commit e4a38402c36e42df28eb1a5394be87e6571fb48a upstream.

The pthread struct is allocated on PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS memory [1] which
can be targeted by the oom reaper.  This mapping is used to store the
futex robust list head; the kernel does not keep a copy of the robust
list and instead references a userspace address to maintain the
robustness during a process death.

A race can occur between exit_mm and the oom reaper that allows the oom
reaper to free the memory of the futex robust list before the exit path
has handled the futex death:

    CPU1                               CPU2
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    page_fault
    do_exit "signal"
    wake_oom_reaper
                                        oom_reaper
                                        oom_reap_task_mm (invalidates mm)
    exit_mm
    exit_mm_release
    futex_exit_release
    futex_cleanup
    exit_robust_list
    get_user (EFAULT- can't access memory)

If the get_user EFAULT's, the kernel will be unable to recover the
waiters on the robust_list, leaving userspace mutexes hung indefinitely.

Delay the OOM reaper, allowing more time for the exit path to perform
the futex cleanup.

<title>sched/tracing: Report TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT tasks as TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE</title>

[ Upstream commit 25795ef6299f07ce3838f3253a9cb34f64efcfae ]

TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT currently isn't part of TASK_REPORT, thus a task blocking
on an rtlock will appear as having a task state == 0, IOW TASK_RUNNING.

The actual state is saved in p-&gt;saved_state, but reading it after reading
p-&gt;__state has a few issues:
o that could still be TASK_RUNNING in the case of e.g. rt_spin_lock
o ttwu_state_match() might have changed that to TASK_RUNNING

As pointed out by Eric, adding TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT to TASK_REPORT implies
exposing a new state to userspace tools which way not know what to do with
them. The only information that needs to be conveyed here is that a task is
waiting on an rt_mutex, which matches TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE - there's no
need for a new state.

<title>Revert "module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is used"</title>

<id>67d6212afda218d564890d1674bab28e8612170f</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN</title>

<id>3087c61ed2c48548b74dd343a5209b87082c682d</id>
<content type='text'>
As the sched:sched_switch tracepoint args are derived from the kernel,
we'd better make it same with the kernel.  So the macro TASK_COMM_LEN is
converted to type enum, then all the BPF programs can get it through
BTF.

The BPF program which wants to use TASK_COMM_LEN should include the
header vmlinux.h.  Regarding the test_stacktrace_map and
test_tracepoint, as the type defined in linux/bpf.h are also defined in
vmlinux.h, so we don't need to include linux/bpf.h again.

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
  which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
  along the way.

  The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
  that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
  complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
  userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
  to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
  architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
  the stack.

  Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
  are the big successes for dead code removal this round.

  A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
  reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
  simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
  they were fixing.

  There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
  dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
  something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
  rebasing.

  Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
  to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
  struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
  pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
  flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
  removed. Issues where task-&gt;exit_code was examined with
  signal-&gt;group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.

  There are several loosely related changes included because I am
  cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

  The original postings of these changes can be found at:

     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87r19opkx1.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org

  I trimmed back the last set of changes to only the obviously correct
  once. Simply because there was less time for review than I had hoped"
