unbreak automounter support on 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace (v2)

2013-03-03T22:09:06+00:00

commit 4f4ffc3a5398ef9bdbb32db04756d7d34e356fcf upstream.

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).

ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up()

2013-03-03T22:09:05+00:00

Upstream commit 910ffdb18a6408e14febbb6e4b6840fd2c928c82.

Cleanup and preparation for the next change.

signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
necessary mask.

Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
which adds __TASK_TRACED.

This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.

quota: autoload the quota_v2 module for QFMT_VFS_V1 quota format

2013-03-03T22:09:02+00:00

commit c3ad83d9efdfe6a86efd44945a781f00c879b7b4 upstream.

Otherwise, ext4 file systems with the quota featured enable will get a
very confusing "No such process" error message if the quota code is
built as a module and the quota_v2 module has not been loaded.

fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess

2013-02-28T14:32:27+00:00

commit e93a9a868792ad71cdd09d75e5a02d8067473c4e upstream.

I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that
yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for
unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver().  After this hack, lockdep
warnings are finally gone.

fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover

2013-02-28T14:32:27+00:00

commit 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 upstream.

Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller
already holds the locks.  Make the fb layer lock in order.

This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

NLS: improve UTF8 -> UTF16 string conversion routine

2013-02-28T14:32:26+00:00

commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream.

The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved.  Unlike
its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
16-bit output.

This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called.  A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.

The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
way they handle invalid byte combinations.  But that's a subject for a
different patch.

ALSA: usb: Fix Processing Unit Descriptor parsers

2013-02-28T14:32:25+00:00

commit b531f81b0d70ffbe8d70500512483227cc532608 upstream.

Commit 99fc86450c439039d2ef88d06b222fd51a779176 "ALSA: usb-mixer:
parse descriptors with structs" introduced a set of useful parsers
for descriptors. Unfortunately the parses for the Processing Unit
Descriptor came with a very subtle bug...

Functions uac_processing_unit_iProcessing() and
uac_processing_unit_specific() were indexing the baSourceID array
forgetting the fields before the iProcessing and process-specific
descriptors.

The problem was observed with Sound Blaster Extigy mixer,
where nNrModes in Up/Down-mix Processing Unit Descriptor
was accessed at offset 10 of the descriptor (value 0)
instead of offset 15 (value 7). In result the resulting
control had interesting limit values:

Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0
  Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: 0 - -1
  Mono: -1 [100%]

Fixed by starting from the bmControls, which was calculated
correctly, instead of baSourceID.

Now the mentioned control is fine:

Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0
  Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: 0 - 6
  Mono: 0 [0%]

mm: mmu_notifier: have mmu_notifiers use a global SRCU so they may safely schedule

2013-02-28T14:32:24+00:00

commit 21a92735f660eaecf69a6f2e777f18463760ec32 upstream.

With an RCU based mmu_notifier implementation, any callout to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() or
mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() would not be allowed to call schedule()
as that could potentially allow a modification to the mmu_notifier
structure while it is currently being used.

Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up
with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm.  So all mms share a global
srcu.  Note that during large mmu_notifier activity exit & unregister
paths might hang for longer periods, but it is tolerable for current
mmu_notifier clients.

printk: fix buffer overflow when calling log_prefix function from call_console_drivers

2013-02-21T18:02:28+00:00

This patch corrects a buffer overflow in kernels from 3.0 to 3.4 when calling
log_prefix() function from call_console_drivers().

This bug existed in previous releases but has been revealed with commit
162a7e7500f9664636e649ba59defe541b7c2c60 (2.6.39 => 3.0) that made changes
about how to allocate memory for early printk buffer (use of memblock_alloc).
It disappears with commit 7ff9554bb578ba02166071d2d487b7fc7d860d62 (3.4 => 3.5)
that does a refactoring of printk buffer management.

In log_prefix(), the access to "p[0]", "p[1]", "p[2]" or
"simple_strtoul(&p[1], &endp, 10)" may cause a buffer overflow as this
function is called from call_console_drivers by passing "&LOG_BUF(cur_index)"
where the index must be masked to do not exceed the buffer's boundary.

The trick is to prepare in call_console_drivers() a buffer with the necessary
data (PRI field of syslog message) to be safely evaluated in log_prefix().

This patch can be applied to stable kernel branches 3.0.y, 3.2.y and 3.4.y.

Without this patch, one can freeze a server running this loop from shell :
  $ export DUMMY=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '12345AZERTYUIOPQSDFGHJKLMWXCVBNazertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn' | head -c255`
  $ while true do ; echo $DUMMY > /dev/kmsg ; done

The "server freeze" depends on where memblock_alloc does allocate printk buffer :
if the buffer overflow is inside another kernel allocation the problem may not
be revealed, else the server may hangs up.
