commit cbedfe11347fe418621bd188d58a206beb676218 upstream.

Commit d66acc39c7ce ("bitops: Optimise get_order()") introduced a
compilation warning because "rx_frag_size" is an "ushort" while
PAGE_SHIFT here is 16.

The commit changed the get_order() to be a multi-line macro where
compilers insist to check all statements in the macro even when
__builtin_constant_p(rx_frag_size) will return false as "rx_frag_size"
is a module parameter.

<title>sched/fair: Don't free p-&gt;numa_faults with concurrent readers</title>

commit 16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33 upstream.

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed -&gt;numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make -&gt;numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

<title>ALSA: compress: Fix regression on compressed capture streams</title>

commit 4475f8c4ab7b248991a60d9c02808dbb813d6be8 upstream.

A previous fix to the stop handling on compressed capture streams causes
some knock on issues. The previous fix updated snd_compr_drain_notify to
set the state back to PREPARED for capture streams. This causes some
issues however as the handling for snd_compr_poll differs between the
two states and some user-space applications were relying on the poll
failing after the stream had been stopped.

To correct this regression whilst still fixing the original problem the
patch was addressing, update the capture handling to skip the PREPARED
state rather than skipping the SETUP state as it has done until now.

commit db4d30fbb71b47e4ecb11c4efa5d8aad4b03dfae upstream.

Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an
unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB
multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is
changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant
erratum can be found here:

   https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195

There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully
disclose the impact.

This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT.

It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by
using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page
tables.

Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in
MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which
are mitigated against this issue.

the other hardware vulnerabilities.

commit 1c2eb5b2853c9f513690ba6b71072d8eb65da16a upstream.

The VMCI handle array has an integer overflow in
vmci_handle_arr_append_entry when it tries to expand the array. This can be
triggered from a guest, since the doorbell link hypercall doesn't impose a
limit on the number of doorbell handles that a VM can create in the
hypervisor, and these handles are stored in a handle array.

In this change, we introduce a mandatory max capacity for handle
arrays/lists to avoid excessive memory usage.

commit 59ea6d06cfa9247b586a695c21f94afa7183af74 upstream.

When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem
holders outside the context of the process, we focused on
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix
race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core
dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be
taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed
while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels.

If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the
mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process,
that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing
through that mm_count reference.

khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process,
but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the
khugepaged kernel thread.

collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't
modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the
coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an
invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon.  collapse_huge_page()
needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that
call pmd_trans_huge_lock().

Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a
"pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs.

The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading,
which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a
functional pmd_trans_huge_lock().

So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's
not running concurrently with the coredump...  as long as the coredump
can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading.

This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view
it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be
rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading.
So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().

commit 27da0d2ef998e222a876c0cec72aa7829a626266 upstream.

A bugfix just broke compilation of appletalk when CONFIG_SYSCTL
is disabled:

In file included from net/appletalk/ddp.c:65:
net/appletalk/ddp.c: In function 'atalk_init':
include/linux/atalk.h:164:34: error: expected expression before 'do'
 #define atalk_register_sysctl()  do { } while(0)
                                  ^~
net/appletalk/ddp.c:1934:7: note: in expansion of macro 'atalk_register_sysctl'
  rc = atalk_register_sysctl();

This is easier to avoid by using conventional inline functions
as stubs rather than macros. The header already has inline
functions for other purposes, so I'm changing over all the
macros for consistency.

It should check the return value of atalk_proc_init fails,
otherwise atalk_exit will trgger use-after-free in pde_subdir_find
while unload the module.This patch fix error cleanup path of atalk_init
