commit 72a0c5571351f5184195754d23db3e14495b2080 upstream.

On cris arch, the functions below aren't defined:

  drivers/media/platform/sh_veu.c: In function 'sh_veu_reg_read':

Yet, they're available, as CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP is defined.  What happens
is that asm/io.h was not including asm-generic/iomap.h.

<title>powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contexts</title>

<id>6beceb767ed86175601237fb3f2d2ff9678fca86</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c13f20ac48328b05cd3b8c19e31ed6c132b44b42 upstream.

The VSX MSR bit in the user context indicates if the context contains VSX
state.  Currently we set this when the process has touched VSX at any stage.

Unfortunately, if the user has not provided enough space to save the VSX state,
we can't save it but we currently still set the MSR VSX bit.

This patch changes this to clear the MSR VSX bit when the user doesn't provide
enough space.  This indicates that there is no valid VSX state in the user
context.

This is needed to support get/set/make/swapcontext for applications that use
VSX but only provide a small context.  For example, getcontext in glibc
provides a smaller context since the VSX registers don't need to be saved over
the glibc function call.  But since the program calling getcontext may have
used VSX, the kernel currently says the VSX state is valid when it's not.  If
the returned context is then used in setcontext (ie. a small context without
VSX but with MSR VSX set), the kernel will refuse the context.  This situation
has been reported by the glibc community.

Based on patch from Carlos O'Donell.

commit 631ad691b5818291d89af9be607d2fe40be0886e upstream.

We need add PE to its own PELTV. Otherwise, the errors originated
from the PE might contribute to other PEs. In the result, we can't
clear up the error successfully even we're checking and clearing
errors during access to PCI config space.

commit 11f918d3e2d3861b6931e97b3aa778e4984935aa upstream.

Do it the same way as done in microcode_intel.c: use pr_debug()
for missing firmware files.

There seem to be CPUs out there for which no microcode update
has been submitted to kernel-firmware repo yet resulting in
scary sounding error messages in dmesg:

<title>exec/ptrace: fix get_dumpable() incorrect tests</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d049f74f2dbe71354d43d393ac3a188947811348 upstream.

The get_dumpable() return value is not boolean.  Most users of the
function actually want to be testing for non-SUID_DUMP_USER(1) rather than
SUID_DUMP_DISABLE(0).  The SUID_DUMP_ROOT(2) is also considered a
protected state.  Almost all places did this correctly, excepting the two
places fixed in this patch.

Wrong logic:
    if (dumpable == SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (dumpable == 0) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (!dumpable) { /* be protective */ }

Correct logic:
    if (dumpable != SUID_DUMP_USER) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (dumpable != 1) { /* be protective */ }

Without this patch, if the system had set the sysctl fs/suid_dumpable=2, a
user was able to ptrace attach to processes that had dropped privileges to
that user.  (This may have been partially mitigated if Yama was enabled.)

The macros have been moved into the file that declares get/set_dumpable(),
which means things like the ia64 code can see them too.

commit 418df63adac56841ef6b0f1fcf435bc64d4ed177 upstream.

Commit 455bd4c430b0 ("ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by
recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations") attempted to fix a compliance issue
with the memset return value.  However the memset itself became broken
by that patch for misaligned pointers.

This fixes the above by branching over the entry code from the
misaligned fixup code to avoid reloading the original pointer.

Also, because the function entry alignment is wrong in the Thumb mode
compilation, that fixup code is moved to the end.

While at it, the entry instructions are slightly reworked to help dual
issue pipelines.

commit 455bd4c430b0c0a361f38e8658a0d6cb469942b5 upstream.

Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on
assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions.
The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.

For instance in the following function:

void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
{
	memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
	waiter-&gt;magic = waiter;
	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&amp;waiter-&gt;list);
}

compiled as:

800554d0 &lt;debug_mutex_lock_common&gt;:
800554d0:       e92d4008        push    {r3, lr}
800554d4:       e1a00001        mov     r0, r1
800554d8:       e3a02010        mov     r2, #16 ; 0x10
800554dc:       e3a01011        mov     r1, #17 ; 0x11
800554e0:       eb04426e        bl      80165ea0 &lt;memset&gt;
800554e4:       e1a03000        mov     r3, r0
800554e8:       e583000c        str     r0, [r3, #12]
800554ec:       e5830000        str     r0, [r3]
800554f0:       e5830004        str     r0, [r3, #4]
800554f4:       e8bd8008        pop     {r3, pc}

GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
register/memory corruptions.

This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
existing load/store instructions.
For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:

Step 1
======
Perform the following substitutions:
ip -&gt; r8, then
r0 -&gt; ip,
and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).

Step 2
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:

save r8:
-       str     lr, [sp, #-4]!
+       stmfd   sp!, {r8, lr}

and restore r8 on both exit paths:
-       ldmeqfd sp!, {pc}               @ Now &lt;64 bytes to go.
+       ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc}           @ Now &lt;64 bytes to go.
(...)
        tst     r2, #16
        stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
-       ldr     lr, [sp], #4
+       ldmfd   sp!, {r8, lr}

Step 3
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:

save r8:
-       stmfd   sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+       stmfd   sp!, {r4-r8, lr}

and restore r8 on both exit paths:
        bgt     3b
-       ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
+       ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
(...)
        tst     r2, #16
        stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
-       ldmfd   sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+       ldmfd   sp!, {r4-r8, lr}

Step 4
======
Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

<title>xtensa: don't use alternate signal stack on threads</title>

commit cba9a90053e3b7973eff4f1946f33032e98eeed5 upstream.

According to create_thread(3): "The new thread does not inherit the creating
thread's alternate signal stack". Since commit f9a3879a (Fix sigaltstack
corruption among cloned threads), current-&gt;sas_ss_size is set to 0 for cloned
processes sharing VM with their parent. Don't use the (nonexistent) alternate
signal stack in this case. This has been broken since commit 29c4dfd9 ([XTENSA]
Remove non-rt signal handling).

Fixes the SA_ONSTACK part of the nptl/tst-cancel20 test from uClibc.

commit 201f99f170df14ba52ea4c52847779042b7a623b upstream.

We don't cap the size of buffer from the user so we could write past the
end of the array here.  Only root can write to this file.
