[ Upstream commit b5413156bad91dc2995a5c4eab1b05e56914638a ]

When cloning a new thread, its posix_cputimers are not inherited, and
are cleared by posix_cputimers_init(). However, this does not clear the
tick dependency it creates in tsk-&gt;tick_dep_mask, and the handler does
not reach the code to clear the dependency if there were no timers to
begin with.

Thus if a thread has a cputimer running before clone/fork, all
descendants will prevent nohz_full unless they create a cputimer of
their own.

Fix this by entirely clearing the tick_dep_mask in copy_process().
(There is currently no inherited state that needs a tick dependency)

Process-wide timers do not have this problem because fork does not copy
signal_struct as a baseline, it creates one from scratch.

<title>close_range(): fix the logics in descriptor table trimming</title>

commit 678379e1d4f7443b170939525d3312cfc37bf86b upstream.

Cloning a descriptor table picks the size that would cover all currently
opened files.  That's fine for clone() and unshare(), but for close_range()
there's an additional twist - we clone before we close, and it would be
a shame to have
	close_range(3, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE)
leave us with a huge descriptor table when we are not going to keep
anything past stderr, just because some large file descriptor used to
be open before our call has taken it out.

Unfortunately, it had been dealt with in an inherently racy way -
sane_fdtable_size() gets a "don't copy anything past that" argument
(passed via unshare_fd() and dup_fd()), close_range() decides how much
should be trimmed and passes that to unshare_fd().

The problem is, a range that used to extend to the end of descriptor
table back when close_range() had looked at it might very well have stuff
grown after it by the time dup_fd() has allocated a new files_struct
and started to figure out the capacity of fdtable to be attached to that.

That leads to interesting pathological cases; at the very least it's a
QoI issue, since unshare(CLONE_FILES) is atomic in a sense that it takes
a snapshot of descriptor table one might have observed at some point.
Since CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE close_range() is supposed to be a combination
of unshare(CLONE_FILES) with plain close_range(), ending up with a
weird state that would never occur with unshare(2) is confusing, to put
it mildly.

It's not hard to get rid of - all it takes is passing both ends of the
range down to sane_fdtable_size().  There we are under -&gt;files_lock,
so the race is trivially avoided.

So we do the following:
	* switch close_files() from calling unshare_fd() to calling
dup_fd().
	* undo the calling convention change done to unshare_fd() in
60997c3d45d9 "close_range: add CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE"
	* introduce struct fd_range, pass a pointer to that to dup_fd()
and sane_fdtable_size() instead of "trim everything past that point"
they are currently getting.  NULL means "we are not going to be punching
any holes"; NR_OPEN_MAX is gone.
	* make sane_fdtable_size() use find_last_bit() instead of
open-coding it; it's easier to follow that way.
	* while we are at it, have dup_fd() report errors by returning
ERR_PTR(), no need to use a separate int *errorp argument.

This reverts commit 0c42f7e039aba3de6d7dbf92da708e2b2ecba557 which is commit
35e351780fa9d8240dd6f7e4f245f9ea37e96c19 upstream.

The backport is incomplete and causes xfstests failures. The consequences
of the incomplete backport seem worse than the original issue, so pick
the lesser evil and revert until a full backport is ready.

commit 35e351780fa9d8240dd6f7e4f245f9ea37e96c19 upstream.

Thorvald reported a WARNING [1]. And the root cause is below race:

 CPU 1					CPU 2
 fork					hugetlbfs_fallocate
  dup_mmap				 hugetlbfs_punch_hole
   i_mmap_lock_write(mapping);
   vma_interval_tree_insert_after -- Child vma is visible through i_mmap tree.
   i_mmap_unlock_write(mapping);
   hugetlb_dup_vma_private -- Clear vma_lock outside i_mmap_rwsem!
					 i_mmap_lock_write(mapping);
   					 hugetlb_vmdelete_list
					  vma_interval_tree_foreach
					   hugetlb_vma_trylock_write -- Vma_lock is cleared.
   tmp-&gt;vm_ops-&gt;open -- Alloc new vma_lock outside i_mmap_rwsem!
					   hugetlb_vma_unlock_write -- Vma_lock is assigned!!!
					 i_mmap_unlock_write(mapping);

hugetlb_dup_vma_private() and hugetlb_vm_op_open() are called outside
i_mmap_rwsem lock while vma lock can be used in the same time.  Fix this
by deferring linking file vma until vma is fully initialized.  Those vmas
should be initialized first before they can be used.

<title>kernel/fork: beware of __put_task_struct() calling context</title>

[ Upstream commit d243b34459cea30cfe5f3a9b2feb44e7daff9938 ]

Under PREEMPT_RT, __put_task_struct() indirectly acquires sleeping
locks. Therefore, it can't be called from an non-preemptible context.

One practical example is splat inside inactive_task_timer(), which is
called in a interrupt context:

  CPU: 1 PID: 2848 Comm: life Kdump: loaded Tainted: G W ---------
   Hardware name: HP ProLiant DL388p Gen8, BIOS P70 07/15/2012
   Call Trace:
   dump_stack_lvl+0x57/0x7d
   mark_lock_irq.cold+0x33/0xba
   mark_lock+0x1e7/0x400
   mark_usage+0x11d/0x140

   asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x12/0x20
   RIP: 0033:0x7fff196bf6f5

Instead of calling __put_task_struct() directly, we defer it using
call_rcu(). A more natural approach would use a workqueue, but since
in PREEMPT_RT, we can't allocate dynamic memory from atomic context,
the code would become more complex because we would need to put the
work_struct instance in the task_struct and initialize it when we
allocate a new task_struct.

The issue is reproducible with stress-ng:

  while true; do
      stress-ng --sched deadline --sched-period 1000000000 \
	      --sched-runtime 800000000 --sched-deadline \
	      1000000000 --mmapfork 23 -t 20

commit af80602799681c78f14fbe20b6185a56020dedee upstream.

In order to allow using mm_alloc() much earlier, move initializing
mm_cachep into mm_init().

commit 3f4c8211d982099be693be9aa7d6fc4607dff290 upstream.

Instead of duplicating init_mm, allocate a fresh mm. The advantage is
that mm_alloc() has much simpler dependencies. Additionally it makes
more conceptual sense, init_mm has no (and must not have) user state
to duplicate.

[ Upstream commit b0fd1852bcc21accca6260ef245356d5c141ff66 ]

When task local storage was generalized for tracing programs, the
bpf_task_local_storage callback was moved from a BPF LSM hook
callback for security_task_free LSM hook to it's own callback. But a
failure case in bad_fork_cleanup_security was missed which, when
triggered, led to a dangling task owner pointer and a subsequent
use-after-free. Move the bpf_task_storage_free to the very end of
free_task to handle all failure cases.

This issue was noticed when a BPF LSM program was attached to the
task_alloc hook on a kernel with KASAN enabled. The program used
bpf_task_storage_get to copy the task local storage from the current
task to the new task being created.

<title>mm: enable maple tree RCU mode by default.</title>

commit 3dd4432549415f3c65dd52d5c687629efbf4ece1 upstream.

Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking.

The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot
(lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write
to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock.  This is safe as the
writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be
a NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot.

It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down
without guard VMAs.  syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a
VMA to grow and consume the empty space.  Overwriting the entire NULL
entry causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for
concurrent readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one
that does not match the maple state they are using.

Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and
will return the expected result.

<title>fork: allow CLONE_NEWTIME in clone3 flags</title>

commit a402f1e35313fc7ce2ca60f543c4402c2c7c3544 upstream.

Currently, calling clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME in clone_args-&gt;flags
fails with -EINVAL. This is because CLONE_NEWTIME intersects with
CSIGNAL. However, CSIGNAL was deprecated when clone3 was introduced in
commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3"), allowing re-use of that part
of clone flags.

Fix this by explicitly allowing CLONE_NEWTIME in clone3_args_valid. This
is also in line with the respective check in check_unshare_flags which
allow CLONE_NEWTIME for unshare().
