[ Upstream commit 38dc717e97153e46375ee21797aa54777e5498f3 ]

Apparently there has been a longstanding race between udev/systemd and
the module loader. Currently, the module loader sends a uevent right
after sysfs initialization, but before the module calls its init
function. However, some udev rules expect that the module has
initialized already upon receiving the uevent.

This race has been triggered recently (see link in references) in some
systemd mount unit files. For instance, the configfs module creates the
/sys/kernel/config mount point in its init function, however the module
loader issues the uevent before this happens. sys-kernel-config.mount
expects to be able to mount /sys/kernel/config upon receipt of the
module loading uevent, but if the configfs module has not called its
init function yet, then this directory will not exist and the mount unit
fails. A similar situation exists for sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount, as
the fuse sysfs mount point is created during the fuse module's init
function. If udev is faster than module initialization then the mount
unit would fail in a similar fashion.

To fix this race, delay the module KOBJ_ADD uevent until after the
module has finished calling its init routine.

If a module fails to load due to an error in prepare_coming_module(),
the following error handling in load_module() runs with
MODULE_STATE_COMING in module's state. Fix it by correctly setting
MODULE_STATE_GOING under "bug_cleanup" label.

[ Upstream commit fdf09ab887829cd1b671e45d9549f8ec1ffda0fa ]

Corentin hit the following workqueue warning when running with
CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS:

  WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 147 at kernel/workqueue.c:1473 __queue_work+0x3b8/0x3d0

I wasn't able to reproduce on x86 or rpi 3b+.

This is

  WARN_ON(!list_empty(&amp;work-&gt;entry))

from __queue_work(), and it happens because the init_free_wq work item
isn't initialized in time for a crypto test that requests the gcm
module.  Some crypto tests were recently moved earlier in boot as
explained in commit c4741b230597 ("crypto: run initcalls for generic
implementations earlier"), which went into mainline less than two weeks
before the Fixes commit.

Avoid the warning by statically initializing init_free_wq and the
corresponding llist.

[ 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.

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.

[ Upstream commit 708e0ada1916be765b7faa58854062f2bc620bbf ]

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.

Fixes: 5fdc7db6448a ("module: setup load info before module_sig_check()")
