From: Jaejoong Kim <climbbb.kim(a)gmail.com>
commit 89b89d121ffcf8d9546633b98ded9d18b8f75891 upstream.
snd_usb_copy_string_desc() returns zero if usb_string() fails.
In case of failure, we need to check the snd_usb_copy_string_desc()'s
return value and add an exception case

From: Robb Glasser <rglasser(a)google.com>
commit 362bca57f5d78220f8b5907b875961af9436e229 upstream.
When the device descriptor is closed, the `substream->runtime` pointer
is freed. But another thread may be in the ioctl handler, case
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_INFO. This case calls snd_pcm_info_user() which
calls snd_pcm_info() which accesses the now freed `substream->runtime`.
Note: this fixes CVE-2017-0861

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai(a)suse.de>
commit 43a3542870328601be02fcc9d27b09db467336ef upstream.
The use of snd_BUG_ON() in ALSA sequencer timer may lead to a spurious
WARN_ON() when a slave timer is deployed as its backend and a
corresponding master timer stops meanwhile. The symptom was triggered
by syzkaller spontaneously.
Since the NULL timer is valid there, rip off snd_BUG_ON().

acpi_os_get_root_pointer() may return a valid address even if acpi_disabled
is set, but the host bridge information from the ACPI tables is not going
to be used in that case and the Broadcom host bridge initialization should
not be skipped then, So make broadcom_postcore_init() check acpi_disabled
too to avoid this issue.

Subject: X.509: reject invalid BIT STRING for subjectPublicKey
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers(a)google.com>
commit 0f30cbea005bd3077bd98cd29277d7fc2699c1da upstream.
Adding a specially crafted X.509 certificate whose subjectPublicKey
ASN.1 value is zero-length caused x509_extract_key_data() to set the
public key size to SIZE_MAX, as it subtracted the nonexistent BIT STRING
metadata byte. Then, x509_cert_parse() called kmemdup() with that bogus
size, triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() in kmalloc_slab().
This appears to be harmless, but it still must be fixed since WARNs are
never supposed to be user-triggerable.
Fix it by updating x509_cert_parse() to validate that the value has a
BIT STRING metadata byte, and that the byte is 0 which indicates that
the number of bits in the bitstring is a multiple of 8.
It would be nice to handle the metadata byte in asn1_ber_decoder()
instead. But that would be tricky because in the general case a BIT
STRING could be implicitly tagged, and/or could legitimately have a
length that is not a whole number of bytes.

From: Huacai Chen <chenhc(a)lemote.com>
commit 90addc6b3c9cda0146fbd62a08e234c2b224a80c upstream.
In non-coherent DMA mode, kernel uses cache flushing operations to
maintain I/O coherency, so scsi's block queue should be aligned to the
value returned by dma_get_cache_alignment(). Otherwise, If a DMA buffer
and a kernel structure share a same cache line, and if the kernel
structure has dirty data, cache_invalidate (no writeback) will cause
data corruption.

From: Andrew Honig <ahonig(a)google.com>
commit d59d51f088014f25c2562de59b9abff4f42a7468 upstream.
This fixes CVE-2017-1000407.
KVM allows guests to directly access I/O port 0x80 on Intel hosts. If
the guest floods this port with writes it generates exceptions and
instability in the host kernel, leading to a crash. With this change
guest writes to port 0x80 on Intel will behave the same as they
currently behave on AMD systems.
Prevent the flooding by removing the code that sets port 0x80 as a
passthrough port. This is essentially the same as upstream patch
99f85a28a78e96d28907fe036e1671a218fee597, except that patch was
for AMD chipsets and this patch is for Intel.

Subject: scsi: dma-mapping: always provide dma_get_cache_alignment
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch(a)lst.de>
commit 860dd4424f344400b491b212ee4acb3a358ba9d9 upstream.
Provide the dummy version of dma_get_cache_alignment that always returns
1 even if CONFIG_HAS_DMA is not set, so that drivers and subsystems can
use it without ifdefs.
