commit abce9ac292 upstream.
tpm_write calls tpm_transmit without checking the return value and
assigns the return value unconditionally to chip->pending_data, even if
it's an error value.
This causes three bugs.
So if we write to /dev/tpm0 with a tpm_param_size bigger than
TPM_BUFSIZE=0x1000 (e.g. 0x100a)
and a bufsize also bigger than TPM_BUFSIZE (e.g. 0x100a)
tpm_transmit returns -E2BIG which is assigned to chip->pending_data as
-7, but tpm_write returns that TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been successfully
been written to the TPM, altough this is not true (bug #1).
As we did write more than than TPM_BUFSIZE bytes but tpm_write reports
that only TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been written the vfs tries to write
the remaining bytes (in this case 10 bytes) to the tpm device driver via
tpm_write which then blocks at
/* cannot perform a write until the read has cleared
either via tpm_read or a user_read_timer timeout */
while (atomic_read(&chip->data_pending) != 0)
msleep(TPM_TIMEOUT);
for 60 seconds, since data_pending is -7 and nobody is able to
read it (since tpm_read luckily checks if data_pending is greater than
0) (#bug 2).
After that the remaining bytes are written to the TPM which are
interpreted by the tpm as a normal command. (bug #3)
So if the last bytes of the command stream happen to be a e.g.
tpm_force_clear this gets accidentally sent to the TPM.
This patch fixes all three bugs, by propagating the error code of
tpm_write and returning -E2BIG if the input buffer is too big,
since the response from the tpm for a truncated value is bogus anyway.
Moreover it returns -EBUSY to userspace if there is a response ready to be
read.

commit cbc96b7594 upstream.
Many platforms have per-machine instance data (serial numbers,
asset tags, etc.) squirreled away in areas that are accessed
during early system bringup. Mixing this data into the random
pools has a very high value in providing better random data,
so we should allow (and even encourage) architecture code to
call add_device_randomness() from the setup_arch() paths.
However, this limits our options for internal structure of
the random driver since random_initialize() is not called
until long after setup_arch().
Add a big fat comment to rand_initialize() spelling out
this requirement.

commit c2557a303a upstream.
Create a new function, get_random_bytes_arch() which will use the
architecture-specific hardware random number generator if it is
present. Change get_random_bytes() to not use the HW RNG, even if it
is avaiable.
The reason for this is that the hw random number generator is fast (if
it is present), but it requires that we trust the hardware
manufacturer to have not put in a back door. (For example, an
increasing counter encrypted by an AES key known to the NSA.)
It's unlikely that Intel (for example) was paid off by the US
Government to do this, but it's impossible for them to prove otherwise
--- especially since Bull Mountain is documented to use AES as a
whitener. Hence, the output of an evil, trojan-horse version of
RDRAND is statistically indistinguishable from an RDRAND implemented
to the specifications claimed by Intel. Short of using a tunnelling
electronic microscope to reverse engineer an Ivy Bridge chip and
disassembling and analyzing the CPU microcode, there's no way for us
to tell for sure.
Since users of get_random_bytes() in the Linux kernel need to be able
to support hardware systems where the HW RNG is not present, most
time-sensitive users of this interface have already created their own
cryptographic RNG interface which uses get_random_bytes() as a seed.
So it's much better to use the HW RNG to improve the existing random
number generator, by mixing in any entropy returned by the HW RNG into
/dev/random's entropy pool, but to always _use_ /dev/random's entropy
pool.
This way we get almost of the benefits of the HW RNG without any
potential liabilities. The only benefits we forgo is the
speed/performance enhancements --- and generic kernel code can't
depend on depend on get_random_bytes() having the speed of a HW RNG
anyway.
For those places that really want access to the arch-specific HW RNG,
if it is available, we provide get_random_bytes_arch().

Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the

even per boot). This would be things like MAC addresses or serial
numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual
entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values
for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little
entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).

commit 775f4b297b upstream.
We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various
reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the
CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy
from a somewhat externally controllable source.
This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition
to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first.
During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu
pool. Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is
initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool. This
assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as
possible.

commit cf833d0b99 upstream.
We still don't use rdrand in /dev/random, which just seems stupid. We
accept the *cycle*counter* as a random input, but we don't accept
rdrand? That's just broken.
Sure, people can do things in user space (write to /dev/random, use
rdrand in addition to /dev/random themselves etc etc), but that
*still* seems to be a particularly stupid reason for saying "we
shouldn't bother to try to do better in /dev/random".
And even if somebody really doesn't trust rdrand as a source of random
bytes, it seems singularly stupid to trust the cycle counter *more*.
So I'd suggest the attached patch. I'm not going to even bother
arguing that we should add more bits to the entropy estimate, because
that's not the point - I don't care if /dev/random fills up slowly or
not, I think it's just stupid to not use the bits we can get from
rdrand and mix them into the strong randomness pool.

This is identical to a parisc build error. Fengguang Wu, Mel Gorman

the problem. This fix and entire commit log is shamelessly copied

Dave Anglin says:
> Here is the line in sock.i:

The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a
constant expression.
The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.
MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)
Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.
For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

When interrupts are delayed due to interrupt masking or due to other
interrupts being serviced the HPET periodic-emuation would fail. This
happened because given an interval t and a time for the current interrupt
m we would compute the next time as t + m. This works until we are
delayed for > t, in which case we would be writing a new value which is in
fact in the past.
This can be solved by computing the next time instead as (k * t) + m where
k is large enough to be in the future. The exact computation of k is
described in a comment to the code.
More detail:
Assuming an interval of 5 between each expected interrupt we have a normal
case of
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t5: interrupt, read t5 from comparator, set next interrupt t5 + 5
t10: interrupt, read t10 from comparator, set next interrupt t10 + 5
...
So, what happens when the interrupt is serviced too late?
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t5 + 5, which is in the past!
... counter loops ...
t10: Much much later, get the next interrupt.
This can happen either because we have interrupts masked for too long
(some stupid driver goes on a printk rampage) or just because we are
pushing the limits of the interval (too small a period), or both most
probably.
My solution is to read the main counter as well and set the next interrupt
to occur at the right interval, for example:
t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5
t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next
interrupt t15 as t10 has been missed.
t15: back on track.

apm_mutex is locked by a process (e.g. apm -s) at the start of apm_ioctl() and
remains locked while pm_suspend() is called. Any subsequent process trying to
ACK the suspend (e.g. apmd) is then blocked at the start of apm_ioctl(),
causing the suspend to be delayed for 5 seconds in apm_suspend_notifier()
while the ACK times out. In short, ACKs don't work.
The driver's data structures are sufficiently protected by assorted locks. And
pm_suspend() has its own mutex to prevent reentrancy. Consequently there is no
obvious requirement for apm_mutex, which evolved from earlier BKL calls. So

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.
This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

Allow setting of maximal number of raw devices as a module parameter. This
requires changing of static array into a vmalloced one (the array is going to
be too large for kmalloc).

Remove the unnecessary initialization of "dev_t bsr_dev" since it's
subsequently used in an "alloc_chrdev_region()" call which uses that
variable in an output-only fashion.

As amd driver doesn't bind to PCI device, we'd better manage reource
allocation on our own to disallow (possible) conflicts.
