commit 013b2deba9a6b80ca02f4fafd7dedf875e9b4450 upstream.

uprobe_write_opcode() must not cross page boundary; prepare_uprobe()
relies on arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() which should validate "vaddr" but
some architectures (csky, s390, and sparc) don't do this.

We can remove the BUG_ON() check in prepare_uprobe() and validate the
offset early in __uprobe_register(). The new IS_ALIGNED() check matches
the alignment check in arch_prepare_kprobe() on supported architectures,
so I think that all insns must be aligned to UPROBE_SWBP_INSN_SIZE.

Another problem is __update_ref_ctr() which was wrong from the very
beginning, it can read/write outside of kmap'ed page unless "vaddr" is
aligned to sizeof(short), __uprobe_register() should check this too.

commit 003461559ef7a9bd0239bae35a22ad8924d6e9ad upstream.

Decreasing sysctl_perf_event_mlock between two consecutive perf_mmap()s of
a perf ring buffer may lead to an integer underflow in locked memory
accounting. This may lead to the undesired behaviors, such as failures in
BPF map creation.

Address this by adjusting the accounting logic to take into account the
possibility that the amount of already locked memory may exceed the
current limit.

<title>signal: Properly deliver SIGILL from uprobes</title>

[ Upstream commit 55a3235fc71bf34303e34a95eeee235b2d2a35dd ]

For userspace to tell the difference between a random signal and an
exception, the exception must include siginfo information.

Using SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGILL is thus wrong, and it will result
in userspace seeing si_code == SI_USER (like a random signal) instead
of si_code == SI_KERNEL or a more specific si_code as all exceptions
deliver.

Therefore replace force_sig_info(SIGILL, SEND_SIG_FORCE, current)
with force_sig(SIG_ILL, current) which gets this right and is
shorter and easier to type.

Some hardware PMU drivers will override perf_event.cpu inside their
event_init callback. This causes a lockdep splat when initialized through
the kernel API:

perf_sample_regs_user() uses 'current-&gt;mm' to test for the presence of
userspace, but this is insufficient, consider use_mm().

A better test is: '!(current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD)', exec() clears
PF_KTHREAD after it sets the new -&gt;mm but before it drops to userspace
for the first time.

[ Upstream commit 3f9fbe9bd86c534eba2faf5d840fd44c6049f50e ]

Similar to how decrementing rb-&gt;next too early can cause data_head to
(temporarily) be observed to go backward, so too can this happen when
we increment too late.

This barrier() ensures the rb-&gt;head load happens after the increment,
both the one in the 'goto again' path, as the one from
perf_output_get_handle() -- albeit very unlikely to matter for the
latter.

[ Upstream commit 1b038c6e05ff70a1e66e3e571c2e6106bdb75f53 ]

In perf_output_put_handle(), an IRQ/NMI can happen in below location and
write records to the same ring buffer:

	...
	local_dec_and_test(&amp;rb-&gt;nest)
	...                          &lt;-- an IRQ/NMI can happen here
	rb-&gt;user_page-&gt;data_head = head;
	...

In this case, a value A is written to data_head in the IRQ, then a value
B is written to data_head after the IRQ. And A &gt; B. As a result,
data_head is temporarily decreased from A to B. And a reader may see
data_head &lt; data_tail if it read the buffer frequently enough, which
creates unexpected behaviors.

This can be fixed by moving dec(&amp;rb-&gt;nest) to after updating data_head,
which prevents the IRQ/NMI above from updating data_head.

<title>perf/core: Restore mmap record type correctly</title>

[ Upstream commit d9c1bb2f6a2157b38e8eb63af437cb22701d31ee ]

On mmap(), perf_events generates a RECORD_MMAP record and then checks
which events are interested in this record. There are currently 2
versions of mmap records: RECORD_MMAP and RECORD_MMAP2. MMAP2 is larger.
The event configuration controls which version the user level tool
accepts.

If the event-&gt;attr.mmap2=1 field then MMAP2 record is returned.  The
perf_event_mmap_output() takes care of this. It checks attr-&gt;mmap2 and
corrects the record fields before putting it in the sampling buffer of
the event.  At the end the function restores the modified MMAP record
fields.

The problem is that the function restores the size but not the type.
Thus, if a subsequent event only accepts MMAP type, then it would
instead receive an MMAP2 record with a size of MMAP record.

This patch fixes the problem by restoring the record type on exit.

[ Upstream commit dcb10a967ce82d5ad20570693091139ae716ff76 ]

When ring buffer's AUX area is unmapped and rb-&gt;aux_mmap_count drops to
zero, new AUX transactions into this buffer can still be started,
even though the buffer in en route to deallocation.

This patch adds a check to perf_aux_output_begin() for rb-&gt;aux_mmap_count
being zero, in which case there is no point starting new transactions,
in other words, the ring buffers that pass a certain point in
perf_mmap_close will not have their events sending new data, which
clears path for freeing those buffers' pages right there and then,
provided that no active transactions are holding the AUX reference.
