commit b50c259e25d9260b9108dc0c2964c26e5ecbe1c1 upstream.

If we discover a bad block when reading we split the request and
potentially read some of it from a different device.

The code path of this has two bugs in RAID10.
1/ we get a spin_lock with _irq, but unlock without _irq!!
2/ The calculation of 'sectors_handled' is wrong, as can be clearly
   seen by comparison with raid1.c

This leads to at least 2 warnings and a probable crash is a RAID10
ever had known bad blocks.

commit e8b849158508565e0cd6bc80061124afc5879160 upstream.

commit e875ecea266a543e643b19e44cf472f1412708f9
    md/raid10 record bad blocks as needed during recovery.

added code to the "cannot recover this block" path to record a bad
block rather than fail the whole recovery.
Unfortunately this new case was placed *after* r10bio was freed rather
than *before*, yet it still uses r10bio.
This is will crash with a null dereference.

So move the freeing of r10bio down where it is safe.

<title>nilfs2: fix segctor bug that causes file system corruption</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ddcb318f633ddd7354561fabfe6dd3c90ebbe4d5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 70f2fe3a26248724d8a5019681a869abdaf3e89a upstream.

There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in
active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean.  It is
possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment
construction, whereby the old data is overwritten.

The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message:

  nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean

Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted:

  NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0
  NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660)

The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and
with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running.
Although it is quite hard to reproduce.

This is what happens:

 1. The cleaner starts the segment construction
 2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called
 3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
 4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full
 5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which
    allocates a new segment
 6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3
 7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message
 8. Loop around and the collection starts again
 9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
    including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active
    data and can be allocated at a later time
10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the
    segment and causes file system corruption

This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements.  If
nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments
the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

  CR2: 0000000000000020

Investigating, I found that the inode-&gt;i_security was NULL, and the
dereference of it caused the oops.

in selinux_inode_permission():

	isec = inode-&gt;i_security;

	rc = avc_has_perm_noaudit(sid, isec-&gt;sid, isec-&gt;sclass, perms, 0, &amp;avd);

Note, the crash came from stressing the deletion and reading of debugfs
files.  I was not able to recreate this via normal files.  But I'm not
sure they are safe.  It may just be that the race window is much harder
to hit.

What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is
being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted.
As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is
the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these
structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock().

The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does
not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct.  Now if the freeing of
the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of
the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then
there will be no issue here.  (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the
field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the
permission check).

Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand.  A real fix is
to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers
from the RCU callback.  But that is a major job to do, and requires a
lot of work.  For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it
works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

commit 3f9aec7610b39521c7c69d754de7265f6994c194 upstream.

When the core number exceeds 9, the size of the buffer storing the
alarm attribute name is insufficient and the attribute name is
truncated. This causes libsensors to skip these attributes as the
truncated name is not recognized.

After a successful hugetlb page migration by soft offline, the source
page will either be freed into hugepage_freelists or buddy(over-commit
page).  If page is in buddy, page_hstate(page) will be NULL.  It will
hit a NULL pointer dereference in dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page().

<title>perf/x86/amd/ibs: Fix waking up from S3 for AMD family 10h</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7e99f2168460c70d96241da3e8ff749f05416222</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bee09ed91cacdbffdbcd3b05de8409c77ec9fcd6 upstream.

On AMD family 10h we see following error messages while waking up from
S3 for all non-boot CPUs leading to a failed IBS initialization:

 Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
 smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1
 [Firmware Bug]: cpu 1, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
 perf: IBS APIC setup failed on cpu #1
 process: Switch to broadcast mode on CPU1
 CPU1 is up
 ...
 ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3

Reason for this is that during suspend the LVT offset for the IBS
vector gets lost and needs to be reinialized while resuming.

The offset is read from the IBSCTL msr. On family 10h the offset needs
to be 1 as offset 0 is used for the MCE threshold interrupt, but
firmware assings it for IBS to 0 too. The kernel needs to reprogram
the vector. The msr is a readonly node msr, but a new value can be
written via pci config space access. The reinitialization is
implemented for family 10h in setup_ibs_ctl() which is forced during
IBS setup.

This patch fixes IBS setup after waking up from S3 by adding
resume/supend hooks for the boot cpu which does the offset
reinitialization.

Marking it as stable to let distros pick up this fix.

commit 0283f7a100882684ad32b768f9f1ad81658a0b92 upstream.

At some point, Measurement Computing / ComputerBoards redesigned the
PCI-DIO48H to use a PLX PCI interface chip instead of an AMCC chip.
This meant they had to put their hardware registers in the PCI BAR 2
region instead of PCI BAR 1.  Unfortunately, they kept the same PCI
device ID for the new design.  This means the driver recognizes the
newer cards, but doesn't work (and is likely to screw up the local
configuration registers of the PLX chip) because it's using the wrong
region.

Since  the PCI subvendor and subdevice IDs were both zero on the old
design, but are the same as the vendor and device on the new design, we
can tell the old design and new design apart easily enough.  Split the
existing entry for the PCI-DIO48H in `pci_8255_boards[]` into two new
entries, referenced by different entries in the PCI device ID table
`pci_8255_pci_table[]`.  Use the same board name for both entries.

<title>KVM: x86: Convert vapic synchronization to _cached functions (CVE-2013-6368)</title>

<content type='text'>
commit fda4e2e85589191b123d31cdc21fd33ee70f50fd upstream.

In kvm_lapic_sync_from_vapic and kvm_lapic_sync_to_vapic there is the
potential to corrupt kernel memory if userspace provides an address that
is at the end of a page.  This patches concerts those functions to use
kvm_write_guest_cached and kvm_read_guest_cached.  It also checks the
vapic_address specified by userspace during ioctl processing and returns
an error to userspace if the address is not a valid GPA.

This is generally not guest triggerable, because the required write is
done by firmware that runs before the guest.  Also, it only affects AMD
processors and oldish Intel that do not have the FlexPriority feature
(unless you disable FlexPriority, of course; then newer processors are
also affected).
