of: Fix overflow bug in string property parsing functions

2014-11-13T18:03:08Z

commit a87fa1d81a9fb5e9adca9820e16008c40ad09f33 upstream. The string property read helpers will run off the end of the buffer if it is handed a malformed string property. Rework the parsers to make sure that doesn't happen. At the same time add new test cases to make sure the functions behave themselves. The original implementations of of_property_read_string_index() and of_property_count_strings() both open-coded the same block of parsing code, each with it's own subtly different bugs. The fix here merges functions into a single helper and makes the original functions static inline wrappers around the helper. One non-bugfix aspect of this patch is the addition of a new wrapper, of_property_read_string_array(). The new wrapper is needed by the device_properties feature that Rafael is working on and planning to merge for v3.19. The implementation is identical both with and without the new static inline wrapper, so it just got left in to reduce the churn on the header file. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Cc: Rafael J.

HID: usbhid: add always-poll quirk

2014-11-13T18:02:52Z

commit 0b750b3baa2d64f1b77aecc10f20deeb28efe60d upstream. Add quirk to make sure that a device is always polled for input events even if it hasn't been opened. This is needed for devices that disconnects from the bus unless the interrupt endpoint has been polled at least once or when not responding to an input event (e.g. after having shut down X).

USB: core: add device-qualifier quirk

2014-11-13T18:02:50Z

commit 2a159389bf5d962359349a76827b2f683276a1c7 upstream. Add new quirk for devices that cannot handle requests for the device_qualifier descriptor. A USB-2.0 compliant device must respond to requests for the device_qualifier descriptor (even if it's with a request error), but at least one device is known to misbehave after such a request.

OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend

2014-11-13T18:02:40Z

commit 5695be142e203167e3cb515ef86a88424f3524eb upstream. PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time freeze_processes finishes. Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is, however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case. Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal. Changes since v1 - push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more readable as per Rafael Fixes: f660daac474c6f (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen before deferring) Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2

2014-11-13T18:02:21Z

commit b8839b8c55f3fdd60dc36abcda7e0266aff7985c upstream. The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset() assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a power-of-2. Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min. This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of 1280K. Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.

random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing data

2014-11-13T18:02:16Z

commit d4c5efdb97773f59a2b711754ca0953f24516739 upstream. zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7) memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy, entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc. Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants) that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in and doesn't need any dependencies then. ] Fixes kernel bugzilla: 82041 Reported-by: zatimend@hotmail.co.uk Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

vfs: fix data corruption when blocksize < pagesize for mmaped data

2014-11-13T18:02:11Z

commit 90a8020278c1598fafd071736a0846b38510309c upstream. ->page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than silently discarding data later when writepage is called. However VFS fails to call ->page_mkwrite() in all the cases where filesystems need it when blocksize < pagesize. For example when blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic: ftruncate(fd, 0); pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0); map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); map[0] = 'a'; ----> page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */ mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0); map[4095] = 'a'; ----> no page_mkwrite() called At the moment ->page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at ->writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we don't have block allocated for it. This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have ->page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

crypto: more robust crypto_memneq

2014-11-13T18:02:05Z

commit fe8c8a126806fea4465c43d62a1f9d273a572bf5 upstream. [Only use the compiler.h portion of this patch, to get the OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() macro, which we need for other -stable patches - gregkh] Disabling compiler optimizations can be fragile, since a new optimization could be added to -O0 or -Os that breaks the assumptions the code is making. Instead of disabling compiler optimizations, use a dummy inline assembly (based on RELOC_HIDE) to block the problematic kinds of optimization, while still allowing other optimizations to be applied to the code. The dummy inline assembly is added after every OR, and has the accumulator variable as its input and output. The compiler is forced to assume that the dummy inline assembly could both depend on the accumulator variable and change the accumulator variable, so it is forced to compute the value correctly before the inline assembly, and cannot assume anything about its value after the inline assembly. This change should be enough to make crypto_memneq work correctly (with data-independent timing) even if it is inlined at its call sites. That can be done later in a followup patch.

mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set

2014-10-31T14:11:24Z

commit 934f3072c17cc8886f4c043b47eeeb1b12f8de33 upstream. commit 21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O during memory allocation") introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag to avoid doing I/O inside memory allocation, __GFP_IO is cleared when this flag is set, but __GFP_FS implies __GFP_IO, it should also be cleared. Or it may still run into I/O, like in superblock shrinker. And this will make the kernel run into the deadlock case described in that commit. See Dave Chinner's comment about io in superblock shrinker: Filesystem shrinkers do indeed perform IO from the superblock shrinker and have for years. Even clean inodes can require IO before they can be freed - e.g. on an orphan list, need truncation of post-eof blocks, need to wait for ordered operations to complete before it can be freed, etc. IOWs, Ext4, btrfs and XFS all can issue and/or block on arbitrary amounts of IO in the superblock shrinker context. XFS, in particular, has been doing transactions and IO from the VFS inode cache shrinker since it was first introduced.... Fix this by clearing __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags(), this function has masked all the gfp_mask that will be passed into fs for the processes setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO in the direct reclaim path. v1 thread at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/3/32 Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi Cc: Dave Chinner Cc: joyce.xue Cc: Ming Lei Cc: Trond Myklebust Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby
