commit 3a5465418f5fd970e86a86c7f4075be262682840 upstream.

The perf pending task work is never waited upon the matching event
release. In the case of a child event, released via free_event()
directly, this can potentially result in a leaked event, such as in the
following scenario that doesn't even require a weak IRQ work
implementation to trigger:

schedule()
   prepare_task_switch()
=======&gt; &lt;NMI&gt;
      perf_event_overflow()
         event-&gt;pending_sigtrap = ...
         irq_work_queue(&amp;event-&gt;pending_irq)
&lt;======= &lt;/NMI&gt;
      perf_event_task_sched_out()
          event_sched_out()
              event-&gt;pending_sigtrap = 0;
              atomic_long_inc_not_zero(&amp;event-&gt;refcount)
              task_work_add(&amp;event-&gt;pending_task)
   finish_lock_switch()
=======&gt; &lt;IRQ&gt;
   perf_pending_irq()
      //do nothing, rely on pending task work
&lt;======= &lt;/IRQ&gt;

begin_new_exec()
   perf_event_exit_task()
      perf_event_exit_event()
         // If is child event
         free_event()
            WARN(atomic_long_cmpxchg(&amp;event-&gt;refcount, 1, 0) != 1)
            // event is leaked

Similar scenarios can also happen with perf_event_remove_on_exec() or
simply against concurrent perf_event_release().

Fix this with synchonizing against the possibly remaining pending task
work while freeing the event, just like is done with remaining pending
IRQ work. This means that the pending task callback neither need nor
should hold a reference to the event, preventing it from ever beeing
freed.

commit b3bebe44306e23827397d0d774d206e3fa374041 upstream.

Outline and export free_reserved_page() because modules use it and it in
turn uses page_ext_{get|put} which should not be exported.  The same
result could be obtained by outlining {get|put}_page_tag_ref() but that
would have higher performance impact as these functions are used in more
performance critical paths.

<title>fbdev: vesafb: Detect VGA compatibility from screen info's VESA attributes</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c2bc958b2b03e361f14df99983bc64a39a7323a3 upstream.

Test the vesa_attributes field in struct screen_info for compatibility
with VGA hardware. Vesafb currently tests bit 1 in screen_info's
capabilities field which indicates a 64-bit lfb address and is
unrelated to VGA compatibility.

Section 4.4 of the Vesa VBE 2.0 specifications defines that bit 5 in
the mode's attributes field signals VGA compatibility. The mode is
compatible with VGA hardware if the bit is clear. In that case, the
driver can access VGA state of the VBE's underlying hardware. The
vesafb driver uses this feature to program the color LUT in palette
modes. Without, colors might be incorrect.

The problem got introduced in commit 89ec4c238e7a ("[PATCH] vesafb: Fix
incorrect logo colors in x86_64"). It incorrectly stores the mode
attributes in the screen_info's capabilities field and updates vesafb
accordingly. Later, commit 5e8ddcbe8692 ("Video mode probing support for
the new x86 setup code") fixed the screen_info, but did not update vesafb.
Color output still tends to work, because bit 1 in capabilities is
usually 0.

Besides fixing the bug in vesafb, this commit introduces a helper that
reads the correct bit from screen_info.

commit e3a00a23781c1f2fcda98a7aecaac515558e7a35 upstream.

Instead of computing the number of descriptor blocks a transaction can
have each time we need it (which is currently when starting each
transaction but will become more frequent later) precompute the number
once during journal initialization together with maximum transaction
size. We perform the precomputation whenever journal feature set is
updated similarly as for computation of
journal-&gt;j_revoke_records_per_block.

commit 4aa99c71e42ad60178c1154ec24e3df9c684fb67 upstream.

There's no reason to have jbd2_journal_get_max_txn_bufs() public
function. Currently all users are internal and can use
journal-&gt;j_max_transaction_buffers instead. This saves some unnecessary
recomputations of the limit as a bonus which becomes important as this
function gets more complex in the following patch.

commit c37927a203fa283950f6045602b9f71328ad786c upstream.

The callers of request_irq() don't care about IRQF_ONESHOT because they
don't provide threaded handlers, but if they happen to share the IRQ with
the ACPI SCI, which has a threaded handler and sets IRQF_ONESHOT,
request_irq() will fail for them due to a flags mismatch.

Address this by making request_irq() add IRQF_COND_ONESHOT to the flags
passed to request_threaded_irq() for all of its callers.

commit 68cbd415dd4b9c5b9df69f0f091879e56bf5907a upstream.

A proper task_work_cancel() API that actually cancels a callback and not
*any* callback pointing to a given function is going to be needed for
perf events event freeing. Do the appropriate rename to prepare for
that.

<title>lsm: fixup the inode xattr capability handling</title>

commit 61df7b82820494368bd46071ca97e43a3dfc3b11 upstream.

The current security_inode_setxattr() and security_inode_removexattr()
hooks rely on individual LSMs to either call into the associated
capability hooks (cap_inode_setxattr() or cap_inode_removexattr()), or
return a magic value of 1 to indicate that the LSM layer itself should
perform the capability checks.  Unfortunately, with the default return
value for these LSM hooks being 0, an individual LSM hook returning a
1 will cause the LSM hook processing to exit early, potentially
skipping a LSM.  Thankfully, with the exception of the BPF LSM, none
of the LSMs which currently register inode xattr hooks should end up
returning a value of 1, and in the BPF LSM case, with the BPF LSM hooks
executing last there should be no real harm in stopping processing of
the LSM hooks.  However, the reliance on the individual LSMs to either
call the capability hooks themselves, or signal the LSM with a return
value of 1, is fragile and relies on a specific set of LSMs being
enabled.  This patch is an effort to resolve, or minimize, these
issues.

Before we discuss the solution, there are a few observations and
considerations that we need to take into account:
* BPF LSM registers an implementation for every LSM hook, and that
  implementation simply returns the hook's default return value, a
  0 in this case.  We want to ensure that the default BPF LSM behavior
  results in the capability checks being called.
* SELinux and Smack do not expect the traditional capability checks
  to be applied to the xattrs that they "own".
* SELinux and Smack are currently written in such a way that the
  xattr capability checks happen before any additional LSM specific
  access control checks.  SELinux does apply SELinux specific access
  controls to all xattrs, even those not "owned" by SELinux.
* IMA and EVM also register xattr hooks but assume that the LSM layer
  and specific LSMs have already authorized the basic xattr operation.

In order to ensure we perform the capability based access controls
before the individual LSM access controls, perform only one capability
access control check for each operation, and clarify the logic around
applying the capability controls, we need a mechanism to determine if
any of the enabled LSMs "own" a particular xattr and want to take
responsibility for controlling access to that xattr.  The solution in
this patch is to create a new LSM hook, 'inode_xattr_skipcap', that is
not exported to the rest of the kernel via a security_XXX() function,
but is used by the LSM layer to determine if a LSM wants to control
access to a given xattr and avoid the traditional capability controls.
Registering an inode_xattr_skipcap hook is optional, if a LSM declines
to register an implementation, or uses an implementation that simply
returns the default value (0), there is no effect as the LSM continues
to enforce the capability based controls (unless another LSM takes
ownership of the xattr).  If none of the LSMs signal that the
capability checks should be skipped, the capability check is performed
and if access is granted the individual LSM xattr access control hooks
are executed, keeping with the DAC-before-LSM convention.

commit 00e3913b0416fe69d28745c0a2a340e2f76c219c upstream.

This reverts commit d3155742db89df3b3c96da383c400e6ff4d23c25.

The header_length field is byte unit, thus it can not express the number of
elements in header field. It seems that the argument for counted_by
attribute can have no arithmetic expression, therefore this commit just
reverts the issued commit.
