commit f2b20f6ee842313a0d681dbbf7f87b70291a6a3b upstream.

This fixes a bug where the permission was not properly checked in
overlayfs.  The testcase is ltp/utimensat01.

It is also cleaner and safer to do the permission checking in the vfs
helper instead of the caller.

This patch introduces an additional ia_valid flag ATTR_TOUCH (since
touch(1) is the most obvious user of utimes(NULL)) that is passed into
notify_change whenever the conditions for this special permission checking
mode are met.

commit a397ba829d7f8aff4c90af3704573a28ccd61a59 upstream.

Move common values and types used by ghash-generic to a new header file
so drivers can directly use ghash-generic as a fallback implementation.

<id>urn:sha1:1294d355881cc5c3421d24fee512f16974addb6c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619 upstream.

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once
(badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix
get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to
problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").

In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now
fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better).  The
s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement
software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9.  Earlier kernels will
have to look at the page state itself.

Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.

To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes,
we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that
is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that
the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

commit 9a6dc644512fd083400a96ac4a035ac154fe6b8d upstream.

set_bit() and clear_bit() take the bit number so this code is really
doing "1 &lt;&lt; (1 &lt;&lt; irq)" which is a double shift bug.  It's done
consistently so it won't cause a problem unless "irq" is more than 4.

<title>sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e7d316a02f683864a12389f8808570e37fb90aa3 upstream.

We have scripts which write to certain fields on 3.18 kernels but this
seems to be failing on 4.4 kernels.  An entry which we write to here is
xfrm_aevent_rseqth which is u32.

  echo 4294967295  &gt; /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth

Commit 230633d109e3 ("kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting
to int") prevented writing to sysctl entries when integer overflow
occurs.  However, this does not apply to unsigned integers.

Heinrich suggested that we introduce a new option to handle 64 bit
limits and set min as 0 and max as UINT_MAX.  This might not work as it
leads to issues similar to __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax.  Alternatively,
we would need to change the datatype of the entry to 64 bit.

  static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table
  {
      i = (unsigned long *) data;   //This cast is causing to read beyond the size of data (u32)
      vleft = table-&gt;maxlen / sizeof(unsigned long); //vleft is 0 because maxlen is sizeof(u32) which is lesser than sizeof(unsigned long) on x86_64.

Introduce a new proc handler proc_douintvec.  Individual proc entries
will need to be updated to use the new handler.

nvmem_cell_read() is declared as void * if CONFIG_NVMEM is enabled, and
as char * otherwise. This can result in a build warning if CONFIG_NVMEM
is not enabled and a caller asigns the result to a type other than char *
without using a typecast. Use a consistent declaration to avoid the
problem.

commit 9abefcb1aaa58b9d5aa40a8bb12c87d02415e4c8 upstream.

A timer was used to restart after the bus-off state, leading to a
relatively large can_restart() executed in an interrupt context,
which in turn sets up pinctrl. When this happens during system boot,
there is a high probability of grabbing the pinctrl_list_mutex,
which is locked already by the probe() of other device, making the
kernel suspect a deadlock condition [1].

To resolve this issue, the restart_timer is replaced by a delayed
work.

<title>fix fault_in_multipages_...() on architectures with no-op access_ok()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e23d4159b109167126e5bcd7f3775c95de7fee47 upstream.

Switching iov_iter fault-in to multipages variants has exposed an old
bug in underlying fault_in_multipages_...(); they break if the range
passed to them wraps around.  Normally access_ok() done by callers will
prevent such (and it's a guaranteed EFAULT - ERR_PTR() values fall into
such a range and they should not point to any valid objects).

However, on architectures where userland and kernel live in different
MMU contexts (e.g. s390) access_ok() is a no-op and on those a range
with a wraparound can reach fault_in_multipages_...().

Since any wraparound means EFAULT there, the fix is trivial - turn
those

    while (uaddr &lt;= end)
	    ...
into

    if (unlikely(uaddr &gt; end))
	    return -EFAULT;
    do
	    ...
    while (uaddr &lt;= end);

<content type='text'>
commit 96d41019e3ac55f6f0115b0ce97e4f24a3d636d2 upstream.

fanotify_get_response() calls fsnotify_remove_event() when it finds that
group is being released from fanotify_release() (bypass_perm is set).

However the event it removes need not be only in the group's notification
queue but it can have already moved to access_list (userspace read the
event before closing the fanotify instance fd) which is protected by a
different lock.  Thus when fsnotify_remove_event() races with
fanotify_release() operating on access_list, the list can get corrupted.

Fix the problem by moving all the logic removing permission events from
the lists to one place - fanotify_release().
