commit ef5d437f upstream. On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page, page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty(). Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from xfs_count_page_state(). Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then page unmapped. Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is dirty. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned up variant of the patch. The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines where the original problem was triggered. Signed-off-by:

commit f6365201 upstream. The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this. Signed-off-by:

commit aaeb61a9 upstream. `pc236_detach()` is called by the comedi core if it attempted to attach a device and failed. `pc236_detach()` calls `pc236_intr_disable()` if the comedi device private data pointer (`devpriv`) is non-null. This test is insufficient as `pc236_intr_disable()` accesses hardware registers and the attach routine may have failed before it has saved their I/O base addresses. Fix it by checking `dev->iobase` is non-zero before calling `pc236_intr_disable()` as that means the I/O base addresses have been saved and the hardware registers can be accessed. It also implies the comedi device private data pointer is valid, so there is no need to check it. Signed-off-by:

commit 43a09f7f upstream. The command cancellation code doesn't check whether find_trb_seg() couldn't find the segment that contains the TRB to be canceled. This could cause a NULL pointer deference later in the function when next_trb is called. It's unlikely to happen unless something is wrong with the command ring pointers, so add some debugging in case it happens. This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit b63f4053 "xHCI: handle command after aborting the command ring". Signed-off-by:

commit 66081a72 upstream. The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes. Use strlcat() instead. Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

In particular it will cause an early wake up of the task that called xprt_connect().

commit f878b657 upstream. Chris Perl reports that we're seeing races between the wakeup call in xs_error_report and the connect attempts. Basically, Chris has shown that in certain circumstances, the call to xs_error_report causes the rpc_task that is responsible for reconnecting to wake up early, thus triggering a disconnect and retry. Since the sk->sk_error_report() calls in the socket layer are always followed by a tcp_done() in the cases where we care about waking up the rpc_tasks, just let the state_change callbacks take responsibility for those wake ups.

commit 5f40b909 upstream. When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page tables via the secondary_data struct: (1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm). (2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF section. The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to swapper as soon as it enters C code: struct mm_struct *mm = &init_mm; unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id(); /* * All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a * reference and switch to it. */ atomic_inc(&mm->mm_count); current->active_mm = mm; cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm)); cpu_switch_mm(mm->pgd, mm); This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc. This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses. Reported-by:

commit eedce141 upstream. The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in the bitmap. That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits (LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then. The same works for the lookup functions. The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap. However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for example, could be allocated for 70 bits. This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines. This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to set or check for a bit. This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits. What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of bytes. Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO. So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when rmmod'ed.

commit 20f1de65 upstream. Fix possible overflow of the buffer used for expanding environment variables when building file list. In the extremely unlikely case of an attacker having control over the environment variables visible to gen_init_cpio, control over the contents of the file gen_init_cpio parses, and gen_init_cpio was built without compiler hardening, the attacker can gain arbitrary execution control via a stack buffer overflow. $ cat usr/crash.list file foo ${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG} 0755 0 0 $ BIG=$(perl -e 'print "A" x 4096;') ./usr/gen_init_cpio usr/crash.list *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./usr/gen_init_cpio terminated This also replaces the space-indenting with tabs. Patch based on existing fix extracted from grsecurity. Signed-off-by:
