modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race.

2016-03-16T15:42:21+00:00

commit 8244062ef1e54502ef55f54cced659913f244c3e upstream.

For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables.
There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the
module's init section.  There's also a cut-down version that only
contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core
section.

After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch
the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core
versions.  We do this under the module_mutex.

However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses
preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because
it's used in the oops path.  It's also used in /proc/kallsyms.
There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can
get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact
this is what I saw when trying to reproduce.

By grouping these variables together, we can use a
carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the
other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU
callback, so that's safe).  We allocate the init one at the end of the
module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module
itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module
core, but that's probably overkill).

[ Rebased for 4.4-stable and older, because the following changes aren't
  in the older trees:
  - e0224418516b4d8a6c2160574bac18447c354ef0: adds arg to is_core_symbol
  - 7523e4dc5057e157212b4741abd6256e03404cf1: module_init/module_core/init_size/core_size
    become init_layout.base/core_layout.base/init_layout.size/core_layout.size.

efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-03-16T15:42:21+00:00

commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

efi: Make our variable validation list include the guid

2016-03-16T15:42:21+00:00

commit 8282f5d9c17fe15a9e658c06e3f343efae1a2a2f upstream.

All the variables in this list so far are defined to be in the global
namespace in the UEFI spec, so this just further ensures we're
validating the variables we think we are.

Including the guid for entries will become more important in future
patches when we decide whether or not to allow deletion of variables
based on presence in this list.

commit 73500267c930baadadb0d02284909731baf151f7 upstream.

This adds ucs2_utf8size(), which tells us how big our ucs2 string is in

tracing: Fix check for cpu online when event is disabled

2016-03-16T15:42:20+00:00

commit dc17147de328a74bbdee67c1bf37d2f1992de756 upstream.

Commit f37755490fe9b ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added
a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is
online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection.

Commit 3a630178fd5f3 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints
are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that
are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if
a trace event was enabled. Commit f37755490fe9b only stopped the warnings
when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace
event was called when disabled.

To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added
to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that
it may be used now and in the future.

libata: Align ata_device's id on a cacheline

2016-03-09T23:33:26+00:00

commit 4ee34ea3a12396f35b26d90a094c75db95080baa upstream.

The id buffer in ata_device is a DMA target, but it isn't explicitly
cacheline aligned. Due to this, adjacent fields can be overwritten with
stale data from memory on non coherent architectures. As a result, the
kernel is sometimes unable to communicate with an ATA device.

Fix this by ensuring that the id buffer is cacheline aligned.

This issue is similar to that fixed by Commit 84bda12af31f
("libata: align ap->sector_buf").

libata: fix HDIO_GET_32BIT ioctl

2016-03-09T23:33:26+00:00

commit 287e6611ab1eac76c2c5ebf6e345e04c80ca9c61 upstream.

As reported by Soohoon Lee, the HDIO_GET_32BIT ioctl does not
work correctly in compat mode with libata.

I have investigated the issue further and found multiple problems
that all appeared with the same commit that originally introduced
HDIO_GET_32BIT handling in libata back in linux-2.6.8 and presumably
also linux-2.4, as the code uses "copy_to_user(arg, &val, 1)" to copy
a 'long' variable containing either 0 or 1 to user space.

The problems with this are:

* On big-endian machines, this will always write a zero because it
  stores the wrong byte into user space.

* In compat mode, the upper three bytes of the variable are updated
  by the compat_hdio_ioctl() function, but they now contain
  uninitialized stack data.

* The hdparm tool calling this ioctl uses a 'static long' variable
  to store the result. This means at least the upper bytes are
  initialized to zero, but calling another ioctl like HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT
  would fill them with data that remains stale when the low byte
  is overwritten. Fortunately libata doesn't implement any of the
  affected ioctl commands, so this would only happen when we query
  both an IDE and an ATA device in the same command such as
  "hdparm -N -c /dev/hda /dev/sda"

* The libata code for unknown reasons started using ATA_IOC_GET_IO32
  and ATA_IOC_SET_IO32 as aliases for HDIO_GET_32BIT and HDIO_SET_32BIT,
  while the ioctl commands that were added later use the normal
  HDIO_* names. This is harmless but rather confusing.

This addresses all four issues by changing the code to use put_user()
on an 'unsigned long' variable in HDIO_GET_32BIT, like the IDE subsystem
does, and by clarifying the names of the ioctl commands.

ses: fix additional element traversal bug

2016-03-03T23:06:50+00:00

commit 5e1033561da1152c57b97ee84371dba2b3d64c25 upstream.

KASAN found that our additional element processing scripts drop off
the end of the VPD page into unallocated space.  The reason is that
not every element has additional information but our traversal
routines think they do, leading to them expecting far more additional
information than is present.  Fix this by adding a gate to the
traversal routine so that it only processes elements that are expected
to have additional information (list is in SES-2 section 6.1.13.1:
Additional Element Status diagnostic page overview)
