The lockless reclaim hierarchy iterator currently has a misplaced
barrier that can lead to use-after-free crashes.
The reclaim hierarchy iterator consist of a sequence count and a
position pointer that are read and written locklessly, with memory
barriers enforcing ordering.
The write side sets the position pointer first, then updates the
sequence count to "publish" the new position. Likewise, the read side
must read the sequence count first, then the position. If the sequence
count is up to date, it's guaranteed that the position is up to date as
well:
writer: reader:
iter->position = position if iter->sequence == expected:
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
iter->sequence = sequence position = iter->position
However, the read side barrier is currently misplaced, which can lead to
dereferencing stale position pointers that no longer point to valid
memory. Fix this.

The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required
numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. And the
bitmap must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is
not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.
This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map. The
incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because frontswap_map
is freed just after zeroing. But the wrongly calculated allocation size
may cause the problem.
For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice
as large as required size. For 64bit systems, the allocation size is
smaller than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of
BITS_PER_LONG.

audit_add_tree_rule() must set 'rule->tree = NULL;' firstly, to protect
the rule itself freed in kill_rules().
The reason is when it is killed, the 'rule' itself may have already
released, we should not access it. one example: we add a rule to an
inode, just at the same time the other task is deleting this inode.
The work flow for adding a rule:
audit_receive() -> (need audit_cmd_mutex lock)
audit_receive_skb() ->
audit_receive_msg() ->
audit_receive_filter() ->
audit_add_rule() ->
audit_add_tree_rule() -> (need audit_filter_mutex lock)

When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage
under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on
hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try
to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally
experience long delay or soft lockup.
This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry
or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces
migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

The watermark check consists of two sub-checks. The first one is:
if (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve)
return false;
The check assures that there is minimal amount of RAM in the zone. If
CMA is used then the free_pages is reduced by the number of free pages
in CMA prior to the over-mentioned check.
if (!(alloc_flags & ALLOC_CMA))
free_pages -= zone_page_state(z, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES);
This prevents the zone from being drained from pages available for
non-movable allocations.
The second check prevents the zone from getting too fragmented.
for (o = 0; o < order; o++) {
free_pages -= z->free_area[o].nr_free << o;
min >>= 1;
if (free_pages <= min)
return false;
}
The field z->free_area[o].nr_free is equal to the number of free pages
including free CMA pages. Therefore the CMA pages are subtracted twice.
This may cause a false positive fail of __zone_watermark_ok() if the CMA
area gets strongly fragmented. In such a case there are many 0-order
free pages located in CMA. Those pages are subtracted twice therefore
they will quickly drain free_pages during the check against
fragmentation. The test fails even though there are many free non-cma
pages in the zone.
This patch fixes this issue by subtracting CMA pages only for a purpose of
(free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) check.
Laura said:
We were observing allocation failures of higher order pages (order 5 =
128K typically) under tight memory conditions resulting in driver
failure. The output from the page allocation failure showed plenty of
free pages of the appropriate order/type/zone and mostly CMA pages in
the lower orders.
For full disclosure, we still observed some page allocation failures
even after applying the patch but the number was drastically reduced and
those failures were attributed to fragmentation/other system issues.

There was a regression introduced by 36f5588905 ("aio: refcounting
cleanup"), reported by Jens Axboe - the refcounting cleanup switched to
using RCU in the shutdown path, but the synchronize_rcu() was done in
the context of the io_destroy() syscall greatly increasing the time it
could block.
This patch switches it to call_rcu() and makes shutdown asynchronous
(more asynchronous than it was originally; before the refcount changes
io_destroy() would still wait on pending kiocbs).
Note that there's a global quota on the max outstanding kiocbs, and that
quota must be manipulated synchronously; otherwise io_setup() could
return -EAGAIN when there isn't quota available, and userspace won't
have any way of waiting until shutdown of the old kioctxs has finished
(besides busy looping).
So we release our quota before kioctx shutdown has finished, which
should be fine since the quota never corresponded to anything real
anyways.

Note that some care needs to be taken to make sure the shadow mask

issue for the non-broken SoCs due to the relatively infrequent
interrupt-mask updates. We do, however, only use the shadow mask value
as a fall-back when it actually needed as there is still a theoretical

The members of Atmel's at91sam9x5 family (9x5) have a broken RTC
interrupt mask register (AT91_RTC_IMR). It does not reflect enabled
interrupts but instead always returns zero.
The kernel's rtc-at91rm9200 driver handles the RTC for the 9x5 family.
Currently when the date/time is set, an interrupt is generated and this
driver neglects to handle the interrupt. The kernel complains about the
un-handled interrupt and disables it henceforth. This not only breaks
the RTC function, but since that interrupt is shared (Atmel's SYS
interrupt) then other things break as well (e.g. the debug port no
longer accepts characters).
Tested on the at91sam9g25. Bug confirmed by Atmel.
This patch (of 5):
Add missing match-table compile guard.

read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble
across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought
into the swapcache yet.
This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the
actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O
completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop
around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is
scheduled away at scan_swap_map(). This can leave the system deadlocked
if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where
read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT.
This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned
read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary,
thus avoiding the subtle race window.

When booted in legacy mode device_init_wakeup() gets called by
drivers/mfd/twl-core.c when the children are initialized. However, when
booted using device tree, the children are created with
of_platform_populate() instead add_children().
This means that the RTC driver will not have device_init_wakeup() set,
and we need to call it from the driver probe like RTC drivers typically
do.
Without this we cannot test PM wake-up events on omaps for cases where
there may not be any physical wake-up event.

Allowing the cmos interrupt handler to run before resuming caused some

other, later timers to not be cleared, so utilities such as hwclock

The dmesg_restrict sysctl currently covers the syslog method for access
dmesg, however /dev/kmsg isn't covered by the same protections. Most
people haven't noticed because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the
syslog method for access in older versions. With util-linux dmesg(1)
defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg.
To fix /dev/kmsg, let's compare the existing interfaces and what they
allow:
- /proc/kmsg allows:
- open (SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN) if CAP_SYSLOG since it uses a destructive
single-reader interface (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ).
- everything, after an open.
- syslog syscall allows:
- anything, if CAP_SYSLOG.
- SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL and SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_BUFFER, if
dmesg_restrict==0.
- nothing else (EPERM).
The use-cases were:
- dmesg(1) needs to do non-destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALLs.
- sysklog(1) needs to open /proc/kmsg, drop privs, and still issue the
destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READs.
AIUI, dmesg(1) is moving to /dev/kmsg, and systemd-journald doesn't
clear the ring buffer.
Based on the comments in devkmsg_llseek, it sounds like actions besides
reading aren't going to be supported by /dev/kmsg (i.e.
SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR), so we have a strict subset of the non-destructive
syslog syscall actions.
To this end, move the check as Josh had done, but also rename the
constants to reflect their new uses (SYSLOG_FROM_CALL becomes
SYSLOG_FROM_READER, and SYSLOG_FROM_FILE becomes SYSLOG_FROM_PROC).
SYSLOG_FROM_READER allows non-destructive actions, and SYSLOG_FROM_PROC
allows destructive actions after a capabilities-constrained
SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN check.
- /dev/kmsg allows:
- open if CAP_SYSLOG or dmesg_restrict==0
- reading/polling, after open

minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit
f96972f2dc ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in
kernel_restart()").
The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus
before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the
boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot.
This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter
for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied
from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the

There are instances in the kernel where we would like to disable CPU
hotplug (from sysfs) during some important operation. Today the freezer
code depends on this and the code to do it was kinda tailor-made for
that.
Restructure the code and make it generic enough to be useful for other
usecases too.

The __vvar_page relocation should actually be listed in S_REL instead
of S_ABS. Oddly, this didn't always cause things to break, presumably
because there are no users for relocation information on 64 bits yet.

John W. Linville says:
====================
For now I have dropped the mac80211 tree from this request.
We are developing a little backlog of fixes and I would like to
avoid introducing any more uncertainty to this pull request for the
3.10 stream. All the other bits are the same as what was in the
2013-06-06 request, including the ath9k fixes intended to address
the problems observed by Linus w/ his Pixel, and a CVE fix for a
potential security issue in the b43 driver.
Regarding the wl12xx bits, Luca says:
"Here are three patches that I'd like to get into 3.10. Two of them, by
me, are related to the firmware version checks in our driver. Without
them, the firmwares fail to load. The other one, by Eliad, fixes a typo
bug in our 5GHz scanning code."
And as for the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"The following patches are important bug fixes for 3.10, plus the
support for a new device. We do have three fixes from Johan. The first
one is a fix to avoid LE-only devices to rely on the (inexistent)
extended features data. The second patch fixes length checks on
incoming L2CAP signalling PDUs so we can discard PDU whose size
doesn't match the one reported in the header. The last one fixes
the handling of power on failures, we now report proper errors to
mgmt when hci_dev_open()."
Along with that...
Larry Finger corrects an rtlwifi problem that caused some devices to
refuse to connect to non-WPA2 networks if the device had previously
assocated with a WPA2 network. He also adds a one-line fix to prevent
false reports from kmemleak.
Mark A. Greer fixes an out of bounds array access in mwifiex.
Felix Fietkau reverts an earlier ath9k initval patch that reduced rx
sensitivity in a number of ath9k devices with no corresponding benefit.
Kees Cook fixes a potential uid-0 to ring-0 escalation in b43
(CVE-2013-2852).
Sujith Manoharan turns-off powersave mode by default for ath9k, and
also defaults ath9k to use the minstrel_ht rate control algorithm.
Both of these are believed to contribute to greater stability/usability
of ath9k in real-world situations.

The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered,
and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates
ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err()
parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware,
this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation.

The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.
An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191
Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.

Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.

If hci_dev_open fails we need to ensure that the corresponding
mgmt_set_powered command gets an appropriate response. This patch fixes
the missing response by adding a new mgmt_set_powered_failed function
that's used to indicate a power on failure to mgmt. Since a situation
with the device being rfkilled may require special handling in user
space the patch uses a new dedicated mgmt status code for this.

mt_free_input_name() was never called during .remove():
hid_hw_stop() removes the hid_input items in hdev->inputs, and so the
list is therefore empty after the call. In the end, we never free the
special names that has been allocated during .probe().
Restore the original name before freeing it to avoid acessing already
freed pointer.
