commit a9acc536 upstream. SNB graphics devices have a bug that prevent them from accessing certain memory ranges, namely anything below 1M and in the pages listed in the table. So reserve those at boot if set detect a SNB gfx device on the CPU to avoid GPU hangs. Stephane Marchesin had a similar patch to the page allocator awhile back, but rather than reserving pages up front, it leaked them at allocation time.

commit ed4f2094 upstream. Converting a 64 Bit TOD format value to nanoseconds means that the value must be divided by 4.096. In order to achieve that we multiply with 125 and divide by 512. When used within sched_clock() this triggers an overflow after appr. 417 days. Resulting in a sched_clock() return value that is much smaller than previously and therefore may cause all sort of weird things in subsystems that rely on a monotonic sched_clock() behaviour. To fix this implement a tod_to_ns() helper function which converts TOD values without overflow and call this function from both places that open coded the conversion: sched_clock() and kvm_s390_handle_wait().

commit c43435d7 upstream. comedi_auto_config() associates a Comedi minor device number with an auto-configured hardware device and comedi_auto_unconfig() disassociates it. Currently, these use the hardware device's private data pointer to point to some allocated storage holding the minor device number. This is a bit of a waste of the hardware device's private data pointer, preventing it from being used for something more useful by the low-level comedi device drivers. For example, it would make more sense if comedi_usb_auto_config() was passed a pointer to the struct usb_interface instead of the struct usb_device, but this cannot be done currently because the low-level comedi drivers already use the private data pointer in the struct usb_interface for something more useful. This patch stops the comedi core hijacking the hardware device's private data pointer. Instead, comedi_auto_config() stores a pointer to the hardware device's struct device in the struct comedi_device_file_info associated with the minor device number, and comedi_auto_unconfig() calls new function comedi_find_board_minor() to recover the minor device number associated with the hardware device.

Woodhouse, David authored
commit 6491d4d0 upstream. The dma_pte_free_pagetable() function will only free a page table page if it is asked to free the *entire* 2MiB range that it covers. So if a page table page was used for one or more small mappings, it's likely to end up still present in the page tables... but with no valid PTEs. This was fine when we'd only be repopulating it with 4KiB PTEs anyway but the same virtual address range can end up being reused for a *large-page* mapping. And in that case were were trying to insert the large page into the second-level page table, and getting a complaint from the sanity check in __domain_mapping() because there was already a corresponding entry. This was *relatively* harmless; it led to a memory leak of the old page table page, but no other ill-effects. Fix it by calling dma_pte_clear_range (hopefully redundant) and dma_pte_free_pagetable() before setting up the new large page.

commit 96e5d1d3 upstream. In gfs2_trans_add_bh(), gfs2 was testing if a there was a bd attached to the buffer without having the gfs2_log_lock held. It was then assuming it would stay attached for the rest of the function. However, without either the log lock being held of the buffer locked, __gfs2_ail_flush() could detach bd at any time. This patch moves the locking before the test. If there isn't a bd already attached, gfs2 can safely allocate one and attach it before locking. There is no way that the newly allocated bd could be on the ail list, and thus no way for __gfs2_ail_flush() to detach it.

commit 55c1945e upstream. A high speed control or bulk endpoint may have bInterval set to zero, which means it does not NAK. If bInterval is non-zero, it means the endpoint NAKs at a rate of 2^(bInterval - 1). The xHCI code to compute the NAK interval does not handle the special case of zero properly. The current code unconditionally subtracts one from bInterval and uses it as an exponent. This causes a very large bInterval to be used, and warning messages like these will be printed: usb 1-1: ep 0x1 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes This may cause the xHCI host hardware to reject the Configure Endpoint command, which means the HS device will be unusable under xHCI ports. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31, that contain commit dfa49c4a "USB: xhci - fix math in xhci_get_endpoint_interval()".

commit 1d16638e upstream. If we do have endpoints named like "ep-a" then bEndpointAddress is counted internally by the gadget framework. If we do have endpoints named like "ep-1" then bEndpointAddress is assigned from the digit after "ep-". If we do have both, then it is likely that after we used up the "generic" endpoints we will use the digits and thus assign one bEndpointAddress to multiple endpoints. This theory can be proofed by using the completely enabled g_multi. Without this patch, the mass storage won't enumerate and times out because it shares endpoints with RNDIS. This patch also adds fills up the endpoints list so we have in total endpoints 1 to 15 in + out available while some of them are restricted to certain types like BULK or ISO. Without this change the nokia gadget won't load because the system does not provide enough (BULK) endpoints but it did before ep-a - ep-f were removed.

commit c0729eee upstream. Éric Piel reported a kernel oops in the "comedi_test" module. It was a NULL pointer dereference within `waveform_ai_interrupt()` (actually a timer function) that sometimes occurred when a running asynchronous command is cancelled (either by the `COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl or by closing the device file). This seems to be a race between the caller of `waveform_ai_cancel()` which on return from that function goes and tears down the running command, and the timer function which uses the command. In particular, `async->cmd.chanlist` gets freed (and the pointer set to NULL) by `do_become_nonbusy()` in "comedi_fops.c" but a previously scheduled `waveform_ai_interrupt()` timer function will dereference that pointer regardless, leading to the oops. Fix it by replacing the `del_timer()` call in `waveform_ai_cancel()` with `del_timer_sync()`.

commit 7d3135af upstream. When a low-level comedi driver auto-configures a device, a `struct comedi_dev_file_info` is allocated (as well as a `struct comedi_device`) by `comedi_alloc_board_minor()`. A pointer to the hardware `struct device` is stored as a cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info`. When the low-level comedi driver auto-unconfigures the device, `comedi_auto_unconfig()` uses the cookie to find the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` so it can detach the comedi device from the driver, clean it up and free it. A problem arises if the user manually unconfigures and reconfigures the comedi device using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl so that is no longer associated with the original hardware device. The problem is that the cookie is not cleared, so that a call to `comedi_auto_unconfig()` from the low-level driver will still find it, detach it, clean it up and free it. Stop this problem occurring by always clearing the `hardware_device` cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` whenever the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl call is successful.

Through trial-and-error (the pxa270 developer's manual is mostly incoherent on the topic of ac97 reset), I got cold reset to complete by setting the WARM_RST bit in the GCR register (and later noticed that pxa3xx does this for cold reset as well). Also, a timeout loop is needed to wait for the reset to complete. Tested on a palm treo 680 machine.

commit 128dd175 upstream. EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback. We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper(). This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both) will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.

commit 115c9b81 upstream. Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

commit 2bbf0a14 upstream. The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache. This patch disables it on the affected CPUs. The issue is similar to that one of last year: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another quirk for newer CPUs. The performance penalty without the patch depends on the circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%. The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same physical page under different virtual addresses, so different processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both cores of the same compute unit. More details can be found here: http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver. That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera). The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2, A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the range of model ids.

commit 1f1d06c3 upstream. On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill. Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.
