commit 920f893f735e92ba3a1cd9256899a186b161928d upstream.

Wongi and Jungwoo decoded and reported a non-leader exec() related race
which can result in an UAF:

 sys_timer_delete()			exec()
   posix_cpu_timer_del()
   // Observes old leader
   p = pid_task(pid, pid_type);		de_thread()
   					  switch_leader();
					  release_task(old_leader)
					    __exit_signal(old_leader)
					      sighand = lock(old_leader, sighand);
					      posix_cpu_timers*_exit();
   sighand = lock_task_sighand(p)	      unhash_task(old_leader);
     sh = lock(p, sighand)	    	      old_leader-&gt;sighand = NULL;
					      unlock(sighand);
     (p-&gt;sighand == NULL)
	unlock(sh)
	return NULL;

   // Returns without action
   if(!sighand)
      return 0;
   free_posix_timer();

This is "harmless" unless the deleted timer was armed and enqueued in
p-&gt;signal because on exec() a TGID targeted timer is inherited.

As sys_timer_delete() freed the underlying posix timer object
run_posix_cpu_timers() or any timerqueue related add/delete operations on
other timers will access the freed object's timerqueue node, which results
in an UAF.

There is a similar problem vs. posix_cpu_timer_set(). For regular posix
timers it just transiently returns -ESRCH to user space, but for the use
case in do_cpu_nanosleep() it's the same UAF just that the k_itimer is
allocated on the stack.

Also posix_cpu_timer_rearm() fails to rearm the timer, which means it stops
to expire.

While debating solutions Frederic pointed out another problem:

   posix_cpu_timer_del(tmr)
					__exit_signal(p)
					  posix_cpu_timers*_exit(p);
					  unhash_task(p);
					  p-&gt;sighand = NULL;
     sh = lock_task_sighand(p)
        sighand = p-&gt;sighand;
	if (!sighand)
	    return NULL;
	lock(sighand);

     if (!sh)
	WARN_ON_ONCE(timer_queued(tmr));

On weakly ordered architectures it is not guaranteed that
posix_cpu_timer_del() will observe the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit()
when p-&gt;sighand is observed as NULL, which means the WARN() can be a false
positive.

Solve these issues by:

  1) Changing the store in __exit_signal() to smp_store_release().

  2) Adding a smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() into the !sighand path
     of lock_task_sighand().

  3) Creating a helper function for looking up the task and locking sighand
     which does not return when sighand == NULL. Instead it retries the
     task lookup and only if that fails it gives up.

  4) Using that helper in the three affected functions.

#1/#2 ensures that the reader side which observes sighand == NULL also
observes all preceeding stores, i.e. the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit()
and the ones in unhash_task().

#3 ensures that the above described non-leader exec() situation is handled
gracefully. When the task lookup returns the old leader, but sighand ==
NULL then it retries. In the non-leader exec() case the subsequent task
lookup will observe the new leader due to #1/#2. In normal exit() scenarios
the subsequent lookup fails.

When the task lookup fails, the function also checks whether the timer is
still enqueued and issues a warning if that's the case. Unfortunately there
is nothing which can be done about it, but as the task is already not
longer visible the timer should not be accessed anymore. This check also
requires memory ordering, which is not provided when the first lookup
fails. To achieve that the check is preceeded by a smp_rmb() which pairs
with the smp_wmb() in write_seqlock() in __exit_signal(). That ensures that
the stores in posix_cpu_timers*_exit() are visible.

The history of the non-leader exec() issue goes back to the early days of
posix CPU timers, which stored a pointer to the group leader task in the
timer. That obviously fails when a non-leader exec() switches the leader.
commit e0a70217107e ("posix-cpu-timers: workaround to suppress the problems
with mt exec") added a temporary workaround for that in 2010 which survived
about 10 years. The fix for the workaround changed the task pointer to a
pid pointer, but failed to see the subtle race described above. So the
Fixes tag picks that commit, which seems to be halfways accurate.

Thanks to Frederic Weissbecker, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra for
review, feedback and suggestions and to Wongi and Jungwoo for the excellent
bug report and analysis!

<title>mm: refactor mm_access() to not return NULL</title>

[ Upstream commit cd3f8467afd470ccab0de2fbc7c76664af4a0bac ]

mm_access() can return NULL if the mm is not found, but this is handled
the same as an error in all callers, with some translating this into an
-ESRCH error.

Only proc_mem_open() returns NULL if no mm is found, however in this case
it is clearer and makes more sense to explicitly handle the error.
Additionally we take the opportunity to refactor the function to eliminate
unnecessary nesting.

Simplify things by simply returning -ESRCH if no mm is found - this both
eliminates confusing use of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() macro, and simplifies
callers which would return -ESRCH by returning this error directly.

commit 73a4c02f94a98d94480c3e5c81450215a4da05ba upstream.

Commit df4d29732fda ("perf/x86/amd: Change/fix NMI latency mitigation
to use a timestamp") fixed handling of late-arriving NMIs but limited
the mitigation to processors having X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE. However,
it is unclear if processors without this feature are also affected.
When Mediated vPMU is enabled on affected hardware, it is also possible
to bypass the fix inside KVM guests if X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE is
removed from the guest CPUID (e.g. using "-cpu host,-perfctr-core" with
QEMU). Hence, use the mitigation at all times.

<title>ALSA: seq: Fix uninitialised heap leak in snd_seq_event_dup()</title>

<id>a224c84e5d3d35708c082c84ad12d81d90762195</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 435990e25bf1f4af3e6df12a6fbfd1f7ba4a97d4 upstream.

snd_seq_event_dup() copies an incoming event into a pool cell and, in
the UMP-enabled build, clears the trailing cell-&gt;ump.raw.extra word that
the memcpy() did not cover.  The guard deciding whether to clear it
compares the copied size against sizeof(cell-&gt;event):

	memcpy(&amp;cell-&gt;ump, event, size);
	if (size &lt; sizeof(cell-&gt;event))
		cell-&gt;ump.raw.extra = 0;

For a legacy (non-UMP) event, size == sizeof(struct snd_seq_event) ==
sizeof(cell-&gt;event), so the condition is false and the extra word keeps
stale data.  The cell pool is allocated with kvmalloc() (not zeroed) and
cells are reused via a free list, so that word holds uninitialised heap
or leftover event data.

When such a cell is delivered to a UMP client (client-&gt;midi_version &gt; 0)
that set SNDRV_SEQ_FILTER_NO_CONVERT -- so the legacy event reaches it
unconverted -- snd_seq_read() reads it out as the larger struct
snd_seq_ump_event and copies the stale word to user space, a 4-byte
kernel heap infoleak to an unprivileged /dev/snd/seq client.

Compare against sizeof(cell-&gt;ump) instead, so the trailing word is zeroed
for every event shorter than the UMP cell.

commit 435990e25bf1f4af3e6df12a6fbfd1f7ba4a97d4 upstream.

snd_seq_event_dup() copies an incoming event into a pool cell and, in
the UMP-enabled build, clears the trailing cell-&gt;ump.raw.extra word that
the memcpy() did not cover.  The guard deciding whether to clear it
compares the copied size against sizeof(cell-&gt;event):

	memcpy(&amp;cell-&gt;ump, event, size);
	if (size &lt; sizeof(cell-&gt;event))
		cell-&gt;ump.raw.extra = 0;

For a legacy (non-UMP) event, size == sizeof(struct snd_seq_event) ==
sizeof(cell-&gt;event), so the condition is false and the extra word keeps
stale data.  The cell pool is allocated with kvmalloc() (not zeroed) and
cells are reused via a free list, so that word holds uninitialised heap
or leftover event data.

When such a cell is delivered to a UMP client (client-&gt;midi_version &gt; 0)
that set SNDRV_SEQ_FILTER_NO_CONVERT -- so the legacy event reaches it
unconverted -- snd_seq_read() reads it out as the larger struct
snd_seq_ump_event and copies the stale word to user space, a 4-byte
kernel heap infoleak to an unprivileged /dev/snd/seq client.

commit 8b0b864c11a2e2ada470f9d5010e1c2bf1eceef2 upstream.

Clock period value is used for computing periods of sampling. There is
no need for it to be higher than the maximum odr, otherwise we are
losing precision in the computation for nothing.

Switch clock period value to maximum odr period (8kHz).

commit 8765429279e7d3d68d39ace5f84af2815174bb1e upstream.

When the kernel is built without UMP support but a user-space app
requires the midi_version &gt; 0, the kernel should return an error.
Otherwise user-space assumes as if it were possible to deal,
eventually hitting serious errors later.

commit 32108c22ac619c32dd6db594319e259b63bfb387 upstream.

UMP events don't use the event type field, hence it's invalid to apply
the filter, which may drop the events unexpectedly.
Skip the event filtering for UMP events, instead.
