Considering this case: 1. A program opens a sysfs table file 65535 times, it can increase validation_count and first increment cause the table to be mapped: validation_count = 65535 2. AML execution causes "Load" to be executed on the same table, this time it cannot increase validation_count, so validation_count remains: validation_count = 65535 3. The program closes sysfs table file 65535 times, it can decrease validation_count and the last decrement cause the table to be unmapped: validation_count = 0 4. AML code still accessing the loaded table, kernel crash can be observed. To prevent that from happening, add a validation_count threashold. When it is reached, the validation_count can no longer be incremented/decremented to invalidate the table descriptor (means preventing table unmappings) Note that code added in acpi_tb_put_table() is actually a no-op but changes the warning message into a "warn once" one.

In the Linux kernel, acpi_get_table() "clones" haven't been fully balanced by acpi_put_table() invocations. In upstream ACPICA, due to the design change, there are also unbalanced acpi_get_table_by_index() invocations requiring special care. acpi_get_table() reference counting mismatches may occor due to that and printing error messages related to them is not useful at this point. The strict balanced validation count check should only be enabled after confirming that all invocations are safe and aligned with their designed purposes. Thus this patch removes the error value returned by acpi_tb_get_table() in that case along with the accompanying error message to fix the issue.

The function calls acpi_ns_terminate() function to delete namespace data and ACPI operand cache (acpi_gbl_module_code_list). But the deletion code in acpi_ns_terminate() function is wrapped in ACPI_EXEC_APP definition, therefore the code is only executed when the definition exists. If the define doesn't exist, ACPI operand cache (acpi_gbl_module_code_list) is leaked, and stack dump is shown in kernel log. This causes a security threat because the old kernel (<= 4.9) shows memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump, therefore kernel ASLR can be neutralized. To fix ACPI operand leak for enhancing security, I made a patch which removes the ACPI_EXEC_APP define in acpi_ns_terminate() function for executing the deletion code unconditionally.

ACPICA commit ba5020b2dbe1538e4ccd7ac2dfd8843a690c007f This change enhances the detection of resource descriptors within a buffer object. For the end_tag opcode, the second byte is defined to be either a checksum or zero. All known ASL compilers insert a zero for this byte. The disassembler now ensures this byte is zero before deciding that a buffer should be disassembled to a resource descriptor. This helps eliminate incorrect decisions when attempting to disassemble a buffer to a resource descriptor.

_LINUX: used to detect a target build is a linux kernel/application. __linux__: used to detect a build is on a linux hosts. Thus we can see: if a linux kernel build is performed on environments other than linux hosts, __linux__ may not be defined by the compiler and _LINUX cannot cover linux kernel resident ACPICA files, as it's only defined in <linux/acpi.h> and hence only allows non ACPICA kernel files to correctly include aclinux.h. As a conclusion, we don't actually support such build. This patch adds -D_LINUX for ACPICA files so that kernel builds on any hosts can use unified _LINUX as a linux kernel target indication to correctly include aclinux.h.

ops->show() can return a negative error code. Commit 65da3484 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.") (in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors would look like large numbers. As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the value of 'count', typically 4096. Commit 17d0774f ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs") (in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for memmove(). Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to user-space. If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove() with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways. This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is scheduled on a workqueue - completes. Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show() After this, the ->show() won't be called. I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like usleep_range(500000,700000); early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an md device md0 run echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment). Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion. Fixes: fdc81b79 ("stable_kernel_rules: Add clause about specification of kernel versions to patch.")

vfs_llseek will check whether the file mode has FMODE_LSEEK, no return failure. But ashmem can be lseek, so add FMODE_LSEEK to ashmem file. Comment From Greg Hackmann: ashmem_llseek() passes the llseek() call through to the backing shmem file. 91360b02 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()") changed this from directly calling the file's llseek() op into a VFS layer call. This also adds a check for the FMODE_LSEEK bit, so without that bit ashmem_llseek() now always fails with -ESPIPE.

Pull audit cleanup from Paul Moore: "A week later than I had hoped, but as promised, here is the audit uninline-fix we talked about during the last audit pull request. The patch is slightly different than what we originally discussed as it made more sense to keep the audit_signal_info() function in auditsc.c rather than move it and bunch of other related variables/definitions into audit.c/audit.h. At some point in the future I need to look at how the audit code is organized across kernel/audit*, I suspect we could do things a bit better, but it doesn't seem like a -rc release is a good place for that ;) Regardless, this patch passes our tests without problem and looks good for v4.11" * 'stable-4.11' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: move audit_signal_info() into kernel/auditsc.c

We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code. vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one rescuer thread this way. On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created). Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but Hugh Dickins has reported: : 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At : first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory"); : but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh" : before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck : in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers. : kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages(). This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and vmstat.
