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>

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.

[ Upstream commit 7635d9cbe8327e131a1d3d8517dc186c2796ce2e ]

Userspace falls short when trying to find out whether a specific memory
range is eligible for THP.  There are usecases that would like to know
that
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809251248450.50347@chino.kir.corp.google.com
: This is used to identify heap mappings that should be able to fault thp
: but do not, and they normally point to a low-on-memory or fragmentation
: issue.

The only way to deduce this now is to query for hg resp.  nh flags and
confronting the state with the global setting.  Except that there is also
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE that might change the picture.  So the final logic is
not trivial.  Moreover the eligibility of the vma depends on the type of
VMA as well.  In the past we have supported only anononymous memory VMAs
but things have changed and shmem based vmas are supported as well these
days and the query logic gets even more complicated because the
eligibility depends on the mount option and another global configuration
knob.

Simplify the current state and report the THP eligibility in
/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/smaps for each existing vma.  Reuse
transparent_hugepage_enabled for this purpose.  The original
implementation of this function assumes that the caller knows that the vma
itself is supported for THP so make the core checks into
__transparent_hugepage_enabled and use it for existing callers.
__show_smap just use the new transparent_hugepage_enabled which also
checks the vma support status (please note that this one has to be out of
line due to include dependency issues).

<title>fs/proc/page.c: don't access uninitialized memmaps in fs/proc/page.c</title>

commit aad5f69bc161af489dbb5934868bd347282f0764 upstream.

There are three places where we access uninitialized memmaps, namely:
- /proc/kpagecount
- /proc/kpageflags
- /proc/kpagecgroup

We have initialized memmaps either when the section is online or when the
page was initialized to the ZONE_DEVICE.  Uninitialized memmaps contain
garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel BUGs, especially with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.

For example, not onlining a DIMM during boot and calling /proc/kpagecount
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING:

  :/# cat /proc/kpagecount &gt; tmp.test
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffffe

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

For now, let's drop support for ZONE_DEVICE from the three pseudo files
in order to fix this.  To distinguish offline memory (with garbage
memmap) from ZONE_DEVICE memory with properly initialized memmaps, we
would have to check get_dev_pagemap() and pfn_zone_device_reserved()
right now.  The usage of both (especially, special casing devmem) is
frowned upon and needs to be reworked.

The fundamental issue we have is:

	if (pfn_to_online_page(pfn)) {
		/* memmap initialized */
	} else if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
		/*
		 * ???
		 * a) offline memory. memmap garbage.
		 * b) devmem: memmap initialized to ZONE_DEVICE.
		 * c) devmem: reserved for driver. memmap garbage.
		 * (d) devmem: memmap currently initializing - garbage)
		 */
	}

We'll leave the pfn_zone_device_reserved() check in stable_page_flags()
in place as that function is also used from memory failure.  We now no
longer dump information about pages that are not in use anymore -
offline.

commit aad5f69bc161af489dbb5934868bd347282f0764 upstream.

There are three places where we access uninitialized memmaps, namely:
- /proc/kpagecount
- /proc/kpageflags
- /proc/kpagecgroup

We have initialized memmaps either when the section is online or when the
page was initialized to the ZONE_DEVICE.  Uninitialized memmaps contain
garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel BUGs, especially with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.

For example, not onlining a DIMM during boot and calling /proc/kpagecount
with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING:

  :/# cat /proc/kpagecount &gt; tmp.test
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffffe
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

For now, let's drop support for ZONE_DEVICE from the three pseudo files
in order to fix this.  To distinguish offline memory (with garbage
memmap) from ZONE_DEVICE memory with properly initialized memmaps, we
would have to check get_dev_pagemap() and pfn_zone_device_reserved()
right now.  The usage of both (especially, special casing devmem) is
frowned upon and needs to be reworked.

The fundamental issue we have is:

	if (pfn_to_online_page(pfn)) {
		/* memmap initialized */
	} else if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
		/*
		 * ???
		 * a) offline memory. memmap garbage.
		 * b) devmem: memmap initialized to ZONE_DEVICE.
		 * c) devmem: reserved for driver. memmap garbage.
		 * (d) devmem: memmap currently initializing - garbage)
		 */
	}

We'll leave the pfn_zone_device_reserved() check in stable_page_flags()
in place as that function is also used from memory failure.  We now no
longer dump information about pages that are not in use anymore -
offline.

commit d26d0cd97c88eb1a5704b42e41ab443406807810 upstream.

This makes the setproctitle() special case very explicit indeed, and
handles it with a separate helper function entirely.  In the process, it
re-instates the original semantics of simply stopping at the first NUL
character when the original last NUL character is no longer there.

[ The original semantics can still be seen in mm/util.c: get_cmdline()
  that is limited to a fixed-size buffer ]

This makes the logic about when we use the string lengths etc much more
obvious, and makes it easier to see what we do and what the two very
different cases are.

Note that even when we allow walking past the end of the argument array
(because the setproctitle() might have overwritten and overflowed the
original argv[] strings), we only allow it when it overflows into the
environment region if it is immediately adjacent.

[ Fixed for missing 'count' checks noted by Alexey Izbyshev ]

commit 3d712546d8ba9f25cdf080d79f90482aa4231ed4 upstream.

Start off with a clean slate that only reads exactly from arg_start to
arg_end, without any oddities.  This simplifies the code and in the
process removes the case that caused us to potentially leak an
uninitialized byte from the temporary kernel buffer.

Note that in order to start from scratch with an understandable base,
this simplifies things _too_ much, and removes all the legacy logic to
handle setproctitle() having changed the argument strings.

We'll add back those special cases very differently in the next commit.
