sgi-xp: incoming XPC channel messages can come in after the channel's partition structures have been torn down commit 09358972 upstream. Under some workloads, some channel messages have been observed being delayed on the sending side past the point where the receiving side has been able to tear down its partition structures. This condition is already detected in xpc_handle_activate_IRQ_uv(), but that information is not given to xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv(). As a result, xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv() assumes the structures still exist and references them, causing a NULL-pointer deref.

commit f63ae56e upstream. gdth_ioctl_alloc() takes the size variable as an int. copy_from_user() takes the size variable as an unsigned long. gen.data_len and gen.sense_len are unsigned longs. On x86_64 longs are 64 bit and ints are 32 bit. We could pass in a very large number and the allocation would truncate the size to 32 bits and allocate a small buffer. Then when we do the copy_from_user(), it would result in a memory corruption.

commit 1a03ae0f upstream. Following a site power outage which re-enabled all the ports on my FC switches, my system subsequently booted with far too many luns! I had let it run hoping it would make multi-user. It didn't. :( It hung solid after exhausting the last sd device, sdzzz, and attempting to create sdaaaa and beyond. I was unable to get a dump. Discovered using a 2.6.32.13 based system. correct this by detecting when the last index is utilized and failing the sd probe of the device. Patch applies to scsi-misc-2.6.

commit 56626a72 upstream. A few devices (such as the RCA VR5220 voice recorder) are so non-compliant with the USB spec that they have invalid maxpacket sizes for endpoint 0. Nevertheless, as long as we can safely use them, we may as well do so. This patch (as1432) softens our acceptance criterion by allowing high-speed devices to have ep0-maxpacket sizes other than 64. A warning is printed in the system log when this happens, and the existing error message is clarified.

commit 80f0cf39 upstream. This patch (as1430) fixes a bug in usbcore. When a device configuration change occurs or a device is removed, the endpoints for the old config should be completely disabled. However it turns out they aren't; this is because usb_unbind_interface() calls usb_enable_interface() or usb_set_interface() to put interfaces back in altsetting 0, which re-enables the interfaces' endpoints. As a result, when a device goes through a config change or is unconfigured, the ep_in[] and ep_out[] arrays may be left holding old pointers to usb_host_endpoint structures. If the device is deauthorized these structures get freed, and the stale pointers cause errors when the the device is eventually unplugged. The solution is to disable the endpoints after unbinding the interfaces instead of before. This isn't as large a change as it sounds, since usb_unbind_interface() disables all the interface's endpoints anyway before calling the driver's disconnect routine, unless the driver claims to support "soft" unbind. This fixes Bugzilla #19192. Thanks to "Tom" Lei Ming for diagnosing the underlying cause of the problem.

In no-direct mapping, we mark sp is 'direct' when we mapping the guest's larger page, but its access is encoded form upper page-struct entire not include the last mapping, it will cause access conflict. For example, have this mapping: [W] / PDE1 -> |---| P[W] | | LPA \ PDE2 -> |---| [R] P have two children, PDE1 and PDE2, both PDE1 and PDE2 mapping the same lage page(LPA). The P's access is WR, PDE1's access is WR, PDE2's access is RO(just consider read-write permissions here) When guest access PDE1, we will create a direct sp for LPA, the sp's access is from P, is W, then we will mark the ptes is W in this sp. Then, guest access PDE2, we will find LPA's shadow page, is the same as PDE's, and mark the ptes is RO. So, if guest access PDE1, the incorrect #PF is occured.

commit 75e3cfbe upstream. Currently the redirection hint in the interrupt-remapping table entry is set to 0, which means the remapped interrupt is directed to the processors listed in the destination. So in logical flat mode in the presence of intr-remapping, this results in a single interrupt multi-casted to multiple cpu's as specified by the destination bit mask. But what we really want is to send that interrupt to one of the cpus based on the lowest priority delivery mode. Set the redirection hint in the IRTE to '1' to indicate that we want the remapped interrupt to be directed to only one of the processors listed in the destination. This fixes the issue of same interrupt getting delivered to multiple cpu's in the logical flat mode in the presence of interrupt-remapping. While there is no functional issue observed with this behavior, this will impact performance of such configurations (<=8 cpu's using logical flat mode in the presence of interrupt-remapping) Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <20100827181049.013051492@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com> Cc: Weidong Han <weidong.han@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.

This is required specifically for the kexec case where we should wait for all the cpus to be stopped before starting the new kernel. We now wait for the cpus to stop in all cases except for panic/kdump where we expect things to be broken and we are doing our best to make things work anyway.

commit 7ef8aa72 upstream. The AMD SSE5 feature set as-it has been replaced by some extensions to the AVX instruction set. Thus the bit formerly advertised as SSE5 is re-used for one of these extensions (XOP). Although this changes the /proc/cpuinfo output, it is not user visible, as there are no CPUs (yet) having this feature. To avoid confusion this should be added to the stable series, too.

commit 3ee48b6a upstream. During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next() is chewing up most of that time). This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()). With this patch we have seen the time for writing a 250MB compressed dump drop from 71 seconds to 44 seconds.

commit 7ada876a upstream. futex_wait() is leaking key references due to futex_wait_setup() acquiring an additional reference via the queue_lock() routine. The nested key ref-counting has been masking bugs and complicating code analysis. queue_lock() is only called with a previously ref-counted key, so remove the additional ref-counting from the queue_(un)lock() functions. Also futex_wait_requeue_pi() drops one key reference too many in unqueue_me_pi(). Remove the key reference handling from unqueue_me_pi(). This was paired with a queue_lock() in futex_lock_pi(), so the count remains unchanged. Document remaining nested key ref-counting sites.
