x86/microcode/intel: Check patch signature before saving microcode for early loading

2020-11-24T12:03:10+00:00

commit 1a371e67dc77125736cc56d3a0893f06b75855b6 upstream.

Currently, scan_microcode() leverages microcode_matches() to check
if the microcode matches the CPU by comparing the family and model.
However, the processor stepping and flags of the microcode signature
should also be considered when saving a microcode patch for early
update.

Use find_matching_signature() in scan_microcode() and get rid of the
now-unused microcode_matches() which is a good cleanup in itself.

Complete the verification of the patch being saved for early loading in
save_microcode_patch() directly. This needs to be done there too because
save_mc_for_early() will call save_microcode_patch() too.

The second reason why this needs to be done is because the loader still
tries to support, at least hypothetically, mixed-steppings systems and
thus adds all patches to the cache that belong to the same CPU model
albeit with different steppings.

For example:

  microcode: CPU: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x2, rev=0xd6
  microcode: mc_saved[0]: sig=0x906e9, pf=0x2a, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23
  microcode: mc_saved[1]: sig=0x906ea, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19000, date = 2020-04-27
  microcode: mc_saved[2]: sig=0x906eb, pf=0x2, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23
  microcode: mc_saved[3]: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19000, date = 2020-04-27
  microcode: mc_saved[4]: sig=0x906ed, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23

The patch which is being saved for early loading, however, can only be
the one which fits the CPU this runs on so do the signature verification
before saving.

 [ bp: Do signature verification in save_microcode_patch()
       and rewrite commit message. ]

s390/cpum_sf.c: fix file permission for cpum_sfb_size

2020-11-24T12:03:10+00:00

commit 78d732e1f326f74f240d416af9484928303d9951 upstream.

This file is installed by the s390 CPU Measurement sampling
facility device driver to export supported minimum and
maximum sample buffer sizes.
This file is read by lscpumf tool to display the details
of the device driver capabilities. The lscpumf tool might
be invoked by a non-root user. In this case it does not
print anything because the file contents can not be read.

Fix this by allowing read access for all users. Reading
the file contents is ok, changing the file contents is
left to the root user only.

For further reference and details see:

mac80211: free sta in sta_info_insert_finish() on errors

2020-11-24T12:03:09+00:00

commit 7bc40aedf24d31d8bea80e1161e996ef4299fb10 upstream.

If sta_info_insert_finish() fails, we currently keep the station
around and free it only in the caller, but there's only one such
caller and it always frees it immediately.

As syzbot found, another consequence of this split is that we can
put things that sleep only into __cleanup_single_sta() and not in
sta_info_free(), but this is the only place that requires such of
sta_info_free() now.

Change this to free the station in sta_info_insert_finish(), in
which case we can still sleep. This will also let us unify the
cleanup code later.

mac80211: minstrel: fix tx status processing corner case

2020-11-24T12:03:09+00:00

commit b2911a84396f72149dce310a3b64d8948212c1b3 upstream.

Some drivers fill the status rate list without setting the rate index after
the final rate to -1. minstrel_ht already deals with this, but minstrel
doesn't, which causes it to get stuck at the lowest rate on these drivers.

Fix this by checking the count as well.

mac80211: minstrel: remove deferred sampling code

2020-11-24T12:03:09+00:00

commit 4fe40b8e1566dad04c87fbf299049a1d0d4bd58d upstream.

Deferring sampling attempts to the second stage has some bad interactions
with drivers that process the rate table in hardware and use the probe flag
to indicate probing packets (e.g. most mt76 drivers). On affected drivers
it can lead to probing not working at all.

If the link conditions turn worse, it might not be such a good idea to
do a lot of sampling for lower rates in this case.

Fix this by simply skipping the sample attempt instead of deferring it,
but keep the checks that would allow it to be sampled if it was skipped
too often, but only if it has less than 95% success probability.

Also ensure that IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE is set for all probing
packets.

xtensa: disable preemption around cache alias management calls

2020-11-24T12:03:08+00:00

commit 3a860d165eb5f4d7cf0bf81ef6a5b5c5e1754422 upstream.

Although cache alias management calls set up and tear down TLB entries
and fast_second_level_miss is able to restore TLB entry should it be
evicted they absolutely cannot preempt each other because they use the
same TLBTEMP area for different purposes.
Disable preemption around all cache alias management calls to enforce
that.

regulator: fix memory leak with repeated set_machine_constraints()

commit 57a6ad482af256b2a13de14194fb8f67c1a65f10 upstream.

Fixed commit introduced a possible second call to
set_machine_constraints() and that allocates memory for
rdev->constraints. Move the allocation to the caller so
it's easier to manage and done once.

iio: accel: kxcjk1013: Replace is_smo8500_device with an acpi_type enum

2020-11-24T12:03:07+00:00

commit 11e94f28c3de35d5ad1ac6a242a5b30f4378991a upstream.

Replace the boolean is_smo8500_device variable with an acpi_type enum.

For now this can be either ACPI_GENERIC or ACPI_SMO8500, this is a
preparation patch for adding special handling for the KIOX010A ACPI HID,
which will add a ACPI_KIOX010A acpi_type to the introduced enum.

For stable as needed as precursor for next patch.

ext4: fix bogus warning in ext4_update_dx_flag()

2020-11-24T12:03:07+00:00

commit f902b216501094495ff75834035656e8119c537f upstream.

The idea of the warning in ext4_update_dx_flag() is that we should warn
when we are clearing EXT4_INODE_INDEX on a filesystem with metadata
checksums enabled since after clearing the flag, checksums for internal
htree nodes will become invalid. So there's no need to warn (or actually
do anything) when EXT4_INODE_INDEX is not set.
