[ Upstream commit a25bab9d ] The per hardif sysfs file "batman_adv/elp_interval" is using the generic functions to store/show uint values. The helper __batadv_store_uint_attr requires the softif net_device as parameter to print the resulting change as info text when the users writes to this file. It uses the helper function batadv_info to add it at the same time to the kernel ring buffer and to the batman-adv debug log (when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is enabled). The function batadv_info requires as first parameter the batman-adv softif net_device. This parameter is then used to find the private buffer which contains the debug log for this batman-adv interface. But batadv_store_throughput_override used as first argument the slave net_device. This slave device doesn't have the batadv_priv private data which is access by batadv_info. Writing to this file with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG enabled can either lead to a segfault or to memory corruption.

[ Upstream commit 88d0895d ] The probe ELPs for WiFi interfaces are expanded to contain at least BATADV_ELP_MIN_PROBE_SIZE bytes. This is usually a lot more than the number of bytes which the template ELP packet requires. These extra padding bytes were not initialized and thus could contain data which were previously stored at the same location. It is therefore required to set it to some predefined or random values to avoid leaking private information from the system transmitting these kind of packets.

commit 77f18153 upstream. With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the compilation, one example: tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’: tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \ up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=] snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out); The gcc docs says: To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the function's return value which indicates whether or not its output has been truncated. Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the gcc stays silent.

Commit a3c0f847 upstream. Spectre variant 1 attacks are about this sequence of pseudo-code: index = load(user-manipulated pointer); access(base + index * stride); In order for the cache side-channel to work, the access() must me made to memory which userspace can detect whether cache lines have been loaded. On 32-bit ARM, this must be either user accessible memory, or a kernel mapping of that same user accessible memory. The problem occurs when the load() speculatively loads privileged data, and the subsequent access() is made to user accessible memory. Any load() which makes use of a user-maniplated pointer is a potential problem if the data it has loaded is used in a subsequent access. This also applies for the access() if the data loaded by that access is used by a subsequent access. Harden the get_user() accessors against Spectre attacks by forcing out of bounds addresses to a NULL pointer. This prevents get_user() being used as the load() step above. As a side effect, put_user() will also be affected even though it isn't implicated. Also harden copy_from_user() by redoing the bounds check within the arm_copy_from_user() code, and NULLing the pointer if out of bounds.

Commit b1cd0a14 upstream. Fixing __get_user() for spectre variant 1 is not sane: we would have to add address space bounds checking in order to validate that the location should be accessed, and then zero the address if found to be invalid. Since __get_user() is supposed to avoid the bounds check, and this is exactly what get_user() does, there's no point having two different implementations that are doing the same thing. So, when the Spectre workarounds are required, make __get_user() an alias of get_user().

Commit 8c8484a1 upstream. __get_user_error() is used as a fast accessor to make copying structure members as efficient as possible. However, with software PAN and the recent Spectre variant 1, the efficiency is reduced as these are no longer fast accessors. In the case of software PAN, it has to switch the domain register around each access, and with Spectre variant 1, it would have to repeat the access_ok() check for each access. Rather than using __get_user_error() to copy each semops element member, copy each semops element in full using __copy_from_user().

commit d79f7aa4 upstream. Indirectly reclaimable memory can consume a significant part of total memory and it's actually reclaimable (it will be released under actual memory pressure). So, the overcommit logic should treat it as free. Otherwise, it's possible to cause random system-wide memory allocation failures by consuming a significant amount of memory by indirectly reclaimable memory, e.g. dentry external names. If overcommit policy GUESS is used, it might be used for denial of service attack under some conditions. The following program illustrates the approach. It causes the kernel to allocate an unreclaimable kmalloc-256 chunk for each stat() call, so that at some point the overcommit logic may start blocking large allocation system-wide. int main() { char buf[256]; unsigned long i; struct stat statbuf; buf[0] = '/'; for (i = 1; i < sizeof(buf); i++) buf[i] = '_'; for (i = 0; 1; i++) { sprintf(&buf[248], "%8lu", i); stat(buf, &statbuf); } return 0; } This patch in combination with related indirectly reclaimable memory patches closes this issue.

commit f1782c9b upstream. I received a report about suspicious growth of unreclaimable slabs on some machines. I've found that it happens on machines with low memory pressure, and these unreclaimable slabs are external names attached to dentries. External names are allocated using generic kmalloc() function, so they are accounted as unreclaimable. But they are held by dentries, which are reclaimable, and they will be reclaimed under the memory pressure. In particular, this breaks MemAvailable calculation, as it doesn't take unreclaimable slabs into account. This leads to a silly situation, when a machine is almost idle, has no memory pressure and therefore has a big dentry cache. And the resulting MemAvailable is too low to start a new workload. To address the issue, the NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter is used to track the amount of memory, consumed by external names. The counter is increased in the dentry allocation path, if an external name structure is allocated; and it's decreased in the dentry freeing path. To reproduce the problem I've used the following Python script: import os for iter in range (0, 10000000): try: name = ("/some_long_name_%d" % iter) + "_" * 220 os.stat(name) except Exception: pass Without this patch: $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable MemAvailable: 7811688 kB $ python indirect.py $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable MemAvailable: 2753052 kB With the patch: $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable MemAvailable: 7809516 kB $ python indirect.py $ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable MemAvailable: 7749144 kB [guro@fb.com: fix indirectly reclaimable memory accounting for CONFIG_SLOB] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180312194140.19517-1-guro@fb.com [guro@fb.com: fix indirectly reclaimable memory accounting] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180313125701.7955-1-guro@fb.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180305133743.12746-5-guro@fb.comSigned-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit eb592546 upstream. Patch series "indirectly reclaimable memory", v2. This patchset introduces the concept of indirectly reclaimable memory and applies it to fix the issue of when a big number of dentries with external names can significantly affect the MemAvailable value. This patch (of 3): Introduce a concept of indirectly reclaimable memory and adds the corresponding memory counter and /proc/vmstat item. Indirectly reclaimable memory is any sort of memory, used by the kernel (except of reclaimable slabs), which is actually reclaimable, i.e. will be released under memory pressure. The counter is in bytes, as it's not always possible to count such objects in pages. The name contains BYTES by analogy to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB.

commit 1208d8a8 upstream. When disabling a USB3 port the hub driver will set the port link state to U3 to prevent "ejected" or "safely removed" devices that are still physically connected from immediately re-enumerating. If the device was really unplugged, then error messages were printed as the hub tries to set the U3 link state for a port that is no longer enabled. xhci-hcd ee000000.usb: Cannot set link state. usb usb8-port1: cannot disable (err = -32) Don't print error message in xhci-hub if hub tries to set port link state for a disabled port. Return -ENODEV instead which also silences hub driver.

commit 4628a645 upstream. Currently _PAGE_DEVMAP bit is not preserved in mprotect(2) calls. As a result we will see warnings such as: BUG: Bad page map in process JobWrk0013 pte:800001803875ea25 pmd:7624381067 addr:00007f0930720000 vm_flags:280000f9 anon_vma: (null) mapping:ffff97f2384056f0 index:0 file:457-000000fe00000030-00000009-000000ca-00000001_2001.fileblock fault:xfs_filemap_fault [xfs] mmap:xfs_file_mmap [xfs] readpage: (null) CPU: 3 PID: 15848 Comm: JobWrk0013 Tainted: G W 4.12.14-2.g7573215-default #1 SLE12-SP4 (unreleased) Hardware name: Intel Corporation S2600WFD/S2600WFD, BIOS SE5C620.86B.01.00.0833.051120182255 05/11/2018 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x5a/0x75 print_bad_pte+0x217/0x2c0 ? enqueue_task_fair+0x76/0x9f0 _vm_normal_page+0xe5/0x100 zap_pte_range+0x148/0x740 unmap_page_range+0x39a/0x4b0 unmap_vmas+0x42/0x90 unmap_region+0x99/0xf0 ? vma_gap_callbacks_rotate+0x1a/0x20 do_munmap+0x255/0x3a0 vm_munmap+0x54/0x80 SyS_munmap+0x1d/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x74/0x150 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2 ... when mprotect(2) gets used on DAX mappings. Also there is a wide variety of other failures that can result from the missing _PAGE_DEVMAP flag when the area gets used by get_user_pages() later.

commit bfba8e5c upstream. Inside set_pmd_migration_entry() we are holding page table locks and thus we can not sleep so we can not call invalidate_range_start/end() So remove call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end() because they are call inside the function calling set_pmd_migration_entry() (see try_to_unmap_one()).

commit ca2b4972 upstream.
