2013-10-30staging: wlags49_h2: buffer overflow setting station nameDan Carpenter
We need to check the length parameter before doing the memcpy(). I've actually changed it to strlcpy() as well so that it's NUL terminated. You need CAP_NET_ADMIN to trigger these so it's not the end of the world.

2013-10-27parisc: Do not crash 64bit SMP kernels on machines with >= 4GB RAMHelge Deller
Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the kernel. The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g. J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted. In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial: During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called. It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task thread info pointer. Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for %cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly turned zero after the firmware call. So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes became clear: - On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this problem. - Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task thread info pointer was below 4GB. - Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because the upper 32bit were zero anyay. - Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary. Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.

2013-10-25vhost/scsi: Fix incorrect usage of get_user_pages_fast write parameterNicholas Bellinger
This patch addresses a long-standing bug where the get_user_pages_fast() write parameter used for setting the underlying page table entry permission bits was incorrectly set to write=1 for data_direction=DMA_TO_DEVICE, and passed into get_user_pages_fast() via vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl(). However, this parameter is intended to signal WRITEs to pinned userspace PTEs for the virtio-scsi DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> READ payload case, and *not* for the virtio-scsi DMA_TO_DEVICE -> WRITE payload case. This bug would manifest itself as random process segmentation faults on KVM host after repeated vhost starts + stops and/or with lots of vhost endpoints + LUNs.

2013-10-25mtd: gpmi: fix ECC regressionDavid Woodhouse
The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves. Commit 2febcdf84b ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info") makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size) provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression: We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout. This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout. We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12 release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour. This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At this point in the cycle I really don't care.

2013-10-25seq_file: always update file->f_pos in seq_lseek()Gu Zheng
This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no further comments: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41 As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the following program produces the problem: char str1[32] = { 0 }; char str2[32] = { 0 }; int poffset = 10; int count = 20; /*open any seq file*/ int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY); pread(fd, str1, count, poffset); printf("pread:%s\n", str1); /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/ lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET); /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/ read(fd, str2, count); printf("read:%s\n", str2); out put: pread: ck_netbios_ns 12665 read: nf_conntrack_netbios /proc/modules: nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000 nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000 So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.

2013-10-24PM / hibernate: Move software_resume to late_initcall_syncRuss Dill
software_resume is being called after deferred_probe_initcall in drivers base. If the probing of the device that contains the resume image is deferred, and the system has been instructed to wait for it to show up, this wait will occur in software_resume. This causes a deadlock. Move software_resume into late_initcall_sync so that it happens after all the other late_initcalls.

2013-10-24mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Fix registered MTD nameEzequiel Garcia
In a recent commit: commit f455578dd961087a5cf94730d9f6489bb1d355f0 Author: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com> Date: Mon Aug 12 14:14:53 2013 -0300 mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Remove hardcoded mtd name There's no advantage in using a hardcoded name for the mtd device. Instead use the provided by the platform_device. The MTD name was changed to use the one provided by the platform_device. However, this can be problematic as some users want to set partitions using the kernel parameter 'mtdparts', where the name is needed. Therefore, to avoid regressions in users relying in 'mtdparts' we revert the change and use the previous one 'pxa3xx_nand-0'. While at it, let's put a big comment and prevent this change from happening ever again.

2013-10-24perf script python: Fix mem leak due to missing Py_DECREFs on dict entriesJoseph Schuchart
We are using the Python scripting interface in perf to extract kernel events relevant for performance analysis of HPC codes. We noticed that the "perf script" call allocates a significant amount of memory (in the order of several 100 MiB) during it's run, e.g. 125 MiB for a 25 MiB input file: $> perf record -o perf.data -a -R -g fp \ -e power:cpu_frequency -e sched:sched_switch \ -e sched:sched_migrate_task -e sched:sched_process_exit \ -e sched:sched_process_fork -e sched:sched_process_exec \ -e cycles -m 4096 --freq 4000 $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py 0.84user 0.13system 0:01.92elapsed 51%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 125532maxresident)k 73072inputs+0outputs (57major+33086minor)pagefaults 0swaps Upon further investigation using the valgrind massif tool, we noticed that Python objects that are created in trace-event-python.c via PyString_FromString*() (and their Integer and Long counterparts) are never free'd. The reason for this seem to be missing Py_DECREF calls on the objects that are returned by these functions and stored in the Python dictionaries. The Python dictionaries do not steal references (as opposed to Python tuples and lists) but instead add their own reference. Hence, the reference that is returned by these object creation functions is never released and the memory is leaked. (see [1,2]) The attached patch fixes this by wrapping all relevant calls to PyDict_SetItemString() and decrementing the reference counter immediately after the Python function call. This reduces the allocated memory to a reasonable amount: $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py 0.73user 0.05system 0:00.79elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 49132maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+14045minor)pagefaults 0swaps For comparison, with a 120 MiB input file the memory consumption reported by time drops from almost 600 MiB to 146 MiB. The patch has been tested using Linux 3.8.2 with Python 2.7.4 and Linux 3.11.6 with Python 2.7.5. Please let me know if you need any further information.

This patch adds an explicit check + failure for XCOPY I/O to source + destination devices with a non-matching block_size. This limitiation is currently due to the fact that the scatterlist memory allocated for the XCOPY READ operation is passed zero-copy to the XCOPY WRITE operation.
