commit ef1548adada51a2f32ed7faef50aa465e1b4c5da upstream.

Recently syzbot reported that unmounting proc when there is an ongoing
inotify watch on the root directory of proc could result in a use
after free when the watch is removed after the unmount of proc
when the watcher exits.

Commit 69879c01a0c3 ("proc: Remove the now unnecessary internal mount
of proc") made it easier to unmount proc and allowed syzbot to see the
problem, but looking at the code it has been around for a long time.

Looking at the code the fsnotify watch should have been removed by
fsnotify_sb_delete in generic_shutdown_super.  Unfortunately the inode
was allocated with new_inode_pseudo instead of new_inode so the inode
was not on the sb-&gt;s_inodes list.  Which prevented
fsnotify_unmount_inodes from finding the inode and removing the watch
as well as made it so the "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount" warning
could not find the inodes to warn about them.

Make all of the inodes in proc visible to generic_shutdown_super,
and fsnotify_sb_delete by using new_inode instead of new_inode_pseudo.
The only functional difference is that new_inode places the inodes
on the sb-&gt;s_inodes list.

I wrote a small test program and I can verify that without changes it
can trigger this issue, and by replacing new_inode_pseudo with
new_inode the issues goes away.

<title>vmalloc: fix remap_vmalloc_range() bounds checks</title>

<content type='text'>
commit bdebd6a2831b6fab69eb85cee74a8ba77f1a1cc2 upstream.

remap_vmalloc_range() has had various issues with the bounds checks it
promises to perform ("This function checks that addr is a valid
vmalloc'ed area, and that it is big enough to cover the vma") over time,
e.g.:

 - not detecting pgoff&lt;&lt;PAGE_SHIFT overflow

 - not detecting (pgoff&lt;&lt;PAGE_SHIFT)+usize overflow

 - not checking whether addr and addr+(pgoff&lt;&lt;PAGE_SHIFT) are the same
   vmalloc allocation

 - comparing a potentially wildly out-of-bounds pointer with the end of
   the vmalloc region

In particular, since commit fc9702273e2e ("bpf: Add mmap() support for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY"), unprivileged users can cause kernel null pointer
dereferences by calling mmap() on a BPF map with a size that is bigger
than the distance from the start of the BPF map to the end of the
address space.

This could theoretically be used as a kernel ASLR bypass, by using
whether mmap() with a given offset oopses or returns an error code to
perform a binary search over the possible address range.

To allow remap_vmalloc_range_partial() to verify that addr and
addr+(pgoff&lt;&lt;PAGE_SHIFT) are in the same vmalloc region, pass the offset
to remap_vmalloc_range_partial() instead of adding it to the pointer in
remap_vmalloc_range().

In remap_vmalloc_range_partial(), fix the check against
get_vm_area_size() by using size comparisons instead of pointer
comparisons, and add checks for pgoff.

<title>proc, time/namespace: Show clock symbolic names in /proc/pid/timens_offsets</title>

commit 94d440d618467806009c8edc70b094d64e12ee5a upstream.

Michael Kerrisk suggested to replace numeric clock IDs with symbolic names.

Now the content of these files looks like this:
$ cat /proc/774/timens_offsets
monotonic      864000         0
boottime      1728000         0

For setting offsets, both representations of clocks (numeric and symbolic)
can be used.

As for compatibility, it is acceptable to change things as long as
userspace doesn't care. The format of timens_offsets files is very new and
there are no userspace tools yet which rely on this format.

But three projects crun, util-linux and criu rely on the interface of
setting time offsets and this is why it's required to continue supporting
the numeric clock IDs on write.

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
 "Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
  of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
  the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
  every time something got added to that system-wide registry.

  New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
  namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
  they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
  useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
  to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.

  And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
  pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
  things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
  do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
  blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.

  Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a
  lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added new "bootconfig".

   This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
   and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.

   Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.

   Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.

 - Created dynamic event creation.

   Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
   events.

 - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"

 - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"

   Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"

 - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.

 - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized

 - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly

 - Various other small fixes and clean ups

* tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (88 commits)
  bootconfig: Show the number of nodes on boot message
  tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes
  bootconfig: Add more parse error messages
  bootconfig: Use bootconfig instead of boot config
  ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync
  ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded
  tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_notrace_hash pointer with __rcu
  tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_hash pointer with __rcu
  bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline
  tracing: Use seq_buf for building dynevent_cmd string
  tracing: Remove useless code in dynevent_arg_pair_add()
  tracing: Remove check_arg() callbacks from dynevent args
  tracing: Consolidate some synth_event_trace code
  tracing: Fix now invalid var_ref_vals assumption in trace action
  tracing: Change trace_boot to use synth_event interface
  tracing: Move tracing selftests to bottom of menu
  tracing: Move mmio tracer config up with the other tracers
  tracing: Move tracing test module configs together
  tracing: Move all function tracing configs together

<title>proc: convert everything to "struct proc_ops"</title>

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=&gt; proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=&gt; proc_ioctl

	xxx		=&gt; proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line

<title>proc: decouple proc from VFS with "struct proc_ops"</title>

<id>d56c0d45f0e27f814e87a1676b6bdccccbc252e9</id>

Currently core /proc code uses "struct file_operations" for custom hooks,
however, VFS doesn't directly call them.  Every time VFS expands
file_operations hook set, /proc code bloats for no reason.

Introduce "struct proc_ops" which contains only those hooks which /proc
allows to call into (open, release, read, write, ioctl, mmap, poll).  It
doesn't contain module pointer as well.
