commit b9f089723aee892efc77c349ae47a6b452b293c4 upstream.

A pseudo-locked group's RMID is freed when it is created. On unmount
rmdir_all_sub() unconditionally frees all RMID of all groups, resulting
in a double-free of the pseudo-locked group's RMID. The consequence of this
is that the original free results in the pseudo-locked group's RMID being
added to the rmid_free_lru linked list and the second free then attempts
to add the same RMID entry to the rmid_free_lru again.

Do not double-free a pseudo-locked group's RMID.

commit ca0676ae2e1a23ac3e858224fc630b99f9e216ea upstream.

If mkdir_mondata_all() or a subsequent call in rdt_get_tree() fails, the
mon_data structures allocated by mon_get_kn_priv() are leaked.

Add mon_put_kn_priv() to the out_mongrp error path to free the mon_data
structures.

<title>fs/resctrl: Fix use-after-free during unmount</title>

commit 52fce648607e0d6a76eeb443d78708c49df1c554 upstream.

During unmount or failure teardown all mon_data structures that contain
monitoring event file private data are freed after which kernfs nodes are
removed. However, the RDT_DELETED flag is never set for the statically
allocated default resource group.

A concurrent reader of an event file associated with the default resource
group may, after dropping kernfs active protection, block on rdtgroup_mutex
while unmount proceeds to free the file private data and destroy the kernfs
node without waiting for the reader.

When the mutex is released, the reader wakes up, observes that RDT_DELETED
is not set for the default group, and dereferences the already-freed
file private data.

The scenario can be depicted as follows:
  CPU0                                      CPU1
   /*
    * Default resource group's
    * monitoring data accessible via
    * kernfs file with kernfs_node::priv
    * pointing to a struct mon_data.
    * User opens the file for reading.
    */
   rdtgroup_mondata_show()                 /* arch encounters fatal error */
    rdtgroup_kn_lock_live()                 resctrl_exit()
     atomic_inc(&amp;rdtgroup_default.waitcount) cpus_read_lock()
     kernfs_break_active_protection(kn)      mutex_lock(&amp;rdtgroup_mutex)
     cpus_read_lock()                        resctrl_fs_teardown()
     mutex_lock(&amp;rdtgroup_mutex)              rmdir_all_sub()
                                              mon_put_kn_priv()
                                               /* Delete all mon_data structures */
                                              rdtgroup_destroy_root()
                                               kernfs_destroy_root()
                                               rdtgroup_default.kn = NULL
                                             mutex_unlock(&amp;rdtgroup_mutex)
     /*
      * rdtgroup_default.flags is empty so
      * rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() returns
      * &amp;rdtgroup_default
      */
     md = of-&gt;kn-&gt;priv;

     /* md points to freed mon_data */

Set RDT_DELETED for the default group unconditionally since the flag does
not lead to the freeing of this statically allocated group.

Do not allow a new resctrl mount if there are any waiters on default group
of previous mount. A new mount will re-initialize the default group that
would appear to waiters from previous mount as though the default group is
accessible causing them to access the mon_data structures from the previous
mount that have been removed.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

L3 monitor features are enumerated during resctrl initialization and
rmid_ptrs[] that tracks all RMIDs and depends on the number of supported
RMIDs is allocated during this time.

Telemetry monitor features are enumerated during first resctrl mount and
may support a different number of RMIDs compared to L3 monitor features.

Delay allocation and initialization of rmid_ptrs[] until first mount.
Since the number of RMIDs cannot change on later mounts, keep the same set of
rmid_ptrs[] until resctrl_exit(). This is required because the limbo handler
keeps running after resctrl is unmounted and needs to access rmid_ptrs[]
as it keeps tracking busy RMIDs after unmount.

Rename routines to match what they now do:
dom_data_init() -&gt; setup_rmid_lru_list()
dom_data_exit() -&gt; free_rmid_lru_list()

<title>x86,fs/resctrl: Compute number of RMIDs as minimum across resources</title>

resctrl assumes that only the L3 resource supports monitor events, so it
simply takes the rdt_resource::num_rmid from RDT_RESOURCE_L3 as the system's
number of RMIDs.

The addition of telemetry events in a different resource breaks that
assumption.

Compute the number of available RMIDs as the minimum value across all
mon_capable resources (analogous to how the number of CLOSIDs is computed
across alloc_capable resources).

Note that mount time enumeration of the telemetry resource means that
this number can be reduced. If this happens, then some memory will
be wasted as the allocations for rdt_l3_mon_domain::mbm_states[] and
rdt_l3_mon_domain::rmid_busy_llc created during resctrl initialization will
be larger than needed.

<title>x86/resctrl: Handle number of RMIDs supported by RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG</title>

There are now three meanings for "number of RMIDs":

1) The number for legacy features enumerated by CPUID leaf 0xF. This is the
   maximum number of distinct values that can be loaded into MSR_IA32_PQR_ASSOC.
   Note that systems with Sub-NUMA Cluster mode enabled will force scaling down
   the CPUID enumerated value by the number of SNC nodes per L3-cache.

2) The number of registers in MMIO space for each event. This is enumerated in
   the XML files and is the value initialized into event_group::num_rmid.

3) The number of "hardware counters" (this isn't a strictly accurate
   description of how things work, but serves as a useful analogy that does
   describe the limitations) feeding to those MMIO registers. This is enumerated
   in telemetry_region::num_rmids returned by intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature().

Event groups with insufficient "hardware counters" to track all RMIDs are
difficult for users to use, since the system may reassign "hardware counters"
at any time. This means that users cannot reliably collect two consecutive
event counts to compute the rate at which events are occurring.

Disable such event groups by default. The user may override this with
a command line "rdt=" option. In this case limit an under-resourced event
group's number of possible monitor resource groups to the lowest number of
"hardware counters".

Scan all enabled event groups and assign the RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG resource
"num_rmid" value to the smallest of these values as this value will be used
later to compare against the number of RMIDs supported by other resources to
determine how many monitoring resource groups are supported.

N.B. Change type of resctrl_mon::num_rmid to u32 to match its usage and the
type of event_group::num_rmid so that min(r-&gt;num_rmid, e-&gt;num_rmid) won't
complain about mixing signed and unsigned types.

The L3 resource has several requirements for domains. There are per-domain
structures that hold the 64-bit values of counters, and elements to keep
track of the overflow and limbo threads.

None of these are needed for the PERF_PKG resource. The hardware counters
are wide enough that they do not wrap around for decades.

Define a new rdt_perf_pkg_mon_domain structure which just consists of the
standard rdt_domain_hdr to keep track of domain id and CPU mask.

Update resctrl_online_mon_domain() for RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG. The only action
needed for this resource is to create and populate domain directories if a
domain is added while resctrl is mounted.

Similarly resctrl_offline_mon_domain() only needs to remove domain directories.
