commit 349f0086ba8b2a169877d21ff15a4d9da3a60054 upstream.

In 32-bit x86 builds CONFIG_STATIC_CALL_INLINE isn't set, leading to
static_call_initialized not being available.

Define it as "0" in that case.

commit 0ef8047b737d7480a5d4c46d956e97c190f13050 upstream.

Add static_call_update_early() for updating static-call targets in
very early boot.

This will be needed for support of Xen guest type specific hypercall
functions.

This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.

[ Upstream commit b454abfab52543c44b581afc807b9f97fc1e7a3a ]

The Felix DSA driver presents unique challenges that make the simplistic
ocelot PTP TX timestamping procedure unreliable: any transmitted packet
may be lost in hardware before it ever leaves our local system.

This may happen because there is congestion on the DSA conduit, the
switch CPU port or even user port (Qdiscs like taprio may delay packets
indefinitely by design).

The technical problem is that the kernel, i.e. ocelot_port_add_txtstamp_skb(),
runs out of timestamp IDs eventually, because it never detects that
packets are lost, and keeps the IDs of the lost packets on hold
indefinitely. The manifestation of the issue once the entire timestamp
ID range becomes busy looks like this in dmesg:

mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: port 0 delivering skb without TX timestamp
mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: port 1 delivering skb without TX timestamp

At the surface level, we need a timeout timer so that the kernel knows a
timestamp ID is available again. But there is a deeper problem with the
implementation, which is the monotonically increasing ocelot_port-&gt;ts_id.
In the presence of packet loss, it will be impossible to detect that and
reuse one of the holes created in the range of free timestamp IDs.

What we actually need is a bitmap of 63 timestamp IDs tracking which one
is available. That is able to use up holes caused by packet loss, but
also gives us a unique opportunity to not implement an actual timer_list
for the timeout timer (very complicated in terms of locking).

We could only declare a timestamp ID stale on demand (lazily), aka when
there's no other timestamp ID available. There are pros and cons to this
approach: the implementation is much more simple than per-packet timers
would be, but most of the stale packets would be quasi-leaked - not
really leaked, but blocked in driver memory, since this algorithm sees
no reason to free them.

An improved technique would be to check for stale timestamp IDs every
time we allocate a new one. Assuming a constant flux of PTP packets,
this avoids stale packets being blocked in memory, but of course,
packets lost at the end of the flux are still blocked until the flux
resumes (nobody left to kick them out).

Since implementing per-packet timers is way too complicated, this should
be good enough.

Testing procedure:

Persistently block traffic class 5 and try to run PTP on it:

(...)

Notice that in this new usage pattern, a non-congested port should
basically use timestamp ID 0 all the time, progressing to higher numbers
only if there are unacknowledged timestamps in flight. Compare this to
the old usage, where the timestamp ID used to monotonically increase
modulo OCELOT_MAX_PTP_ID.

In terms of implementation, this simplifies the bookkeeping of the
ocelot_port :: ts_id and ptp_skbs_in_flight. Since we need to traverse
the list of two-step timestampable skbs for each new packet anyway, the
information can already be computed and does not need to be stored.
Also, ocelot_port-&gt;tx_skbs is always accessed under the switch-wide
ocelot-&gt;ts_id_lock IRQ-unsafe spinlock, so we don't need the skb queue's
lock and can use the unlocked primitives safely.

This problem was actually detected using the tc-taprio offload, and is
causing trouble in TSN scenarios, which Felix (NXP LS1028A / VSC9959)
supports but Ocelot (VSC7514) does not. Thus, I've selected the commit
to blame as the one adding initial timestamping support for the Felix
switch.

(...)

Notice that in this new usage pattern, a non-congested port should
basically use timestamp ID 0 all the time, progressing to higher numbers
only if there are unacknowledged timestamps in flight. Compare this to
the old usage, where the timestamp ID used to monotonically increase
modulo OCELOT_MAX_PTP_ID.

In terms of implementation, this simplifies the bookkeeping of the
ocelot_port :: ts_id and ptp_skbs_in_flight. Since we need to traverse
the list of two-step timestampable skbs for each new packet anyway, the
information can already be computed and does not need to be stored.
Also, ocelot_port-&gt;tx_skbs is always accessed under the switch-wide
ocelot-&gt;ts_id_lock IRQ-unsafe spinlock, so we don't need the skb queue's
lock and can use the unlocked primitives safely.

This problem was actually detected using the tc-taprio offload, and is
causing trouble in TSN scenarios, which Felix (NXP LS1028A / VSC9959)
supports but Ocelot (VSC7514) does not. Thus, I've selected the commit
to blame as the one adding initial timestamping support for the Felix
switch.

<title>bpf: Fix theoretical prog_array UAF in __uprobe_perf_func()</title>

commit 7d0d673627e20cfa3b21a829a896ce03b58a4f1c upstream.

Currently, the pointer stored in call-&gt;prog_array is loaded in
__uprobe_perf_func(), with no RCU annotation and no immediately visible
RCU protection, so it looks as if the loaded pointer can immediately be
dangling.
Later, bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() starts a RCU-trace read-side critical
section, but this is too late. It then uses rcu_dereference_check(), but
this use of rcu_dereference_check() does not actually dereference anything.

Fix it by aligning the semantics to bpf_prog_run_array(): Let the caller
provide rcu_read_lock_trace() protection and then load call-&gt;prog_array
with rcu_dereference_check().

This issue seems to be theoretical: I don't know of any way to reach this
code without having handle_swbp() further up the stack, which is already
holding a rcu_read_lock_trace() lock, so where we take
rcu_read_lock_trace() in __uprobe_perf_func()/bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe()
doesn't actually have any effect.

commit c00d738e1673ab801e1577e4e3c780ccf88b1a5b upstream.

This patch reverts commit
cb4158ce8ec8 ("bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL"). The
patch was well-intended and meant to be as a stop-gap fixing branch
prediction when the pointer may actually be NULL at runtime. Eventually,
it was supposed to be replaced by an automated script or compiler pass
detecting possibly NULL arguments and marking them accordingly.

However, it caused two main issues observed for production programs and
failed to preserve backwards compatibility. First, programs relied on
the verifier not exploring == NULL branch when pointer is not NULL, thus
they started failing with a 'dereference of scalar' error.  Next,
allowing raw_tp arguments to be modified surfaced the warning in the
verifier that warns against reg-&gt;off when PTR_MAYBE_NULL is set.

More information, context, and discusson on both problems is available
in [0]. Overall, this approach had several shortcomings, and the fixes
would further complicate the verifier's logic, and the entire masking
scheme would have to be removed eventually anyway.

Hence, revert the patch in preparation of a better fix avoiding these
issues to replace this commit.

<title>block: Prevent potential deadlocks in zone write plug error recovery</title>

commit fe0418eb9bd69a19a948b297c8de815e05f3cde1 upstream.

Zone write plugging for handling writes to zones of a zoned block
device always execute a zone report whenever a write BIO to a zone
fails. The intent of this is to ensure that the tracking of a zone write
pointer is always correct to ensure that the alignment to a zone write
pointer of write BIOs can be checked on submission and that we can
always correctly emulate zone append operations using regular write
BIOs.

However, this error recovery scheme introduces a potential deadlock if a
device queue freeze is initiated while BIOs are still plugged in a zone
write plug and one of these write operation fails. In such case, the
disk zone write plug error recovery work is scheduled and executes a
report zone. This in turn can result in a request allocation in the
underlying driver to issue the report zones command to the device. But
with the device queue freeze already started, this allocation will
block, preventing the report zone execution and the continuation of the
processing of the plugged BIOs. As plugged BIOs hold a queue usage
reference, the queue freeze itself will never complete, resulting in a
deadlock.

Avoid this problem by completely removing from the zone write plugging
code the use of report zones operations after a failed write operation,
instead relying on the device user to either execute a report zones,
reset the zone, finish the zone, or give up writing to the device (which
is a fairly common pattern for file systems which degrade to read-only
after write failures). This is not an unreasonnable requirement as all
well-behaved applications, FSes and device mapper already use report
zones to recover from write errors whenever possible by comparing the
current position of a zone write pointer with what their assumption
about the position is.

The changes to remove the automatic error recovery are as follows:
 - Completely remove the error recovery work and its associated
   resources (zone write plug list head, disk error list, and disk
   zone_wplugs_work work struct). This also removes the functions
   disk_zone_wplug_set_error() and disk_zone_wplug_clear_error().

 - Change the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_ERROR zone write plug flag into
   BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_NEED_WP_UPDATE. This new flag is set for a zone write
   plug whenever a write opration targetting the zone of the zone write
   plug fails. This flag indicates that the zone write pointer offset is
   not reliable and that it must be updated when the next report zone,
   reset zone, finish zone or disk revalidation is executed.

 - Modify blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() to set the
   BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_NEED_WP_UPDATE flag for the target zone of a failed
   write BIO.

 - Modify the function disk_zone_wplug_set_wp_offset() to clear this
   new flag, thus implementing recovery of a correct write pointer
   offset with the reset (all) zone and finish zone operations.

 - Modify blkdev_report_zones() to always use the disk_report_zones_cb()
   callback so that disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset() can be called for
   any zone marked with the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_NEED_WP_UPDATE flag.
   This implements recovery of a correct write pointer offset for zone
   write plugs marked with BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_NEED_WP_UPDATE and within
   the range of the report zones operation executed by the user.

 - Modify blk_revalidate_seq_zone() to call
   disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset() for all sequential write required
   zones when a zoned block device is revalidated, thus always resolving
   any inconsistency between the write pointer offset of zone write
   plugs and the actual write pointer position of sequential zones.

commit b76b840fd93374240b59825f1ab8e2f5c9907acb upstream.

The zone reclaim processing of the dm-zoned device mapper uses
blkdev_issue_zeroout() to align the write pointer of a zone being used
for reclaiming another zone, to write the valid data blocks from the
zone being reclaimed at the same position relative to the zone start in
the reclaim target zone.

The first call to blkdev_issue_zeroout() will try to use hardware
offload using a REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation if the device reports a
non-zero max_write_zeroes_sectors queue limit. If this operation fails
because of the lack of hardware support, blkdev_issue_zeroout() falls
back to using a regular write operation with the zero-page as buffer.
Currently, such REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES failure is automatically handled by
the block layer zone write plugging code which will execute a report
zones operation to ensure that the write pointer of the target zone of
the failed operation has not changed and to "rewind" the zone write
pointer offset of the target zone as it was advanced when the write zero
operation was submitted. So the REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES failure does not
cause any issue and blkdev_issue_zeroout() works as expected.

However, since the automatic recovery of zone write pointers by the zone
write plugging code can potentially cause deadlocks with queue freeze
operations, a different recovery must be implemented in preparation for
the removal of zone write plugging report zones based recovery.

Do this by introducing the new function blk_zone_issue_zeroout(). This
function first calls blkdev_issue_zeroout() with the flag
BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK to intercept failures on the first execution
which attempt to use the device hardware offload with the
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation. If this attempt fails, a report zone
operation is issued to restore the zone write pointer offset of the
target zone to the correct position and blkdev_issue_zeroout() is called
again without the BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK flag. The report zones
operation performing this recovery is implemented using the helper
function disk_zone_sync_wp_offset() which calls the gendisk report_zones
file operation with the callback disk_report_zones_cb(). This callback
updates the target write pointer offset of the target zone using the new
function disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset().

dmz_reclaim_align_wp() is modified to change its call to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() to a call to blk_zone_issue_zeroout() without any
other change needed as the two functions are functionnally equivalent.

commit b76b840fd93374240b59825f1ab8e2f5c9907acb upstream.

The zone reclaim processing of the dm-zoned device mapper uses
blkdev_issue_zeroout() to align the write pointer of a zone being used
for reclaiming another zone, to write the valid data blocks from the
zone being reclaimed at the same position relative to the zone start in
the reclaim target zone.

The first call to blkdev_issue_zeroout() will try to use hardware
offload using a REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation if the device reports a
non-zero max_write_zeroes_sectors queue limit. If this operation fails

<title>virtio_ring: add a func argument 'recycle_done' to virtqueue_resize()</title>

commit 8d6712c892019b9b9dc5c7039edd3c9d770b510b upstream.

When virtqueue_resize() has actually recycled all unused buffers,
additional work may be required in some cases. Relying solely on its
return status is fragile, so introduce a new function argument
'recycle_done', which is invoked when the recycle really occurs.

<title>clocksource: Make negative motion detection more robust</title>

commit 76031d9536a076bf023bedbdb1b4317fc801dd67 upstream.

Guenter reported boot stalls on a emulated ARM 32-bit platform, which has a
24-bit wide clocksource.

It turns out that the calculated maximal idle time, which limits idle
sleeps to prevent clocksource wrap arounds, is close to the point where the
negative motion detection triggers.

  max_idle_ns:                    597268854 ns
  negative motion tripping point: 671088640 ns

If the idle wakeup is delayed beyond that point, the clocksource
advances far enough to trigger the negative motion detection. This
prevents the clock to advance and in the worst case the system stalls
completely if the consecutive sleeps based on the stale clock are
delayed as well.

Cure this by calculating a more robust cut-off value for negative motion,
which covers 87.5% of the actual clocksource counter width. Compare the
delta against this value to catch negative motion. This is specifically for
clock sources with a small counter width as their wrap around time is close
to the half counter width. For clock sources with wide counters this is not
a problem because the maximum idle time is far from the half counter width
due to the math overflow protection constraints.

For the case at hand this results in a tripping point of 1174405120ns.

Note, that this cannot prevent issues when the delay exceeds the 87.5%
margin, but that's not different from the previous unchecked version which
allowed arbitrary time jumps.

Systems with small counter width are prone to invalid results, but this
problem is unlikely to be seen on real hardware. If such a system
completely stalls for more than half a second, then there are other more
urgent problems than the counter wrapping around.
