mm: kmemleak: avoid false negatives on vmalloc'ed objects

2014-07-31T19:54:53+00:00

commit 7f88f88f83ed609650a01b18572e605ea50cd163 upstream. Commit 248ac0e1943a ("mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap blocks") had the side effect of making vmap_area.va_end member point to the next vmap_area.va_start. This was creating an artificial reference to vmalloc'ed objects and kmemleak was rarely reporting vmalloc() leaks. This patch marks the vmap_area containing pointers explicitly and reduces the min ref_count to 2 as vm_struct still contains a reference to the vmalloc'ed object. The kmemleak add_scan_area() function has been improved to allow a SIZE_MAX argument covering the rest of the object (for simpler calling sites).

introduce SIZE_MAX

2014-07-31T19:54:53+00:00

commit a3860c1c5dd1137db23d7786d284939c5761d517 upstream. ULONG_MAX is often used to check for integer overflow when calculating allocation size. While ULONG_MAX happens to work on most systems, there is no guarantee that `size_t' must be the same size as `long'. This patch introduces SIZE_MAX, the maximum value of `size_t', to improve portability and readability for allocation size validation.

s390/ptrace: fix PSW mask check

2014-07-31T19:54:53+00:00

commit dab6cf55f81a6e16b8147aed9a843e1691dcd318 upstream. The PSW mask check of the PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA command is incorrect. The PSW_MASK_USER define contains the PSW_MASK_ASC bits, the ptrace interface accepts all combinations for the address-space-control bits. To protect the kernel space the PSW mask check in ptrace needs to reject the address-space-control bit combination for home space.

Fix gcc-4.9.0 miscompilation of load_balance() in scheduler

2014-07-31T19:54:52+00:00

commit 2062afb4f804afef61cbe62a30cac9a46e58e067 upstream. Michel Dänzer and a couple of other people reported inexplicable random oopses in the scheduler, and the cause turns out to be gcc mis-compiling the load_balance() function when debugging is enabled. The gcc bug apparently goes back to gcc-4.5, but slight optimization changes means that it now showed up as a problem in 4.9.0 and 4.9.1. The instruction scheduling problem causes gcc to schedule a spill operation to before the stack frame has been created, which in turn can corrupt the spilled value if an interrupt comes in. There may be other effects of this bug too, but that's the code generation problem seen in Michel's case. This is fixed in current gcc HEAD, but the workaround as suggested by Markus Trippelsdorf is pretty simple: use -fno-var-tracking-assignments when compiling the kernel, which disables the gcc code that causes the problem. This can result in slightly worse debug information for variable accesses, but that is infinitely preferable to actual code generation problems. Doing this unconditionally (not just for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO) also allows non-debug builds to verify that the debug build would be identical: we can do export GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1 to make gcc internally verify that the result of the build is independent of the "-g" flag (it will make the compiler build everything twice, toggling the debug flag, and compare the results). Without the "-fno-var-tracking-assignments" option, the build would fail (even with 4.8.3 that didn't show the actual stack frame bug) with a gcc compare failure.

mm: hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range()

2014-07-31T19:54:52+00:00

commit 0253d634e0803a8376a0d88efee0bf523d8673f9 upstream. Commit 4a705fef9862 ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle migration/hwpoisoned entry") changed the order of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() and huge_ptep_get(), which leads to breakage in some workloads like hugepage-backed heap allocation via libhugetlbfs. This patch fixes it. The test program for the problem is shown below: $ cat heap.c #include #include #include #define HPS 0x200000 int main() { int i; char *p = malloc(HPS); memset(p, '1', HPS); for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) { if (!fork()) { memset(p, '2', HPS); p = malloc(HPS); memset(p, '3', HPS); free(p); return 0; } } sleep(1); free(p); return 0; } $ export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes ; export HUGETLB_NO_PREFAULT= ; hugectl --heap ./heap Fixes 4a705fef9862 ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle migration/hwpoisoned entry"), so is applicable to -stable kernels which include it.

x86_32, entry: Store badsys error code in %eax

2014-07-31T19:54:52+00:00

commit 8142b215501f8b291a108a202b3a053a265b03dd upstream. Commit 554086d ("x86_32, entry: Do syscall exit work on badsys (CVE-2014-4508)") introduced a regression in the x86_32 syscall entry code, resulting in syscall() not returning proper errors for undefined syscalls on CPUs supporting the sysenter feature. The following code: > int result = syscall(666); > printf("result=%d errno=%d error=%s\n", result, errno, strerror(errno)); results in: > result=666 errno=0 error=Success Obviously, the syscall return value is the called syscall number, but it should have been an ENOSYS error. When run under ptrace it behaves correctly, which makes it hard to debug in the wild: > result=-1 errno=38 error=Function not implemented The %eax register is the return value register. For debugging via ptrace the syscall entry code stores the complete register context on the stack. The badsys handlers only store the ENOSYS error code in the ptrace register set and do not set %eax like a regular syscall handler would. The old resume_userspace call chain contains code that clobbers %eax and it restores %eax from the ptrace registers afterwards. The same goes for the ptrace-enabled call chain. When ptrace is not used, the syscall return value is the passed-in syscall number from the untouched %eax register. Use %eax as the return value register in syscall_badsys and sysenter_badsys, like a real syscall handler does, and have the caller push the value onto the stack for ptrace access.

ahci: add support for the Promise FastTrak TX8660 SATA HBA (ahci mode)

commit b32bfc06aefab61acc872dec3222624e6cd867ed upstream. Add support of the Promise FastTrak TX8660 SATA HBA in ahci mode by registering the board in the ahci_pci_tbl[].

libata: introduce ata_host->n_tags to avoid oops on SAS controllers

2014-07-31T19:54:51+00:00

commit 1a112d10f03e83fb3a2fdc4c9165865dec8a3ca6 upstream. 1871ee134b73 ("libata: support the ata host which implements a queue depth less than 32") directly used ata_port->scsi_host->can_queue from ata_qc_new() to determine the number of tags supported by the host; unfortunately, SAS controllers doing SATA don't initialize ->scsi_host leading to the following oops.

libata: support the ata host which implements a queue depth less than 32

2014-07-31T19:54:51+00:00

commit 1871ee134b73fb4cadab75752a7152ed2813c751 upstream. The sata on fsl mpc8315e is broken after the commit 8a4aeec8d2d6 ("libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered controllers"). The reason is that the ata controller on this SoC only implement a queue depth of 16. When issuing the commands in tag order, all the commands in tag 16 ~ 31 are mapped to tag 0 unconditionally and then causes the sata malfunction. It makes no senses to use a 32 queue in software while the hardware has less queue depth. So consider the queue depth implemented by the hardware when requesting a command tag.
