commit d4fb6514ff8ed6912a71294e6b66a5d59ee88007 upstream.

The can_skb_priv::skbcnt variable is used to identify CAN skbs in the RX
path analogue to the skb-&gt;hash.

As the skb hash is not filled in CAN skbs move the private skbcnt value to
skb-&gt;hash and set skb-&gt;sw_hash accordingly. The skb-&gt;hash is a value used
for RPS to identify skbs. Use it as intended.

<title>packet: use consistent hard_header_len in non-ring send paths</title>

[ Upstream commit 03390aa32e669cc4ecd7d34108e2e1afc13d689d ]

packet_snd() reads dev-&gt;hard_header_len multiple times while allocating
and constructing an skb. Device reconfiguration can change this value
concurrently, for example through bonding device type changes.

For SOCK_RAW, packet_snd() can save a larger value in reserve and later
allocate headroom using a smaller value. Moving skb-&gt;data back by reserve
then places it before skb-&gt;head, and the following copy from userspace can
attempt an out-of-bounds write.

packet_sendmsg_spkt() has the same issue because it calculates its
reservation and header offset from separate reads before dropping the RCU
read lock to allocate the skb.

Add LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EX() for callers that already saved a header length.
Read hard_header_len once in packet_snd() and use it for allocation and
construction. In packet_sendmsg_spkt(), preserve the allocation-time value
through the device lookup retry.

The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and
header_ops-&gt;create is not addressed here.

<title>kcov: fix data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RT</title>

commit 2eed77fdcb0cc48e8eccb2bcd4b7f2c6d650e84c upstream.

syzbot is reporting KCOV state corruption on PREEMPT_RT kernels, for the
temporary storage used for saving/restoring remote KCOV state is currently
allocated as the per-CPU area.

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, softirq handlers run as preemptible task threads
(e.g., ksoftirqd). If a softirq context preempts a task running a remote
KCOV session, it safely saves the task's state into the per-CPU area.
However, if that softirq thread is subsequently preempted by a higher-
priority softirq thread on the same CPU, the second softirq will overwrite
the same per-CPU area, permanently destroying the original task's KCOV
state.

Fix this data corruption by moving the temporary storage from the per-CPU
area to the per-thread area. Since each softirq thread now owns its own
task context, nested softirq preemption no longer causes data overwrites.

Note that while the temporary storage is now on a per-thread basis, the
per-CPU kcov_percpu_data.lock must be retained, for we need to ensure that
kcov_remote_start() and kcov_remote_stop() operate atomically without
racing against asynchronous interrupts that manipulate the current task's
KCOV state.

It is likely that GFP_KERNEL allocation by vmalloc_node() in kcov_init()
has already called panic() before returning NULL, for there will be no
OOM-killable userspace processes when __init function of built-in module
runs. But this patch also fixes crashing the kernel when vmalloc_node()
in kcov_init() returned NULL, for kcov_init() left per-CPU irq_area == NULL
but kcov_remote_start() depends on per-CPU irq_area != NULL, resulting in

  (1) doing vmalloc() in kcov_remote_start() despite !in_task() context

  (2) out-of-array-bounds access if (1) succeeded but
      kcov-&gt;remote_size &lt; CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE

  (3) always leak memory allocated by (1), eventually killing all
      OOM-killable userspace processes

problems.

<title>PCI: host-generic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on 32-bit CAM systems</title>

commit 008cb88edb41f3c7c8e0ed763ff9f26719830984 upstream.

On 32-bit systems the config space is too large to ioremap in one go, so
pci_ecam_create() maps each bus segment separately and relies on the
-&gt;add_bus callback (pci_ecam_add_bus) to populate the per-bus mapping in
cfg-&gt;winp[]. pci_ecam_map_bus() then uses that mapping as the base for
every config access.

The generic ECAM ops (pci_generic_ecam_ops) already provide the -&gt;add_bus
and -&gt;remove_bus callbacks, but the CAM (legacy) ops in pci-host-generic.c
do not. As a result, on a 32-bit host using "pci-host-cam-generic" the
per-bus mapping is never set up and the first config read dereferences a
NULL base, crashing during bus enumeration:

Fix this by giving the CAM ops the same -&gt;add_bus/-&gt;remove_bus callbacks.
Since pci_ecam_add_bus() and pci_ecam_remove_bus() are static to ecam.c,
move the CAM ops definition there as pci_generic_cam_ops (mirroring
pci_generic_ecam_ops) and export it for pci-host-generic.c to reference.

[ Upstream commit 0357ef03c94ef835bd44a0658b8edb672a9dbf51 ]

Commit 2a010c412853 ("fs: don't block i_writecount during exec") removed
the legacy behavior of getting ETXTBSY on attempt to open and executable
file for write while it is being executed.

This commit was reverted because an application that depends on this
legacy behavior was broken by the change.

We need to allow HSM writing into executable files while executed to
fill their content on-the-fly.

To that end, disable the ETXTBSY legacy behavior for files that are
watched by pre-content events.

This change is not expected to cause regressions with existing systems
which do not have any pre-content event listeners.

[ Upstream commit 0357ef03c94ef835bd44a0658b8edb672a9dbf51 ]

Commit 2a010c412853 ("fs: don't block i_writecount during exec") removed
the legacy behavior of getting ETXTBSY on attempt to open and executable
file for write while it is being executed.

This commit was reverted because an application that depends on this
legacy behavior was broken by the change.

We need to allow HSM writing into executable files while executed to
fill their content on-the-fly.

To that end, disable the ETXTBSY legacy behavior for files that are
watched by pre-content events.

This change is not expected to cause regressions with existing systems
which do not have any pre-content event listeners.

<title>fsnotify: opt-in for permission events at file open time</title>

[ Upstream commit a94204f4d48e28a711b7ed10399f749286c433e3 ]

Legacy inotify/fanotify listeners can add watches for events on inode,
parent or mount and expect to get events (e.g. FS_MODIFY) on files that
were already open at the time of setting up the watches.

fanotify permission events are typically used by Anti-malware sofware,
that is watching the entire mount and it is not common to have more that
one Anti-malware engine installed on a system.

To reduce the overhead of the fsnotify_file_perm() hooks on every file
access, relax the semantics of the legacy FAN_ACCESS_PERM event to generate
events only if there were *any* permission event listeners on the
filesystem at the time that the file was opened.

The new semantic is implemented by extending the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit into
two FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits, that are used to store a mode for which of the
events types to report.

This is going to apply to the new fanotify pre-content events in order
to reduce the cost of the new pre-content event vfs hooks.

code with CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS disabled]

[ Upstream commit d8e45f2929b94099913eb66c3ebb18b5063e9421 ]

The norm should be flexible array structures with __counted_by
annotations, so DEFINE_FLEX() is updated to expect that. Rename
the non-annotated version to DEFINE_RAW_FLEX(), and update the
few existing users. Additionally add selftests for the macros.

[ Upstream commit 74e2ef72bd4b25ce21c8f309d4f5b91b5df9ff5b ]

Cypress(Infineon) is not the vendor for this 43752 SDIO WLAN chip, and so
has not officially released any firmware binary for it. It is incorrect to
maintain this WLAN chip with firmware vendor ID as "CYW". So relabel the
chip's firmware Vendor ID as "WCC" as suggested by the maintainer.
