commit c5dd553b upstream. This works around a few glitches in the ST version of the PL011 serial driver when using very high baud rates, as we do in the Ux500: 3, 3.25, 4 and 4.05 Mbps. Problem Observed/rootcause: When using high baud-rates, and the baudrate*8 is getting close to the provided clock frequency (so a division factor close to 1), when using bursts of characters (so they are abutted), then it seems as if there is not enough time to detect the beginning of the start-bit which is a timing reference for the entire character, and thus the sampling moment of character bits is moving towards the end of each bit, instead of the middle. Fix: Increase slightly the RX baud rate of the UART above the theoretical baudrate by 5%. This will definitely give more margin time to the UART_RX to correctly sample the data at the middle of the bit period. Also fix the ages old copy-paste error in the very stressed comment, it's referencing the registers used in the PL010 driver rather than the PL011 ones. Signed-off-by:

commit c8cad4c8 upstream. When `do_cmd_ioctl()` allocates memory for the kernel copy of a channel list, it frees any previously allocated channel list in `async->cmd.chanlist` and replaces it with the new one. However, if the device is ever removed (or "detached") the cleanup code in `cleanup_device()` in "drivers.c" does not free this memory so it is lost. A sensible place to free the kernel copy of the channel list is in `do_become_nonbusy()` as at that point the comedi asynchronous command associated with the channel list is no longer valid. Free the channel list in `do_become_nonbusy()` instead of `do_cmd_ioctl()` and clear the pointer to prevent it being freed more than once. Note that `cleanup_device()` could be called at an inappropriate time while the comedi device is open, but that's a separate bug not related to this this patch. Signed-off-by:

commit 5d06e3df upstream. `parse_insn()` is dereferencing the user-space pointer `insn->data` directly when handling the `INSN_INTTRIG` comedi instruction. It shouldn't be using `insn->data` at all; it should be using the separate `data` pointer passed to the function. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

commit 40fe4f89 upstream. softsynth_read() reads a character at a time from the init string; when it finds the null terminator it sets the initialized flag but then repeats the last character. Additionally, if the read() buffer is not big enough for the init string, the next read() will start reading from the beginning again. So the caller may never progress to reading anything else. Replace the simple initialized flag with the current position in the init string, carried over between calls. Switch to reading real data once this reaches the null terminator. (This assumes that the length of the init string can't change, which seems to be the case. Really, the string and position belong together in a per-file private struct.) Tested-by:

commit ba1cbad9 upstream. The access beyond the end of device BUG_ON that was introduced to dm_request_fn via commit 29e4013d ("dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for request-based dm") was an overly drastic (but simple) response to this situation. I have received a report that this BUG_ON was hit and now think it would be better to use dm_kill_unmapped_request() to fail the clone and original request with -EIO. map_request() will assign the valid target returned by dm_table_find_target to tio->ti. But when the target isn't valid tio->ti is never assigned (because map_request isn't called); so add a check for tio->ti != NULL to dm_done(). Reported-by:

commit 8110e16d upstream. IBM reported a deadlock in select_parent(). This was found to be caused by taking rename_lock when already locked when restarting the tree traversal. There are two cases when the traversal needs to be restarted: 1) concurrent d_move(); this can only happen when not already locked, since taking rename_lock protects against concurrent d_move(). 2) racing with final d_put() on child just at the moment of ascending to parent; rename_lock doesn't protect against this rare race, so it can happen when already locked. Because of case 2, we need to be able to handle restarting the traversal when rename_lock is already held. This patch fixes all three callers of try_to_ascend(). IBM reported that the deadlock is gone with this patch. [ I rewrote the patch to be smaller and just do the "goto again" if the lock was already held, but credit goes to Miklos for the real work. - Linus ] Signed-off-by:

commit a76d7bd9 upstream. The open-coded mutex implementation for ARMv6+ cores suffers from a severe lack of barriers, so in the uncontended case we don't actually protect any accesses performed during the critical section. Furthermore, the code is largely a duplication of the ARMv6+ atomic_dec code but optimised to remove a branch instruction, as the mutex fastpath was previously inlined. Now that this is executed out-of-line, we can reuse the atomic access code for the locking (in fact, we use the xchg code as this produces shorter critical sections). This patch uses the generic xchg based implementation for mutexes on ARMv6+, which introduces barriers to the lock/unlock operations and also has the benefit of removing a fair amount of inline assembly code.

commit 0d00dc26 upstream. This patch (as1607) fixes a race that can occur if a USB host controller is removed while a process is reading the /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file. The usb_device_read() routine uses the bus->root_hub pointer to determine whether or not the root hub is registered. The is not a valid test, because the pointer is set before the root hub gets registered and remains set even after the root hub is unregistered and deallocated. As a result, usb_device_read() or usb_device_dump() can access freed memory, causing an oops. The patch changes the test to use the hcd->rh_registered flag, which does get set and cleared at the appropriate times. It also makes sure to hold the usb_bus_list_lock mutex while setting the flag, so that usb_device_read() will become aware of new root hubs as soon as they are registered. Signed-off-by:

commit a129a7c8 upstream. When running on 32bit the mce handler could misinterpret vm86 mode as ring 0. This can affect whether it does recovery or not; it was possible to panic when recovery was actually possible. Fix this by always forcing vm86 to look like ring 3. [ Backport to 3.0 notes: Things changed there slightly: - move mce_get_rip() up. It fills up m->cs and m->ip values which are evaluated in mce_severity(). Therefore move it up right before the mce_severity call. This seem to be another bug in 3.0? - Place the backport (fix m->cs in V86 case) to where m->cs gets filled which is mce_get_rip() in 3.0 ] Signed-off-by:

commit b5740f4b upstream. try_to_wake_up() has a problem which may change status from TASK_DEAD to TASK_RUNNING in race condition with SMI or guest environment of virtual machine. As a result, exited task is scheduled() again and panic occurs. Here is the sequence how it occurs: ----------------------------------+----------------------------- | CPU A | CPU B ----------------------------------+----------------------------- TASK A calls exit().... do_exit() exit_mm() down_read(mm->mmap_sem); rwsem_down_failed_common() set TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE set waiter.task <= task A list_add to sem->wait_list : raw_spin_unlock_irq() (I/O interruption occured) __rwsem_do_wake(mmap_sem) list_del(&waiter->list); waiter->task = NULL wake_up_process(task A) try_to_wake_up() (task is still TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) p->on_rq is still 1.) ttwu_do_wakeup() (*A) : (I/O interruption handler finished) if (!waiter.task) schedule() is not called due to waiter.task is NULL. tsk->state = TASK_RUNNING : check_preempt_curr(); : task->state = TASK_DEAD (*B) <--- set TASK_RUNNING (*C) schedule() (exit task is running again) BUG_ON() is called! -------------------------------------------------------- The execution time between (*A) and (*B) is usually very short, because the interruption is disabled, and setting TASK_RUNNING at (*C) must be executed before setting TASK_DEAD. HOWEVER, if SMI is interrupted between (*A) and (*B), (*C) is able to execute AFTER setting TASK_DEAD! Then, exited task is scheduled again, and BUG_ON() is called.... If the system works on guest system of virtual machine, the time between (*A) and (*B) may be also long due to scheduling of hypervisor, and same phenomenon can occur. By this patch, do_exit() waits for releasing task->pi_lock which is used in try_to_wake_up(). It guarantees the task becomes TASK_DEAD after waking up. Signed-off-by:

commit 067aa481 upstream. Commit 178db7d3, "spi: Fix device unregistration when unregistering the bus master", changed spi device initialization of dev.parent pointer to be the master's device pointer instead of his parent. This introduced a bug in spi-fsl-spi, since its usage of spi device pointer was not updated accordingly. This was later fixed by commit 5039a869, "spi/mpc83xx: fix NULL pdata dereference bug", but it missed another spot on fsl_spi_cs_control function where we also need to update usage of spi device pointer. This change address that. Signed-off-by:

commit 78b495c3 upstream UBI was mistakingly using 'kfree()' instead of 'kmem_cache_free()' when freeing "attach eraseblock" structures in vtbl.c. Thankfully, this happened only when we were doing auto-format, so many systems were unaffected. However, there are still many users affected. It is strange, but the system did not crash and nothing bad happened when the SLUB memory allocator was used. However, in case of SLOB we observed an crash right away.

commit 4188bba0 upstream. The driver should not try to switch to 1.8V when the SD 3.0 host controller does not have any UHS capabilities bits set (SDR50, DDR50 or SDR104). See page 72 of "SD Specifications Part A2 SD Host Controller Simplified Specification Version 3.00" under "1.8V Signaling Enable". Instead of setting SDR12 and SDR25 in the host capabilities data structure for all V3.0 host controllers, only set them if SDR104, SDR50 or DDR50 is set in the host capabilities register. This will prevent the switch to 1.8V later. Signed-off-by:

commit f2815f68 upstream. Here is Essential conditions to indicate Version 3.00 Card (SD_SPEC=2 and SD_SPEC3=1) : (1) The card shall support CMD6 (2) The card shall support CMD8 (3) The card shall support CMD42 (4) User area capacity shall be up to 2GB (SDSC) or 32GB (SDHC) User area capacity shall be more than or equal to 32GB and up to 2TB (SDXC) (5) Speed Class shall be supported (SDHC or SDXC) So even if SD card doesn't support any of the newly defined UHS-I bus speed mode, it can advertise itself as SD3.0 cards as long as it supports all the essential conditions of SD3.0 cards. Given this, these type of cards should atleast run in High Speed mode @50MHZ if it supports HS. But current initialization sequence for SD3.0 cards is such that these non-UHS-I SD3.0 cards runs in Default Speed mode @25MHz. This patch makes sure that these non-UHS-I SD3.0 cards run in High Speed Mode @50MHz. Tested this patch with SanDisk Extreme SDHC 8GB Class 10 card. Reported-by:

commit 720bb643 upstream. For some reason, when the lirc daemon learns that a usb remote control has been unplugged, it wants to read the sysfs attributes of the disappearing device. This is useful for uncovering transient inconsistencies, but less so for keeping the system running when such inconsistencies exist. Under some circumstances (like every time I unplug my dvb stick from my laptop), lirc catches an rc_dev whose raw event handler has been removed (presumably by ir_raw_event_unregister), and proceeds to interrogate the raw protocols supported by the NULL pointer. This patch avoids the NULL dereference, and ignores the issue of how this state of affairs came about in the first place. Version 2 incorporates changes recommended by Mauro Carvalho Chehab (-ENODEV instead of -EINVAL, and a signed-off-by). Signed-off-by:

commit cee58483 upstream Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to timespec_valid in commit 4e8b1452 ("time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid. Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid. This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes internal checking to use this more strict function.

commit 4e8b1452 upstream Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to a value large enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t (which is something larger then the year 2262). Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative offsets are injected via adjtimex. So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs by improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better use of timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to an invalid negative value or one that overflows ktime_t. Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to overflowing ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation cause the overflow. Reported-by:

commit 4fdcfa12 upstream. I just noticed after some recent updates, that the init path for the drop monitor protocol has a minor error. drop monitor maintains a per cpu structure, that gets initalized from a single cpu. Normally this is fine, as the protocol isn't in use yet, but I recently made a change that causes a failed skb allocation to reschedule itself . Given the current code, the implication is that this workqueue reschedule will take place on the wrong cpu. If drop monitor is used early during the boot process, its possible that two cpus will access a single per-cpu structure in parallel, possibly leading to data corruption. This patch fixes the situation, by storing the cpu number that a given instance of this per-cpu data should be accessed from. In the case of a need for a reschedule, the cpu stored in the struct is assigned the rescheule, rather than the currently executing cpu Tested successfully by myself. Signed-off-by:

Since we only use the trace_state_lock to prevent trace protocol state races, as well as hardware stat list updates on an rcu write side, we can just convert the spinlock to a mutex to avoid this problem.

commit 4b71ca6b upstream. For one, the driver device pointer needs to be filled in, or the lirc core will refuse to load the driver. And we really need to wire up all the platform_device bits. This has been tested via the lirc sourceforge tree and verified to work, been sitting there for months, finally getting around to sending it. :\ Signed-off-by:

commit 8323f26c upstream. Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d109 ("sched: Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he found the reason to be that the multiple task_group() invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values. Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain wrong comments. The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty, but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup stuff works. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit c4686c71 upstream. Commit d640113f introduced a regression on SMP systems where the processor core with ACPI id zero is disabled (typically should be the case because of hyperthreading). The regression got spread through stable kernels. On 3.0.X it got introduced via 3.0.18. Such platforms may be rare, but do exist. Look out for a disabled processor with acpi_id 0 in dmesg: ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x10] disabled) This problem has been observed on a: HP Proliant BL280c G6 blade This patch restricts the introduced workaround to platforms with nr_cpu_ids <= 1.

commit c531077f upstream. When using my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex eSATAp external disk enclosure, interface errors are always seen until 1.5Gbps is negotiated [1]. This occurs using any disk in the enclosure, and when the disk is connected directly with a generic passive eSATAp cable, we see stable 3Gbps operation as expected. Blacklist 3Gbps mode to avoid dataloss and the ~30s delay bus reset and renegotiation incurs. Signed-off-by:
