commit 8244062e upstream. For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables. There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the module's init section. There's also a cut-down version that only contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core section. After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core versions. We do this under the module_mutex. However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because it's used in the oops path. It's also used in /proc/kallsyms. There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact this is what I saw when trying to reproduce. By grouping these variables together, we can use a carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU callback, so that's safe). We allocate the init one at the end of the module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module core, but that's probably overkill). [ Rebased for 4.4-stable and older, because the following changes aren't in the older trees: - e0224418: adds arg to is_core_symbol - 7523e4dc: module_init/module_core/init_size/core_size become init_layout.base/core_layout.base/init_layout.size/core_layout.size.

commit a6807590 upstream. The comparisons should be >= since 0x800 and 0x80 require an additional bit to store. For the 3 byte case, the existing shift would drop off 2 more bits than intended. For the 2 byte case, there should be 5 bits bits in byte 1, and 6 bits in byte 2. Signed-off-by:

commit e246eb56 upstream. Laszlo explains why this is a good idea, 'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables, and (for example) a crash might dump the last kilobytes of the dmesg into a number of pstore entries, each entry backed by a separate UEFI variable in the above GUID namespace, and with a variable name according to the above pattern. Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c". While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log, *without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.' There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by deleting these variables, which is the whole purpose of excluding things from the whitelist. Use the LINUX_EFI_CRASH_GUID guid and a wildcard '*' for the match so that we don't have to update the string in the future if new variable name formats are created for crash dump variables.

commit ed8b0de5 upstream. "rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

commit 8282f5d9 upstream. All the variables in this list so far are defined to be in the global namespace in the UEFI spec, so this just further ensures we're validating the variables we think we are. Including the guid for entries will become more important in future patches when we decide whether or not to allow deletion of variables based on presence in this list. Signed-off-by:

commit 7cae2bed upstream. As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350, it is possible to have vcpu->arch.st.last_steal initialized from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via KVM_SET_MSRS. Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads sched_info.run_delay). To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time, before copying steal time data to guest.

But dedotify modifies the symbol names in place, which can also modify unrelated symbols with a name that matches a suffix of a dotted name. To remove the leading dot of a symbol name we can just increment the pointer into the STRTAB section instead. Backport to all stables to avoid breakage when people update their binutils - mpe.

commit 7a36b930 upstream. The value 5000 was put here with the addition of the timeout field to ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session. It was originally added in mac80211 to save resources for drivers like iwlwifi, which only supports a limited number of concurrent aggregation sessions. Since iwlwifi does not use minstrel_ht and other drivers don't need this, 0 is a better default - especially since there have been recent reports of aggregation setup related issues reproduced with ath9k. This should improve stability without causing any adverse effects. Acked-by:

commit 8bf86273 upstream. Beniamino reported that he was getting an RTM_NEWLINK message for a given interface, after the RTM_DELLINK for it. It turns out that the message is a wireless extensions message, which was sent because the interface had been connected and disconnection while it was deleted caused a wext message. For its netlink messages, wext uses RTM_NEWLINK, but the message is without all the regular rtnetlink attributes, so "ip monitor link" prints just rudimentary information: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Deleted 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether (from my hwsim reproduction) This can cause userspace to get confused since it doesn't expect an RTM_NEWLINK message after RTM_DELLINK. The reason for this is that wext schedules a worker to send out the messages, and the scheduling delay can cause the messages to get out to userspace in different order. To fix this, have wext register a netdevice notifier and flush out any pending messages when netdevice state changes. This fixes any ordering whenever the original message wasn't sent by a notifier itself. Reported-by:

commit dc17147d upstream. Commit f3775549 ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection. Commit 3a630178 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if a trace event was enabled. Commit f3775549 only stopped the warnings when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace event was called when disabled. To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that it may be used now and in the future.

commit 7099e2e1 upstream. Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least) would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it isn't safe: When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA). There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's memory. (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.) The guest can learn something about the host this way: If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2. After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from host's tracing. This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already overwritten with guest's). We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much. We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that optimization isn't worth its code, IMO. (If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.) Fixes: 26a4f3c0 ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.")

commit 197b958c upstream. The OSS sequencer client tries to drain the pending events at releasing. Unfortunately, as spotted by syzkaller fuzzer, this may lead to an unkillable process state when the event has been queued at the far future. Since the process being released can't be signaled any longer, it remains and waits for the echo-back event in that far future. Back to history, the draining feature was implemented at the time we misinterpreted POSIX definition for blocking file operation. Actually, such a behavior is superfluous at release, and we should just release the device as is instead of keeping it up forever. This patch just removes the draining call that may block the release for too long time unexpectedly.

commit b24e7ad1 upstream. X32 ABI takes the 64bit timespec, thus the timer user status ioctl becomes incompatible with IA32. This results in NOTTY error when the ioctl is issued.

commit 6236d8bb upstream. The X32 ABI takes the same alignment like x86-64, and this may result in the incompatible struct size from ia32. Unfortunately, we hit this in some control ABI: struct snd_ctl_elem_value differs between them due to the position of 64bit variable array. This ends up with the unknown ioctl (ENOTTY) error. The fix is to add the compat entries for the new aligned struct. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit be629c62 upstream. When a directory is deleted, we don't take too much care about killing off all the dirents that belong to it — on the basis that on remount, the scan will conclude that the directory is dead anyway. This doesn't work though, when the deleted directory contained a child directory which was moved *out*. In the early stages of the fs build we can then end up with an apparent hard link, with the child directory appearing both in its true location, and as a child of the original directory which are this stage of the mount process we don't *yet* know is defunct. To resolve this, take out the early special-casing of the "directories shall not have hard links" rule in jffs2_build_inode_pass1(), and let the normal nlink processing happen for directories as well as other inodes. Then later in the build process we can set ic->pino_nlink to the parent inode#, as is required for directories during normal operaton, instead of the nlink. And complain only *then* about hard links which are still in evidence even after killing off all the unreachable paths. Reported-by:

commit 157078f6 upstream. This reverts commit 5ffd3412 ("jffs2: Fix lock acquisition order bug in jffs2_write_begin"). The commit modified jffs2_write_begin() to remove a deadlock with jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), but this introduced new deadlocks found by multiple users. page_lock() actually has to be called before mutex_lock(&c->alloc_sem) or mutex_lock(&f->sem) because jffs2_write_end() and jffs2_readpage() are called with the page locked, and they acquire c->alloc_sem and f->sem, resp. In other words, the lock order in jffs2_write_begin() was correct, and it is the jffs2_garbage_collect_live() path that has to be changed. Revert the commit to get rid of the new deadlocks, and to clear the way for a better fix of the original deadlock. Reported-by:

commit 287e6611 upstream. As reported by Soohoon Lee, the HDIO_GET_32BIT ioctl does not work correctly in compat mode with libata. I have investigated the issue further and found multiple problems that all appeared with the same commit that originally introduced HDIO_GET_32BIT handling in libata back in linux-2.6.8 and presumably also linux-2.4, as the code uses "copy_to_user(arg, &val, 1)" to copy a 'long' variable containing either 0 or 1 to user space. The problems with this are: * On big-endian machines, this will always write a zero because it stores the wrong byte into user space. * In compat mode, the upper three bytes of the variable are updated by the compat_hdio_ioctl() function, but they now contain uninitialized stack data. * The hdparm tool calling this ioctl uses a 'static long' variable to store the result. This means at least the upper bytes are initialized to zero, but calling another ioctl like HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT would fill them with data that remains stale when the low byte is overwritten. Fortunately libata doesn't implement any of the affected ioctl commands, so this would only happen when we query both an IDE and an ATA device in the same command such as "hdparm -N -c /dev/hda /dev/sda" * The libata code for unknown reasons started using ATA_IOC_GET_IO32 and ATA_IOC_SET_IO32 as aliases for HDIO_GET_32BIT and HDIO_SET_32BIT, while the ioctl commands that were added later use the normal HDIO_* names. This is harmless but rather confusing. This addresses all four issues by changing the code to use put_user() on an 'unsigned long' variable in HDIO_GET_32BIT, like the IDE subsystem does, and by clarifying the names of the ioctl commands.
