Commit 75182b16 ("x86/asm/entry: Switch all C consumers of kernel_stack to this_cpu_sp0()") changed current_thread_info to use this_cpu_sp0, and indirectly made it rely on init_tss which was exported with EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL_GPL. As a result some macros and inline functions such as set/get_fs, test_thread_flag and variants have been made unusable for external modules. Make cpu_tss exported with EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL so that these functions are accessible again, as they were previously.

I spotted two (difficult to hit) bugs while reviewing this. 1) There is a double free bug because we unregister "map_kset" in add_sysfs_runtime_map_entry() and also efi_runtime_map_init(). 2) If we fail to allocate "entry" then we should return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) instead of NULL.

A spinlock is regarded as contended when there is at least one waiter. Currently, the code that checks whether there are any waiters rely on tail value being greater than head. However, this is not true if tail reaches the max value and wraps back to zero, so arch_spin_is_contended() incorrectly returns 0 (not contended) when tail is smaller than head. The original code (before regression) handled this case by casting the (tail - head) to an unsigned value. This change simply restores that behavior.

A huge amount of NIC drivers use the DMA API, however if compiled under 32-bit an very important part of the DMA API can be ommitted leading to the drivers not working at all (especially if used with 'swiotlb=force iommu=soft'). As Prashant Sreedharan explains it: "the driver [tg3] uses DEFINE_DMA_UNMAP_ADDR(), dma_unmap_addr_set() to keep a copy of the dma "mapping" and dma_unmap_addr() to get the "mapping" value. On most of the platforms this is a no-op, but ... with "iommu=soft and swiotlb=force" this house keeping is required, ... otherwise we pass 0 while calling pci_unmap_/pci_dma_sync_ instead of the DMA address." As such enable this even when using 32-bit kernels. Reported-by: Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Acked-by: David S.

Until now, the EFI stub was only setting the 32 bit cmd_line_ptr in the setup_header structure, so on 64 bit platforms this could be truncated. This patch adds setting the upper bits of the buffer address in ext_cmd_line_ptr. This case was likely never hit, as the allocation for this buffer is done at the lowest available address. Only x86_64 kernels have this problem, as the 1-1 mapping mandated by EFI ensures that all memory is 32 bit addressable on 32 bit platforms. The EFI stub does not support mixed mode, so the 32 bit kernel on 64 bit firmware case does not need to be handled.

Some buggy firmware implementations update VariableNameSize on success such that it does not include the final NUL character which results in garbage in the efivarfs name entries. Use kzalloc on the efivar_entry (as is done in efivars.c) to ensure that the name is always NUL-terminated. The buggy firmware is: BIOS Information Vendor: Intel Corp.

Oleg Nesterov authored
When the TIF_SINGLESTEP tracee dequeues a signal, handle_signal() clears TIF_FORCED_TF and X86_EFLAGS_TF but leaves TIF_SINGLESTEP set. If the tracer does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP again, enable_single_step() sets X86_EFLAGS_TF but not TIF_FORCED_TF. This means that the subsequent PTRACE_CONT doesn't not clear X86_EFLAGS_TF, and the tracee gets the wrong SIGTRAP. Test-case (needs -O2 to avoid prologue insns in signal handler): #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <sys/user.h> #include <assert.h> #include <stddef.h> void handler(int n) { asm("nop"); } int child(void) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); signal(SIGALRM, handler); kill(getpid(), SIGALRM); return 0x23; } void *getip(int pid) { return (void*)ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid, offsetof(struct user, regs.rip), 0); } int main(void) { int pid, status; pid = fork(); if (!pid) return child(); assert(wait(&status) == pid); assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGALRM); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0); assert(wait(&status) == pid); assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP); assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 0); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0); assert(wait(&status) == pid); assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP); assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 1); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0) == 0); assert(wait(&status) == pid); assert(WIFEXITED(status) && WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0x23); return 0; } The last assert() fails because PTRACE_CONT wrongly triggers another single-step and X86_EFLAGS_TF can't be cleared by debugger until the tracee does sys_rt_sigreturn(). Change handle_signal() to do user_disable_single_step() if stepping, we do not need to preserve TIF_SINGLESTEP because we are going to do ptrace_notify(), and it is simply wrong to leak this bit. While at it, change the comment to explain why we also need to clear TF unconditionally after setup_rt_frame(). Note: in the longer term we should probably change setup_sigcontext() to use get_flags() and then just remove this user_disable_single_step(). And, the state of TIF_FORCED_TF can be wrong after restore_sigcontext() which can set/clear TF, this needs another fix. This fix fixes the 'single_step_syscall_32' testcase in the x86 testsuite: Before: ~/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./single_step_syscall_32 [RUN] Set TF and check nop [OK] Survived with TF set and 9 traps [RUN] Set TF and check int80 [OK] Survived with TF set and 9 traps [RUN] Set TF and check a fast syscall [WARN] Hit 10000 SIGTRAPs with si_addr 0xf7789cc0, ip 0xf7789cc0 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) After: ~/linux/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./single_step_syscall_32 [RUN] Set TF and check nop [OK] Survived with TF set and 9 traps [RUN] Set TF and check int80 [OK] Survived with TF set and 9 traps [RUN] Set TF and check a fast syscall [OK] Survived with TF set and 39 traps [RUN] Fast syscall with TF cleared [OK] Nothing unexpected happened Reported-by: Evan Teran <eteran@alum.rit.edu> Reported-by: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> Tested-by: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

Pull last-minute ASoC fix from Mark Brown: "This patch backs out a change that came in during the merge window which selects a configuration for GPIO4 on pcm512x CODECs that may not be suitable for all systems using the device. Changes for v4.1 will make this properly configurable but for now it's safest to revert to the v3.19 behaviour and leave the pin configuration alone. Sorry for sending this direct at the last minute but due to the GPIO misuse it'd be really good to get it in the release and I'd not realised it hadn't been sent yet - between some travel, a job change and other non-urgent fixes coming in I'd lost track of the urgency. It's been in -next for several weeks now, is isolated to the driver and fairly clear to inspection" * tag 'asoc-fix-v4.0-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound: ASoC: pcm512x: Remove hardcoding of pll-lock to GPIO4

Howard Mitchell authored
Currently GPIO4 is hardcoded to output the pll-lock signal. Unfortunately this is after the pll-out GPIO is configured which is selectable in the device tree. Therefore it is not possible to use GPIO4 for pll-out. Therefore this patch removes the configuration of GPIO4.

This reverts commit ecc19d17. It added a new warning to try to encourage driver writers to set the device capabities properly, but drivers haven't been updated and in the meantime it just generaters a scary message that users cannot actually do anything about. Warnings like these are appropriate if you actually expect to fix the code that causes them. They are not appropriate for releases.

Jan Engelhardt reports a strange oops with an invalid ->sense_buffer pointer in scsi_init_cmd_errh() with the blk-mq code. The sense_buffer pointer should have been initialized by the call to scsi_init_request() from blk_mq_init_rq_map(), but there seems to be some non-repeatable memory corruptor. This patch makes sure we initialize the whole struct request allocation (and the associated 'struct scsi_cmnd' for the SCSI case) to zero, by using __GFP_ZERO in the allocation. The old code initialized a couple of individual fields, leaving the rest undefined (although many of them are then initialized in later phases, like blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() etc. It's not entirely clear why this matters, but it's the rigth thing to do regardless, and with 4.0 imminent this is the defensive "let's just make sure everything is initialized properly" patch.
