futex: Test for pi_mutex on fault in futex_wait_requeue_pi()

2014-02-10T21:11:36+00:00

commit b6070a8d9853eda010a549fa9a09eb8d7269b929 upstream.

If fixup_pi_state_owner() faults, pi_mutex may be NULL. Test
for pi_mutex != NULL before testing the owner against current
and possibly unlocking it.

futex: Fix bug in WARN_ON for NULL q.pi_state

2014-02-10T21:11:35+00:00

commit f27071cb7fe3e1d37a9dbe6c0dfc5395cd40fa43 upstream.

The WARN_ON in futex_wait_requeue_pi() for a NULL q.pi_state was testing
the address (&q.pi_state) of the pointer instead of the value
(q.pi_state) of the pointer. Correct it accordingly.

futex: Forbid uaddr == uaddr2 in futex_wait_requeue_pi()

2014-02-10T21:11:35+00:00

commit 6f7b0a2a5c0fb03be7c25bd1745baa50582348ef upstream.

If uaddr == uaddr2, then we have broken the rule of only requeueing
from a non-pi futex to a pi futex with this call. If we attempt this,
as the trinity test suite manages to do, we miss early wakeups as
q.key is equal to key2 (because they are the same uaddr). We will then
attempt to dereference the pi_mutex (which would exist had the futex_q
been properly requeued to a pi futex) and trigger a NULL pointer
dereference.

commit 83e03b3fe4daffdebbb42151d5410d730ae50bd1 upstream.

On the failure path, stat->start and stat->pages will refer same page.
So it'll attempt to free the same page again and get kernel panic.

Fix a dead loop in async_synchronize_full()

2014-02-10T21:11:07+00:00

[commit 45516ddc16abc923104d78bb3eb772ac0a09e33e in v3.0.44 - paulg ]

[Fixed upstream by commits 2955b47d2c1983998a8c5915cb96884e67f7cb53 and
a4683487f90bfe3049686fc5c566bdc1ad03ace6 from Dan Williams, but they are much
more intrusive than this tiny fix, according to Andrew - gregkh]

This patch tries to fix a dead loop in  async_synchronize_full(), which
could be seen when preemption is disabled on a single cpu machine.

void async_synchronize_full(void)
{
        do {
                async_synchronize_cookie(next_cookie);
        } while (!list_empty(&async_running) || !
list_empty(&async_pending));
}

async_synchronize_cookie() calls async_synchronize_cookie_domain() with
&async_running as the default domain to synchronize.

However, there might be some works in the async_pending list from other
domains. On a single cpu system, without preemption, there is no chance
for the other works to finish, so async_synchronize_full() enters a dead
loop.

It seems async_synchronize_full() wants to synchronize all entries in
all running lists(domains), so maybe we could just check the entry_count
to know whether all works are finished.

Currently, async_synchronize_cookie_domain() expects a non-NULL running
list ( if NULL, there would be NULL pointer dereference ), so maybe a
NULL pointer could be used as an indication for the functions to
synchronize all works in all domains.

cgroup: remove incorrect dget/dput() pair in cgroup_create_dir()

2014-02-10T21:11:06+00:00

commit 175431635ec09b1d1bba04979b006b99e8305a83 upstream.

cgroup_create_dir() does weird dancing with dentry refcnt.  On
success, it gets and then puts it achieving nothing.  On failure, it
puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following
oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason.

kernel/resource.c: fix stack overflow in __reserve_region_with_split()

2014-02-10T21:11:06+00:00

commit 4965f5667f36a95b41cda6638875bc992bd7d18b upstream.

Using a recursive call add a non-conflicting region in
__reserve_region_with_split() could result in a stack overflow in the case
that the recursive calls are too deep.  Convert the recursive calls to an
iterative loop to avoid the problem.

Tested on a machine containing 135 regions.  The kernel no longer panicked
with stack overflow.

Also tested with code arbitrarily adding regions with no conflict,
embedding two consecutive conflicts and embedding two non-consecutive
conflicts.

kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()

2014-02-10T21:11:06+00:00

commit f96972f2dc6365421cf2366ebd61ee4cf060c8d5 upstream.

As kernel_power_off() calls disable_nonboot_cpus(), we may also want to
have kernel_restart() call disable_nonboot_cpus().  Doing so can help
machines that require boot cpu be the last alive cpu during reboot to
survive with kernel restart.

This fixes one reboot issue seen on imx6q (Cortex-A9 Quad).  The machine
requires that the restart routine be run on the primary cpu rather than
secondary ones.  Otherwise, the secondary core running the restart
routine will fail to come to online after reboot.

kernel/signal.c: stop info leak via the tkill and the tgkill syscalls

2014-02-10T21:11:05+00:00

commit b9e146d8eb3b9ecae5086d373b50fa0c1f3e7f0f upstream.

This fixes a kernel memory contents leak via the tkill and tgkill syscalls
for compat processes.

This is visible in the siginfo_t->_sifields._rt.si_sigval.sival_ptr field
when handling signals delivered from tkill.

The place of the infoleak:

int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, siginfo_t *from)
{
        ...
        put_user_ex(ptr_to_compat(from->si_ptr), &to->si_ptr);
        ...
}
