[ Upstream commit 2205369a314e12fcec4781cc73ac9c08fc2b47de ]

When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads
in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to
be invoked directly.

But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's
header_ops up to the VLAN device.

This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops
routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but
will see a VLAN device instead.

Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange
to pass the proper real device instead.

To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header().  There are
implementations which provide a -&gt;cache and -&gt;create but not a
-&gt;rebuild (f.e. PLIP).  So we need a helper function just like
dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes.

Use this helper in the one existing place where the
header_ops-&gt;rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code.

With lots of help from Florian Westphal.

[ Upstream commit 12663bfc97c8b3fdb292428105dd92d563164050 ]

unix_dgram_recvmsg() will hold the readlock of the socket until recv
is complete.

In the same time, we may try to setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF) which will hang until
unix_dgram_recvmsg() will complete (which can take a while) without allowing
us to break out of it, triggering a hung task spew.

Instead, allow set_peek_off to fail, this way userspace will not hang.

<id>urn:sha1:d8b8a43e0f3c99bb29f258ef508969793f8e43bd</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fd7c092e711ebab55b2688d3859d95dfd0301f73 upstream.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti-&gt;type-&gt;status. If ti-&gt;type-&gt;status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.

However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.

If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.

In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
  key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
  This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
  code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.

This patch changes the ti-&gt;type-&gt;status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

<title>net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic</title>

<id>urn:sha1:18719a4c7a90af3de4bb071511dd4a6dcf61a2e0</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c ]

This patch now always passes msg-&gt;msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size &lt;= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen == 0)
	msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

[ Upstream commit 51c37a70aaa3f95773af560e6db3073520513912 ]

For properly initialising the Tausworthe generator [1], we have
a strict seeding requirement, that is, s1 &gt; 1, s2 &gt; 7, s3 &gt; 15.

Commit 697f8d0348 ("random32: seeding improvement") introduced
a __seed() function that imposes boundary checks proposed by the
errata paper [2] to properly ensure above conditions.

However, we're off by one, as the function is implemented as:
"return (x &lt; m) ? x + m : x;", and called with __seed(X, 1),
__seed(X, 7), __seed(X, 15). Thus, an unwanted seed of 1, 7, 15
would be possible, whereas the lower boundary should actually
be of at least 2, 8, 16, just as GSL does. Fix this, as otherwise
an initialization with an unwanted seed could have the effect
that Tausworthe's PRNG properties cannot not be ensured.

Note that this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel.

<id>urn:sha1:09f665049d7ecde55c5fbe4bb419b992288c4608</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a4d62babf988fe5dfde24437fa135ef147bc7aa0 upstream.

Hardware:
	CPU: XLP832,the 64-bit OS
	NOR Flash:S29GL128S 128M
Software:
	Kernel:2.6.32.41
	Filesystem:JFFS2
When writing files, errors appear:
	Write len 182  but return retlen 180
	Write of 182 bytes at 0x072c815c failed. returned -5, retlen 180
	Write len 186  but return retlen 184
	Write of 186 bytes at 0x072caff4 failed. returned -5, retlen 184
These errors exist only in 64-bit systems,not in 32-bit systems. After analysis, we
found that the left shift operation is wrong in map_word_load_partial. For instance:
	unsigned char buf[3] ={0x9e,0x3a,0xea};
	map_bankwidth(map) is 4;
	for (i=0; i &lt; 3; i++) {
		int bitpos;
		bitpos = (map_bankwidth(map)-1-i)*8;
		orig.x[0] &amp;= ~(0xff &lt;&lt; bitpos);
		orig.x[0] |= buf[i] &lt;&lt; bitpos;
	}

The value of orig.x[0] is expected to be 0x9e3aeaff, but in this situation(64-bit
System) we'll get the wrong value of 0xffffffff9e3aeaff due to the 64-bit sign
extension:
buf[i] is defined as "unsigned char" and the left-shift operation will convert it
to the type of "signed int", so when left-shift buf[i] by 24 bits, the final result
will get the wrong value: 0xffffffff9e3aeaff.

If the left-shift bits are less than 24, then sign extension will not occur. Whereas
the bankwidth of the nor flash we used is 4, therefore this BUG emerges.

<title>exec/ptrace: fix get_dumpable() incorrect tests</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c0d30628ff1b424f041d83fee37daea5f84eb0a2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d049f74f2dbe71354d43d393ac3a188947811348 upstream.

The get_dumpable() return value is not boolean.  Most users of the
function actually want to be testing for non-SUID_DUMP_USER(1) rather than
SUID_DUMP_DISABLE(0).  The SUID_DUMP_ROOT(2) is also considered a
protected state.  Almost all places did this correctly, excepting the two
places fixed in this patch.

Wrong logic:
    if (dumpable == SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (dumpable == 0) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (!dumpable) { /* be protective */ }

Correct logic:
    if (dumpable != SUID_DUMP_USER) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (dumpable != 1) { /* be protective */ }

Without this patch, if the system had set the sysctl fs/suid_dumpable=2, a
user was able to ptrace attach to processes that had dropped privileges to
that user.  (This may have been partially mitigated if Yama was enabled.)

The macros have been moved into the file that declares get/set_dumpable(),
which means things like the ia64 code can see them too.

commit 74e3d1e17b2e11d175970b85acd44f5927000ba2 upstream.

Two rt tasks bind to one CPU core.

The higher priority rt task A preempts a lower priority rt task B which
has already taken the write seq lock, and then the higher priority rt
task A try to acquire read seq lock, it's doomed to lockup.

rt task A with lower priority: call write
i_size_write                                        rt task B with higher priority: call sync, and preempt task A
  write_seqcount_begin(&amp;inode-&gt;i_size_seqcount);    i_size_read
  inode-&gt;i_size = i_size;                             read_seqcount_begin &lt;-- lockup here...

So disable preempt when acquiring every i_size_seqcount *write* lock will
cure the problem.

commit e56fb2874015370e3b7f8d85051f6dce26051df9 upstream.

threadgroup_lock() takes signal-&gt;cred_guard_mutex to ensure that
thread_group_leader() is stable.  This doesn't look nice, the scope of
this lock in do_execve() is huge.

And as Dave pointed out this can lead to deadlock, we have the
following dependencies:

	do_execve:		cred_guard_mutex -&gt; i_mutex
	cgroup_mount:		i_mutex -&gt; cgroup_mutex
	attach_task_by_pid:	cgroup_mutex -&gt; cred_guard_mutex

Change de_thread() to take threadgroup_change_begin() around the
switch-the-leader code and change threadgroup_lock() to avoid
-&gt;cred_guard_mutex.

Note that de_thread() can't sleep with -&gt;group_rwsem held, this can
obviously deadlock with the exiting leader if the writer is active, so it
does threadgroup_change_end() before schedule().

[ This is a simplified -stable version of a set of upstream commits. ]

This is a replacement patch only for stable which does fix the problems
handled by the following two commits in -net:

"ip_output: do skb ufo init for peeked non ufo skb as well" (e93b7d748be887cd7639b113ba7d7ef792a7efb9)
"ip6_output: do skb ufo init for peeked non ufo skb as well" (c547dbf55d5f8cf615ccc0e7265e98db27d3fb8b)

Three frames are written on a corked udp socket for which the output
netdevice has UFO enabled.  If the first and third frame are smaller than
the mtu and the second one is bigger, we enqueue the second frame with
skb_append_datato_frags without initializing the gso fields. This leads
to the third frame appended regulary and thus constructing an invalid skb.

This fixes the problem by always using skb_append_datato_frags as soon
as the first frag got enqueued to the skb without marking the packet
as SKB_GSO_UDP.

The problem with only two frames for ipv6 was fixed by "ipv6: udp
packets following an UFO enqueued packet need also be handled by UFO"
(2811ebac2521ceac84f2bdae402455baa6a7fb47).
