commit 92b4423e3a0bc5d43ecde4bcad871f8b5ba04efd upstream.

This is a forward-port of the original patch from Andrzej Hajda,
he said:

"IS_ERR_VALUE should be used only with unsigned long type.
Otherwise it can work incorrectly. To achieve this function
xt_percpu_counter_alloc is modified to return unsigned long,
and its result is assigned to temporary variable to perform
error checking, before assigning to .pcnt field.

The patch follows conclusion from discussion on LKML [1][2].

[2]: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2150581"

Original patch from Andrzej is here:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/582970/

This patch has clashed with input validation fixes for x_tables.

<title>netfilter: x_tables: speed up jump target validation</title>

commit f4dc77713f8016d2e8a3295e1c9c53a21f296def upstream.

The dummy ruleset I used to test the original validation change was broken,
most rules were unreachable and were not tested by mark_source_chains().

In some cases rulesets that used to load in a few seconds now require
several minutes.

sample ruleset that shows the behaviour:

echo "*filter"
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
        printf ":chain_%06x - [0:0]\n" $i
done
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
done
echo COMMIT

[ pipe result into iptables-restore ]

This ruleset will be about 74mbyte in size, with ~500k searches
though all 500k[1] rule entries. iptables-restore will take forever
(gave up after 10 minutes)

Instead of always searching the entire blob for a match, fill an
array with the start offsets of every single ipt_entry struct,
then do a binary search to check if the jump target is present or not.

After this change ruleset restore times get again close to what one
gets when reverting 36472341017529e (~3 seconds on my workstation).

[1] every user-defined rule gets an implicit RETURN, so we get
300k jumps + 100k userchains + 100k returns -&gt; 500k rule entries

Fixes: 36472341017529e ("netfilter: x_tables: validate targets of jumps")

commit ce683e5f9d045e5d67d1312a42b359cb2ab2a13c upstream.

We're currently asserting that targetoff + targetsize &lt;= nextoff.

Extend it to also check that targetoff is &gt;= sizeof(xt_entry).
Since this is generic code, add an argument pointing to the start of the
match/target, we can then derive the base structure size from the delta.

We also need the e-&gt;elems pointer in a followup change to validate matches.

commit fc1221b3a163d1386d1052184202d5dc50d302d1 upstream.

32bit rulesets have different layout and alignment requirements, so once
more integrity checks get added to xt_check_entry_offsets it will reject
well-formed 32bit rulesets.

commit 7d35812c3214afa5b37a675113555259cfd67b98 upstream.

Currently arp/ip and ip6tables each implement a short helper to check that
the target offset is large enough to hold one xt_entry_target struct and
that t-&gt;u.target_size fits within the current rule.

Unfortunately these checks are not sufficient.

To avoid adding new tests to all of ip/ip6/arptables move the current
checks into a helper, then extend this helper in followup patches.

The data extensions in ipset lacked the proper memory alignment and
thus could lead to kernel crash on several architectures. Therefore
the structures have been reorganized and alignment attributes added
where needed. The patch was tested on armv7h by Gerhard Wiesinger and
on x86_64, sparc64 by Jozsef Kadlecsik.
