cpufreq: Fix cpufreq regression after suspend/resume

2013-07-13T18:42:27+00:00

commit f51e1eb63d9c28cec188337ee656a13be6980cfd upstream.

Toralf Förster reported that the cpufreq ondemand governor behaves erratically
(doesn't scale well) after a suspend/resume cycle. The problem was that the
cpufreq subsystem's idea of the cpu frequencies differed from the actual
frequencies set in the hardware after a suspend/resume cycle. Toralf bisected
the problem to commit a66b2e5 (cpufreq: Preserve sysfs files across
suspend/resume).

Among other (harmless) things, that commit skipped the call to
cpufreq_update_policy() in the resume path. But cpufreq_update_policy() plays
an important role during resume, because it is responsible for checking if
the BIOS changed the cpu frequencies behind our back and resynchronize the
cpufreq subsystem's knowledge of the cpu frequencies, and update them
accordingly.

So, restore the call to cpufreq_update_policy() in the resume path to fix
the cpufreq regression.

SCSI: sd: Fix parsing of 'temporary ' cache mode prefix

2013-07-13T18:42:27+00:00

commit 2ee3e26c673e75c05ef8b914f54fadee3d7b9c88 upstream.

Commit 39c60a0948cc '[SCSI] sd: fix array cache flushing bug causing
performance problems' added temp as a pointer to "temporary " and used
sizeof(temp) - 1 as its length.  But sizeof(temp) is the size of the
pointer, not the size of the string constant.  Change temp to a static
array so that sizeof() does what was intended.

Revert "serial: 8250_pci: add support for another kind of NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller"

2013-07-13T18:42:26+00:00

commit 828c6a102b1f2b8583fadc0e779c46b31d448f0b upstream.

This reverts commit 8d2f8cd424ca0b99001f3ff4f5db87c4e525f366.

As reported by Stefan, this device already works with the parport_serial
driver, so the 8250_pci driver should not also try to grab it as well.

tty: Reset itty for other pty

2013-07-13T18:42:26+00:00

commit 64e377dcd7d75c241d614458e9619d3445de44ef upstream.

Commit 19ffd68f816878aed456d5e87697f43bd9e3bd2b
('pty: Remove redundant itty reset') introduced a regression
whereby the other pty's linkage is not cleared on teardown.
This triggers a false positive diagnostic in testing.

Properly reset the itty linkage.

block: do not pass disk names as format strings

2013-07-13T18:42:26+00:00

commit ffc8b30866879ed9ba62bd0a86fecdbd51cd3d19 upstream.

Disk names may contain arbitrary strings, so they must not be
interpreted as format strings.  It seems that only md allows arbitrary
strings to be used for disk names, but this could allow for a local
memory corruption from uid 0 into ring 0.

charger-manager: Ensure event is not used as format string

commit 3594f4c0d7bc51e3a7e6d73c44e368ae079e42f3 upstream.

The exposed interface for cm_notify_event() could result in the event msg
string being parsed as a format string. Make sure it is only used as a
literal string.

drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c: use kzalloc() for failing hardware

2013-07-13T18:42:26+00:00

commit 542db01579fbb7ea7d1f7bb9ddcef1559df660b2 upstream.

In drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data() allocates a memory
area with kmalloc in line 2885.

  2885         cgc->buffer = kmalloc(blocksize, GFP_KERNEL);
  2886         if (cgc->buffer == NULL)
  2887                 return -ENOMEM;

In line 2908 we can find the copy_to_user function:

  2908         if (!ret && copy_to_user(arg, cgc->buffer, blocksize))

The cgc->buffer is never cleaned and initialized before this function.
If ret = 0 with the previous basic block, it's possible to display some
memory bytes in kernel space from userspace.

When we read a block from the disk it normally fills the ->buffer but if
the drive is malfunctioning there is a chance that it would only be
partially filled.  The result is an leak information to userspace.

Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "This is a set of seven bug fixes.  Several fcoe fixes for locking
  problems, initiator issues and a VLAN API change, all of which could
  eventually lead to data corruption, one fix for a qla2xxx locking
  problem which could lead to multiple completions of the same request
  (and subsequent data corruption) and a use after free in the ipr
  driver.  Plus one minor MAINTAINERS file update"

(only six bugfixes in this pull, since I had already pulled the fcoe API
fix directly from Robert Love)
