Fix deadlocking during concurrent receive and transmit operations on SMP
platforms caused by the use of incorrect lock: on transmit 'tx_lock'
spinlock should be used instead of 'lock' which is used for receive
operation.
This fix is applicable to kernel versions starting from v2.15.

This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
- The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
- Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
default using a distro patch.)
Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.
To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

Inside multipath_make_request(), multipath maps the incoming
bio into low level device's bio, but it is totally wrong to
copy the bio into mapped bio via '*mapped_bio = *bio'. For
example, .__bi_remaining is kept in the copy, especially if
the incoming bio is chained to via bio splitting, so .bi_end_io
can't be called for the mapped bio at all in the completing path
in this kind of situation.

On umount path, jbd2_journal_destroy() writes latest transaction ID
(->j_tail_sequence) to be used at next mount.
The bug is that ->j_tail_sequence is not holding latest transaction ID
in some cases. So, at next mount, there is chance to conflict with
remaining (not overwritten yet) transactions.
mount (id=10)
write transaction (id=11)
write transaction (id=12)
umount (id=10) <= the bug doesn't write latest ID
mount (id=10)
write transaction (id=11)
crash
mount
[recovery process]
transaction (id=11)
transaction (id=12) <= valid transaction ID, but old commit
must not replay
Like above, this bug become the cause of recovery failure, or FS
corruption.
So why ->j_tail_sequence doesn't point latest ID?
Because if checkpoint transactions was reclaimed by memory pressure
(i.e. bdev_try_to_free_page()), then ->j_tail_sequence is not updated.
(And another case is, __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() is called
with empty transaction.)
So in above cases, ->j_tail_sequence is not pointing latest
transaction ID at umount path. Plus, REQ_FLUSH for checkpoint is not
done too.
So, to fix this problem with minimum changes, this patch updates
->j_tail_sequence, and issue REQ_FLUSH. (With more complex changes,
some optimizations would be possible to avoid unnecessary REQ_FLUSH
for example though.)
Cirrus HD-audio driver may adjust GPIO pins for EAPD dynamically
depending on the jack plug state. This works fine for the auto-mute
mode where the speaker gets muted upon the HP jack plug. OTOH, when
the auto-mute mode is off, this turns off the EAPD unexpectedly
depending on the jack state, which results in the silent speaker
output.
This patch fixes the silent speaker output issue by setting GPIO bits
constantly when the auto-mute mode is off.
On my bttv card "Hauppauge WinTV [card=10]" capturing in YV12 fmt at max

We've likely never hit this problem before since normally xawtv / tvtime,
etc. will prefer packed pixel formats. But when using a video card which
is using xf86-video-modesetting + glamor, only planar XVideo fmts are
available, and xawtv will chose a matching capture format to avoid needing

create_fixed_stream_quirk(), snd_usb_parse_audio_interface() and
create_uaxx_quirk() functions allocate the audioformat object by themselves
and free it upon error before returning. However, once the object is linked
to a stream, it's freed again in snd_usb_audio_pcm_free(), thus it'll be
double-freed, eventually resulting in a memory corruption.
This patch fixes these failures in the error paths by unlinking the audioformat
object before freeing it.
Based on a patch by Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
[Note for stable backports:
this patch requires the commit 902eb7fd1e4a ('ALSA: usb-audio: Minor
code cleanup in create_fixed_stream_quirk()')]
Add some sanity check codes before actually accessing the endpoint via
get_endpoint() in order to avoid the invalid access through a
malformed USB descriptor. Mostly just checking bNumEndpoints, but in
one place (snd_microii_spdif_default_get()), the validity of iface and
altsetting index is checked as well.
create_fixed_stream_quirk() may cause a NULL-pointer dereference by
accessing the non-existing endpoint when a USB device with a malformed
USB descriptor is used.
This patch avoids it simply by adding a sanity check of bNumEndpoints
before the accesses.
The powermate driver expects at least one valid USB endpoint in its
probe function. If given malicious descriptors that specify 0 for
the number of endpoints, it will crash. Validate the number of
endpoints on the interface before using them.

out of the box instead of needing manual configuration.

Some devices I got show an inability to operate right after

One of the strange things that the original sg driver did was let the
user provide both a data-out buffer (it followed the sg_header+cdb)
_and_ specify a reply length greater than zero. What happened was that
the user data-out buffer was copied into some kernel buffers and then
the mid level was told a read type operation would take place with the
data from the device overwriting the same kernel buffers. The user would
then read those kernel buffers back into the user space.
From what I can tell, the above action was broken by commit fad7f01e61bf
("sg: set dxferp to NULL for READ with the older SG interface") in 2008
and syzkaller found that out recently.
Make sure that a user space pointer is passed through when data follows
the sg_header structure and command. Fix the abnormal case when a
non-zero reply_len is also given.

The PCI config header (first 64 bytes of each device's config space) is
defined by the PCI spec so generic software can identify the device and
manage its usage of I/O, memory, and IRQ resources.
Some non-spec-compliant devices put registers other than BARs where the
BARs should be. When the PCI core sizes these "BARs", the reads and writes
it does may have unwanted side effects, and the "BAR" may appear to
describe non-sensical address space.
Add a flag bit to mark non-compliant devices so we don't touch their BARs.
Turn off IO/MEM decoding to prevent the devices from consuming address
space, since we can't read the BARs to find out what that address space
would be.
dct_sel_base_off is declared as a u64 but we're only using the lower 32

However, it also helps fixing a preexisting problem, which is why this
patch is also good for stable kernels: kvm_create_vm was incrementing
current->mm->mm_count but not decrementing it at the out_err label (in
case kvm_init_mmu_notifier failed). The new initialization order makes
it possible to add the required mmdrop without adding a new error label.
Discard policy uses ack_notifiers to prevent injection of PIT interrupts
before EOI from the last one.
This patch changes the policy to always try to deliver the interrupt,
which makes a difference when its vector is in ISR.
Old implementation would drop the interrupt, but proposed one injects to
IRR, like real hardware would.
The old policy breaks legacy NMI watchdogs, where PIT is used through
virtual wire (LVT0): PIT never sends an interrupt before receiving EOI,
thus a guest deadlock with disabled interrupts will stop NMIs.
Note that NMI doesn't do EOI, so PIT also had to send a normal interrupt
through IOAPIC. (KVM's PIT is deeply rotten and luckily not used much
in modern systems.)
Even though there is a chance of regressions, I think we can fix the
LVT0 NMI bug without introducing a new tick policy.

For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables.
There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the
module's init section. There's also a cut-down version that only
contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core
section.
After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch
the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core
versions. We do this under the module_mutex.
However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses
preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because
it's used in the oops path. It's also used in /proc/kallsyms.
There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can
get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact
this is what I saw when trying to reproduce.
By grouping these variables together, we can use a
carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the
other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU
callback, so that's safe). We allocate the init one at the end of the
module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module
itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module
core, but that's probably overkill).

'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables,

according to the above pattern.
Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c".
While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those
UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs
entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it
would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete
Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log,
*without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.'
There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350,
it is possible to have vcpu->arch.st.last_steal initialized
from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via
KVM_SET_MSRS.
Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads
sched_info.run_delay).
To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time,
before copying steal time data to guest.

The value 5000 was put here with the addition of the timeout field to
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session. It was originally added in mac80211 to
save resources for drivers like iwlwifi, which only supports a limited
number of concurrent aggregation sessions.
Since iwlwifi does not use minstrel_ht and other drivers don't need
this, 0 is a better default - especially since there have been

Beniamino reported that he was getting an RTM_NEWLINK message for a
given interface, after the RTM_DELLINK for it. It turns out that the
message is a wireless extensions message, which was sent because the
interface had been connected and disconnection while it was deleted
caused a wext message.
For its netlink messages, wext uses RTM_NEWLINK, but the message is
without all the regular rtnetlink attributes, so "ip monitor link"
prints just rudimentary information:
5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default
link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>
link/ether
(from my hwsim reproduction)
This can cause userspace to get confused since it doesn't expect an
RTM_NEWLINK message after RTM_DELLINK.
The reason for this is that wext schedules a worker to send out the
messages, and the scheduling delay can cause the messages to get out
to userspace in different order.
To fix this, have wext register a netdevice notifier and flush out
any pending messages when netdevice state changes. This fixes any
ordering whenever the original message wasn't sent by a notifier
itself.

Commit f37755490fe9b ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added
a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is
online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection.
Commit 3a630178fd5f3 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints
are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that
are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if
a trace event was enabled. Commit f37755490fe9b only stopped the warnings
when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace
event was called when disabled.
To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added
to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that
it may be used now and in the future.

Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a
host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR)
to a suitable value. It turns out that this is because when the
code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers
(SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure
that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit.
This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could
compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral
value on guest exit.

Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least)
would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like
perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a
This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but
SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it
isn't safe:
When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a
quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting
up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent
residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously
specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA).
There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU
ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's
memory. (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.)
The guest can learn something about the host this way:
If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results
in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2.
After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where
MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from
host's tracing.
This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing
and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction
before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already
overwritten with guest's).
We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but
disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much.
We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that
optimization isn't worth its code, IMO.
(If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case
where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.)

In a couple places we are not converting to/from the Linux
block layer 512 bytes sectors.
1.
The request queue values and what we do are a mismatch of
things:
max_discard_sectors - This is in linux block layer 512 byte
sectors. We are just copying this to max_unmap_lba_count.
discard_granularity - This is in bytes. We are converting it
to Linux block layer 512 byte sectors.
discard_alignment - This is in bytes. We are just copying
this over.
The problem is that the core LIO code exports these values in
spc_emulate_evpd_b0 and we use them to test request arguments
in sbc_execute_unmap, but we never convert to the block size
we export to the initiator. If we are not using 512 byte sectors
then we are exporting the wrong values or are checks are off.
And, for the discard_alignment/bytes case we are just plain messed
up.
2.
blkdev_issue_discard's start and number of sector arguments
are supposed to be in linux block layer 512 byte sectors. We are
currently passing in the values we get from the initiator which
might be based on some other sector size.
There is a similar problem in iblock_execute_write_same where
the bio functions want values in 512 byte sectors but we are
passing in what we got from the initiator.

This patch fixes a race between setting of SCF_SEND_DELAYED_TAS

transport_check_aborted_status().
It adds a __transport_check_aborted_status() version that is

held, and a transport_check_aborted_status() wrapper for
all other existing callers.
Also, it handles the case where the check happens before
transport_send_task_abort() gets called. For this, go
ahead and set SCF_SEND_DELAYED_TAS early when necessary,
and have transport_send_task_abort() send the abort.

To address the bug where fabric driver level shutdown

is happening resulting in a -1 ->cmd_kref, this patch
adds a CMD_T_FABRIC_STOP bit that is used to determine
when TMR + driver I_T nexus shutdown is happening
concurrently.
It changes target_sess_cmd_list_set_waiting() to obtain
se_cmd->cmd_kref + set CMD_T_FABRIC_STOP, and drop local
reference in target_wait_for_sess_cmds() and invoke extra
target_put_sess_cmd() during Task Aborted Status (TAS)
when necessary.
Also, it adds a new target_wait_free_cmd() wrapper around
transport_wait_for_tasks() for the special case within
transport_generic_free_cmd() to set CMD_T_FABRIC_STOP,
and is now aware of CMD_T_ABORTED + CMD_T_TAS status
bits to know when an extra transport_put_cmd() during
TAS is required.
Note transport_generic_free_cmd() is expected to block on
cmd->cmd_wait_comp in order to follow what iscsi-target
expects during iscsi_conn context se_cmd shutdown.

This patch fixes a bug in TMR task aborted status (TAS)
handling when multiple sessions are connected to the
same target WWPN endpoint and se_node_acl descriptor,
resulting in TASK_ABORTED status to not be generated
for aborted se_cmds on the remote port.
This is due to core_tmr_handle_tas_abort() incorrectly
comparing se_node_acl instead of se_session, for which
the multi-session case is expected to be sharing the
same se_node_acl.
Instead, go ahead and update core_tmr_handle_tas_abort()
to compare tmr_sess + cmd->se_sess in order to determine
if the LUN_RESET was received on a different I_T nexus,
and TASK_ABORTED status response needs to be generated.

refcount bug during TMR LUN_RESET with active se_cmd
I/O, that can be triggered during se_cmd descriptor
shutdown + release via core_tmr_drain_state_list() code.
To address this bug, add common __target_check_io_state()

checking, and set CMD_T_ABORTED + obtain ->cmd_kref for
both cases ahead of last target_put_sess_cmd() after
TFO->aborted_task() -> transport_cmd_finish_abort()
callback has completed.
It also introduces SCF_ACK_KREF to determine when
transport_cmd_finish_abort() needs to drop the second
extra reference, ahead of calling target_put_sess_cmd()
for the final kref_put(&se_cmd->cmd_kref).
It also updates transport_cmd_check_stop() to avoid
holding se_cmd->t_state_lock while dropping se_cmd
device state via target_remove_from_state_list(), now
that core_tmr_drain_state_list() is holding the
se_device lock while checking se_cmd state from
within TMR logic.
Finally, move transport_put_cmd() release of SGL +
TMR + extended CDB memory into target_free_cmd_mem()
in order to avoid potential resource leaks in TMR
ABORT_TASK + LUN_RESET code-paths. Also update
target_release_cmd_kref() accordingly.

Now that TASK_ABORTED status is not generated for all cases by

necessary in order to give fabric drivers a chance to unmap
hardware / software resources before the se_cmd descriptor is

This patch adds TFO->aborted_task() in core_tmr_abort_task()

also updates all fabric drivers to implement this caller.
The fabric drivers that include changes to perform cleanup

- srpt
- tcm_qla2xxx

This patch addresses three of long standing issues wrt to Task
Aborted Status (TAS) handling.
The first is the incorrect assumption in core_tmr_handle_tas_abort()
that TASK_ABORTED status is sent for the task referenced by TMR
ABORT_TASK, and sending TASK_ABORTED status for TMR LUN_RESET on
the same nexus the LUN_RESET was received.
The second is to ensure the lun reference count is dropped within
transport_cmd_finish_abort() by calling transport_lun_remove_cmd()
before invoking transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric().
The last is to fix the delayed TAS handling to allow outstanding
WRITEs to complete before sending the TASK_ABORTED status. This
includes changing transport_check_aborted_status() to avoid
processing when SCF_SEND_DELAYED_TAS has not be set, and updating
transport_send_task_abort() to drop the SCF_SENT_DELAYED_TAS
check.

The Parrot NMEA GPS Flight Recorder is a USB composite device
consisting of hub, flash storage, and cp210x usb to serial chip.
It is an accessory to the mass-produced Parrot AR Drone 2.
The device emits standard NMEA messages which make the it compatible
with NMEA compatible software. It was tested using gpsd version 3.11-3
as an NMEA interpreter and using the official Parrot Flight Recorder.
If we use USB ID pin as wakeup source, and there is a USB block
device on this USB OTG (ID) cable, the system will be deadlock
after system resume.
The root cause for this problem is: the workqueue ci_otg may try
to remove hcd before the driver resume has finished, and hcd will
disconnect the device on it, then, it will call device_release_driver,
and holds the device lock "dev->mutex", but it is never unlocked since
it waits workqueue writeback to run to flush the block information, but
the workqueue writeback is freezable, it is not thawed before driver
resume has finished.
When the driver (device: sd 0:0:0:0:) resume goes to dpm_complete, it
tries to get its device lock "dev->mutex", but it can't get it forever,
then the deadlock occurs. Below call stacks show the situation.
So, in order to fix this problem, we need to change workqueue ci_otg
as freezable, then the work item in this workqueue will be run after
driver's resume, this workqueue will not be blocked forever like above
case since the workqueue writeback has been thawed too.
The timer user status compat ioctl returned the bogus struct used for
64bit architectures instead of the 32bit one. This patch addresses
it to return the proper struct.
HDSPM driver contains a code issuing zero-division potentially in
system sample rate ctl code. This patch fixes it by not processing
a zero or invalid rate value as a divisor, as well as excluding the
invalid value to be passed via the given ctl element.
The OSS sequencer client tries to drain the pending events at
releasing. Unfortunately, as spotted by syzkaller fuzzer, this may
lead to an unkillable process state when the event has been queued at
the far future. Since the process being released can't be signaled
any longer, it remains and waits for the echo-back event in that far
future.
Back to history, the draining feature was implemented at the time we
misinterpreted POSIX definition for blocking file operation.
Actually, such a behavior is superfluous at release, and we should
just release the device as is instead of keeping it up forever.
This patch just removes the draining call that may block the release
for too long time unexpectedly.
X32 ABI takes the 64bit timespec, thus the timer user status ioctl becomes
incompatible with IA32. This results in NOTTY error when the ioctl is
issued.
Meanwhile, this struct in X32 is essentially identical with the one in
X86-64, so we can just bypassing to the existing code for this
specific compat ioctl.
Like the previous fixes for ctl and PCM, we need a fix for
incompatible X32 ABI regarding the rawmidi: namely, struct
snd_rawmidi_status has the timespec, and the size and the alignment on
X32 differ from IA32.
The X32 ABI takes the same alignment like x86-64, and this may result
in the incompatible struct size from ia32. Unfortunately, we hit this
in some control ABI: struct snd_ctl_elem_value differs between them
due to the position of 64bit variable array. This ends up with the
unknown ioctl (ENOTTY) error.
The fix is to add the compat entries for the new aligned struct.
