[ Upstream commit 9876cfe8ec1cb3c88de31f4d58d57b0e7e22bcc4 ]

This sysctl has the very unusual behaviour of not allowing any user (even
CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to reduce the restriction setting, meaning that if you were
to set this sysctl to a more restrictive option in the host pidns you
would need to reboot your machine in order to reset it.

The justification given in [1] is that this is a security feature and thus
it should not be possible to disable.  Aside from the fact that we have
plenty of security-related sysctls that can be disabled after being
enabled (fs.protected_symlinks for instance), the protection provided by
the sysctl is to stop users from being able to create a binary and then
execute it.  A user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can trivially do this without
memfd_create(2):

  % cat mount-memfd.c
  #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
  #include &lt;string.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
  #include &lt;linux/mount.h&gt;

  #define SHELLCODE "#!/bin/echo this file was executed from this totally private tmpfs:"

  int main(void)
  {
  	int fsfd = fsopen("tmpfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
  	assert(fsfd &gt;= 0);
  	assert(!fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 2));

  	int dfd = fsmount(fsfd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, 0);
  	assert(dfd &gt;= 0);

  	int execfd = openat(dfd, "exe", O_CREAT | O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC, 0782);
  	assert(execfd &gt;= 0);
  	assert(write(execfd, SHELLCODE, strlen(SHELLCODE)) == strlen(SHELLCODE));
  	assert(!close(execfd));

  	char *execpath = NULL;
  	char *argv[] = { "bad-exe", NULL }, *envp[] = { NULL };
  	execfd = openat(dfd, "exe", O_PATH | O_CLOEXEC);
  	assert(execfd &gt;= 0);
  	assert(asprintf(&amp;execpath, "/proc/self/fd/%d", execfd) &gt; 0);
  	assert(!execve(execpath, argv, envp));
  }
  % ./mount-memfd
  this file was executed from this totally private tmpfs: /proc/self/fd/5
  %

Given that it is possible for CAP_SYS_ADMIN users to create executable
binaries without memfd_create(2) and without touching the host filesystem
(not to mention the many other things a CAP_SYS_ADMIN process would be
able to do that would be equivalent or worse), it seems strange to cause a
fair amount of headache to admins when there doesn't appear to be an
actual security benefit to blocking this.  There appear to be concerns
about confused-deputy-esque attacks[2] but a confused deputy that can
write to arbitrary sysctls is a bigger security issue than executable
memfds.

/* New API */

The primary requirement from the original author appears to be more based
on the need to be able to restrict an entire system in a hierarchical
manner[3], such that child namespaces cannot re-enable executable memfds.

So, implement that behaviour explicitly -- the vm.memfd_noexec scope is
evaluated up the pidns tree to &amp;init_pid_ns and you have the most
restrictive value applied to you.  The new lower limit you can set
vm.memfd_noexec is whatever limit applies to your parent.

Note that a pidns will inherit a copy of the parent pidns's effective
vm.memfd_noexec setting at unshare() time.  This matches the existing
behaviour, and it also ensures that a pidns will never have its
vm.memfd_noexec setting *lowered* behind its back (but it will be raised
if the parent raises theirs).

/* Backwards Compatibility */

As the previous version of the sysctl didn't allow you to lower the
setting at all, there are no backwards compatibility issues with this
aspect of the change.

However it should be noted that now that the setting is completely
hierarchical.  Previously, a cloned pidns would just copy the current
pidns setting, meaning that if the parent's vm.memfd_noexec was changed it
wouldn't propoagate to existing pid namespaces.  Now, the restriction
applies recursively.  This is a uAPI change, however:

 * The sysctl is very new, having been merged in 6.3.
 * Several aspects of the sysctl were broken up until this patchset and
   the other patchset by Jeff Xu last month.

And thus it seems incredibly unlikely that any real users would run into
this issue. In the worst case, if this causes userspace isues we could
make it so that modifying the setting follows the hierarchical rules but
the restriction checking uses the cached copy.

[ Upstream commit 202e14222fadb246dfdf182e67de1518e86a1e20 ]

Given the difficulty of auditing all of userspace to figure out whether
every memfd_create() user has switched to passing MFD_EXEC and
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL flags, it seems far less distruptive to make it possible
for older programs that don't make use of executable memfds to run under
vm.memfd_noexec=2.  Otherwise, a small dependency change can result in
spurious errors.  For programs that don't use executable memfds, passing
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is functionally a no-op and thus having the same

In addition, every failure under vm.memfd_noexec=2 needs to print to the
kernel log so that userspace can figure out where the error came from.
The concerns about pr_warn_ratelimited() spam that caused the switch to
pr_warn_once()[1,2] do not apply to the vm.memfd_noexec=2 case.

This is a user-visible API change, but as it allows programs to do
something that would be blocked before, and the sysctl itself was broken
and recently released, it seems unlikely this will cause any issues.

[ Upstream commit 9e14606d8f38ea52a38c27692a9c1513c987a5da ]

Since limited tracking device per condition, this feature is to support
tracking multiple devices concurrently.
When a pattern monitor detects the device, this feature issues an address
monitor for tracking that device. Let pattern monitor can keep monitor
new devices.
This feature adds an address filter when receiving a LE monitor device
event which monitor handle is for a pattern, and the controller started
monitoring the device. And this feature also has cancelled the monitor
advertisement from address filters when receiving a LE monitor device
event when the controller stopped monitoring the device specified by an
address and monitor handle.

Below is an example to know the feature adds the address filter.

//Add MSFT pattern monitor

When a pattern monitor detects the device, this feature issues an address
monitor for tracking that device. Let pattern monitor can keep monitor
new devices.
This feature adds an address filter when receiving a LE monitor device
event which monitor handle is for a pattern, and the controller started
monitoring the device. And this feature also has cancelled the monitor
advertisement from address filters when receiving a LE monitor device
event when the controller stopped monitoring the device specified by an
address and monitor handle.

Below is an example to know the feature adds the address filter.

commit 9300f00439743c4a34d735e1a27118eb68a1504e upstream.

This patch add back the ptrace support with the following fix:
 - Define NT_RISCV_CSR and re-number NT_RISCV_VECTOR to prevent
   conflicting with gdb's NT_RISCV_CSR.
 - Use struct __riscv_v_regset_state to handle ptrace requests

Since gdb does not directly include the note description header in
Linux and has already defined NT_RISCV_CSR as 0x900, we decide to
sync with gdb and renumber NT_RISCV_VECTOR to solve and prevent future
conflicts.

commit 5cd474e57368f0957c343bb21e309cf82826b1ef upstream.

Interrupts are blocked in SDEI context, per the SDEI spec: "The client
interrupts cannot preempt the event handler." If we crashed in the SDEI
handler-running context (as with ACPI's AGDI) then we need to clean up the
SDEI state before proceeding to the crash kernel so that the crash kernel
can have working interrupts.

Track the active SDEI handler per-cpu so that we can COMPLETE_AND_RESUME
the handler, discarding the interrupted context.

commit a4f39c9f14a634e4cd35fcd338c239d11fcc73fc upstream.

The goal is to support a bpf_redirect() from an ethernet device (ingress)
to a ppp device (egress).
The l2 header is added automatically by the ppp driver, thus the ethernet
header should be removed.

[ Upstream commit 10d3340441bd0db857fc7fcb1733a800acf47a3d ]

The new set of drivers for RZ/G2L MTU3a tries to enable compile-testing the
individual client drivers even when the MFD portion is disabled but gets it
wrong, causing a link failure when the core is in a loadable module but the
other drivers are built-in:

x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/pwm/pwm-rz-mtu3.o: in function `rz_mtu3_pwm_apply':
pwm-rz-mtu3.c:(.text+0x4bf): undefined reference to `rz_mtu3_8bit_ch_write'
x86_64-linux-ld: pwm-rz-mtu3.c:(.text+0x509): undefined reference to `rz_mtu3_disable'

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/counter/rz-mtu3-cnt.o: in function `rz_mtu3_cascade_counts_enable_get':
rz-mtu3-cnt.c:(.text+0xbec): undefined reference to `rz_mtu3_shared_reg_read'

It seems better not to add the extra complexity here but instead just use
a normal hard dependency, so remove the #else portion in the header along
with the "|| COMPILE_TEST". This could also be fixed by having slightly more
elaborate Kconfig dependencies or using the cursed 'IS_REACHABLE()' helper,
but in practice it's already possible to compile-test all these drivers
by enabling the mtd portion.

[ Upstream commit 81e1d9a39569d315f747c2af19ce502cd08645ed ]

Currently, of_nvmem_layout_get_container() returns NULL on error, or an
error pointer if either CONFIG_NVMEM or CONFIG_OF is turned off. We
should likely avoid this kind of mix for two reasons: to clarify the
intend and anyway fix the !CONFIG_OF which will likely always if we use
this helper somewhere else. Let's just return NULL when no layout is
found, we don't need an error value here.
