<title>ring-buffer: Use current_context for safe per-CPU buffer swap</title>

[ Upstream commit f27bdc43077e4fcb5557dfc315ee8d91e741f483 ]

The ring_buffer_swap_cpu() function currently checks the per-CPU
committing counter to determine if a buffer is actively being written to
before performing the swap. However, there exists a race window where
this check can be bypassed:

    ring_buffer_lock_reserve
        cpu_buffer = buffer-&gt;buffers[cpu];       // cpu_buffer_a
        rb_reserve_next_event
            rb_start_commit // inc committing
            if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer-&gt;buffer) != buffer)) {...}
            __rb_reserve_next
                rb_move_tail
                    rb_end_commit(cpu_buffer);   // dec committing =&gt; 0
                    /* interrupt hits here, successfully swaps! */
                    local_inc(&amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;committing);

    ring_buffer_unlock_commit
        cpu_buffer = buffer-&gt;buffers[cpu];      // cpu_buffer_b
        rb_commit
            rb_end_commit
            RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;committing))
                                                // triggers warning

The committing counter can temporarily drop to 0 during a single write
operation (within rb_move_tail), creating a window where swap can
succeed even though the write is still in progress. This leads to
inconsistent buffer state and triggers the RB_WARN_ON in rb_commit().

Replace the committing counter check with current_context checks, which
are set at the entry of ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and remain valid
throughout the entire write operation, providing a reliable indicator of
buffer busy state during swap.

[ Upstream commit f115d2b70bff2665f67fa8e8dc5ed9452b696c44 ]

The function ring_buffer_swap_cpu() has a bunch of jumps to the label out
that simply returns "ret". There's no reason to jump to a label that
simply returns a value. Just return directly from there.

This goes back to almost the beginning when commit 8aabee573dff
("ring-buffer: remove unneeded get_online_cpus") was introduced. That
commit removed a put_online_cpus() from that label, but never updated all
the jumps to it that now no longer needed to do anything but return a
value.

<title>net: harmonize tstats and dstats</title>

commit d3ed6dee73c560fad0a8e152c8e233b3fb3a2e44 upstream.

After the blamed commits below, some UDP tunnel use dstats for
accounting. On the xmit path, all the UDP-base tunnels ends up
using iptunnel_xmit_stats() for stats accounting, and the latter
assumes the relevant (tunnel) network device uses tstats.

The end result is some 'funny' stat report for the mentioned UDP
tunnel, e.g. when no packet is actually dropped and a bunch of
packets are transmitted:

gnv2: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue \
		state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ee:7d:09:87:90:ea brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    RX:  bytes packets errors dropped  missed   mcast
         14916      23      0      15       0       0
    TX:  bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns
             0    1566      0       0       0       0

Address the issue ensuring the same binary layout for the overlapping
fields of dstats and tstats. While this solution is a bit hackish, is
smaller and with no performance pitfall compared to other alternatives
i.e. supporting both dstat and tstat in iptunnel_xmit_stats() or
reverting the blamed commit.

With time we should possibly move all the IP-based tunnel (and virtual
devices) to dstats.

<title>binfmt_misc: use exe_file_deny_write_access() for the interpreter clone</title>

commit fa5990ca8fd917003e526036bcc50413edb9722c upstream.

For MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE entries load_misc_binary() clones the
registered interpreter file and denies write access to the clone via
plain deny_write_access(). The clone is installed as
bprm-&gt;interpreter and later released by the exec machinery through
exe_file_allow_write_access() which skips the i_writecount increment
for files with FMODE_FSNOTIFY_HSM set.

The deny and allow side can therefore come to different conclusions
when pre-content watches are in play: if a pre-content watch is added
to the interpreter after registration every subsequent exec through
that entry takes a write denial on the clone that is never paired
with a write allowance, driving the interpreter inode's i_writecount
further down with each exec and leaving the interpreter unwritable
even after the entry and all its users are gone.

Take the write denial via exe_file_deny_write_access() so both sides
of the pairing base their decision on the same file mode, and
propagate failure instead of silently ignoring it: an interpreter
that is concurrently open for writing now fails the exec with
ETXTBSY, exactly like an interpreter freshly opened via open_exec()
would.

<title>net/x25: fix use-after-free of the socket by its timers</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2195424c3da2ef1829a63b807e3a900a90e57d85 upstream.

The x25 timers are armed with mod_timer() and cancelled with
timer_delete(), so a pending timer holds no reference on the socket and a
cancel does not wait for a callback already running on another CPU.

x25_heartbeat_expiry() also rearms unconditionally, so it can reinstall
sk-&gt;sk_timer after __x25_destroy_socket() has passed its cancel point.
The following __sock_put() frees the socket while the timer is still
queued, and the next expiry uses freed memory.  KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free on the kmalloc-2k object freed by close().

timer_delete_sync() cannot be used here: x25_heartbeat_expiry() and
x25_timer_expiry() both reach the cancels from inside the timer they
would wait on, through __x25_destroy_socket() and x25_disconnect().

Arm the timers with sk_reset_timer() and cancel them with sk_stop_timer()
so that an armed timer owns a reference, and release it in both expiry
handlers.  Rearm the heartbeat only while sk_hashed(sk) is still true,
since __x25_destroy_socket() unlinks the socket before dropping it.  Arm
the deferred destroy timer the same way and drop its reference in
x25_destroy_timer().

Reproduced on net with KASAN, with the heartbeat period shortened so the
window recurs.  With this patch the reproducer no longer triggers a
report and /proc/net/x25 drains.

commit 2195424c3da2ef1829a63b807e3a900a90e57d85 upstream.

The x25 timers are armed with mod_timer() and cancelled with
timer_delete(), so a pending timer holds no reference on the socket and a
cancel does not wait for a callback already running on another CPU.

x25_heartbeat_expiry() also rearms unconditionally, so it can reinstall
sk-&gt;sk_timer after __x25_destroy_socket() has passed its cancel point.
The following __sock_put() frees the socket while the timer is still
queued, and the next expiry uses freed memory.  KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free on the kmalloc-2k object freed by close().

timer_delete_sync() cannot be used here: x25_heartbeat_expiry() and
x25_timer_expiry() both reach the cancels from inside the timer they
would wait on, through __x25_destroy_socket() and x25_disconnect().

Arm the timers with sk_reset_timer() and cancel them with sk_stop_timer()
so that an armed timer owns a reference, and release it in both expiry
handlers.  Rearm the heartbeat only while sk_hashed(sk) is still true,
since __x25_destroy_socket() unlinks the socket before dropping it.  Arm
the deferred destroy timer the same way and drop its reference in
x25_destroy_timer().

Reproduced on net with KASAN, with the heartbeat period shortened so the
window recurs.  With this patch the reproducer no longer triggers a
report and /proc/net/x25 drains.

[ Upstream commit a64d500b0078e16e9abb25baca4dee1dbc9054fc ]

CONFIG_NR_CPUS doesn't define on some UP platforms (e.g.  arm), so this
can cause make oldconfig to loop indefinitely when CONFIG_SMP=n:

  $ make ARCH=arm allmodconfig
  $ sed -i "/CONFIG_SMP=y/d" .config
  $ sed -i "/CONFIG_EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA_DEFAULT_MAX_STREAMS.*/d" .config

  EROFS LZMA default maximum decompression streams (EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA_DEFAULT_MAX_STREAMS) [0] (NEW)
  EROFS LZMA default maximum decompression streams (EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA_DEFAULT_MAX_STREAMS) [0] (NEW)
  ...

Let's guard NR_CPUS with SMP instead of using a hardcoded arbitrary CPU
uplimit here, similar to commit a3344078101c ("mm: make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS
depend on SMP").

The initial report from SJ Park was for m68k [1] (m68k is the only arch
without NR_CPUS in Kconfig), and that got fixed in commit 1fd495ef09ee
("m68k: Define NR_CPUS to 1")

[ Upstream commit 120977e2c096deea4e866e4273be9220b957c29e ]

cls_bpf_prog_from_efd() obtained a SCHED_CLS program via
bpf_prog_get_type_dev() but never verified that a device-bound (offloaded)
program's bound netdev matches the TC netdev the classifier is being
attached to. This let a program loaded with prog_ifindex for device A be
attached via cls_bpf + skip_sw to device B; deleting device A then
destroyed the program's offload state while it was still attached to
device B, triggering a netdevsim WARN (panic with panic_on_warn=1).

Mirror the XDP attach path (net/core/dev.c) and reject the attach with
-EINVAL when a dev-bound program's bound device does not match the
target device.

[ Upstream commit 36a05d2820077bb3955acb8111e1041d39148037 ]

On the packet reception path, the ID of the MAC Port on which the packet
was received, is embedded in the RX DMA Descriptor's metadata. The ID is
extracted using the helper function cppi5_desc_get_tags_ids() which fills
in the 16-bit Source Tag into the 'port_id' variable. However, it is only
the lower 8-bits of the 16-bit Source Tag that represent the MAC Port ID,
while the upper 8-bits are Hardware-Reserved and carry an arbitrary value.
With the existing logic, sporadic kernel crash is observed due to the
subsequent driver code accessing out-of-bound memory because of an invalid
port_id.

Hence, fix the port_id extraction logic to use only the lower 8-bits of the
Source Tag as the MAC Port ID.

[ Upstream commit 1fd495ef09eef96169a379a749c24b5e69974bb8 ]

This fixes a Kconfig warning

	fs/erofs/Kconfig:137:warning: range is invalid

which originates from EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA_DEFAULT_MAX_STREAMS using
NR_CPUS which up to now didn't exist for ARCH=m68k.  All other
architectures define this symbol, so fix the outlier.

[geert] This also fixes:
  - CONFIG_EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA_DEFAULT_MAX_STREAMS being set to the
    literal NR_CPUS instead of a number by automatic configs like
    "make allmodconfig" or "make olddefconfig",
  - An infinite loop in manual configs like "make oldconfig" when
    CONFIG_EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA_DEFAULT_MAX_STREAMS is not present or
    has an invalid value in your existing .config.
