[ Upstream commit c0c0c50ff7c3e331c90bab316d21f724fb9e1994 ]

When dealing with icmp messages, the skb-&gt;data points the
ip header that triggered the sending of the icmp message.

In gre_cisco_err(), the parse_gre_header() is called, and the
iptunnel_pull_header() is called to pull the skb at the end of
the parse_gre_header(), so the skb-&gt;data doesn't point the
inner ip header.

Unfortunately, the ipgre_err still needs those ip addresses in
inner ip header to look up tunnel by ip_tunnel_lookup().

So just use icmp_hdr() to get inner ip header instead of skb-&gt;data.

[ Upstream commit a452ce345d63ddf92cd101e4196569f8718ad319 ]

I see a memory leak when using a transparent HTTP proxy using TPROXY
together with TCP early demux and Kernel v3.8.13.15 (Ubuntu stable):

unreferenced object 0xffff88008cba4a40 (size 1696):
  comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4294944115 (age 8907.520s)

    [&lt;ffffffff81209d86&gt;] add_interrupt_randomness+0x39/0x157

But there are many more, resulting in the machine going OOM after some
days.

From looking at the TPROXY code, and with help from Florian, I see
that the memory leak is introduced in tcp_v4_early_demux():

  void tcp_v4_early_demux(struct sk_buff *skb)
  {
    /* ... */

    iph = ip_hdr(skb);
    th = tcp_hdr(skb);

    if (th-&gt;doff &lt; sizeof(struct tcphdr) / 4)
        return;

    sk = __inet_lookup_established(dev_net(skb-&gt;dev), &amp;tcp_hashinfo,
                       iph-&gt;saddr, th-&gt;source,
                       iph-&gt;daddr, ntohs(th-&gt;dest),
                       skb-&gt;skb_iif);
    if (sk) {
        skb-&gt;sk = sk;

where the socket is assigned unconditionally to skb-&gt;sk, also bumping
the refcnt on it.  This is problematic, because in our case the skb
has already a socket assigned in the TPROXY target.  This then results
in the leak I see.

The very same issue seems to be with IPv6, but haven't tested.

<title>x86, x32: Correct invalid use of user timespec in the kernel</title>

commit 2def2ef2ae5f3990aabdbe8a755911902707d268 upstream.

The x32 case for the recvmsg() timout handling is broken:

  asmlinkage long compat_sys_recvmmsg(int fd, struct compat_mmsghdr __user *mmsg,
                                      unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags,
                                      struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
  {
          int datagrams;
          struct timespec ktspec;

          if (flags &amp; MSG_CMSG_COMPAT)
                  return -EINVAL;

          if (COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME)
                  return __sys_recvmmsg(fd, (struct mmsghdr __user *)mmsg, vlen,
                                        flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT,
                                        (struct timespec *) timeout);
          ...

The timeout pointer parameter is provided by userland (hence the __user
annotation) but for x32 syscalls it's simply cast to a kernel pointer
and is passed to __sys_recvmmsg which will eventually directly
dereference it for both reading and writing.  Other callers to
__sys_recvmmsg properly copy from userland to the kernel first.

The bug was introduced by commit ee4fa23c4bfc ("compat: Use
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/compat.c") and should affect all kernels
since 3.4 (and perhaps vendor kernels if they backported x32 support
along with this code).

Note that CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI gets enabled at build time and only if
CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled and ld can build x32 executables.

Other uses of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME seem fine.

This addresses CVE-2014-0038.

<title>ipv6: simplify detection of first operational link-local address on interface</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit 1ec047eb4751e3 ("ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for
dad-completed ipv6 addresses") I build the detection of the first
operational link-local address much to complex. Additionally this code
now has a race condition.

Replace it with a much simpler variant, which just scans the address
list when duplicate address detection completes, to check if this is
the first valid link local address and send RS and MLD reports then.

Fixes: 1ec047eb4751e3 ("ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for dad-completed ipv6 addresses")

In commit 1ec047eb4751e3 ("ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for
dad-completed ipv6 addresses") I build the detection of the first
operational link-local address much to complex. Additionally this code
now has a race condition.

Replace it with a much simpler variant, which just scans the address
list when duplicate address detection completes, to check if this is
the first valid link local address and send RS and MLD reports then.

Fixes: 1ec047eb4751e3 ("ipv6: introduce per-interface counter for dad-completed ipv6 addresses")

<title>tcp: metrics: Avoid duplicate entries with the same destination-IP</title>

Because the tcp-metrics is an RCU-list, it may be that two
soft-interrupts are inside __tcp_get_metrics() for the same
destination-IP at the same time. If this destination-IP is not yet part of
the tcp-metrics, both soft-interrupts will end up in tcpm_new and create
a new entry for this IP.
So, we will have two tcp-metrics with the same destination-IP in the list.

This patch checks twice __tcp_get_metrics(). First without holding the
lock, then while holding the lock. The second one is there to confirm
that the entry has not been added by another soft-irq while waiting for
the spin-lock.

Fixes: 51c5d0c4b169b (tcp: Maintain dynamic metrics in local cache.)

<title>net: rds: fix per-cpu helper usage</title>

commit ae4b46e9d "net: rds: use this_cpu_* per-cpu helper" broke per-cpu
handling for rds. chpfirst is the result of __this_cpu_read(), so it is
an absolute pointer and not __percpu. Therefore, __this_cpu_write()
should not operate on chpfirst, but rather on cache-&gt;percpu-&gt;first, just
like __this_cpu_read() did before.

Included change:
- properly compute the batman-adv header overhead. Such
  result is later used to initialize the hard_header_len
  member of the soft-interface netdev object

At first Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide
were not correct. (off by one in some cases)
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/reciprocal-buggy.c

He could also show this with BPF:
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/set-and-dump-filter-k-bug.c

The reciprocal divide in linux kernel is not generic enough,
lets remove its use in BPF, as it is not worth the pain with
current cpus.
