commit 621b6d2ea297d0fb6030452c5bcd221f12165fcf upstream.

A use-after-free bug was caught by KASAN while running usdt related
code (BCC project. bcc/tests/python/test_usdt2.py):

commit f67b15037a7a50c57f72e69a6d59941ad90a0f0f upstream.

Annoyingly, modify_user_hw_breakpoint() unnecessarily complicates the
modification of a breakpoint - simplify it and remove the pointless
local variables.

Also update the stale Docbook while at it.

<title>bpf: skip unnecessary capability check</title>

commit 0fa4fe85f4724fff89b09741c437cbee9cf8b008 upstream.

The current check statement in BPF syscall will do a capability check
for CAP_SYS_ADMIN before checking sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled. This
code path will trigger unnecessary security hooks on capability checking
and cause false alarms on unprivileged process trying to get CAP_SYS_ADMIN
access. This can be resolved by simply switch the order of the statement
and CAP_SYS_ADMIN is not required anyway if unprivileged bpf syscall is
allowed.

for CAP_SYS_ADMIN before checking sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled. This
code path will trigger unnecessary security hooks on capability checking
and cause false alarms on unprivileged process trying to get CAP_SYS_ADMIN
access. This can be resolved by simply switch the order of the statement
and CAP_SYS_ADMIN is not required anyway if unprivileged bpf syscall is
allowed.

<title>trace/bpf: remove helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value from tracepoint type programs</title>

commit f005afede992e265bb98534b86912bb669ccd0d2 upstream.

Commit 4bebdc7a85aa ("bpf: add helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value")
added helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value so that perf_event type program
can read event counter and enabled/running time.
This commit, however, introduced a bug which allows this helper
for tracepoint type programs. This is incorrect as bpf_perf_prog_read_value
needs to access perf_event through its bpf_perf_event_data_kern type context,
which is not available for tracepoint type program.

This patch fixed the issue by separating bpf_func_proto between tracepoint
and perf_event type programs and removed bpf_perf_prog_read_value
from tracepoint func prototype.

<title>perf/core: Fix ctx_event_type in ctx_resched()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit bd903afeb504db5655a45bb4cf86f38be5b1bf62 upstream.

In ctx_resched(), EVENT_FLEXIBLE should be sched_out when EVENT_PINNED is
added. However, ctx_resched() calculates ctx_event_type before checking
this condition. As a result, pinned events will NOT get higher priority
than flexible events.

The following shows this issue on an Intel CPU (where ref-cycles can
only use one hardware counter).

  1. First start:
       perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles  -I 1000
  2. Then, in the second console, run:
       perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles:D -I 1000

The second perf uses pinned events, which is expected to have higher
priority. However, because it failed in ctx_resched(). It is never
run.

This patch fixes this by calculating ctx_event_type after re-evaluating
event_type.

<title>posix-timers: Protect posix clock array access against speculation</title>

commit 19b558db12f9f4e45a22012bae7b4783e62224da upstream.

The clockid argument of clockid_to_kclock() comes straight from user space
via various syscalls and is used as index into the posix_clocks array.

Protect it against spectre v1 array out of bounds speculation. Remove the
redundant check for !posix_clock[id] as this is another source for
speculation and does not provide any advantage over the return
posix_clock[id] path which returns NULL in that case anyway.

<title>tracing: probeevent: Fix to support minus offset from symbol</title>

commit c5d343b6b7badd1f5fe0873eff2e8d63a193e732 upstream.

In Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt, it says

 @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)

However, the parser doesn't parse minus offset correctly, since
commit 2fba0c8867af ("tracing/kprobes: Fix probe offset to be
unsigned") drops minus ("-") offset support for kprobe probe
address usage.

This fixes the traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() to parse minus
offset again with checking the offset range, and add a minus
offset check in kprobe probe address usage.

commit d1897c9538edafd4ae6bbd03cc075962ddde2c21 upstream.

A domain cgroup isn't allowed to be turned threaded if its subtree is
populated or domain controllers are enabled.  cgroup_enable_threaded()
depended on cgroup_can_be_thread_root() test to enforce this rule.  A
parent which has populated domain descendants or have domain
controllers enabled can't become a thread root, so the above rules are
enforced automatically.

However, for the root cgroup which can host mixed domain and threaded
children, cgroup_can_be_thread_root() doesn't check any of those
conditions and thus first level cgroups ends up escaping those rules.

This patch fixes the bug by adding explicit checks for those rules in
cgroup_enable_threaded().

commit c53593e5cb693d59d9e8b64fb3a79436bf99c3b3 upstream.

While adding cgroup2 interface for the cpu controller, 0d5936344f30
("sched: Implement interface for cgroup unified hierarchy") forgot to
update input validation and left it to reject cpu.max config if any
descendant has set a higher value.

cgroup2 officially supports delegation and a descendant must not be
able to restrict what its ancestors can configure.  For absolute
limits such as cpu.max and memory.max, this means that the config at
each level should only act as the upper limit at that level and
shouldn't interfere with what other cgroups can configure.

This patch updates config validation on cgroup2 so that the cpu
controller follows the same convention.
