Following arm64 commit bc3ee18a (arm64: init: Move of_clk_init to time_init()), vexpress_osc_of_setup() is called via of_clk_init() long before initcalls are issued. Initialising the vexpress oscillators requires the vespress sysregs to be already initialised, so this patch adds an explicit call to vexpress_sysreg_of_early_init() in vexpress oscillator setup function.

Commit 6a20dbd6, "tty: Fix race condition between __tty_buffer_request_room and flush_to_ldisc" correctly identifies an unsafe race condition between __tty_buffer_request_room() and flush_to_ldisc(), where the consumer flush_to_ldisc() prematurely advances the head before consuming the last of the data committed. For example: CPU 0 | CPU 1 __tty_buffer_request_room | flush_to_ldisc ... | ... | count = head->commit - head->read n = tty_buffer_alloc() | b->commit = b->used | b->next = n | | if (!count) /* T */ | if (head->next == NULL) /* F */ | buf->head = head->next In this case, buf->head has been advanced but head->commit may have been updated with a new value. Instead of reintroducing an unnecessary lock, fix the race locklessly. Read the commit-next pair in the reverse order of writing, which guarantees the commit value read is the latest value written if the head is advancing.

When 'console=hvc0' is specified to the kernel parameter in x86 KVM guest, hvc console is setup within a kthread. However, that will cause SEGV and the boot will fail when the driver is builtin to the kernel, because currently hvc_console_setup() is annotated with '__init'. This patch removes '__init' to boot the guest successfully with 'console=hvc0'.

The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO & !OPOST. And since it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two writers: * the ECHOing from a workqueue and * pty_write from the process race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows. If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is: int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags); struct tty_buffer *tb = port->buf.tail; ... memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb->used), chars, space); ... tb->used += space; so the race of the two can result in something like this: A B __tty_buffer_request_room __tty_buffer_request_room memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) tb->used += space; memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) ->BOOM B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb->used increment. Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to serialize echo output with normal tty writes. This ensures the tty buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and everything is fine. Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is present in kernels at least after commit d945cb9c (pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3. js: add more info to the commit log js: switch to bool js: lock unconditionally js: lock only the tty->ops->write call References: CVE-2014-0196 Reported-and-tested-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Recently, the default DMA ops have been changed to non-coherent for alignment with 32-bit ARM platforms (and DT files).

Commit d57c33c5 (add generic fixmap.h) added (among other similar things) set_fixmap_io to deal with early ioremap of devices. More recently, commit bf4b558e (arm64: add early_ioremap support) converted the arm64 earlyprintk to use set_fixmap_io. A side effect of this conversion is that my virtual machines have stopped booting when I pass "earlyprintk=uart8250-8bit,0x3f8" to the guest kernel. Turns out that the new earlyprintk code doesn't care at all about sub-page offsets, and just assumes that the earlyprintk device will be page-aligned. Obviously, that doesn't play well with the above example. Further investigation shows that set_fixmap_io uses __set_fixmap instead of __set_fixmap_offset. A fix is to introduce a set_fixmap_offset_io that uses the latter, and to remove the superflous call to fix_to_virt (which only returns the value that set_fixmap_io has already given us). With this applied, my VMs are back in business. Tested on a Cortex-A57 platform with kvmtool as platform emulation.

Fix for the arm64 kern_addr_valid() function to recognize virtual addresses in the kernel logical memory map. The function fails as written because it does not check whether the addresses in that region are mapped at the pmd level to 2MB or 512MB pages, continues the page table walk to the pte level, and issues a garbage value to pfn_valid().

As trace event triggers are now part of the mainline kernel, I added my trace event trigger tests to my test suite I run on all my kernels.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "A bunch of regression fixes this time. They fix two regressions in the PNP subsystem, one in the ACPI processor driver and one in the ACPI EC driver, four cpufreq driver regressions and an unrelated bug in one of the drivers. The regressions are recent or introduced in 3.14. Specifics: - There are two bugs in the ACPI PNP core that cause errors to be returned if optional ACPI methods are not present. After an ACPI core change made in 3.14 one of those errors leads to serial port suspend failures on some systems. Fix from Rafael J Wysocki. - A recently added PNP quirk related to Intel chipsets intorduced a build error in unusual configurations (PNP without PCI). Fix from Bjorn Helgaas. - An ACPI EC workaround related to system suspend on Samsung machines added in 3.14 introduced a race causing some valid EC events to be discarded. Fix from Kieran Clancy. - The acpi-cpufreq driver fails to load on some systems after a 3.14 commit related to APIC ID parsing that overlooked one corner case. Fix from Lan Tianyu. - Fix for a recently introduced build problem in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver from Tim Gardner. - A recent cpufreq core change to ensure serialization of frequency transitions for drivers with a ->target_index() callback overlooked the fact that some of those drivers had been doing operations introduced by it into the core already by themselves. That resulted in a mess in which the core and the drivers try to do the same thing and block each other which leads to deadlocks.
