A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads /proc/kcore: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370 [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0 [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0 [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.

The designed workflow for the caches in kmemcg is: register it with memcg_register_cache() if kmemcg is already available or later on when a new kmemcg appears at memcg_update_cache_sizes() which will handle all caches in the system. The caches created at boot time will be handled by the later, and the memcg-caches as well as any system caches that are registered later on by the former. There is a bug, however, in memcg_register_cache: we correctly set up the array size, but do not mark the cache as a root cache. This means that allocations for any cache appearing late in the game will see memcg->memcg_params->is_root_cache == false, and in particular, trigger VM_BUG_ON(!cachep->memcg_params->is_root_cache) in __memcg_kmem_cache_get. The obvious fix is to include the missing assignment.

With commit 8e72033f ("thp: make MADV_HUGEPAGE check for mm->def_flags") the VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag may be set on s390 in mm->def_flags for certain processes, to prevent future thp mappings. This would be overwritten by do_mlockall(), which sets it back to 0 with an optional VM_LOCKED flag set. To fix this, instead of overwriting mm->def_flags in do_mlockall(), only the VM_LOCKED flag should be set or cleared.

Commit e7e034e1 ("drivers/rtc/rtc-pl031.c: fix the missing operation on enable") accidentally broke the ST variants of PL031. The bit that is being poked as "clockwatch" enable bit for the ST variants does the work of bit 0 on this variant. Bit 0 is used for a clock divider on the ST variants, and setting it to 1 will affect timekeeping in a very bad way.

Stoney Wang authored
When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel, there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss. The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default setting. This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or "nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system without requiring manual workarounds. The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table. As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec, chapter 2.9. Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode enabled: When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL: 1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical or xapic phys driver at first. 2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode. 3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe() will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode. Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check FADT PHYSICAL. Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the problem.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King: "I was going to hold these off until v3.8 was out, and send them with a stable tag, but as everyone else is pushing much bigger fixes which Linus is accepting, let's save people from the hastle of having to patch v3.8 back into working or use a stable kernel. Looking at the diffstat, this really is high value for its size; this is miniscule compared to how the -rc6 to tip diffstat currently looks. So, four patches in this set: - Punit Agrawal reports that the kernel no longer boots on MPCore due to a new assumption made in the GIC code which isn't true of earlier GIC designs. This is the biggest change in this set. - Punit's boot log also revealed a bunch of WARN_ON() dumps caused by the DT-ification of the GIC support without fixing up non-DT Realview - which now sees a greater number of interrupts than it did before. - A fix for the DMA coherent code from Marek which uses the wrong check for atomic allocations; this can result in spinlock lockups or other nasty effects. - A fix from Will, which will affect all Android based platforms if not applied (which use the 2G:2G VM split) - this causes particularly 'make' to misbehave unless this bug is fixed." * 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: ARM: 7641/1: memory: fix broken mmap by ensuring TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is aligned ARM: DMA mapping: fix bad atomic test ARM: realview: ensure that we have sufficient IRQs available ARM: GIC: fix GIC cpumask initialization

automount-support is broken on the parisc architecture, because the existing #if list does not include a check for defined(__hppa__). The HPPA (parisc) architecture is similiar to other 64bit Linux targets where we have to define autofs_wqt_t (which is passed back and forth to user space) as int type which has a size of 32bit across 32 and 64bit kernels. During the discussion on the mailing list, H. Peter Anvin suggested to invert the #if list since only specific platforms (specifically those who do not have a 32bit userspace, like IA64 and Alpha) should have autofs_wqt_t as unsigned long type. This suggestion is probably the best way to go, since Arm64 (and maybe others?) seems to have a non-working automounter. So in the long run even for other new upcoming architectures this inverted check seem to be the best solution, since it will not require them to change this #if again (unless they are 64bit only).

We have received multiple reports of mmap failures when running with a 2:2 vm split. These manifest as either -EINVAL with a non page-aligned address (ending 0xaaa) or a SEGV, depending on the application. The issue is commonly observed in children of make, which appears to use bottom-up mmap (assumedly because it changes the stack rlimit). Further investigation reveals that this regression was triggered by 394ef640 ("mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on arm architecture"), whereby TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is no longer page-aligned for bottom-up mmap, causing get_unmapped_area to choke on misaligned addressed. This patch fixes the problem by defining TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE in terms of TASK_SIZE and explicitly aligns the result to 16M, matching the other end of the heap.

The rest of the kernel tests for __GFP_WAIT not being set to indicate an atomic allocation. We need to do the same. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Some early GIC implementations return zero for the first distributor CPU routing register. This means we can't rely on that telling us which CPU interface we're connected to. We know that these platforms implement PPIs for IRQs 29-31 - but we shouldn't assume that these will always be populated. So, instead, scan for a non-zero CPU routing register in the first 32 IRQs and use that as our CPU mask.

Ian Campbell says: ==================== The Xen netback implementation contains a couple of flaws which can allow a guest to cause a DoS in the backend domain, potentially affecting other domains in the system. CVE-2013-0216 is a failure to sanity check the ring producer/consumer pointers which can allow a guest to cause netback to loop for an extended period preventing other work from occurring. CVE-2013-0217 is a memory leak on an error path which is guest triggerable. The following series contains the fixes for these issues, as previously included in Xen Security Advisory 39: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2013-02/msg00001.html Changes in v2: - Typo and block comment format fixes - Added stable Cc ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
