Documentation: devicetree: change the mediatek ethernet compatible string

2017-07-05T12:40:24Z

[ Upstream commit 61976fff20f92aceecc3670f6168bfc57a79e047 ] When the binding was defined, I was not aware that mt2701 was an earlier version of the SoC. For sake of consistency, the ethernet driver should use mt2701 inside the compat string as this is the earliest SoC with the ethernet core. The ethernet driver is currently of no real use until we finish and upstream the DSA driver. There are no users of this binding yet. It should be safe to fix this now before it is too late and we need to provide backward compatibility for the mt7623-eth compat string.

dt: bindings: net: use boolean dt properties for eee broken modes

2017-07-05T12:40:20Z

[ Upstream commit 308d3165d8b2b98d3dc3d97d6662062735daea67 ] The patches regarding eee-broken-modes was merged before all people involved could find an agreement on the best way to move forward. While we agreed on having a DT property to mark particular modes as broken, the value used for eee-broken-modes mapped the phy register in very direct way. Because of this, the concern is that it could be used to implement configuration policies instead of describing a broken HW. In the end, having a boolean property for each mode seems to be preferred over one bit field value mapping the register (too) directly.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-24T05:11:18Z

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream. Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

arm64: documentation: document tagged pointer stack constraints

2017-05-25T13:44:45Z

commit f0e421b1bf7af97f026e1bb8bfe4c5a7a8c08f42 upstream. Some kernel features don't currently work if a task puts a non-zero address tag in its stack pointer, frame pointer, or frame record entries (FP, LR). For example, with a tagged stack pointer, the kernel can't deliver signals to the process, and the task is killed instead. As another example, with a tagged frame pointer or frame records, perf fails to generate call graphs or resolve symbols. For now, just document these limitations, instead of finding and fixing everything that doesn't work, as it's not known if anyone needs to use tags in these places anyway. In addition, as requested by Dave Martin, generalize the limitations into a general kernel address tag policy, and refactor tagged-pointers.txt to include it.

watchdog: s3c2410: Fix infinite interrupt in soft mode

2017-04-12T10:41:22Z

[ Upstream commit 0b445549ea6f91ffea78a976fe89b932db6e077a ] In soft (no-reboot) mode, the driver self-pings watchdog upon expiration of an interrupt. However the interrupt itself was not cleared thus on first hit, the system enters infinite interrupt handling loop. On Odroid U3 (Exynos4412), when booted with s3c2410_wdt.soft_noboot=1 argument the console is flooded: # killall -9 watchdog [ 60.523760] s3c2410-wdt 10060000.watchdog: watchdog timer expired (irq) [ 60.536744] s3c2410-wdt 10060000.watchdog: watchdog timer expired (irq) Fix this by writing something to the WTCLRINT register to clear the interrupt. The register WTCLRINT however appeared in S3C6410 so a new watchdog quirk and flavor are needed.

ACPI / sysfs: Provide quirk mechanism to prevent GPE flooding

2017-04-12T10:41:18Z

[ Upstream commit 9c4aa1eecb48cfac18ed5e3aca9d9ae58fbafc11 ] Sometimes, the users may require a quirk to be provided from ACPI subsystem core to prevent a GPE from flooding. Normally, if a GPE cannot be dispatched, ACPICA core automatically prevents the GPE from firing. But there are cases the GPE is dispatched by _Lxx/_Exx provided via AML table, and OSPM is lacking of the knowledge to get _Lxx/_Exx correctly executed to handle the GPE, thus the GPE flooding may still occur. The existing quirk mechanism can be enabled/disabled using the following commands to prevent such kind of GPE flooding during runtime: # echo mask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00 # echo unmask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00 To avoid GPE flooding during boot, we need a boot stage mechanism. This patch provides such a boot stage quirk mechanism to stop this kind of GPE flooding. This patch doesn't fix any feature gap but since the new feature gaps could be found in the future endlessly, and can disappear if the feature gaps are filled, providing a boot parameter rather than a DMI table should suffice.
