commit 966728dd upstream. I have a box that fails in OF during boot with: DEFAULT CATCH!, exception-handler=fff00400 at %SRR0: 49424d2c4c6f6768 %SRR1: 800000004000b002 ie "IBM,Logh". OF got corrupted with a device tree string. Looking at make_room and alloc_up, we claim the first chunk (1 MB) but we never claim any more. mem_end is always set to alloc_top which is the top of our available address space, guaranteeing we will never call alloc_up and claim more memory. Also alloc_up wasn't setting alloc_bottom to the bottom of the available address space. This doesn't help the box to boot, but we at least fail with an obvious error. We could relocate the device tree in a future patch. Signed-off-by:

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons. MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.) Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number. For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well. Reported-by:

commit 21c5977a upstream. Fix several security issues in Alpha-specific syscalls. Untested, but mostly trivial. 1. Signedness issue in osf_getdomainname allows copying out-of-bounds kernel memory to userland. 2. Signedness issue in osf_sysinfo allows copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland. 3. Typo (?) in osf_getsysinfo bounds minimum instead of maximum copy size, allowing copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland. 4. Usage of user pointer in osf_wait4 while under KERNEL_DS allows privilege escalation via writing return value of sys_wait4 to kernel memory. Signed-off-by:

commit 4ff67b72 upstream. This patch replaces the earlier patch by the same name. The only difference is that MAX_PASSWORD_SIZE has been increased to attempt to match the limits that windows enforces. Do a better job of matching sessions by authtype. Matching by username for a Kerberos session is incorrect, and anonymous sessions need special handling. Also, in the case where we do match by username, we also need to match by password. That ensures that someone else doesn't "borrow" an existing session without needing to know the password. Finally, passwords can be longer than 16 bytes. Bump MAX_PASSWORD_SIZE to 512 to match the size that the userspace mount helper allows. Signed-off-by:

(imported from commit v2.6.37-rc5-64-gf1c1807) commit 995bd3bb (x86: Hpet: Avoid the comparator readback penalty) chose 8 HPET cycles as a safe value for the ETIME check, as we had the confirmation that the posted write to the comparator register is delayed by two HPET clock cycles on Intel chipsets which showed readback problems. After that patch hit mainline we got reports from machines with newer AMD chipsets which seem to have an even longer delay. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1054283 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1069458 for further information. Boris tried to come up with an ACPI based selection of the minimum HPET cycles, but this failed on a couple of test machines. And of course we did not get any useful information from the hardware folks. For now our only option is to chose a paranoid high and safe value for the minimum HPET cycles used by the ETIME check. Adjust the minimum ns value for the HPET clockevent accordingly. Reported-Bistected-and-Tested-by:

(imported from commit v2.6.36-rc4-167-g995bd3bb) Due to the overly intelligent design of HPETs, we need to workaround the problem that the compare value which we write is already behind the actual counter value at the point where the value hits the real compare register. This happens for two reasons: 1) We read out the counter, add the delta and write the result to the compare register. When a NMI or SMI hits between the read out and the write then the counter can be ahead of the event already 2) The write to the compare register is delayed by up to two HPET cycles in certain chipsets. We worked around this by reading back the compare register to make sure that the written value has hit the hardware. For certain ICH9+ chipsets this can require two readouts, as the first one can return the previous compare register value. That's bad performance wise for the normal case where the event is far enough in the future. As we already know that the write can be delayed by up to two cycles we can avoid the read back of the compare register completely if we make the decision whether the delta has elapsed already or not based on the following calculation: cmp = event - actual_count; If cmp is less than 8 HPET clock cycles, then we decide that the event has happened already and return -ETIME. That covers the above #1 and #2 problems which would cause a wait for HPET wraparound (~306 seconds). Signed-off-by:

commit e04f5f7e upstream. This patch (as1480) fixes a rather obscure bug in ehci-hcd. The qh_update() routine needs to know the number and direction of the endpoint corresponding to its QH argument. The number can be taken directly from the QH data structure, but the direction isn't stored there. The direction is taken instead from the first qTD linked to the QH. However, it turns out that for interrupt transfers, qh_update() gets called before the qTDs are linked to the QH. As a result, qh_update() computes a bogus direction value, which messes up the endpoint toggle handling. Under the right combination of circumstances this causes usb_reset_endpoint() not to work correctly, which causes packets to be dropped and communications to fail. Now, it's silly for the QH structure not to have direct access to all the descriptor information for the corresponding endpoint. Ultimately it may get a pointer to the usb_host_endpoint structure; for now, adding a copy of the direction flag solves the immediate problem. This allows the Spyder2 color-calibration system (a low-speed USB device that sends all its interrupt data packets with the toggle set to 0 and hance requires constant use of usb_reset_endpoint) to work when connected through a high-speed hub. Thanks to Graeme Gill for supplying the hardware that allowed me to track down this bug. Signed-off-by:

commit 81463c1d upstream. MAX4967 USB power supply chip we use on our boards signals over-current when power is not enabled; once it's enabled, over-current signal returns to normal. That unfortunately caused the endless stream of "over-current change on port" messages. The EHCI root hub code reacts on every over-current signal change with powering off the port -- such change event is generated the moment the port power is enabled, so once enabled the power is immediately cut off. I think we should only cut off power when we're seeing the active over-current signal, so I'm adding such check to that code. I also think that the fact that we've cut off the port power should be reflected in the result of GetPortStatus request immediately, hence I'm adding a PORTSCn register readback after write...

commit ebc63e53 upstream. After commit 3262c816 "[PATCH] knfsd: split svc_serv into pools", svc_delete_xprt (then svc_delete_socket) no longer removed its xpt_ready (then sk_ready) field from whatever list it was on, noting that there was no point since the whole list was about to be destroyed anyway. That was mostly true, but forgot that a few svc_xprt_enqueue()'s might still be hanging around playing with the about-to-be-destroyed list, and could get themselves into trouble writing to freed memory if we left this xprt on the list after freeing it.

commit ad95c5e9 upstream. Block allocation is called from two places: ext3_get_blocks_handle() and ext3_xattr_block_set(). These two callers are not necessarily synchronized because xattr code holds only xattr_sem and i_mutex, and ext3_get_blocks_handle() may hold only truncate_mutex when called from writepage() path. Block reservation code does not expect two concurrent allocations to happen to the same inode and thus assertions can be triggered or reservation structure corruption can occur. Fix the problem by taking truncate_mutex in xattr code to serialize allocations. CC: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Reported-by:

commit 864d296c upstream. The function pci_enable_ari() may mistakenly set the downstream port of a v1 PCIe switch in ARI Forwarding mode. This is a PCIe v2 feature, and with an SR-IOV device on that switch port believing the switch above is ARI capable it may attempt to use functions 8-255, translating into invalid (non-zero) device numbers for that bus. This has been seen to cause Completion Timeouts and general misbehaviour including hangs and panics. Acked-by:

commit 050438ed upstream. In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call return address is the jump back entry. Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original kernel. But in the current implementation the stack position used for function call return address is not cleared context preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit b5b51544 upstream. There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering the OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages. First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl(), with a type PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. This calls through to pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough(). Next, a pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit signed value provided by the user. If a negative value is provided here, bad things can happen. For example, pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this request_size, which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a negative size. The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can result in an overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the sglist will be smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly large the subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high number of pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked. It looks like preventing this value from being negative in pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough() would be sufficient. Signed-off-by:
