2017-12-13tcp: pause Fast Open globally after third consecutive timeoutYuchung Cheng1-0/+1
Prior to this patch, active Fast Open is paused on a specific destination IP address if the previous connections to the IP address have experienced recurring timeouts . But recent experiments by Microsoft (https://goo.gl/cykmn7) and Mozilla browsers indicate the isssue is often caused by broken middle-boxes sitting close to the client. Therefore it is much better user experience if Fast Open is disabled out-right globally to avoid experiencing further timeouts on connections toward other destinations. This patch changes the destination-IP disablement to global disablement if a connection experiencing recurring timeouts or aborts due to timeout. Repeated incidents would still exponentially increase the pause time, starting from an hour. This is extremely conservative but an unfortunate compromise to minimize bad experience due to broken middle-boxes.

2017-12-13phylib: Add device reset delay supportRichard Leitner1-0/+10
Some PHYs need a minimum time after the reset gpio was asserted and/or deasserted. To ensure we meet these timing requirements add two new optional devicetree parameters for the phy: reset-delay-us and reset-post-delay-us.

2017-12-12Revert "dt-bindings: mtd: add sst25wf040b and en25s64 to sip-nor list"Cyrille Pitchen1-2/+0
This reverts commit b07815d4eaf658b683c345d6e643895a20d92f29. The reverted commit was merged into v4-15-rc1 by mistake: it was taken from the IMX tree but the patch has never been sent to linux-mtd nor reviewed by any spi-nor maintainers. Actually, it would have been rejected since we add new values for the 'compatible' DT property only for SPI NOR memories that don't support the JEDEC READ ID op code (0x9F). Both en25s64 and sst25wf040b support the JEDEC READ ID op code, hence should use the "jedec,spi-nor" string alone as 'compatible' value.

2017-12-12arm64: Add software workaround for Falkor erratum 1041Shanker Donthineni1-0/+1
The ARM architecture defines the memory locations that are permitted to be accessed as the result of a speculative instruction fetch from an exception level for which all stages of translation are disabled. Specifically, the core is permitted to speculatively fetch from the 4KB region containing the current program counter 4K and next 4K. When translation is changed from enabled to disabled for the running exception level (SCTLR_ELn[M] changed from a value of 1 to 0), the Falkor core may errantly speculatively access memory locations outside of the 4KB region permitted by the architecture. The errant memory access may lead to one of the following unexpected behaviors. 1) A System Error Interrupt (SEI) being raised by the Falkor core due to the errant memory access attempting to access a region of memory that is protected by a slave-side memory protection unit. 2) Unpredictable device behavior due to a speculative read from device memory. This behavior may only occur if the instruction cache is disabled prior to or coincident with translation being changed from enabled to disabled. The conditions leading to this erratum will not occur when either of the following occur: 1) A higher exception level disables translation of a lower exception level (e.g. EL2 changing SCTLR_EL1[M] from a value of 1 to 0). 2) An exception level disabling its stage-1 translation if its stage-2 translation is enabled (e.g. EL1 changing SCTLR_EL1[M] from a value of 1 to 0 when HCR_EL2[VM] has a value of 1). To avoid the errant behavior, software must execute an ISB immediately prior to executing the MSR that will change SCTLR_ELn[M] from 1 to 0.

2017-12-12locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checksIngo Molnar1-874/+0
This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y), while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably a worse overall outcome. If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity. Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's a marked difference between annotating locking operations and uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ... This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already, so we cannot risk this outcome. Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives, or it should not be included in the upstream kernel. ( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were introduced. ) Cc: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2017-12-11ovl: don't follow redirects if redirect_dir=offMiklos Szeredi1-0/+34
Overlayfs is following redirects even when redirects are disabled. If this is unintentional (probably the majority of cases) then this can be a problem. E.g. upper layer comes from untrusted USB drive, and attacker crafts a redirect to enable read access to otherwise unreadable directories. If "redirect_dir=off", then turn off following as well as creation of redirects. If "redirect_dir=follow", then turn on following, but turn off creation of redirects (which is what "redirect_dir=off" does now). This is a backward incompatible change, so make it dependent on a config option. Reported-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2017-12-05phylib: Add device reset GPIO supportSergei Shtylyov1-0/+2
The PHY devices sometimes do have their reset signal (maybe even power supply?) tied to some GPIO and sometimes it also does happen that a boot loader does not leave it deasserted. So far this issue has been attacked from (as I believe) a wrong angle: by teaching the MAC driver to manipulate the GPIO in question; that solution, when applied to the device trees, led to adding the PHY reset GPIO properties to the MAC device node, with one exception: Cadence MACB driver which could handle the "reset-gpios" prop in a PHY device subnode. I believe that the correct approach is to teach the 'phylib' to get the MDIO device reset GPIO from the device tree node corresponding to this device -- which this patch is doing... Note that I had to modify the AT803x PHY driver as it would stop working otherwise -- it made use of the reset GPIO for its own purposes...

2017-12-01Documentation: can: flexcan: Add big-endian property to device treePankaj Bansal1-0/+6
The FlexCAN controller can be modelled as little or big endian depending on SOC design. This device tree property identifies the controller endianness and the driver reads/writes controller registers based on that. This is optional property. i.e. if this property is not present in device tree node then controller is assumed to be little endian. if this property is present then controller is assumed to be big endian.

2017-12-01hwmon: (jc42) optionally try to disable the SMBUS timeoutPeter Rosin1-0/+4
With a nxp,se97 chip on an atmel sama5d31 board, the I2C adapter driver is not always capable of avoiding the 25-35 ms timeout as specified by the SMBUS protocol. This may cause silent corruption of the last bit of any transfer, e.g. a one is read instead of a zero if the sensor chip times out. This also affects the eeprom half of the nxp-se97 chip, where this silent corruption was originally noticed. Other I2C adapters probably suffer similar issues, e.g. bit-banging comes to mind as risky... The SMBUS register in the nxp chip is not a standard Jedec register, but it is not special to the nxp chips either, at least the atmel chips have the same mechanism. Therefore, do not special case this on the manufacturer, it is opt-in via the device property anyway.

The problem is that both thresh and bg_thresh will be 0 if available_memory is less than 4 pages when evaluating global_dirtyable_memory. While this might be worked around the whole point of the warning is dubious at best. We do rely on admins to do sensible things when changing tunable knobs. Dirty memory writeback knobs are not any special in that regards so revert the warning rather than adding more hacks to work this around. Debugged by Yafang Shao.

2017-11-29vsprintf: add printk specifier %pxTobin C. Harding1-1/+17
printk specifier %p now hashes all addresses before printing. Sometimes we need to see the actual unmodified address. This can be achieved using %lx but then we face the risk that if in future we want to change the way the Kernel handles printing of pointers we will have to grep through the already existent 50 000 %lx call sites. Let's add specifier %px as a clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel. Add printk specifier %px to print the actual unmodified address. Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding <me@tobin.cc>
2017-11-29printk: hash addresses printed with %pTobin C. Harding1-1/+11
Currently there exist approximately 14 000 places in the kernel where addresses are being printed using an unadorned %p. This potentially leaks sensitive information regarding the Kernel layout in memory. Many of these calls are stale, instead of fixing every call lets hash the address by default before printing. This will of course break some users, forcing code printing needed addresses to be updated. Code that _really_ needs the address will soon be able to use the new printk specifier %px to print the address. For what it's worth, usage of unadorned %p can be broken down as follows (thanks to Joe Perches). $ git grep -E '%p[^A-Za-z0-9]' | cut -f1 -d"/" | sort | uniq -c 1084 arch 20 block 10 crypto 32 Documentation 8121 drivers 1221 fs 143 include 101 kernel 69 lib 100 mm 1510 net 40 samples 7 scripts 11 security 166 sound 152 tools 2 virt Add function ptr_to_id() to map an address to a 32 bit unique identifier.
