commit ff083a2d972f56bebfd82409ca62e5dfce950961 upstream.

Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU to fix multiple possible errors.  Luckily,
all paths that read perf_guest_cbs already require RCU protection, e.g. to
protect the callback chains, so only the direct perf_guest_cbs touchpoints
need to be modified.

Bug #1 is a simple lack of WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE behavior to ensure
perf_guest_cbs isn't reloaded between a !NULL check and a dereference.
Fixed via the READ_ONCE() in rcu_dereference().

Bug #2 is that on weakly-ordered architectures, updates to the callbacks
themselves are not guaranteed to be visible before the pointer is made
visible to readers.  Fixed by the smp_store_release() in
rcu_assign_pointer() when the new pointer is non-NULL.

Bug #3 is that, because the callbacks are global, it's possible for
readers to run in parallel with an unregisters, and thus a module
implementing the callbacks can be unloaded while readers are in flight,
resulting in a use-after-free.  Fixed by a synchronize_rcu() call when
unregistering callbacks.

Bug #1 escaped notice because it's extremely unlikely a compiler will
reload perf_guest_cbs in this sequence.  perf_guest_cbs does get reloaded
for future derefs, e.g. for -&gt;is_user_mode(), but the -&gt;is_in_guest()
guard all but guarantees the consumer will win the race, e.g. to nullify
perf_guest_cbs, KVM has to completely exit the guest and teardown down
all VMs before KVM start its module unload / unregister sequence.  This
also makes it all but impossible to encounter bug #3.

Bug #2 has not been a problem because all architectures that register
callbacks are strongly ordered and/or have a static set of callbacks.

But with help, unloading kvm_intel can trigger bug #1 e.g. wrapping
perf_guest_cbs with READ_ONCE in perf_misc_flags() while spamming
kvm_intel module load/unload leads to:

<title>ARM: 9169/1: entry: fix Thumb2 bug in iWMMXt exception handling</title>

<id>8536a5ef886005bc443c2da9b842d69fd3d7647f</id>
<content type='text'>
The Thumb2 version of the FP exception handling entry code treats the
register holding the CP number (R8) differently, resulting in the iWMMXT
CP number check to be incorrect.

Fix this by unifying the ARM and Thumb2 code paths, and switch the
order of the additions of the TI_USED_CP offset and the shifted CP
index.

__secondary_data used to reside in r7 around call to
PROCINFO_INITFUNC. After commit 95731b8ee63e ("ARM: 9059/1: cache-v7:
get rid of mini-stack") r7 is used as a scratch register, so we have
to reload __secondary_data before we setup the stack pointer.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a
   stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback.

 - Fix to bootconfig parsing

 - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only
   denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs
   in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest.

 - Bootconfig memory managament updates.

 - Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on
   changes in the kernel tree.

 - Allow perf to be traced by function tracer.

 - Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function
   tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen
   on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it).

 - Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched
   together in one synchronization.

 - Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
   calculations against the event's fields.

 - Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace
   trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent
   warnings from the compiler.

 - Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables.

 - Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over
   if branches.

 - Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway.

 - Added testing for verification of tracing utilities.

 - Various small clean ups and fixes.

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can
   leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.

 - Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
   enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.

 - Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group

 - Improve asymmetric packing logic

 - Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
   statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.

 - Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities

 - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
   newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset
   and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is
   now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
   assignment to the thread function.

 - Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.

 - Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
   systems.

 - Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
   fiddle with scheduler internals.

 - Add cluster aware scheduling support.

 - A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
   scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)

 - The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place

 "Updates for the interrupt subsystem:

   - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a

     dependency which is now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain

   - A couple of small updates to make the irq core RT safe.

   - Confine the irq_cpu_online/offline() API to the only left unfixable
     user Cavium Octeon so that it does not grow new usage.

   - A small documentation update

  Driver changes:

   - A large cross architecture rework to move irq_enter/exit() into the
     architecture code to make addressing the NOHZ_FULL/RCU issues
     simpler.

   - The obligatory new irq chip driver for Microchip EIC
