exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth

2013-03-28T19:06:14Z

commit d740269867021faf4ce38a449353d2b986c34a67 upstream. To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back up the chain, aborting immediately. This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the dash source: if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) { *argv-- = cmd; *argv = cmd = path_bshell; goto repeat; } The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC, things continue to behave as the shell expects. Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible for tracking the depth.

perf,x86: fix link failure for non-Intel configs

perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume

2013-03-20T19:58:52Z

commit 1d9d8639c063caf6efc2447f5f26aa637f844ff6 upstream. This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

unbreak automounter support on 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace (v2)

2013-03-03T22:09:06Z

commit 4f4ffc3a5398ef9bdbb32db04756d7d34e356fcf upstream. automount-support is broken on the parisc architecture, because the existing #if list does not include a check for defined(__hppa__). The HPPA (parisc) architecture is similiar to other 64bit Linux targets where we have to define autofs_wqt_t (which is passed back and forth to user space) as int type which has a size of 32bit across 32 and 64bit kernels. During the discussion on the mailing list, H. Peter Anvin suggested to invert the #if list since only specific platforms (specifically those who do not have a 32bit userspace, like IA64 and Alpha) should have autofs_wqt_t as unsigned long type. This suggestion is probably the best way to go, since Arm64 (and maybe others?) seems to have a non-working automounter. So in the long run even for other new upcoming architectures this inverted check seem to be the best solution, since it will not require them to change this #if again (unless they are 64bit only).

ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up()

2013-03-03T22:09:05Z

Upstream commit 910ffdb18a6408e14febbb6e4b6840fd2c928c82. Cleanup and preparation for the next change. signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the necessary mask. Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up() which adds __TASK_TRACED. This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request() even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.

quota: autoload the quota_v2 module for QFMT_VFS_V1 quota format

commit c3ad83d9efdfe6a86efd44945a781f00c879b7b4 upstream. Otherwise, ext4 file systems with the quota featured enable will get a very confusing "No such process" error message if the quota code is built as a module and the quota_v2 module has not been loaded.

fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess

commit e93a9a868792ad71cdd09d75e5a02d8067473c4e upstream. I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver(). After this hack, lockdep warnings are finally gone.

NLS: improve UTF8 -> UTF16 string conversion routine

2013-02-28T14:32:26Z

commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream. The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its 16-bit output. This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new capabilities. The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the way they handle invalid byte combinations. But that's a subject for a different patch. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern CC: Clemens Ladisch Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ALSA: usb: Fix Processing Unit Descriptor parsers

2013-02-28T14:32:25Z

commit b531f81b0d70ffbe8d70500512483227cc532608 upstream. Commit 99fc86450c439039d2ef88d06b222fd51a779176 "ALSA: usb-mixer: parse descriptors with structs" introduced a set of useful parsers for descriptors. Unfortunately the parses for the Processing Unit Descriptor came with a very subtle bug... Functions uac_processing_unit_iProcessing() and uac_processing_unit_specific() were indexing the baSourceID array forgetting the fields before the iProcessing and process-specific descriptors. The problem was observed with Sound Blaster Extigy mixer, where nNrModes in Up/Down-mix Processing Unit Descriptor was accessed at offset 10 of the descriptor (value 0) instead of offset 15 (value 7). In result the resulting control had interesting limit values: Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0 Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - -1 Mono: -1 [100%] Fixed by starting from the bmControls, which was calculated correctly, instead of baSourceID. Now the mentioned control is fine: Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0 Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 6 Mono: 0 [0%] Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
