char: lp: fix possible integer overflow in lp_setup()

2017-05-16T21:05:20+00:00

The lp_setup() code doesn't apply any bounds checking when passing "lp=none", and only in this case, resulting in an overflow of the parport_nr[] array. All versions in Git history are affected.

Replace with globally

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al: PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*' sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \ $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h) to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

char: Int overflow in lp_do_ioctl().

Char: lp, protect LPGETSTATUS with port_mutex

2013-05-17T01:08:58+00:00

The patch fixes a problem in the lp driver that can cause oopses as follows: process A: calls lp_write, which in turn calls parport_ieee1284_write_compat, and that invokes parport_wait_peripheral process B: meanwhile does an ioctl(LPGETSTATUS), which call lp_release_parport when done. This function will set physport->cad = NULL. process A: parport_wait_peripheral tries to dereference physport->cad and dies So, protect that code with the port_mutex in order to protect against simultaneous calls to lp_read/lp_write. Similar protection is probably required for ioctl(LPRESET)... This patch was done by IBM a while back and we (at suse) have that since at least 2004 in our repos. Let's make it upstream.

Merge branch 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar: "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86: 32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel syscalls. This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc." Fix up trivial context conflicts in arch/x86/{Kconfig,vdso/vma.c} * 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (71 commits) x32: Fix alignment fail in struct compat_siginfo x32: Fix stupid ia32/x32 inversion in the siginfo format x32: Add ptrace for x32 x32: Switch to a 64-bit clock_t x32: Provide separate is_ia32_task() and is_x32_task() predicates x86, mtrr: Use explicit sizing and padding for the 64-bit ioctls x86/x32: Fix the binutils auto-detect x32: Warn and disable rather than error if binutils too old x32: Only clear TIF_X32 flag once x32: Make sure TS_COMPAT is cleared for x32 tasks fs: Remove missed ->fds_bits from cessation use of fd_set structs internally fs: Fix close_on_exec pointer in alloc_fdtable x32: Drop non-__vdso weak symbols from the x32 VDSO x32: Fix coding style violations in the x32 VDSO code x32: Add x32 VDSO support x32: Allow x32 to be configured x32: If configured, add x32 system calls to system call tables x32: Handle process creation x32: Signal-related system calls x86: Add #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT to ...

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers & misc)

2012-01-12T23:02:20+00:00

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
