2012-12-21dm ioctl: prevent unsafe change to dm_ioctl data_sizeAlasdair G Kergon1-0/+8
Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer from userspace. The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence: 1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params(); 2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp"; 3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole userspace buffer there; 4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole buffer into the pointer "param"; 5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it in the variable "input_param_size"; 6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the kernel buffer. The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user memory between steps 2 and 4. In particular, the data_size parameter can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it. This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory. The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4. This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

2012-12-21dm persistent data: rename node to btree_nodeMikulas Patocka4-47/+47
This patch fixes a compilation failure on sparc32 by renaming struct node. struct node is already defined in include/linux/node.h. On sparc32, it happens to be included through other dependencies and persistent-data doesn't compile because of conflicting declarations.

2012-12-21NFS: Kill fscache warnings when mounting without -ofscTrond Myklebust1-4/+15
The fscache code will currently bleat a "non-unique superblock keys" warning even if the user is mounting without the 'fsc' option. There should be no reason to even initialise the superblock cache cookie unless we're planning on using fscache for something, so ensure that we check for the NFS_OPTION_FSCACHE flag before calling into the fscache code.

Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris: "This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system. By switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now hold the lock across things like iput(). This fixes a problem involving unmounting a fs and having inodes be busy, first pointed out by FAT, but reproducible with tmpfs. This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been broken since about 2.6.32." Ugh. I *hate* the timing of this. It was rebased after the merge window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day before the merge window closes. That's just crap.

2012-12-20SGI-XP: handle non-fatal trapsRobin Holt1-2/+32
We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap. That trap would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received. This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the end of the deactivate. I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead to a system to continue on to call die().

2012-12-20linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST with unsigned divisorsGuenter Roeck1-2/+4
Commit 263a523d18bc ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST. Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for example, -10 / 5U = 858993457). The C standard says "If one operand has unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so the compiler is not to blame. As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into account. Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which operation to perform. This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors. Mark the latter case as unsupported. One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0. Other impact is unpredictable. Problem is seen if the divisor is an unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

2012-12-20revert "rtc: recycle id when unloading a rtc driver"Andrew Morton1-1/+0
Revert commit 2830a6d20139df2198d63235df7957712adb28e5. We already perform the ida_simple_remove() in rtc_device_release(), which is an appropriate place. Commit 2830a6d20 ("rtc: recycle id when unloading a rtc driver") caused the kernel to emit ida_remove called for id=0 which is not allocated. warnings when rtc_device_release() tries to release an alread-released ID. Let's restore things to their previous state and then work out why Vincent's kernel wasn't calling rtc_device_release() - presumably a bug in a specific sub-driver.

2012-12-20exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stackKees Cook4-2/+23
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak into the command line. Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively. However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the userspace argv areas. After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As such, we need to protect the changes to interp. This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.

2012-12-20drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it existsZhenzhong Duan1-15/+47
The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region This issue was originally found from an oracle bug. One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2. - HP ProLiant BL460c G6 : # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid 00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531 # dmidecode | grep -i uuid UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531 From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than network byte order. So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the real version is taken from the SMBIOS version. This is part of original kernel comment in code.

2012-12-20mm: fix calculation of dirtyable memorySonny Rao1-5/+20
The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache. A bug causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned number. This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a time). This generally only affects systems with highmem because the underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable memory. The problem was introduced with v3.2-4896-gab8fabd Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or global dirtyable memory.
