agp/intel: Fix typo in needs_ilk_vtd_wa()

2015-10-22T01:20:06Z

commit 8b572a4200828b4e75cc22ed2f494b58d5372d65 upstream. In needs_ilk_vtd_wa(), we pass in the GPU device but compared it against the ids for the mobile GPU and the mobile host bridge. That latter is impossible and so likely was just a typo for the desktop GPU device id (which is also buggy).

ipmi: fix timeout calculation when bmc is disconnected

2015-09-18T01:20:46Z

commit e21404dc0ac7ac971c1e36274b48bb460463f4e5 upstream. Loading ipmi_si module while bmc is disconnected, we found the timeout is longer than 5 secs. Actually it takes about 3 mins and 20 secs.(HZ=250) error message as below: Dec 12 19:08:59 linux kernel: IPMI BT: timeout in RD_WAIT [ ] 1 retries left Dec 12 19:08:59 linux kernel: BT: write 4 bytes seq=0x01 03 18 00 01 [...] Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI BT: timeout in RD_WAIT [ ] Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: failed 2 retries, sending error response Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI: BT reset (takes 5 secs) Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI BT: flag reset [ ] Function wait_for_msg_done() use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) to sleep 1 tick, so we should subtract jiffies_to_usecs(1) instead of 100 usecs from timeout.

virtio_console: avoid config access from irq

2015-06-19T03:40:25Z

commit eeb8a7e8bb123e84daeef84f5a2eab99ad2839a2 upstream. when multiport is off, virtio console invokes config access from irq context, config access is blocking on s390. Fix this up by scheduling work from config irq - similar to what we do for multiport configs. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing data

2015-02-02T09:04:54Z

commit d4c5efdb97773f59a2b711754ca0953f24516739 upstream. zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7) memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy, entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc. Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants) that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in and doesn't need any dependencies then. ] Fixes kernel bugzilla: 82041 Reported-by: zatimend@hotmail.co.uk Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o [lizf: Backported to 3.4: - adjust context - another memset() in extract_buf() needs to be converted] Signed-off-by: Zefan Li

applicom: dereferencing NULL on error path

commit 8bab797c6e5724a43b7666ad70860712365cdb71 upstream. This is a static checker fix. The "dev" variable is always NULL after the while statement so we would be dereferencing a NULL pointer here.

virtio: console: add locking around c_ovq operations

2014-06-11T19:04:18Z

commit 9ba5c80b1aea8648a3efe5f22dc1f7cacdfbeeb8 upstream. When multiple ovq operations are being performed (lots of open/close operations on virtio_console fds), the __send_control_msg() function can get confused without locking. A simple recipe to cause badness is: * create a QEMU VM with two virtio-serial ports * in the guest, do while true;do echo abc >/dev/vport0p1;done while true;do echo edf >/dev/vport0p2;done In one run, this caused a panic in __send_control_msg(). In another, I got virtio_console virtio0: control-o:id 0 is not a head! This also results repeated messages similar to these on the host: qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762112 for device virtio-serial-bus.0 qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762368 for device virtio-serial-bus.0 Reported-by: FuXiangChun Signed-off-by: Amit Shah Reviewed-by: Wanlong Gao Reviewed-by: Asias He Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell [bwh: Backported to 3.2: adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings [wyj: Backported to 3.4: adjust context] Signed-off-by: Yijing Wang Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

random: fix accounting race condition with lockless irq entropy_count update

2014-06-07T23:02:14Z

commit 10b3a32d292c21ea5b3ad5ca5975e88bb20b8d68 upstream. Commit 902c098a3663 ("random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt path") turned IRQ path from being spinlock protected into lockless cmpxchg-retry update. That commit removed r->lock serialization between crediting entropy bits from IRQ context and accounting when extracting entropy on userspace read path, but didn't turn the r->entropy_count reads/updates in account() to use cmpxchg as well. It has been observed, that under certain circumstances this leads to read() on /dev/urandom to return 0 (EOF), as r->entropy_count gets corrupted and becomes negative, which in turn results in propagating 0 all the way from account() to the actual read() call. Convert the accounting code to be the proper lockless counterpart of what has been partially done by 902c098a3663.
