ipmi: ipmi_devintf: compat_ioctl method fails to take ipmi_mutex

2013-05-19T17:04:49+00:00

commit 6368087e851e697679af059b4247aca33a69cef3 upstream.

When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the
ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex.  This results in
incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures.
Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.

drivers/char/ipmi: memcpy, need additional 2 bytes to avoid memory overflow

2013-05-19T17:04:49+00:00

commit a5f2b3d6a738e7d4180012fe7b541172f8c8dcea upstream.

When calling memcpy, read_data and write_data need additional 2 bytes.

  write_data:
    for checking:  "if (size > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH)"
    for operating: "memcpy(bt->write_data + 3, data + 1, size - 1)"

  read_data:
    for checking:  "if (msg_len < 3 || msg_len > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH)"
    for operating: "memcpy(data + 2, bt->read_data + 4, msg_len - 2)"

vm: convert HPET mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

2013-04-26T04:23:49+00:00

commit 2323036dfec8ce3ce6e1c86a49a31b039f3300d1 upstream.

This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users.  The HPET
case is simple, widely available, and easy to test (Clemens Ladisch sent
a trivial test-program for it).

virtio: rng: disallow multiple device registrations, fixes crashes

2013-03-20T19:58:50+00:00

commit e84e7a56a3aa2963db506299e29a5f3f09377f9b upstream.

The code currently only supports one virtio-rng device at a time.
Invoking guests with multiple devices causes the guest to blow up.

Check if we've already registered and initialised the driver.  Also
cleanup in case of registration errors or hot-unplug so that a new
device can be used.

hw_random: make buffer usable in scatterlist.

2013-03-14T18:32:04+00:00

commit f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878 upstream.

virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly
into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8.

However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address
(at least on most archs).  We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually
far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate
a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).

virtio_console: Don't access uninitialized data.

2013-02-14T18:47:33+00:00

commit aded024a12b32fc1ed9a80639681daae2d07ec25 upstream.

Don't access uninitialized work-queue when removing device.
The work queue is initialized only if the device multi-queue.
So don't call cancel_work unless this is a multi-queue device.

This fixes the following panic:

tpm: Propagate error from tpm_transmit to fix a timeout hang

2012-10-21T16:17:12+00:00

commit abce9ac292e13da367bbd22c1f7669f988d931ac upstream.

tpm_write calls tpm_transmit without checking the return value and
assigns the return value unconditionally to chip->pending_data, even if
it's an error value.
This causes three bugs.

So if we write to /dev/tpm0 with a tpm_param_size bigger than
TPM_BUFSIZE=0x1000 (e.g. 0x100a)
and a bufsize also bigger than TPM_BUFSIZE (e.g. 0x100a)
tpm_transmit returns -E2BIG which is assigned to chip->pending_data as
-7, but tpm_write returns that TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been successfully
been written to the TPM, altough this is not true (bug #1).

As we did write more than than TPM_BUFSIZE bytes but tpm_write reports
that only TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been written the vfs tries to write
the remaining bytes (in this case 10 bytes) to the tpm device driver via
tpm_write which then blocks at

 /* cannot perform a write until the read has cleared
 either via tpm_read or a user_read_timer timeout */
 while (atomic_read(&chip->data_pending) != 0)
	 msleep(TPM_TIMEOUT);

for 60 seconds, since data_pending is -7 and nobody is able to
read it (since tpm_read luckily checks if data_pending is greater than
0) (#bug 2).

After that the remaining bytes are written to the TPM which are
interpreted by the tpm as a normal command. (bug #3)
So if the last bytes of the command stream happen to be a e.g.
tpm_force_clear this gets accidentally sent to the TPM.

This patch fixes all three bugs, by propagating the error code of
tpm_write and returning -E2BIG if the input buffer is too big,
since the response from the tpm for a truncated value is bogus anyway.
Moreover it returns -EBUSY to userspace if there is a response ready to be
read.

TTY: ttyprintk, don't touch behind tty->write_buf

commit ee8b593affdf893012e57f4c54a21984d1b0d92e upstream.

If a user provides a buffer larger than a tty->write_buf chunk and
passes '\r' at the end of the buffer, we touch an out-of-bound memory.

Add a check there to prevent this.

random: mix in architectural randomness in extract_buf()

2012-08-15T19:04:29+00:00

commit d2e7c96af1e54b507ae2a6a7dd2baf588417a7e5 upstream.

Mix in any architectural randomness in extract_buf() instead of
xfer_secondary_buf().  This allows us to mix in more architectural
randomness, and it also makes xfer_secondary_buf() faster, moving a
tiny bit of additional CPU overhead to process which is extracting the
randomness.

random: Add comment to random_initialize()

2012-08-15T19:04:29+00:00

commit cbc96b7594b5691d61eba2db8b2ea723645be9ca upstream.

Many platforms have per-machine instance data (serial numbers,
asset tags, etc.) squirreled away in areas that are accessed
during early system bringup. Mixing this data into the random
pools has a very high value in providing better random data,
so we should allow (and even encourage) architecture code to
call add_device_randomness() from the setup_arch() paths.

However, this limits our options for internal structure of
the random driver since random_initialize() is not called
until long after setup_arch().

Add a big fat comment to rand_initialize() spelling out
this requirement.
