2012-01-24ASoC: wm2000: Fix use-after-free - don't release_firmware() twice on errorJesper Juhl
In wm2000_i2c_probe(), if we take the true branch in " ret = snd_soc_register_codec(&i2c->dev, &soc_codec_dev_wm2000, NULL, 0); if (ret != 0) goto err_fw; " then we'll release_firmware(fw) at the 'err_fw' label. But we've already done that just a few lines above. That's a use-after-free bug. This patch restructures the code so that we always call release_firmware(fw) before leaving the function, but only ever call it once. This means that we have to initialize 'fw' to NULL since some paths may now end up calling it without having called request_firmware(), but since request_firmware() deals gracefully with NULL pointers, we are fine if we just NULL initialize it.

2012-01-23Use acpi_os_map_memory() instead of ioremap() in einj driverLuck, Tony
ioremap() has become more picky and is now spitting out console messages like: ioremap error for 0xbddbd000-0xbddbe000, requested 0x10, got 0x0 when loading the einj driver. What we are trying to so here is map a couple of data structures that the EINJ table points to. Perhaps acpi_os_map_memory() is a better tool for this? Most importantly it works, but as a side benefit it maps the structures into kernel virtual space so we can access them with normal C memory dereferences, so instead of using: writel(param1, &v5param->apicid); we can use the more natural: v5param->apicid = param1; Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2012-01-23ALSA: hda - Fix silent outputs from docking-station jacks of Dell laptopsTakashi Iwai
The recent change of the power-widget handling for IDT codecs caused the silent output from the docking-station line-out jack. This was partially fixed by the commit f2cbba7602383cd9cdd21f0a5d0b8bd1aad47b33 "ALSA: hda - Fix the lost power-setup of seconary pins after PM resume". But the line-out on the docking-station is still silent when booted with the jack plugged even by this fix. The remainig bug is that the power-widget is set off in stac92xx_init() because the pins in cfg->line_out_pins[] aren't checked there properly but only hp_pins[] are checked in is_nid_hp_pin(). This patch fixes the problem by checking both HP and line-out pins and leaving the power-map correctly.

2012-01-23score: fix off-by-one index into syscall tableDan Rosenberg
If the provided system call number is equal to __NR_syscalls, the current check will pass and a function pointer just after the system call table may be called, since sys_call_table is an array with total size __NR_syscalls. Whether or not this is a security bug depends on what the compiler puts immediately after the system call table. It's likely that this won't do anything bad because there is an additional NULL check on the syscall entry, but if there happens to be a non-NULL value immediately after the system call table, this may result in local privilege escalation.

2012-01-23mm: fix rss count leakage during migrationKonstantin Khlebnikov
Memory migration fills a pte with a migration entry and it doesn't update the rss counters. Then it replaces the migration entry with the new page (or the old one if migration failed). But between these two passes this pte can be unmaped, or a task can fork a child and it will get a copy of this migration entry. Nobody accounts for this in the rss counters. This patch properly adjust rss counters for migration entries in zap_pte_range() and copy_one_pte(). Thus we avoid extra atomic operations on the migration fast-path.

2012-01-23SHM_UNLOCK: fix Unevictable pages stranded after swapHugh Dickins
Commit cc39c6a9bbde ("mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in find_get_pages") correctly fixed an infinite loop; but left a problem that find_get_pages() on shmem would return 0 (appearing to callers to mean end of tree) when it meets a run of nr_pages swap entries. The only uses of find_get_pages() on shmem are via pagevec_lookup(), called from invalidate_mapping_pages(), and from shmctl SHM_UNLOCK's scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(). The first is already commented, and not worth worrying about; but the second can leave pages on the Unevictable list after an unusual sequence of swapping and locking. Fix that by using shmem_find_get_pages_and_swap() (then ignoring the swap) instead of pagevec_lookup(). But I don't want to contaminate vmscan.c with shmem internals, nor shmem.c with LRU locking. So move scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() into shmem.c, renaming it shmem_unlock_mapping(); and rename check_move_unevictable_page() to check_move_unevictable_pages(), looping down an array of pages, oftentimes under the same lock. Leave out the "rotate unevictable list" block: that's a leftover from when this was used for /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, whose flawed handling involved looking at pages at tail of LRU. Was there significance to the sequence first ClearPageUnevictable, then test page_evictable, then SetPageUnevictable here? I think not, we're under LRU lock, and have no barriers between those.

2012-01-23SHM_UNLOCK: fix long unpreemptible sectionHugh Dickins
scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() is used to make SysV SHM_LOCKed pages evictable again once the shared memory is unlocked. It does this with pagevec_lookup()s across the whole object (which might occupy most of memory), and takes 300ms to unlock 7GB here. A cond_resched() every PAGEVEC_SIZE pages would be good. However, KOSAKI-san points out that this is called under shmem.c's info->lock, and it's also under shm.c's shm_lock(), both spinlocks. There is no strong reason for that: we need to take these pages off the unevictable list soonish, but those locks are not required for it. So move the call to scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() from shmem.c's unlock handling up to shm.c's unlock handling. Remove the recently added barrier, not needed now we have spin_unlock() before the scan. Use get_file(), with subsequent fput(), to make sure we have a reference to mapping throughout scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(): that's something that was previously guaranteed by the shm_lock(). Remove shmctl's lru_add_drain_all(): we don't fault in pages at SHM_LOCK time, and we lazily discover them to be Unevictable later, so it serves no purpose for SHM_LOCK; and serves no purpose for SHM_UNLOCK, since pages still on pagevec are not marked Unevictable. The original code avoided redundant rescans by checking VM_LOCKED flag at its level: now avoid them by checking shp's SHM_LOCKED. The original code called scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() on a locked area at shm_destroy() time: perhaps we once had accounting cross-checks which required that, but not now, so skip the overhead and just let inode eviction deal with them. Put check_move_unevictable_page() and scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() under CONFIG_SHMEM (with stub for the TINY case when ramfs is used), more as comment than to save space; comment them used for SHM_UNLOCK.
