commit 9e8db5913264d3967b93c765a6a9e464d9c473db upstream.

GSO packets with vnet_hdr must conform to a small set of gso_types.
The below commit uses flow dissection to drop packets that do not.

But it has false positives when the skb is not fully initialized.
Dissection needs skb-&gt;protocol and skb-&gt;network_header.

Infer skb-&gt;protocol from gso_type as the two must agree.
SKB_GSO_UDP can use both ipv4 and ipv6, so try both.

Exclude callers for which network header offset is not known.

commit d5be7f632bad0f489879eed0ff4b99bd7fe0b74c upstream.

Syzkaller again found a path to a kernel crash through bad gso input.
By building an excessively large packet to cause an skb field to wrap.

If VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM was set this would have been dropped in
skb_partial_csum_set.

GSO packets that do not set checksum offload are suspicious and rare.
Most callers of virtio_net_hdr_to_skb already pass them to
skb_probe_transport_header.

Move that test forward, change it to detect parse failure and drop
packets on failure as those cleary are not one of the legitimate
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO types.

Fixes: bfd5f4a3d605 ("packet: Add GSO/csum offload support.")
Fixes: f43798c27684 ("tun: Allow GSO using virtio_net_hdr")

[ Upstream commit 3e2ffd655cc6a694608d997738989ff5572a8266 ]

Since commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") clang no longer reuses the OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR macro
from compiler-gcc - instead it gets the version in
include/linux/compiler.h.  Unfortunately that version doesn't actually
prevent compiler from optimizing out the variable.

Fix up by moving the macro out from compiler-gcc.h to compiler.h.
Compilers without incline asm support will keep working
since it's protected by an ifdef.

Also fix up comments to match reality since we are no longer overriding
any macros.

Build-tested with gcc and clang.

[ Upstream commit 3b89ea9c5902acccdbbdec307c85edd1bf52515e ]

The features attribute is of type u64 and stored in the native endianes on
the system. The for_each_set_bit() macro takes a pointer to a 32 bit array
and goes over the bits in this area. On little Endian systems this also
works with an u64 as the most significant bit is on the highest address,
but on big endian the words are swapped. When we expect bit 15 here we get
bit 47 (15 + 32).

This patch converts it more or less to its own for_each_set_bit()
implementation which works on 64 bit integers directly. This is then
completely in host endianness and should work like expected.

<title>mmc: block: handle complete_work on separate workqueue</title>

commit dcf6e2e38a1c7ccbc535de5e1d9b14998847499d upstream.

The kblockd workqueue is created with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag set.
This generates a rescuer thread for that queue that will trigger when
the CPU is under heavy load and collect the uncompleted work.

In the case of mmc, this creates the possibility of a deadlock when
there are multiple partitions on the device as other blk-mq work is
also run on the same queue. For example:

- worker 0 claims the mmc host to work on partition 1
- worker 1 attempts to claim the host for partition 2 but has to wait
  for worker 0 to finish
- worker 0 schedules complete_work to release the host
- rescuer thread is triggered after time-out and collects the dangling
  work
- rescuer thread attempts to complete the work in order starting with
  claim host
- the task to release host is now blocked by a task to claim it and
  will never be called

The above results in multiple hung tasks that lead to failures to
mount partitions.

Handling complete_work on a separate workqueue avoids this by keeping
the work completion tasks separate from the other blk-mq work. This
allows the host to be released without getting blocked by other tasks
attempting to claim the host.

commit 81ec3f3c4c4d78f2d3b6689c9816bfbdf7417dbb upstream.

Vince (and later on Ravi) reported crashes in the BTS code during
fuzzing with the following backtrace:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  ...
  RIP: 0010:perf_prepare_sample+0x8f/0x510

   smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x3e/0xe0
   call_function_single_interrupt+0xf/0x20
   &lt;/IRQ&gt;

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.

Following sequence will cause the crash:

If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample()
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller.

Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.

commit 81ec3f3c4c4d78f2d3b6689c9816bfbdf7417dbb upstream.

Vince (and later on Ravi) reported crashes in the BTS code during
fuzzing with the following backtrace:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  ...
  RIP: 0010:perf_prepare_sample+0x8f/0x510

   call_function_single_interrupt+0xf/0x20
   &lt;/IRQ&gt;

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.

Following sequence will cause the crash:

If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample()
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller.

Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.

<title>SUNRPC: Always drop the XPRT_LOCK on XPRT_CLOSE_WAIT</title>

This patch is only appropriate for stable kernels v4.16 - v4.19

Since commit 9b30889c548a ("SUNRPC: Ensure we always close the socket after
a connection shuts down"), and until commit c544577daddb ("SUNRPC: Clean up
transport write space handling"), it is possible for the NFS client to spin
in the following tight loop:

269.964083: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=0 action=call_bind [sunrpc]
269.964083: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=0 action=call_connect [sunrpc]
269.964083: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=0 action=call_transmit [sunrpc]
269.964085: xprt_transmit: peer=[10.0.1.82]:2049 xid=0x761d3f77 status=-32
269.964085: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=-32 action=call_transmit_status [sunrpc]
269.964085: rpc_task_run_action: task:43@0 flags=5a81 state=0005 status=-32 action=call_status [sunrpc]
269.964085: rpc_call_status: task:43@0 status=-32

The issue is that the path through call_transmit_status does not release
the XPRT_LOCK when the transmit result is -EPIPE, so the socket cannot be
properly shut down.

The below commit fixed things up in mainline by unconditionally calling
xprt_end_transmit() and releasing the XPRT_LOCK after every pass through
call_transmit.  However, the entirety of this commit is not appropriate for
stable kernels because its original inclusion was part of a series that
modifies the sunrpc code to use a different queueing model.  As a result,
there are machinations within this patch that are not needed for a stable
fix and will not make sense without a larger backport of the mainline
series.

In this patch, we take the slightly modified bit of the mainline patch
below, which is to release the XPRT_LOCK on transmission error should we
detect that the transport is waiting to close.

    SUNRPC: Clean up transport write space handling

    Treat socket write space handling in the same way we now treat transport
    congestion: by denying the XPRT_LOCK until the transport signals that it
    has free buffer space.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Fix "SMT disabled by BIOS" detection for KVM</title>

commit b284909abad48b07d3071a9fc9b5692b3e64914b upstream.

With the following commit:

  73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")

... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS,
in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled.  However, that
code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only
primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later.

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably
distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt
"sibling not yet brought online" case.  So the above-mentioned commit
was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases,
preventing future virt sibling hotplugs.

Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to
be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS:

  1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of
     "notsupported"; and

  2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning.

I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a
problem.  Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT
wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online
later.  So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on"
to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU
supports SMT).

The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to
query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are
currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value.

So fix it by:

  a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix:

     73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
     bc2d8d262cba ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation")

     and

  b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state --
     instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF
     warning is needed.  This also requires the 'sched_smt_present'
     variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.
