signal: remove warning about using SI_TKILL in rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo

2016-07-21T06:36:13Z

commit 69828dce7af2cb6d08ef5a03de687d422fb7ec1f upstream. Sending SI_TKILL from rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo was deprecated, so now we issue a warning on the first attempt of doing it. We use WARN_ON_ONCE, which is not informative and, what is worse, taints the kernel, making the trinity syscall fuzzer complain false-positively from time to time. It does not look like we need this warning at all, because the behaviour changed quite a long time ago (2.6.39), and if an application relies on the old API, it gets EPERM anyway and can issue a warning by itself. So let us zap the warning in kernel. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Davydov Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Richard Weinberger Cc: "Paul E.

MIPS: KVM: Fix modular KVM under QEMU

2016-07-21T06:36:12Z

commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 upstream. Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module. This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable, but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they are marked global. An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user (guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address error exceptions.

cdc_ncm: workaround for EM7455 "silent" data interface

2016-07-21T06:36:12Z

[ Upstream commit c086e7096170390594c425114d98172bc9aceb8a ] Several Lenovo users have reported problems with their Sierra Wireless EM7455 modem. The driver has loaded successfully and the MBIM management channel has appeared to work, including establishing a connection to the mobile network. But no frames have been received over the data interface. The problem affects all EM7455 and MC7455, and is assumed to affect other modems based on the same Qualcomm chipset and baseband firmware. Testing narrowed the problem down to what seems to be a firmware timing bug during initialization. Adding a short sleep while probing is sufficient to make the problem disappear. Experiments have shown that 1-2 ms is too little to have any effect, while 10-20 ms is enough to reliably succeed.

HID: elo: kill not flush the work

commit ed596a4a88bd161f868ccba078557ee7ede8a6ef upstream. Flushing a work that reschedules itself is not a sensible operation. It needs to be killed.

ALSA: compress: fix an integer overflow check

2016-07-21T06:36:11Z

commit 6217e5ede23285ddfee10d2e4ba0cc2d4c046205 upstream. I previously added an integer overflow check here but looking at it now, it's still buggy. The bug happens in snd_compr_allocate_buffer(). We multiply ".fragments" and ".fragment_size" and that doesn't overflow but then we save it in an unsigned int so it truncates the high bits away and we allocate a smaller than expected size.

HID: hiddev: validate num_values for HIDIOCGUSAGES, HIDIOCSUSAGES commands

2016-07-21T06:36:10Z

commit 93a2001bdfd5376c3dc2158653034c20392d15c5 upstream. This patch validates the num_values parameter from userland during the HIDIOCGUSAGES and HIDIOCSUSAGES commands. Previously, if the report id was set to HID_REPORT_ID_UNKNOWN, we would fail to validate the num_values parameter leading to a heap overflow.

mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page arrival

2016-07-21T06:36:10Z

commit 8f182270dfec432e93fae14f9208a6b9af01009f upstream. Currently we can have compound pages held on per cpu pagevecs, which leads to a lot of memory unavailable for reclaim when needed. In the systems with hundreads of processors it can be GBs of memory. On of the way of reproducing the problem is to not call munmap explicitly on all mapped regions (i.e. after receiving SIGTERM). After that some pages (with THP enabled also huge pages) may end up on lru_add_pvec, example below. void main() { #pragma omp parallel { size_t size = 55 * 1000 * 1000; // smaller than MEM/CPUS void *p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS , -1, 0); if (p != MAP_FAILED) memset(p, 0, size); //munmap(p, size); // uncomment to make the problem go away } } When we run it with THP enabled it will leave significant amount of memory on lru_add_pvec. This memory will be not reclaimed if we hit OOM, so when we run above program in a loop: for i in `seq 100`; do ./a.out; done many processes (95% in my case) will be killed by OOM. The primary point of the LRU add cache is to save the zone lru_lock contention with a hope that more pages will belong to the same zone and so their addition can be batched. The huge page is already a form of batched addition (it will add 512 worth of memory in one go) so skipping the batching seems like a safer option when compared to a potential excess in the caching which can be quite large and much harder to fix because lru_add_drain_all is way to expensive and it is not really clear what would be a good moment to call it. Similarly we can reproduce the problem on lru_deactivate_pvec by adding: madvise(p, size, MADV_FREE); after memset. This patch flushes lru pvecs on compound page arrival making the problem less severe - after applying it kill rate of above example drops to 0%, due to reducing maximum amount of memory held on pvec from 28MB (with THP) to 56kB per CPU.

base: make module_create_drivers_dir race-free

2016-07-21T06:36:09Z

commit 7e1b1fc4dabd6ec8e28baa0708866e13fa93c9b3 upstream. Modules which register drivers via standard path (driver_register) in parallel can cause a warning: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3492 at ../fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/saa7146/drivers' Modules linked in: hexium_gemini(+) mxb(+) ... ...

As can be (mostly) seen, driver_register causes this call sequence: -> bus_add_driver -> module_add_driver -> module_create_drivers_dir The last one creates "drivers" directory in /sys/module/<...>. When this is done in parallel, the directory is attempted to be created twice at the same time. This can be easily reproduced by loading mxb and hexium_gemini in parallel: while :; do modprobe mxb & modprobe hexium_gemini wait rmmod mxb hexium_gemini saa7146_vv saa7146 done saa7146 calls pci_register_driver for both mxb and hexium_gemini, which means /sys/module/saa7146/drivers is to be created for both of them. Fix this by a new mutex in module_create_drivers_dir which makes the test-and-create "drivers" dir atomic. I inverted the condition and removed 'return' to avoid multiple unlocks or a goto.
