commit cf144f81a99d1a3928f90b0936accfd3f45c9a0a upstream.

Testing padata with the tcrypt module on a 5.2 kernel...

    # modprobe tcrypt alg="pcrypt(rfc4106(gcm(aes)))" type=3
    # modprobe tcrypt mode=211 sec=1

...produces this splat:

     ? 0xffffffffa00f4000
     tcrypt_mod_init+0x50/0x1000 [tcrypt]
     ...

The second modprobe command never finishes because in padata_reorder,
CPU0's load of reorder_objects is executed before the unlocking store in
spin_unlock_bh(pd-&gt;lock), causing CPU0 to miss CPU1's increment:

CPU0                                 CPU1

padata_reorder                       padata_do_serial
  LOAD reorder_objects  // 0
                                       INC reorder_objects  // 1
                                       padata_reorder
                                         TRYLOCK pd-&gt;lock   // failed
  UNLOCK pd-&gt;lock

CPU0 deletes the timer before returning from padata_reorder and since no
other job is submitted to padata, modprobe waits indefinitely.

Add a pair of full barriers to guarantee proper ordering:

CPU0                                 CPU1

padata_reorder                       padata_do_serial
  UNLOCK pd-&gt;lock
  smp_mb()
  LOAD reorder_objects
                                       INC reorder_objects
                                       smp_mb__after_atomic()
                                       padata_reorder
                                         TRYLOCK pd-&gt;lock

smp_mb__after_atomic is needed so the read part of the trylock operation
comes after the INC, as Andrea points out.   Thanks also to Andrea for
help with writing a litmus test.

<title>signal/pid_namespace: Fix reboot_pid_ns to use send_sig not force_sig</title>

commit f9070dc94542093fd516ae4ccea17ef46a4362c5 upstream.

The locking in force_sig_info is not prepared to deal with a task that
exits or execs (as sighand may change).  The is not a locking problem
in force_sig as force_sig is only built to handle synchronous
exceptions.

Further the function force_sig_info changes the signal state if the
signal is ignored, or blocked or if SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will prevent the
delivery of the signal.  The signal SIGKILL can not be ignored and can
not be blocked and SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE won't prevent it from being
delivered.

So using force_sig rather than send_sig for SIGKILL is confusing
and pointless.

Because it won't impact the sending of the signal and and because
using force_sig is wrong, replace force_sig with send_sig.

<title>tracing/snapshot: Resize spare buffer if size changed</title>

commit 46cc0b44428d0f0e81f11ea98217fc0edfbeab07 upstream.

Current snapshot implementation swaps two ring_buffers even though their
sizes are different from each other, that can cause an inconsistency
between the contents of buffer_size_kb file and the current buffer size.

For example:

  # cat buffer_size_kb
  7 (expanded: 1408)
  # echo 1 &gt; events/enable
  # grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats
  bytes: 1441020
  # echo 1 &gt; snapshot             // current:1408, spare:1408
  # echo 123 &gt; buffer_size_kb     // current:123,  spare:1408
  # echo 1 &gt; snapshot             // current:1408, spare:123
  # grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats
  bytes: 1443700
  # cat buffer_size_kb
  123                             // != current:1408

And also, a similar per-cpu case hits the following WARNING:

Reproducer:

  # echo 1 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  # echo 123 &gt; buffer_size_kb
  # echo 1 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot

commit 1bf72720281770162c87990697eae1ba2f1d917a upstream.

Currently, if the user specifies an unsupported mitigation strategy on the
kernel command line, it will be ignored silently.  The code will fall back
to the default strategy, possibly leaving the system more vulnerable than
expected.

This may happen due to e.g. a simple typo, or, for a stable kernel release,
because not all mitigation strategies have been backported.

Inform the user by printing a message.

commit 913a90bc5a3a06b1f04c337320e9aeee2328dd77 upstream.

perf_event_open() limits the sample_period to 63 bits. See:

  0819b2e30ccb ("perf: Limit perf_event_attr::sample_period to 63 bits")

Make ioctl() consistent with it.

Also on PowerPC, negative sample_period could cause a recursive
PMIs leading to a hang (reported when running perf-fuzzer).

<title>perf/core: Fix perf_sample_regs_user() mm check</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 085ebfe937d7a7a5df1729f35a12d6d655fea68c upstream.

perf_sample_regs_user() uses 'current-&gt;mm' to test for the presence of
userspace, but this is insufficient, consider use_mm().

A better test is: '!(current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD)', exec() clears
PF_KTHREAD after it sets the new -&gt;mm but before it drops to userspace
for the first time.

Possibly obsoletes: bf05fc25f268 ("powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process")

commit f6581f5b55141a95657ef5742cf6a6bfa20a109f upstream.

Restore the read memory barrier in __ptrace_may_access() that was deleted
a couple years ago. Also add comments on this barrier and the one it pairs
with to explain why they're there (as far as I understand).

commit 98af37d624ed8c83f1953b1b6b2f6866011fc064 upstream.

In the fixes commit, removing SIGKILL from each thread signal mask and
executing "goto fatal" directly will skip the call to
"trace_signal_deliver".  At this point, the delivery tracking of the
SIGKILL signal will be inaccurate.

Therefore, we need to add trace_signal_deliver before "goto fatal" after
executing sigdelset.

Note: SEND_SIG_NOINFO matches the fact that SIGKILL doesn't have any info.

commit f6e2aa91a46d2bc79fce9b93a988dbe7655c90c0 upstream.

Recently syzbot in conjunction with KMSAN reported that
ptrace_peek_siginfo can copy an uninitialized siginfo to userspace.
Inspecting ptrace_peek_siginfo confirms this.

The problem is that off when initialized from args.off can be
initialized to a negaive value.  At which point the "if (off &gt;= 0)"
test to see if off became negative fails because off started off
negative.

Prevent the core problem by adding a variable found that is only true
if a siginfo is found and copied to a temporary in preparation for
being copied to userspace.

Prevent args.off from being truncated when being assigned to off by
testing that off is &lt;= the maximum possible value of off.  Convert off
to an unsigned long so that we should not have to truncate args.off,
we have well defined overflow behavior so if we add another check we
won't risk fighting undefined compiler behavior, and so that we have a
type whose maximum value is easy to test for.

<title>perf/ring_buffer: Add ordering to rb-&gt;nest increment</title>

commit 3f9fbe9bd86c534eba2faf5d840fd44c6049f50e upstream.

Similar to how decrementing rb-&gt;next too early can cause data_head to
(temporarily) be observed to go backward, so too can this happen when
we increment too late.

This barrier() ensures the rb-&gt;head load happens after the increment,
both the one in the 'goto again' path, as the one from
perf_output_get_handle() -- albeit very unlikely to matter for the
latter.

commit 3f9fbe9bd86c534eba2faf5d840fd44c6049f50e upstream.

Similar to how decrementing rb-&gt;next too early can cause data_head to
(temporarily) be observed to go backward, so too can this happen when
we increment too late.

This barrier() ensures the rb-&gt;head load happens after the increment,
both the one in the 'goto again' path, as the one from
perf_output_get_handle() -- albeit very unlikely to matter for the
latter.
