[ Upstream commit bb1fceca22492109be12640d49f5ea5a544c6bb4 ]

When tcp_sendmsg() allocates a fresh and empty skb, it puts it at the
tail of the write queue using tcp_add_write_queue_tail()

Then it attempts to copy user data into this fresh skb.

If the copy fails, we undo the work and remove the fresh skb.

Unfortunately, this undo lacks the change done to tp-&gt;highest_sack and
we can leave a dangling pointer (to a freed skb)

Later, tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() can dereference this pointer and
access freed memory. For regular kernels where memory is not unmapped,
this might cause SACK bugs because tcp_highest_sack_seq() is buggy,
returning garbage instead of tp-&gt;snd_nxt, but with various debug
features like CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, this can crash the kernel.

This bug was found by Marco Grassi thanks to syzkaller.

[ Upstream commit 9abefcb1aaa58b9d5aa40a8bb12c87d02415e4c8 ]

A timer was used to restart after the bus-off state, leading to a
relatively large can_restart() executed in an interrupt context,
which in turn sets up pinctrl. When this happens during system boot,
there is a high probability of grabbing the pinctrl_list_mutex,
which is locked already by the probe() of other device, making the
kernel suspect a deadlock condition [1].

To resolve this issue, the restart_timer is replaced by a delayed
work.

[ Upstream commit 19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619 ]

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once
(badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix
get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to
problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").

In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now
fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better).  The
s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement
software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9.  Earlier kernels will
have to look at the page state itself.

Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.

To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes,
we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that
is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that
the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

<title>fix fault_in_multipages_...() on architectures with no-op access_ok()</title>

[ Upstream commit e23d4159b109167126e5bcd7f3775c95de7fee47 ]

Switching iov_iter fault-in to multipages variants has exposed an old
bug in underlying fault_in_multipages_...(); they break if the range
passed to them wraps around.  Normally access_ok() done by callers will
prevent such (and it's a guaranteed EFAULT - ERR_PTR() values fall into
such a range and they should not point to any valid objects).

However, on architectures where userland and kernel live in different
MMU contexts (e.g. s390) access_ok() is a no-op and on those a range
with a wraparound can reach fault_in_multipages_...().

Since any wraparound means EFAULT there, the fix is trivial - turn
those

    while (uaddr &lt;= end)
	    ...
into

    if (unlikely(uaddr &gt; end))
	    return -EFAULT;
    do
	    ...
    while (uaddr &lt;= end);

[ Upstream commit 96d41019e3ac55f6f0115b0ce97e4f24a3d636d2 ]

fanotify_get_response() calls fsnotify_remove_event() when it finds that
group is being released from fanotify_release() (bypass_perm is set).

However the event it removes need not be only in the group's notification
queue but it can have already moved to access_list (userspace read the
event before closing the fanotify instance fd) which is protected by a
different lock.  Thus when fsnotify_remove_event() races with
fanotify_release() operating on access_list, the list can get corrupted.

Fix the problem by moving all the logic removing permission events from
the lists to one place - fanotify_release().

[ Upstream commit ebf9ff753c041b296241990aef76163bbb2cc9c8 ]

Some irqchip drivers need to take the generic chip lock outside of the
irq context.

Provide the irq_gc_{lock_irqsave,unlock_irqrestore}() helpers to allow
one to disable irqs while entering a critical section protected by
gc-&gt;lock.

Note that we do not provide optimized version of these helpers for !SMP,
because they are not called from the hot-path.

[ tglx: Added a comment when these helpers should be [not] used ]

[ Upstream commit 332fd7c4fef5f3b166e93decb07fd69eb24f7998 ]

Pass in the irq_chip_generic struct so we can use different readl/writel
settings for each irqchip driver, when appropriate.  Compute
(gc-&gt;reg_base + reg_offset) in the helper function because this is pretty
much what all callers want to do anyway.

Compile-tested using the following configurations:

    at91_dt_defconfig (CONFIG_ATMEL_AIC_IRQ=y)
    sama5_defconfig (CONFIG_ATMEL_AIC5_IRQ=y)
    sunxi_defconfig (CONFIG_ARCH_SUNXI=y)

tb10x (ARC) is untested.
