2012-10-30genalloc: stop crashing the system when destroying a poolThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
commit eedce141cd2dad8d0cefc5468ef41898949a7031 upstream. The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in the bitmap. That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits (LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then. The same works for the lookup functions. The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap. However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for example, could be allocated for 70 bits. This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines. This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to set or check for a bit. This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits. What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of bytes. Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO. So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when rmmod'ed.

2012-08-10lib/vsprintf.c: kptr_restrict: fix pK-error in SysRq show-all-timers(Q)Dan Rosenberg
commit 3715c5309f6d175c3053672b73fd4f73be16fd07 upstream. When using ALT+SysRq+Q all the pointers are replaced with "pK-error" like this: [23153.208033] .base: pK-error with echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger it works: [23107.776363] .base: ffff88023e60d540 The intent behind this behavior was to return "pK-error" in cases where the %pK format specifier was used in interrupt context, because the CAP_SYSLOG check wouldn't be meaningful. Clearly this should only apply when kptr_restrict is actually enabled though.

2012-06-10btree: fix tree corruption in btree_get_prev()Roland Dreier
commit cbf8ae32f66a9ceb8907ad9e16663c2a29e48990 upstream. The memory the parameter __key points to is used as an iterator in btree_get_prev(), so if we save off a bkey() pointer in retry_key and then assign that to __key, we'll end up corrupting the btree internals when we do eg longcpy(__key, bkey(geo, node, i), geo->keylen); to return the key value. What we should do instead is use longcpy() to copy the key value that retry_key points to __key. This can cause a btree to get corrupted by seemingly read-only operations such as btree_for_each_safe.

2012-04-02uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum (v3)Andrew Vagin
commit 7b60a18da393ed70db043a777fd9e6d5363077c4 upstream. The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are ordered. Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock, than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event. This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum. v2: delete sequence_lock, uevent_seqnum is protected by uevent_sock_mutex v3: unlock the mutex before the goto exit Thanks for Kay for the comments.

2011-11-04netlink: validate NLA_MSECS lengthJohannes Berg
L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this: policy: [L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, }, code: if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]) cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]); As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough and might overrun the message.

2011-10-31lib/string.c: fix strim() semantics for strings that have only blanksMichael Holzheu
Commit 84c95c9acf0 ("string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces before running over str") improved the performance of the strim() function. Unfortunately this changed the semantics of strim() and broke my code. Before the patch it was possible to use strim() without using the return value for removing trailing spaces from strings that had either only blanks or only trailing blanks. Now this does not work any longer for strings that *only* have blanks. Before patch: " " -> "" (empty string) After patch: " " -> " " (no change) I think we should remove your patch to restore the old behavior. The description (lib/string.c): * Note that the first trailing whitespace is replaced with a %NUL-terminator => The first trailing whitespace of a string that only has whitespace characters is the first whitespace The patch restores the old strim() semantics.

2011-10-31lib/bitmap.c: quiet sparse noise about address spaceH Hartley Sweeten
__bitmap_parse() and __bitmap_parselist() both take a pointer to a kernel buffer as a parameter and then cast it to a pointer to user buffer for use in cases when the parameter is_user indicates that the buffer is actually located in user space. This casting, and the casts in the callers, results in sparse noise like the following: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) expected char const [noderef] <asn:1>*ubuf got char const *buf warning: cast removes address space of expression Since these casts are intentional, use __force to quiet the noise.

2011-10-18dynamic_debug: fix undefined reference to `__netdev_printk'Jason Baron
Dynamic debug recently added support for netdev_printk. It uses __netdev_printk() to support this functionality. However, when CONFIG_NET is not set, we get the following error: lib/built-in.o: In function `__dynamic_netdev_dbg': (.text+0x9fda): undefined reference to `__netdev_printk' Fix this by making the call to netdev_printk() contingent upon CONFIG_NET. We could have fixed this by defining netdev_printk() to a 'no-op' in the !CONFIG_NET case. However, this is not consistent with how the networking layer uses netdev_printk. For example, CONFIG_NET is not set, netdev_printk() does not have a 'no-op' definition defined.

2011-10-18dynamic_debug: use a single printk() to emit messagesJason Baron
We were using KERN_CONT to combine messages with their prefix. However, KERN_CONT is not smp safe, in the sense that it can interleave messages. This interleaving can result in printks coming out at the wrong loglevel. With the high frequency of printks that dynamic debug can produce this is not desirable. So make dynamic_emit_prefix() fill a char buf[64] instead of doing a printk directly. If we enable printing out of function, module, line, or pid info, they are placed in this 64 byte buffer. In my testing 64 bytes was enough size to fulfill all requests. Even if it's not, we can match up the printk itself to see where it's from, so to me this is no big deal.

This task is preparatory for the migrate_disable() implementation, but stands on its own and provides a cleanup. It currently only converts those sites required for task-placement. Kosaki-san once mentioned replacing cpus_allowed with a proper cpumask_t instead of the NR_CPUS sized array it currently is, that would also require something like this.

2011-10-04llist: Remove cpu_relax() usage in cmpxchg loopsPeter Zijlstra
Initial benchmarks show they're a net loss: $ for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor ; do echo performance > $i; done $ echo 4096 32000 64 128 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem $ ./sembench -t 2048 -w 1900 -o 0 Pre: run time 30 seconds 778936 worker burns per second run time 30 seconds 912190 worker burns per second run time 30 seconds 817506 worker burns per second run time 30 seconds 830870 worker burns per second run time 30 seconds 845056 worker burns per second Post: run time 30 seconds 905920 worker burns per second run time 30 seconds 849046 worker burns per second run time 30 seconds 886286 worker burns per second run time 30 seconds 822320 worker burns per second run time 30 seconds 900283 worker burns per second So about 4% faster. (!) cpu_relax() stalls the pipeline, therefore, when used in a tight loop it has the following benefits: - allows SMT siblings to have a go; - reduces pressure on the CPU interconnect. However, cmpxchg loops are unfair and thus have unbounded completion time, therefore we should avoid getting in such heavily contended situations where the above benefits make any difference. A typical cmpxchg loop should not go round more than a handfull of times at worst, therefore adding extra delays just slows things down. Since the llist primitives are new, there aren't any bad users yet, and we should avoid growing them. Heavily contended sites should generally be better off using the ticket locks for serialization since they provide bounded completion times (fifo-fair over the cpus).

2011-10-01ARM: always use ARM_UNWIND for thumb2 kernelsArnd Bergmann
Thumb2 kernels cannot be built with frame pointers, but can use the ARM_UNWIND feature for unwinding instead. This makes sure that all features that rely on unwinding includeing CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and FAULT_INJECTION_STACKTRACE_FILTER do not enable frame pointers when the unwinder is already selected, and we always build with the unwinder when we want a thumb2 kernel, to make sure we do not get the frame pointers instead. A different option would be to redefine the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS option on ARM to mean builing with either frame pointers or the unwinder, and then select which one to use based on the CPU architecture or another user option. That would still allow building thumb2 kernels without the unwinder but would also be more confusing. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2011-09-21XZ: Fix incorrect XZ_BUF_ERRORLasse Collin
xz_dec_run() could incorrectly return XZ_BUF_ERROR if all of the following was true: - The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect and only provides that much output space. - When the last output bytes are decoded, the caller-provided input buffer ends right before the LZMA2 end of payload marker. So LZMA2 won't provide more output anymore, but it won't know it yet and thus won't return XZ_STREAM_END yet. - A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any unfiltered bytes in the temp buffer. This can happen with any BCJ filter, but in practice it's more likely with filters other than the x86 BCJ. This fixes <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735408> where Squashfs thinks that a valid file system is corrupt. This also fixes a similar bug in single-call mode where the uncompressed size of a block using BCJ + LZMA2 was 0 bytes and caller provided no output space. Many empty .xz files don't contain any blocks and thus don't trigger this bug. This also tweaks a closely related detail: xz_dec_bcj_run() could call xz_dec_lzma2_run() to decode into temp buffer when it was known to be useless. This was harmless although it wasted a minuscule number of CPU cycles.
