2009-12-04ARM: I-cache: flush executable mappings in flush_cache_range()Russell King
Dirk Behme reported instability on ARM11 SMP (VIPT non-aliasing cache) caused by the dynamic linker changing protection on text pages to write GOT entries. The problem is due to an interaction between the write faulting code providing new anonymous pages which are incoherent with the I-cache due to write buffering, and the I-cache not having been invalidated. a4db94d plugs the hole with the data cache coherency. This patch provides the other half of the fix by flushing the I-cache in flush_cache_range() for VM_EXEC VMAs (which is what we have when the region is being made executable again.) This ensures that the I-cache will be up to date with the newly COW'd pages. Note: if users are writing instructions, then they still need to use the ARM sys_cacheflush API to ensure that the caches are correctly synchronized.

2009-12-04ARM: I-cache: avoid flushing in flush_cache_mm()Russell King
flush_cache_mm() is called in two cases: 1. when a process exits, just before the page tables are torn down. We can allow the stale lines to evict themselves over time without causing any harm. 2. when a process forks, and we've allocated a new ASID. The instruction cache issues are dealt with as pages are brought into the new process address space. Flushing the I-cache here is therefore unnecessary. However, we must keep the VIPT aliasing D-cache flush to ensure that any dirty cache lines are not written back after the pages have been reallocated for some other use - which would result in corruption.

2009-12-04ARM: 5794/1: Flush the D-cache during copy_user_highpage()Catalin Marinas
The I and D caches for copy-on-write pages on processors with write-allocate caches become incoherent causing problems on application relying on CoW for text pages (dynamic linker relocating symbols in a text page). This patch flushes the D-cache for such pages. Cc: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-12-04ARM: Remove __flush_icache_all() from __flush_dcache_page()Russell King
Both call sites for __flush_dcache_page() end up calling __flush_icache_all() themselves, so having __flush_dcache_page() do this as well is wasteful. Remove the duplicated icache flushing. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2009-12-01ARM: Avoid evaluating page_address() multiple timesRussell King
page_address() is a function call rather than a macro, and so: if (page_address(page)) do_something(page_address(page)); results in two calls to this function. This is unnecessary; remove the duplication. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2009-11-30jffs2: Fix memory corruption in jffs2_read_inode_range()David Woodhouse
In 2.6.23 kernel, commit a32ea1e1f925399e0d81ca3f7394a44a6dafa12c ("Fix read/truncate race") fixed a race in the generic code, and as a side effect, now do_generic_file_read() can ask us to readpage() past the i_size. This seems to be correctly handled by the block routines (e.g. block_read_full_page() fills the page with zeroes in case if somebody is trying to read past the last inode's block). JFFS2 doesn't handle this; it assumes that it won't be asked to read pages which don't exist -- and thus that there will be at least _one_ valid 'frag' on the page it's being asked to read. It will fill any holes with the following memset: memset(buf, 0, min(end, frag->ofs + frag->size) - offset); When the 'closest smaller match' returned by jffs2_lookup_node_frag() is actually on a previous page and ends before 'offset', that results in: memset(buf, 0, <huge unsigned negative>); Hopefully, in most cases the corruption is fatal, and quickly causing random oopses, like this: root@10.0.0.4:~/ltp-fs-20090531# ./testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest01 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000008 Faulting instruction address: 0xc01cd980 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [...] NIP [c01cd980] rb_insert_color+0x38/0x184 LR [c0043978] enqueue_hrtimer+0x88/0xc4 Call Trace: [c6c63b60] [c004f9a8] tick_sched_timer+0xa0/0xe4 (unreliable) [c6c63b80] [c0043978] enqueue_hrtimer+0x88/0xc4 [c6c63b90] [c0043a48] __run_hrtimer+0x94/0xbc [c6c63bb0] [c0044628] hrtimer_interrupt+0x140/0x2b8 [c6c63c10] [c000f8e8] timer_interrupt+0x13c/0x254 [c6c63c30] [c001352c] ret_from_except+0x0/0x14 --- Exception: 901 at memset+0x38/0x5c LR = jffs2_read_inode_range+0x144/0x17c [c6c63cf0] [00000000] (null) (unreliable) This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes all LTP tests on NAND/UBI with JFFS2 filesystem that were failing since 2.6.23 (seems like the bug above also broke the truncation).

2009-11-30mac80211: fix spurious delBA handlingJohannes Berg
Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211 was broken and has remotely triggerable problems, some of which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up changing the order in which things were done -- this was commit d75636ef9c1af224f1097941879d5a8db7cd04e5 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Tue Feb 10 21:25:53 2009 +0100 mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session and other parts were already present in the original commit d92684e66091c0f0101819619b315b4bb8b5bcc5 Author: Ron Rindjunsky <ron.rindjunsky@intel.com> Date: Mon Jan 28 14:07:22 2008 +0200 mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE. The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a race window where crashes could happen before the driver accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers. For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it: 1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful about the session state; don't drop the lock 2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop even before the session was really started -- this is true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

2009-11-30mac80211: fix two remote exploitsJohannes Berg
Lennert Buytenhek noticed a remotely triggerable problem in mac80211, which is due to some code shuffling I did that ended up changing the order in which things were done -- this was in commit d75636ef9c1af224f1097941879d5a8db7cd04e5 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Tue Feb 10 21:25:53 2009 +0100 mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session The problem is that the BUG_ON moved before the various checks, and as such can be triggered. As the comment indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action callback must already exist when the state is OPERATIONAL. A similar code path leads to a WARN_ON in ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session, which can also be removed.

kernel unwinding is broken with gcc >= 4.x. Part of the problem is that binutils seems very sensitive to where the unwind information is stored. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
