commit 0cb2f1372baa60af8456388a574af6133edd7d80 upstream.

We found a case of kernel panic on our server. The stack trace is as
follows(omit some irrelevant information):

   tcpa_statistic_send+0x5/0x130 [ttcp_engine]

The tcpa_statistic_send is the function being kprobed. After analysis,
the root cause is that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. Why regs is NULL? We use the crash tool to analyze the kdump.

  crash&gt; dis tcpa_statistic_send -r
         &lt;tcpa_statistic_send&gt;: callq 0xffffffffbd8018c0 &lt;ftrace_caller&gt;

The tcpa_statistic_send calls ftrace_caller instead of ftrace_regs_caller.
So it is reasonable that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. In theory, we should call the ftrace_regs_caller instead of the
ftrace_caller. After in-depth analysis, we found a reproducible path.

  Writing a simple kernel module which starts a periodic timer. The
  timer's handler is named 'kprobe_test_timer_handler'. The module
  name is kprobe_test.ko.

  1) insmod kprobe_test.ko
  2) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'
  3) echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
  4) rmmod kprobe_test
  5) stop step 2) kprobe
  6) insmod kprobe_test.ko
  7) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'

We mark the kprobe as GONE but not disarm the kprobe in the step 4).
The step 5) also do not disarm the kprobe when unregister kprobe. So
we do not remove the ip from the filter. In this case, when the module
loads again in the step 6), we will replace the code to ftrace_caller
via the ftrace_module_enable(). When we register kprobe again, we will
not replace ftrace_caller to ftrace_regs_caller because the ftrace is
disabled in the step 3). So the step 7) will trigger kernel panic. Fix
this problem by disarming the kprobe when the module is going away.

commit 60f7bb66b88b649433bf700acfc60c3f24953871 upstream.

The kprobe show() functions were using "current"'s creds instead
of the file opener's creds for kallsyms visibility. Fix to use
seq_file-&gt;file-&gt;f_cred.

<title>kallsyms: Refactor kallsyms_show_value() to take cred</title>

commit 160251842cd35a75edfb0a1d76afa3eb674ff40a upstream.

In order to perform future tests against the cred saved during open(),
switch kallsyms_show_value() to operate on a cred, and have all current
callers pass current_cred(). This makes it very obvious where callers
are checking the wrong credential in their "read" contexts. These will
be fixed in the coming patches.

Additionally switch return value to bool, since it is always used as a
direct permission check, not a 0-on-success, negative-on-error style
function return.

<title>kprobes: Suppress the suspicious RCU warning on kprobes</title>

[ Upstream commit 6743ad432ec92e680cd0d9db86cb17b949cf5a43 ]

Anders reported that the lockdep warns that suspicious
RCU list usage in register_kprobe() (detected by
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST.) This is because get_kprobe()
access kprobe_table[] by hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()
without rcu_read_lock.

If we call get_kprobe() from the breakpoint handler context,
it is run with preempt disabled, so this is not a problem.
But in other cases, instead of rcu_read_lock(), we locks
kprobe_mutex so that the kprobe_table[] is not updated.
So, current code is safe, but still not good from the view
point of RCU.

Joel suggested that we can silent that warning by passing
lockdep_is_held() to the last argument of
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu().

Add lockdep_is_held(&amp;kprobe_mutex) at the end of the
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() to suppress the warning.

commit 9b38cc704e844e41d9cf74e647bff1d249512cb3 upstream.

Ziqian reported lockup when adding retprobe on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.
My test was also able to trigger lockdep output:

 ============================================

The code within the kretprobe handler checks for probe reentrancy,
so we won't trigger any _raw_spin_lock_irqsave probe in there.

The problem is in outside kprobe_flush_task, where we call:

  kprobe_flush_task
    kretprobe_table_lock
      raw_spin_lock_irqsave
        _raw_spin_lock_irqsave

where _raw_spin_lock_irqsave triggers the kretprobe and installs
kretprobe_trampoline handler on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave return.

The kretprobe_trampoline handler is then executed with already
locked kretprobe_table_locks, and first thing it does is to
lock kretprobe_table_locks ;-) the whole lockup path like:

  kprobe_flush_task
    kretprobe_table_lock
      raw_spin_lock_irqsave
        _raw_spin_lock_irqsave ---&gt; probe triggered, kretprobe_trampoline installed

        ---&gt; kretprobe_table_locks locked

        kretprobe_trampoline
          trampoline_handler
            kretprobe_hash_lock(current, &amp;head, &amp;flags);  &lt;--- deadlock

Adding kprobe_busy_begin/end helpers that mark code with fake
probe installed to prevent triggering of another kprobe within
this code.

Using these helpers in kprobe_flush_task, so the probe recursion
protection check is hit and the probe is never set to prevent
above lockup.

commit 9b38cc704e844e41d9cf74e647bff1d249512cb3 upstream.

Ziqian reported lockup when adding retprobe on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.
My test was also able to trigger lockdep output:

 ============================================

The code within the kretprobe handler checks for probe reentrancy,
so we won't trigger any _raw_spin_lock_irqsave probe in there.

The problem is in outside kprobe_flush_task, where we call:

  kprobe_flush_task
    kretprobe_table_lock
      raw_spin_lock_irqsave
        _raw_spin_lock_irqsave

where _raw_spin_lock_irqsave triggers the kretprobe and installs
kretprobe_trampoline handler on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave return.

The kretprobe_trampoline handler is then executed with already
locked kretprobe_table_locks, and first thing it does is to
lock kretprobe_table_locks ;-) the whole lockup path like:

  kprobe_flush_task
    kretprobe_table_lock
      raw_spin_lock_irqsave
        _raw_spin_lock_irqsave ---&gt; probe triggered, kretprobe_trampoline installed

        ---&gt; kretprobe_table_locks locked

        kretprobe_trampoline
          trampoline_handler
            kretprobe_hash_lock(current, &amp;head, &amp;flags);  &lt;--- deadlock

Adding kprobe_busy_begin/end helpers that mark code with fake
probe installed to prevent triggering of another kprobe within
this code.

Using these helpers in kprobe_flush_task, so the probe recursion
protection check is hit and the probe is never set to prevent
above lockup.

commit 1a0aa991a6274161c95a844c58cfb801d681eb59 upstream.

In kprobe_optimizer() kick_kprobe_optimizer() is called
without kprobe_mutex, but this can race with other caller
which is protected by kprobe_mutex.

To fix that, expand kprobe_mutex protected area to protect
kick_kprobe_optimizer() call.

[ Upstream commit e4add247789e4ba5e08ad8256183ce2e211877d4 ]

optimize_kprobe() and unoptimize_kprobe() cancels if a given kprobe
is on the optimizing_list or unoptimizing_list already. However, since
the following commit:

  f66c0447cca1 ("kprobes: Set unoptimized flag after unoptimizing code")

modified the update timing of the KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED, it doesn't
work as expected anymore.

The optimized_kprobe could be in the following states:

- [optimizing]: Before inserting jump instruction
  op.kp-&gt;flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op-&gt;list is not empty.

- [optimized]: jump inserted
  op.kp-&gt;flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op-&gt;list is empty.

- [unoptimizing]: Before removing jump instruction (including unused
  optprobe)
  op.kp-&gt;flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op-&gt;list is not empty.

- [unoptimized]: jump removed
  op.kp-&gt;flags doesn't have KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op-&gt;list is empty.

Current code mis-expects [unoptimizing] state doesn't have
KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED, and that can cause incorrect results.

To fix this, introduce optprobe_queued_unopt() to distinguish [optimizing]
and [unoptimizing] states and fixes the logic in optimize_kprobe() and
unoptimize_kprobe().

[ mingo: Cleaned up the changelog and the code a bit. ]

commit f66c0447cca1281116224d474cdb37d6a18e4b5b upstream.

Set the unoptimized flag after confirming the code is completely
unoptimized. Without this fix, when a kprobe hits the intermediate
modified instruction (the first byte is replaced by an INT3, but
later bytes can still be a jump address operand) while unoptimizing,
it can return to the middle byte of the modified code, which causes
an invalid instruction exception in the kernel.

Usually, this is a rare case, but if we put a probe on the function
call while text patching, it always causes a kernel panic as below:

 # echo p text_poke+5 &gt; kprobe_events
 # echo 1 &gt; events/kprobes/enable
 # echo 0 &gt; events/kprobes/enable

invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
 RIP: 0010:text_poke+0x9/0x50
 Call Trace:
  arch_unoptimize_kprobe+0x22/0x28

text_poke() is used for patching the code in optprobes.

This can happen even if we blacklist text_poke() and other functions,
because there is a small time window during which we show the intermediate
code to other CPUs.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
   Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
   Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.

   As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
   document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
   and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
   linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)

 - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
   closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
   into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
   introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
   to go though.

 - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
   allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.

 - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).

 - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
   applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.

 - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.

 - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.

 - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
   rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
   being offlined.

 - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
   setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
   Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
   the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
   before.

 - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
   optimal.

 - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.

 - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.

 - ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
   the Git log for more details.

* 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (53 commits)

  cpufreq: schedutil: fix equation in comment
  sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path
  sched: Allow put_prev_task() to drop rq-&gt;lock
  sched/fair: Expose newidle_balance()
