[ Upstream commit 67d6212afda218d564890d1674bab28e8612170f ]

This reverts commit 774a1221e862b343388347bac9b318767336b20b.

We need to finish all async code before the module init sequence is
done.  In the reverted commit the PF_USED_ASYNC flag was added to mark a
thread that called async_schedule().  Then the PF_USED_ASYNC flag was
used to determine whether or not async_synchronize_full() needs to be
invoked.  This works when modprobe thread is calling async_schedule(),
but it does not work if module dispatches init code to a worker thread
which then calls async_schedule().

For example, PCI driver probing is invoked from a worker thread based on
a node where device is attached:

	if (cpu &lt; nr_cpu_ids)
		error = work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, &amp;ddi);
	else
		error = local_pci_probe(&amp;ddi);

We end up in a situation where a worker thread gets the PF_USED_ASYNC
flag set instead of the modprobe thread.  As a result,
async_synchronize_full() is not invoked and modprobe completes without
waiting for the async code to finish.

The issue was discovered while loading the pm80xx driver:
(scsi_mod.scan=async)

modprobe pm80xx                      worker
...
  do_init_module()
  ...
    pci_call_probe()
      work_on_cpu(local_pci_probe)
                                     local_pci_probe()
                                       pm8001_pci_probe()
                                         scsi_scan_host()
                                           async_schedule()
                                           worker-&gt;flags |= PF_USED_ASYNC;
                                     ...
      &lt; return from worker &gt;
  ...
  if (current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_USED_ASYNC) &lt;--- false
  	async_synchronize_full();

Commit 21c3c5d28007 ("block: don't request module during elevator init")
fixed the deadlock issue which the reverted commit 774a1221e862
("module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is
used") tried to fix.

Since commit 0fdff3ec6d87 ("async, kmod: warn on synchronous
request_module() from async workers") synchronous module loading from
async is not allowed.

Given that the original deadlock issue is fixed and it is no longer
allowed to call synchronous request_module() from async we can remove
PF_USED_ASYNC flag to make module init consistently invoke
async_synchronize_full() unless async module probe is requested.

The mutex will be used in subsequent changes to replace the busy looping of
a waiter when the futex owner is currently executing the exit cleanup to
prevent a potential live lock.

<title>futex: Replace PF_EXITPIDONE with a state</title>

commit 3d4775df0a89240f671861c6ab6e8d59af8e9e41 upstream

The futex exit handling relies on PF_ flags. That's suboptimal as it
requires a smp_mb() and an ugly lock/unlock of the exiting tasks pi_lock in
the middle of do_exit() to enforce the observability of PF_EXITING in the
futex code.

Add a futex_state member to task_struct and convert the PF_EXITPIDONE logic
over to the new state. The PF_EXITING dependency will be cleaned up in a
later step.

This prepares for handling various futex exit issues later.

<title>signal: Extend exec_id to 64bits</title>

commit d1e7fd6462ca9fc76650fbe6ca800e35b24267da upstream.

Replace the 32bit exec_id with a 64bit exec_id to make it impossible
to wrap the exec_id counter.  With care an attacker can cause exec_id
wrap and send arbitrary signals to a newly exec'd parent.  This
bypasses the signal sending checks if the parent changes their
credentials during exec.

The severity of this problem can been seen that in my limited testing
of a 32bit exec_id it can take as little as 19s to exec 65536 times.
Which means that it can take as little as 14 days to wrap a 32bit
exec_id.  Adam Zabrocki has succeeded wrapping the self_exe_id in 7
days.  Even my slower timing is in the uptime of a typical server.
Which means self_exec_id is simply a speed bump today, and if exec
gets noticably faster self_exec_id won't even be a speed bump.

Extending self_exec_id to 64bits introduces a problem on 32bit
architectures where reading self_exec_id is no longer atomic and can
take two read instructions.  Which means that is is possible to hit
a window where the read value of exec_id does not match the written
value.  So with very lucky timing after this change this still
remains expoiltable.

I have updated the update of exec_id on exec to use WRITE_ONCE
and the read of exec_id in do_notify_parent to use READ_ONCE
to make it clear that there is no locking between these two
locations.

<title>rseq: Unregister rseq for clone CLONE_VM</title>

[ Upstream commit 463f550fb47bede3a5d7d5177f363a6c3b45d50b ]

It has been reported by Google that rseq is not behaving properly
with respect to clone when CLONE_VM is used without CLONE_THREAD.

It keeps the prior thread's rseq TLS registered when the TLS of the
thread has moved, so the kernel can corrupt the TLS of the parent.

The approach of clearing the per task-struct rseq registration
on clone with CLONE_THREAD flag is incomplete. It does not cover
the use-case of clone with CLONE_VM set, but without CLONE_THREAD.

Here is the rationale for unregistering rseq on clone with CLONE_VM
flag set:

1) CLONE_THREAD requires CLONE_SIGHAND, which requires CLONE_VM to be
   set. Therefore, just checking for CLONE_VM covers all CLONE_THREAD
   uses. There is no point in checking for both CLONE_THREAD and
   CLONE_VM,

2) There is the possibility of an unlikely scenario where CLONE_SETTLS
   is used without CLONE_VM. In order to be an issue, it would require
   that the rseq TLS is in a shared memory area.

   I do not plan on adding CLONE_SETTLS to the set of clone flags which
   unregister RSEQ, because it would require that we also unregister RSEQ
   on set_thread_area(2) and arch_prctl(2) ARCH_SET_FS for completeness.
   So rather than doing a partial solution, it appears better to let
   user-space explicitly perform rseq unregistration across clone if
   needed in scenarios where CLONE_VM is not set.

commit cb361d8cdef69990f6b4504dc1fd9a594d983c97 upstream.

The old code used RCU annotations and accessors inconsistently for
-&gt;numa_group, which can lead to use-after-frees and NULL dereferences.

Let all accesses to -&gt;numa_group use proper RCU helpers to prevent such
issues.

<title>sched/core: Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() in move_queued_task()/task_rq_lock()</title>

[ Upstream commit c546951d9c9300065bad253ecdf1ac59ce9d06c8 ]

move_queued_task() synchronizes with task_rq_lock() as follows:

	move_queued_task()		task_rq_lock()

	[S] -&gt;on_rq = MIGRATING		[L] rq = task_rq()
	WMB (__set_task_cpu())		ACQUIRE (rq-&gt;lock);
	[S] -&gt;cpu = new_cpu		[L] -&gt;on_rq

where "[L] rq = task_rq()" is ordered before "ACQUIRE (rq-&gt;lock)" by an
address dependency and, in turn, "ACQUIRE (rq-&gt;lock)" is ordered before
"[L] -&gt;on_rq" by the ACQUIRE itself.

Use READ_ONCE() to load -&gt;cpu in task_rq() (c.f., task_cpu()) to honor
this address dependency.  Also, mark the accesses to -&gt;cpu and -&gt;on_rq
with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to comply with the LKMM.

<title>function_graph: Use new curr_ret_depth to manage depth instead of curr_ret_stack</title>

<id>392374326d2905e1c617fae703237be84ba09e4f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 39eb456dacb543de90d3bc6a8e0ac5cf51ac475e upstream.

Currently, the depth of the ret_stack is determined by curr_ret_stack index.
The issue is that there's a race between setting of the curr_ret_stack and
calling of the callback attached to the return of the function.

Commit 03274a3ffb44 ("tracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling
trace return callback") moved the calling of the callback to after the
setting of the curr_ret_stack, even stating that it was safe to do so, when
in fact, it was the reason there was a barrier() there (yes, I should have
commented that barrier()).

Not only does the curr_ret_stack keep track of the current call graph depth,
it also keeps the ret_stack content from being overwritten by new data.

The function profiler, uses the "subtime" variable of ret_stack structure
and by moving the curr_ret_stack, it allows for interrupts to use the same
structure it was using, corrupting the data, and breaking the profiler.

To fix this, there needs to be two variables to handle the call stack depth
and the pointer to where the ret_stack is being used, as they need to change
at two different locations.

commit 9137bb27e60e554dab694eafa4cca241fa3a694f upstream

Add the PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH option for the PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL and
PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL prctls to allow fine grained per task control of
indirect branch speculation via STIBP and IBPB.

Invocations:
 Check indirect branch speculation status with
 - prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, 0, 0, 0);

 Enable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_ENABLE, 0, 0);

 Disable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_DISABLE, 0, 0);

 Force disable indirect branch speculation with
 - prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE, 0, 0);
