commit 5ba2f67afb02c5302b2898949ed6fc3b3d37dcf1 upstream
NULL function pointers are very bad security wise. This one got caught by
kerneloops.org quite a few times, so it's happening in the field....
Fix is simple, check the function pointer for NULL, like 6 other places
in the same function are already doing.

commit 4b40893918203ee1a1f6a114316c2a19c072e9bd upstream
Olaf Kirch noticed that the i915_set_status_page() function of the i915
kernel driver calls ioremap with an address offset that is supplied by
userspace via ioctl. The function zeroes the mapped memory via memset
and tells the hardware about the address. Turns out that access to that
ioctl is not restricted to root so users could probably exploit that to
do nasty things. We haven't tried to write actual exploit code though.
It only affects the Intel G33 series and newer.

According to acpi spec , the objectes of _BCL and _BCM are required if
integrated LCD is present and supports brightness level and the _BQC is
the optional object. So the _BQC object will be ignored when the backlight
device is registered.
At the same time when there is no _BQC object, the current brightness will be
set to the maximum.

based on commit 98dd22c3e086d76058083432d4d8fb85f04bab90 upstream
On the Shuttle SN68PT, FAN_CTL2 is apparently not connected to a fan,
but to something else. One user has reported instant system power-off
when changing the PWM2 duty cycle, so we disable it.
I use the board name string as the trigger in case the same board is
ever used in other systems.
This closes lm-sensors ticket #2349:
pwmconfig causes a hard poweroff

commit b5ff7df3df9efab511244d5a299fce706c71af48 upstream
Check mapped ranges on sysfs resource files
This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space
PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original
explanation:
It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs.
However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application
to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it
opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time,
similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level
PCI remapping routines.
It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption
problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the
end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like
that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious
reasons.
and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function
to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes)
in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc.

The ACPI FADT table includes an ASPM control bit. If the bit is set, do
not enable ASPM since it may indicate that the platform doesn't actually

Commit fe6c700ff34e68e1eb7991e9c5d18986d0005ac1 upstream
V4L/DVB (9053): fix buffer overflow in uvc-video
There is a buffer overflow in drivers/media/video/uvc/uvc_ctrl.c:
INFO: 0xf2c5ce08-0xf2c5ce0b. First byte 0xa1 instead of 0xcc
INFO: Allocated in uvc_query_v4l2_ctrl+0x3c/0x239 [uvcvideo] age=13 cpu=1 pid=4975
...
A fixed size 8-byte buffer is allocated, and a variable size field is read
into it; there is no particular bound on the size of the field (it is
dependent on hardware and configuration) and it can overflow [also
verified by inserting printk's.]
The patch attempts to size the buffer to the correctly.

boolean control.
commit 54812c77bc830e2dbcb62b4c6d8a9c7f97cfdd1b upstream
[required to get the following two patches to apply]
Although the V4L2 spec states that the minimum and maximum fields may not be
valid for control types other than V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_INTEGER, it makes sense
to set the bounds to 0 and 1 for boolean controls instead of returning
uninitialized values.

The zr36067 driver is improperly declaring pixel format RGBP twice,
once as "16-bit RGB LE" and once as "16-bit RGB BE". The latter is

(cherry picked from commit c37396c19403e249f12626187d51e92c915f2bc9)
Fix the following crash in the bttv driver:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000036c
IP: [<ffffffffa037860a>] radio_open+0x3a/0x170 [bttv]
This happens because radio_open assumes that all present bttv devices
have a radio function. If a bttv device without radio and one with
radio are installed on the same system, and the one without radio is
registered first, then radio_open checks for the radio device number
of a bttv device that has no radio function, and this breaks. All we
have to do to fix it is to skip bttv devices without a radio function.

ehc->i.action got accidentally overwritten to ATA_EH_HARD/SOFTRESET in
ata_eh_reset(). The original intention was to clear reset action
which wasn't selected. This can cause unexpected behavior when other
EH actions are scheduled together with reset. Fix it.

commit 5dbfc9cb59d4ad75199949d7dd8a8c6d7bc518df upstream
As an optimization, follow-up SRST used to be skipped if
classification wasn't requested even when hardreset requested it via
-EAGAIN. However, some hardresets can't wait for device readiness and
skipping SRST can cause timeout or other failures during revalidation.
Always perform follow-up SRST if hardreset returns -EAGAIN. This
makes reset paths more predictable and thus less error-prone.
While at it, move hardreset error checking such that it's done right
after hardreset is finished. This simplifies followup SRST condition
check a bit and makes the reset path easier to modify.

When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before
closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct
file. When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different
process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes.
So disable SIGIO notification on close.

commit 08650869e0ec581f8d88cfdb563d37f5383abfe2 upstream
Commit 22af89aa0c0b4012a7431114a340efd3665a7617 ("fbcon: replace mono_col
macro with static inline") changed the order of operations for computing
monochrome color values. This generates 0xffff000f instead of 0x0000000f
for a 4 bit monochrome color, leading to image corruption if it is passed
to cfb_imageblit or other similar functions. Fix it up.

commit 9d699ed92a459cb408e2577e8bbeabc8ec3989e1 upstream
When EC is in Polling mode, OS will check the EC status continually by using
the following source code:
clear_bit(EC_FLAGS_WAIT_GPE, &ec->flags);
while (time_before(jiffies, delay)) {
if (acpi_ec_check_status(ec, event))
return 0;
msleep(1);
}
But msleep is realized by the function of schedule_timeout. At the same time
although one process is already waken up by some events, it won't be scheduled
immediately. So maybe there exists the following phenomena:
a. The current jiffies is already after the predefined jiffies.
But before timeout happens, OS has no chance to check the EC
status again.
b. If preemptible schedule is enabled, maybe preempt schedule will happen
before checking loop. When the process is resumed again, maybe
timeout already happens, which means that OS has no chance to check
the EC status.
In such case maybe EC status is already what OS expects when timeout happens.
But OS has no chance to check the EC status and regards it as AE_TIME.
So it will be more appropriate that OS will try to check the EC status again
when timeout happens. If the EC status is what we expect, it won't be regarded
as timeout. Only when the EC status is not what we expect, it will be regarded
as timeout, which means that EC controller can't give a response in time.

commit 048feec5548c0582ee96148c61b87cccbcb5f9be upstream
Josip Rodin noted
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.sparc/10152) the
driver oopsing during registration of an rport to the
FC-transport layer with a backtrace indicating a dereferencing of
an shost->shost_data equal to NULL. David Miller identified a
small window in driver logic where this could happen:
> Look at how the driver registers the IRQ handler before the host has
> been registered with the SCSI layer.
>
> That leads to a window of time where the shost hasn't been setup

Close this window by enabling RISC interrupts after the host has
been registered with the SCSI midlayer.

commit 83a798207361cc26385187b2e71efa2b5d75de7f upstream
Commit de85422b94ddb23c021126815ea49414047c13dc, 'USB: fix interrupt
disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers' changed usb_add_hcd()
to strip IRQF_DISABLED from irqflags prior to calling request_irq()
with the justification that such a removal was necessary for shared
interrupts to work properly. Unfortunately, the change in that commit
unconditionally removes the IRQF_DISABLED flag, causing problems on
platforms that don't use a shared interrupt but require IRQF_DISABLED.
This change adds a check for IRQF_SHARED prior to removing the
IRQF_DISABLED flag.
Fixes the PS3 system startup hang reported with recent Fedora and
OpenSUSE kernels.
Note that this problem is hidden when CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y (ps3_defconfig),
as local_irq_enable_in_hardirq() is defined as a null statement for
that config.

commit 8423597d676615f3dd2d9ab36f59f147086b90b8 upstream
Fixes several chipselect bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. These bugs are in
all versions of this driver and prevent using it with chips like m25p16
flash.
1. The spi_transfer.cs_change flag is handled too early:
before spi_transfer.delay_usecs applies, thus making the
delay ineffective at holding chip select.
2. spi_transfer.delay_usecs is ignored on the last transfer
of a message (likewise not holding chipselect long enough).
3. If spi_transfer.cs_change is set on the last transfer, the
chip select is always disabled, instead of the intended
meaning: optionally holding chip select enabled for the
next message.
Those first three bugs were fixed with a relocation of delays
and chip select de-assertions.
4. If a message has the cs_change flag set on the last transfer,
and had the chip select stayed enabled as requested (see 3,
above), it would not have been disabled if the next message is
for a different chip. Fixed by dropping chip select regardless
of cs_change at end of a message, if there is no next message
or if the next message is for a different chip.
This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20. An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

commit 7e96445533ac3f4f7964646a202ff3620602fab4 upstream
Fixes two DMA bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. The first bug is in all
versions of this driver; the second was introduced in the 2.6.20 kernel,
and prevents using the driver with chips like m25p16 flash (which can
issue large DMA reads).
1. Zero length transfers are permitted for use to insert timing,
but pxa2xx_spi.c will fail if this is requested in DMA mode.
Fixed by using programmed I/O (PIO) mode for such transfers.
2. Transfers larger than 8191 are not permitted in DMA mode. A
test for length rejects all large transfers regardless of DMA
or PIO mode. Worked around by rejecting only large transfers
with DMA mapped buffers, and forcing all other transfers
larger than 8191 to use PIO mode. A rate limited warning is
issued for DMA transfers forced to PIO mode.
This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20. An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

patch 4ba526ced990f4d61ee8d65fe8a6f0745e8e455c upstream
The git commit 7c5026aa9b81dd45df8d3f4e0be73e485976a8b6 ("tg3: Add
link state reporting to UMP firmware") introduced code that waits for
previous firmware events to be serviced before attempting to submit a
new event. Unfortunately that patch contained a bug that cause the
driver to wait 2.5 seconds, rather than 2.5 milliseconds as intended.
This patch fixes that bug.
This bug revealed that not all firmware versions service driver events
though. Since we do not know which versions of the firmware do and don't
service these events, the driver needs some way to minimize the effects
of the delay. This patch solves the problem by recording a jiffies
timestamp when it submits an event to the hardware. If the jiffies
counter shows that 2.5 milliseconds have already passed, a wait is not
needed and the driver can proceed to submit a new event.

commit 363f66fe06c75270b669c88e321e6b354ba0201e upstream
Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly
re-assert THRE (01c194d9278efc15d4785ff205643e9c0bdcef53: "serial 8250:
tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was
opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected
at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular
UART IP it is fatal.
This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the
port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can
check this bit even if the test for the bug fails.
David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci
hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has
periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ...
and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from
some previous versions. With this patch from Will, it's usable."

unsigned:
void rtc_time_to_tm(unsigned long time, struct rtc_time *tm)
{
- register int days, month, year;
+ unsigned int days, month, year;
This doesn't work for all cases, because days is checked for < 0 later
on:
if (days < 0) {
year -= 1;
days += 365 + LEAP_YEAR(year);
}
I think the correct fix would be to keep days signed and do an appropriate
cast later on.

credit_entropy_bits() does:

We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems

commit edcfe5f7e307846e578fb88d69fa27051fded0ab upstream
Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support
TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers).
However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without
extension headers.
Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets.
A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform
software checksum calculation.

This causes the device initilization for these devices to fail.
To fix this problem we need to correct the dasd_psf_prssd_data

commit d847471d063663b9f36927d265c66a270c0cfaab upstream
Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473.
Previously the handler was incidentally provided by tmpfs but this was
removed with:
commit 14fcc23fdc78e9d32372553ccf21758a9bd56fa1
Author: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Date: Mon Jul 28 15:46:19 2008 -0700
tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode
relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG also
appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem.
v2: override a_ops at open() time rather than mmap() time to minimise
races per AKPM's concerns.

commit ebca4f1bce1eb7b91a63c515db66316db9391221 upstream
Alex Chiang and Matthew Wilcox pointed out that pci_get_dev_by_id() does
not properly decrement the reference on the from pointer if it is
present, like the documentation for the function states it will.
It fixes a pretty bad leak in the hotplug core (we were leaking an
entire struct pci_dev for each function of each offlined card, the first
time around; subsequent onlines/offlines were ok).

crypto: padlock - fix VIA PadLock instruction usage with irq_ts_save/restore()

=======================
Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
around the padlock instructions fix the oops.
Suresh wrote:
These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves
similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults
when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
oops with the recent fpu code changes.
This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem:
a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()
b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
cleared.
c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
in the task's xstate.
d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
the TS_USEDFPU is still set.
e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()
Now:
1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.
2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.
3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
math state was always in an allocated state.
With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
instructions generating DNA fault).
This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
changes:
0. CPU's TS flag is set
1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing
kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()
2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.
3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts
4. We complete the padlock routine
5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
set and not cleared.
6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
but take a DNA fault for the prev task.
This causes the fpu leakage.
Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
the possible FPU leakage issue.

commit 59f4ff2ecff4cef36378928cec891785b402e80c upstream
This patch (as1119b) will help to reduce the clutter of usb-storage's
unusual_devs file by automatically detecting some devices that need
the IGNORE_RESIDUE flag. The idea is that devices should never return
a non-zero residue for an INQUIRY or a READ CAPACITY command unless
they failed to transfer all the requested data. So if one of these
commands transfers a standard amount of data but there is a positive
residue, we know that the residue is bogus and we can set the flag.
This fixes the problems reported in Bugzilla #11125.
