commit 39380b80d72723282f0ea1d1bbf2294eae45013e upstream.

Currently it's possible for broken (or malicious) userspace to flood a
kernel log indefinitely with messages a-la

	Program dmidecode tried to access /dev/mem between f0000-&gt;100000

because range_is_allowed() is case of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM being turned on
dumps this information each and every time devmem_is_allowed() fails.

Reportedly userspace that is able to trigger contignuous flow of these
messages exists.

It would be possible to rate limit this message, but that'd have a
questionable value; the administrator wouldn't get information about all
the failing accessess, so then the information would be both superfluous
and incomplete at the same time :)

Returning EPERM (which is what is actually happening) is enough indication
for userspace what has happened; no need to log this particular error as
some sort of special condition.

commit b1132deac01c2332d234fa821a70022796b79182 upstream.

get_random_long() reads from the get_random_int_hash array using an
unsigned long pointer.  For this code to be guaranteed correct on all
architectures, the array must be aligned to an unsigned long boundary.

<title>vTPM: fix memory allocation flag for rtce buffer at kernel boot</title>

commit 60ecd86c4d985750efa0ea3d8610972b09951715 upstream.

At ibm vtpm initialzation, tpm_ibmvtpm_probe() registers its interrupt
handler, ibmvtpm_interrupt, which calls ibmvtpm_crq_process to allocate
memory for rtce buffer.  The current code uses 'GFP_KERNEL' as the
type of kernel memory allocation, which resulted a warning at
kernel/lockdep.c.  This patch uses 'GFP_ATOMIC' instead so that the
allocation is high-priority and does not sleep.

<title>ipmi: move timer init to before irq is setup</title>

commit 27f972d3e00b50639deb4cc1392afaeb08d3cecc upstream.

We encountered a panic on boot in ipmi_si on a dell per320 due to an
uninitialized timer as follows.

static int smi_start_processing(void       *send_info,
                                ipmi_smi_t intf)
{
        /* Try to claim any interrupts. */
        if (new_smi-&gt;irq_setup)
                new_smi-&gt;irq_setup(new_smi);

 --&gt; IRQ arrives here and irq handler tries to modify uninitialized timer

    which triggers BUG_ON(!timer-&gt;function) in __mod_timer().

 Call Trace:
   &lt;IRQ&gt;
   [&lt;ffffffffa0532617&gt;] start_new_msg+0x47/0x80 [ipmi_si]

        /* Set up the timer that drives the interface. */
        setup_timer(&amp;new_smi-&gt;si_timer, smi_timeout, (long)new_smi);

The following patch fixes the problem.

<title>ipmi: fix timeout calculation when bmc is disconnected</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e21404dc0ac7ac971c1e36274b48bb460463f4e5 upstream.

Loading ipmi_si module while bmc is disconnected, we found the timeout
is longer than 5 secs.  Actually it takes about 3 mins and 20
secs.(HZ=250)

error message as below:
  Dec 12 19:08:59 linux kernel: IPMI BT: timeout in RD_WAIT [ ] 1 retries left
  Dec 12 19:08:59 linux kernel: BT: write 4 bytes seq=0x01 03 18 00 01
  [...]
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI BT: timeout in RD_WAIT [ ]
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: failed 2 retries, sending error response
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI: BT reset (takes 5 secs)
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI BT: flag reset [ ]

Function wait_for_msg_done() use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) to
sleep 1 tick, so we should subtract jiffies_to_usecs(1) instead of 100
usecs from timeout.

commit 8b572a4200828b4e75cc22ed2f494b58d5372d65 upstream.

In needs_ilk_vtd_wa(), we pass in the GPU device but compared it against
the ids for the mobile GPU and the mobile host bridge. That latter is
impossible and so likely was just a typo for the desktop GPU device id
(which is also buggy).

commit 8b572a4200828b4e75cc22ed2f494b58d5372d65 upstream.

In needs_ilk_vtd_wa(), we pass in the GPU device but compared it against
the ids for the mobile GPU and the mobile host bridge. That latter is
impossible and so likely was just a typo for the desktop GPU device id
(which is also buggy).

Fixes commit da88a5f7f7d434e2cde1b3e19d952e6d84533662

commit 9d75f08946e8485109458ccf16f714697c207f41 upstream.

tpm_ibmvtpm_probe() calls ibmvtpm_reset_crq(ibmvtpm) without having yet
set the virtual device in the ibmvtpm structure. So in ibmvtpm_reset_crq,
the phype call contains empty unit addresses, ibmvtpm-&gt;vdev-&gt;unit_address.

commit 62dfd912ab3b5405b6fe72d0135c37e9648071f1 upstream.

Problem: When IMA and VTPM are both enabled in kernel config,
kernel hangs during bootup on LE OS.

Why?: IMA calls tpm_pcr_read() which results in tpm_ibmvtpm_send
and tpm_ibmtpm_recv getting called. A trace showed that
tpm_ibmtpm_recv was hanging.

Resolution: tpm_ibmtpm_recv was hanging because tpm_ibmvtpm_send
was sending CRQ message that probably did not make much sense
to phype because of Endianness. The fix below sends correctly
converted CRQ for LE. This was not caught before because it
seems IMA is not enabled by default in kernel config and
IMA exercises this particular code path in vtpm.

Tested with IMA and VTPM enabled in kernel config and VTPM
enabled on both a BE OS and a LE OS ppc64 lpar. This exercised
CRQ and TPM command code paths in vtpm.
Patch is against Peter's tpmdd tree on github which included
Vicky's previous vtpm le patches.
