[ Upstream commit af74262337faa65d5ac2944553437d3f5fb29123 ]

When pulling in Divya Indi's patch, I made a minor fix to remove unneeded
braces. I commited my fix up via "git commit -a --amend". Unfortunately, I
didn't realize I had some changes I was testing in the module code, and
those changes were applied to Divya's patch as well.

This reverts the accidental updates to the module code.

commit 11990a5bd7e558e9203c1070fc52fb6f0488e75b upstream.

The only-root-readable /sys/module/$module/sections/$section files
did not truncate their output to the available buffer size. While most
paths into the kernfs read handlers end up using PAGE_SIZE buffers,
it's possible to get there through other paths (e.g. splice, sendfile).
Actually limit the output to the "count" passed into the read function,
and report it back correctly. *sigh*

commit b25a7c5af9051850d4f3d93ca500056ab6ec724b upstream.

The printing of section addresses in /sys/module/*/sections/* was not
using the correct credentials to evaluate visibility.

Before:

 # cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text
 0xffffffffc0458000
 ...
 # capsh --drop=CAP_SYSLOG -- -c "cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text"
 0xffffffffc0458000
 ...

After:

 # cat /sys/module/*/sections/*.text
 0xffffffffc0458000
 ...
 # capsh --drop=CAP_SYSLOG -- -c "cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text"
 0x0000000000000000
 ...

Additionally replaces the existing (safe) /proc/modules check with
file-&gt;f_cred for consistency.

commit ed66f991bb19d94cae5d38f77de81f96aac7813f upstream.

In order to gain access to the open file's f_cred for kallsym visibility
permission checks, refactor the module section attributes to use the
bin_attribute instead of attribute interface. Additionally removes the
redundant "name" struct member.

<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.

In setup_load_info(), info-&gt;name (which contains the name of the module,
mostly used for early logging purposes before the module gets set up)
gets unconditionally assigned if .modinfo is missing despite the fact
that there is an if (!info-&gt;name) check near the end of the function.
Avoid assigning a placeholder string to info-&gt;name if .modinfo doesn't
exist, so that we can fall back to info-&gt;mod-&gt;name later on.

[ Upstream commit f6d061d617124abbd55396a3bc37b9bf7d33233c ]

In module_add_modinfo_attrs() if sysfs_create_file() fails
on the first iteration of the loop (so i = 0), we forget to
free the modinfo_attrs.

commit 5d603311615f612320bb77bd2a82553ef1ced5b7 upstream.

Fix the race between load and unload a kernel module.

sys_delete_module()
 try_stop_module()
  mod-&gt;state = _GOING
					add_unformed_module()
					 old = find_module_all()
					 (old-&gt;state == _GOING =&gt;
					  wait_event_interruptible())

					 During pre-condition
					 finished_loading() rets 0
					 schedule()
					 (never gets waken up later)
 free_module()
  mod-&gt;state = _UNFORMED
   list_del_rcu(&amp;mod-&gt;list)
   (dels mod from "modules" list)

return

The race above leads to modprobe hanging forever on loading
a module.

Error paths on loading module call wake_up_all(&amp;module_wq) after
freeing module, so let's do the same on straight module unload.

Fixes: 6e6de3dee51a ("kernel/module.c: Only return -EEXIST for modules that have finished loading")
