commit 2f964780c03b73de269b08d12aff96a9618d13f3 upstream.

Format specifier %p can leak kernel addresses while not valuing the
kptr_restrict system settings. When kptr_restrict is set to (1), kernel
pointers printed using the %pK format specifier will be replaced with
Zeros. Debugging Note : &amp;pK prints only Zeros as address. If you need
actual address information, write 0 to kptr_restrict.

echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict

[Found by poking around in a random vendor kernel tree, it would be nice
if someone would actually send these types of patches upstream - gkh]

<title>USB: avoid left shift by -1</title>

commit 53e5f36fbd2453ad69a3369a1db62dc06c30a4aa upstream.

UBSAN complains about a left shift by -1 in proc_do_submiturb().  This
can occur when an URB is submitted for a bulk or control endpoint on
a high-speed device, since the code doesn't bother to check the
endpoint type; normally only interrupt or isochronous endpoints have
a nonzero bInterval value.

Aside from the fact that the operation is illegal, it shouldn't matter
because the result isn't used.  Still, in theory it could cause a
hardware exception or other problem, so we should work around it.
This patch avoids doing the left shift unless the shift amount is &gt;= 0.

The same piece of code has another problem.  When checking the device
speed (the exponential encoding for interrupt endpoints is used only
by high-speed or faster devices), we need to look for speed &gt;=
USB_SPEED_SUPER as well as speed == USB_SPEED HIGH.  The patch adds
this check.

<title>USB: usbfs: don't leak kernel data in siginfo</title>

<content type='text'>
When a signal is delivered, the information in the siginfo structure
is copied to userspace.  Good security practice dicatates that the
unused fields in this structure should be initialized to 0 so that
random kernel stack data isn't exposed to the user.  This patch adds
such an initialization to the two places where usbfs raises signals.

<title>USB: usbfs: allow URBs to be reaped after disconnection</title>

<id>3f2cee73b650921b2e214bf487b2061a1c266504</id>
<content type='text'>
The usbfs API has a peculiar hole: Users are not allowed to reap their
URBs after the device has been disconnected.  There doesn't seem to be
any good reason for this; it is an ad-hoc inconsistency.

The patch allows users to issue the USBDEVFS_REAPURB and
USBDEVFS_REAPURBNDELAY ioctls (together with their 32-bit counterparts
on 64-bit systems) even after the device is gone.  If no URBs are
pending for a disconnected device then the ioctls will return -ENODEV
rather than -EAGAIN, because obviously no new URBs will ever be able
to complete.

The patch also adds a new capability flag for
USBDEVFS_GET_CAPABILITIES to indicate that the reap-after-disconnect
feature is supported.

usbfs allows user space to pass down an URB which sets URB_SHORT_NOT_OK
for output URBs. That causes usbcore to log messages without limit
for a nonsensical disallowed combination. The fix is to silently drop
the attribute in usbfs.
The problem is reported to exist since 3.14
