2014-10-31kvm: fix potentially corrupt mmio cacheDavid Matlack
commit ee3d1570b58677885b4552bce8217fda7b226a68 upstream. vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit. If we increment the memslot generation number again after synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit. And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference of the current memslots during each exit. We can prevent the following case: vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1) --------------------------------------------+-------------------------- 1 vm exit | 2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | 3 decide to cache something based on | old memslots | 4 | change memslots | (increments generation) 5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu); 6 retrieve generation # from new memslots | 7 tag cache with new memslot generation | 8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | ... | <action based on cache occurs even | though the caching decision was based | on the old memslots> | ... | <action *continues* to occur until next | memslot generation change, which may | be never> | | By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers, we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon after (8). Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately, instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited, which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted right after synchronize_srcu() returns. To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

2014-08-19x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stackH. Peter Anvin
commit 3891a04aafd668686239349ea58f3314ea2af86b upstream. The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. This causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state to user space. We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in 64-bit mode. In checkin: b3b42ac2cbae x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work. This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart. When we detect that the return SS is on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the relevant alias to return to userspace. The ministacks are mapped readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF handler. (Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.) Special thanks to: - Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF. - Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing. - Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

If a value in the range [1, 7] is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL. This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

2014-07-02mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle ↵Naoya Horiguchi
SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO) commit 3ba08129e38437561df44c36b7ea9081185d5333 upstream. Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the deferred manner by default. And if a recovery aware application wants to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag. However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to handler such signals. So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler. We have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main thread. If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl() to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread. Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines. No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases. Tony said: : The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might : well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then : that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if : that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

This occurs because of the following sequence in the boot: Main kernel boots and sets E820 map. The second kernel is booted with a map generated by the kdump service using memmap= and memmap=exactmap. These parameters are added to the kernel parameters of the kexec/kdump kernel. The kexec/kdump kernel has limited memory resources so as not to severely impact the main kernel. The system then panics and the kdump/kexec kernel boots (which is a completely new kernel boot). During this boot ACPI is initialized and the kernel (as can be seen above) traverses the ACPI namespace and finds an entry for a memory device to be hotadded. ie) [<ffffffff815a1e9f>] __add_pages+0xaf/0x240 [<ffffffff81047359>] arch_add_memory+0x59/0xd0 [<ffffffff815a21d9>] add_memory+0xb9/0x1b0 [<ffffffff81333b9c>] acpi_memory_device_add+0x18d/0x26d [<ffffffff81309a01>] acpi_bus_device_attach+0x7d/0xcd [<ffffffff8132379d>] acpi_ns_walk_namespace+0xc8/0x17f [<ffffffff81309984>] ? acpi_bus_type_and_status+0x90/0x90 [<ffffffff81309984>] ? acpi_bus_type_and_status+0x90/0x90 [<ffffffff81323c8c>] acpi_walk_namespace+0x95/0xc5 [<ffffffff8130a6d6>] acpi_bus_scan+0x8b/0x9d [<ffffffff81a2019a>] acpi_scan_init+0x63/0x160 [<ffffffff81a1ffb5>] acpi_init+0x25d/0x2a6 At this point the kernel adds page table information and the the kexec/kdump kernel runs out of memory. This can also be reproduced by using the memmap=exactmap and mem=X parameters on the main kernel and booting. This patchset resolves the problem by adding a kernel parameter, acpi_no_memhotplug, to disable ACPI memory hotplug.

2014-06-20ima: audit log files opened with O_DIRECT flagMimi Zohar
commit f9b2a735bdddf836214b5dca74f6ca7712e5a08c upstream. Files are measured or appraised based on the IMA policy. When a file, in policy, is opened with the O_DIRECT flag, a deadlock occurs. The first attempt at resolving this lockdep temporarily removed the O_DIRECT flag and restored it, after calculating the hash. The second attempt introduced the O_DIRECT_HAVELOCK flag. Based on this flag, do_blockdev_direct_IO() would skip taking the i_mutex a second time. The third attempt, by Dmitry Kasatkin, resolves the i_mutex locking issue, by re-introducing the IMA mutex, but uncovered another problem. Reading a file with O_DIRECT flag set, writes directly to userspace pages. A second patch allocates a user-space like memory. This works for all IMA hooks, except ima_file_free(), which is called on __fput() to recalculate the file hash. Until this last issue is addressed, do not 'collect' the measurement for measuring, appraising, or auditing files opened with the O_DIRECT flag set. Based on policy, permit or deny file access. This patch defines a new IMA policy rule option named 'permit_directio'. Policy rules could be defined, based on LSM or other criteria, to permit specific applications to open files with the O_DIRECT flag set.

commit 36189cc3cd57ab0f1cd75241f93fe01de928ac06 upstream. The hw_version 3 Elantech touchpad on the Gigabyte U2442 does not accept 0x0b as initialization value for r10, this stand-alone version of the driver: http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 Uses 0x03 which does work, so this means not setting bit 3 of r10 which sets: "Enable Real H/W Resolution In Absolute mode" Which will result in half the x and y resolution we get with that bit set, so simply not setting it everywhere is not a solution. We've been unable to find a way to identify touchpads where setting the bit will fail, so this patch uses a dmi based blacklist for this. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61151 Reported-by: Philipp Wolfer <ph.wolfer@gmail.com> Tested-by: Philipp Wolfer <ph.wolfer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>

With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G fork bomb member. The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task individually_ during OOM selection. Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage bonus. By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size, they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing agetty because it's first in the task list.

2014-01-15packet: fix send path when running with proto == 0Daniel Borkmann
[ Upstream commit 66e56cd46b93ef407c60adcac62cf33b06119d50 ] Commit e40526cb20b5 introduced a cached dev pointer, that gets hooked into register_prot_hook(), __unregister_prot_hook() to update the device used for the send path. We need to fix this up, as otherwise this will not work with sockets created with protocol = 0, plus with sll_protocol = 0 passed via sockaddr_ll when doing the bind. So instead, assign the pointer directly. The compiler can inline these helper functions automagically. While at it, also assume the cached dev fast-path as likely(), and document this variant of socket creation as it seems it is not widely used (seems not even the author of TX_RING was aware of that in his reference example [1]). Tested with reproducer from e40526cb20b5.

2013-12-08tcp: tsq: restore minimal amount of queueingEric Dumazet
[ Upstream commit 98e09386c0ef4dfd48af7ba60ff908f0d525cdee ] After commit c9eeec26e32e ("tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit"), several users reported throughput regressions, notably on mvneta and wifi adapters. 802.11 AMPDU requires a fair amount of queueing to be effective. This patch partially reverts the change done in tcp_write_xmit() so that the minimal amount is sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes. It also remove the use of this sysctl while building skb stored in write queue, as TSO autosizing does the right thing anyway. Users with well behaving NICS and correct qdisc (like sch_fq), can then lower the default sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes value from 128KB to 8KB. This new usage of sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes permits each driver authors to check how their driver performs when/if the value is set to a minimum of 4KB. Normally, line rate for a single TCP flow should be possible, but some drivers rely on timers to perform TX completion and too long TX completion delays prevent reaching full throughput.

2013-12-04vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pKRyan Mallon
commit 312b4e226951f707e120b95b118cbc14f3d162b2 upstream. Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time, but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be leaked. This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04: $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms 00000000 T startup_32 $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000' This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other setuid binaries may leak more information. Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids. If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged. Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default. This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

2013-09-30powerpc/83xx: gianfar_ptp: select 1588 clock source through dts fileAida Mynzhasova
Currently IEEE 1588 timer reference clock source is determined through hard-coded value in gianfar_ptp driver. This patch allows to select ptp clock source by means of device tree file node. For instance: fsl,cksel = <0>; for using external (TSEC_TMR_CLK input) high precision timer reference clock. Other acceptable values: <1> : eTSEC system clock <2> : eTSEC1 transmit clock <3> : RTC clock input When this attribute isn't used, eTSEC system clock will serve as IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.

2013-09-30block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsingPaul Gortmaker
Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot arg processing, when it really is block specific. Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_ prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it is block specific. In addition, fix up the following less critical items: - help text was not really at all helpful. - index file for Documentation was not updated - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt - clarify wording in source comments Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Cai Zhiyong <caizhiyong@huawei.com> Cc: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
