2016-11-04PCI: designware: Check for iATU unroll support after initializing hostNiklas Cassel1-2/+5
dw_pcie_iatu_unroll_enabled() reads a dbi_base register. Reading any dbi_base register before pp->ops->host_init has been called causes "imprecise external abort" on platforms like ARTPEC-6, where the PCIe module is disabled at boot and first enabled in pp->ops->host_init. Move dw_pcie_iatu_unroll_enabled() to dw_pcie_setup_rc(), since it is after pp->ops->host_init, but before pp->iatu_unroll_enabled is actually used.

Especially the usage of sr3 is critical since it may get trashed by the interrupt handler. The second patch is even more important and tagged for stable series. It protects one critical section in the syscall entry path by disabling local interrupts. Without disabling interrupts, the sr7 space register may not be in sync with the current stack setup and thus an incoming hardware interrupt may destroy memory in random userspace areas" * 'parisc-4.9-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux: parisc: Ignore the pkey system calls for now parisc: Use LINUX_GATEWAY_ADDR define instead of hardcoded value parisc: Ensure consistent state when switching to kernel stack at syscall entry parisc: Avoid trashing sr2 and sr3 in LWS code parisc: use KERN_CONT when printing device inventory
2016-11-04i2c: core: fix NULL pointer dereference under race conditionVladimir Zapolskiy1-1/+1
Race condition between registering an I2C device driver and deregistering an I2C adapter device which is assumed to manage that I2C device may lead to a NULL pointer dereference due to the uninitialized list head of driver clients. The root cause of the issue is that the I2C bus may know about the registered device driver and thus it is matched by bus_for_each_drv(), but the list of clients is not initialized and commonly it is NULL, because I2C device drivers define struct i2c_driver as static and clients field is expected to be initialized by I2C core: i2c_register_driver() i2c_del_adapter() driver_register() ... bus_add_driver() ... ... bus_for_each_drv(..., __process_removed_adapter) ... i2c_do_del_adapter() ... list_for_each_entry_safe(..., &driver->clients, ...) INIT_LIST_HEAD(&driver->clients); To solve the problem it is sufficient to do clients list head initialization before calling driver_register(). The problem was found while using an I2C device driver with a sluggish registration routine on a bus provided by a physically detachable I2C master controller, but practically the oops may be reproduced under the race between arbitraty I2C device driver registration and managing I2C bus device removal e.g. by unbinding the latter over sysfs: % echo 21a4000.i2c > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/imx-i2c/unbind Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] SMP ARM CPU: 2 PID: 533 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.9.0-rc3+ #61 Hardware name: Freescale i.MX6 Quad/DualLite (Device Tree) task: e5ada400 task.stack: e4936000 PC is at i2c_do_del_adapter+0x20/0xcc LR is at __process_removed_adapter+0x14/0x1c Flags: NzCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none Control: 10c5387d Table: 35bd004a DAC: 00000051 Process sh (pid: 533, stack limit = 0xe4936210) Stack: (0xe4937d28 to 0xe4938000) Backtrace: [<c0667be0>] (i2c_do_del_adapter) from [<c0667cc0>] (__process_removed_adapter+0x14/0x1c) [<c0667cac>] (__process_removed_adapter) from [<c0516998>] (bus_for_each_drv+0x6c/0xa0) [<c051692c>] (bus_for_each_drv) from [<c06685ec>] (i2c_del_adapter+0xbc/0x284) [<c0668530>] (i2c_del_adapter) from [<bf0110ec>] (i2c_imx_remove+0x44/0x164 [i2c_imx]) [<bf0110a8>] (i2c_imx_remove [i2c_imx]) from [<c051a838>] (platform_drv_remove+0x2c/0x44) [<c051a80c>] (platform_drv_remove) from [<c05183d8>] (__device_release_driver+0x90/0x12c) [<c0518348>] (__device_release_driver) from [<c051849c>] (device_release_driver+0x28/0x34) [<c0518474>] (device_release_driver) from [<c0517150>] (unbind_store+0x80/0x104) [<c05170d0>] (unbind_store) from [<c0516520>] (drv_attr_store+0x28/0x34) [<c05164f8>] (drv_attr_store) from [<c0298acc>] (sysfs_kf_write+0x50/0x54) [<c0298a7c>] (sysfs_kf_write) from [<c029801c>] (kernfs_fop_write+0x100/0x214) [<c0297f1c>] (kernfs_fop_write) from [<c0220130>] (__vfs_write+0x34/0x120) [<c02200fc>] (__vfs_write) from [<c0221088>] (vfs_write+0xa8/0x170) [<c0220fe0>] (vfs_write) from [<c0221e74>] (SyS_write+0x4c/0xa8) [<c0221e28>] (SyS_write) from [<c0108a20>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x1c) Signed-off-by: Vladimir Zapolskiy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]
2016-11-04MIPS: Fix max_low_pfn with disabled highmemJames Hogan1-0/+13
When low memory doesn't reach HIGHMEM_START (e.g. up to 256MB at PA=0 is common) and highmem is present above HIGHMEM_START (e.g. on Malta the RAM overlayed by the IO region is aliased at PA=0x90000000), max_low_pfn will be initially calculated very large and then clipped down to HIGHMEM_START. This causes crashes when reading /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap (i.e. CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING=y) when highmem is disabled. pfn_valid() will compare against max_mapnr which is derived from max_low_pfn when there is no highend_pfn set up, and will return true for PFNs right up to HIGHMEM_START, even though they are beyond the end of low memory and no page structs will actually exist for these PFNs. This is fixed by skipping high memory regions when initially calculating max_low_pfn if highmem is disabled, so it doesn't get clipped too high. We also clip regions which overlap the highmem boundary when highmem is disabled, so that max_pfn doesn't extend into highmem either.

2016-11-04MIPS: Correct MIPS I FP sigcontext layoutMaciej W. Rozycki1-64/+39
Complement commit 80cbfad79096 ("MIPS: Correct MIPS I FP context layout") and correct the way Floating Point General registers are stored in a signal context with MIPS I hardware. Use the S.D and L.D assembly macros to have pairs of SWC1 instructions and pairs of LWC1 instructions produced, respectively, in an arrangement which makes the memory representation of floating-point data passed compatible with that used by hardware SDC1 and LDC1 instructions, where available, regardless of the hardware endianness used. This matches the layout used by r4k_fpu.S, ensuring run-time compatibility for MIPS I software across all o32 hardware platforms. Define an EX2 macro to handle exceptions from both hardware instructions implicitly produced from S.D and L.D assembly macros. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

2016-11-04MIPS: Fix ISA I/II FP signal context offsetsMaciej W. Rozycki2-117/+131
Fix a regression introduced with commit 2db9ca0a3551 ("MIPS: Use struct mips_abi offsets to save FP context") for MIPS I/I FP signal contexts, by converting save/restore code to the updated internal API. Start FGR offsets from 0 rather than SC_FPREGS from $a0 and use $a1 rather than the offset of SC_FPC_CSR from $a0 for the Floating Point Control/Status Register (FCSR). Document the new internal API and adjust assembly code formatting for consistency. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
