commit 746a923b863a1065ef77324e1e43f19b1a3eab5c upstream.

Commit 1e77d0a1ed74 ("genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of
threaded irqs") made detection of spurious interrupts work for threaded
handlers by:

a) incrementing a counter every time the thread returns IRQ_HANDLED, and
b) checking whether that counter has increased every time the thread is
   woken.

However for oneshot interrupts, the commit unmasks the interrupt before
incrementing the counter.  If another interrupt occurs right after
unmasking but before the counter is incremented, that interrupt is
incorrectly considered spurious:

time
 |  irq_thread()
 |    irq_thread_fn()
 |      action-&gt;thread_fn()
 |      irq_finalize_oneshot()
 |        unmask_threaded_irq()            /* interrupt is unmasked */
 |
 |                  /* interrupt fires, incorrectly deemed spurious */
 |
 |    atomic_inc(&amp;desc-&gt;threads_handled); /* counter is incremented */
 v

This is observed with a hi3110 CAN controller receiving data at high volume
(from a separate machine sending with "cangen -g 0 -i -x"): The controller
signals a huge number of interrupts (hundreds of millions per day) and
every second there are about a dozen which are deemed spurious.

In theory with high CPU load and the presence of higher priority tasks, the
number of incorrectly detected spurious interrupts might increase beyond
the 99,900 threshold and cause disablement of the interrupt.

In practice it just increments the spurious interrupt count. But that can
cause people to waste time investigating it over and over.

Fix it by moving the accounting before the invocation of
irq_finalize_oneshot().

<title>genirq: Make sparse_irq_lock protect what it should protect</title>

commit 12ac1d0f6c3e95732d144ffa65c8b20fbd9aa462 upstream.

for_each_active_irq() iterates the sparse irq allocation bitmap. The caller
must hold sparse_irq_lock. Several code pathes expect that an active bit in
the sparse bitmap also has a valid interrupt descriptor.

Unfortunately that's not true. The (de)allocation is a two step process,
which holds the sparse_irq_lock only across the queue/remove from the radix
tree and the set/clear in the allocation bitmap.

If a iteration locks sparse_irq_lock between the two steps, then it might
see an active bit but the corresponding irq descriptor is NULL. If that is
dereferenced unconditionally, then the kernel oopses. Of course, all
iterator sites could be audited and fixed, but....

There is no reason why the sparse_irq_lock needs to be dropped between the
two steps, in fact the code becomes simpler when the mutex is held across
both and the semantics become more straight forward, so future problems of
missing NULL pointer checks in the iteration are avoided and all existing
sites are fixed in one go.

Expand the lock held sections so both operations are covered and the bitmap
and the radixtree are in sync.

commit ee26c013cdee0b947e29d6cadfb9ff3341c69ff9 upstream.

Without this patch irq_domain_disassociate() cannot properly release the
interrupt. In fact, irq_map_generic_chip() checks a bit on 'gc-&gt;installed'
but said bit is never cleared, only set.

Commit 088f40b7b027 ("genirq: Generic chip: Add linear irq domain support")
added irq_map_generic_chip() function and also stated "This lacks a removal
function for now".

This commit provides an implementation of an unmap function that can be
called by irq_domain_disassociate().

[ tglx: Made the function static and removed the export as we have neither
  	a prototype nor a modular user. ]

<title>genirq: Prevent chip buslock deadlock</title>

commit abc7e40c81d113ef4bacb556f0a77ca63ac81d85 upstream.

If a interrupt chip utilizes chip-&gt;buslock then free_irq() can
deadlock in the following way:

CPU0				CPU1
				interrupt(X) (Shared or spurious)
free_irq(X)			interrupt_thread(X)
chip_bus_lock(X)
				   irq_finalize_oneshot(X)
				     chip_bus_lock(X)
synchronize_irq(X)

synchronize_irq() waits for the interrupt thread to complete,
i.e. forever.

Solution is simple: Drop chip_bus_lock() before calling
synchronize_irq() as we do with the irq_desc lock. There is nothing to
be protected after the point where irq_desc lock has been released.

This adds chip_bus_lock/unlock() to the remove_irq() code path, but
that's actually correct in the case where remove_irq() is called on
such an interrupt. The current users of remove_irq() are not affected
as none of those interrupts is on a chip which requires buslock.

commit 95c2b17534654829db428f11bcf4297c059a2a7e upstream.

Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first
added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created.  In the case of
a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory.  This
race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to
hit with async probing.

commit 75a06189fc508a2acf470b0b12710362ffb2c4b1 upstream.

The resend mechanism happily calls the interrupt handler of interrupts
which are marked IRQ_NESTED_THREAD from softirq context. This can
result in crashes because the interrupt handler is not the proper way
to invoke the device handlers. They must be invoked via
handle_nested_irq.

Prevent the resend even if the interrupt has no valid parent irq
set. Its better to have a lost interrupt than a crashing machine.

commit 63781394c540dd9e666a6b21d70b64dd52bce76e upstream.

request_any_context_irq() returns a negative value on failure.
It returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED on success.
So fix testing return value of request_any_context_irq().

Also fixup the return value of devm_request_any_context_irq() to make it
consistent with request_any_context_irq().

commit 63781394c540dd9e666a6b21d70b64dd52bce76e upstream.

request_any_context_irq() returns a negative value on failure.
It returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED on success.
So fix testing return value of request_any_context_irq().

Also fixup the return value of devm_request_any_context_irq() to make it
consistent with request_any_context_irq().

Fixes: 0668d3065128 ("genirq: Add devm_request_any_context_irq()")

<title>genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptors</title>

commit c291ee622165cb2c8d4e7af63fffd499354a23be upstream.

Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the
unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc
interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt
descriptor.

CPU0				CPU1
				show_interrupts()
				  desc = irq_to_desc(X);
free_desc(desc)
  remove_from_radix_tree();
  kfree(desc);
				  raw_spinlock_irq(&amp;desc-&gt;lock);

/proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt
kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed
memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible.

The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the
removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent
readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed.

For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue
as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq
descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see
the old correct value or the cleared out ones.

Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in
show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock.

Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access
with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it.

Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the
caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these
interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already
protected against removal.

<title>genirq: Fix memory leak when calling irq_free_hwirqs()</title>

irq_free_hwirqs() always calls irq_free_descs() with a cnt == 0
which makes it a no-op since the interrupt count to free is
decremented in itself.
