commit faa6c4c4e4ac69926564688a926105621295d613 upstream.

Currently, kunit_irq_test_timer_func() stops increasing the hrtimer
interval as soon as some forward progress is made in each of softirq and
task context.  Update it to use a more aggressive strategy: increase the
interval as long as the hrtimer is running significantly faster than
either context.

This resolves an occasional hang in the CRC and crypto library tests
under qemu-system-s390x.  It was exposed by the change in the default
preemption model on s390 from NONE to LAZY.  That seems to have exposed
the issue by allowing some forward progress to be made while the actual
system timer tick is still starved, preventing jiffies from increasing
or the task context from making much progress towards max_iterations.

commit f12c2de4f542e3220e17e0606f492110064f04cb upstream.

The network and transport header fields in struct sk_buff are 16-bit
offsets from skb-&gt;head, and U16_MAX is reserved as the unset transport
header value. batadv_tvlv_call_handler() sets both fields from a received
multicast TVLV without checking whether the TVLV end is representable.

If the end offset exceeds the field's range, skb_set_transport_header()
truncates it so that the transport header precedes the network header.
The negative difference is then returned by skb_network_header_len() as
a large u32. batadv_mcast_forw_packet() consequently accepts an oversized
multicast tracker and accesses memory beyond the skb data.

Add skb_set_transport_header_careful(), an offset-aware counterpart to
skb_reset_transport_header_careful(), which validates the final
head-relative offset before assigning it. Use the new helper in
batadv_tvlv_call_handler() and reject unrepresentable TVLVs before
setting the network header.

<title>tcp: clamp route advmss to TCP_MIN_MSS</title>

commit 870a9e42ecc6fe1b8c25d87af043cb0d9c178fe1 upstream.

tcp_select_initial_window() assumes that callers never pass an MSS
smaller than 1, but route-derived advmss values can violate that
assumption.

A too-small explicit RTAX_ADVMSS is one way to get there, but it is not
the only one. The same divide-by-zero can also be reached through the
"default advmss" path when RTAX_ADVMSS is left at 0 and the effective
advmss is later driven down by route MTU and min_adv_mss.

Introduce a tcp_dst_advmss() helper that clamps route advmss to
TCP_MIN_MSS before TCP consumes it, and use it in the TCP paths that
derive advmss from dst metrics. This keeps the effective MSS from
dropping to zero before tcp_select_initial_window() rounds the receive
window.

<title>net: advertise TCP MSS from the configured MTU, not the learned PMTU</title>

commit 2640e64195948a601430d230c9864f5426574cde upstream.

The MSS a host puts in its SYN tells the peer how big a segment it may
send us. Right now we can shrink it with a PMTU we learned on our own
send path, which is the wrong direction entirely.

On asymmetric paths this bites - think DSR load balancers, where the
request side goes through a smaller-MTU overlay. We learn a small PMTU
going out, then advertise a small MSS, and the peer stays capped for the
whole connection even though its path back to us is wide. MSS only shows
up in the SYN and never grows back.

On symmetric paths we lose nothing by dropping it either: the peer runs
its own PMTU discovery and usually already knows the real path MTU.

So work out the advertised MSS from the configured route or device MTU
and ignore the learned PMTU. Our send side is unchanged, still clamped by
tcp_current_mss(). Add ip_dst_mtu_configured()/ip6_dst_mtu_configured()
and use them from the two default_advmss() paths.

commit c39d0916da47d94909391876c9e5bd429ea7b1b9 upstream.

tcm_usbg_drop_nexus() permits session removal once tpg_port_count
reaches zero. However, usbg_port_unlink() currently decrements that
count from the fabric_pre_unlink() callback, before core_dev_del_lun()
waits for active se_lun references to drain.

If removal of the last LUN races a nexus removal, the latter can observe
a zero port count and call target_remove_session(). This frees
sess_cmd_map while an in-flight struct usbg_cmd, including its work item,
can still be accessed.

Overlapping the last-LUN unlink with nexus removal reproduces this
lifetime violation as a DEBUG_OBJECTS "free active" warning for
usbg_cmd_work, followed by a target-core BUG/Oops.

The generic target-core unlink path has no callback after
core_dev_del_lun() completes. Add an optional fabric_post_unlink()
callback and use it for the f_tcm port count. The count now remains
nonzero until core_dev_del_lun() has finished draining active LUN
references, preventing nexus removal from freeing the session during
command completion.

<title>HID: input: read battery capacity from its actual report offset</title>

commit d07644524b6511b622ee7b0e2e68c9ee43d522a4 upstream.

hidinput_query_battery_capacity() assumes the state-of-charge value is
the first byte following the report ID (buf[1]) and ignores where the
battery field actually sits within the report.

An Apple Magic Trackpad 2 precedes the AbsoluteStateOfCharge byte with a
byte of status flags in its battery reports, so this query returns the
flags byte instead of the charge level.

The device happens to make that easy to observe, because it exposes the
same cell twice: its report descriptor declares AbsoluteStateOfCharge in
two reports (0x90 and 0x9b), so hidinput_setup_battery() registers two
power supplies. Only the first one is refreshed by hid-magicmouse -- it
uses hid_get_battery(), which returns the first battery of the list --
and that refresh goes through the report event path, which parses the
field correctly. Nothing ever reports the second one, so every read of
its capacity takes the query path above. On a USB-C Magic Trackpad over
USB, on an unpatched 7.1.5:

  hid-&lt;serial&gt;-battery-144 = 100%  (Charging)      &lt;- report event path
  hid-&lt;serial&gt;-battery-155 =   3%  (Discharging)   &lt;- query path

Both are the same physical battery. A raw HIDIOCGINPUT of the two
reports at that same moment:

  report 0x90 -&gt; [90 03 64]
  report 0x9b -&gt; [9b 03 64 64 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00]
                     ^flags ^SoC = 0x64 = 100%

The device answers correctly in both cases; only the offset the kernel
reads the capacity from is wrong. 0x03 is the flags byte (present,
charging), reported as "3%".

Bluetooth takes the same query path for its capacity, where the trackpad
reported a bogus near-constant ~4% -- 0b100, the FullyCharged flag --
regardless of the real charge.

Store the battery field's offset within the report at setup time and use
it when querying, so the capacity is read from its real position. The
report event path already parses the field correctly through the HID
core; only the explicit GET_REPORT query was wrong.

Devices whose capacity field is the first field in the report have a
report_offset of 0 and are unaffected (buf[1 + 0] == buf[1]).

Devices whose capacity field is the first field in the report have a
report_offset of 0 and are unaffected (buf[1 + 0] == buf[1]).

commit d8aa5dd97944a72d4a9e3cc79bb80fcac7d6e829 upstream.

A younger me put a WARN in might_sleep() to warn about nested sleep loops. This
younger me also build a wait-loop variant that can deal with it. This wait-loop
variant doesn't have all the fancy wrappers, since it isn't used much. It also
lacks wait-bit support.

Add the wait-bit support and use it to fix the nested wait issue.

<title>futex/pi: Plug private futex exec() race</title>

commit c5f0bc9fd1cec4a00400cc727fcde03e0fde17cc upstream.

The check for private futexes whether the waiter's mm, which is stored in
the futex_key and copied into the pi_state, is the same as the owner's mm
is not sufficient for exec(). exec() has a gap where the mm check fails to
give the correct answer:

  exec()
  ...
    exec_release_mm()
      futex_exec_release()
        tsk::futex::exit_state = EXITING;
        cleanup_robust_list();
1)      tsk::futex::exit_state = OK;
    ...
    old_mm = tsk::mm;
2)  tsk::mm = -&gt;mm;

Between #1 and #2 the check for the mm is wrong as that mm is about to be
swapped out and eventually freed.

Plug this gap by:

  1) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_DEAD in
     futex_exec_release()

  2) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_OK after
     the mm has been switched.

&gt;&gt;From a futex point of view the task is dead after it finished the robust
list cleanup up to the point where it sets the state to OK again.

[ Upstream commit 6f611e5e5f3327cf2e2daabe6ee5acac58cc784e ]

Handle fbcon during display updates in fb_set_var_from_user(). Check
with fbcon if the mode change is possible, update hardware state and
finally update fbcon. Update all callers.

Only the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl currently does all steps. Other
mode-changes callers in sysfs and driver code are missing fbcon-related
steps.

With the new helper, ps3fb and sh_mobile_lcdcfb no longer maintain
fbcon state themselves.

<title>kcov: fix data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RT</title>

commit 2eed77fdcb0cc48e8eccb2bcd4b7f2c6d650e84c upstream.

syzbot is reporting KCOV state corruption on PREEMPT_RT kernels, for the
temporary storage used for saving/restoring remote KCOV state is currently
allocated as the per-CPU area.

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, softirq handlers run as preemptible task threads
(e.g., ksoftirqd). If a softirq context preempts a task running a remote
KCOV session, it safely saves the task's state into the per-CPU area.
However, if that softirq thread is subsequently preempted by a higher-
priority softirq thread on the same CPU, the second softirq will overwrite
the same per-CPU area, permanently destroying the original task's KCOV
state.

Fix this data corruption by moving the temporary storage from the per-CPU
area to the per-thread area. Since each softirq thread now owns its own
task context, nested softirq preemption no longer causes data overwrites.

Note that while the temporary storage is now on a per-thread basis, the
per-CPU kcov_percpu_data.lock must be retained, for we need to ensure that
kcov_remote_start() and kcov_remote_stop() operate atomically without
racing against asynchronous interrupts that manipulate the current task's
KCOV state.

It is likely that GFP_KERNEL allocation by vmalloc_node() in kcov_init()
has already called panic() before returning NULL, for there will be no
OOM-killable userspace processes when __init function of built-in module
runs. But this patch also fixes crashing the kernel when vmalloc_node()
in kcov_init() returned NULL, for kcov_init() left per-CPU irq_area == NULL
but kcov_remote_start() depends on per-CPU irq_area != NULL, resulting in

  (1) doing vmalloc() in kcov_remote_start() despite !in_task() context

  (2) out-of-array-bounds access if (1) succeeded but
      kcov-&gt;remote_size &lt; CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE

  (3) always leak memory allocated by (1), eventually killing all
      OOM-killable userspace processes

problems.
