mmc: block: fix a bug of error handling in MMC driver

2014-01-03T04:33:36+00:00

commit c8760069627ad3b0dbbea170f0c4c58b16e18d3d upstream.

Current MMC driver doesn't handle generic error (bit19 of device
status) in write sequence. As a result, write data gets lost when
generic error occurs. For example, a generic error when updating a
filesystem management information causes a loss of write data and
corrupts the filesystem. In the worst case, the system will never
boot.

This patch includes the following functionality:
  1. To enable error checking for the response of CMD12 and CMD13
     in write command sequence
  2. To retry write sequence when a generic error occurs

Messages are added for v2 to show what occurs.

ftrace: Fix function graph with loading of modules

2014-01-03T04:33:36+00:00

commit 8a56d7761d2d041ae5e8215d20b4167d8aa93f51 upstream.

Commit 8c4f3c3fa9681 "ftrace: Check module functions being traced on reload"
fixed module loading and unloading with respect to function tracing, but
it missed the function graph tracer. If you perform the following

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # echo function_graph > current_tracer
 # modprobe nfsd
 # echo nop > current_tracer

You'll get the following oops message:

The above mentioned commit didn't go far enough. Well, it covered the
function tracer by adding checks in __register_ftrace_function(). The
problem is that the function graph tracer circumvents that (for a slight
efficiency gain when function graph trace is running with a function
tracer. The gain was not worth this).

The problem came with ftrace_startup() which should always be called after
__register_ftrace_function(), if you want this bug to be completely fixed.

Anyway, this solution moves __register_ftrace_function() inside of
ftrace_startup() and removes the need to call them both.

ftrace: Check module functions being traced on reload

2014-01-03T04:33:36+00:00

commit 8c4f3c3fa9681dc549cd35419b259496082fef8b upstream.

There's been a nasty bug that would show up and not give much info.
The bug displayed the following warning:

It was finally narrowed down to unloading a module that was being traced.

It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's
a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active
tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is
registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented.
When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented.
If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above
warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until
reboot.

The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on
(and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter
all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the
notrace_hash).

When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent
the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is
function records for one module will not exist on the same page as
function records for other modules or even the core kernel.

Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are
freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with
a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all
functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be
incremented).

The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the
module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the
module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point
to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect
that.

With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer:

 Using uinput module and uinput_release function.

 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 modprobe uinput
 echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter
 echo function > current_tracer
 rmmod uinput
 modprobe uinput
 # check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again
 echo nop > current_tracer

 [BOOM]

The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that
can be traced within the module.

We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function.

Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record
associated to uinput_release.

Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents
uinput_release.

Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address).
This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero,
including uinput_release.

Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release
which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have
a mismatch (below zero ref count).

The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any
are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does
that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have
a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts
tracing that function.

There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions
on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions
being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not
a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload,
but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can
still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about
it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too.
Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's
function on unload and load.

ftrace: Create ftrace_hash_empty() helper routine

2014-01-03T04:33:36+00:00

commit 06a51d9307380c78bb5c92e68fc80ad2c7d7f890 upstream.

There are two types of hashes in the ftrace_ops; one type
is the filter_hash and the other is the notrace_hash. Either
one may be null, meaning it has no elements. But when elements
are added, the hash is allocated.

Throughout the code, a check needs to be made to see if a hash
exists or the hash has elements, but the check if the hash exists
is usually missing causing the possible "NULL pointer dereference bug".

Add a helper routine called "ftrace_hash_empty()" that returns
true if the hash doesn't exist or its count is zero. As they mean
the same thing.

ftrace: Fix ftrace hash record update with notrace

2014-01-03T04:33:35+00:00

commit c842e975520f8ab09e293cc92f51a1f396251fd5 upstream.

When disabling the "notrace" records, that means we want to trace them.
If the notrace_hash is zero, it means that we want to trace all
records. But to disable a zero notrace_hash means nothing.

The check for the notrace_hash count was incorrect with:

	if (hash && !hash->count)
		return

With the correct comment above it that states that we do nothing
if the notrace_hash has zero count. But !hash also means that
the notrace hash has zero count. I think this was done to
protect against dereferencing NULL. But if !hash is true, then
we go through the following loop without doing a single thing.

Fix it to:

	if (!hash || !hash->count)
		return;

net: flow_dissector: fail on evil iph->ihl

commit 6f092343855a71e03b8d209815d8c45bf3a27fcd upstream.

We don't validate iph->ihl which may lead a dead loop if we meet a IPIP
skb whose iph->ihl is zero. Fix this by failing immediately when iph->ihl
is evil (less than 5).

This issue were introduced by commit ec5efe7946280d1e84603389a1030ccec0a767ae

commit 31978b5cc66b8ba8a7e8eef60b12395d41b7b890 upstream.

If we allocate less than sizeof(struct attrlist) then we end up
corrupting memory or doing a ZERO_PTR_SIZE dereference.

This can only be triggered with CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

aacraid: prevent invalid pointer dereference

2014-01-03T04:33:35+00:00

commit b4789b8e6be3151a955ade74872822f30e8cd914 upstream.

It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small
because we allocate user_srbcmd with fibsize size only but later we
access it until user_srbcmd->sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd.

It is not correct to test (fibsize < sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this
structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for
commands without data.  So, we would recommend to add the following
(instead of test for fibsize == 0).
