[ Upstream commit b298d289 ] Commit a144c6a6 (PM: Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks are frozen) introduced usermodehelper_is_disabled() to warn and exit immediately if firmware is requested when usermodehelpers are disabled. However, it is racy. Consider the following scenario, currently used in drivers/base/firmware_class.c: ... if (usermodehelper_is_disabled()) goto out; /* Do actual work */ ... out: return err; Nothing prevents someone from disabling usermodehelpers just after the check in the 'if' condition, which means that it is quite possible to try doing the "actual work" with usermodehelpers disabled, leading to undesirable consequences. In particular, this race condition in _request_firmware() causes task freezing failures whenever suspend/hibernation is in progress because, it wrongly waits to get the firmware/microcode image from userspace when actually the usermodehelpers are disabled or userspace has been frozen. Some of the example scenarios that cause freezing failures due to this race are those that depend on userspace via request_firmware(), such as x86 microcode module initialization and microcode image reload. Previous discussions about this issue can be found at: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1198291/focus=1200591 This patch adds proper synchronization to fix this issue. It is to be noted that this patchset fixes the freezing failures but doesn't remove the warnings. IOW, it does not attempt to add explicit synchronization to x86 microcode driver to avoid requesting microcode image at inopportune moments. Because, the warnings were introduced to highlight such cases, in the first place. And we need not silence the warnings, since we take care of the *real* problem (freezing failure) and hence, after that, the warnings are pretty harmless anyway. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit caca9510 ] In commit a144c6a6 ("PM: Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks are frozen") we not only printed a warning if somebody tried to load the firmware when tasks are frozen - we also failed the load. But that check was done before the check for built-in firmware, and then when we disallowed usermode helpers during bootup (commit 288d5abe: "Boot up with usermodehelper disabled"), that actually means that built-in modules can no longer load their firmware even if the firmware is built in too. Which used to work, and some people depended on it for the R100 driver. So move the test for usermodehelper_is_disabled() down, to after checking the built-in firmware. This should fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40952Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit a144c6a6 ] Some drivers erroneously use request_firmware() from their ->resume() (or ->thaw(), or ->restore()) callbacks, which is not going to work unless the firmware has been built in. This causes system resume to stall until the firmware-loading timeout expires, which makes users think that the resume has failed and reboot their machines unnecessarily. For this reason, make _request_firmware() print a warning and return immediately with error code if it has been called when tasks are frozen and it's impossible to start any new usermode helpers.

commit 3c761ea0 upstream. The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined. Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task() just hardcodes to zero. We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit a32744d4 upstream. When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit 5c0a32fc ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly sized fields that are all correctly aligned. However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined: because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members it has. And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte alignment on x86-64. And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned. End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but not 8-byte aligned. As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64. Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode. But on x86, 32-bit and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes. So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from the size of the structure when running in a compat task. That way we will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects. Not pretty. Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly* the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.

That would have been ok if we used the same wrapped value for the copy, but we use a shifted value. We should just use the checked version of copy_to_user() because it's not going to make a difference to the speed. Signed-off-by:

commit 5f3ef64f upstream. When truncating inodes in the lower filesystem, eCryptfs directly invoked vmtruncate(). As Christoph Hellwig pointed out, vmtruncate() is a filesystem helper function, but filesystems may need to do more than just a call to vmtruncate(). This patch moves the lower inode truncation out of ecryptfs_truncate() and renames the function to truncate_upper(). truncate_upper() updates an iattr for the lower inode to indicate if the lower inode needs to be truncated upon return. ecryptfs_setattr() then calls notify_change(), using the updated iattr for the lower inode, to complete the truncation. For eCryptfs functions needing to truncate, ecryptfs_truncate() is reintroduced as a simple way to truncate the upper inode to a specified size and then truncate the lower inode accordingly. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451368Reported-by:

commit 340a3504 upstream. The xHCI 0.96 spec says that HS bulk and control endpoint NAK rate must be encoded as an exponent of two number of microframes. The endpoint descriptor has the NAK rate encoded in number of microframes. We were just copying the value from the endpoint descriptor into the endpoint context interval field, which was not correct. This lead to the VIA host rejecting the add of a bulk OUT endpoint from any USB 2.0 mass storage device. The fix is to use the correct encoding. Refactor the code to convert number of frames to an exponential number of microframes, and make sure we convert the number of microframes in HS bulk and control endpoints to an exponent. This should be back ported to kernels as old as 2.6.31, that contain the commit dfa49c4a "USB: xhci - fix math in xhci_get_endpoint_interval" Signed-off-by:

commit cab928ee upstream. On some systems with an Intel Panther Point xHCI host controller, the BIOS disables the xHCI PCI device during boot, and switches the xHCI ports over to EHCI. This allows the BIOS to access USB devices without having xHCI support. The downside is that the xHCI BIOS handoff mechanism will fail because memory mapped I/O is not enabled for the disabled PCI device. Jesse Barnes says this is expected behavior. The PCI core will enable BARs before quirks run, but it will leave it in an undefined state, and it may not have memory mapped I/O enabled. Make the generic USB quirk handler call pci_enable_device() to re-enable MMIO, and call pci_disable_device() once the host-specific BIOS handoff is finished. This will balance the ref counts in the PCI core. When the PCI probe function is called, usb_hcd_pci_probe() will call pci_enable_device() again. This should be back ported to kernels as old as 2.6.31. That was the first kernel with xHCI support, and no one has complained about BIOS handoffs failing due to memory mapped I/O being disabled on other hosts (EHCI, UHCI, or OHCI). Signed-off-by:

commit 8e43a905 upstream. Bootup with lockdep enabled has been broken on v7 since b46c0f74 ("ARM: 7321/1: cache-v7: Disable preemption when reading CCSIDR"). This is because v7_setup (which is called very early during boot) calls v7_flush_dcache_all, and the save_and_disable_irqs added by that patch ends up attempting to call into lockdep C code (trace_hardirqs_off()) when we are in no position to execute it (no stack, MMU off). Fix this by using a notrace variant of save_and_disable_irqs. The code already uses the notrace variant of restore_irqs. Reviewed-by:

commit b46c0f74 upstream. armv7's flush_cache_all() flushes caches via set/way. To determine the cache attributes (line size, number of sets, etc.) the assembly first writes the CSSELR register to select a cache level and then reads the CCSIDR register. The CSSELR register is banked per-cpu and is used to determine which cache level CCSIDR reads. If the task is migrated between when the CSSELR is written and the CCSIDR is read the CCSIDR value may be for an unexpected cache level (for example L1 instead of L2) and incorrect cache flushing could occur. Disable interrupts across the write and read so that the correct cache attributes are read and used for the cache flushing routine. We disable interrupts instead of disabling preemption because the critical section is only 3 instructions and we want to call v7_dcache_flush_all from __v7_setup which doesn't have a full kernel stack with a struct thread_info. This fixes a problem we see in scm_call() when flush_cache_all() is called from preemptible context and sometimes the L2 cache is not properly flushed out. Signed-off-by:

commit f2ea0f5f upstream. Use standard ror64() instead of hand-written. There is no standard ror64, so create it. The difference is shift value being "unsigned int" instead of uint64_t (for which there is no reason). gcc starts to emit native ROR instructions which it doesn't do for some reason currently.

(cherry picked from commit 4403158b) This is a seriously simplified patch from Eric Sandeen; copy of rationale follows: === mounting stacked ecryptfs on ecryptfs has been shown to lead to bugs in testing. For crypto info in xattr, there is no mechanism for handling this at all, and for normal file headers, we run into other trouble: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 IP: [<ffffffffa015b0b3>] ecryptfs_d_revalidate+0x43/0xa0 [ecryptfs] ...

commit 3a92d687 upstream. Unfortunately in reducing W from 80 to 16 we ended up unrolling the loop twice. As gcc has issues dealing with 64-bit ops on i386 this means that we end up using even more stack space (>1K). This patch solves the W reduction by moving LOAD_OP/BLEND_OP into the loop itself, thus avoiding the need to duplicate it. While the stack space still isn't great (>0.5K) it is at least in the same ball park as the amount of stack used for our C sha1 implementation. Note that this patch basically reverts to the original code so the diff looks bigger than it really is. Signed-off-by:
