commit f33798de upstream. commit 9ce119f3 ("tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc()") fixed a GPF caused by a line discipline which does not define a receive_buf() method. However, the vt driver (and speakup driver also) pushes selection data directly to the line discipline receive_buf() method via tty_ldisc_receive_buf(). Fix the same problem in tty_ldisc_receive_buf().

commit ba4bc32e upstream. An older patch to convert the API in the s3c i2s driver ended up passing a const pointer into a function that takes a non-const pointer, so we now get a warning: sound/soc/samsung/s3c2412-i2s.c: In function 's3c2412_iis_dev_probe': sound/soc/samsung/s3c2412-i2s.c:172:9: error: passing argument 3 of 's3c_i2sv2_register_component' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers] However, the s3c_i2sv2_register_component() function again passes the pointer into another function taking a const, so we just need to change its prototype.

commit 4d107d3b upstream. imx6_pcie_link_up() previously used usleep_range() to wait for the link to come up. Since it may be called while holding the config spinlock, the sleep causes a "BUG: scheduling while atomic" error. Instead of waiting for the link to come up in imx6_pcie_link_up(), do the waiting in imx6_pcie_wait_for_link(), where we're not holding a lock and sleeping is allowed.

commit 952bce97 upstream. Commit 8996eafd ("crypto: ahash - ensure statesize is non-zero") added a check to prevent ahash algorithms from successfully registering if the import and export functions were not implemented. This prevents an oops in the hash_accept function of algif_hash. This commit causes the ccp-crypto module SHA support and AES CMAC support from successfully registering and causing the ccp-crypto module load to fail because the ahash import and export functions are not implemented.

commit e513229b upstream. When an SMP Hyper-V guest is running on top of 2012R2 Server and secondary cpus are sent offline (with echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$cpu/online) the system freeze is observed. This happens due to the fact that on newer hypervisors (Win8, WS2012R2, ...) vmbus channel handlers are distributed across all cpus (see init_vp_index() function in drivers/hv/channel_mgmt.c) and on cpu offlining nobody reassigns them to CPU0. Prevent cpu offlining when vmbus is loaded until the issue is fixed host-side. This patch also disables hibernation but it is OK as it is also broken (MCE error is hit on resume). Suspend still works. Tested with WS2008R2 and WS2012R2. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.

commit b7a58459 upstream. On Xen PV, regs->flags doesn't reliably reflect IOPL and the exit-to-userspace code doesn't change IOPL. We need to context switch it manually. I'm doing this without going through paravirt because this is specific to Xen PV. After the dust settles, we can merge this with the 32-bit code, tidy up the iopl syscall implementation, and remove the set_iopl pvop entirely. Fixes XSA-171.

commit 00df35f9 upstream. Currently, smpboot_unpark_threads() is invoked before the incoming CPU has been added to the scheduler's runqueue structures. This might potentially cause the unparked kthread to run on the wrong CPU, since the correct CPU isn't fully set up yet. That causes a sporadic, hard to debug boot crash triggering on some systems, reported by Borislav Petkov, and bisected down to: 2a442c9c ("x86: Use common outgoing-CPU-notification code") This patch places smpboot_unpark_threads() in a CPU hotplug notifier with priority set so that these kthreads are unparked just after the CPU has been added to the runqueues.

commit 8a5e5e02 upstream. Poison pointer values should be small enough to find a room in non-mmap'able/hardly-mmap'able space. E.g. on x86 "poison pointer space" is located starting from 0x0. Given unprivileged users cannot mmap anything below mmap_min_addr, it should be safe to use poison pointers lower than mmap_min_addr. The current poison pointer values of LIST_POISON{1,2} might be too big for mmap_min_addr values equal or less than 1 MB (common case, e.g. Ubuntu uses only 0x10000). There is little point to use such a big value given the "poison pointer space" below 1 MB is not yet exhausted. Changing it to a smaller value solves the problem for small mmap_min_addr setups.

commit dc17147d upstream. Commit f3775549 ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection. Commit 3a630178 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if a trace event was enabled. Commit f3775549 only stopped the warnings when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace event was called when disabled. To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that it may be used now and in the future.

commit e246eb56 upstream. Laszlo explains why this is a good idea, 'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables, and (for example) a crash might dump the last kilobytes of the dmesg into a number of pstore entries, each entry backed by a separate UEFI variable in the above GUID namespace, and with a variable name according to the above pattern. Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c". While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log, *without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.' There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by deleting these variables, which is the whole purpose of excluding things from the whitelist. Use the LINUX_EFI_CRASH_GUID guid and a wildcard '*' for the match so that we don't have to update the string in the future if new variable name formats are created for crash dump variables.

commit ed8b0de5 upstream. "rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

commit 3dcb1f55 upstream. Actually translate from ucs2 to utf8 before doing the test, and then test against our other utf8 data, instead of fudging it.

commit 73500267 upstream. This adds ucs2_utf8size(), which tells us how big our ucs2 string is in bytes, and ucs2_as_utf8, which translates from ucs2 to utf8..

commit 7cae2bed upstream. As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350, it is possible to have vcpu->arch.st.last_steal initialized from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via KVM_SET_MSRS. Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads sched_info.run_delay). To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time, before copying steal time data to guest.

commit 789d21db upstream. Since bch_is_open will iterate linked list bch_cache_sets and uncached_devices, it needs bch_register_lock.

In Linus's tree, the iovec code has been reworked massively, but in older kernels the AIO layer should be checking this before passing the request on to other layers. Many thanks to Ben Hawkes of Google Project Zero for pointing out the issue.
