commit 1ddf0b1b upstream. In Linux 3.18 and below, GCC hoists the lsl instructions in the pvclock code all the way to the beginning of __vdso_clock_gettime, slowing the non-paravirt case significantly. For unknown reasons, presumably related to the removal of a branch, the performance issue is gone as of e76b027e x86,vdso: Use LSL unconditionally for vgetcpu but I don't trust GCC enough to expect the problem to stay fixed. There should be no correctness issue, because the __getcpu calls in __vdso_vlock_gettime were never necessary in the first place. Note to stable maintainers: In 3.18 and below, depending on configuration, gcc 4.9.2 generates code like this: 9c3: 44 0f 03 e8 lsl %ax,%r13d 9c7: 45 89 eb mov %r13d,%r11d 9ca: 0f 03 d8 lsl %ax,%ebx This patch won't apply as is to any released kernel, but I'll send a trivial backported version if needed. [ Backported by Andy Lutomirski. Should apply to all affected versions.

commit 394f56fe upstream. The theory behind vdso randomization is that it's mapped at a random offset above the top of the stack. To avoid wasting a page of memory for an extra page table, the vdso isn't supposed to extend past the lowest PMD into which it can fit. Other than that, the address should be a uniformly distributed address that meets all of the alignment requirements. The current algorithm is buggy: the vdso has about a 50% probability of being at the very end of a PMD. The current algorithm also has a decent chance of failing outright due to incorrect handling of the case where the top of the stack is near the top of its PMD. This fixes the implementation. The paxtest estimate of vdso "randomisation" improves from 11 bits to 18 bits. (Disclaimer: I don't know what the paxtest code is actually calculating.) It's worth noting that this algorithm is inherently biased: the vdso is more likely to end up near the end of its PMD than near the beginning. Ideally we would either nix the PMD sharing requirement or jointly randomize the vdso and the stack to reduce the bias. In the mean time, this is a considerable improvement with basically no risk of compatibility issues, since the allowed outputs of the algorithm are unchanged. As an easy test, doing this: for i in `seq 10000` do grep -P vdso /proc/self/maps |cut -d- -f1 done |sort |uniq -d used to produce lots of output (1445 lines on my most recent run). A tiny subset looks like this: 7fffdfffe000 7fffe01fe000 7fffe05fe000 7fffe07fe000 7fffe09fe000 7fffe0bfe000 7fffe0dfe000 Note the suspicious fe000 endings. With the fix, I get a much more palatable 76 repeated addresses. Reviewed-by:

commit 7d47559e upstream. The flip stall detector kicks in when pending>=INTEL_FLIP_COMPLETE. That means if we first call intel_prepare_page_flip() but don't call intel_finish_page_flip(), the next stall check will erroneosly think the page flip was somehow stuck. With enough debug spew emitted from the interrupt handler my 830 hangs when this happens. My theory is that the previous vblank interrupt gets sufficiently delayed that the handler will see the pending bit set in IIR, but ISR still has the bit set as well (ie. the flip was processed by CS but didn't complete yet). In this case the handler will proceed to call intel_check_page_flip() immediately after intel_prepare_page_flip(). It then tries to print a backtrace for the stuck flip WARN, which apparetly results in way too much debug spew delaying interrupt processing further. That then seems to cause an endless loop in the interrupt handler, and the machine is dead until the watchdog kicks in and reboots. At least limiting the number of iterations of the loop in the interrupt handler also prevented the hang. So it seems better to not call intel_prepare_page_flip() without immediately calling intel_finish_page_flip(). The IIR/ISR trickery avoids races here so this is a perfectly safe thing to do. v2: Fix typo in commit message (checkpatch) Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88381 Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85888Reviewed-by:

commit a3a87844 upstream. When a key is being garbage collected, it's key->user would get put before the ->destroy() callback is called, where the key is removed from it's respective tracking structures. This leaves a key hanging in a semi-invalid state which leaves a window open for a different task to try an access key->user. An example is find_keyring_by_name() which would dereference key->user for a key that is in the process of being garbage collected (where key->user was freed but ->destroy() wasn't called yet - so it's still present in the linked list). This would cause either a panic, or corrupt memory. Fixes CVE-2014-9529. Signed-off-by:

commit 5b6698b0 upstream. The fragmentation code was replaced in 610bfc6b ("batman-adv: Receive fragmented packets and merge"). The new code provided a mostly unused parameter skb for the merging function. It is used inside the function to calculate the additionally needed skb tailroom. But instead of increasing its own tailroom, it is only increasing the tailroom of the first queued skb. This is not correct in some situations because the first queued entry can be a different one than the parameter. An observed problem was: 1. packet with size 104, total_size 1464, fragno 1 was received - packet is queued 2. packet with size 1400, total_size 1464, fragno 0 was received - packet is queued at the end of the list 3. enough data was received and can be given to the merge function (1464 == (1400 - 20) + (104 - 20)) - merge functions gets 1400 byte large packet as skb argument 4. merge function gets first entry in queue (104 byte) - stored as skb_out 5. merge function calculates the required extra tail as total_size - skb->len - pskb_expand_head tail of skb_out with 64 bytes 6. merge function tries to squeeze the extra 1380 bytes from the second queued skb (1400 byte aka skb parameter) in the 64 extra tail bytes of skb_out Instead calculate the extra required tail bytes for skb_out also using skb_out instead of using the parameter skb. The skb parameter is only used to get the total_size from the last received packet. This is also the total_size used to decide that all fragments were received. Reported-by:

commit 7e77bdeb upstream. If a request is backlogged, it's complete() handler will get called twice: once with -EINPROGRESS, and once with the final error code. af_alg's complete handler, unlike other users, does not handle the -EINPROGRESS but instead always completes the completion that recvmsg() is waiting on. This can lead to a return to user space while the request is still pending in the driver. If userspace closes the sockets before the requests are handled by the driver, this will lead to use-after-frees (and potential crashes) in the kernel due to the tfm having been freed. The crashes can be easily reproduced (for example) by reducing the max queue length in cryptod.c and running the following (from http://www.chronox.de/libkcapi.html) on AES-NI capable hardware: $ while true; do kcapi -x 1 -e -c '__ecb-aes-aesni' \ -k 00000000000000000000000000000000 \ -p 00000000000000000000000000000000 >/dev/null & done Signed-off-by:

On the other hand, uAPSD can result in some power consumption benefits, but for now just disable it to get performance with affected APs back up. Signed-off-by:

One of my tests shows that when we really don't have space to reclaim via flush_space and also run out of space, this async reclaim work loops on adding itself into the workqueue and keeps writing something to disk according to iostat's results, and these writes mainly comes from commit_transaction which writes super_block.

The output memory operand and the input register operand both need to be reloaded using a register in class R1_REGS when generating 64-bit code. This fails because there's only a single register in the class. Instead, use a memory clobber. This also makes the __ldcw macro a compiler memory barrier. Signed-off-by:

commit 041d7b98 upstream. A regression was caused by commit 780a7654: audit: Make testing for a valid loginuid explicit. (which in turn attempted to fix a regression caused by e1760bd5) When audit_krule_to_data() fills in the rules to get a listing, there was a missing clause to convert back from AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET to AUDIT_LOGINUID. This broke userspace by not returning the same information that was sent and expected. The rule: auditctl -a exit,never -F auid=-1 gives: auditctl -l LIST_RULES: exit,never f24=0 syscall=all when it should give: LIST_RULES: exit,never auid=-1 (0xffffffff) syscall=all Tag it so that it is reported the same way it was set. Create a new private flags audit_krule field (pflags) to store it that won't interact with the public one from the API. Signed-off-by:

commit f43c2718 upstream. On arm64 the TTBR0_EL1 register is set to either the reserved TTBR0 page tables on boot or to the active_mm mappings belonging to user space processes, it must never be set to swapper_pg_dir page tables mappings. When a CPU is booted its active_mm is set to init_mm even though its TTBR0_EL1 points at the reserved TTBR0 page mappings. This implies that when __cpu_suspend is triggered the active_mm can point at init_mm even if the current TTBR0_EL1 register contains the reserved TTBR0_EL1 mappings. Therefore, the mm save and restore executed in __cpu_suspend might turn out to be erroneous in that, if the current->active_mm corresponds to init_mm, on resume from low power it ends up restoring in the TTBR0_EL1 the init_mm mappings that are global and can cause speculation of TLB entries which end up being propagated to user space. This patch fixes the issue by checking the active_mm pointer before restoring the TTBR0 mappings. If the current active_mm == &init_mm, the code sets the TTBR0_EL1 to the reserved TTBR0 mapping instead of switching back to the active_mm, which is the expected behaviour corresponding to the TTBR0_EL1 settings when __cpu_suspend was entered.

commit 714f5992 upstream. CPU suspend is the standard kernel interface to be used to enter low-power states on ARM64 systems. Current cpu_suspend implementation by default assumes that all low power states are losing the CPU context, so the CPU registers must be saved and cleaned to DRAM upon state entry. Furthermore, the current cpu_suspend() implementation assumes that if the CPU suspend back-end method returns when called, this has to be considered an error regardless of the return code (which can be successful) since the CPU was not expected to return from a code path that is different from cpu_resume code path - eg returning from the reset vector. All in all this means that the current API does not cope well with low-power states that preserve the CPU context when entered (ie retention states), since first of all the context is saved for nothing on state entry for those states and a successful state entry can return as a normal function return, which is considered an error by the current CPU suspend implementation. This patch refactors the cpu_suspend() API so that it can be split in two separate functionalities. The arm64 cpu_suspend API just provides a wrapper around CPU suspend operation hook. A new function is introduced (for architecture code use only) for states that require context saving upon entry: __cpu_suspend(unsigned long arg, int (*fn)(unsigned long)) __cpu_suspend() saves the context on function entry and calls the so called suspend finisher (ie fn) to complete the suspend operation. The finisher is not expected to return, unless it fails in which case the error is propagated back to the __cpu_suspend caller. The API refactoring results in the following pseudo code call sequence for a suspending CPU, when triggered from a kernel subsystem: /* * int cpu_suspend(unsigned long idx) * @idx: idle state index */ { -> cpu_suspend(idx) |---> CPU operations suspend hook called, if present |--> if (retention_state) |--> direct suspend back-end call (eg PSCI suspend) else |--> __cpu_suspend(idx, &back_end_finisher); } By refactoring the cpu_suspend API this way, the CPU operations back-end has a chance to detect whether idle states require state saving or not and can call the required suspend operations accordingly either through simple function call or indirectly through __cpu_suspend() which carries out state saving and suspend finisher dispatching to complete idle state entry.

commit a5fd9733 upstream. commit 4dbd2771 "tick: export nohz tick idle symbols for module use" was merged via the thermal tree without an explicit ack from the relevant maintainers. The exports are abused by the intel powerclamp driver which implements a fake idle state from a sched FIFO task. This causes all kinds of wreckage in the NOHZ core code which rightfully assumes that tick_nohz_idle_enter/exit() are only called from the idle task itself. Recent changes in the NOHZ core lead to a failure of the powerclamp driver and now people try to hack completely broken and backwards workarounds into the NOHZ core code. This is completely unacceptable and just papers over the real problem. There are way more subtle issues lurking around the corner. The real solution is to fix the powerclamp driver by rewriting it with a sane concept, but that's beyond the scope of this. So the only solution for now is to remove the calls into the core NOHZ code from the powerclamp trainwreck along with the exports.

commit d70a1b98 upstream. The Arcam rPAC seems to have the same problem - whenever anything (alsamixer, udevd, 3.9+ kernel from 60af3d03, ..) attempts to access mixer / control interface of the card, the firmware "locks up" the entire device, resulting in SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed (-5): Input/output error from alsa-lib. Other operating systems can somehow read the mixer (there seems to be playback volume/mute), but any manipulation is ignored by the device (which has hardware volume controls). Signed-off-by:

commit 3fb2f423 upstream. It turns out that there's a lurking ABI issue. GCC, when compiling this in a 32-bit program: struct user_desc desc = { .entry_number = idx, .base_addr = base, .limit = 0xfffff, .seg_32bit = 1, .contents = 0, /* Data, grow-up */ .read_exec_only = 0, .limit_in_pages = 1, .seg_not_present = 0, .useable = 0, }; will leave .lm uninitialized. This means that anything in the kernel that reads user_desc.lm for 32-bit tasks is unreliable. Revert the .lm check in set_thread_area(). The value never did anything in the first place.

commit 00d8689b upstream. Originally, the I2C controller supported by the i2c-mv64xxx driver requires a lot of software support: an interrupt is generated at each step of an I2C transaction (after the start bit, after sending the address, etc.) and the driver is in charge of re-programming the I2C controller to do the next step of the I2C transaction. This explains the fairly complex state machine that the driver has. On Marvell Armada XP and later processors (Armada 375, 38x, etc.), the I2C controller was extended with a part called the "I2C Bridge", which allows to offload the I2C transaction completely to the hardware. Initial support for this mechanism was added in commit 930ab3d4 ("i2c: mv64xxx: Add I2C Transaction Generator support"). However, the implementation done in this commit has two related issues, which this commit fixes by completely changing how the offload implementation is done: * SMBus read transfers, where there is one write to select the register immediately followed in the same transaction by one read, were making the processor hang. This was easier visible on the Marvell Armada XP WRT1900AC platform using a driver for an I2C LED controller, or on other Armada XP platforms by using a simple 'i2cget' command to read an I2C EEPROM. * The implementation was based on the fact that the offload engine was re-programmed to transfer each message of an I2C xfer: this meant that each message sent with the offload engine was starting with a normal I2C start sequence. However, the I2C subsystem assumes that all messages belonging to the same xfer will use the so-called "repeated start" so that the entire I2C xfer is seen as one transfer by the I2C devices and cannot be interrupt by other I2C masters on the same bus. In fact, the "I2C Bridge" allows to offload three types of xfer: - xfer of one write message - xfer of one read message - xfer of one write message followed by one read message For all other situations, we have to fallback to not using the "I2C Bridge" in order to get proper I2C semantics. Therefore, this commit reworks the offload implementation to put it not at the message level, but at the xfer level: in the mv64xxx_i2c_xfer() function, we decide if the transaction can be offloaded (in which case it is handled by the mv64xxx_i2c_offload_xfer() function), or otherwise it is handled by the slow path (implemented in the existing mv64xxx_i2c_execute_msg()). This allows to simplify the state machine, which no longer needs to have any state related to the offload implementation: the offload implementation is now completely separated from the slow path (with the exception of the interrupt handler, of course). In summary: - mv64xxx_i2c_can_offload() will analyze an I2C xfer and decided of the "I2C Bridge" can be used to offload it or not. - mv64xxx_i2c_offload_xfer() will actually program the "I2C Bridge" to offload one xfer (of either one or two messages), and block using mv64xxx_i2c_wait_for_completion() until the xfer completes. - The interrupt handler mv64xxx_i2c_intr() is modified to push the offload related code to a separate function, mv64xxx_i2c_intr_offload(). It will take care of reading the received data if needed. This commit was tested on: - Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3-4 (EEPROM on I2C and RTC on I2C) - Armada XP WRT1900AC (LED controller on I2C) - Armada XP GP (EEPROM on I2C) Fixes: 930ab3d4 ("i2c: mv64xxx: Add I2C Transaction Generator support") Signed-off-by:

commit 5164bece upstream. In bio-based DM's clone_endio(), when target_type doesn't implement .end_io (e.g. linear) r will be always be initialized 0. So if a WRITE SAME bio fails WRITE SAME will not be disabled as intended. Fix this by initializing r to error, rather than 0, in clone_endio(). Signed-off-by:
