[ Upstream commit ed78f56e1271f108e8af61baeba383dcd77adbec ]

In case performance stats for an nvdimm are not available, reading the
'perf_stats' sysfs file returns an -ENOENT error. A better approach is
to make the 'perf_stats' file entirely invisible to indicate that
performance stats for an nvdimm are unavailable.

So this patch updates 'papr_nd_attribute_group' to add a 'is_visible'
callback implemented as newly introduced 'papr_nd_attribute_visible()'
that returns an appropriate mode in case performance stats aren't
supported in a given nvdimm.

Also the initialization of 'papr_scm_priv.stat_buffer_len' is moved
from papr_scm_nvdimm_init() to papr_scm_probe() so that it value is
available when 'papr_nd_attribute_visible()' is called during nvdimm
initialization.

Even though 'perf_stats' attribute is available since v5.9, there are
no known user-space tools/scripts that are dependent on presence of its
sysfs file. Hence I dont expect any user-space breakage with this
patch.

<title>clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected</title>

[ Upstream commit db3a34e17433de2390eb80d436970edcebd0ca3e ]

When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due
to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to
occur between the reads of the two clocks.  Yes, interrupts are disabled
across those two reads, but there are no shortage of things that can delay
interrupts-disabled regions of code ranging from SMI handlers to vCPU
preemption.  It would be good to have some indication as to why the clock
was marked unstable.

Therefore, re-read the watchdog clock on either side of the read from the
clock under test.  If the watchdog clock shows an excessive time delta
between its pair of reads, the reads are retried.

The maximum number of retries is specified by a new kernel boot parameter
clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries, which defaults to three, that is, up to
four reads, one initial and up to three retries.  If more than one retry
was required, a message is printed on the console (the occasional single
retry is expected behavior, especially in guest OSes).  If the maximum
number of retries is exceeded, the clock under test will be marked
unstable.  However, the probability of this happening due to various sorts
of delays is quite small.  In addition, the reason (clock-read delays) for
the unstable marking will be apparent.

<title>seccomp: Support atomic "addfd + send reply"</title>

[ Upstream commit 0ae71c7720e3ae3aabd2e8a072d27f7bd173d25c ]

Alban Crequy reported a race condition userspace faces when we want to
add some fds and make the syscall return them[1] using seccomp notify.

The problem is that currently two different ioctl() calls are needed by
the process handling the syscalls (agent) for another userspace process
(target): SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD to allocate the fd and
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND to return that value. Therefore, it is possible
for the agent to do the first ioctl to add a file descriptor but the
target is interrupted (EINTR) before the agent does the second ioctl()
call.

This patch adds a flag to the ADDFD ioctl() so it adds the fd and
returns that value atomically to the target program, as suggested by
Kees Cook[2]. This is done by simply allowing
seccomp_do_user_notification() to add the fd and return it in this case.
Therefore, in this case the target wakes up from the wait in
seccomp_do_user_notification() either to interrupt the syscall or to add
the fd and return it.

This "allocate an fd and return" functionality is useful for syscalls
that return a file descriptor only, like connect(2). Other syscalls that
return a file descriptor but not as return value (or return more than
one fd), like socketpair(), pipe(), recvmsg with SCM_RIGHTs, will not
work with this flag.

This effectively combines SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD and
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND into an atomic opteration. The notification's
return value, nor error can be set by the user. Upon successful invocation
of the SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD ioctl with the SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND
flag, the notifying process's errno will be 0, and the return value will
be the file descriptor number that was installed.

<title>hwmon: (max31790) Fix pwmX_enable attributes</title>

[ Upstream commit 148c847c9e5a54b99850617bf9c143af9a344f92 ]

pwmX_enable supports three possible values:

0: Fan control disabled. Duty cycle is fixed to 0%
1: Fan control enabled, pwm mode. Duty cycle is determined by
   values written into Target Duty Cycle registers.
2: Fan control enabled, rpm mode
   Duty cycle is adjusted such that fan speed matches
   the values in Target Count registers

The current code does not do this; instead, it mixes pwm control
configuration with fan speed monitoring configuration. Worse, it
reports that pwm control would be disabled (pwmX_enable==0) when
it is in fact enabled in pwm mode. Part of the problem may be that
the chip sets the "TACH input enable" bit on its own whenever the
mode bit is set to RPM mode, but that doesn't mean that "TACH input
enable" accurately reflects the pwm mode.

Fix it up and only handle pwm control with the pwmX_enable attributes.
In the documentation, clarify that disabling pwm control (pwmX_enable=0)
sets the pwm duty cycle to 0%. In the code, explain why TACH_INPUT_EN
is set together with RPM_MODE.

While at it, only update the configuration register if the configuration
has changed, and only update the cached configuration if updating the
chip configuration was successful.

[ Upstream commit 897f6339893b741a5d68ae8e2475df65946041c2 ]

The MAX31790 has two sets of registers for pwm duty cycles, one to request
a duty cycle and one to read the actual current duty cycle. Both do not
have to be the same.

When reporting the pwm duty cycle to the user, the actual pwm duty cycle
from pwm duty cycle registers needs to be reported. When setting it, the
pwm target duty cycle needs to be written. Since we don't know the actual
pwm duty cycle after a target pwm duty cycle has been written, set the
valid flag to false to indicate that actual pwm duty cycle should be read
from the chip instead of using cached values.

EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is an EVM initialization flag that can be set to
temporarily disable metadata verification until all xattrs/attrs necessary
to verify an EVM portable signature are copied to the file. This flag is
cleared when EVM is initialized with an HMAC key, to avoid that the HMAC is
calculated on unverified xattrs/attrs.

Currently EVM unnecessarily denies setting this flag if EVM is initialized
with a public key, which is not a concern as it cannot be used to trust
xattrs/attrs updates. This patch removes this limitation.

commit 9acc89d31f0c94c8e573ed61f3e4340bbd526d0c upstream.

EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is an EVM initialization flag that can be set to
temporarily disable metadata verification until all xattrs/attrs necessary
to verify an EVM portable signature are copied to the file. This flag is
cleared when EVM is initialized with an HMAC key, to avoid that the HMAC is
calculated on unverified xattrs/attrs.

Currently EVM unnecessarily denies setting this flag if EVM is initialized
with a public key, which is not a concern as it cannot be used to trust
xattrs/attrs updates. This patch removes this limitation.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - A build fix to always build modules with the 'medany' code model, as
   the module loader doesn't support 'medlow'.

 - A Kconfig warning fix for the SiFive errata.

 - A pair of fixes that for regressions to the recent memory layout
   changes.

 - A fix for the FU740 device tree.

After some investigation, I think I found the root cause: commit
2bfc6cd81bd ("move kernel mapping outside of linear mapping") moves
BPF JIT region after the kernel:

| #define BPF_JIT_REGION_START	PFN_ALIGN((unsigned long)&amp;_end)

The &amp;_end is unlikely aligned with PMD size, so the front bpf jit
region sits with part of kernel .data section in one PMD size mapping.
But kernel is mapped in PMD SIZE, when bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro() is
called to make the first bpf jit prog ROX, we will make part of kernel
.data section RO too, so when we write to, for example memset the
.data section, MMU will trigger a store page fault.

To fix the issue, we need to ensure the BPF JIT region is PMD size
aligned. This patch acchieve this goal by restoring the BPF JIT region
to original position, I.E the 128MB before kernel .text section. The
modification to kasan_init.c is inspired by Alexandre.

Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4.

This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position
and very small caches).  Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no
evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but
that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since
people doing local development keep tripping over it.  :)

This patch (of 3):

Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of
those zones got tripped.  Additionally fix column alignment in the
trailer.

Before:

  BUG test (Tainted: G    B            ): Redzone overwritten
  ...
  Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb      ........
  Object (____ptrval____): f6 f4 a5 40 1d e8            ...@..

  Padding (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00      ........

After:
