commit 85f8d3e5 upstream. The #define ADT7462_VOLT_COUNT is wrong, it should be 13 not 12. All the for loops that use this as a limit count are of the typical form, "for (n = 0; n < ADT7462_VOLT_COUNT; n++)", so to loop through all voltages w/o missing the last one it is necessary for the count to be one greater than it is. (Specifically, you will miss the +1.5V 3GPIO input with count = 12 vs. 13.) Signed-off-by:

commit 197027e6 upstream. Different motherboards have different PNP declarations for LM78/LM79 chips. Some declare the whole range of I/O ports (8 ports), some declare only the useful ports (2 ports at offset 5) and some declare fancy ranges, for example 4 ports at offset 4. To properly handle all cases, request all ports individually for probing. After we have determined that we really have an LM78 or LM79 chip, the useful port range will be requested again, as a single block. This fixes the driver on the Olivetti M3000 DT 540, at least.

I did not see a board which needs this yet, but I know of one for lm78 driver and I'd like to keep the logic of these two drivers in sync. Signed-off-by:

commit 80e1e823 upstream. This reverts commit 70362511 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and commit b04da8bf ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/ restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete. It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling __f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering. Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running lockdep to show the problem. It goes roughly like this: - f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock. - at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that commit 70362511 introduced, together with the pre-existing sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock dependency the other way too. So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call, we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown. That still guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all we really ever needed. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 59647b6a upstream. The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the user space futex is completely bogus. The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way for user space to spam the syslog. Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created. This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the pi_state->owner pid with the futex value. Reported-by:

commit 51246bfd upstream. If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses. Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL. This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it. Reported-by:

commit 5ecb01cf upstream. This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(), where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented only once, causing the backing object to not be released. If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system, this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan, which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this, see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>. The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b "[PATCH] futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key() also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning. Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected: the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(), but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi(). The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31 this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'. Signed-off-by:

commit 6f5a55f1 upstream. We incorrectly depended on the 'node_state/node_isset()' functions testing the node range, rather than checking it explicitly. That's not reliable, even if it might often happen to work. So do the proper explicit test. Reported-by:

commit 74401773 upstream. When cleaning up beacon buffers and slots, ath9k currently checks if sc->ah->opmode is set to a beacon related mode before cleaning up buffers. An unfortunate ordering of interface up/down commands can lead to sc->ah->opmode being set to monitor mode, while there are AP interfaces present on the same wiphy. Always cleaning up beacon buffers if present fixes this issue. Signed-off-by:

commit ca0bf64d upstream. This is the counterpart to cba76717 ("pktcdvd: remove broken dev_t export of class devices"). Device is not registered using dev_t, so it should not be destroyed using device_destroy which looks up the device by dev_t. This will fail and adding the device again will fail with the "duplicate name" error. This is fixed using device_unregister instead of device_destroy. Signed-off-by:

commit 931e80e4 upstream. The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic. So the right steps should be: flush_dcache_page(page); kmap_atomic(page); write to page; kunmap_atomic(page); flush_dcache_page(page); More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly. Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is not ARM-specific: int val = 0x11111111; fd = open("abc", O_RDWR); addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); *(addr+0) = 0x44444444; tmp = *(addr+0); *(addr+1) = 0x77777777; write(fd, &val, sizeof(int)); close(fd); The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected. Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777. Signed-off-by:

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about (un)registered events from connector.

commit a996996d upstream. No other driver does anything remotely like this that I know of except for the tty drivers, and I can't see any reason for random/urandom to do it. In fact, it's a (trivial, harmless) timing information leak. And obviously, it generates power- and flash-cycle wasting I/O, especially if combined with something like hwrngd. Also, it breaks ubifs's expectations. Signed-off-by:

commit 7ab02af4 upstream. Commit 221af7f8 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint, but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a bit more careful. In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup' stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state that we're just setting up. So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()', which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment. This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu environment. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 02b709df upstream. Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had no active vmap regions within them. Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so as to avoid a large build up of them). Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the previous bug fix. Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Tested-by:

commit de560423 upstream. RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU walking). While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier iteration. These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS changes into their local tree). Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Tested-by:

commit 5040ab67 upstream. Interestingly, when SIDPR is used in ata_piix, writes to DET in SControl sometimes get ignored leading to detection failure. Update sata_link_resume() such that it reads back SControl after clearing DET and retry if it's not clear. Signed-off-by:

(cherry picked from afbcf7ab) When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time will be significantly impacted. Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with a smaller monotonic clock. This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

[ Upstream commit 28f6aeea ] when using policy routing and the skb mark: there are cases where a back path validation requires us to use a different routing table for src ip validation than the one used for mapping ingress dst ip. One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be the destination system and therefore the local table is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would be used on outbound. Make the default behavior to allow the above and if users need to turn on the symmetry via sysctl src_valid_mark Signed-off-by:
