commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream.

We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.

For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions &lt; 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size.  And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).

And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.

At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.

So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".

Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would.  In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.

That's currently not the world we live in, though.

<title>tracing: Add a vmalloc_sync_mappings() for safe measure</title>

commit 11f5efc3ab66284f7aaacc926e9351d658e2577b upstream.

x86_64 lazily maps in the vmalloc pages, and the way this works with per_cpu
areas can be complex, to say the least. Mappings may happen at boot up, and
if nothing synchronizes the page tables, those page mappings may not be
synced till they are used. This causes issues for anything that might touch
one of those mappings in the path of the page fault handler. When one of
those unmapped mappings is touched in the page fault handler, it will cause
another page fault, which in turn will cause a page fault, and leave us in
a loop of page faults.

Commit 763802b53a42 ("x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()") split
vmalloc_sync_all() into vmalloc_sync_unmappings() and
vmalloc_sync_mappings(), as on system exit, it did not need to do a full
sync on x86_64 (although it still needed to be done on x86_32). By chance,
the vmalloc_sync_all() would synchronize the page mappings done at boot up
and prevent the per cpu area from being a problem for tracing in the page
fault handler. But when that synchronization in the exit of a task became a
nop, it caused the problem to appear.

<title>tracing: Fix the race between registering 'snapshot' event trigger and triggering 'snapshot' operation</title>

commit 0bbe7f719985efd9adb3454679ecef0984cb6800 upstream.

Traced event can trigger 'snapshot' operation(i.e. calls snapshot_trigger()
or snapshot_count_trigger()) when register_snapshot_trigger() has completed
registration but doesn't allocate buffer for 'snapshot' event trigger.  In
the rare case, 'snapshot' operation always detects the lack of allocated
buffer so make register_snapshot_trigger() allocate buffer first.

trigger-snapshot.tc in kselftest reproduces the issue on slow vm:

commit 6a13a0d7b4d1171ef9b80ad69abc37e1daa941b3 upstream.

Show maxactive parameter on kprobe_events.
This allows user to save the current configuration and
restore it without losing maxactive parameter.

[ Upstream commit 1bc7896e9ef44fd77858b3ef0b8a6840be3a4494 ]

When experimenting with bpf_send_signal() helper in our production
environment (5.2 based), we experienced a deadlock in NMI mode:

The above call stack is actually very similar to an issue
reported by Commit eac9153f2b58 ("bpf/stackmap: Fix deadlock with
rq_lock in bpf_get_stack()") by Song Liu. The only difference is
bpf_send_signal() helper instead of bpf_get_stack() helper.

The above deadlock is triggered with a perf_sw_event.
Similar to Commit eac9153f2b58, the below almost identical reproducer
used tracepoint point sched/sched_switch so the issue can be easily caught.

Similar to Song's fix, the fix is to delay sending signal if
irqs is disabled to avoid deadlocks involving with rq_lock.
With this change, my above stress-test in our production system
won't cause deadlock any more.

I also implemented a scale-down version of reproducer in the
selftest (a subsequent commit). With latest bpf-next,
it complains for the following potential deadlock.

  [   32.857999]   lock(&amp;(&amp;sighand-&gt;siglock)-&gt;rlock);

  Deadlock happens on CPU0 when it tries to acquire &amp;sighand-&gt;siglock
  but it has been held by CPU1 and CPU1 tries to grab &amp;rq-&gt;lock
  and cannot get it.

  This is not exactly the callstack in our production environment,
  but sympotom is similar and both locks are using spin_lock_irqsave()
  to acquire the lock, and both involves rq_lock. The fix to delay
  sending signal when irq is disabled also fixed this issue.

  [   32.854451]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

  [   32.857999]   lock(&amp;(&amp;sighand-&gt;siglock)-&gt;rlock);

  Deadlock happens on CPU0 when it tries to acquire &amp;sighand-&gt;siglock
  but it has been held by CPU1 and CPU1 tries to grab &amp;rq-&gt;lock
  and cannot get it.

  This is not exactly the callstack in our production environment,
  but sympotom is similar and both locks are using spin_lock_irqsave()
  to acquire the lock, and both involves rq_lock. The fix to delay
  sending signal when irq is disabled also fixed this issue.

[ Upstream commit 784bd0847eda032ed2f3522f87250655a18c0190 ]

Fix a varargs-related bug in print_synth_event() which resulted in
strange output and oopses on 32-bit x86 systems. The problem is that
trace_seq_printf() expects the varargs to match the format string, but
print_synth_event() was always passing u64 values regardless.  This
results in unspecified behavior when unpacking with va_arg() in
trace_seq_printf().

Add a function that takes the size into account when calling
trace_seq_printf().

Before:

  modprobe-1731  [003] ....   919.039758: gen_synth_test: next_pid_field=777(null)next_comm_field=hula hoops ts_ns=1000000 ts_ms=1000 cpu=3(null)my_string_field=thneed my_int_field=598(null)

<title>blktrace: fix dereference after null check</title>

[ Upstream commit 153031a301bb07194e9c37466cfce8eacb977621 ]

There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to
`q-&gt;blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access.

However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of
`bt` pointer even when it's NULL:

Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID
1460458.

```
/kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store()
1898            ret = 0;
1899            if (bt == NULL)
1900                    ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev);
1901
1902            if (ret == 0) {
1903                    if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_act_mask)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     CID 1460458:  Null pointer dereferences  (FORWARD_NULL)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     Dereferencing null pointer "bt".
1904                            bt-&gt;act_mask = value;
1905                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_pid)
1906                            bt-&gt;pid = value;
1907                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_start_lba)
1908                            bt-&gt;start_lba = value;
1909                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_end_lba)
```

Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.

[ Upstream commit c780e86dd48ef6467a1146cf7d0fe1e05a635039 ]

KASAN is reporting that __blk_add_trace() has a use-after-free issue
when accessing q-&gt;blk_trace. Indeed the switching of block tracing (and
thus eventual freeing of q-&gt;blk_trace) is completely unsynchronized with
the currently running tracing and thus it can happen that the blk_trace
structure is being freed just while __blk_add_trace() works on it.
Protect accesses to q-&gt;blk_trace by RCU during tracing and make sure we
wait for the end of RCU grace period when shutting down tracing. Luckily
that is rare enough event that we can afford that. Note that postponing
the freeing of blk_trace to an RCU callback should better be avoided as
it could have unexpected user visible side-effects as debugfs files
would be still existing for a short while block tracing has been shut
down.
