Revert "ppdev: use new parport device model"

2016-03-25T16:02:13Z

This reverts commit e7223f18603374d235d8bb0398532323e5f318b9. It causes problems when a ppdev tries to register before the parport driver has been registered with the device model. That will trigger the BUG_ON(!drv->bus->p); at drivers/base/driver.c:153. The call chain is kernel_init -> kernel_init_freeable -> do_one_initcall -> ppdev_init -> __parport_register_driver -> driver_register *BOOM* Reported-by: kernel test robot Reported-by: Ross Zwisler Reported-by: Petr Mladek Cc: Sudip Mukherjee Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ipmi/watchdog: use nmi_panic() when kernel panics in NMI handler

2016-03-22T22:36:02Z

Commit 1717f2096b54 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI") introduced nmi_panic() which prevents concurrent and recursive execution of panic(). It also saves registers for the crash dump on x86 by later commit 58c5661f2144 ("panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context"). ipmi_watchdog driver can call panic() from NMI handler, so replace it with nmi_panic().

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys). There's a background article at LWN.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/ The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of) protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected virtual memory range. This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that below). This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys - if a user-space application calls: mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); or mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC); (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this special case, and will set a special protection key on this memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true' PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either. We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion. There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this pull request. Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or flip the default" * 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (38 commits) x86/mm/pkeys: Fix mismerge of protection keys CPUID bits mm/pkeys: Fix siginfo ABI breakage caused by new u64 field x86/mm/pkeys: Fix access_error() denial of writes to write-only VMA mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add execute-only protection keys support x86/mm/pkeys: Create an x86 arch_calc_vm_prot_bits() for VMA flags x86/mm/pkeys: Allow kernel to modify user pkey rights register x86/fpu: Allow setting of XSAVE state x86/mm: Factor out LDT init from context init mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add arch_validate_pkey() mm/core, arch, powerpc: Pass a protection key in to calc_vm_flag_bits() x86/mm/pkeys: Actually enable Memory Protection Keys in the CPU x86/mm/pkeys: Add Kconfig prompt to existing config option x86/mm/pkeys: Dump pkey from VMA in /proc/pid/smaps x86/mm/pkeys: Dump PKRU with other kernel registers mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Differentiate instruction fetches x86/mm/pkeys: Optimize fault handling in access_error() mm/core: Do not enforce PKEY permissions on remote mm access um, pkeys: Add UML arch_*_access_permitted() methods mm/gup, x86/mm/pkeys: Check VMAs and PTEs for protection keys x86/mm/gup: Simplify get_user_pages() PTE bit handling ...

ipmi: do not probe ACPI devices if si_tryacpi is unset

2016-03-18T12:01:24Z

Extend the tryacpi module parameter to turn off acpi_ipmi_probe such that hard-coded options (type, ports, address, etc.) have complete control over the smi_info data structures setup by the driver. Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi_si: Avoid a wrong long timeout on transaction done

2016-03-18T12:01:23Z

Under some circumstances, the IPMI state machine could return a call without delay option but the driver would still do a long delay because the result wasn't checked. Instead of calling the state machine after transaction done, just go back to the top of the processing to start over. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard
