Unsurprisingly, Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 exhibits the same behaviour
as TSB43AB22/A in dual buffer IR DMA mode: If descriptors are located
at physical addresses above the 31 bit address range (2 GB), the
controller will overwrite random memory. With luck, this merely
prevents video reception. With only a little less luck, the machine
crashes.
We use the same workaround here as with TSB43AB22/A: Switch off the
dual buffer capability flag and use packet-per-buffer IR DMA instead.
Another possible workaround would be to limit the coherent DMA mask to
31 bits.
In Linux 2.6.33, this change serves effectively only as documentation
since dual buffer mode is not used for any controller anymore. But
somebody might want to re-enable it in the future to make use of
features of dual buffer DMA that are not available in packet-per-buffer
mode.
In Linux 2.6.32 and older, this update is vital for anyone with this
controller, more than 2 GB RAM, a 64 bit kernel, and FireWire video or
audio applications.
We have at least four reports:

Commit db5d247a "firewire: fix use of multiple AV/C devices, allow
multiple FCP listeners" introduced a regression into 2.6.33-rc3:
The core freed payloads of incoming requests to FCP_Request or
FCP_Response before a userspace driver accessed them.
We need to copy such payloads for each registered userspace client
and free the copies according to the lifetime rules of non-FCP client
request resources.
(This could possibly be optimized by reference counts instead of
copies.)
The presently only kernelspace driver which listens for FCP requests,
firedtv, was not affected because it already copies FCP frames into an
own buffer before returning to firewire-core's FCP handler dispatcher.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
Presently, firewire-core only checks whether descriptors that are to be
added by userspace drivers to the local node's config ROM do not exceed
a size of 256 quadlets. However, the sum of the bare minimum ROM plus
all descriptors (from firewire-core, from firewire-net, from userspace)
must not exceed 256 quadlets.
Otherwise, the bounds of a statically allocated buffer will be
overwritten. If the kernel survives that, firewire-core will
subsequently be unable to parse the local node's config ROM.
(Note, userspace drivers can add descriptors only through device files
of local nodes. These are usually only accessible by root, unlike
device files of remote nodes which may be accessible to lesser
privileged users.)
Therefore add a test which takes the actual present and required ROM
size into account for all descriptors of kernelspace and userspace
drivers.

I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected
OOM. After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side
and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side. As
the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal
skb, the host cannot proceed.
The guest did not have a refill job scheduled.
My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill
job scheduled. The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but
not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed.
As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely
to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall.
The following patch removes this stall possibility by always
rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled.
Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas
previously it would occur within a day.

The aer_inject module hangs in aer_inject() when checking the device's
error masks. The hang is due to a recursive use of the aer_inject lock.
The aer_inject() routine grabs the lock while processing the error and then
calls pci_read_config_dword to read the masks. The pci_read_config_dword
routine is earlier overridden by pci_read_aer, which among other things,
grabs the aer_inject lock.
Fixed by moving the pci_read_config_dword calls to read the masks to before
the lock is taken.

Resending this with Thomas Hellstrom's signoff for merging into 2.6.33
ttm_bo_delayed_delete has a race condition, because after we do:
kref_put(&nentry->list_kref, ttm_bo_release_list);
we are not holding the list lock and not holding any reference to
objects, and thus every bo in the list can be removed and freed at
this point.
However, we then use the next pointer we stored, which is not guaranteed
to be valid.
This was apparently the cause of some Nouveau oopses I experienced.
This patch rewrites the function so that it keeps the reference to nentry
until nentry itself is freed and we already got a reference to nentry->next.

When testing the "e1000: enhance frame fragment detection" (and e1000e)
patches we found some bugs with reducing the MTU size. The 1024 byte
descriptor used with the 1000 mtu test also (re) introduced the
(originally) reported bug, and causes us to need the e1000_clean_tx_irq
"enhance frame fragment detection" fix.
So what has occured here is that 2.6.32 is only vulnerable for mtu <
1500 due to the jumbo specific routines in both e1000 and e1000e.
So, 2.6.32 needs the 2kB buffer len fix for those smaller MTUs, but
is not vulnerable to the original issue reported. It has been pointed
out that this vulnerability needs to be patched in older kernels that
don't have the e1000 jumbo routine. Without the jumbo routines, we
need the "enhance frame fragment detection" fix the e1000, old
e1000e is only vulnerable for < 1500 mtu, and needs a similar
fix. We split the patches up to provide easy backport paths.
There is only a slight bit of extra code when this fix and the
original "enhance frame fragment detection" fixes are applied, so
please apply both, even though it is a bit of overkill.

Hey all-
A security discussion was recently given:
http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html
And a patch that I submitted awhile back was brought up. Apparently some of
their testing revealed that they were able to force a buffer fragment in e1000
in which the trailing fragment was greater than 4 bytes. As a result the
fragment check I introduced failed to detect the fragement and a partial
invalid frame was passed up into the network stack. I've written this patch
to correct it. I'm in the process of testing it now, but it makes good
logical sense to me. Effectively it maintains a per-adapter state variable
which detects a non-EOP frame, and discards it and subsequent non-EOP frames
leading up to _and_ _including_ the next positive-EOP frame (as it is by
definition the last fragment). This should prevent any and all partial frames
from entering the network stack from e1000.

Resolves kernel.org bug 14914.
Remove entry for 2770:915d (usb digital camera with mass storage
support) from unusual_devs.h. The fix triggered by the entry causes
the file system on the camera to be completely inaccessible (no
partition table, the device is not mountable).
The patch works, but let me clarify a few things about it. All the
patch does is remove the entry for this device from the
drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h, which is supposed to help with a
problem with the device's reported size (I think). I'm pretty sure it
was originally added for a reason, so I'm not sure removing it won't
cause other problems to reappear. Also, I should note that this
unusual_devs.h entry was present (and activating workarounds) in
2.6.29, but in that version everything works fine. Starting with
2.6.30, things no longer work.

[ 427.916699] Call Trace:
The problem is caused by a mismatch between the USB core's view of the
device state and the USB device and xHCI host's view of the device state.
After the device reset and re-configuration, the device and the xHCI host
think they are using alternate setting 0 of all interfaces. However, the
USB core keeps track of the old state, which may include non-zero
alternate settings. It uses intf->cur_altsetting to keep the endpoint
sysfs files for the old state across the reset.
The bandwidth allocation functions need to know what the xHCI host thinks
the current alternate settings are, so original patch set
intf->cur_altsetting to the alternate setting 0. This caused duplicate
endpoint files to be created.
The solution is to not set intf->cur_altsetting before calling
usb_set_interface() in usb_reset_and_verify_device(). Instead, we add a
new flag to struct usb_interface to tell usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() to use
alternate setting 0 as the currently installed alternate setting.

This patch (as1330) fixes a bug in khbud's handling of remote
wakeups. When a device sends a remote-wakeup request, the parent hub
(or the host controller driver, for directly attached devices) begins
the resume sequence and notifies khubd when the sequence finishes. At
this point the port's SUSPEND feature is automatically turned off.
However the device needs an additional 10-ms resume-recovery time
(TRSMRCY in the USB spec). Khubd does not wait for this delay if the
SUSPEND feature is off, and as a result some devices fail to behave
properly following a remote wakeup. This patch adds the missing
delay to the remote-wakeup path.
It also extends the resume-signalling delay used by ehci-hcd and
uhci-hcd from 20 ms (the value in the spec) to 25 ms (the value we use
for non-remote-wakeup resumes). The extra time appears to help some
devices.

This patch (as1321) fixes a problem with EHCI and UHCI root-hub
suspends: If the suspend occurs while a port is trying to resume, the
resume doesn't finish and simply gets lost. When remote wakeup is
enabled, this is undesirable behavior.
The patch checks first to see if any port resumes are in progress, and
if they are then it fails the root-hub suspend with -EBUSY.

This patch (as1320) fixes two problems related to interrupt-URB
scheduling in ehci-hcd.
URBs with an interval of 2 or 4 microframes aren't handled.
For the time being, the patch reduces to interval to 1 uframe.
URBs are constrained to have an interval no larger than 1024
frames by usb_submit_urb(). But some EHCI controllers allow
use of a schedule as short as 256 frames; for these
controllers we may have to decrease the interval to the
actual schedule length.
The second problem isn't very significant since few devices expose
interrupt endpoints with an interval larger than 256 frames. But the
first problem is critical; it will prevent the kernel from working
with devices having interrupt intervals of 2 or 4 uframes.

Perform a tricky suspend/resume even with no_console_suspend.
With no_console_suspend, kernel skips serial port suspend/resume and the
serial hardware may remain in undefined state after resume. It actually
happens on devices that don't have BIOS that handle serial
initialization. It makes impossible to use serial console after resume.
Devices affected by this problem include:
Sharp Zaurus devices
Several PXA based ARM embedded boards
The patch does:
- Save the hardware state
- Perform buffer flush in time of its suspend call
- Tell the driver that port is suspended
- But still accept new data
- And keep console hardware in state that allows to send them
It allows to capture late console messages without breaking console
after resume.
This is just a resend of a patch discussed in these threads, as the
patch was not yet applied.

This patch workaround a possible security issue which can allow
user to abuse drm on r6xx/r7xx hw to access any system ram memory.
This patch doesn't break userspace, it detect "valid" old use of
CB_COLOR[0-7]_FRAG & CB_COLOR[0-7]_TILE registers and overwritte
the address these registers are pointing to with the one of the
last color buffer. This workaround will work for old mesa &
xf86-video-ati and any old user which did use similar register
programming pattern as those (we expect that there is no others
user of those ioctl except possibly a malicious one). This patch
add a warning if it detects such usage, warning encourage people
to update their mesa & xf86-video-ati. New userspace will submit
proper relocation.
Fix for xf86-video-ati / mesa (this kernel patch is enough to
prevent abuse, fix for userspace are to set proper cs stream and
avoid kernel warning) :
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=95d63e408cc88b6934bec84a0b1ef94dfe8bee7bhttp://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=46dc6fd3ed5ef96cda53641a97bc68c3bc104a9f
Abusing this register to perform system ram memory is not easy,
here is outline on how it could be achieve. First attacker must
have access to the drm device and be able to submit command stream
throught cs ioctl. Then attacker must build a proper command stream
for r6xx/r7xx hw which will abuse the FRAG or TILE buffer to
overwrite the GPU GART which is in VRAM. To achieve so attacker
as to setup CB_COLOR[0-7]_FRAG or CB_COLOR[0-7]_TILE to point
to the GPU GART, then it has to find a way to write predictable
value into those buffer (with little cleverness i believe this
can be done but this is an hard task). Once attacker have such
program it can overwritte GPU GART to program GPU gart to point
anywhere in system memory. It then can reusse same method as he
used to reprogram GART to overwritte the system ram through the
GART mapping. In the process the attacker has to be carefull to
not overwritte any sensitive area of the GART table, like ring
or IB gart entry as it will more then likely lead to GPU lockup.
Bottom line is that i think it's very hard to use this flaw
to get system ram access but in theory one can achieve so.
Side note: I am not aware of anyone ever using the GPU as an
attack vector, nevertheless we take great care in the opensource
driver to try to detect and forbid malicious use of GPU. I don't
think the closed source driver are as cautious as we are.

If ib initialization failed don't try to test ib as it will result
in an oops (accessing NULL ib buffer ptr).

This will avoid oops if at later point the fb is use. Trying to create
a framebuffer with no valid GEM object is bogus and should be forbidden
as this patch does.
