asus-laptop: Do not call HWRS on init

2013-03-28T19:06:14+00:00

commit cb7da022450cdaaebd33078b6b32fb7dd2aaf6db upstream.

Since commit 8871e99f89b7 ('asus-laptop: HRWS/HWRS typo'), module
initialisation is very slow on the Asus UL30A.  The HWRS method takes
about 12 seconds to run, and subsequent initialisation also seems to
be delayed.  Since we don't really need the result, don't bother
calling it on init.  Those who are curious can still get the result
through the 'infos' device attribute.

Update the comment about HWRS in show_infos().

rt2x00: error in configurations with mesh support disabled

2013-03-28T19:06:14+00:00

commit 6ef9e2f6d12ce9e2120916804d2ddd46b954a70b upstream.

If CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set, cfg80211 will now allow advertising
interface combinations with NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT present.
Add appropriate ifdefs to avoid running into errors.

[Backported for 3.8-stable. Removed code of simultaneous AP and mesh
mode added in 4a5fc6d 3.9-rc1.]

exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth

2013-03-28T19:06:14+00:00

commit d740269867021faf4ce38a449353d2b986c34a67 upstream.

To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive
scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon
as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back
up the chain, aborting immediately.

This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting
to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the
dash source:

        if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) {
                *argv-- = cmd;
                *argv = cmd = path_bshell;
                goto repeat;
        }

The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked
the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC,
things continue to behave as the shell expects.

Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be
involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through
search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible
for tracking the depth.

i915: initialize CADL in opregion

2013-03-28T19:06:04+00:00

commit d627b62ff8d4d36761adbcd90ff143d79c94ab22 upstream.

This is rather a hack to fix brightness hotkeys on a Clevo laptop. CADL is not
used anywhere in the driver code at the moment, but it could be used in BIOS as
is the case with the Clevo laptop.

The Clevo B7130 requires the CADL field to contain at least the ID of
the LCD device. If this field is empty, the ACPI methods that are called
on pressing brightness / display switching hotkeys will not trigger a
notification. As a result, it appears as no hotkey has been pressed.

Fix: compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() misuse in aio, readv, writev, and security keys

2013-03-28T19:06:04+00:00

commit 8aec0f5d4137532de14e6554fd5dd201ff3a3c49 upstream.

Looking at mm/process_vm_access.c:process_vm_rw() and comparing it to
compat_process_vm_rw() shows that the compatibility code requires an
explicit "access_ok()" check before calling
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(). The same difference seems to appear when
we compare fs/read_write.c:do_readv_writev() to
fs/compat.c:compat_do_readv_writev().

This subtle difference between the compat and non-compat requirements
should probably be debated, as it seems to be error-prone. In fact,
there are two others sites that use this function in the Linux kernel,
and they both seem to get it wrong:

Now shifting our attention to fs/aio.c, we see that aio_setup_iocb()
also ends up calling compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() through
aio_setup_vectored_rw(). Unfortunately, the access_ok() check appears to
be missing. Same situation for
security/keys/compat.c:compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov().

I propose that we add the access_ok() check directly into
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), so callers don't have to worry about it,
and it therefore makes the compat call code similar to its non-compat
counterpart. Place the access_ok() check in the same location where
copy_from_user() can trigger a -EFAULT error in the non-compat code, so
the ABI behaviors are alike on both compat and non-compat.

While we are here, fix compat_do_readv_writev() so it checks for
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() negative return values.

And also, fix a memory leak in compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() error
handling.
