commit 5d6dee80a1e94cc284d03e06d930e60e8d3ecf7d upstream.

At the point where the kvm-vfio pseudo device wants to release its
vfio group reference, we can't always acquire a new reference to make
that happen.  The group can be in a state where we wouldn't allow a
new reference to be added.  This new helper function allows a caller
to match a file to a group to facilitate this.  Given a file and
group, report if they match.  Thus the caller needs to already have a
group reference to match to the file.  This allows the deletion of a
group without acquiring a new reference.

commit 2c80cd57c74339889a8752b20862a16c28929c3a upstream.

list_lru_count_node() iterates over all memcgs to get the total number of
entries on the node but it can race with memcg_drain_all_list_lrus(),
which migrates the entries from a dead cgroup to another.  This can return
incorrect number of entries from list_lru_count_node().

Fix this by keeping track of entries per node and simply return it in
list_lru_count_node().

[ Upstream commit 4d22c75d4c7b5c5f4bd31054f09103ee490878fd ]

If the last section of a core file ends with an unmapped or zero page,
the size of the file does not correspond with the last dump_skip() call.
gdb complains that the file is truncated and can be confusing to users.

After all of the vma sections are written, make sure that the file size
is no smaller than the current file position.

This problem can be demonstrated with gdb's bigcore testcase on the
sparc architecture.

<title>time: Fix clock-&gt;read(clock) race around clocksource changes</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ceea5e3771ed2378668455fa21861bead7504df5 upstream.

In tests, which excercise switching of clocksources, a NULL
pointer dereference can be observed on AMR64 platforms in the
clocksource read() function:

u64 clocksource_mmio_readl_down(struct clocksource *c)
{
	return ~(u64)readl_relaxed(to_mmio_clksrc(c)-&gt;reg) &amp; c-&gt;mask;
}

This is called from the core timekeeping code via:

	cycle_now = tkr-&gt;read(tkr-&gt;clock);

tkr-&gt;read is the cached tkr-&gt;clock-&gt;read() function pointer.
When the clocksource is changed then tkr-&gt;clock and tkr-&gt;read
are updated sequentially. The code above results in a sequential
load operation of tkr-&gt;read and tkr-&gt;clock as well.

If the store to tkr-&gt;clock hits between the loads of tkr-&gt;read
and tkr-&gt;clock, then the old read() function is called with the
new clock pointer. As a consequence the read() function
dereferences a different data structure and the resulting 'reg'
pointer can point anywhere including NULL.

This problem was introduced when the timekeeping code was
switched over to use struct tk_read_base. Before that, it was
theoretically possible as well when the compiler decided to
reload clock in the code sequence:

     now = tk-&gt;clock-&gt;read(tk-&gt;clock);

Add a helper function which avoids the issue by reading
tk_read_base-&gt;clock once into a local variable clk and then issue
the read function via clk-&gt;read(clk). This guarantees that the
read() function always gets the proper clocksource pointer handed
in.

Since there is now no use for the tkr.read pointer, this patch
also removes it, and to address stopping the fast timekeeper
during suspend/resume, it introduces a dummy clocksource to use
rather then just a dummy read function.

<title>mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas</title>

<id>4b359430674caa2c98d0049a6941f157d2a33741</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

[ Upstream commit e26bfebdfc0d212d366de9990a096665d5c0209a ]

Under some circumstances, an fscache object can become queued such that it
fscache_object_work_func() can be called once the object is in the
OBJECT_DEAD state.  This results in the kernel oopsing when it tries to
invoke the handler for the state (which is hard coded to 0x2).

The way this comes about is something like the following:

 (1) The object dispatcher is processing a work state for an object.  This
     is done in workqueue context.

 (2) An out-of-band event comes in that isn't masked, causing the object to
     be queued, say EV_KILL.

 (3) The object dispatcher finishes processing the current work state on
     that object and then sees there's another event to process, so,
     without returning to the workqueue core, it processes that event too.
     It then follows the chain of events that initiates until we reach
     OBJECT_DEAD without going through a wait state (such as
     WAIT_FOR_CLEARANCE).

     At this point, object-&gt;events may be 0, object-&gt;event_mask will be 0
     and oob_event_mask will be 0.

 (4) The object dispatcher returns to the workqueue processor, and in due
     course, this sees that the object's work item is still queued and
     invokes it again.

 (5) The current state is a work state (OBJECT_DEAD), so the dispatcher
     jumps to it - resulting in an OOPS.

When I'm seeing this, the work state in (1) appears to have been either
LOOK_UP_OBJECT or CREATE_OBJECT (object-&gt;oob_table is
fscache_osm_lookup_oob).

The window for (2) is very small:

 (A) object-&gt;event_mask is cleared whilst the event dispatch process is
     underway - though there's no memory barrier to force this to the top
     of the function.

     The window, therefore is from the time the object was selected by the
     workqueue processor and made requeueable to the time the mask was
     cleared.

 (B) fscache_raise_event() will only queue the object if it manages to set
     the event bit and the corresponding event_mask bit was set.

     The enqueuement is then deferred slightly whilst we get a ref on the
     object and get the per-CPU variable for workqueue congestion.  This
     slight deferral slightly increases the probability by allowing extra
     time for the workqueue to make the item requeueable.

Handle this by giving the dead state a processor function and checking the
for the dead state address rather than seeing if the processor function is
address 0x2.  The dead state processor function can then set a flag to
indicate that it's occurred and give a warning if it occurs more than once
per object.

If this race occurs, an oops similar to the following is seen (note the RIP
value):

commit 29905b52fad0854351f57bab867647e4982285bf upstream.

The function order_base_2() is defined (according to the comment block)
as returning zero on input zero, but subsequently passes the input into
roundup_pow_of_two(), which is explicitly undefined for input zero.

This has gone unnoticed until now, but optimization passes in GCC 7 may
produce constant folded function instances where a constant value of
zero is passed into order_base_2(), resulting in link errors against the
deliberately undefined '____ilog2_NaN'.

So update order_base_2() to adhere to its own documented interface.

[ See

     http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=147672952517795&amp;w=2

  and follow-up discussion for more background. The gcc "optimization
  pass" is really just broken, but now the GCC trunk problem seems to
  have escaped out of just specially built daily images, so we need to
  work around it in mainline.    - Linus ]
