commit 690eac53 upstream. Commit fee7e49d ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page") made sure that we return the error properly for stack growth conditions. It also theorized that counting the guard page towards the stack limit might break something, but also said "Let's see if anybody notices". Somebody did notice. Apparently android-x86 sets the stack limit very close to the limit indeed, and including the guard page in the rlimit check causes the android 'zygote' process problems. So this adds the (fairly trivial) code to make the stack rlimit check be against the actual real stack size, rather than the size of the vma that includes the guard page.

commit 606185b2 upstream. This is a static checker fix. We write some binary settings to the sysfs file. One of the settings is the "->startup_profile". There isn't any checking to make sure it fits into the pyra->profile_settings[] array in the profile_activated() function. I added a check to pyra_sysfs_write_settings() in both places because I wasn't positive that the other callers were correct.

commit 269ad801 upstream. The dl_runtime_exceeded() function is supposed to ckeck if a SCHED_DEADLINE task must be throttled, by checking if its current runtime is <= 0. However, it also checks if the scheduling deadline has been missed (the current time is larger than the current scheduling deadline), further decreasing the runtime if this happens. This "double accounting" is wrong: - In case of partitioned scheduling (or single CPU), this happens if task_tick_dl() has been called later than expected (due to small HZ values). In this case, the current runtime is also negative, and replenish_dl_entity() can take care of the deadline miss by recharging the current runtime to a value smaller than dl_runtime - In case of global scheduling on multiple CPUs, scheduling deadlines can be missed even if the task did not consume more runtime than expected, hence penalizing the task is wrong This patch fix this problem by throttling a SCHED_DEADLINE task only when its runtime becomes negative, and not modifying the runtime Signed-off-by: Luca Abeni <luca.abeni@unitn.it> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@gmail.com> Cc: Dario Faggioli <raistlin@linux.it> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1418813432-20797-3-git-send-email-luca.abeni@unitn.itSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com>

commit 6a503c3b upstream. According to global EDF, tasks should be migrated between runqueues without checking if their scheduling deadlines and runtimes are valid. However, SCHED_DEADLINE currently performs such a check: a migration happens doing: deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0); set_task_cpu(next_task, later_rq->cpu); activate_task(later_rq, next_task, 0); which ends up calling dequeue_task_dl(), setting the new CPU, and then calling enqueue_task_dl(). enqueue_task_dl() then calls enqueue_dl_entity(), which calls update_dl_entity(), which can modify scheduling deadline and runtime, breaking global EDF scheduling. As a result, some of the properties of global EDF are not respected: for example, a taskset {(30, 80), (40, 80), (120, 170)} scheduled on two cores can have unbounded response times for the third task even if 30/80+40/80+120/170 = 1.5809 < 2 This can be fixed by invoking update_dl_entity() only in case of wakeup, or if this is a new SCHED_DEADLINE task.

commit 9e5e3661 upstream. Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep. Their analysis found the cause to be a combination of several factors: 1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait 2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die. 3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep(): if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) { wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait); return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep } However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting. 4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system). 5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep. So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue, and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the queue only when it gets scheduled. This was done to make sure that no process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to sleep. However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties. To prevent processes from being left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put kswapd to sleep. This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with 'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from prepare_kswapd_sleep() above. Note that if any process puts itself in the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed. Also we update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly describe the races it is preventing.

commit 2d6d7f98 upstream. Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition between the dirtying and truncation of a page: __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() __delete_from_page_cache() if (TestSetPageDirty(page)) page->mapping = NULL if (PageDirty()) dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY); dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE); if (page->mapping) account_page_dirtied(page) __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY); __inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE); which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE. Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with the page table lock held. The notable exception to this rule, though, is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists. However, do_wp_page() already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit, in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit in the presence of dirty ptes. Upgrade that wait to a fully locked set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above. Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race is no longer needed. Remove it. Reported-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Kirill A.

commit 7a3ef208 upstream. Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain. Each next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level. This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma instead of forking new one. It adds counter anon_vma->degree which counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma if counter is lower than two. As a result each anon_vma has either vma or at least two descending anon_vmas. In such trees half of nodes are leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times bigger than count of vmas. This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes when it searches where page is might be mapped.

commit 3245d6ac upstream. wait_consider_task() checks EXIT_ZOMBIE after EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE and both checks can fail if we race with EXIT_ZOMBIE -> EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE change in between, gcc needs to reload p->exit_state after security_task_wait(). In this case ->notask_error will be wrongly cleared and do_wait() can hang forever if it was the last eligible child. Many thanks to Arne who carefully investigated the problem. Note: this bug is very old but it was pure theoretical until commit b3ab0316 ("wait: completely ignore the EXIT_DEAD tasks"). Before this commit "-O2" was probably enough to guarantee that compiler won't read ->exit_state twice.

commit 0e63ea48 upstream. The early ioremap support introduced by patch bf4b558e ("arm64: add early_ioremap support") failed to add a call to early_ioremap_reset() at an appropriate time. Without this call, invocations of early_ioremap etc. that are done too late will go unnoticed and may cause corruption. This is exactly what happened when the first user of this feature was added in patch f84d0275 ("arm64: add EFI runtime services"). The early mapping of the EFI memory map is unmapped during an early initcall, at which time the early ioremap support is long gone. Fix by adding the missing call to early_ioremap_reset() to setup_arch(), and move the offending early_memunmap() to right after the point where the early mapping of the EFI memory map is last used.

commit 49a068f8 upstream. A struct xdr_stream at a page boundary might point to the end of one page or the beginning of the next, but xdr_truncate_encode isn't prepared to handle the former. This can cause corruption of NFSv4 READDIR replies in the case that a readdir entry that would have exceeded the client's dircount/maxcount limit would have ended exactly on a 4k page boundary. You're more likely to hit this case on large directories. Other xdr_truncate_encode callers are probably also affected.

commit fee7e49d upstream. Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma that is reported by /proc/maps. This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done. And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit d7824370: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area. This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error. It also effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit. Let's see if anybody notices. We could teach acct_stack_growth() to allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test, but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.

commit 1b1f3e16 upstream. If an ACPI device object whose _STA returns 0 (not present and not functional) has _PR0 or _PS0, its power_manageable flag will be set and acpi_bus_init_power() will return 0 for it. Consequently, if such a device object is passed to the ACPI device PM functions, they will attempt to carry out the requested operation on the device, although they should not do that for devices that are not present. To fix that problem make acpi_bus_init_power() return an error code for devices that are not present which will cause power_manageable to be cleared for them as appropriate in acpi_bus_get_power_flags(). However, the lists of power resources should not be freed for the device in that case, so modify acpi_bus_get_power_flags() to keep those lists even if acpi_bus_init_power() returns an error. Accordingly, when deciding whether or not the lists of power resources need to be freed, acpi_free_power_resources_lists() should check the power.flags.power_resources flag instead of flags.power_manageable, so make that change too. Furthermore, if acpi_bus_attach() sees that flags.initialized is unset for the given device, it should reset the power management settings of the device and re-initialize them from scratch instead of relying on the previous settings (the device may have appeared after being not present previously, for example), so make it use the 'valid' flag of the D0 power state as the initial value of flags.power_manageable for it and call acpi_bus_init_power() to discover its current power state.

commit 7ce67a38 upstream. The CPSW IP implements pulse-signaled interrupts. Due to that we must write a correct, pre-defined value to the CPDMA_MACEOIVECTOR register so the controller generates a pulse on the correct IRQ line to signal the End Of Interrupt. The way the driver is written today, all four IRQ lines are requested using the same IRQ handler and, because of that, we could fall into situations where a TX IRQ fires but we tell the controller that we ended an RX IRQ (or vice-versa). This situation triggers an IRQ storm on the reserved IRQ 127 of INTC which will in turn call ack_bad_irq() which will, then, print a ton of: unexpected IRQ trap at vector 00 In order to fix the problem, we are moving all calls to cpdma_ctlr_eoi() inside the IRQ handler and making sure we *always* write the correct value to the CPDMA_MACEOIVECTOR register. Note that the algorithm assumes that IRQ numbers and value-to-be-written-to-EOI are proportional, meaning that a write of value 0 would trigger an EOI pulse for the RX_THRESHOLD Interrupt and that's the IRQ number sitting in the 0-th index of our irqs_table array. This, however, is safe at least for current implementations of CPSW so we will refrain from making the check smarter (and, as a side-effect, slower) until we actually have a platform where IRQ lines are swapped. This patch has been tested for several days with AM335x- and AM437x-based platforms. AM57x was left out because there are still pending patches to enable ethernet in mainline for that platform. A read of the TRM confirms the statement on previous paragraph.

commit 6f896054 upstream. Commit 1d52c78a (Btrfs: try not to ENOSPC on log replay) added a check to skip delayed inode updates during log replay because it confuses the enospc code. But the delayed processing will end up ignoring delayed refs from log replay because the inode itself wasn't put through the delayed code. This can end up triggering a warning at commit time: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 778 at fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c:1410 btrfs_assert_delayed_root_empty+0x32/0x34() Which is repeated for each commit because we never process the delayed inode ref update.

commit 92b004d1 upstream. If the probe of an fb driver has been deferred due to missing dependencies, and the probe is later ran when a module is loaded, the fbdev framework will try to find a logo to use. However, the logos are __initdata, and have already been freed. This causes sometimes page faults, if the logo memory is not mapped, sometimes other random crashes as the logo data is invalid, and sometimes nothing, if the fbdev decides to reject the logo (e.g. the random value depicting the logo's height is too big). This patch adds a late_initcall function to mark the logos as freed. In reality the logos are freed later, and fbdev probe may be ran between this late_initcall and the freeing of the logos. In that case we will miss drawing the logo, even if it would be possible. Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com>

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.

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: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com>

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.

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.
