      KVM: x86: Fix nmi injection failure when vcpu got blocked · 47a66eed
      ZhuangYanying authored
      When spin_lock_irqsave() deadlock occurs inside the guest, vcpu threads,
      other than the lock-holding one, would enter into S state because of
      pvspinlock. Then inject NMI via libvirt API "inject-nmi", the NMI could
      not be injected into vm.
      
      The reason is:
      1 It sets nmi_queued to 1 when calling ioctl KVM_NMI in qemu, and sets
      cpu->kvm_vcpu_dirty to true in do_inject_external_nmi() meanwhile.
      2 It sets nmi_queued to 0 in process_nmi(), before entering guest, because
      cpu->kvm_vcpu_dirty is true.
      
      It's not enough just to check nmi_queued to decide whether to stay in
      vcpu_block() or not. NMI should be injected immediately at any situation.
      Add checking nmi_pending, and testing KVM_REQ_NMI replaces nmi_queued
      in vm_vcpu_has_events().
      
      Do the same change for SMIs.

      KVM: SVM: do not zero out segment attributes if segment is unusable or not present · d9c1b543
      Roman Pen authored
      This is a fix for the problem [1], where VMCB.CPL was set to 0 and interrupt
      was taken on userspace stack.  The root cause lies in the specific AMD CPU
      behaviour which manifests itself as unusable segment attributes on SYSRET.
      The corresponding work around for the kernel is the following:
      
      61f01dd9 ("x86_64, asm: Work around AMD SYSRET SS descriptor attribute issue")
      
      In other turn virtualization side treated unusable segment incorrectly and
      restored CPL from SS attributes, which were zeroed out few lines above.
      
      In current patch it is assured only that P bit is cleared in VMCB.save state
      and segment attributes are not zeroed out if segment is not presented or is
      unusable, therefore CPL can be safely restored from DPL field.
      
      This is only one part of the fix, since QEMU side should be fixed accordingly
      not to zero out attributes on its side.  Corresponding patch will follow.

      ALSA: hda - Fix applying MSI dual-codec mobo quirk · d2c3b14e
      Takashi Iwai authored
      The previous commit [63691587: ALSA: hda - Apply dual-codec quirk
      for MSI Z270-Gaming mobo] attempted to apply the existing dual-codec
      quirk for a MSI mobo.  But it turned out that this isn't applied
      properly due to the MSI-vendor quirk before this entry.  I overlooked
      such two MSI entries just because they were put in the wrong position,
      although we have a list ordered by PCI SSID numbers.
      
      This patch fixes it by rearranging the unordered entries.

      iscsi-target: Always wait for kthread_should_stop() before kthread exit · 5e0cf5e6
      Jiang Yi authored
      There are three timing problems in the kthread usages of iscsi_target_mod:
      
       - np_thread of struct iscsi_np
       - rx_thread and tx_thread of struct iscsi_conn
      
      In iscsit_close_connection(), it calls
      
       send_sig(SIGINT, conn->tx_thread, 1);
       kthread_stop(conn->tx_thread);
      
      In conn->tx_thread, which is iscsi_target_tx_thread(), when it receive
      SIGINT the kthread will exit without checking the return value of
      kthread_should_stop().
      
      So if iscsi_target_tx_thread() exit right between send_sig(SIGINT...)
      and kthread_stop(...), the kthread_stop() will try to stop an already
      stopped kthread.
      
      This is invalid according to the documentation of kthread_stop().

      iscsi-target: Fix initial login PDU asynchronous socket close OOPs · 25cdda95
      Nicholas Bellinger authored
      This patch fixes a OOPs originally introduced by:
      
         commit bb048357
         Author: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>
         Date:   Thu Sep 5 14:54:04 2013 -0700
      
         iscsi-target: Add sk->sk_state_change to cleanup after TCP failure
      
      which would trigger a NULL pointer dereference when a TCP connection
      was closed asynchronously via iscsi_target_sk_state_change(), but only
      when the initial PDU processing in iscsi_target_do_login() from iscsi_np
      process context was blocked waiting for backend I/O to complete.
      
      To address this issue, this patch makes the following changes.
      
      First, it introduces some common helper functions used for checking
      socket closing state, checking login_flags, and atomically checking
      socket closing state + setting login_flags.
      
      Second, it introduces a LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU bit to know when a TCP
      connection has dropped via iscsi_target_sk_state_change(), but the
      initial PDU processing within iscsi_target_do_login() in iscsi_np
      context is still running.  For this case, it sets LOGIN_FLAGS_CLOSED,
      but doesn't invoke schedule_delayed_work().
      
      The original NULL pointer dereference case reported by MNC is now handled
      by iscsi_target_do_login() doing a iscsi_target_sk_check_close() before
      transitioning to FFP to determine when the socket has already closed,
      or iscsi_target_start_negotiation() if the login needs to exchange
      more PDUs (eg: iscsi_target_do_login returned 0) but the socket has
      closed.  For both of these cases, the cleanup up of remaining connection
      resources will occur in iscsi_target_start_negotiation() from iscsi_np
      process context once the failure is detected.
      
      Finally, to handle to case where iscsi_target_sk_state_change() is
      called after the initial PDU procesing is complete, it now invokes
      conn->login_work -> iscsi_target_do_login_rx() to perform cleanup once
      existing iscsi_target_sk_check_close() checks detect connection failure.
      For this case, the cleanup of remaining connection resources will occur
      in iscsi_target_do_login_rx() from delayed workqueue process context
      once the failure is detected.

      This is another attempt to work around the VLA used in
      mixer_us16x08.c.  Basically the temporary array is used individually
      for two cases, and we can declare locally in each block, instead of
      hackish max() usage.

      Revert "ALSA: usb-audio: purge needless variable length array" · 64188cfb
      Takashi Iwai authored
      This reverts commit 89b593c3 ("ALSA: usb-audio: purge needless
      variable length array").  The patch turned out to cause a severe
      regression, triggering an Oops at snd_usb_ctl_msg().  It was overseen
      that snd_usb_ctl_msg() writes back the response to the given buffer,
      while the patch changed it to a read-only const buffer.  (One should
      always double-check when an extra pointer cast is present...)
      
      As a simple fix, just revert the affected commit.  It was merely a
      cleanup.  Although it brings VLA again, it's clearer as a fix.  We'll
      address the VLA later in another patch.

      "Yes, people use FOLL_FORCE ;)" · f511c0b1
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This effectively reverts commit 8ee74a91 ("proc: try to remove use
      of FOLL_FORCE entirely")
      
      It turns out that people do depend on FOLL_FORCE for the /proc/<pid>/mem
      case, and we're talking not just debuggers. Talking to the affected people, the use-cases are:
      
      Keno Fischer:
       "We used these semantics as a hardening mechanism in the julia JIT. By
        opening /proc/self/mem and using these semantics, we could avoid
        needing RWX pages, or a dual mapping approach. We do have fallbacks to
        these other methods (though getting EIO here actually causes an assert
        in released versions - we'll updated that to make sure to take the
        fall back in that case).
      
        Nevertheless the /proc/self/mem approach was our favored approach
        because it a) Required an attacker to be able to execute syscalls
        which is a taller order than getting memory write and b) didn't double
        the virtual address space requirements (as a dual mapping approach
        would).
      
        I think in general this feature is very useful for anybody who needs
        to precisely control the execution of some other process. Various
        debuggers (gdb/lldb/rr) certainly fall into that category, but there's
        another class of such processes (wine, various emulators) which may
        want to do that kind of thing.
      
        Now, I suspect most of these will have the other process under ptrace
        control, so maybe allowing (same_mm || ptraced) would be ok, but at
        least for the sandbox/remote-jit use case, it would be perfectly
        reasonable to not have the jit server be a ptracer"
      
      Robert O'Callahan:
       "We write to readonly code and data mappings via /proc/.../mem in lots
        of different situations, particularly when we're adjusting program
        state during replay to match the recorded execution.
      
        Like Julia, we can add workarounds, but they could be expensive."
      
      so not only do people use FOLL_FORCE for both reads and writes, but they
      use it for both the local mm and remote mm.
      
      With these comments in mind, we likely also cannot add the "are we
      actively ptracing" check either, so this keeps the new code organization
      and does not do a real revert that would add back the original comment
      about "Maybe we should limit FOLL_FORCE to actual ptrace users?"

      KVM: SVM: ignore type when setting segment registers · 8eae9570
      Gioh Kim authored
      Commit 19bca6ab ("KVM: SVM: Fix cross vendor migration issue with
      unusable bit") added checking type when setting unusable.
      So unusable can be set if present is 0 OR type is 0.
      According to the AMD processor manual, long mode ignores the type value
      in segment descriptor. And type can be 0 if it is read-only data segment.
      Therefore type value is not related to unusable flag.
      
      This patch is based on linux-next v4.12.0-rc3.

      KVM: nVMX: fix nested_vmx_check_vmptr failure paths under debugging · cbf71279
      Radim Krčmář authored
      kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() will return 0 if userspace is
      single-stepping the guest.
      
      kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() uses return status convention of exit
      handler: 0 means "exit to userspace" and 1 means "continue vm entries".
      The problem is that nested_vmx_check_vmptr() return status means
      something else: 0 is ok, 1 is error.
      
      This means we would continue executing after a failure.  Static checker
      noticed it because vmptr was not initialized.

      In descriptor mode, the descriptor running pointer is not maintained
      by the interrupt handler, thus, driver finds the running descriptor
      from the descriptor pointer field in the CHCRB register.
      But, CHCRB::DPTR indicates *next* descriptor pointer, not current.
      Thus, The residue calculation will be missed. This patch fixup it.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull pin control fixes from Linus Walleij:
       "Here is an overdue pull request for pin control fixes, the most
        prominent feature is to make Intel Chromebooks (and I suspect any
        other Cherryview-based Intel thing) happy again, which we really want
        to see.
      
        There is a patch hitting drivers/firmware/* that I was uncertain to
        who actually manages, but I got Andy Shevchenko's and Dmitry Torokov's
        review tags on it and I trust them both 100% to do the right thing for
        Intel platform drivers.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Make a few Intel Chromebooks with Cherryview DMI firmware work
           smoothly.
      
         - A fix for some bogus allocations in the generic group management
           code.
      
         - Some GPIO descriptor lookup table stubs. Merged through the pin
           control tree for administrative reasons.
      
         - Revert the "bi-directional" and "output-enable" generic properties:
           we need more discussions around this. It seems other SoCs are using
           input/output gate enablement and these terms are not correct.
      
         - Fix mux and drive strength atomically in the MXS driver.
      
         - Fix the SPDIF function on sunxi A83T.
      
         - OF table terminators and other small fixes"

      kthread: fix boot hang (regression) on MIPS/OpenRISC · b0f5a8f3
      Vegard Nossum authored
      This fixes a regression in commit 4d6501dc where I didn't notice
      that MIPS and OpenRISC were reinitialising p->{set,clear}_child_tid to
      NULL after our initialisation in copy_process().
      
      We can simply get rid of the arch-specific initialisation here since it
      is now always done in copy_process() before hitting copy_thread{,_tls}().
      
      Review notes:
      
       - As far as I can tell, copy_process() is the only user of
         copy_thread_tls(), which is the only caller of copy_thread() for
         architectures that don't implement copy_thread_tls().
      
       - After this patch, there is no arch-specific code touching
         p->set_child_tid or p->clear_child_tid whatsoever.
      
       - It may look like MIPS/OpenRISC wanted to always have these fields be
         NULL, but that's not true, as copy_process() would unconditionally
         set them again _after_ calling copy_thread_tls() before commit
         4d6501dc.
