commit 3e977ac6179b39faa3c0eda5fce4f00663ae298d upstream.

If the user has created a read-only object, they should not be allowed
to circumvent the write protection by using a GGTT mmapping. Deny it.

Also most machines do not support read-only GGTT PTEs, so again we have
to reject attempted writes. Fortunately, this is known a priori, so we
can at least reject in the call to create the mmap (with a sanity check
in the fault handler).

v2: Check the vma-&gt;vm_flags during mmap() to allow readonly access.
v3: Remove VM_MAYWRITE to curtail mprotect()

Testcase: igt/gem_userptr_blits/readonly_mmap*

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: Align nft_expr private data to 64-bit</title>

commit 250367c59e6ba0d79d702a059712d66edacd4a1a upstream.

Invoking the following commands on a 32-bit architecture with strict
alignment requirements (such as an ARMv7-based Raspberry Pi) results
in an alignment exception:

 # nft add table ip test-ip4
 # nft add chain ip test-ip4 output { type filter hook output priority 0; }
 # nft add rule  ip test-ip4 output quota 1025 bytes

Alignment trap: not handling instruction e1b26f9f at [&lt;7f4473f8&gt;]
Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0xb832e824
Internal error: : 1 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
Hardware name: BCM2835

[&lt;8071ce3c&gt;] (__sys_sendmsg)
[&lt;8071ce94&gt;] (sys_sendmsg)

The reason is that nft_quota_do_init() calls atomic64_set() on an
atomic64_t which is only aligned to 32-bit, not 64-bit, because it
succeeds struct nft_expr in memory which only contains a 32-bit pointer.
Fix by aligning the nft_expr private data to 64-bit.

commit 169226f7e0d275c1879551f37484ef6683579a5c upstream.

We have a usecase to use tmpfs as QEMU memory backend and we would like
to take the advantage of THP as well.  But, our test shows the EPT is
not PMD mapped even though the underlying THP are PMD mapped on host.
The number showed by /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage is much less than
the number of PMD mapped shmem pages as the below:

  7f2778200000-7f2878200000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 262232 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.Hz2hSf (deleted)
  Size:            4194304 kB
  [snip]
  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  ShmemPmdMapped:   579584 kB
  [snip]
  Locked:                0 kB

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages
  12

And some benchmarks do worse than with anonymous THPs.

By digging into the code we figured out that commit 127393fbe597 ("mm:
thp: kvm: fix memory corruption in KVM with THP enabled") checks if
there is a single PTE mapping on the page for anonymous THP when setting
up EPT map.  But the _mapcount &lt; 0 check doesn't work for page cache THP
since every subpage of page cache THP would get _mapcount inc'ed once it
is PMD mapped, so PageTransCompoundMap() always returns false for page
cache THP.  This would prevent KVM from setting up PMD mapped EPT entry.

So we need handle page cache THP correctly.  However, when page cache
THP's PMD gets split, kernel just remove the map instead of setting up
PTE map like what anonymous THP does.  Before KVM calls get_user_pages()
the subpages may get PTE mapped even though it is still a THP since the
page cache THP may be mapped by other processes at the mean time.

Checking its _mapcount and whether the THP has PTE mapped or not.
Although this may report some false negative cases (PTE mapped by other
processes), it looks not trivial to make this accurate.

With this fix /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepage would show reasonable
pages are PMD mapped by EPT as the below:

  7fbeaee00000-7fbfaee00000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 275464 /dev/shm/qemu_back_mem.mem.SKUvat (deleted)
  Size:            4194304 kB

  AnonHugePages:         0 kB
  ShmemPmdMapped:   557056 kB
  [snip]
  Locked:                0 kB

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/largepages
  271

And the benchmarks are as same as anonymous THPs.

commit 55667441c84fa5e0911a0aac44fb059c15ba6da2 upstream.

UDP IPv6 packets auto flowlabels are using a 32bit secret
(static u32 hashrnd in net/core/flow_dissector.c) and
apply jhash() over fields known by the receivers.

Attackers can easily infer the 32bit secret and use this information
to identify a device and/or user, since this 32bit secret is only
set at boot time.

Really, using jhash() to generate cookies sent on the wire
is a serious security concern.

Trying to change the rol32(hash, 16) in ip6_make_flowlabel() would be
a dead end. Trying to periodically change the secret (like in sch_sfq.c)
could change paths taken in the network for long lived flows.

Let's switch to siphash, as we did in commit df453700e8d8
("inet: switch IP ID generator to siphash")

Using a cryptographically strong pseudo random function will solve this
privacy issue and more generally remove other weak points in the stack.

Packet schedulers using skb_get_hash_perturb() benefit from this change.

Fixes: b56774163f99 ("ipv6: Enable auto flow labels by default")
Fixes: 42240901f7c4 ("ipv6: Implement different admin modes for automatic flow labels")
Fixes: 67800f9b1f4e ("ipv6: Call skb_get_hash_flowi6 to get skb-&gt;hash in ip6_make_flowlabel")

<title>net: fix sk_page_frag() recursion from memory reclaim</title>

[ Upstream commit 20eb4f29b60286e0d6dc01d9c260b4bd383c58fb ]

sk_page_frag() optimizes skb_frag allocations by using per-task
skb_frag cache when it knows it's the only user.  The condition is
determined by seeing whether the socket allocation mask allows
blocking - if the allocation may block, it obviously owns the task's
context and ergo exclusively owns current-&gt;task_frag.

Unfortunately, this misses recursion through memory reclaim path.
Please take a look at the following backtrace.

     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

In [0], tcp_send_msg_locked() was using current-&gt;page_frag when it
called sk_wmem_schedule().  It already calculated how many bytes can
be fit into current-&gt;page_frag.  Due to memory pressure,
sk_wmem_schedule() called into memory reclaim path which called into
xfs and then IO issue path.  Because the filesystem in question is
backed by nbd, the control goes back into the tcp layer - back into
tcp_sendmsg_locked().

nbd sets sk_allocation to (GFP_NOIO | __GFP_MEMALLOC) which makes
sense - it's in the process of freeing memory and wants to be able to,
e.g., drop clean pages to make forward progress.  However, this
confused sk_page_frag() called from [2].  Because it only tests
whether the allocation allows blocking which it does, it now thinks
current-&gt;page_frag can be used again although it already was being
used in [0].

After [2] used current-&gt;page_frag, the offset would be increased by
the used amount.  When the control returns to [0],
current-&gt;page_frag's offset is increased and the previously calculated
number of bytes now may overrun the end of allocated memory leading to
silent memory corruptions.

Fix it by adding gfpflags_normal_context() which tests sleepable &amp;&amp;
!reclaim and use it to determine whether to use current-&gt;task_frag.

v2: Eric didn't like gfp flags being tested twice.  Introduce a new
    helper gfpflags_normal_context() and combine the two tests.

In [0], tcp_send_msg_locked() was using current-&gt;page_frag when it
called sk_wmem_schedule().  It already calculated how many bytes can
be fit into current-&gt;page_frag.  Due to memory pressure,
sk_wmem_schedule() called into memory reclaim path which called into
xfs and then IO issue path.  Because the filesystem in question is
backed by nbd, the control goes back into the tcp layer - back into
tcp_sendmsg_locked().

nbd sets sk_allocation to (GFP_NOIO | __GFP_MEMALLOC) which makes
sense - it's in the process of freeing memory and wants to be able to,
e.g., drop clean pages to make forward progress.  However, this
confused sk_page_frag() called from [2].  Because it only tests
whether the allocation allows blocking which it does, it now thinks
current-&gt;page_frag can be used again although it already was being
used in [0].

After [2] used current-&gt;page_frag, the offset would be increased by
the used amount.  When the control returns to [0],
current-&gt;page_frag's offset is increased and the previously calculated
number of bytes now may overrun the end of allocated memory leading to
silent memory corruptions.

Fix it by adding gfpflags_normal_context() which tests sleepable &amp;&amp;
!reclaim and use it to determine whether to use current-&gt;task_frag.

v2: Eric didn't like gfp flags being tested twice.  Introduce a new
    helper gfpflags_normal_context() and combine the two tests.

<title>ALSA: timer: Limit max instances per timer</title>

[ Upstream commit 9b7d869ee5a77ed4a462372bb89af622e705bfb8 ]

Currently we allow unlimited number of timer instances, and it may
bring the system hogging way too much CPU when too many timer
instances are opened and processed concurrently.  This may end up with
a soft-lockup report as triggered by syzkaller, especially when
hrtimer backend is deployed.

Since such insane number of instances aren't demanded by the normal
use case of ALSA sequencer and it merely  opens a risk only for abuse,
this patch introduces the upper limit for the number of instances per
timer backend.  As default, it's set to 1000, but for the fine-grained
timer like hrtimer, it's set to 100.

<title>sctp: fix the issue that flags are ignored when using kernel_connect</title>

commit 644fbdeacf1d3edd366e44b8ba214de9d1dd66a9 upstream.

Now sctp uses inet_dgram_connect as its proto_ops .connect, and the flags
param can't be passed into its proto .connect where this flags is really
needed.

sctp works around it by getting flags from socket file in __sctp_connect.
It works for connecting from userspace, as inherently the user sock has
socket file and it passes f_flags as the flags param into the proto_ops
.connect.

However, the sock created by sock_create_kern doesn't have a socket file,
and it passes the flags (like O_NONBLOCK) by using the flags param in
kernel_connect, which calls proto_ops .connect later.

So to fix it, this patch defines a new proto_ops .connect for sctp,
sctp_inet_connect, which calls __sctp_connect() directly with this
flags param. After this, the sctp's proto .connect can be removed.

Note that sctp_inet_connect doesn't need to do some checks that are not
needed for sctp, which makes thing better than with inet_dgram_connect.
