When allocating a pciback device fails, clear the private field. This could lead to an use-after free, however the 'really_probe' takes care of setting dev_set_drvdata(dev, NULL) in its failure path (which we would exercise if the ->probe function failed), so we we are OK. However lets be defensive as the code can change. Going forward we should clean up the pci_set_drvdata(dev, NULL) in the various code-base. That will be for another day.

commit f598282f ("PCI: Fix the NIU MSI-X problem in a better way") teaches us that dealing with MSI-X can be troublesome. Further checks in the MSI-X architecture shows that if the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY bit is turned of in the PCI_COMMAND we may not be able to access the BAR (since they are memory regions). Since the MSI-X tables are located in there.. that can lead to us causing PCIe errors. Inhibit us performing any operation on the MSI-X unless the MEMORY bit is set. Note that Xen hypervisor with: "x86/MSI-X: access MSI-X table only after having enabled MSI-X" will return: xen_pciback: 0000:0a:00.1: error -6 enabling MSI-X for guest 3! When the generic MSI code tries to setup the PIRQ without MEMORY bit set. Which means with later versions of Xen (4.6) this patch is not neccessary.

Otherwise just continue on, returning the same values as previously (return of 0, and op->result has the PIRQ value). This does not change the behavior of XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x]. The pci_disable_msi or pci_disable_msix have the checks for msi_enabled or msix_enabled so they will error out immediately. However the guest can still call these operations and cause us to disable the 'ack_intr'. That means the backend IRQ handler for the legacy interrupt will not respond to interrupts anymore. This will lead to (if the device is causing an interrupt storm) for the Linux generic code to disable the interrupt line. Naturally this will only happen if the device in question is plugged in on the motherboard on shared level interrupt GSI.

Otherwise an guest can subvert the generic MSI code to trigger an BUG_ON condition during MSI interrupt freeing: for (i = 0; i < entry->nvec_used; i++) BUG_ON(irq_has_action(entry->irq + i)); Xen PCI backed installs an IRQ handler (request_irq) for the dev->irq whenever the guest writes PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY (or PCI_COMMAND_IO) to the PCI_COMMAND register. This is done in case the device has legacy interrupts the GSI line is shared by the backend devices. To subvert the backend the guest needs to make the backend to change the dev->irq from the GSI to the MSI interrupt line, make the backend allocate an interrupt handler, and then command the backend to free the MSI interrupt and hit the BUG_ON. Since the backend only calls 'request_irq' when the guest writes to the PCI_COMMAND register the guest needs to call XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi before any other operation. This will cause the generic MSI code to setup an MSI entry and populate dev->irq with the new PIRQ value. Then the guest can write to PCI_COMMAND PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY and cause the backend to setup an IRQ handler for dev->irq (which instead of the GSI value has the MSI pirq). See 'xen_pcibk_control_isr'. Then the guest disables the MSI: XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi which ends up triggering the BUG_ON condition in 'free_msi_irqs' as there is an IRQ handler for the entry->irq (dev->irq). Note that this cannot be done using MSI-X as the generic code does not over-write dev->irq with the MSI-X PIRQ values. The patch inhibits setting up the IRQ handler if MSI or MSI-X (for symmetry reasons) code had been called successfully. P.S. Xen PCIBack when it sets up the device for the guest consumption ends up writting 0 to the PCI_COMMAND (see xen_pcibk_reset_device). XSA-120 addendum patch removed that - however when upstreaming said addendum we found that it caused issues with qemu upstream. That has now been fixed in qemu upstream.

The guest sequence of: a) XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix b) XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix results in hitting an NULL pointer due to using freed pointers. The device passed in the guest MUST have MSI-X capability. The a) constructs and SysFS representation of MSI and MSI groups. The b) adds a second set of them but adding in to SysFS fails (duplicate entry). 'populate_msi_sysfs' frees the newly allocated msi_irq_groups (note that in a) pdev->msi_irq_groups is still set) and also free's ALL of the MSI-X entries of the device (the ones allocated in step a) and b)). The unwind code: 'free_msi_irqs' deletes all the entries and tries to delete the pdev->msi_irq_groups (which hasn't been set to NULL). However the pointers in the SysFS are already freed and we hit an NULL pointer further on when 'strlen' is attempted on a freed pointer. The patch adds a simple check in the XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix to guard against that. The check for msi_enabled is not stricly neccessary.

The a) adds the entry to the dev->msi_list and sets msi_enabled. The b) adds a second entry but adding in to SysFS fails (duplicate entry) and deletes all of the entries from msi_list and returns (with msi_enabled is still set). c) pci_disable_msi passes the msi_enabled checks and hits: BUG_ON(list_empty(dev_to_msi_list(&dev->dev))); and blows up.

Double fetch vulnerabilities that happen when a variable is fetched twice from shared memory but a security check is only performed the first time. The xen_pcibk_do_op function performs a switch statements on the op->cmd value which is stored in shared memory. Interestingly this can result in a double fetch vulnerability depending on the performed compiler optimization. This patch fixes it by saving the xen_pci_op command before processing it. We also use 'barrier' to make sure that the compiler does not perform any optimization. This is part of XSA155.

Since indirect descriptors are in memory shared with the frontend, the frontend could alter the first_sect and last_sect values after they have been validated but before they are recorded in the request. This may result in I/O requests that overflow the foreign page, possibly overwriting local pages when the I/O request is executed.

Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly (i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the shared ring while it is being inspected). Safe usage of a request generally requires taking a local copy. Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy(). This takes care of ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible compiler optimizations. Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or omitting the copy.

With b3ca9b02, the AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM receive code was changed from using mutex_lock(&u->readlock) to mutex_lock_interruptible(&u->readlock) to prevent signals from being delayed for an indefinite time if a thread sleeping on the mutex happened to be selected for handling the signal. But this was never a problem with the stream receive code (as opposed to its datagram counterpart) as that never went to sleep waiting for new messages with the mutex held and thus, wouldn't cause secondary readers to block on the mutex waiting for the sleeping primary reader. As the interruptible locking makes the code more complicated in exchange for no benefit, change it back to using mutex_lock.

Unfortunately, the ACQUIRE semantics of the xchg operation mean that there is no guarantee the contents of the node will be visible before lock tail is updated.

ARC dwarf unwinder only supports CIE version == 1 The boot time dwarf sanitizer (part of binary lookup table constructor) would simply bail if it saw CIE version == 3, rendering unwinder with a NULL lookup table. It seems libgcc linked with kernel does have such entries. With fallback linear search removed, and a NULL binary lookup table, unwinder fails to generate any stack trace. So allow graceful ignoring of unsupported CIE entries.

The fix which removed linear searching of dwarf (because binary lookup data always exists) missed out on the fact that modules don't get the binary lookup tables info. This caused unwinding out of modules to stop working. So add binary lookup header setup (equivalent of eh_frame_hdr setup) to modules as well. While at it, confine the header setup to within unwinder code, reducing one API exposed out of unwinder code.

fou->udp_offloads is managed by RCU. As it is actually included inside the fou sockets, we cannot let the memory go out of scope before a grace period. We either can synchronize_rcu or switch over to kfree_rcu to manage the sockets. kfree_rcu seems appropriate as it is used by vxlan and geneve.

The patch fixes FCC port lock-up, which occurs as a result of a bug during underrun/collision handling. Within the tx_startup() function in mac-fcc.c, the address of last BD is not calculated correctly. As a result of wrong calculation of the last BD address, the next transmitted BD may be set to an area out of the transmit BD ring. This actually causes to port lock-up and it is not recoverable.

After commit 15bf176d ("gianfar: Don't enable the Filer w/o the Parser"), 'TSEC' model controllers (for example as seen on MPC8541E) always have 8 bytes stripped from the front of received frames. Only 'eTSEC' gianfar controllers have the RX Filer capability (amongst other enhancements). Previously this was treated as always enabled for both 'TSEC' and 'eTSEC' controllers. In commit 15bf176d ("gianfar: Don't enable the Filer w/o the Parser") a subtle change was made to the setting of 'uses_rxfcb' to effectively always set it (since 'rx_filer_enable' was always true). This had the side-effect of always stripping 8 bytes from the front of received frames on 'TSEC' type controllers. We now only enable the RX Filer capability on controller types that support it, thereby avoiding the issue for 'TSEC' type controllers.

dma-debug uses struct dma_debug_entry to keep track of dma coherent memory allocation requests. The virtual address is converted into a pfn and an offset. Previously, the offset was calculated using an incorrect bit mask. As a result, we saw incorrect error messages from dma-debug like the following: "DMA-API: exceeded 7 overlapping mappings of cacheline 0x03e00000" Cacheline 0x03e00000 does not exist on our platform.

The commit ba7c95ea ("rhashtable: Fix sleeping inside RCU critical section in walk_stop") introduced a new spinlock for the walker list. However, it did not convert all existing users of the list over to the new spin lock. Some continued to use the old mutext for this purpose. This obviously led to corruption of the list. The fix is to use the spin lock everywhere where we touch the list. This also allows us to do rcu_rad_lock before we take the lock in rhashtable_walk_start. With the old mutex this would've deadlocked but it's safe with the new spin lock. Fixes: ba7c95ea ("rhashtable: Fix sleeping inside RCU...")

OK we're doing the size computation before we enforce the limit on min_size. ---8<--- We need to do the initial hash table size computation after we have obtained the correct min_size/max_size parameters. Otherwise we may end up with a hash table whose size is outside the allowed envelope. Fixes: a998f712 ("rhashtable: Round up/down min/max_size to...")
