commit d98a0526434d27e261f622cf9d2e0028b5ff1a00 upstream.
Add a complete description of the LZO format as processed by the
decompressor. I have not found a public specification of this format
hence this analysis, which will be used to better understand the code.

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.

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.

commit 778c14affaf94a9e4953179d3e13a544ccce7707 upstream.
A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.
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.

commit b8bd6dc36186fe99afa7b73e9e2d9a98ad5c4865 upstream.
A user on StackExchange had a failing SSD that's soldered directly
onto the motherboard of his system. The BIOS does not give any option
to disable it at all, so he can't just hide it from the OS via the
BIOS.
The old IDE layer had hdX=noprobe override for situations like this,
but that was never ported to the libata layer.
This patch implements a disable flag for libata.force.

libata.force=2.0:disable

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.

commit 7bd90909bbf9ce7c40e1da3d72b97b93839c188a upstream.
Following the documentation of the Legacy Backlight Brightness (LBB)
Register in the configuration space of some Intel PCI graphics adapters,
setting the LBB register with the value 0x0 causes the backlight to be
turned off, and 0xFF causes the backlight to be set to 100% intensity
(http://download.intel.com/embedded/processors/Whitepaper/324567.pdf).
The Acer Aspire 5734Z, however, turns the backlight off at 0xFF and sets
it to maximum intensity at 0. In consequence, the screen of this systems
becomes dark at an early boot stage which makes it unusable. The same
inversion applies to the BLC_PWM_CTL I915 register. This problem was
introduced in kernel version 2.6.38 when the PCI device of this system
was first supported by the i915 KMS module.
This patch adds a parameter to the i915 module to enable inversion of
the brightness variable (i915.invert_brightness).

Implement the RFC 5691 mitigation against Blind

Idea is to validate incoming RST sequence,
to match RCV.NXT value, instead of previouly accepted
window : (RCV.NXT <= SEG.SEQ < RCV.NXT+RCV.WND)
If sequence is in window but not an exact match, send
a "challenge ACK", so that the other part can resend an
RST with the appropriate sequence.
Add a new sysctl, tcp_challenge_ack_limit, to limit
number of challenge ACK sent per second.
Add a new SNMP counter to count number of challenge acks sent.

commit 9a5a8f19b43430752067ecaee62fc59e11e88fa6 upstream.
oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are
available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value
is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and
total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it).
This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out
with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means
that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn
confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than
the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is
negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small
if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).
A wrong process might be selected as result.
The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0
and not considering swap at all in such a case.

commit f6365201d8a21fb347260f89d6e9b3e718d63c70 upstream.
The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the
32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the
HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially
it turned off the use of HLT.
This workaround was commented in the code as:
"disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"
"This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA
wreckage. It should be safe to remove."
H. Peter Anvin additionally adds:
"To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of
flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to
run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind,
including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed
to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT
caused some of these systems to fail.
They were by far in the minority even back then."
Alan Cox further says:
"Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT
occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during
DMA tended to go astray.
Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520
fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of
use."
So, let's finally drop this.

commit 108cc108a3bb42fe4705df1317ff98e1e29428a6 upstream.
Also add a model/fixup string "lenovo-dock", so that other Thinkpad
users will be able to test this fixup easily, to see if it enables
dock I/O for them as well.

commit eb3979f64d25120d60b9e761a4c58f70b1a02f86 upstream.
Distribution kernel maintainers routinely backport fixes for users that
were deemed important but not "something critical" as defined by the
rules. To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix
them reduces the value of -stable.
The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and
prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention.
To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier
to entry.
This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge
to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious"
user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on
the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available.
The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

[ Upstream commit b49960a05e32121d29316cfdf653894b88ac9190 ]
tcp_adv_win_scale default value is 2, meaning we expect a good citizen
skb to have skb->len / skb->truesize ratio of 75% (3/4)
In 2.6 kernels we (mis)accounted for typical MSS=1460 frame :
1536 + 64 + 256 = 1856 'estimated truesize', and 1856 * 3/4 = 1392.
So these skbs were considered as not bloated.
With recent truesize fixes, a typical MSS=1460 frame truesize is now the
more precise :
2048 + 256 = 2304. But 2304 * 3/4 = 1728.
So these skb are not good citizen anymore, because 1460 < 1728
(GRO can escape this problem because it build skbs with a too low
truesize.)
This also means tcp advertises a too optimistic window for a given
allocated rcvspace : When receiving frames, sk_rmem_alloc can hit
sk_rcvbuf limit and we call tcp_prune_queue()/tcp_collapse() too often,
especially when application is slow to drain its receive queue or in
case of losses (netperf is fast, scp is slow). This is a major latency
source.
We should adjust the len/truesize ratio to 50% instead of 75%
This patch :
1) changes tcp_adv_win_scale default to 1 instead of 2
2) increase tcp_rmem[2] limit from 4MB to 6MB to take into account
better truesize tracking and to allow autotuning tcp receive window to
reach same value than before. Note that same amount of kernel memory is
consumed compared to 2.6 kernels.

Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set
unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants.
This is broken in several ways:
- if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC
deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break
- live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline
timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet;
breaking it
- guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail.
Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace.
Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee
will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

Only allow KVM device assignment to attach to devices which:
- Are not bridges
- Have BAR resources (assume others are special devices)
- The user has permissions to use
Assigning a bridge is a configuration error, it's not supported, and
typically doesn't result in the behavior the user is expecting anyway.
Devices without BAR resources are typically chipset components that
also don't have host drivers. We don't want users to hold such devices
captive or cause system problems by fencing them off into an iommu
domain. We determine "permission to use" by testing whether the user
has access to the PCI sysfs resource files. By default a normal user
will not have access to these files, so it provides a good indication
that an administration agent has granted the user access to the device.

This doesn't interact with resizing well, since it doesn't set the
size of the device to the size at the snapshot. It's also an expensive
operation to be synchronous. Rollback can still be done with the

Since commit c5ed63d66f24(tcp: fix three tcp sysctls tuning),
sysctl_max_syn_backlog is determined by tcp_hashinfo->ehash_mask,
and the minimal value is 128, and it will increase in proportion to the
memory of machine.
The original description for tcp_max_syn_backlog and sysctl_max_syn_backlog
are out of date.
