others were simplified. In one of those simplifications, the return

powerpc/64e/interrupt: Fix nvgprs being clobbered
Some interrupt handlers have an "extra" that saves 1 or 2
registers (r14, r15) in the paca save area and makes them available to
use by the handler.
The change to always save nvgprs in exception handlers lead to some
interrupt handlers saving those scratch r14 / r15 registers into the
interrupt frame's GPR saves, which get restored on interrupt exit.
Fix this by always reloading those scratch registers from paca before
the EXCEPTION_COMMON that saves nvgprs.

powerpc/64s: Make NMI record implicitly soft-masked code as irqs disabled
scv support introduced the notion of code that implicitly soft-masks
irqs due to the instruction addresses. This is required because scv
enters the kernel with MSR[EE]=1.
If a NMI (including soft-NMI) interrupt hits when we are implicitly
soft-masked then its regs->softe does not reflect this because it is
derived from the explicit soft mask state (paca->irq_soft_mask). This
makes arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs) return false.
This can trigger a warning in the soft-NMI watchdog code (shown below).
Fix it by having NMI interrupts set regs->softe to disabled in case of
interrupting an implicit soft-masked region.
The stf entry barrier fallback is unsafe to execute in a semi-patched
state, which can happen when enabling/disabling the mitigation with
strict kernel RWX enabled and using the hash MMU.
See the previous commit for more details.
Fix it by changing the order in which we patch the instructions.
Note the stf barrier fallback is only used on Power6 or earlier.
The entry flush mitigation can be enabled/disabled at runtime. When this
happens it results in the kernel patching its own instructions to
enable/disable the mitigation sequence.
With strict kernel RWX enabled instruction patching happens via a
secondary mapping of the kernel text, so that we don't have to make the
primary mapping writable. With the hash MMU this leads to a hash fault,
which causes us to execute the exception entry which contains the entry
flush mitigation.
This means we end up executing the entry flush in a semi-patched state,
ie. after we have patched the first instruction but before we patch the
second or third instruction of the sequence.
On machines with updated firmware the entry flush is a series of special
nops, and it's safe to to execute in a semi-patched state.
However when using the fallback flush the sequence is mflr/branch/mtlr,
and so it's not safe to execute if we have patched out the mflr but not
the other two instructions. Doing so leads to us corrputing LR, leading
to an oops, for example:
The simplest fix is to change the order in which we patch the
instructions, so that the sequence is always safe to execute. For the
non-fallback flushes it doesn't matter what order we patch in.
powerpc/64s: Fix crashes when toggling entry flush barrier
The entry flush mitigation can be enabled/disabled at runtime via a
debugfs file (entry_flush), which causes the kernel to patch itself to
enable/disable the relevant mitigations.
However depending on which mitigation we're using, it may not be safe to
do that patching while other CPUs are active. For example the following
crash:
Shows that we returned to userspace with a corrupted LR that points into
the kernel, due to executing the partially patched call to the fallback
entry flush (ie. we missed the LR restore).
Fix it by doing the patching under stop machine. The CPUs that aren't
doing the patching will be spinning in the core of the stop machine
logic. That is currently sufficient for our purposes, because none of
the patching we do is to that code or anywhere in the vicinity.

btrfs: fix removed dentries still existing after log is synced
When we move one inode from one directory to another and both the inode
and its previous parent directory were logged before, we are not supposed
to have the dentry for the old parent if we have a power failure after the
log is synced. Only the new dentry is supposed to exist.
Generally this works correctly, however there is a scenario where this is
not currently working, because the old parent of the file/directory that
was moved is not authoritative for a range that includes the dir index and
dir item keys of the old dentry. This case is better explained with the
following example and reproducer:
# The test requires a very specific layout of keys and items in the
# fs/subvolume btree to trigger the bug. So we want to make sure that
# on whatever platform we are, we have the same leaf/node size.
#
# Currently in btrfs the node/leaf size can not be smaller than the page
# size (but it can be greater than the page size). So use the largest
# supported node/leaf size (64K).
$ mkfs.btrfs -f -n 65536 /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
# Create several empty files to have the directory "testdir" with its
# items spread over several leaves (7 in this case).
$ for ((i = 1; i <= 1200; i++)); do
echo -n > /mnt/testdir/file$i

# Create our test directory "dira", inode number 1458, which gets all
# its items in leaf 7.
#
# The BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY item for inode 257 ("testdir") that points to
# the entry named "dira" is in leaf 2, while the BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY
# item that points to that entry is in leaf 3.
#
# For this particular filesystem node size (64K), file count and file
# names, we endup with the directory entry items from inode 257 in
# leaves 2 and 3, as previously mentioned - what matters for triggering
# the bug exercised by this test case is that those items are not placed
# in leaf 1, they must be placed in a leaf different from the one
# containing the inode item for inode 257.
#
# The corresponding BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY and BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY items for
# the parent inode (257) are the following:
#
# item 460 key (257 DIR_ITEM 3724298081) itemoff 48344 itemsize 34

$ mkdir /mnt/testdir/dira
# Make sure everything done so far is durably persisted.
$ sync
# Now do a change to inode 257 ("testdir") that does not result in
# COWing leaves 2 and 3 - the leaves that contain the directory items

#
# Changing permissions, the owner/group, updating or adding a xattr,

# updating its inode item and therefore change (COW) only leaf 1.
$ chmod 700 /mnt/testdir

#
# Since only the first leaf was changed/COWed, we log the inode item of

# key type of BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY, and no keys of type
# BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY, because they sort after the former type and none
# exist in the first leaf.
#
# We also log 3 items that represent ranges for dir items and dir
# indexes for which the log is authoritative:

# dentry's name). The value 2285968570 corresponds to the offset of
# the first key of leaf 2 (which is of type BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY);
#
# 2) a key of type BTRFS_DIR_LOG_ITEM_KEY, which indicates the log is
# authoritative for all BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY keys that have an offset
# in the range [4293818216, (u64)-1] (the offset here is the crc32c
# of the dentry's name). The value 4293818216 corresponds to the
# offset of the highest key of type BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY plus 1
# (4293818215 + 1), which is located in leaf 2;
#
# 3) a key of type BTRFS_DIR_LOG_INDEX_KEY, with an offset of 1203,
# which indicates the log is authoritative for all keys of type
# BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY that have an offset in the range
# [1203, (u64)-1]. The value 1203 corresponds to the offset of the
# last key of type BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY plus 1 (1202 + 1), which is
# located in leaf 3;
#
# Also, because "testdir" is a directory and inode 1458 ("dira") is a
# child directory, we log inode 1458 too.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/testdir
# Now move "dira", inode 1458, to be a child of the root directory
# (inode 256).
#
# Because this inode was previously logged, when "testdir" was fsynced,
# the log is updated so that the old inode reference, referring to inode
# 257 as the parent, is deleted and the new inode reference, referring
# to inode 256 as the parent, is added to the log.
$ mv /mnt/testdir/dira /mnt
# Now change some file and fsync it. This guarantees the log changes
# made by the previous move/rename operation are persisted. We do not
# need to do any special modification to the file, just any change to
# any file and sync the log.
# Simulate a power failure and then mount again the filesystem to
# replay the log tree. We want to verify that we are able to mount the
# filesystem, meaning log replay was successful, and that directory
# inode 1458 ("dira") only has inode 256 (the filesystem's root) as
# its parent (and no longer a child of inode 257).
#
# It used to happen that during log replay we would end up having
# inode 1458 (directory "dira") with 2 hard links, being a child of
# inode 257 ("testdir") and inode 256 (the filesystem's root). This
# resulted in the tree checker detecting the issue and causing the
# mount operation to fail (with -EIO).
#
# This happened because in the log we have the new name/parent for
# inode 1458, which results in adding the new dentry with inode 256
# as the parent, but the previous dentry, under inode 257 was never
# removed - this is because the ranges for dir items and dir indexes
# of inode 257 for which the log is authoritative do not include the
# old dir item and dir index for the dentry of inode 257 referring to
# inode 1458:
#
# - for dir items, the log is authoritative for the ranges
# [0, 2285968570] and [4293818216, (u64)-1]. The dir item at inode 257
# pointing to inode 1458 has a key of (257 DIR_ITEM 3724298081), as
# previously mentioned, so the dir item is not deleted when the log
# replay procedure processes the authoritative ranges, as 3724298081
# is outside both ranges;
#
# - for dir indexes, the log is authoritative for the range
# [1203, (u64)-1], and the dir index item of inode 257 pointing to
# inode 1458 has a key of (257 DIR_INDEX 1202), as previously

# replay procedure processes the authoritative range.

$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
mount: /mnt: can't read superblock on /dev/sdc.
In this example the inode we moved was a directory, so it was easy to
detect the problem because directories can only have one hard link and
the tree checker immediately detects that. If the moved inode was a file,
then the log replay would succeed and we would end up having both the
new hard link (/mnt/foo) and the old hard link (/mnt/testdir/foo) present,
but only the new one should be present.
Fix this by forcing re-logging of the old parent directory when logging
the new name during a rename operation. This ensures we end up with a log
that is authoritative for a range covering the keys for the old dentry,
therefore causing the old dentry do be deleted when replaying the log.

btrfs: return whole extents in fiemap
`xfs_io -c 'fiemap <off> <len>' <file>`
can give surprising results on btrfs that differ from xfs.
btrfs prints out extents trimmed to fit the user input. If the user's
fiemap request has an offset, then rather than returning each whole
extent which intersects that range, we also trim the start extent to not
have start < off.
Documentation in filesystems/fiemap.txt and the xfs_io man page suggests
that returning the whole extent is expected.
Some cases which all yield the same fiemap in xfs, but not btrfs:
dd if=/dev/zero of=$f bs=4k count=1
sudo xfs_io -c 'fiemap 0 1024' $f
0: [0..7]: 26624..26631
sudo xfs_io -c 'fiemap 2048 1024' $f
0: [4..7]: 26628..26631
sudo xfs_io -c 'fiemap 2048 4096' $f
0: [4..7]: 26628..26631
sudo xfs_io -c 'fiemap 3584 512' $f
0: [7..7]: 26631..26631
sudo xfs_io -c 'fiemap 4091 5' $f
0: [7..6]: 26631..26630
I believe this is a consequence of the logic for merging contiguous
extents represented by separate extent items. That logic needs to track
the last offset as it loops through the extent items, which happens to
pick up the start offset on the first iteration, and trim off the
beginning of the full extent. To fix it, start `off` at 0 rather than
`start` so that we keep the iteration/merging intact without cutting off
the start of the extent.
after the fix, all the above commands give:
0: [0..7]: 26624..26631
The merging logic is exercised by fstest generic/483, and I have written
a new fstest for checking we don't have backwards or zero-length fiemaps
for cases like those above.

vt: Fix character height handling with VT_RESIZEX
vt_ioctl: Revert VT_RESIZEX parameter handling removal
vgacon: Record video mode changes with VT_RESIZEX
Restore the original intent of the VT_RESIZEX ioctl's `v_clin' parameter
which is the number of pixel rows per character (cell) rather than the
height of the font used.
For framebuffer devices the two values are always the same, because the
former is inferred from the latter one. For VGA used as a true text
mode device these two parameters are independent from each other: the
number of pixel rows per character is set in the CRT controller, while
font height is in fact hardwired to 32 pixel rows and fonts of heights
below that value are handled by padding their data with blanks when
loaded to hardware for use by the character generator. One can change
the setting in the CRT controller and it will update the screen contents
accordingly regardless of the font loaded.
The `v_clin' parameter is used by the `vgacon' driver to set the height
of the character cell and then the cursor position within. Make the
parameter explicit then, by defining a new `vc_cell_height' struct
member of `vc_data', set it instead of `vc_font.height' from `v_clin' in
the VT_RESIZEX ioctl, and then use it throughout the `vgacon' driver
except where actual font data is accessed which as noted above is
independent from the CRTC setting.
This way the framebuffer console driver is free to ignore the `v_clin'
parameter as irrelevant, as it always should have, avoiding any issues
attempts to give the parameter a meaning there could have caused, such
as one that has led to commit 988d0763361b ("vt_ioctl: make VT_RESIZEX
behave like VT_RESIZE"):
"syzbot is reporting UAF/OOB read at bit_putcs()/soft_cursor() [1][2],
for vt_resizex() from ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) allows setting font height
larger than actual font height calculated by con_font_set() from
ioctl(PIO_FONT). Since fbcon_set_font() from con_font_set() allocates
minimal amount of memory based on actual font height calculated by
con_font_set(), use of vt_resizex() can cause UAF/OOB read for font
data."
The problem first appeared around Linux 2.5.66 which predates our repo
history, but the origin could be identified with the old MIPS/Linux repo
also at: <git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux.git>
as commit 9736a3546de7 ("Merge with Linux 2.5.66."), where VT_RESIZEX
code in `vt_ioctl' was updated as follows:
if (clin)
- video_font_height = clin;
+ vc->vc_font.height = clin;
making the parameter apply to framebuffer devices as well, perhaps due
to the use of "font" in the name of the original `video_font_height'
variable. Use "cell" in the new struct member then to avoid ambiguity.
Revert the removal of code handling extra VT_RESIZEX ioctl's parameters
beyond those that VT_RESIZE supports, fixing a functional regression
causing `svgatextmode' not to resize the VT anymore.
As a consequence of the reverted change when the video adapter is
reprogrammed from the original say 80x25 text mode using a 9x16
character cell (720x400 pixel resolution) to say 80x37 text mode and the
same character cell (720x592 pixel resolution), the VT geometry does not
get updated and only upper two thirds of the screen are used for the VT,
and the lower part remains blank. The proportions change according to
text mode geometries chosen.
Revert the change verbatim then, bringing back previous VT resizing.

Fix an issue with VGA console font size changes made after the initial
video text mode has been changed with a user tool like `svgatextmode'
calling the VT_RESIZEX ioctl. As it stands in that case the original
screen geometry continues being used to validate further VT resizing.
Consequently when the video adapter is firstly reprogrammed from the
original say 80x25 text mode using a 9x16 character cell (720x400 pixel
resolution) to say 80x37 text mode and the same character cell (720x592
pixel resolution), and secondly the CRTC character cell updated to 9x8
(by loading a suitable font with the KD_FONT_OP_SET request of the
KDFONTOP ioctl), the VT geometry does not get further updated from 80x37
and only upper half of the screen is used for the VT, with the lower
half showing rubbish corresponding to whatever happens to be there in
the video memory that maps to that part of the screen. Of course the
proportions change according to text mode geometries and font sizes
chosen.
Address the problem then, by updating the text mode geometry defaults
rather than checking against them whenever the VT is resized via a user
ioctl.

cdrom: gdrom: initialize global variable at init time
As Peter points out, if we were to disconnect and then reconnect this
driver from a device, the "global" state of the device would contain odd
values and could cause problems. Fix this up by just initializing the
whole thing to 0 at probe() time.
Ideally this would be a per-device variable, but given the age and the
total lack of users of it, that would require a lot of s/./->/g changes
for really no good reason.
The brcmfmac driver ignores any errors on initialization with the
different busses by deferring the initialization to a workqueue and
ignoring all possible errors that might happen. Fix up all of this by
only allowing the module to load if all bus registering worked properly.

Also introduce ioremap error checks at both locations. This allows

release_io can now correctly determine the mode as it has been set

Finally, refactor release_io function so that it will call
release_mem_region in the memory IO case, regardless of whether or not
hw->cfg.p/hw->addr.p are NULL. This means resources are then properly
released on failure.

Explanation:
The static caif_xmit() is only called upon via a function pointer
`ndo_start_xmit` defined in include/linux/netdevice.h:
```
struct net_device_ops {
...
netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev);

struct opa_vnic_adapter *adapter = opa_vnic_priv(netdev);
^ ^
return adapter->rn_ops->ndo_start_xmit(skb, netdev); // adapter would crash first

In each of the enumerated scenarios, it is impossible for the NULL-valued dev to
reach the caif_xmit() without crashing the kernel earlier, therefore `BUG_ON(dev ==

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted. It is safe to ignore this error as the
mixer element is optional, and the driver is very legacy.

Upon review, this commit was found to do does nothing useful as a user
can do nothing with this information and if an error did happen, the
code would continue on as before. Because of this, just revert it.

Upon review, this commit was found to be not be needed at all as the
change was useless because this function can only be called when
of_match_device matched on something. So it should be reverted.

Upon review, it was determined that this commit is not needed at all so
just revert it. Also, the call to lm80_init_client() was not properly
handled, so if error handling is needed in the lm80_probe() function,
then it should be done properly, not half-baked like the commit being
reverted here did.

Upon review, it was determined that this commit is not needed at all as
the media core already prevents memory disclosure on this codepath, so
just drop the extra memset happening here.
Revert "crypto: cavium/nitrox - add an error message to explain the failure of pci_request_mem_regions"
This reverts commit 9fcddaf2e28d779cb946d23838ba6d50f299aa80 as it was
submitted under a fake name and we can not knowingly accept anonymous
contributions to the repository.
This commit was part of a submission "test" to the Linux kernel
community by some "researchers" at umn.edu. As outlined at:
https://www-users.cs.umn.edu/%7Ekjlu/papers/full-disclosure.pdf
it was done so as an attempt to submit a known-buggy patch to see if it
could get by our review. However, the submission turned out to actually
be correct, and not have a bug in it as the author did not understand
how the PCI driver model works at all, and so the submission was
accepted.
As this change is of useless consequence, there is no loss of
functionality in reverting it.

ics932s401: fix broken handling of errors when word reading fails
In commit b05ae01fdb89, someone tried to make the driver handle i2c read
errors by simply zeroing out the register contents, but for some reason
left unaltered the code that sets the cached register value the function
call return value.
The original patch was authored by a member of the Underhanded
Mangle-happy Nerds, I'm not terribly surprised. I don't have the
hardware anymore so I can't test this, but it seems like a pretty
obvious API usage fix to me...
