commit 3213b151 upstream. The transfer burst count (TBC) field in xhci 1.0 hosts should be set to the number of bursts needed to transfer all packets in a isoc TD. Supported values are 0-2 (1 to 3 bursts per service interval). Formula for TBC calculation is given in xhci spec section 4.11.2.3: TBC = roundup( Transfer Descriptor Packet Count / Max Burst Size +1 ) - 1 This patch should be applied to stable kernels since 3.0 that contain the commit 5cd43e33 "xhci 1.0: Set transfer burst count field."

commit aea1ae87 upstream. Fix NULL-pointer dereference when probing an interface with no endpoints. These devices have two bulk endpoints per interface, but this avoids crashing the kernel if a user forces a non-FTDI device to be probed. Note that the iterator variable was made unsigned in order to avoid a maybe-uninitialized compiler warning for ep_desc after the loop.

commit f0688c8b upstream. If the descriptors do not need any strings and user space sends empty set of strings, the ffs->stringtabs field remains NULL. Thus *ffs->stringtabs in functionfs_bind leads to a NULL pointer dereferenece. The bug was introduced by commit [fd7c9a00: “use usb_string_ids_n()”]. While at it, remove double initialisation of lang local variable in that function. ffs->strings_count does not need to be checked in any way since in the above scenario it will remain zero and usb_string_ids_n() is a no-operation when colled with 0 argument.

commit 682367c4 upstream. Recent Intel CPUs have 10 variable range MTRRs. Since operating systems sometime make assumptions on CPUs while they ignore capability MSRs, it is better for KVM to be consistent with recent CPUs.

commit c021f241 upstream. Fix a parser-bug in the omap2 muxing code where muxtable-entries will be wrongly selected if the requested muxname is a *prefix* of their m0-entry and they have a matching mN-entry. Fix by additionally checking that the length of the m0_entry is equal. For example muxing of "dss_data2.dss_data2" on omap32xx will fail because the prefix "dss_data2" will match the mux-entries "dss_data2" as well as "dss_data20", with the suffix "dss_data2" matching m0 (for dss_data2) and m4 (for dss_data20). Thus both are recognized as signal path candidates: Relevant muxentries from mux34xx.c: _OMAP3_MUXENTRY(DSS_DATA20, 90, "dss_data20", NULL, "mcspi3_somi", "dss_data2", "gpio_90", NULL, NULL, "safe_mode"), _OMAP3_MUXENTRY(DSS_DATA2, 72, "dss_data2", NULL, NULL, NULL, "gpio_72", NULL, NULL, "safe_mode"), This will result in a failure to mux the pin at all: _omap_mux_get_by_name: Multiple signal paths (2) for dss_data2.dss_data2 Patch should apply to linus' latest master down to rather old linux-2.6 trees.

commit 1fd819ec upstream. skb_segment copies frags around, so we need to copy them carefully to avoid accessing user memory after reporting completion to userspace through a callback. skb_segment doesn't normally happen on datapath: TSO needs to be disabled - so disabling zero copy in this case does not look like a big deal.

commit b9cd18de upstream. The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values. That is very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'. Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which always returns with an iret. However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to return to user space using 'sysret'. Otherwise the modifications that may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't necessarily take effect. Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

[ Upstream commit d3217b15 ] Consider the scenario: For a TCP-style socket, while processing the COOKIE_ECHO chunk in sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce(), after it has passed a series of sanity check, a new association would be created in sctp_unpack_cookie(), but afterwards, some processing maybe failed, and sctp_association_free() will be called to free the previously allocated association, in sctp_association_free(), sk_ack_backlog value is decremented for this socket, since the initial value for sk_ack_backlog is 0, after the decrement, it will be 65535, a wrap-around problem happens, and if we want to establish new associations afterward in the same socket, ABORT would be triggered since sctp deem the accept queue as full. Fix this issue by only decrementing sk_ack_backlog for associations in the endpoint's list.

commit 46ce0fe9 upstream. When removing a (sibling) event we do: raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); perf_group_detach(event); raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); <hole> perf_remove_from_context(event); raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling. So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the PMU. The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all other lists. Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed! Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has. The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups too and we're tearing down just the same.

commit f2495e22 upstream. In the highly unusual case where two threads are running concurrently through the scanning code scanning the same target, we run into the situation where one may allocate the target while the other is still using it. In this case, because the reap checks for STARGET_CREATED and kills the target without reference counting, the second thread will do the wrong thing on reap. Fix this by reference counting even creates and doing the STARGET_CREATED check in the final put.

commit e63ed0d7 upstream. This patch eliminates the reap_ref and replaces it with a proper kref. On last put of this kref, the target is removed from visibility in sysfs. The final call to scsi_target_reap() for the device is done from __scsi_remove_device() and only if the device was made visible. This ensures that the target disappears as soon as the last device is gone rather than waiting until final release of the device (which is often too long).

commit ab6c15bc upstream. Previously, the lower limit for the MIPS SC initialization loop was set incorrectly allowing one extra loop leading to writes beyond the MSC ioremap'd space. More precisely, the value of the 'imp' in the last loop increased beyond the msc_irqmap_t boundaries and as a result of which, the 'n' variable was loaded with an incorrect value. This value was used later on to calculate the offset in the MSC01_IC_SUP which led to random crashes like the following one: CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e75c0200, epc == 8058dba4, ra == 8058db90 [...] Call Trace: [<8058dba4>] init_msc_irqs+0x104/0x154 [<8058b5bc>] arch_init_irq+0xd8/0x154 [<805897b0>] start_kernel+0x220/0x36c Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

commit 91ad11d7 upstream. On MIPS calls to _mcount in modules generate 2 instructions to load the _mcount address (and therefore 2 relocations). The mcount_loc table should only reference the first of these, so the second is filtered out by checking the relocation offset and ignoring ones that immediately follow the previous one seen. However if a module has an _mcount call at offset 0, the second relocation would not be filtered out due to old_r_offset == 0 being taken to mean that the current relocation is the first one seen, and both would end up in the mcount_loc table. This results in ftrace_make_nop() patching both (adjacent) instructions to branches over the _mcount call sequence like so: 0xffffffffc08a8000: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8014 0xffffffffc08a8004: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8018 0xffffffffc08a8008: 2d 08 e0 03 move at,ra ... The second branch is in the delay slot of the first, which is defined to be unpredictable - on the platform on which this bug was encountered, it triggers a reserved instruction exception. Fix by initializing old_r_offset to ~0 and using that instead of 0 to determine whether the current relocation is the first seen.

commit 08270807 upstream. Revert commit 0def08e3 because check_range can't fail in migrate_to_node with considering current usecases. Quote from Johannes : I think it makes sense to revert. Not because of the semantics, but I : just don't see how check_range() could even fail for this callsite: : : 1. we pass mm->mmap->vm_start in there, so we should not fail due to : find_vma() : : 2. we pass MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK, so the discontig checks do not apply : and so can not fail : : 3. we pass MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, the page table loops will : continue until addr == end, so we never fail with -EIO And I added a new VM_BUG_ON for checking migrate_to_node's future usecase which might pass to MPOL_MF_STRICT.

commit 4a705fef upstream. There's a race between fork() and hugepage migration, as a result we try to "dereference" a swap entry as a normal pte, causing kernel panic. The cause of the problem is that copy_hugetlb_page_range() can't handle "swap entry" family (migration entry and hwpoisoned entry) so let's fix it.

commit 554086d8 upstream. The bad syscall nr paths are their own incomprehensible route through the entry control flow. Rearrange them to work just like syscalls that return -ENOSYS. This fixes an OOPS in the audit code when fast-path auditing is enabled and sysenter gets a bad syscall nr (CVE-2014-4508).
