      net: rtnetlink: bail out from rtnl_fdb_dump() on parse error · 0ff50e83
      Alexander Potapenko authored 
      rtnl_fdb_dump() failed to check the result of nlmsg_parse(), which led
to contents of |ifm| being uninitialized because nlh->nlmsglen was too
small to accommodate |ifm|. The uninitialized data may affect some
branches and result in unwanted effects, although kernel data doesn't
seem to leak to the userspace directly.

The bug has been detected with KMSAN and syzkaller.

For the record, here is the KMSAN report:

      net: fec: add post PHY reset delay DT property · 159a0760
      Quentin Schulz authored 
      Some PHY require to wait for a bit after the reset GPIO has been
toggled. This adds support for the DT property `phy-reset-post-delay`
which gives the delay in milliseconds to wait after reset.

If the DT property is not given, no delay is observed. Post reset delay
greater than 1000ms are invalid.

      sctp: set new_asoc temp when processing dupcookie · 7e062977
      Xin Long authored 
      After sctp changed to use transport hashtable, a transport would be
added into global hashtable when adding the peer to an asoc, then
the asoc can be got by searching the transport in the hashtbale.

The problem is when processing dupcookie in sctp_sf_do_5_2_4_dupcook,
a new asoc would be created. A peer with the same addr and port as
the one in the old asoc might be added into the new asoc, but fail
to be added into the hashtable, as they also belong to the same sk.

It causes that sctp's dupcookie processing can not really work.

Since the new asoc will be freed after copying it's information to
the old asoc, it's more like a temp asoc. So this patch is to fix
it by setting it as a temp asoc to avoid adding it's any transport
into the hashtable and also avoid allocing assoc_id.

An extra thing it has to do is to also alloc stream info for any
temp asoc, as sctp dupcookie process needs it to update old asoc.
But I don't think it would hurt something, as a temp asoc would
always be freed after finishing processing cookie echo packet.

      sctp: fix stream update when processing dupcookie · 3ab21379
      Xin Long authored 
      Since commit 3dbcc105 ("sctp: alloc stream info when initializing
asoc"), stream and stream.out info are always alloced when creating
an asoc.

So it's not correct to check !asoc->stream before updating stream
info when processing dupcookie, but would be better to check asoc
state instead.

      efi-pstore: Fix write/erase id tracking · c10e8031
      Kees Cook authored 
      Prior to the pstore interface refactoring, the "id" generated during
a backend pstore_write() was only retained by the internal pstore
inode tracking list. Additionally the "part" was ignored, so EFI
would encode this in the id. This corrects the misunderstandings
and correctly sets "id" during pstore_write(), and uses "part"
directly during pstore_erase().

      bonding: fix randomly populated arp target array · 72ccc471
      Jarod Wilson authored 
      In commit dc9c4d0f, the arp_target array moved from a static global
to a local variable. By the nature of static globals, the array used to
be initialized to all 0. At present, it's full of random data, which
that gets interpreted as arp_target values, when none have actually been
specified. Systems end up booting with spew along these lines:

None of these were actually specified as ARP targets, and the driver does
seem to clean up the mess okay, but it's rather noisy and confusing, leaks
values to userspace, and the 255.255.255.255 spew shows up even when debug
prints are disabled.

The fix: just zero out arp_target at init time.

While we're in here, init arp_all_targets_value in the right place.

      The assignmnet:

	ip_align = strict ? 2 : NET_IP_ALIGN;

in compare_pkt_ptr_alignment() trips up Coverity because we can only
get to this code when strict is true, therefore ip_align will always
be 2 regardless of NET_IP_ALIGN's value.

So just assign directly to '2' and explain the situation in the
comment above.

      bonding: fix accounting of active ports in 3ad · 751da2a6
      Jarod Wilson authored 
      As of 7bb11dc9 and 0622cab0, bond slaves in a 3ad bond are not
removed from the aggregator when they are down, and the active slave count
is NOT equal to number of ports in the aggregator, but rather the number
of ports in the aggregator that are still enabled. The sysfs spew for
bonding_show_ad_num_ports() has a comment that says "Show number of active
802.3ad ports.", but it's currently showing total number of ports, both
active and inactive. Remedy it by using the same logic introduced in
0622cab0 in __bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info(), so sysfs, procfs and
netlink all report the number of active ports. Note that this means that
IFLA_BOND_AD_INFO_NUM_PORTS really means NUM_ACTIVE_PORTS instead of
NUM_PORTS, and thus perhaps should be renamed for clarity.

Lightly tested on a dual i40e lacp bond, simulating link downs with an ip
link set dev <slave2> down, was able to produce the state where I could
see both in the same aggregator, but a number of ports count of 1.

      net: atheros: atl2: don't return zero on failure path in atl2_probe() · bd703a15
      Alexey Khoroshilov authored 
      If dma mask checks fail in atl2_probe(), it breaks off initialization,
deallocates all resources, but returns zero.

The patch adds proper error code return value and
make error code setup unified.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

      ipv6: fix out of bound writes in __ip6_append_data() · 232cd35d
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      Andrey Konovalov and idaifish@gmail.com reported crashes caused by
one skb shared_info being overwritten from __ip6_append_data()

Andrey program lead to following state :

copy -4200 datalen 2000 fraglen 2040
maxfraglen 2040 alloclen 2048 transhdrlen 0 offset 0 fraggap 6200

The skb_copy_and_csum_bits(skb_prev, maxfraglen, data + transhdrlen,
fraggap, 0); is overwriting skb->head and skb_shared_info

Since we apparently detect this rare condition too late, move the
code earlier to even avoid allocating skb and risking crashes.

Once again, many thanks to Andrey and syzkaller team.

      x86: fix 32-bit case of __get_user_asm_u64() · 33c9e972
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The code to fetch a 64-bit value from user space was entirely buggered,
and has been since the code was merged in early 2016 in commit
b2f68038 ("x86/mm/32: Add support for 64-bit __get_user() on 32-bit
kernels").

Happily the buggered routine is almost certainly entirely unused, since
the normal way to access user space memory is just with the non-inlined
"get_user()", and the inlined version didn't even historically exist.

The normal "get_user()" case is handled by external hand-written asm in
arch/x86/lib/getuser.S that doesn't have either of these issues.

There were two independent bugs in __get_user_asm_u64():

 - it still did the STAC/CLAC user space access marking, even though
   that is now done by the wrapper macros, see commit 11f1a4b9
   ("x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accesses").

   This didn't result in a semantic error, it just means that the
   inlined optimized version was hugely less efficient than the
   allegedly slower standard version, since the CLAC/STAC overhead is
   quite high on modern Intel CPU's.

 - the double register %eax/%edx was marked as an output, but the %eax
   part of it was touched early in the asm, and could thus clobber other
   inputs to the asm that gcc didn't expect it to touch.

   In particular, that meant that the generated code could look like
   this:

        mov    (%eax),%eax
        mov    0x4(%eax),%edx

   where the load of %edx obviously was _supposed_ to be from the 32-bit
   word that followed the source of %eax, but because %eax was
   overwritten by the first instruction, the source of %edx was
   basically random garbage.

The fixes are trivial: remove the extraneous STAC/CLAC entries, and mark
the 64-bit output as early-clobber to let gcc know that no inputs should
alias with the output register.
