        time.
      
        What's in it?
         - add missing __ucmpdi2 symbol, which is required for btrfs on 32bit
           kernel.
         - change kunmap() macro to static inline function.  This fixes a
           debian/gcc-4.4 build error.
         - add locking when doing PTE updates.  This fixes random userspace

      efivars: only check for duplicates on the registered list · f464246d
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      variable_is_present() accesses '__efivars' directly, but when called via
      gsmi_init() Michel reports observing the following crash,
      
        BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
        IP: variable_is_present+0x55/0x170
        Call Trace:
          register_efivars+0x106/0x370
          gsmi_init+0x2ad/0x3da
          do_one_initcall+0x3f/0x170
      
      The reason for the crash is that '__efivars' hasn't been initialised nor
      has it been registered with register_efivars() by the time the google
      EFI SMI driver runs.  The gsmi code uses its own struct efivars, and
      therefore, a different variable list.  Fix the above crash by passing
      the registered struct efivars to variable_is_present(), so that we
      traverse the correct list.

      TTY: fix atime/mtime regression · 37b7f3c7
      Jiri Slaby 提交于
      In commit b0de59b5 ("TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write")
      we removed timestamps from tty inodes to fix a security issue and waited
      if something breaks.  Well, 'w', the utility to find out logged users
      and their inactivity time broke.  It shows that users are inactive since
      the time they logged in.
      
      To revert to the old behaviour while still preventing attackers to
      guess the password length, we update the timestamps in one-minute
      intervals by this patch.

      parisc: use spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore for PTE updates · bda079d3
      John David Anglin 提交于
      User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
      and random segmentation faults.  This patch improves the situation although
      there is more work to be done.
      
      One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
      entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at).  This
      change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock.  This lock
      is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
      the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
      not used after the page table entry is updated.  The UP and SMP code are now
      identical.
      
      The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
      cache.c to improve its efficiency.

      parisc: disable -mlong-calls compiler option for kernel modules · cf71130d
      Helge Deller 提交于
      CONFIG_MLONGCALLS was introduced in commit
      ec758f98 to overcome linker issues when linking
      huge linux kernels, e.g. with many modules linked in.
      
      But in the kernel module loader there is no support yet for the new relocation
      types, which is why modules built with -mlong-calls can't be loaded.
      Furthermore, for modules long calls are not really necessary, since we already
      use stub sections which resolve long distance calls.
      
      So, let's just disable this compiler option when compiling kernel modules.

      parisc: uaccess: fix compiler warnings caused by __put_user casting · 0f28b628
      Will Deacon 提交于
      When targetting 32-bit processors, __put_user emits a pair of stw
      instructions for the 8-byte case. If the type of __val is a pointer, the
      marshalling code casts it to the wider integer type of u64, resulting
      in the following compiler warnings:
      
        kernel/signal.c: In function 'copy_siginfo_to_user':
        kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
        kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
        [...]
      
      This patch fixes the warnings by removing the marshalling code and using
      the correct output modifiers in the __put_{user,kernel}_asm64 macros
      so that GCC will allocate the right registers without the need to
      extract the two words explicitly.

      efi: Check EFI revision in setup_efi_vars · f697036b
      Josh Boyer 提交于
      We need to check the runtime sys_table for the EFI version the firmware
      specifies instead of just checking for a NULL QueryVariableInfo.  Older
      implementations of EFI don't have QueryVariableInfo but the runtime is
      a smaller structure, so the pointer to it may be pointing off into garbage.
      
      This is apparently the case with several Apple firmwares that support EFI
      1.10, and the current check causes them to no longer boot.  Fix based on

      net: fix incorrect credentials passing · 83f1b4ba
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit 257b5358 ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm
      sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective
      uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid.
      
      Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
      the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
      uid/gid ends up being used.
      
      This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.

      x86, microcode: Verify the family before dispatching microcode patching · 74c3e3fc
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will
      be a minimum family for which this is implemented.  Verify this
      minimum level of support.
      
      This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application
      functions.  Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because
      of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather
      than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in
      the dispatch function.

      net: ax88796: avoid 64 bit arithmetic · b261c20f
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      When building ax88796 on an ARM platform with 64-bit resource_size_t,
      we currently get
      
      drivers/net/ethernet/8390/ax88796.c:875: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'
      
      because we do a division on the length of the MMIO resource.
      Since we know that this resource is very short, using an
      "unsigned long" instead of "resource_size_t" is entirely
      sufficient, and avoids this link-time error.

      Bjørn Mork says:
      
      ====================
      This series adds workarounds for 3 different firmware bugs, each
      preventing the affected devices from working at all. I therefore
      humbly request that these fixes go to stable-3.8 (if still
      maintained) and 3.9 (either via net if still possible, or via
      stable if not).
      
      All 3 workarounds are applied to all devices supported by the driver.
      Adding quirks for specific devices was considered as an alternative,
      but was rejected because we have too little information about the
      exact distribution of the buggy firmwares. All we know is that the
      same bug shows up in devices from at least 3 different, and presumably
      independent, vendors.
      
      The workarounds have instead been designed to automatically apply
      when necessary, and to have as little impact as possible on unaffected
      devices.  The series has been tested on a number of devices both with
      and without these bugs.
      
      The series should apply cleanly to net/master, net-next/master and
      stable/linux-3.8.y

      Bjørn Mork 提交于
      We normally trust and use the CDC functional descriptors provided by a
      number of devices.  But some of these will erroneously list the address
      reserved for the device end of the link.  Attempting to use this on
      both the device and host side will naturally not work.
      
      Work around this bug by ignoring the functional descriptor and assign a
      random address instead in this case.

      The bogus address is always the same, and matches the address
      suggested by many devices as a default address.  It is likely a
      hardcoded firmware default.
      
      The circumstances where this bug has been observed indicates that
      the trigger is related to timing or some other factor the host
      cannot control. Repeating the exact same configuration sequence
      that caused it to trigger once, will not necessarily cause it to
      trigger the next time. Reproducing the bug is therefore difficult.
      This opens up a possibility that the bug is more common than we can
      confirm, because affected devices often will work properly again
      after a reset.  A procedure most users are likely to try out before
      reporting a bug.
      
      Unconditionally rewriting the destination address if the first digit
      of the received packet is 0, is considered an acceptable compromise
      since we already have to inspect this digit.  The simplification will
      cause unnecessary rewrites if the real address starts with 0, but this
      is still better than adding additional tests for this particular case.
