exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth

2013-03-28T19:12:28+00:00

commit d740269867021faf4ce38a449353d2b986c34a67 upstream. To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back up the chain, aborting immediately. This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the dash source: if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) { *argv-- = cmd; *argv = cmd = path_bshell; goto repeat; } The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC, things continue to behave as the shell expects. Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible for tracking the depth.

inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists

2013-03-28T19:11:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5a3da1fe9561828d0ca7eca664b16ec2b9bf0055 ] This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu. If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed. This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish between the different users of inet_fragment.c. I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path, because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

tcp: fix skb_availroom()

[ Upstream commit 16fad69cfe4adbbfa813de516757b87bcae36d93 ] Chrome OS team reported a crash on a Pixel ChromeBook in TCP stack : https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=182056 commit a21d45726acac (tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx path) did a poor choice adding an 'avail_size' field to skb, while what we really needed was a 'reserved_tailroom' one. It would have avoided commit 22b4a4f22da (tcp: fix retransmit of partially acked frames) and this commit.

atmel_lcdfb: fix 16-bpp modes on older SOCs

Fix regression introduced by commit 787f9fd23283 ("atmel_lcdfb: support 16bit BGR:565 mode, remove unsupported 15bit modes") which broke 16-bpp modes for older SOCs which use IBGR:555 (msb is intensity) rather than BGR:565. Use SOC-type to determine the pixel layout. Tested on at91sam9263 and at91sam9g45.

perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume

2013-03-20T20:04:59+00:00

commit 1d9d8639c063caf6efc2447f5f26aa637f844ff6 upstream. This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart path

2013-03-03T22:06:43+00:00

commit 9f244e9cfd70c7c0f82d3c92ce772ab2a92d9f64 upstream. [Issue] When pstore is in panic and emergency-restart paths, it may be blocked in those paths because it simply takes spin_lock. This is an example scenario which pstore may hang up in a panic path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock - cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop - smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA - after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead - cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding buf_lock - cpuB is deadlocked This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and cpuA is stuck talking with it more than one second. Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware - cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer. And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again. [Solution] This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu can be blocked in current path. With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave to spin_trylock_irqsave. In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c, spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid deadlock. This patch fits the comment below. /** * emergency_restart - reboot the system * * Without shutting down any hardware or taking any locks * reboot the system. This is called when we know we are in * trouble so this is our best effort to reboot. This is * safe to call in interrupt context. */ void emergency_restart(void) Signed-off-by: Seiji Aguchi Acked-by: Don Zickus Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Cc: CAI Qian Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

unbreak automounter support on 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace (v2)

2013-03-03T22:06:43+00:00

commit 4f4ffc3a5398ef9bdbb32db04756d7d34e356fcf upstream. automount-support is broken on the parisc architecture, because the existing #if list does not include a check for defined(__hppa__). The HPPA (parisc) architecture is similiar to other 64bit Linux targets where we have to define autofs_wqt_t (which is passed back and forth to user space) as int type which has a size of 32bit across 32 and 64bit kernels. During the discussion on the mailing list, H. Peter Anvin suggested to invert the #if list since only specific platforms (specifically those who do not have a 32bit userspace, like IA64 and Alpha) should have autofs_wqt_t as unsigned long type. This suggestion is probably the best way to go, since Arm64 (and maybe others?) seems to have a non-working automounter. So in the long run even for other new upcoming architectures this inverted check seem to be the best solution, since it will not require them to change this #if again (unless they are 64bit only).
