mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()

2016-10-20T08:49:58+00:00

commit 19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619 upstream. This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug"). In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will have to look at the page state itself. Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger. To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

x86/build: Build compressed x86 kernels as PIE

2016-10-20T08:49:57+00:00

commit 6d92bc9d483aa1751755a66fee8fb39dffb088c0 upstream. The 32-bit x86 assembler in binutils 2.26 will generate R_386_GOT32X relocation to get the symbol address in PIC. When the compressed x86 kernel isn't built as PIC, the linker optimizes R_386_GOT32X relocations to their fixed symbol addresses. However, when the compressed x86 kernel is loaded at a different address, it leads to the following load failure: Failed to allocate space for phdrs during the decompression stage. If the compressed x86 kernel is relocatable at run-time, it should be compiled with -fPIE, instead of -fPIC, if possible and should be built as Position Independent Executable (PIE) so that linker won't optimize R_386_GOT32X relocation to its fixed symbol address. Older linkers generate R_386_32 relocations against locally defined symbols, _bss, _ebss, _got and _egot, in PIE. It isn't wrong, just less optimal than R_386_RELATIVE. But the x86 kernel fails to properly handle R_386_32 relocations when relocating the kernel. To generate R_386_RELATIVE relocations, we mark _bss, _ebss, _got and _egot as hidden in both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 kernels. To build a 64-bit compressed x86 kernel as PIE, we need to disable the relocation overflow check to avoid relocation overflow errors. We do this with a new linker command-line option, -z noreloc-overflow, which got added recently: commit 4c10bbaa0912742322f10d9d5bb630ba4e15dfa7 Author: H.J. Lu Date: Tue Mar 15 11:07:06 2016 -0700 Add -z noreloc-overflow option to x86-64 ld Add -z noreloc-overflow command-line option to the x86-64 ELF linker to disable relocation overflow check. This can be used to avoid relocation overflow check if there will be no dynamic relocation overflow at run-time. The 64-bit compressed x86 kernel is built as PIE only if the linker supports -z noreloc-overflow. So far 64-bit relocatable compressed x86 kernel boots fine even when it is built as a normal executable. Signed-off-by: H.J.

brcmfmac: avoid potential stack overflow in brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap()

2016-10-20T08:49:57+00:00

commit ded89912156b1a47d940a0c954c43afbabd0c42c upstream. User-space can choose to omit NL80211_ATTR_SSID and only provide raw IE TLV data. When doing so it can provide SSID IE with length exceeding the allowed size. The driver further processes this IE copying it into a local variable without checking the length. Hence stack can be corrupted and used as exploit.

ratelimit: fix bug in time interval by resetting right begin time

2016-10-20T08:49:56+00:00

commit c2594bc37f4464bc74f2c119eb3269a643400aa0 upstream. rs->begin in ratelimit is set in two cases. 1) when rs->begin was not initialized 2) when rs->interval was passed For case #2, current ratelimit sets the begin to 0. This incurrs improper suppression. The begin value will be set in the next ratelimit call by 1). Then the time interval check will be always false, and rs->printed will not be initialized. Although enough time passed, ratelimit may return 0 if rs->printed is not less than rs->burst. To reset interval properly, begin should be jiffies rather than 0. For an example code below: static DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE(mylimit, 1, 1); for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { if (__ratelimit(&mylimit)) printk("ratelimit test count %d\n", i); msleep(3000); } test result in the current code shows suppression even there is 3 seconds sleep.

KVM: MIPS: Drop other CPU ASIDs on guest MMU changes

2016-10-17T07:46:19+00:00

commit 91e4f1b6073dd680d86cdb7e42d7cccca9db39d8 upstream. When a guest TLB entry is replaced by TLBWI or TLBWR, we only invalidate TLB entries on the local CPU. This doesn't work correctly on an SMP host when the guest is migrated to a different physical CPU, as it could pick up stale TLB mappings from the last time the vCPU ran on that physical CPU. Therefore invalidate both user and kernel host ASIDs on other CPUs, which will cause new ASIDs to be generated when it next runs on those CPUs. We're careful only to do this if the TLB entry was already valid, and only for the kernel ASID where the virtual address it mapped is outside of the guest user address range.

KVM: PPC: Book3s PR: Allow access to unprivileged MMCR2 register

2016-10-17T07:46:19+00:00

commit fa73c3b25bd8d0d393dc6109a1dba3c2aef0451e upstream. The MMCR2 register is available twice, one time with number 785 (privileged access), and one time with number 769 (unprivileged, but it can be disabled completely). In former times, the Linux kernel was using the unprivileged register 769 only, but since commit 8dd75ccb571f3c92c ("powerpc: Use privileged SPR number for MMCR2"), it uses the privileged register 785 instead. The KVM-PR code then of course also switched to use the SPR 785, but this is causing older guest kernels to crash, since these kernels still access 769 instead. So to support older kernels with KVM-PR again, we have to support register 769 in KVM-PR, too.
