the inner for loop through the ebitmap->maps array used the same index as the NetLabel catmap->bitmap array, even though the NetLabel bitmap is twice as long as the SELinux bitmap.

commit a120e912 upstream. Check the frame control for ieee80211_is_data_qos() is true before counting the number of tfds can be free, the tfds_in_queue only increment when ieee80211_is_data_qos() is true before transmit; so it should only decrement if the type match. Remove ieee80211_is_data_qos check for frame_ctrl in tx_resp to avoid invalid information pass from uCode. Signed-off-by:

commit 5e2f75b8 upstream. The HT extension channel settings require priv->staging_rxon.channel to be accurate. However, iwl_set_rxon_ht was being called before iwl_set_rxon_channel and thus HT40 could be broken unless another call to iwl_mac_config came in. This problem was recently introduced by "iwlwifi: Fix to set correct ht configuration" The particular setting in which I noticed this was monitor mode: iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor ifconfig wlan0 up ./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40- #./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40- tcpdump -i wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO would only catch HT40 packets if I issued the IW command twice. From visual inspection, iwl_set_rxon_channel does not depend on iwl_set_rxon_ht, so simply swapping them should be safe and fixes this problem. Signed-off-by:

commit a17e1879 upstream. 803bf5ec ("fs/exec.c: restrict initial stack space expansion to rlimit") attempts to limit the initial stack to 20*PAGE_SIZE. Unfortunately, in attempting ensure the stack is not reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all. This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does this already. This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being killed. Signed-off-by:

V4L/DVB: Video : pwc : Fix regression in pwc_set_shutter_speed caused by bad constant => sizeof conversion. commit 53f68607 upstream. Regression was caused by my commit 6b35ca0d which determined message size using sizeof rather than hardcoded constants. Unfortunately pwc_set_shutter_speed reuses a 2 byte buffer for a one byte message too so the sizeof was bogus in this case. All other uses of sizeof checked and are ok. Acked-by:

commit c1db53b3 upstream. I'm trying to fix it on the GCC side (PR43007), but the module is quite stupid in using ULL constants to operate on u32 values: static int apply_frontend_param (struct dvb_frontend* fe, struct dvb_frontend_parameters *param) { ... static const u32 ppm = 8000; u32 spi_bias; ... spi_bias *= 1000ULL; spi_bias /= 1000ULL + ppm/1000; which causes current GCC 4.5 to emit calls to __udivdi3 for i?86 again.

commit ebfd32bb upstream. This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'. 'overhead_size' is the size of the various header structures used during communication. The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being computed. This is then used in a check to see if the payload (data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure. Since the bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the structure to be breached. (Although the current users of the code do not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.) The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it with fresh data. This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)' not overhead_size. The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's worth of space at the end uncleared. Thus, this bug was never producing a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the value is computed correctly. Signed-off-by:

commit b6c3f5be upstream. Commit c7ab5ef9 entitled "b43: implement short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling. Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s. Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs. Signed-off-by:

commit f8f484d1 upstream. The i_blocks field of an eCryptfs inode cannot be trusted, but generic_fillattr() uses it to instantiate the blocks field of a stat() syscall when a filesystem doesn't implement its own getattr(). Users have noticed that the output of du is incorrect on newly created files. This patch creates ecryptfs_getattr() which calls into the lower filesystem's getattr() so that eCryptfs can use its kstat.blocks value after calling generic_fillattr(). It is important to note that the block count includes the eCryptfs metadata stored in the beginning of the lower file plus any padding used to fill an extent before encryption. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/390833Reported-by:

commit 65d26953 upstream. The cached read and write paths initialize fattr->time_start in their setup procedures. The value of fattr->time_start is propagated to read_cache_jiffies by nfs_update_inode(). Subsequent calls to nfs_attribute_timeout() will then use a good time stamp when computing the attribute cache timeout, and squelch unneeded GETATTR calls. Since the direct I/O paths erroneously leave the inode's fattr->time_start field set to zero, read_cache_jiffies for that inode is set to zero after any direct read or write operation. This triggers an otw GETATTR or ACCESS call to update the file's attribute and access caches properly, even when the NFS READ or WRITE replies have usable post-op attributes. Make sure the direct read and write setup code performs the same fattr initialization as the cached I/O paths to prevent unnecessary GETATTR calls. This was likely introduced by commit 0e574af1 in 2.6.15, which appears to add new nfs_fattr_init() call sites in the cached read and write paths, but not in the equivalent places in fs/nfs/direct.c. A subsequent commit in the same series, 33801147, introduces the fattr->time_start field. Interestingly, the direct write reschedule path already has a call to nfs_fattr_init() in the right place.

commit 370d5cd8 upstream. Since the rewrite of the CPU idle governor in 2.6.32, two laptops have surfaced where the BIOS advertises a C2 power state, but for some reason this state is not functioning (as verified in both cases by powertop before the patch in .32). The old governor had the accidental behavior that if a non-working state was chosen too many times, it would end up falling back to C1. The new governor works differently and this accidental behavior is no longer there; the result is a high temperature on these two machines. This patch adds these 2 machines to the DMI table for C state anomalies; by just not using C2 both these machines are better off (the TSC can be used instead of the pm timer, giving a performance boost for example).

commit ddeee0b2 upstream. I notice that the processcompl_compat() function seems to be leaking the 'struct async *as' in the error paths. I think that the calling convention is fundamentally buggered. The caller is the one that did the "reap_as()" to get the as thing, the caller should be the one to free it too. Freeing it in the caller also means that it very clearly always gets freed, and avoids the need for any "free in the error case too".

commit 7c0ff870 upstream. There is currently a bug in sysfs_sd_setattr inherited from sysfs_setattr in 2.6.32 where the first time we set the attributes on a sysfs file we allocate backing store but do not set the backing store attributes. Resulting in overly restrictive permissions on sysfs files. The fix is to simply modify the code so that it always executes when we update the sysfs attributes, as we did in 2.6.31 and earlier.

commit bca47613 upstream. When controlling an industrial radio modem it can be necessary to manipulate the handshake lines in order to control the radio modem's transmitter, from userspace. The transmitter should not be turned off before all characters have been transmitted. serial8250_tx_empty() was reporting that all characters were transmitted before they actually were. === Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers as follows: I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little different than the standard. This type of expansion board is very common. "Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device. The NetMos device does it slightly different I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register. The problem is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information. My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does not affect the already correct devices. Alan: We may yet need to quirk this but now we know which chips we have a way to do that should we find this breaks some other 8250 clone with dodgy THRE. Signed-off-by:
