2010-10-28execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large argumentsRoland McGrath
commit 9aea5a65aa7a1af9a4236dfaeb0088f1624f9919 upstream. An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL. Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

2010-10-28execve: improve interactivity with large argumentsRoland McGrath
commit 7993bc1f4663c0db67bb8f0d98e6678145b387cd upstream. This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new points in the abstract sense. When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice. So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

2010-10-28setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument sizeRoland McGrath
commit 1b528181b2ffa14721fb28ad1bd539fe1732c583 upstream. The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack. When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON. This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to create a crash pretty easily. Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a kernel problem.

2010-10-28powerpc: Don't use kernel stack with translation offMichael Neuling
commit 54a834043314c257210db2a9d59f8cc605571639 upstream. In f761622e59433130bc33ad086ce219feee9eb961 we changed early_setup_secondary so it's called using the proper kernel stack rather than the emergency one. Unfortunately, this stack pointer can't be used when translation is off on PHYP as this stack pointer might be outside the RMO. This results in the following on all non zero cpus: cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000001639fd10] pc: 000000000001c50c lr: 000000000000821c sp: c00000001639ff90 msr: 8000000000001000 dar: c00000001639ffa0 dsisr: 42000000 current = 0xc000000016393540 paca = 0xc000000006e00200 pid = 0, comm = swapper The original patch was only tested on bare metal system, so it never caught this problem. This changes __secondary_start so that we calculate the new stack pointer but only start using it after we've called early_setup_secondary. With this patch, the above problem goes away.

2010-10-28powerpc: Initialise paca->kstack before early_setup_secondaryMatt Evans
commit f761622e59433130bc33ad086ce219feee9eb961 upstream. As early setup calls down to slb_initialize(), we must have kstack initialised before checking "should we add a bolted SLB entry for our kstack?" Failing to do so means stack access requires an SLB miss exception to refill an entry dynamically, if the stack isn't accessible via SLB(0) (kernel text & static data). It's not always allowable to take such a miss, and intermittent crashes will result. Primary CPUs don't have this issue; an SLB entry is not bolted for their stack anyway (as that lives within SLB(0)). This patch therefore only affects the init of secondaries.

commit 3bcf8229a8c49769e48d3e0bd1e20d8e003f8106 upstream. As reported in <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15355>, r6040_ multicast_list currently crashes. This is due a wrong maximum of multicast entries. This patch fixes the following issues with multicast: - number of maximum entries if off-by-one (4 instead of 3) - the writing of the hash table index is not necessary and leads to invalid values being written into the MCR1 register, so the MAC is simply put in a non coherent state - when we exceed the maximum number of mutlticast address, writing the broadcast address should be done in registers MID_1{L,M,H} instead of MID_O{L,M,H}, otherwise we would loose the adapter's MAC address [bwh: Adjust for 2.6.32; should also apply to 2.6.27] Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <florian@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 3e645d6b485446c54c6745c5e2cf5c528fe4deec upstream. The compat code for the VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl is totally buggered. It's only used by the VIDEO_STRADIS driver, and that one is scheduled to staging and eventually removed unless somebody steps up to maintain it (at which point it should use request_firmware() rather than some magic ioctl). So we'll get rid of it eventually. But in the meantime, the compatibility ioctl code is broken, and this tries to get it to at least limp along (even if Mauro suggested just deleting it entirely, which may be the right thing to do - I don't think the compatibility translation code has ever worked unless you were very lucky).

2010-10-28ALSA: prevent heap corruption in snd_ctl_new()Dan Rosenberg
commit 5591bf07225523600450edd9e6ad258bb877b779 upstream. The snd_ctl_new() function in sound/core/control.c allocates space for a snd_kcontrol struct by performing arithmetic operations on a user-provided size without checking for integer overflow. If a user provides a large enough size, an overflow will occur, the allocated chunk will be too small, and a second user-influenced value will be written repeatedly past the bounds of this chunk. This code is reachable by unprivileged users who have permission to open a /dev/snd/controlC* device (on many distros, this is group "audio") via the SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD and SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE ioctls.

2010-09-20compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()H. Peter Anvin
commit c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6 upstream. compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

commit 36d001c70d8a0144ac1d038f6876c484849a74de upstream. On 64 bits, we always, by necessity, jump through the system call table via %rax. For 32-bit system calls, in theory the system call number is stored in %eax, and the code was testing %eax for a valid system call number. At one point we loaded the stored value back from the stack to enforce zero-extension, but that was removed in checkin d4d67150165df8bf1cc05e532f6efca96f907cab. An actual 32-bit process will not be able to introduce a non-zero-extended number, but it can happen via ptrace. Instead of re-introducing the zero-extension, test what we are actually going to use, i.e. %rax. This only adds a handful of REX prefixes to the code.

2010-09-20tracing: Do not allow llseek to set_ftrace_filterSteven Rostedt
commit 9c55cb12c1c172e2d51e85fbb5a4796ca86b77e7 upstream. Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things. 1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer 2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer 3) shows what triggers are set on any functions 3 is independent from 1 and 2. The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine, and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops. Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter). A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the next major release.

2010-08-26USB: add device IDs for igotu to navmanRoss Burton
commit 0eee6a2b2a52e17066a572d30ad2805d3ebc7508 upstream. I recently bought a i-gotU USB GPS, and whilst hunting around for linux support discovered this post by you back in 2009: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-usb/2009/3/12/5148644 >Try the navman driver instead. You can either add the device id to the > driver and rebuild it, or do this before you plug the device in: > modprobe navman > echo -n "0x0df7 0x0900" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/navman/new_id > > and then plug your device in and see if that works. I can confirm that the navman driver works with the right device IDs on my i-gotU GT-600, which has the same device IDs. Attached is a patch adding the IDs.

commit b9f0aee83335db1f3915f4e42a5e21b351740afd upstream. non-critical issue, CVE-2010-2803 Userspace controls the amount of memory to be allocate, so it can get the ioctl to allocate more memory than the kernel uses, and get access to kernel stack. This can only be done for processes authenticated to the X server for DRI access, and if the user has DRI access. Fix is to just memset the data to 0 if the user doesn't copy into it in the first place.

commit 5b75c4973ce779520b9d1e392483207d6f842cde upstream. This patch adds a limit for nframes as the number of frames in TX_SETUP and RX_SETUP are derived from a single byte multiplex value by default. Use-cases that would require to send/filter more than 256 CAN frames should be implemented in userspace for complexity reasons anyway. Additionally the assignments of unsigned values from userspace to signed values in kernelspace and vice versa are fixed by using unsigned values in kernelspace consistently.

commit ea6b184f7d521a503ecab71feca6e4057562252b upstream. As we are not concerned with fine-grained control over reading of symlinks in proc, always use the default proc SID for all proc symlinks. This should help avoid permission issues upon changes to the proc tree as in the /proc/net -> /proc/self/net example. This does not alter labeling of symlinks within /proc/pid directories. ls -Zd /proc/net output before and after the patch should show the difference. Signed-off-by: Stephen D.

2010-08-20mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard pageLinus Torvalds
commit d7824370e26325c881b665350ce64fb0a4fde24a upstream. This commit makes the stack guard page somewhat less visible to user space. It does this by: - not showing the guard page in /proc/<pid>/maps It looks like lvm-tools will actually read /proc/self/maps to figure out where all its mappings are, and effectively do a specialized "mlockall()" in user space. By not showing the guard page as part of the mapping (by just adding PAGE_SIZE to the start for grows-up pages), lvm-tools ends up not being aware of it. - by also teaching the _real_ mlock() functionality not to try to lock the guard page. That would just expand the mapping down to create a new guard page, so there really is no point in trying to lock it in place. It would perhaps be nice to show the guard page specially in /proc/<pid>/maps (or at least mark grow-down segments some way), but let's not open ourselves up to more breakage by user space from programs that depends on the exact deails of the 'maps' file. Special thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh for diving into lvm-tools source code to see what was going on with the whole new warning.

2010-08-20mm: fix page table unmap for stack guard page properlyLinus Torvalds
commit 11ac552477e32835cb6970bf0a70c210807f5673 upstream. We do in fact need to unmap the page table _before_ doing the whole stack guard page logic, because if it is needed (mainly 32-bit x86 with PAE and CONFIG_HIGHPTE, but other architectures may use it too) then it will do a kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic. And those kmaps will create an atomic region that we cannot do allocations in. However, the whole stack expand code will need to do anon_vma_prepare() and vma_lock_anon_vma() and they cannot do that in an atomic region. Now, a better model might actually be to do the anon_vma_prepare() when _creating_ a VM_GROWSDOWN segment, and not have to worry about any of this at page fault time. But in the meantime, this is the straightforward fix for the issue. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16588 for details.

2010-08-20mm: pass correct mm when growing stackHugh Dickins
commit 05fa199d45c54a9bda7aa3ae6537253d6f097aa9 upstream. Tetsuo Handa reports seeing the WARN_ON(current->mm == NULL) in security_vm_enough_memory(), when do_execve() is touching the target mm's stack, to set up its args and environment. Yes, a UMH_NO_WAIT or UMH_WAIT_PROC call_usermodehelper() spawns an mm-less kernel thread to do the exec. And in any case, that vm_enough_memory check when growing stack ought to be done on the target mm, not on the execer's mm (though apart from the warning, it only makes a slight tweak to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER behaviour).

2010-08-20x86: don't send SIGBUS for kernel page faultsGreg Kroah-Hartman
Based on commit 96054569190bdec375fe824e48ca1f4e3b53dd36 upstream, authored by Linus Torvalds. This is my backport to the .27 kernel tree, hopefully preserving the same functionality. Original commit message: It's wrong for several reasons, but the most direct one is that the fault may be for the stack accesses to set up a previous SIGBUS. When we have a kernel exception, the kernel exception handler does all the fixups, not some user-level signal handler. Even apart from the nested SIGBUS issue, it's also wrong to give out kernel fault addresses in the signal handler info block, or to send a SIGBUS when a system call already returns EFAULT.

2010-08-20mm: keep a guard page below a grow-down stack segmentLinus Torvalds
commit 320b2b8de12698082609ebbc1a17165727f4c893 upstream. This is a rather minimally invasive patch to solve the problem of the user stack growing into a memory mapped area below it. Whenever we fill the first page of the stack segment, expand the segment down by one page. Now, admittedly some odd application might _want_ the stack to grow down into the preceding memory mapping, and so we may at some point need to make this a process tunable (some people might also want to have more than a single page of guarding), but let's try the minimal approach first. Tested with trivial application that maps a single page just below the stack, and then starts recursing. Without this, we will get a SIGSEGV _after_ the stack has smashed the mapping. With this patch, we'll get a nice SIGBUS just as the stack touches the page just above the mapping.

commit f1d0b063d993527754f062c589b73f125024d216 upstream. Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the last registered device of the devices sharing one queue. On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created. This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

2010-08-13xen: drop xen_sched_clock in favour of using plain wallclock timeJeremy Fitzhardinge
commit 8a22b9996b001c88f2bfb54c6de6a05fc39e177a upstream. xen_sched_clock only counts unstolen time. In principle this should be useful to the Linux scheduler so that it knows how much time a process actually consumed. But in practice this doesn't work very well as the scheduler expects the sched_clock time to be synchronized between cpus. It also uses sched_clock to measure the time a task spends sleeping, in which case "unstolen time" isn't meaningful. So just use plain xen_clocksource_read to return wallclock nanoseconds for sched_clock.
