commit edf28f4061afe4c2d9eb1c3323d90e882c1d6800 upstream.

This reverts commit a97955844807e327df11aa33869009d14d6b7de0.

Commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage
in exit_sem()") removes a lock that is needed.  This leads to a process
looping infinitely in exit_sem() and can also lead to a crash.  There is
a reproducer available in [1] and with the commit reverted the issue
does not reproduce anymore.

Using the reproducer found in [1] is fairly easy to reach a point where
one of the child processes is looping infinitely in exit_sem between
for(;;) and if (semid == -1) block, while it's trying to free its last
sem_undo structure which has already been freed by freeary().

Each sem_undo struct is on two lists: one per semaphore set (list_id)
and one per process (list_proc).  The list_id list tracks undos by
semaphore set, and the list_proc by process.

Undo structures are removed either by freeary() or by exit_sem().  The
freeary function is invoked when the user invokes a syscall to remove a
semaphore set.  During this operation freeary() traverses the list_id
associated with the semaphore set and removes the undo structures from
both the list_id and list_proc lists.

For this case, exit_sem() is called at process exit.  Each process
contains a struct sem_undo_list (referred to as "ulp") which contains
the head for the list_proc list.  When the process exits, exit_sem()
traverses this list to remove each sem_undo struct.  As in freeary(),
whenever a sem_undo struct is removed from list_proc, it is also removed
from the list_id list.

Removing elements from list_id is safe for both exit_sem() and freeary()
due to sem_lock().  Removing elements from list_proc is not safe;
freeary() locks &amp;un-&gt;ulp-&gt;lock when it performs
list_del_rcu(&amp;un-&gt;list_proc) but exit_sem() does not (locking was
removed by commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list
lock usage in exit_sem()").

This can result in the following situation while executing the
reproducer [1] : Consider a child process in exit_sem() and the parent
in freeary() (because of semctl(sid[i], NSEM, IPC_RMID)).

 - The list_proc for the child contains the last two undo structs A and
   B (the rest have been removed either by exit_sem() or freeary()).

 - The semid for A is 1 and semid for B is 2.

 - exit_sem() removes A and at the same time freeary() removes B.

 - Since A and B have different semid sem_lock() will acquire different
   locks for each process and both can proceed.

The bug is that they remove A and B from the same list_proc at the same
time because only freeary() acquires the ulp lock. When exit_sem()
removes A it makes ulp-&gt;list_proc.next to point at B and at the same
time freeary() removes B setting B-&gt;semid=-1.

At the next iteration of for(;;) loop exit_sem() will try to remove B.

The only way to break from for(;;) is for (&amp;un-&gt;list_proc ==
&amp;ulp-&gt;list_proc) to be true which is not. Then exit_sem() will check if
B-&gt;semid=-1 which is and will continue looping in for(;;) until the
memory for B is reallocated and the value at B-&gt;semid is changed.

At that point, exit_sem() will crash attempting to unlink B from the
lists (this can be easily triggered by running the reproducer [1] a
second time).

To prove this scenario instrumentation was added to keep information
about each sem_undo (un) struct that is removed per process and per
semaphore set (sma).

          CPU0                                CPU1
  [caller holds sem_lock(sma for A)]      ...
  freeary()                               exit_sem()
  ...                                     ...
  ...                                     sem_lock(sma for B)
  spin_lock(A-&gt;ulp-&gt;lock)                 ...
  list_del_rcu(un_A-&gt;list_proc)           list_del_rcu(un_B-&gt;list_proc)

Undo structures A and B have different semid and sem_lock() operations
proceed.  However they belong to the same list_proc list and they are
removed at the same time.  This results into ulp-&gt;list_proc.next
pointing to the address of B which is already removed.

After reverting commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded
sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()") the issue was no longer
reproducible.

The varable names got a mess, thus standardize them again:

id: user space id. Called semid, shmid, msgid if the type is known.
    Most functions use "id" already.
idx: "index" for the idr lookup
    Right now, some functions use lid, ipc_addid() already uses idx as
    the variable name.
seq: sequence number, to avoid quick collisions of the user space id
key: user space key, used for the rhash tree

Both the comment and the name of ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() are misleading:
The function must be called while holdling the rw semaphore.

Therefore the patch renames the function to ipcctl_obtain_check(): This
name matches the other names used in util.c:

- "obtain" function look up a pointer in the idr, without
  acquiring the object lock.
- The caller is responsible for locking.
- _check means that the sequence number is checked.

ipc_addid() is impossible to use:
- for certain failures, the caller must not use ipc_rcu_putref(),
  because the reference counter is not yet initialized.
- for other failures, the caller must use ipc_rcu_putref(),
  because parallel operations could be ongoing already.

The patch cleans that up, by initializing the refcount early, and by
modifying all callers.

The issues is related to the finding of
syzbot+2827ef6b3385deb07eaf@syzkaller.appspotmail.com: syzbot found an
issue with reading kern_ipc_perm.seq, here both read and write to already
released memory could happen.

released memory could happen.

ipc_addid() initializes kern_ipc_perm.id after having called
ipc_idr_alloc().

Thus a parallel semctl() or msgctl() that uses e.g.  MSG_STAT may use this
unitialized value as the return code.

The patch moves all accesses to kern_ipc_perm.id under the spin_lock().

The BTF conflicts were simple overlapping changes.

The virtio_net conflict was an overlap of a fix of statistics counter,
happening alongisde a move over to a bonafide statistics structure
rather than counting value on the stack.

In order for load/store tearing prevention to work, _all_ accesses to
the variable in question need to be done around READ and WRITE_ONCE()
macros.  Ensure everyone does so for q-&gt;status variable for
semtimedop().

<title>rhashtable: split rhashtable.h</title>

Due to the use of rhashtables in net namespaces,
rhashtable.h is included in lots of the kernel,
so a small changes can required a large recompilation.
This makes development painful.

This patch splits out rhashtable-types.h which just includes
the major type declarations, and does not include (non-trivial)
inline code.  rhashtable.h is no longer included by anything
in the include/ directory.
Common include files only include rhashtable-types.h so a large
recompilation is only triggered when that changes.

<title>sysvipc/sem: mitigate semnum index against spectre v1</title>

Both smatch and coverity are reporting potential issues with spectre
variant 1 with the 'semnum' index within the sma-&gt;sems array, ie:

  ipc/sem.c:388 sem_lock() warn: potential spectre issue 'sma-&gt;sems'
  ipc/sem.c:641 perform_atomic_semop_slow() warn: potential spectre issue 'sma-&gt;sems'
  ipc/sem.c:721 perform_atomic_semop() warn: potential spectre issue 'sma-&gt;sems'

Avoid any possible speculation by using array_index_nospec() thus
ensuring the semnum value is bounded to [0, sma-&gt;sem_nsems).  With the
exception of sem_lock() all of these are slowpaths.
