commit a6f88ac32c6e63e69c595bfae220d8641704c9b7 upstream.

There is a deadlock scenario between lockdep and rcu when
rcu nocb feature is enabled, just as following call stack:

     rcuop/x
-000|queued_spin_lock_slowpath(lock = 0xFFFFFF817F2A8A80, val = ?)
-001|queued_spin_lock(inline) // try to hold nocb_gp_lock

-008|kthread(_create = 0xFFFFFF80803122C0)
-009|ret_from_fork(asm)

     rcuop/y
-000|queued_spin_lock_slowpath(lock = 0xFFFFFFC08291BBC8, val = 0)
-001|queued_spin_lock()
-001|lockdep_lock()

-002|validate_chain()
-003|lock_acquire

-005|lock_timer_base(inline)
-006|mod_timer(inline)
-006|wake_nocb_gp_defer(inline)// hold nocb_gp_lock

-011|kthread(_create = 0xFFFFFF8080363740)
-012|ret_from_fork(asm)

rcuop/x and rcuop/y are rcu nocb threads with the same nocb gp thread.
This patch release the graph lock before lockdep call_rcu.

<title>locking/lockdep: Avoid potential access of invalid memory in lock_class</title>

commit 61cc4534b6550997c97a03759ab46b29d44c0017 upstream.

It was found that reading /proc/lockdep after a lockdep splat may
potentially cause an access to freed memory if lockdep_unregister_key()
is called after the splat but before access to /proc/lockdep [1]. This
is due to the fact that graph_lock() call in lockdep_unregister_key()
fails after the clearing of debug_locks by the splat process.

After lockdep_unregister_key() is called, the lock_name may be freed
but the corresponding lock_class structure still have a reference to
it. That invalid memory pointer will then be accessed when /proc/lockdep
is read by a user and a use-after-free (UAF) error will be reported if
KASAN is enabled.

To fix this problem, lockdep_unregister_key() is now modified to always
search for a matching key irrespective of the debug_locks state and
zap the corresponding lock class if a matching one is found.

<title>locking/lockdep: Fix bad recursion pattern</title>

commit 10476e6304222ced7df9b3d5fb0a043b3c2a1ad8 upstream.

There were two patterns for lockdep_recursion:

Pattern-A:
	if (current-&gt;lockdep_recursion)
		return

	current-&gt;lockdep_recursion = 1;
	/* do stuff */
	current-&gt;lockdep_recursion = 0;

Pattern-B:
	current-&gt;lockdep_recursion++;
	/* do stuff */
	current-&gt;lockdep_recursion--;

But a third pattern has emerged:

Pattern-C:
	current-&gt;lockdep_recursion = 1;
	/* do stuff */
	current-&gt;lockdep_recursion = 0;

And while this isn't broken per-se, it is highly dangerous because it
doesn't nest properly.

Get rid of all Pattern-C instances and shore up Pattern-A with a
warning.

commit d33d26036a0274b472299d7dcdaa5fb34329f91b upstream.

rt_mutex_handle_deadlock() is called with rt_mutex::wait_lock held.  In the
good case it returns with the lock held and in the deadlock case it emits a
warning and goes into an endless scheduling loop with the lock held, which
triggers the 'scheduling in atomic' warning.

Unlock rt_mutex::wait_lock in the dead lock case before issuing the warning
and dropping into the schedule for ever loop.

  	massaged changelog, added Fixes tag ]

<title>locking/ww_mutex/test: Fix potential workqueue corruption</title>

[ Upstream commit bccdd808902f8c677317cec47c306e42b93b849e ]

In some cases running with the test-ww_mutex code, I was seeing
odd behavior where sometimes it seemed flush_workqueue was
returning before all the work threads were finished.

Often this would cause strange crashes as the mutexes would be
freed while they were being used.

Looking at the code, there is a lifetime problem as the
controlling thread that spawns the work allocates the
"struct stress" structures that are passed to the workqueue
threads. Then when the workqueue threads are finished,
they free the stress struct that was passed to them.

Unfortunately the workqueue work_struct node is in the stress
struct. Which means the work_struct is freed before the work
thread returns and while flush_workqueue is waiting.

It seems like a better idea to have the controlling thread
both allocate and free the stress structures, so that we can
be sure we don't corrupt the workqueue by freeing the structure
prematurely.

So this patch reworks the test to do so, and with this change
I no longer see the early flush_workqueue returns.

[ Upstream commit bccdd808902f8c677317cec47c306e42b93b849e ]

In some cases running with the test-ww_mutex code, I was seeing
odd behavior where sometimes it seemed flush_workqueue was
returning before all the work threads were finished.

Often this would cause strange crashes as the mutexes would be
freed while they were being used.

Looking at the code, there is a lifetime problem as the
controlling thread that spawns the work allocates the
"struct stress" structures that are passed to the workqueue
threads. Then when the workqueue threads are finished,
they free the stress struct that was passed to them.

Unfortunately the workqueue work_struct node is in the stress
struct. Which means the work_struct is freed before the work
thread returns and while flush_workqueue is waiting.

It seems like a better idea to have the controlling thread
both allocate and free the stress structures, so that we can
be sure we don't corrupt the workqueue by freeing the structure
prematurely.

So this patch reworks the test to do so, and with this change
I no longer see the early flush_workqueue returns.

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

[ Upstream commit 048661a1f963e9517630f080687d48af79ed784c ]

Yanfei reported that setting HANDOFF should not depend on recomputing
@first, only on @first state. Which would then give:

  if (ww_ctx || !first)
    first = __mutex_waiter_is_first(lock, &amp;waiter);
  if (first)
    __mutex_set_flag(lock, MUTEX_FLAG_HANDOFF);

But because 'ww_ctx || !first' is basically 'always' and the test for
first is relatively cheap, omit that first branch entirely.

<title>lockding/lockdep: Avoid to find wrong lock dep path in check_irq_usage()</title>

[ Upstream commit 7b1f8c6179769af6ffa055e1169610b51d71edd5 ]

In the step #3 of check_irq_usage(), we seach backwards to find a lock
whose usage conflicts the usage of @target_entry1 on safe/unsafe.
However, we should only keep the irq-unsafe usage of @target_entry1 into
consideration, because it could be a case where a lock is hardirq-unsafe
but soft-safe, and in check_irq_usage() we find it because its
hardirq-unsafe could result into a hardirq-safe-unsafe deadlock, but
currently since we don't filter out the other usage bits, so we may find
a lock dependency path softirq-unsafe -&gt; softirq-safe, which in fact
doesn't cause a deadlock. And this may cause misleading lockdep splats.

Fix this by only keeping LOCKF_ENABLED_IRQ_ALL bits when we try the
backwards search.
