printk: fix parsing of "brl=" option

2016-08-27T00:39:35Z

Commit bbeddf52adc1 ("printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files") moved the parsing of braille-related options into _braille_console_setup(), changing the type of variable str from char* to char**. In this commit, memcmp(str, "brl,", 4) was correctly updated to memcmp(*str, "brl,", 4) but not memcmp(str, "brl=", 4). Update the code to make "brl=" option work again and replace memcmp() with strncmp() to make the compiler able to detect such an issue.

sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields

2016-08-27T00:39:35Z

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 > /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->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.

perf/core: Use this_cpu_ptr() when stopping AUX events

2016-08-24T13:03:10Z

When tearing down an AUX buf for an event via perf_mmap_close(), __perf_event_output_stop() is called on the event's CPU to ensure that trace generation is halted before the process of unmapping and freeing the buffer pages begins. The callback is performed via cpu_function_call(), which ensures that it runs with interrupts disabled and is therefore not preemptible. Unfortunately, the current code grabs the per-cpu context pointer using get_cpu_ptr(), which unnecessarily disables preemption and doesn't pair the call with put_cpu_ptr(), leading to a preempt_count() imbalance and a BUG when freeing the AUX buffer later on: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2249 at kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:539 __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 Modules linked in: [...] Call Trace: [] dump_stack+0x4f/0x72 [] __warn+0xc6/0xe0 [] warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20 [] __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 [] rb_free_aux+0x13/0x20 [] perf_mmap_close+0x29e/0x2f0 [] ? perf_iterate_ctx+0xe0/0xe0 [] remove_vma+0x25/0x60 [] exit_mmap+0x106/0x140 [] mmput+0x1c/0xd0 [] do_exit+0x253/0xbf0 [] do_group_exit+0x3e/0xb0 [] get_signal+0x249/0x640 [] do_signal+0x23/0x640 [] ? _raw_write_unlock_irq+0x12/0x30 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x9/0x10 [] ? __schedule+0x2c6/0x710 [] exit_to_usermode_loop+0x74/0x90 [] prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x26/0x30 [] retint_user+0x8/0x10 This patch uses this_cpu_ptr() instead of get_cpu_ptr(), since preemption is already disabled by the caller.

timekeeping: Cap array access in timekeeping_debug

2016-08-24T07:34:32Z

It was reported that hibernation could fail on the 2nd attempt, where the system hangs at hibernate() -> syscore_resume() -> i8237A_resume() -> claim_dma_lock(), because the lock has already been taken. However there is actually no other process would like to grab this lock on that problematic platform. Further investigation showed that the problem is triggered by setting /sys/power/pm_trace to 1 before the 1st hibernation. Since once pm_trace is enabled, the rtc becomes unmeaningful after suspend, and meanwhile some BIOSes would like to adjust the 'invalid' RTC (e.g, smaller than 1970) to the release date of that motherboard during POST stage, thus after resumed, it may seem that the system had a significant long sleep time which is a completely meaningless value. Then in timekeeping_resume -> tk_debug_account_sleep_time, if the bit31 of the sleep time happened to be set to 1, fls() returns 32 and we add 1 to sleep_time_bin[32], which causes an out of bounds array access and therefor memory being overwritten. As depicted by System.map: 0xffffffff81c9d080 b sleep_time_bin 0xffffffff81c9d100 B dma_spin_lock the dma_spin_lock.val is set to 1, which caused this problem. This patch adds a sanity check in tk_debug_account_sleep_time() to ensure we don't index past the sleep_time_bin array.

timekeeping: Avoid taking lock in NMI path with CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING

2016-08-24T07:34:31Z

When I added some extra sanity checking in timekeeping_get_ns() under CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING, I missed that the NMI safe __ktime_get_fast_ns() method was using timekeeping_get_ns(). Thus the locking added to the debug checks broke the NMI-safety of __ktime_get_fast_ns(). This patch open-codes the timekeeping_get_ns() logic for __ktime_get_fast_ns(), so can avoid any deadlocks in NMI.
