      powerpc/rtas_flash: Fix validate_flash buffer overflow issue · a94a1472
      由 Vasant Hegde 提交于 
      ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200
bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output
buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from
RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below
call trace).

This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses
snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.

      ppc: Clean up rtas_flash driver somewhat · e8eeded3
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Clean up some of the problems with the rtas_flash driver:

 (1) It shouldn't fiddle with the internals of the procfs filesystem (altering
     pde->count).

 (2) If pid namespaces are in effect, then you can get multiple inodes
     connected to a single pde, thereby rendering the pde->count > 2 test
     useless.

 (3) The pde->count fudging doesn't work for forked, dup'd or cloned file
     descriptors, so add static mutexes and use them to wrap access to the
     driver through read, write and release methods.

 (4) The driver can only handle one device, so allocate most of the data
     previously attached to the pde->data as static variables instead (though
     allocate the validation data buffer with kmalloc).

 (5) We don't need to save the pde pointers as long as we have the filenames
     available for removal.

 (6) Don't try to multiplex what the update file read method does based on the
     filename.  Instead provide separate file ops and split the function.

Whilst we're at it, tabulate the procfile information and loop through it when
creating or destroying them rather than manually coding each one.

      powerpc/rtas_flash: Fix bad memory access · fb4696c3
      由 Vasant Hegde 提交于 
      We use kmem_cache_alloc() to allocate memory to hold the new firmware
which will be flashed. kmem_cache_alloc() calls rtas_block_ctor() to
set memory to NULL. But these constructor is called only for newly
allocated slabs.

If we run below command multiple time without rebooting, allocator may
allocate memory from the area which was free'd by kmem_cache_free and
it will not call constructor. In this situation we may hit kernel oops.

allocate memory, which makes sure memory is set to 0 before using.
Also removes rtas_block_ctor(), which is no longer required.

      powerpc/rtas_flash: Eliminate possible double free · bc26957c
      由 Julia Lawall 提交于 
      The function initialize_flash_pde_data is only called four times.  All four
calls are in the function rtas_flash_init, and on the failure of any of the
calls, remove_flash_pde is called on the third argument of each of the
calls.  There is thus no need for initialize_flash_pde_data to call
remove_flash_pde on the same argument.  remove_flash_pde kfrees the data
field of its argument, and does not clear that field, so this amounts ot a
possible double free.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

      powerpc/pseries: Cancel RTAS event scan before firmware flash · df17f56d
      由 Ravi K. Nittala 提交于 
      The RTAS firmware flash update is conducted using an RTAS call that is
serialized by lock_rtas() which uses spin_lock. While the flash is in
progress, rtasd performs scan for any RTAS events that are generated by
the system. rtasd keeps scanning for the RTAS events generated on the
machine. This is performed via workqueue mechanism. The rtas_event_scan()
also uses an RTAS call to scan the events, eventually trying to acquire
the spin_lock before issuing the request.

The flash update takes a while to complete and during this time, any other
RTAS call has to wait. In this case, rtas_event_scan() waits for a long time
on the spin_lock resulting in a soft lockup.

Fix: Just before the flash update is performed, the queued rtas_event_scan()
work item is cancelled from the work queue so that there is no other RTAS
call issued while the flash is in progress. After the flash completes, the
system reboots and the rtas_event_scan() is rescheduled.

      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 
      All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

      powerpc: rtas_flash needs to use rtas_data_buf · bd2b64a1
      由 Milton Miller 提交于 
      When trying to flash a machine via the update_flash command, Anton received the
following error:

    Restarting system.
    FLASH: kernel bug...flash list header addr above 4GB

The code in question has a comment that the flash list should be in
the kernel data and therefore under 4GB:

        /* NOTE: the "first" block list is a global var with no data
         * blocks in the kernel data segment.  We do this because
         * we want to ensure this block_list addr is under 4GB.
         */

Unfortunately the Kconfig option is marked tristate which means the variable
may not be in the kernel data and could be above 4GB.

Instead of relying on the data segment being below 4GB, use the static
data buffer allocated by the kernel for use by rtas.  Since we don't
use the header struct directly anymore, convert it to a simple pointer.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

      proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner · 99b76233
      由 Alexey Dobriyan 提交于 
      Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

      mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). · 20c2df83
      由 Paul Mundt 提交于 
      Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

      [POWERPC] pseries: Force 4k update_flash block and list sizes · ae883cab
      由 John Rose 提交于 
      The enablement of 64k pages on pseries platforms exposed a bug in
the RTAS mechanism for updating firmware.  RTAS assumes 4k for flash
block and list sizes, and use of any other sizes results in a failure,
even though PAPR does not specify any such requirement.

This patch changes the rtas_flash module to force the use of 4k memory
block and list sizes when preparing and sending a firmware image to
RTAS.  The rtas_flash function now uses a slab cache of 4k blocks with
4k alignment, rather than get_zeroed_page(), to allocate the memory for
the flash blocks and lists.  The 4k alignment requirement is specified
in PAPR.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
