[ Upstream commit 6287fbad1cd91f0c25cdc3a580499060828a8f30 ]

proc_pid_wchan() used to report kernel addresses to user space but that is
no longer the case today.  Bring the comment above proc_pid_wchan() in
sync with the implementation.

commit 654b33ada4ab5e926cd9c570196fefa7bec7c1df upstream.

Fix race between rmmod and /proc/XXX's inode instantiation.

The bug is that pde-&gt;proc_ops don't belong to /proc, it belongs to a
module, therefore dereferencing it after /proc entry has been registered
is a bug unless use_pde/unuse_pde() pair has been used.

use_pde/unuse_pde can be avoided (2 atomic ops!) because pde-&gt;proc_ops
never changes so information necessary for inode instantiation can be
saved _before_ proc_register() in PDE itself and used later, avoiding
pde-&gt;proc_ops-&gt;...  dereference.

      rmmod                         lookup
sys_delete_module
                         proc_lookup_de

  mod-&gt;exit()
    proc_remove
      remove_proc_subtree
       proc_entry_rundown(de);
  free_module(mod);

	                         if (de-&gt;proc_ops-&gt;proc_read_iter)
                           --&gt; As module is already freed, will trigger UAF

<title>fs/proc: do_task_stat: Fix ESP not readable during coredump</title>

commit ab251dacfbae28772c897f068a4184f478189ff2 upstream.

The field "eip" (instruction pointer) and "esp" (stack pointer) of a task
can be read from /proc/PID/stat. These fields can be interesting for
coredump.

However, these fields were disabled by commit 0a1eb2d474ed ("fs/proc: Stop
reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat"), because it is generally unsafe
to do so. But it is safe for a coredumping process, and therefore
exceptions were made:

  - for a coredumping thread by commit fd7d56270b52 ("fs/proc: Report
    eip/esp in /prod/PID/stat for coredumping").

  - for all other threads in a coredumping process by commit cb8f381f1613
    ("fs/proc/array.c: allow reporting eip/esp for all coredumping
    threads").

The above two commits check the PF_DUMPCORE flag to determine a coredump thread
and the PF_EXITING flag for the other threads.

Unfortunately, commit 92307383082d ("coredump:  Don't perform any cleanups
before dumping core") moved coredump to happen earlier and before PF_EXITING is
set. Thus, checking PF_EXITING is no longer the correct way to determine
threads in a coredumping process.

Instead of PF_EXITING, use PF_POSTCOREDUMP to determine the other threads.

Checking of PF_EXITING was added for coredumping, so it probably can now be
removed. But it doesn't hurt to keep.

<title>fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore (part 2)</title>

Since commit 5cbcb62dddf5 ("fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore") the
number of softlockups in __read_vmcore at kdump time have gone down, but
they still happen sometimes.

In a memory constrained environment like the kdump image, a softlockup is
not just a harmless message, but it can interfere with things like RCU
freeing memory, causing the crashdump to get stuck.

The second loop in __read_vmcore has a lot more opportunities for natural
sleep points, like scheduling out while waiting for a data write to
happen, but apparently that is not always enough.

Add a cond_resched() to the second loop in __read_vmcore to (hopefully)
get rid of the softlockups.

Entries (including flags) are u64, even on 32bit.  So right now we are
cutting of the flags on 32bit.  This way, for example the cow selftest
complains about:

  # ./cow
  ...
  Bail Out! read and ioctl return unmatched results for populated: 0 1

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection" from
   Sergey Senozhatsky improves zram's post-processing selection
   algorithm. This leads to improved memory savings.

 - Wei Yang has gone to town on the mapletree code, contributing several
   series which clean up the implementation:
	- "refine mas_mab_cp()"
	- "Reduce the space to be cleared for maple_big_node"
	- "maple_tree: simplify mas_push_node()"
	- "Following cleanup after introduce mas_wr_store_type()"
	- "refine storing null"

 - The series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements" from
   David Hildenbrand fixes this selftest for s390.

 - The series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()" from Qi Zheng
   implements some rationaizations and cleanups in the page mapping
   code.

 - The series "mm: optimize shadow entries removal" from Shakeel Butt
   optimizes the file truncation code by speeding up the handling of
   shadow entries.

 - The series "Remove PageKsm()" from Matthew Wilcox completes the
   migration of this flag over to being a folio-based flag.

 - The series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions" from
   Oscar Salvador implements a bunch of consolidations and cleanups in
   the hugetlb code.

 - The series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault" from Dev Jain
   takes away the wp-fault time practice of turning a huge zero page
   into small pages. Instead we replace the whole thing with a THP. More
   consistent cleaner and potentiall saves a large number of pagefaults.

 - The series "percpu: Add a test case and fix for clang" from Andy
   Shevchenko enhances and fixes the kernel's built in percpu test code.

 - The series "mm/mremap: Remove extra vma tree walk" from Liam Howlett
   optimizes mremap() by avoiding doing things which we didn't need to
   do.

 - The series "Improve the tmpfs large folio read performance" from
   Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to copy data into userspace at the folio
   size rather than as individual pages. A 20% speedup was observed.

 - The series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
   damon_va_evenly_split_region()" fro Zheng Yejian fixes DAMON
   splitting.

 - The series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving" from Shakeel
   Butt removes the long-deprecated memcgv2 charge moving feature.

 - The series "fix error handling in mmap_region() and refactor" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes cleanup up some of the mmap() error handling and
   addresses some potential performance issues.

 - The series "x86/module: use large ROX pages for text allocations"
   from Mike Rapoport teaches x86 to use large pages for
   read-only-execute module text.

 - The series "page allocation tag compression" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   is followon maintenance work for the new page allocation profiling
   feature.

 - The series "page-&gt;index removals in mm" from Matthew Wilcox remove
   most references to page-&gt;index in mm/. A slow march towards shrinking
   struct page.

 - The series "damon/{self,kunit}tests: minor fixups for DAMON debugfs
   interface tests" from Andrew Paniakin performs maintenance work for
   DAMON's self testing code.

 - The series "mm: zswap swap-out of large folios" from Kanchana Sridhar
   improves zswap's batching of compression and decompression. It is a
   step along the way towards using Intel IAA hardware acceleration for
   this zswap operation.

 - The series "kasan: migrate the last module test to kunit" from
   Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov completes the migration of the KASAN built-in
   tests over to the KUnit framework.

 - The series "implement lightweight guard pages" from Lorenzo Stoakes
   permits userapace to place fault-generating guard pages within a
   single VMA, rather than requiring that multiple VMAs be created for
   this. Improved efficiencies for userspace memory allocators are
   expected.

 - The series "memcg: tracepoint for flushing stats" from JP Kobryn uses
   tracepoints to provide increased visibility into memcg stats flushing
   activity.

 - The series "zram: IDLE flag handling fixes" from Sergey Senozhatsky
   fixes a zram buglet which potentially affected performance.

 - The series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP" from
   Maíra Canal enhances our ability to control/configuremultisize THP
   from the kernel boot command line.

 - The series "kasan: few improvements on kunit tests" from Sabyrzhan
   Tasbolatov has a couple of fixups for the KASAN KUnit tests.

   from Kairui Song optimizes list_lru memory utilization when lockdep
   is enabled.
