commit 6f963ec2d6bf2476a16799eece920acb2100ff1c upstream.

When unbinding and rebinding the driver on a system with a card in PHB0, this
error condition is reached after a few attempts:

ERROR: Bad of_node_put() on /pciex@3fffe40000000

commit 13648b0118a24f4fc76c34e6c7b6ccf447e46a2a upstream.

/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps currently don't annotate stack vma with "[stack]"
This is because KSTK_ESP ie expected to return usermode SP of tsk while
currently it returns the kernel mode SP of a sleeping tsk.

While the fix is trivial, we also need to adjust the ARC kernel stack
unwinder to not use KSTK_SP and friends any more.

<title>KVM: MIPS: Fix trace event to save PC directly</title>

commit b3cffac04eca9af46e1e23560a8ee22b1bd36d43 upstream.

Currently the guest exit trace event saves the VCPU pointer to the
structure, and the guest PC is retrieved by dereferencing it when the
event is printed rather than directly from the trace record. This isn't
safe as the printing may occur long afterwards, after the PC has changed
and potentially after the VCPU has been freed. Usually this results in
the same (wrong) PC being printed for multiple trace events. It also
isn't portable as userland has no way to access the VCPU data structure
when interpreting the trace record itself.

Lets save the actual PC in the structure so that the correct value is
accessible later.

<title>KVM: emulate: fix CMPXCHG8B on 32-bit hosts</title>

commit 4ff6f8e61eb7f96d3ca535c6d240f863ccd6fb7d upstream.

This has been broken for a long time: it broke first in 2.6.35, then was
almost fixed in 2.6.36 but this one-liner slipped through the cracks.
The bug shows up as an infinite loop in Windows 7 (and newer) boot on
32-bit hosts without EPT.

Windows uses CMPXCHG8B to write to page tables, which causes a
page fault if running without EPT; the emulator is then called from
kvm_mmu_page_fault.  The loop then happens if the higher 4 bytes are
not 0; the common case for this is that the NX bit (bit 63) is 1.

commit 06c8173eb92bbfc03a0fe8bb64315857d0badd06 upstream.

Commit:

  f31a9f7c7169 ("x86/xsaves: Use xsaves/xrstors to save and restore xsave area")

introduced alternative instructions for XSAVES/XRSTORS and commit:

  adb9d526e982 ("x86/xsaves: Add xsaves and xrstors support for booting time")

added support for the XSAVES/XRSTORS instructions at boot time.

Unfortunately both failed to properly protect them against faulting:

The 'xstate_fault' macro will use the closest label named '1'
backward and that ends up in the .altinstr_replacement section
rather than in .text. This means that the kernel will never find
in the __ex_table the .text address where this instruction might
fault, leading to serious problems if userspace manages to
trigger the fault.

commit 956421fbb74c3a6261903f3836c0740187cf038b upstream.

'ret_from_fork' checks TIF_IA32 to determine whether 'pt_regs' and
the related state make sense for 'ret_from_sys_call'.  This is
entirely the wrong check.  TS_COMPAT would make a little more
sense, but there's really no point in keeping this optimization
at all.

This fixes a return to the wrong user CS if we came from int
0x80 in a 64-bit task.

commit 1ea76fbadd667b19c4fa4466f3a3b55a505e83d9 upstream.

Commit b568b8601f05 ("Treat SCI interrupt as normal GSI interrupt")
accidently removes support of legacy PIC interrupt when fixing a
regression for Xen, which causes a nasty regression on HP/Compaq
nc6000 where we fail to register the ACPI interrupt, and thus
lose eg. thermal notifications leading a potentially overheated
machine.

So reintroduce support of legacy PIC based ACPI SCI interrupt.

commit 1b43d7125f3b6f7d46e72da64f65f3187a83b66b upstream.

pmc_dbgfs_unregister() will be called when pmc-&gt;dbgfs_dir is unconditionally
NULL on error path in pmc_dbgfs_register(). To prevent this we move the
assignment to where is should be.

<title>x86, mm/ASLR: Fix stack randomization on 64-bit systems</title>

<id>805f25c4d886cfff790fa8f309e432dd7923d2c2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4e7c22d447bb6d7e37bfe39ff658486ae78e8d77 upstream.

The issue is that the stack for processes is not properly randomized on
64 bit architectures due to an integer overflow.

The affected function is randomize_stack_top() in file
"fs/binfmt_elf.c":

  static unsigned long randomize_stack_top(unsigned long stack_top)
  {
           unsigned int random_variable = 0;

           if ((current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_RANDOMIZE) &amp;&amp;
                   !(current-&gt;personality &amp; ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE)) {
                   random_variable = get_random_int() &amp; STACK_RND_MASK;
                   random_variable &lt;&lt;= PAGE_SHIFT;
           }
           return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) + random_variable;
           return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) - random_variable;
  }

Note that, it declares the "random_variable" variable as "unsigned int".
Since the result of the shifting operation between STACK_RND_MASK (which
is 0x3fffff on x86_64, 22 bits) and PAGE_SHIFT (which is 12 on x86_64):

	  random_variable &lt;&lt;= PAGE_SHIFT;

then the two leftmost bits are dropped when storing the result in the
"random_variable". This variable shall be at least 34 bits long to hold
the (22+12) result.

These two dropped bits have an impact on the entropy of process stack.
Concretely, the total stack entropy is reduced by four: from 2^28 to
2^30 (One fourth of expected entropy).

This patch restores back the entropy by correcting the types involved
in the operations in the functions randomize_stack_top() and
stack_maxrandom_size().

The successful fix can be tested with:

  $ for i in `seq 1 10`; do cat /proc/self/maps | grep stack; done
  7ffeda566000-7ffeda587000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7fff5a332000-7fff5a353000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7ffcdb7a1000-7ffcdb7c2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  7ffd5e2c4000-7ffd5e2e5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]
  ...

Once corrected, the leading bytes should be between 7ffc and 7fff,
rather than always being 7fff.

<title>x86/efi: Avoid triple faults during EFI mixed mode calls</title>

commit 96738c69a7fcdbf0d7c9df0c8a27660011e82a7b upstream.

Andy pointed out that if an NMI or MCE is received while we're in the
middle of an EFI mixed mode call a triple fault will occur. This can
happen, for example, when issuing an EFI mixed mode call while running
perf.

The reason for the triple fault is that we execute the mixed mode call
in 32-bit mode with paging disabled but with 64-bit kernel IDT handlers
installed throughout the call.

At Andy's suggestion, stop playing the games we currently do at runtime,
such as disabling paging and installing a 32-bit GDT for __KERNEL_CS. We
can simply switch to the __KERNEL32_CS descriptor before invoking
firmware services, and run in compatibility mode. This way, if an
NMI/MCE does occur the kernel IDT handler will execute correctly, since
it'll jump to __KERNEL_CS automatically.

However, this change is only possible post-ExitBootServices(). Before
then the firmware "owns" the machine and expects for its 32-bit IDT
handlers to be left intact to service interrupts, etc.

So, we now need to distinguish between early boot and runtime
invocations of EFI services. During early boot, we need to restore the
GDT that the firmware expects to be present. We can only jump to the
__KERNEL32_CS code segment for mixed mode calls after ExitBootServices()
has been invoked.

A liberal sprinkling of comments in the thunking code should make the
differences in early and late environments more apparent.
