commit e09e28671cda63e6308b31798b997639120e2a21 upstream.

Strcpy is inherently not safe, and strlcpy() should be used instead.
__trace_find_cmdline() uses strcpy() because the comms saved must have a
terminating nul character, but it doesn't hurt to add the extra protection
of using strlcpy() instead of strcpy().

<title>vfs: Commit to never having exectuables on proc and sysfs.</title>

commit 22f6b4d34fcf039c63a94e7670e0da24f8575a5a upstream.

Today proc and sysfs do not contain any executable files.  Several
applications today mount proc or sysfs without noexec and nosuid and
then depend on there being no exectuables files on proc or sysfs.
Having any executable files show on proc or sysfs would cause
a user space visible regression, and most likely security problems.

Therefore commit to never allowing executables on proc and sysfs by
adding a new flag to mark them as filesystems without executables and
enforce that flag.

Test the flag where MNT_NOEXEC is tested today, so that the only user
visible effect will be that exectuables will be treated as if the
execute bit is cleared.

The filesystems proc and sysfs do not currently incoporate any
executable files so this does not result in any user visible effects.

This makes it unnecessary to vet changes to proc and sysfs tightly for
adding exectuable files or changes to chattr that would modify
existing files, as no matter what the individual file say they will
not be treated as exectuable files by the vfs.

Not having to vet changes to closely is important as without this we
are only one proc_create call (or another goof up in the
implementation of notify_change) from having problematic executables
on proc.  Those mistakes are all too easy to make and would create
a situation where there are security issues or the assumptions of
some program having to be broken (and cause userspace regressions).

<title>sched/cputime: Fix invalid gtime in proc</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2541117b0cf79977fa11a0d6e17d61010677bd7b upstream.

/proc/stats shows invalid gtime when the thread is running in guest.
When vtime accounting is not enabled, we cannot get a valid delta.
The delta is calculated with now - tsk-&gt;vtime_snap, but tsk-&gt;vtime_snap
is only updated when vtime accounting is runtime enabled.

This patch makes task_gtime() just return gtime without computing the
buggy non-existing tickless delta when vtime accounting is not enabled.

Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if vtime is accounting on
some cpu, in which case only we need to check the tickless delta. This
way we fix the gtime value regression on machines not running nohz full.

The kernel config contains CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=y and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=n and boot without nohz_full.

I ran and stop a busy loop in VM and see the gtime in host.
Dump the 43rd field which shows the gtime in every second:

	 # while :; do awk '{print $3" "$43}' /proc/3955/task/4014/stat; sleep 1; done
	S 4348
	R 7064566
	R 7064766
	R 7064967
	R 7065168
	S 4759
	S 4759

During running busy loop, it returns large value.

After applying this patch, we can see right gtime.

commit fc98c3c8c9dcafd67adcce69e6ce3191d5306c9c upstream.

Use rcuidle console tracepoint because, apparently, it may be issued
from an idle CPU:

  hw-breakpoint: Failed to enable monitor mode on CPU 0.
  hw-breakpoint: CPU 0 failed to disable vector catch

  ===============================
  [ ERR: suspicious RCU usage.  ]
  4.10.0-rc8-next-20170215+ #119 Not tainted
  -------------------------------
  ./include/trace/events/printk.h:32 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
  rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 0
  RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
  2 locks held by swapper/0/0:

   #1:  (console_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [&lt;c01ab350&gt;] vprintk_emit+0x264/0x474

  stack backtrace:
  CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc8-next-20170215+ #119

    cpuidle_enter_state_coupled
    do_idle

This RCU warning, however, is suppressed by lockdep_off() in printk().
lockdep_off() increments the -&gt;lockdep_recursion counter and thus
disables RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() and debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled(), which want
lockdep to be enabled "current-&gt;lockdep_recursion == 0".

<title>futex: Move futex_init() to core_initcall</title>

commit 25f71d1c3e98ef0e52371746220d66458eac75bc upstream.

The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed
and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted.

The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable
might use the futex syscall.

futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there
is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init
call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper.

If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the
syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem
has not been initialized yet.

Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the
root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.

commit 25f71d1c3e98ef0e52371746220d66458eac75bc upstream.

The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed
and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted.

The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable
might use the futex syscall.

futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there
is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init
call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper.

If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the
syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem
has not been initialized yet.

Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the
root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.

commit 0b3589be9b98994ce3d5aeca52445d1f5627c4ba upstream.

Andres reported that MMAP2 records for anonymous memory always have
their protection field 0.

Turns out, someone daft put the prot/flags generation code in the file
branch, leaving them unset for anonymous memory.

commit ff9f8a7cf935468a94d9927c68b00daae701667e upstream.

We perform the conversion between kernel jiffies and ms only when
exporting kernel value to user space.

We need to do the opposite operation when value is written by user.

Only matters when HZ != 1000

commit b6416e61012429e0277bd15a229222fd17afc1c1 upstream.

Modules that use static_key_deferred need a way to synchronize with
any delayed work that is still pending when the module is unloaded.
Introduce static_key_deferred_flush() which flushes any pending
jump label updates.

<title>fgraph: Handle a case where a tracer ignores set_graph_notrace</title>

commit 794de08a16cf1fc1bf785dc48f66d36218cf6d88 upstream.

Both the wakeup and irqsoff tracers can use the function graph tracer when
the display-graph option is set. The problem is that they ignore the notrace
file, and record the entry of functions that would be ignored by the
function_graph tracer. This causes the trace-&gt;depth to be recorded into the
ring buffer. The set_graph_notrace uses a trick by adding a large negative
number to the trace-&gt;depth when a graph function is to be ignored.

On trace output, the graph function uses the depth to record a stack of
functions. But since the depth is negative, it accesses the array with a
negative number and causes an out of bounds access that can cause a kernel
oops or corrupt data.

Have the print functions handle cases where a tracer still records functions
even when they are in set_graph_notrace.

Also add warnings if the depth is below zero before accessing the array.

Note, the function graph logic will still prevent the return of these
functions from being recorded, which means that they will be left hanging
without a return. For example:

   # echo '*spin*' &gt; set_graph_notrace
   # echo 1 &gt; options/display-graph
   # echo wakeup &gt; current_tracer
   # cat trace
   [...]
      _raw_spin_lock() {
        preempt_count_add() {
        do_raw_spin_lock() {
      update_rq_clock();

Where it should look like:

      _raw_spin_lock() {
        preempt_count_add();
        do_raw_spin_lock();
      }
      update_rq_clock();
