[ Upstream commit f7cfd871ae0c5008d94b6f66834e7845caa93c15 ]

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users
of exec_update_mutex.  The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep
was:

   perf_event_open  (exec_update_mutex -&gt; ovl_i_mutex)
   chown            (ovl_i_mutex       -&gt; sb_writes)
   sendfile         (sb_writes         -&gt; p-&gt;lock)
     by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs
   proc_pid_syscall (p-&gt;lock           -&gt; exec_update_mutex)

While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the
users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given
process to remain the same.  They are all readers.  The only writer is
exec.

There is no reason for readers to block on each other.  So fix
this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore
named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

[ Upstream commit 31784cff7ee073b34d6eddabb95e3be2880a425c ]

In preparation for converting exec_update_mutex to a rwsem so that
multiple readers can execute in parallel and not deadlock, add
down_read_interruptible.  This is needed for perf_event_open to be
converted (with no semantic changes) from working on a mutex to
wroking on a rwsem.

Silly GCC doesn't always inline these trivial functions.

<title>mm: memmap defer init doesn't work as expected</title>

commit dc2da7b45ffe954a0090f5d0310ed7b0b37d2bd2 upstream.

VMware observed a performance regression during memmap init on their
platform, and bisected to commit 73a6e474cb376 ("mm: memmap_init:
iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN") causing it.

Before the commit:

  [0.033176] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
  [0.033176] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
  [0.035851] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448

With commit

  [0.026874] Normal zone: 1445888 pages used for memmap
  [0.026875] Normal zone: 89391104 pages, LIFO batch:63
  [2.028450] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x448

The root cause is the current memmap defer init doesn't work as expected.

Before, memmap_init_zone() was used to do memmap init of one whole zone,
to initialize all low zones of one numa node, but defer memmap init of
the last zone in that numa node.  However, since commit 73a6e474cb376,
function memmap_init() is adapted to iterater over memblock regions
inside one zone, then call memmap_init_zone() to do memmap init for each
region.

E.g, on VMware's system, the memory layout is as below, there are two
memory regions in node 2.  The current code will mistakenly initialize the
whole 1st region [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff], then do memmap defer to
iniatialize only one memmory section on the 2nd region [mem
0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff].  In fact, we only expect to see that there's
only one memory section's memmap initialized.  That's why more time is
costed at the time.

[    0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x0009ffff]
[    0.008842] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00100000-0xbfffffff]
[    0.008843] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x55ffffffff]
[    0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x5600000000-0xaaffffffff]
[    0.008844] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0xab00000000-0xfcffffffff]
[    0.008845] ACPI: SRAT: Node 2 PXM 2 [mem 0x10000000000-0x1033fffffff]

Now, let's add a parameter 'zone_end_pfn' to memmap_init_zone() to pass
down the real zone end pfn so that defer_init() can use it to judge
whether defer need be taken in zone wide.

<content type='text'>
commit 5812b32e01c6d86ba7a84110702b46d8a8531fe9 upstream.

Specify type alignment when declaring linker-section match-table entries
to prevent gcc from increasing alignment and corrupting the various
tables with padding (e.g. timers, irqchips, clocks, reserved memory).

This is specifically needed on x86 where gcc (typically) aligns larger
objects like struct of_device_id with static extent on 32-byte
boundaries which at best prevents matching on anything but the first
entry. Specifying alignment when declaring variables suppresses this
optimisation.

Here's a 64-bit example where all entries are corrupt as 16 bytes of
padding has been inserted before the first entry:

	ffffffff8266b4b0 D __clk_of_table
	ffffffff8266b4c0 d __of_table_fixed_factor_clk
	ffffffff8266b5a0 d __of_table_fixed_clk
	ffffffff8266b680 d __clk_of_table_sentinel

And here's a 32-bit example where the 8-byte-aligned table happens to be
placed on a 32-byte boundary so that all but the first entry are corrupt
due to the 28 bytes of padding inserted between entries:

	812b3ec0 D __irqchip_of_table
	812b3ec0 d __of_table_irqchip1
	812b3fa0 d __of_table_irqchip2
	812b4080 d __of_table_irqchip3
	812b4160 d irqchip_of_match_end

commit 5812b32e01c6d86ba7a84110702b46d8a8531fe9 upstream.

Specify type alignment when declaring linker-section match-table entries
to prevent gcc from increasing alignment and corrupting the various
tables with padding (e.g. timers, irqchips, clocks, reserved memory).

This is specifically needed on x86 where gcc (typically) aligns larger
objects like struct of_device_id with static extent on 32-byte
boundaries which at best prevents matching on anything but the first
entry. Specifying alignment when declaring variables suppresses this
optimisation.

Here's a 64-bit example where all entries are corrupt as 16 bytes of
padding has been inserted before the first entry:

	ffffffff8266b4b0 D __clk_of_table
	ffffffff8266b4c0 d __of_table_fixed_factor_clk
	ffffffff8266b5a0 d __of_table_fixed_clk
	ffffffff8266b680 d __clk_of_table_sentinel

And here's a 32-bit example where the 8-byte-aligned table happens to be
placed on a 32-byte boundary so that all but the first entry are corrupt
due to the 28 bytes of padding inserted between entries:

	812b3ec0 D __irqchip_of_table
	812b3ec0 d __of_table_irqchip1
	812b3fa0 d __of_table_irqchip2
	812b4080 d __of_table_irqchip3
	812b4160 d irqchip_of_match_end

Verified on x86 using gcc-9.3 and gcc-4.9 (which uses 64-byte
alignment), and on arm using gcc-7.2.

Note that there are no in-tree users of these tables on x86 currently
(even if they are included in the image).

commit 0fb6ee8d0b5e90b72f870f76debc8bd31a742014 upstream.

Use a heap allocated memory for the SPI transfer buffer. Using stack memory
can corrupt stack memory when using DMA on some systems.

This change moves the buffer from the stack of the trigger handler call to
the heap of the buffer of the state struct. The size increases takes into
account the alignment for the timestamp, which is 8 bytes.

The 'data' buffer is split into 'tx_buf' and 'rx_buf', to make a clearer
separation of which part of the buffer should be used for TX &amp; RX.

<title>fsnotify: fix events reported to watching parent and child</title>

commit fecc4559780d52d174ea05e3bf543669165389c3 upstream.

fsnotify_parent() used to send two separate events to backends when a
parent inode is watching children and the child inode is also watching.
In an attempt to avoid duplicate events in fanotify, we unified the two
backend callbacks to a single callback and handled the reporting of the
two separate events for the relevant backends (inotify and dnotify).
However the handling is buggy and can result in inotify and dnotify
listeners receiving events of the type they never asked for or spurious
events.

The problem is the unified event callback with two inode marks (parent and
child) is called when any of the parent and child inodes are watched and
interested in the event, but the parent inode's mark that is interested
in the event on the child is not necessarily the one we are currently
reporting to (it could belong to a different group).

So before reporting the parent or child event flavor to backend we need
to check that the mark is really interested in that event flavor.

The semantics of INODE and CHILD marks were hard to follow and made the
logic more complicated than it should have been.  Replace it with INODE
and PARENT marks semantics to hopefully make the logic more clear.

Thanks to Hugh Dickins for spotting a bug in the earlier version of this
patch.

commit 950cc0d2bef078e1f6459900ca4d4b2a2e0e3c37 upstream.

The handle_inode_event() interface was added as (quoting comment):
"a simple variant of handle_event() for groups that only have inode
marks and don't have ignore mask".

In other words, all backends except fanotify.  The inotify backend
also falls under this category, but because it required extra arguments
it was left out of the initial pass of backends conversion to the
simple interface.

This results in code duplication between the generic helper
fsnotify_handle_event() and the inotify_handle_event() callback
which also happen to be buggy code.

Generalize the handle_inode_event() arguments and add the check for
FS_EXCL_UNLINK flag to the generic helper, so inotify backend could
be converted to use the simple interface.

[ Upstream commit c6c75deda81344c3a95d1d1f606d5cee109e5d54 ]

Commit 1fde6f21d90f ("proc: fix /proc/net/* after setns(2)") only forced
revalidation of regular files under /proc/net/

However, /proc/net/ is unusual in the sense of /proc/net/foo handlers
take netns pointer from parent directory which is old netns.

Steps to reproduce:

	(void)open("/proc/net/sctp/snmp", O_RDONLY);
	unshare(CLONE_NEWNET);

	int fd = open("/proc/net/sctp/snmp", O_RDONLY);
	read(fd, &amp;c, 1);

Read will read wrong data from original netns.

Patch forces lookup on every directory under /proc/net .
