commit b7577fe4c47a31ca7c99714c53244a44af03cdfe upstream.

'level' is user space controlled and used to read from an array. Add the
missing array_index_nospec() call to prevent speculative execution.

ev variable is userspace controlled via event-&gt;attr.config and used

barriers.

Add the missing array_index_nospec() call to prevent speculative

[ Upstream commit d0478f5d3cba1095bfdeb43a9b063c10cdebef14 ]

In case of a kernel thread __ret_from_fork() calls the specified function
indirectly. Fix the kernel thread function pointer, since kernel threads
return an int instead of void.

commit c366a7b5ed7564e41345c380285bd3f6cb98971b upstream.

debug_get_user_string() duplicates the userspace buffer with
memdup_user_nul() and then unconditionally looks at buffer[user_len - 1]
to strip a trailing newline.

A zero-length write reaches this helper unchanged, so the newline trim
reads before the start of the allocated buffer.

Reject empty writes before accessing the last input byte.

<title>s390/debug: Reject zero-length input in debug_input_flush_fn()</title>

commit e14622a7584f9608927c59a7d6ae4a0999dc545e upstream.

debug_input_flush_fn() always copies one byte from the userspace buffer
with copy_from_user() regardless of the supplied write length. A
zero-length write therefore reads one byte beyond the caller's buffer.
If the stale byte happens to be '-' or a digit the debug log is
silently flushed. With an unmapped buffer the call returns -EFAULT.

Reject zero-length writes before copying from userspace.

commit 57ad0d4a00f5d3e80f33ba2da8d560c73d83dc22 upstream.

commit fcc43a7e294f ("s390/configs: Set HZ=1000") changed the interrupt
frequency of the system. On machines with heavy load and many perf event
overflows, this might lead to an exception. Dmesg displays these entries:
  [112.242542] cpum_sf: Loading sampling controls failed: op 1 err -22
One line per CPU online.

The root cause is the CPU Measurement sampling facility overflow
adjustment. Whenever an overflow (too much samples per tick) occurs, the
sampling rate is adjusted and increased. This was done without observing
the maximum sampling rate limit. When the current sampling interval is
higher than the maximum sampling rate limit, the lsctl instruction raises
an exception. The error messages is the result of such an exception.
Observe the upper limit when the new sampling rate is recalculated.

Before commit f33f2d4c7c80 ("s390/bp: remove TIF_ISOLATE_BP"),
all entry handlers loaded r12 with the current task pointer
(lg %r12,__LC_CURRENT) for use by the BPENTER/BPEXIT macros. That
commit removed TIF_ISOLATE_BP, dropping both the branch prediction
macros and the r12 load, but did not add r12 to the register clearing
sequence.

Add the missing xgr %r12,%r12 to make the register scrub consistent
across all entry points.

<title>kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS</title>

<id>861aa1be41bc1ba3e13ef6a6f0b58a0626012fc4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8678591b47469fe16357234efef9b260317b8be4 upstream.

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

commit 8678591b47469fe16357234efef9b260317b8be4 upstream.

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

[ Upstream commit dbc0fb35679ed5d0adecf7d02137ac2c77244b3b ]

Since delayed accounting of system time [1] the virtual timer is
forwarded by do_account_vtime() but also vtime_account_kernel(),
vtime_account_softirq(), and vtime_account_hardirq(). This leads
to double accounting of system, guest, softirq, and hardirq time.

Remove accounting from the vtime_account*() family to restore old behavior.

There is only one user of the vtimer interface, which might explain
why nobody noticed this so far.
