commit e66f17ff71772b209eed39de35aaa99ba819c93d upstream.

We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where
move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and
tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing.  This
race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code
for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock.

This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page.
This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any
architectures or configurations.

This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and
then tail pages can be pinned/returned.  So the caller must be changed to
properly handle the returned tail pages.

We could have a choice to add the similar locking to
follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because
currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it
for future development.

Here is the reproducer:

  $ cat movepages.c
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
  #include &lt;numaif.h&gt;

  #define ADDR_INPUT      0x700000000000UL

          status = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1);
          nodes  = malloc(sizeof(char *) * nr_p + 1);

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1868445f57222c177ff2b3ea31f002c1b7eabb08</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

commit f161d4b44d7cc1dc66b53365215227db356378b1 upstream.

This patch addresses the original PR_APTPL_BUF_LEN = 8k limitiation
for write-out of PR APTPL metadata that Martin has recently been
running into.

It changes core_scsi3_update_and_write_aptpl() to use vzalloc'ed
memory instead of kzalloc, and increases the default hardcoded
length to 256k.

It also adds logic in core_scsi3_update_and_write_aptpl() to double
the original length upon core_scsi3_update_aptpl_buf() failure, and
retries until the vzalloc'ed buffer is large enough to accommodate
the outgoing APTPL metadata.

<title>usb: core: buffer: smallest buffer should start at ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN</title>

commit 5efd2ea8c9f4f12916ffc8ba636792ce052f6911 upstream.

the following error pops up during "testusb -a -t 10"
| musb-hdrc musb-hdrc.1.auto: dma_pool_free buffer-128,	f134e000/be842000 (bad dma)
hcd_buffer_create() creates a few buffers, the smallest has 32 bytes of
size. ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is set to 64 bytes. This combo results in
hcd_buffer_alloc() returning memory which is 32 bytes aligned and it
might by identified by buffer_offset() as another buffer. This means the
buffer which is on a 32 byte boundary will not get freed, instead it
tries to free another buffer with the error message.

This patch fixes the issue by creating the smallest DMA buffer with the
size of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (or 32 in case ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is
smaller). This might be 32, 64 or even 128 bytes. The next three pools
will have the size 128, 512 and 2048.
In case the smallest pool is 128 bytes then we have only three pools
instead of four (and zero the first entry in the array).
The last pool size is always 2048 bytes which is the assumed PAGE_SIZE /
2 of 4096. I doubt it makes sense to continue using PAGE_SIZE / 2 where
we would end up with 8KiB buffer in case we have 16KiB pages.
Instead I think it makes sense to have a common size(s) and extend them
if there is need to.
There is a BUILD_BUG_ON() now in case someone has a minalign of more than
128 bytes.

<title>fsnotify: fix handling of renames in audit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:30858d77dc3fe065af5125fc3bdc0c48251d98e4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 6ee8e25fc3e916193bce4ebb43d5439e1e2144ab upstream.

Commit e9fd702a58c4 ("audit: convert audit watches to use fsnotify
instead of inotify") broke handling of renames in audit.  Audit code
wants to update inode number of an inode corresponding to watched name
in a directory.  When something gets renamed into a directory to a
watched name, inotify previously passed moved inode to audit code
however new fsnotify code passes directory inode where the change
happened.  That confuses audit and it starts watching parent directory
instead of a file in a directory.

This can be observed for example by doing:

  cd /tmp
  touch foo bar
  auditctl -w /tmp/foo
  touch foo
  mv bar foo
  touch foo

In audit log we see events like:

  type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1423563584.155:90): auid=1000 ses=2 op="updated rules" path="/tmp/foo" key=(null) list=4 res=1
  ...
  type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=2 name="bar" inode=1046884 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=DELETE
  type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=3 name="foo" inode=1046842 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=DELETE
  type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=4 name="foo" inode=1046884 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=CREATE
  ...

and that's it - we see event for the first touch after creating the
audit rule, we see events for rename but we don't see any event for the
last touch.  However we start seeing events for unrelated stuff
happening in /tmp.

Fix the problem by passing moved inode as data in the FS_MOVED_FROM and
FS_MOVED_TO events instead of the directory where the change happens.
This doesn't introduce any new problems because noone besides
audit_watch.c cares about the passed value:

  fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify.c cares only about FSNOTIFY_EVENT_PATH events.
  fs/notify/dnotify/dnotify.c doesn't care about passed 'data' value at all.
  fs/notify/inotify/inotify_fsnotify.c uses 'data' only for FSNOTIFY_EVENT_PATH.
  kernel/audit_tree.c doesn't care about passed 'data' at all.
  kernel/audit_watch.c expects moved inode as 'data'.

[ Upstream commit bdbbb8527b6f6a358dbcb70dac247034d665b8e4 ]

In commit be9f4a44e7d41 ("ipv4: tcp: remove per net tcp_sock")
I tried to address contention on a socket lock, but the solution
I chose was horrible :

commit 3a7c384ffd57e ("ipv4: tcp: unicast_sock should not land outside
of TCP stack") addressed a selinux regression.

commit 0980e56e506b ("ipv4: tcp: set unicast_sock uc_ttl to -1")
took care of another regression.

commit b5ec8eeac46 ("ipv4: fix ip_send_skb()") fixed another regression.

commit 811230cd85 ("tcp: ipv4: initialize unicast_sock sk_pacing_rate")
was another shot in the dark.

Really, just use a proper socket per cpu, and remove the skb_orphan()
call, to re-enable flow control.

This solves a serious problem with FQ packet scheduler when used in
hostile environments, as we do not want to allocate a flow structure
for every RST packet sent in response to a spoofed packet.

[ Upstream commit df4d92549f23e1c037e83323aff58a21b3de7fe0 ]

Not caching dst_entries which cause redirects could be exploited by hosts
on the same subnet, causing a severe DoS attack. This effect aggravated
since commit f88649721268999 ("ipv4: fix dst race in sk_dst_get()").

Lookups causing redirects will be allocated with DST_NOCACHE set which
will force dst_release to free them via RCU.  Unfortunately waiting for
RCU grace period just takes too long, we can end up with &gt;1M dst_entries
waiting to be released and the system will run OOM. rcuos threads cannot
catch up under high softirq load.

Attaching the flag to emit a redirect later on to the specific skb allows
us to cache those dst_entries thus reducing the pressure on allocation
and deallocation.

This issue was discovered by Marcelo Leitner.

commit 4161b4505f1690358ac0a9ee59845a7887336b21 upstream.

When ak4114 work calls its callback and the callback invokes
ak4114_reinit(), it stalls due to flush_delayed_work().  For avoiding
this, control the reentrance by introducing a refcount.  Also
flush_delayed_work() is replaced with cancel_delayed_work_sync().

The exactly same bug is present in ak4113.c and fixed as well.
