      x86/fpu: Disable XSAVES* support for now · 8e592180
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      commit e88221c5 upstream.

The kernel's handling of 'compacted' xsave state layout is buggy:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=142967852317199

I don't have such a system, and the description there is vague, but
from extrapolation I guess that there were two kinds of bugs
observed:

  - boot crashes, due to size calculations being wrong and the dynamic
    allocation allocating a too small xstate area. (This is now fixed
    in the new FPU code - but still present in stable kernels.)

  - FPU state corruption and ABI breakage: if signal handlers try to
    change the FPU state in standard format, which then the kernel
    tries to restore in the compacted format.

These breakages are scary, but they only occur on a small number of
systems that have XSAVES* CPU support. Yet we have had XSAVES support
in the upstream kernel for a large number of stable kernel releases,
and the fixes are involved and unproven.

So do the safe resolution first: disable XSAVES* support and only
use the standard xstate format. This makes the code work and is
easy to backport.

On top of this we can work on enabling (and testing!) proper
compacted format support, without backporting pressure, on top of the
new, cleaned up FPU code.

      x86/mce: Fix MCE severity messages · 270314c6
      Borislav Petkov authored 
      commit 17fea54b upstream.

Derek noticed that a critical MCE gets reported with the wrong
error type description:

  [Hardware Error]: CPU 34: Machine Check Exception: 5 Bank 9: f200003f000100b0
  [Hardware Error]: RIP !INEXACT! 10:<ffffffff812e14c1> {intel_idle+0xb1/0x170}
  [Hardware Error]: TSC 49587b8e321cb
  [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:306e4 TIME 1431561296 SOCKET 1 APIC 29
  [Hardware Error]: Some CPUs didn't answer in synchronization
  [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Invalid
				   ^^^^^^^

The last line with 'Invalid' should have printed the high level
MCE error type description we get from mce_severity, i.e.
something like:

  [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Action required: data load error in a user process

this happens due to the fact that mce_no_way_out() iterates over
all MCA banks and possibly overwrites the @msg argument which is
used in the panic printing later.

Change behavior to take the message of only and the (last)
critical MCE it detects.

      iommu/arm-smmu: Fix sign-extension of upstream bus addresses at stage 1 · 4c951487
      Will Deacon authored 
      commit 5dc5616e upstream.

Stage 1 translation is controlled by two sets of page tables (TTBR0 and
TTBR1) which grow up and down from zero respectively in the ARMv8
translation regime. For the SMMU, we only care about TTBR0 and, in the
case of a 48-bit virtual space, we expect to map virtual addresses 0x0
through to 0xffff_ffff_ffff.

Given that some masters may be incapable of emitting virtual addresses
targetting TTBR1 (e.g. because they sit on a 48-bit bus), the SMMU
architecture allows bit 47 to be sign-extended, halving the virtual
range of TTBR0 but allowing TTBR1 to be used. This is controlled by the
SEP field in TTBCR2.

The SMMU driver incorrectly enables this sign-extension feature, which
causes problems when userspace addresses are programmed into a master
device with the SMMU expecting to map the incoming transactions via
TTBR0; if the top bit of address is set, we will instead get a
translation fault since TTBR1 walks are disabled in the TTBCR.

This patch fixes the issue by disabling sign-extension of a fixed
virtual address bit and instead basing the behaviour on the upstream bus
size: the incoming address is zero extended unless the upstream bus is
only 49 bits wide, in which case bit 48 is used as the sign bit and is
replicated to the upper bits.

      iommu/amd: Fix bug in put_pasid_state_wait · 9f453d6e
      Oded Gabbay authored 
      commit 1bf1b431 upstream.

This patch fixes a bug in put_pasid_state_wait that appeared in kernel 4.0
The bug is that pasid_state->count wasn't decremented before entering the
wait_event. Thus, the condition in wait_event will never be true.

The fix is to decrement (atomically) the pasid_state->count before the
wait_event.

      fs_pin: Allow for the possibility that m_list or s_list go unused. · ef20854f
      Eric W. Biederman authored 
      commit 820f9f14 upstream.

This is needed to support lazily umounting locked mounts.  Because the
entire unmounted subtree needs to stay together until there are no
users with references to any part of the subtree.

To support this guarantee that the fs_pin m_list and s_list nodes
are initialized by initializing them in init_fs_pin allowing
for the possibility that pin_insert_group does not touch them.

Further use hlist_del_init in pin_remove so that there is
a hlist_unhashed test before the list we attempt to update
the previous list item.

      mnt: Fail collect_mounts when applied to unmounted mounts · 9993cbfd
      Eric W. Biederman authored 
      commit cd4a4017 upstream.

The only users of collect_mounts are in audit_tree.c

In audit_trim_trees and audit_add_tree_rule the path passed into
collect_mounts is generated from kern_path passed an audit_tree
pathname which is guaranteed to be an absolute path.   In those cases
collect_mounts is obviously intended to work on mounted paths and
if a race results in paths that are unmounted when collect_mounts
it is reasonable to fail early.

The paths passed into audit_tag_tree don't have the absolute path
check.  But are used to play with fsnotify and otherwise interact with
the audit_trees, so again operating only on mounted paths appears
reasonable.

Avoid having to worry about what happens when we try and audit
unmounted filesystems by restricting collect_mounts to mounts
that appear in the mount tree.
