tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS

2013-03-28T19:12:28Z

commit 95a69adab9acfc3981c504737a2b6578e4d846ef upstream. The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user. Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored and a warning is printed into the syslog. Signed-off-by: Tomas Hozza Acked-by: K. Y.

perf tools: Fix build with bison 2.3 and older.

2013-03-03T22:06:45Z

commit 85df3b3769222894e9692b383c7af124b7721086 upstream. The %name-prefix "prefix" syntax is not available on bison 2.3 and older. Substitute with the -p "prefix" command-line option for compatibility with older versions of bison. This patch fixes this build error with older versions of bison.

perf test: fix a build error on builtin-test

2012-12-17T18:37:46Z

commit 12f8f74b2a4d26c4facfa7ef99487cf0930f6ef7 upstream. Recently I build perf and get a build error on builtin-test.c. The error is as following: $ make CC perf.o CC builtin-test.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors builtin-test.c: In function ‘sched__get_first_possible_cpu’: builtin-test.c:977: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ALLOC’ builtin-test.c:977: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ALLOC’ builtin-test.c:977: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast builtin-test.c:978: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ALLOC_SIZE’ builtin-test.c:978: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ALLOC_SIZE’ builtin-test.c:979: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ZERO_S’ builtin-test.c:979: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ZERO_S’ builtin-test.c:982: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_FREE’ builtin-test.c:982: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_FREE’ builtin-test.c:992: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ISSET_S’ builtin-test.c:992: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ISSET_S’ builtin-test.c:998: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_CLR_S’ builtin-test.c:998: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_CLR_S’ make: *** [builtin-test.o] Error 1 This problem is introduced in 3e7c439a. CPU_ALLOC and related macros are missing in sched__get_first_possible_cpu function. In 54489c18, commiter mentioned that CPU_ALLOC has been removed. So CPU_ALLOC calls in this function are removed to let perf to be built.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-12T20:38:37Z

commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream. The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

tools/hv: Check for read/write errors

2012-10-07T15:32:25Z

commit 436473bc2173499ae274d0f50111d1e355006caf upstream. hv_kvp_daemon currently does not check whether fread() or fwrite() succeed. Add the necessary checks. Also, remove the incorrect use of feof() before fread(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tools/hv: Fix exit() error code

2012-10-07T15:32:25Z

commit 6bb22fea25624ab593eee376fa5fb82d1b13f45a upstream. Linux native exit codes are 8-bit unsigned values. exit(-1) results in an exit code of 255, which is usually reserved for shells reporting 'command not found'. Use the portable value EXIT_FAILURE.

2012-07-16T16:03:19Z

commit bcc2c9c3fff859e0eb019fe6fec26f9b8eba795c upstream. The SuSE security team suggested to use recvfrom instead of recv to be certain that the connector message is originated from kernel.

commit 9295b7a07c859a42346221b5839be0ae612333b0 upstream. Programs using /proc/kpageflags need to know about the various flags. The provides them and the comments in the file indicate that it is supposed to be used by user-level code. But the file is not installed.
