commit c2a2876e863356b092967ea62bebdb4dd663af80 upstream.

There is a bug introduced with commit 27c2127 that causes
devices which are hot unplugged and then hot-replugged to
not have per-device dma_ops set. This causes these devices
to not function correctly. Fixed with this patch.

<title>KVM: x86: invalid opcode oops on SET_SREGS with OSXSAVE bit set (CVE-2012-4461)</title>

commit 6d1068b3a98519247d8ba4ec85cd40ac136dbdf9 upstream.

On hosts without the XSAVE support unprivileged local user can trigger
oops similar to the one below by setting X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit in guest
cr4 register using KVM_SET_SREGS ioctl and later issuing KVM_RUN
ioctl.

QEMU first retrieves the supported features via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
and then sets them later. So guest's X86_FEATURE_XSAVE should be masked
out on hosts without X86_FEATURE_XSAVE, making kvm_set_cr4 with
X86_CR4_OSXSAVE fail. Userspaces that allow specifying guest cpuid with
X86_FEATURE_XSAVE even on hosts that do not support it, might be
susceptible to this attack from inside the guest as well.

Allow setting X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit only if host has XSAVE support.

<title>KVM: Ensure all vcpus are consistent with in-kernel irqchip settings</title>

commit 3e515705a1f46beb1c942bb8043c16f8ac7b1e9e upstream.

If some vcpus are created before KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, then
irqchip_in_kernel() and vcpu-&gt;arch.apic will be inconsistent, leading
to potential NULL pointer dereferences.

Fix by:
- ensuring that no vcpus are installed when KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is called
- ensuring that a vcpu has an apic if it is installed after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP

This is somewhat long winded because vcpu-&gt;arch.apic is created without
kvm-&gt;lock held.

Based on earlier patch by Michael Ellerman.

<title>KVM: x86: Prevent starting PIT timers in the absence of irqchip support</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 0924ab2cfa98b1ece26c033d696651fd62896c69 upstream.

User space may create the PIT and forgets about setting up the irqchips.
In that case, firing PIT IRQs will crash the host:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000128
IP: [&lt;ffffffffa10f6280&gt;] kvm_set_irq+0x30/0x170 [kvm]

 [&lt;ffffffff81075c8e&gt;] kthread+0x7e/0x90
 [&lt;ffffffff815a4474&gt;] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10

Prevent this by checking the irqchip mode before starting a timer. We
can't deny creating the PIT if the irqchips aren't set up yet as
current user land expects this order to work.

commit d780592b99d7d8a5ff905f6bacca519d4a342c76 upstream.

So far kvm_arch_vcpu_setup is responsible for freeing the vcpu struct if
it fails. Move this confusing resonsibility back into the hands of
kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu. Only kvm_arch_vcpu_setup of x86 is affected,
all other archs cannot fail.

Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side
struct sigaction declarations'.

flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer
is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined.  Define the
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this.

commit 66db3feb486c01349f767b98ebb10b0c3d2d021b upstream.

The increment of "to" in copy_user_handle_tail() will have incremented
before a failure has been noted.  This causes us to skip a byte in the
failure case.

Only do the increment when assured there is no failure.

commit f6a70a07079518280022286a1dceb797d12e1edf upstream.

Our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation calls __tlb_flush_mm() with
&amp;init_mm as argument. __tlb_flush_mm() however will only flush tlbs
for the passed in mm if its mm_cpumask is not empty.

For the init_mm however its mm_cpumask has never any bits set. Which in
turn means that our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation doesn't
work at all.

This can be easily verified with a vmalloc/vfree loop which allocates
a page, writes to it and then frees the page again. A crash will follow
almost instantly.

To fix this remove the cpumask_empty() check in __tlb_flush_mm() since
there shouldn't be too many mms with a zero mm_cpumask, besides the
init_mm of course.

<title>perf,x86: fix wrmsr_on_cpu() warning on suspend/resume</title>

commit 2a6e06b2aed6995af401dcd4feb5e79a0c7ea554 upstream.

Commit 1d9d8639c063 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after
suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling
after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the
DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering.

init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU
cross-calls to do the MSR update.  Which is not really valid at the
early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable.  Now, it all
happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single()
ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number
matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead.

This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the
wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

commit 1d9d8639c063caf6efc2447f5f26aa637f844ff6 upstream.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS)
after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked
on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly
by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS
measurement to crash when running on CPU0.

The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore
the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0,
the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.
