commit e5dfa3f902b9a642ae8c6997d57d7c41e384a90b upstream.

The usbip userspace tools call sprintf()/snprintf() and don't check for
the return value which can lead the paths to overflow, truncating the
final file in the path.

More urgently, GCC 7 now warns that these aren't checked with
-Wformat-overflow, and with -Werror enabled in configure.ac, that makes
these tools unbuildable.

This patch fixes these problems by replacing sprintf() with snprintf() in
one place and adding checks for the return value of snprintf().

commit cfd6ed4537a9e938fa76facecd4b9cd65b6d1563 upstream.

GCC 7 now warns when switch statements fall through implicitly, and with
-Werror enabled in configure.ac, that makes these tools unbuildable.

We fix this by notifying the compiler that this particular case statement
is meant to fall through.

<title>usbip: prevent vhci_hcd driver from leaking a socket pointer address</title>

commit 2f2d0088eb93db5c649d2a5e34a3800a8a935fc5 upstream.

When a client has a USB device attached over IP, the vhci_hcd driver is
locally leaking a socket pointer address via the

/sys/devices/platform/vhci_hcd/status file (world-readable) and in debug
output when "usbip --debug port" is run.

Fix it to not leak. The socket pointer address is not used at the moment
and it was made visible as a convenient way to find IP address from socket
pointer address by looking up /proc/net/{tcp,tcp6}.

As this opens a security hole, the fix replaces socket pointer address with
sockfd.

<title>selftests/x86: Add test_vsyscall</title>

<id>125d76412866d65d459388a0399b1f4a8db0bb8f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 352909b49ba0d74929b96af6dfbefc854ab6ebb5 upstream.

This tests that the vsyscall entries do what they're expected to do.
It also confirms that attempts to read the vsyscall page behave as
expected.

If changes are made to the vsyscall code or its memory map handling,
running this test in all three of vsyscall=none, vsyscall=emulate,
and vsyscall=native are helpful.

(Because it's easy, this also compares the vsyscall results to their
 vDSO equivalents.)

Note to KAISER backporters: please test this under all three
vsyscall modes.  Also, in the emulate and native modes, make sure
that test_vsyscall_64 agrees with the command line or config
option as to which mode you're in.  It's quite easy to mess up
the kernel such that native mode accidentally emulates
or vice versa.

Greg, etc: please backport this to all your Meltdown-patched
kernels.  It'll help make sure the patches didn't regress
vsyscalls.

[ Upstream commit e7ede72a6d40cb3a30c087142d79381ca8a31dab ]

The current symbols__fixup_end() heuristic for the last entry in the rb
tree is suboptimal as it leads to not being able to recognize the symbol
in the call graph in a couple of corner cases, for example:

 i) If the symbol has a start address (f.e. exposed via kallsyms)
    that is at a page boundary, then the roundup(curr-&gt;start, 4096)
    for the last entry will result in curr-&gt;start == curr-&gt;end with
    a symbol length of zero.

ii) If the symbol has a start address that is shortly before a page
    boundary, then also here, curr-&gt;end - curr-&gt;start will just be
    very few bytes, where it's unrealistic that we could perform a
    match against.

Instead, change the heuristic to roundup(curr-&gt;start, 4096) + 4096, so
that we can catch such corner cases and have a better chance to find
that specific symbol. It's still just best effort as the real end of the
symbol is unknown to us (and could even be at a larger offset than the
current range), but better than the current situation.

Alexei reported that he recently run into case i) with a JITed eBPF
program (these are all page aligned) as the last symbol which wasn't
properly shown in the call graph (while other eBPF program symbols in
the rb tree were displayed correctly). Since this is a generic issue,
lets try to improve the heuristic a bit.

[ Upstream commit 46aa6a302b53f543f8e8b8e1714dc5e449ad36a6 ]

linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm $ make

  gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include     compaction_test.c -lrt -o /compaction_test
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.9.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot open output file /compaction_test: Permission denied
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make: *** [../lib.mk:54: /compaction_test] Error 1

Since commit a8ba798bc8ec ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT")
selftests/vm build fails if run from the "selftests/vm" directory, but
it works in the selftests/ directory.  It's quicker to be able to do a
local vm-only build after a tree wipe and this patch allows for it
again.

[ Upstream commit 46aa6a302b53f543f8e8b8e1714dc5e449ad36a6 ]

linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm $ make

  gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include     compaction_test.c -lrt -o /compaction_test
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.9.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot open output file /compaction_test: Permission denied
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make: *** [../lib.mk:54: /compaction_test] Error 1

Since commit a8ba798bc8ec ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT")
selftests/vm build fails if run from the "selftests/vm" directory, but
it works in the selftests/ directory.  It's quicker to be able to do a
local vm-only build after a tree wipe and this patch allows for it
again.

[ Upstream commit a6d8a21596df041f36f4c2ccc260c459e3e851f1 ]

Tests under alignment subdirectory are skipped when executed on previous
generation hardware, but harness still marks them as failed.

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [FAIL]

The MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE value assigned to rc variable is retained till
the program exit which causes the test to be marked as failed.

This patch resets the value before returning to the main() routine.
With this patch the test o/p is as follows:

  test: test_copy_unaligned
  tags: git_version:unknown
  [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26
  skip: test_copy_unaligned
  selftests: copy_unaligned [PASS]

<title>hv: kvp: Avoid reading past allocated blocks from KVP file</title>

commit 297d6b6e56c2977fc504c61bbeeaa21296923f89 upstream.

While reading in more than one block (50) of KVP records, the allocation
goes per block, but the reads used the total number of allocated records
(without resetting the pointer/stream). This causes the records buffer to
overrun when the refresh reads more than one block over the previous
capacity (e.g. reading more than 100 KVP records whereas the in-memory
database was empty before).

Fix this by reading the correct number of KVP records from file each time.
