usb: core: lpm: fix usb3_hardware_lpm sysfs node

2016-01-31T19:25:49+00:00

commit bf5ce5bf3cc7136fd7fe5e8999a580bc93a9c8f6 upstream. Commit 655fe4effe0f ("usbcore: add sysfs support to xHCI usb3 hardware LPM") introduced usb3_hardware_lpm sysfs node. This doesn't show the correct status of USB3 U1 and U2 LPM status. This patch fixes this by replacing usb3_hardware_lpm with two nodes, usb3_hardware_lpm_u1 (for U1) and usb3_hardware_lpm_u2 (for U2), and recording the U1/U2 LPM status in right places. This patch should be back-ported to kernels as old as 4.3, that contains Commit 655fe4effe0f ("usbcore: add sysfs support to xHCI usb3 hardware LPM").

drivers/serial: Add driver for Aspeed virtual UART

2016-01-30T00:34:18+00:00

This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr

Adds a hwmon driver for BMC to monitor Power8 CPU sensors via On Chip Controller. Signed-off-by: Yi Li Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley

mtd/spi-nor: Add SPI memory controllers for ASPEED AST2400

2016-01-27T03:13:52+00:00

This driver adds mtd support for spi-nor attached to either or both of the Static Memory Controller (new registers) or the SPI Memory Controller. The Static Memory Controller is the boot soruce for the SOC. The controller supports up to 5 chip selects in any combination of NAND, NOR, and SPI. The memory controller registers were updated in the AST2300 and this fmc binding is for the registers in the new mode. This driver currently supports only SPI-NOR attached memory, but has some considerations to support the others later (including choice of the Kconfig symbol). There is also a similar register set to support the Static Memory Controller in a legacy address mode. That mode is not currently supported because it is expected that the system will run with the fmc binding supporting multiple chip selects. The normal application of the SPI Memory Controller is designated for use by the host system either for video bios or system bios and can be accessed over either an LPC bus and/or a PCIe bus or via a SPI passthough. The SOC can also access this chip for firmware updates when not in passthrough mode. It is expected the passthru mode and the alternate chip select will be controlled by a future pinmux driver. This driver has only been tested with the ast2400 SOC. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller

fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan

2015-12-09T19:34:25+00:00

commit b2f73922d119686323f14fbbe46587f863852328 upstream. So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in) leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space: seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan); The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason: static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns, struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task) { unsigned long wchan; char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN]; wchan = get_wchan(task); if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) { if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ)) return 0; seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan); } else { seq_printf(m, "%s", symname); } return 0; } This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset to any local attacker: fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35) ffffffff8123b380 Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic: ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat: triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1 open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY) = 6 There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked (whether there's a wchan address). These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason user-space would be interested in the absolute address. The absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the decoding itself via the System.map. So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan. ( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. ) Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Al Viro Cc: Alexander Potapenko Cc: Andrey Konovalov Cc: Andrey Ryabinin Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: Dmitry Vyukov Cc: Kostya Serebryany Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Sasha Levin Cc: kasan-dev Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150930135917.GA3285@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
