If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns argv[0] == NULL. This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c0 ("usermodehelper: check subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit 7f57cfa4 ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check"). This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to pipe was added). Depending on kernel version and config, some side effect might happen immediately after this oops (e.g. kernel panic with 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6).

ad65782f (context_tracking: Optimize main APIs off case with static key) converted context tracking main APIs to inline function and left ARM asm callers behind. This can be easily fixed by making ARM calling the post static keys context tracking function. We just need to replicate the static key checks there. We'll remove these later when ARM will support the context tracking static keys. Reported-by:

watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed since the last check. The counter is updated by per-cpu watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main period. Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the watchdog is enabled. So far so good. But... But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler? proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback (watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round. The problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it has been set up. This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased. And even worse it might lead to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious lockup. This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and hrtimers if the threshold value has changed. The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch. This has an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for such cpus. On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before. It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now. It is also unfortunate that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context. The update from the current CPU should be safe because perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler feet. The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the treshold is decreased).

In busiest->group_imb case we can come to fix_small_imbalance() with local->avg_load > busiest->avg_load.

Solve the problems around the broken definition of perf_event_mmap_page:: cap_usr_time and cap_usr_rdpmc fields which used to overlap, partially fixed by: 860f085b ("perf: Fix broken union in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'") The problem with the fix (merged in v3.12-rc1 and not yet released officially), noticed by Vince Weaver is that the new behavior is not detectable by new user-space, and that due to the reuse of the field names it's easy to mis-compile a binary if old headers are used on a new kernel or new headers are used on an old kernel. To solve all that make this change explicit, detectable and self-contained, by iterating the ABI the following way: - Always clear bit 0, and rename it to usrpage->cap_bit0, to at least not confuse old user-space binaries. RDPMC will be marked as unavailable to old binaries but that's within the ABI, this is a capability bit. - Rename bit 1 to ->cap_bit0_is_deprecated and always set it to 1, so new libraries can reliably detect that bit 0 is deprecated and perma-zero without having to check the kernel version. - Use bits 2, 3, 4 for the newly defined, correct functionality: cap_user_rdpmc : 1, /* The RDPMC instruction can be used to read counts */ cap_user_time : 1, /* The time_* fields are used */ cap_user_time_zero : 1, /* The time_zero field is used */ - Rename all the bitfield names in perf_event.h to be different from the old names, to make sure it's not possible to mis-compile it accidentally with old assumptions. The 'size' field can then be used in the future to add new fields and it will act as a natural ABI version indicator as well. Also adjust tools/perf/ userspace for the new definitions, noticed by Adrian Hunter. Reported-by:

The current kpropes insn caches allocate memory areas for insn slots with module_alloc(). The assumption is that the kernel image and module area are both within the same +/- 2GB memory area. This however is not true for s390 where the kernel image resides within the first 2GB (DMA memory area), but the module area is far away in the vmalloc area, usually somewhere close below the 4TB area. For new pc relative instructions s390 needs insn slots that are within +/- 2GB of each area. That way we can patch displacements of pc-relative instructions within the insn slots just like x86 and powerpc. The module area works already with the normal insn slot allocator, however there is currently no way to get insn slots that are within the first 2GB on s390 (aka DMA area). Therefore this patch set modifies the kprobes insn slot cache code in order to allow to specify a custom allocator for the insn slot cache pages. In addition architecure can now have private insn slot caches withhout the need to modify common code. Patch 1 unifies and simplifies the current insn and optinsn caches implementation. This is a preparation which allows to add more insn caches in a simple way. Patch 2 adds the possibility to specify a custom allocator. Patch 3 makes s390 use the new insn slot mechanisms and adds support for pc-relative instructions with long displacements. This patch (of 3): The two insn caches (insn, and optinsn) each have an own mutex and alloc/free functions (get_[opt]insn_slot() / free_[opt]insn_slot()). Since there is the need for yet another insn cache which satifies dma allocations on s390, unify and simplify the current implementation: - Move the per insn cache mutex into struct kprobe_insn_cache. - Move the alloc/free functions to kprobe.h so they are simply wrappers for the generic __get_insn_slot/__free_insn_slot functions. The implementation is done with a DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS() macro which provides the alloc/free functions for each cache if needed. - move the struct kprobe_insn_cache to kprobe.h which allows to generate architecture specific insn slot caches outside of the core kprobes code.

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings: grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" * The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat, since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they might not be exploitable. For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel buffers, and will fail immediately afterward. The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every architectures.

Now hugepage migration is enabled, although restricted on pmd-based hugepages for now (due to lack of testing.) So we should allocate migratable hugepages from ZONE_MOVABLE if possible. This patch makes GFP flags in hugepage allocation dependent on migration support, not only the value of hugepages_treat_as_movable. It provides no change on the behavior for architectures which do not support hugepage migration, Signed-off-by:

Use "zone_end_pfn()" instead of "zone->zone_start_pfn + zone->spanned_pages". Simplify the code, no functional change. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by:
