2015-10-22pktgen: document ability to add same device to several threadsJesper Dangaard Brouer
commit 2a1ddf27e8189e1d68336c55dd2f305b224ae8f1 upstream. The pktgen.txt documentation still claimed that adding same device to multiple threads were not supported, but it have been since 2008 via commit e6fce5b916cd7 ("pktgen: multiqueue etc."). Document this and describe the naming scheme dev@X, as the procfile name still need to be unique.

commit 148e9a711e034e06310a8c36b64957934ebe30f2 upstream. On some laptops, keyboard needs to be reset in order to successfully detect touchpad (e.g., some Gigabyte laptop models with Elantech touchpads). Without resettin keyboard touchpad pretends to be completely dead. Based on the original patch by Mateusz Jończyk this version has been expanded to include DMI based detection & application of the fix automatically on the affected models of laptops. This has been confirmed to fix problem by three users already on three different models of laptops.

2014-12-01cpuset: PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB should be atomic flagsZefan Li
commit 2ad654bc5e2b211e92f66da1d819e47d79a866f0 upstream. When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk->flags for each task in that cpuset. This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't, which is broken. Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on the same task. Here's the full report: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230 To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags. v4: - updated mm/slab.c.

2014-08-07x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stackH. Peter Anvin
commit 3891a04aafd668686239349ea58f3314ea2af86b upstream. The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. This causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state to user space. We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in 64-bit mode. In checkin: b3b42ac2cbae x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work. This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart. When we detect that the return SS is on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the relevant alias to return to userspace. The ministacks are mapped readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF handler. (Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.) Special thanks to: - Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF. - Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing. - Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

2014-06-07drm/i915: panel: invert brightness via parameterCarsten Emde
commit 7bd90909bbf9ce7c40e1da3d72b97b93839c188a upstream. Following the documentation of the Legacy Backlight Brightness (LBB) Register in the configuration space of some Intel PCI graphics adapters, setting the LBB register with the value 0x0 causes the backlight to be turned off, and 0xFF causes the backlight to be set to 100% intensity (http://download.intel.com/embedded/processors/Whitepaper/324567.pdf). The Acer Aspire 5734Z, however, turns the backlight off at 0xFF and sets it to maximum intensity at 0. In consequence, the screen of this systems becomes dark at an early boot stage which makes it unusable. The same inversion applies to the BLC_PWM_CTL I915 register. This problem was introduced in kernel version 2.6.38 when the PCI device of this system was first supported by the i915 KMS module. This patch adds a parameter to the i915 module to enable inversion of the brightness variable (i915.invert_brightness).

2013-12-04vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pKRyan Mallon
commit 312b4e226951f707e120b95b118cbc14f3d162b2 upstream. Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time, but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be leaked. This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04: $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms 00000000 T startup_32 $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000' This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other setuid binaries may leak more information. Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids. If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged. Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default. This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

There's nothing special about snapshot creation that makes it advantageous to do from the kernel, so I'd like to remove the create_snap sysfs interface. That is, /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<id>/create_snap would be removed. Does anyone rely on the sysfs interface for creating rbd snapshots? If so, how hard would it be to replace with: rbd snap create pool/image@snap Is there any benefit to the sysfs interface that I'm missing? Josh This patch implements this proposal, removing the code that implements the "snap_create" sysfs interface for rbd images. As a result, quite a lot of other supporting code goes away.

2012-11-26memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0Michal Hocko
commit 9a5a8f19b43430752067ecaee62fc59e11e88fa6 upstream. oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it). This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).

2012-10-02ALSA: hda - Workaround for silent output on VAIO Z with ALC889Takashi Iwai
commit e427c2375646789ecd0ccaef1a1e41458559ab2d upstream. On recent kernels, Realtek codec parser tries to optimize the routing aggressively and take the headphone output as primary at first. This caused a regression on VAIO Z with ALC889, the silent output from the speaker. The problem seems that the speaker pin must be connected to the first DAC (0x02) on this machine by some reason although the codec itself advertises the flexible routing with any DACs. This patch adds a fix-up for choosing the speaker pin as the primary so that the right DAC is assigned on this device.

2012-07-16stable: Allow merging of backports for serious user-visible performance issuesMel Gorman
commit eb3979f64d25120d60b9e761a4c58f70b1a02f86 upstream. Distribution kernel maintainers routinely backport fixes for users that were deemed important but not "something critical" as defined by the rules. To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix them reduces the value of -stable. The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention. To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier to entry. This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious" user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available. The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

2012-05-02tcp: change tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_rmem[2]Eric Dumazet
tcp_adv_win_scale default value is 2, meaning we expect a good citizen skb to have skb->len / skb->truesize ratio of 75% (3/4) In 2.6 kernels we (mis)accounted for typical MSS=1460 frame : 1536 + 64 + 256 = 1856 'estimated truesize', and 1856 * 3/4 = 1392. So these skbs were considered as not bloated. With recent truesize fixes, a typical MSS=1460 frame truesize is now the more precise : 2048 + 256 = 2304. But 2304 * 3/4 = 1728. So these skb are not good citizen anymore, because 1460 < 1728 (GRO can escape this problem because it build skbs with a too low truesize.) This also means tcp advertises a too optimistic window for a given allocated rcvspace : When receiving frames, sk_rmem_alloc can hit sk_rcvbuf limit and we call tcp_prune_queue()/tcp_collapse() too often, especially when application is slow to drain its receive queue or in case of losses (netperf is fast, scp is slow). This is a major latency source. We should adjust the len/truesize ratio to 50% instead of 75% This patch : 1) changes tcp_adv_win_scale default to 1 instead of 2 2) increase tcp_rmem[2] limit from 4MB to 6MB to take into account better truesize tracking and to allow autotuning tcp receive window to reach same value than before. Note that same amount of kernel memory is consumed compared to 2.6 kernels.
