If security_filter_rule_init() doesn't return a rule, then not everything is as fine as the return code implies. This bug only occurs when the LSM (eg. SELinux) is disabled at runtime. Adding an empty LSM rule causes ima_match_rules() to always succeed, ignoring any remaining rules. default IMA TCB policy: # PROC_SUPER_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x9fa0 # SYSFS_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x62656572 # DEBUGFS_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x64626720 # TMPFS_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x01021994 # SECURITYFS_MAGIC dont_measure fsmagic=0x73636673 < LSM specific rule > dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t measure func=BPRM_CHECK measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC measure func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ uid=0 Thus without the patch, with the boot parameters 'tcb selinux=0', adding the above 'dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t' rule to the default IMA TCB measurement policy, would result in nothing being measured. The patch prevents the default TCB policy from being replaced.

ipchain__fprintf_graph() casts the number of hits in a branch as an int, which means we lose its highests bits. This results in meaningless number of callchain hits in perf.data that have a high number of hits recorded, typically those that have callchain branches hits appearing more than INT_MAX. This happens easily as those are pondered by the event period.

Disable preemption in init_ibs(). The function only checks the ibs capabilities and sets up pci devices (if necessary). It runs only on one cpu but operates with the local APIC and some MSRs, thus it is better to disable preemption.

This patch fixes a regression that crept into 2.6.36. The volume control scale in the cx25840 driver has an unusual mapping from register values to v4l2 volume control values. Enforce the mapping limits, so that the default volume control setting does not fall out of bounds to prevent the cx25840 module device probe from failing.

The error message 'NMI watchdog failed to create perf event...' does not make it clear that this is a fatal error for the watchdog. It also currently prints the error value as a pointer, rather than extracting the error code with PTR_ERR(). Fix that.

This reverts commit 7e24cce3 because it was never appropriate for mainline. Do not check for init flag before starting I/O - zram module is unusable without this fix. The oops mentioned in the reverted commit message was actually a problem only with the zram version as present in project's own repository where we allocate struct zram_stats_cpu upon device initialization. OTOH, In mainline/staging version of zram, we allocate struct stats upfront, so this oops cannot happen in mainline version. Checking for init_done flag in zram_make_request() results in a *no-op* for any I/O operation since we simply always return success. This flag is actually set when the first write occurs on a zram disk which triggers its initialization.

At __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), VM_BUG_ON(!mm->owner) is checked. But as commented in mem_cgroup_from_task(), mm->owner can be NULL in some racy case. This check of VM_BUG_ON() is bad. A possible story to hit this is at swapoff()->try_to_unuse(). It passes mm_struct to mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() while mm->owner is NULL. If we can't get proper mem_cgroup from swap_cgroup information, mm->owner is used as charge target and we see NULL.

The load_mixer_volumes() function, which can be triggered by unprivileged users via the SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. Because the provided "name" argument isn't guaranteed to be NULL terminated at the expected 32 bytes, it's possible to overflow past the end of the last element in the mixer_vols array. Further exploitation can result in an arbitrary kernel write (via subsequent calls to load_mixer_volumes()) leading to privilege escalation, or arbitrary kernel reads via get_mixer_levels(). In addition, the strcmp() may leak bytes beyond the mixer_vols array.

This lead to non-selected, non-user-selectable options to be written out to .config. This is not only pointless, but also preventing the user to be prompted should any of those options eventually become visible (e.g. by de-selecting the *_AUTO options the "visible" attribute was added for. Furthermore it is quite logical for the "visible" attribute of a menu to control the visibility of all contained prompts, which is what the patch does.

When SPI wake up from OFF mode, CS is in the wrong state: force it to the inactive state. During the system life, I monitored the CS behavior using a oscilloscope. I also activated debug in omap2_mcspi, so I saw when driver disable the clocks and restore context when device is not used.Each time the CS was in the correct state. It was only when system was put suspend to ram with off-mode activated that on resume the CS was in wrong state( ie activated). Changelog: * Change from v1 to v2: - Rebase on linus/master (after 2.6.37-rc1) - Do some clean-up and fix indentation on both patches - Add more explanations for patch 2 * Change from v2 to v3: - Use directly resume function of spi_master instead of using function - from spi_device as Grant Likely pointed it out. - Force this transition explicitly for each CS used by a device. * Change from v3 to v4: - Patch clean-up according to Kevin Hilman and checkpatch. - Now force CS to be in inactive state only if it was inactive when it was suspended. * Change from v4 to v5: - Rebase on linus/master (after 2.6.37-rc3) - Collapse some lines as pointed by Grant Likely - Fix a spelling * Change from v5 to v6: - Rebase on linus/master (after 2.6.37-rc7) - Use CONFIG_SUSPEND instead of CONFIG_PM - Didn't use legacy PM methods anymore. Instead, add a struct dev_pm_ops and add the resume method there. - Fix multi-line comment style * Change from v6 to v7: - Rebase on linus/master (after 2.6.37-rc8) - Drop an extra line Signed-off-by: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@free-electrons.com> Acked-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Reviewed-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@deeprootsystems.com> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

The multi-component patch(commit f0fba2ad) moved the allocation of the register cache from the driver to the ASoC core. Most drivers where adjusted to this, but the wm8753 driver still uses its own register cache for its private functions, while functions from the ASoC core use the generic cache. Furthermore the generic cache uses zero-based numbering while the wm8753 cache uses one-based numbering. Thus we end up with two from each other incoherent caches, which leads to undefined behaviour and crashes. This patch fixes the issue by changing the wm8753 driver to use the generic register cache in its private functions.
