<title>ppp: remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirrors.hust.edu.cn/git/lwn.git/commit/?id=af8d3c7c001ae7df1ed2b2715f058113efc86187'/>
<id>urn:sha1:af8d3c7c001ae7df1ed2b2715f058113efc86187</id>
<content type='text'>
The PPPIOCDETACH ioctl effectively tries to "close" the given ppp file
before f_count has reached 0, which is fundamentally a bad idea.  It
does check 'f_count &lt; 2', which excludes concurrent operations on the
file since they would only be possible with a shared fd table, in which
case each fdget() would take a file reference.  However, it fails to
account for the fact that even with 'f_count == 1' the file can still be
linked into epoll instances.  As reported by syzbot, this can trivially
be used to cause a use-after-free.

Yet, the only known user of PPPIOCDETACH is pppd versions older than
ppp-2.4.2, which was released almost 15 years ago (November 2003).
Also, PPPIOCDETACH apparently stopped working reliably at around the
same time, when the f_count check was added to the kernel, e.g. see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/31/83.  Also, the current 'f_count &lt; 2'
check makes PPPIOCDETACH only work in single-threaded applications; it
always fails if called from a multithreaded application.

All pppd versions released in the last 15 years just close() the file
descriptor instead.

Therefore, instead of hacking around this bug by exporting epoll
internals to modules, and probably missing other related bugs, just
remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl and see if anyone actually notices.  Leave
a stub in place that prints a one-time warning and returns EINVAL.

Merge speculative store buffer bypass fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - rework of the SPEC_CTRL MSR management to accomodate the new fancy
   SSBD (Speculative Store Bypass Disable) bit handling.

 - the CPU bug and sysfs infrastructure for the exciting new Speculative
   Store Bypass 'feature'.

 - support for disabling SSB via LS_CFG MSR on AMD CPUs including
   Hyperthread synchronization on ZEN.

 - PRCTL support for dynamic runtime control of SSB

 - SECCOMP integration to automatically disable SSB for sandboxed
   processes with a filter flag for opt-out.

 - KVM integration to allow guests fiddling with SSBD including the new
   software MSR VIRT_SPEC_CTRL to handle the LS_CFG based oddities on
   AMD.

 - BPF protection against SSB

.. this is just the core and x86 side, other architecture support will
come separately.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
 "A handful of fixes. I've been queuing them up a bit too long so the
  list is longer than it otherwise would have been spread out across a
  few -rcs.

  In general, it's a scattering of fixes across several platforms,
  nothing truly serious enough to point out.

  There's a slightly larger batch of them for the Davinci platforms due
  to work to bring them back to life after some time, so there's a
  handful of regressions, some of them going back very far, others more
  recent.

  There's also a few patches fixing DT on Renesas platforms since they
  changed some bindings without remaining backwards compatible,
  splitting up describing LVDS as a proper bridge instead of having it
  as part of the display unit.

  We could push for them to be backwards compatible with old device
  trees, but it's likely to regress eventually if nobody's actually
  using said compatibility"

<content type='text'>
KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED seems to be somewhat confusing:

Guest doesn't really care whether it's the only task running on a host
CPU as long as it's not preempted.

And there are more reasons for Guest to be preempted than host CPU
sharing, for example, with memory overcommit it can get preempted on a
memory access, post copy migration can cause preemption, etc.

Let's call it KVM_HINTS_REALTIME which seems to better
match what guests expect.

Also, the flag most be set on all vCPUs - current guests assume this.
Note so in the documentation.

<title>net: phy: micrel: add 125MHz reference clock workaround</title>

<content type='text'>
The micrel KSZ9031 phy has a optional clock pin (CLK125_NDO) which can be
used as reference clock for the MAC unit. The clock signal must meet the
RGMII requirements to ensure the correct data transmission between the
MAC and the PHY. The KSZ9031 phy does not fulfill the duty cycle
requirement if the phy is configured as slave. For a complete
describtion look at the errata sheets: DS80000691D or DS80000692D.

The errata sheet recommends to force the phy into master mode whenever
there is a 1000Base-T link-up as work around. Only set the
"micrel,force-master" property if you use the phy reference clock provided
by CLK125_NDO pin as MAC reference clock in your application.

Attenation, this workaround is only usable if the link partner can
be configured to slave mode for 1000Base-T.
