commit 6e017006022abfea5d2466cad936065f45763ad1 upstream.
gcc-7 detects that wlanhdr_to_ethhdr() in two drivers calls memcpy() with
a destination argument that an earlier function call may have set to NULL:
staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_recv.c: In function 'wlanhdr_to_ethhdr':
staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_recv.c:1318:2: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]
staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_recv.c: In function 'r8712_wlanhdr_to_ethhdr':
staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_recv.c:649:2: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]
I'm fixing this by adding a NULL pointer check and returning failure
from the function, which is hopefully already handled properly.
This seems to date back to when the drivers were originally added,
so backporting the fix to stable seems appropriate. There are other
related realtek drivers in the kernel, but none of them contain a
function with a similar name or produce this warning.

commit f6b1160eb27f990cc1c48b67a5f83cb63115284e upstream.
Arnd Bergmann pointed out that gcc-6 warns about passing negative signed
integer into swab16() due to the macro expansion of 'outw'.
It appears that the register map constants are causing the warnings.
Actually, it might just be the (1 << 15) ones...
Convert all the constants as suggested by checkpatch.pl:
CHECK: Prefer using the BIT macro
The BIT() macro will make all the constants explicitly 'unsigned', which
helps to avoid the warning.
Fix the, unsused, DT2821_CHANCSR_PRESLA() macro. The "Present List
Address" (PRESLA) bits in the CHANCSR register are read only. This
define was meant to extract the bits from the read value.

commit b321a38d2407c7e425c54bc09be909a34e49f740 upstream.
The oversampling ratio is controlled using the oversampling pins,
OS [2:0] with OS2 being the MSB control bit, and OS0 the LSB control
bit.
The gpio connected to the OS2 pin is not being set correctly, only OS0
and OS1 pins are being set. Fix the typo to allow proper control of the
oversampling pins.

commit 857a661020a2de3a0304edf33ad656abee100891 upstream.
Commit 0557344e2149 ("staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: fix local var for
32-bit read") changed the type of local variable `d` from `unsigned
short` to `unsigned int` to fix a bug introduced in
commit 9c340ac934db ("staging: comedi: ni_stc.h: add read/write
callbacks to struct ni_private") when reading AI data for NI PCI-6110
and PCI-6111 cards. Unfortunately, other parts of the function rely on
the variable being `unsigned short` when an offset value in local
variable `signbits` is added to `d` before writing the value to the
`data` array:
d += signbits;
data[n] = d;
The `signbits` variable will be non-zero in bipolar mode, and is used to
convert the hardware's 2's complement, 16-bit numbers to Comedi's
straight binary sample format (with 0 representing the most negative
voltage). This breaks because `d` is now 32 bits wide instead of 16
bits wide, so after the addition of `signbits`, `data[n]` ends up being
set to values above 65536 for negative voltages. This affects all
supported "E series" cards except PCI-6143 (and PXI-6143). Fix it by
ANDing the value written to the `data[n]` with the mask 0xffff.

For NI M Series cards, the Comedi `insn_read` handler for the AI
subdevice is broken due to ANDing the value read from the AI FIFO data
register with an incorrect mask. The incorrect mask clears all but the
most significant bit of the sample data. It should preserve all the
sample data bits. Correct it.

commit 17c1c9ba15b238ef79b51cf40d855c05b58d5934 upstream.
This reverts commit 36b30d6138f4677514aca35ab76c20c1604baaad.
This is necessary to detect paz00 (ac100) touchpad properly as one
speaking ETPS/2 protocol. Without it X.org's synaptics driver doesn't
work as the touchpad is detected as an ImPS/2 mouse instead.
Commit ec6184b1c717b8768122e25fe6d312f609cc1bb4 changed the way
auto-detection is performed on ports marked as pass through and made the
issue apparent.
A pass through port is an additional PS/2 port used to connect a slave
device to a master device that is using PS/2 to communicate with the
host (so slave's PS/2 communication is tunneled over master's PS/2
link). "Synaptics PS/2 TouchPad Interfacing Guide" describes such a
setup (PS/2 PASS-THROUGH OPTION section).
Since paz00's embedded controller is not connected to a PS/2 port
itself, the PS/2 interface it exposes is not a pass-through one.

commit 34eee70a7b82b09dbda4cb453e0e21d460dae226 upstream.
The ad5933_i2c_read function returns an error code to indicate
whether it could read data or not. However ad5933_work() ignores
this return code and just accesses the data unconditionally,
which gets detected by gcc as a possible bug:
drivers/staging/iio/impedance-analyzer/ad5933.c: In function 'ad5933_work':
drivers/staging/iio/impedance-analyzer/ad5933.c:649:16: warning: 'status' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
This adds minimal error handling so we only evaluate the
data if it was correctly read.

commit f0f4b0cc3a8cffd983f5940d46cd0227f3f5710a upstream.
Commit ebb657babfa9 ("staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: clarify the
cmd->start_arg validation and use") introduced a backwards compatibility
issue in the use of asynchronous commands on the AO subdevice when
`start_src` is `TRIG_EXT`. Valid values for `start_src` are `TRIG_INT`
(for internal, software trigger), and `TRIG_EXT` (for external trigger).
When set to `TRIG_EXT`. In both cases, the driver relies on an
internal, software trigger to set things up (allowing the user
application to write sufficient samples to the data buffer before the
trigger), so it acts as a software "pre-trigger" in the `TRIG_EXT` case.
The software trigger is handled by `ni_ao_inttrig()`.
Prior to the above change, when `start_src` was `TRIG_INT`, `start_arg`
was required to be 0, and `ni_ao_inttrig()` checked that the software
trigger number was also 0. After the above change, when `start_src` was
`TRIG_INT`, any value was allowed for `start_arg`, and `ni_ao_inttrig()`
checked that the software trigger number matched this `start_arg` value.
The backwards compatibility issue is that the internal trigger number
now has to match `start_arg` when `start_src` is `TRIG_EXT` when it
previously had to be 0.
Fix the backwards compatibility issue in `ni_ao_inttrig()` by always
allowing software trigger number 0 when `start_src` is something other
than `TRIG_INT`.
Thanks to Spencer Olson for reporting the issue.

commit 403fe7f34e3327ddac2e06a15e76a293d613381e upstream.
Commit 73e0e4dfed4c ("staging: comedi: comedi_test: fix timer lock-up")
fixed a lock-up in the timer routine `waveform_ai_timer()` (which was
called `waveform_ai_interrupt()` at the time) caused by
commit 240512474424 ("staging: comedi: comedi_test: use
comedi_handle_events()"). However, it introduced a race condition that
can result in the timer routine misbehaving, such as accessing freed
memory or dereferencing a NULL pointer.
73e0... changed the timer routine to do nothing unless a
`WAVEFORM_AI_RUNNING` flag was set, and changed `waveform_ai_cancel()`
to clear the flag and replace a call to `del_timer_sync()` with a call
to `del_timer()`. `waveform_ai_cancel()` may be called from the timer
routine itself (via `comedi_handle_events()`), or from `do_cancel()`.
(`do_cancel()` is called as a result of a file operation (usually a
`COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl command, or a release), or during device removal.)
When called from `do_cancel()`, the call to `waveform_ai_cancel()` is
followed by a call to `do_become_nonbusy()`, which frees up stuff for
the current asynchronous command under the assumption that it is now
safe to do so. The race condition occurs when the timer routine
`waveform_ai_timer()` checks the `WAVEFORM_AI_RUNNING` flag just before
it is cleared by `waveform_ai_cancel()`, and is still running during the
call to `do_become_nonbusy()`. In particular, it can lead to a NULL
pointer dereference:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<ffffffffc0c63add>] waveform_ai_timer+0x17d/0x290 [comedi_test]
That corresponds to this line in `waveform_ai_timer()`:
unsigned int chanspec = cmd->chanlist[async->cur_chan];
but `do_become_nonbusy()` frees `cmd->chanlist` and sets it to `NULL`.
Fix the race by calling `del_timer_sync()` instead of `del_timer()` in
`waveform_ai_cancel()` when not in an interrupt context. The only time
`waveform_ai_cancel()` is called in an interrupt context is when it is
called from the timer routine itself, via `comedi_handle_events()`.
There is no longer any need for the `WAVEFORM_AI_RUNNING` flag, so get
rid of it.
The bug was copied from the AI subdevice to the AO when support for
commands on the AO subdevice was added by commit 0cf55bbef2f9 ("staging:
comedi: comedi_test: implement commands on AO subdevice"). That
involves the timer routine `waveform_ao_timer()`, the comedi "cancel"
routine `waveform_ao_cancel()`, and the flag `WAVEFORM_AO_RUNNING`. Fix
it in the same way as for the AI subdevice.
Fixes: 73e0e4dfed4c ("staging: comedi: comedi_test: fix timer lock-up")

commit e6bd18f57aad1a2d1ef40e646d03ed0f2515c9e3 upstream.
The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for
bi-directional ioctl(). This is not safe. There are ways to
trigger write calls that result in the return structure that
is normally written to user space being shunted off to user
specified kernel memory instead.
For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to
the write API.
For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API
to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities
(likely a structured ioctl() interface).
The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if
hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.

nfit: acpi_nfit_notify(): Do not leave device locked
|
|
commit db0fa0cb0157 "scatterlist: use sg_phys()" did replacements of
the form:
phys_addr_t phys = page_to_phys(sg_page(s));
phys_addr_t phys = sg_phys(s) & PAGE_MASK;
However, this breaks platforms where sizeof(phys_addr_t) >
sizeof(unsigned long). Revert for 4.3 and 4.4 to make room for a
combined helper in 4.5.

The ioctl IOC_LIBCFS_PING_TEST has not been used in ages. The recent
nidstring changes which moved all the nidstring operations from libcfs
to the LNet layer but this ioctl code was still using an nidstring
operation that was causing a circular dependency loop between libcfs and
LNet.

Starting with commit fd2bb310ca (Staging: iio: Move evgen interrupt
generation to irq_work) event processing is handled by calling
both the top half and the threaded part properly simulating real
hardware interrupts making use of threaded interrupts.
This way the processing is split in 2 parts:
* the IRQ handler that runs in IRQ context and only saves the event
timestamp
* the threaded handler that runs in process context, reads the events
and pushes the in the userspace.
If the IRQ handler returns IRQ_HANDLED the threaded handler is not
even being called since the interrupt is considered to be processed.
Because the iio dummy driver processes the events in the threaded
handler the IRQ handler must return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD so that the
threaded part would be awakened and called.

The source and destination pointers are misplaced.
This will be like,
ether_addr_copy(data, bssid + ADDR2);
-> ether_addr_copy(bssid, data + ADDR2);
and also to use ether_addr_copy, it has to be proved that src/dst address are
properly aligned(2).
I revert this as author agree to drop this patch.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

GFP_IOFS was intended to be shorthand for clearing two flags, not a set of
allocation flags. There is only one user of this flag combination now and
there appears to be no reason why Lustre had to be protected from reclaim
stalls. As none of the sites appear to be atomic, this patch simply
deletes GFP_IOFS and converts Lustre to using GFP_KERNEL, GFP_NOFS or
GFP_NOIO as appropriate.

sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
"Core:
- WARN (in some cases) when a struct mtd_info is registered multiple
times; in the past this was "supported", but it's still error prone
for future development. There's only one ugly case of this left in
the tree (that we're aware of) and the owners are aware of the
problems there.
- fix potential deadlock in the blkdev removal path NOTE: the
(potential) deadlock was introduced in a for-stable patch. This
one is also marked for -stable.
- ioctl(BLKPG) compat_ioctl support; resolves issues with 32-bit user
space vs 64-bit kernel space
- Set MTD parent device correctly throughout the tree, so the tree
structure appears correctly in sysfs; many drivers were missing
this (soft) requirement
- Move device tree partitions (ofpart) into a dedicated 'partitions'
subnode; this helps to disambiguate whether a node is a partition
or some other auxiliary data
- Improve error handling for partitioning failures

- General: Increase timeout period, for corner-case systems with
