commit 9bbb25afeb182502ca4f2c4f3f88af0681b34cae upstream.

Thomas spotted that fixup_pi_state_owner() can return errors and we
fail to unlock the rt_mutex in that case.

<title>futex: Fix potential use-after-free in FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI</title>

commit c236c8e95a3d395b0494e7108f0d41cf36ec107c upstream.

While working on the futex code, I stumbled over this potential
use-after-free scenario. Dmitry triggered it later with syzkaller.

pi_mutex is a pointer into pi_state, which we drop the reference on in
unqueue_me_pi(). So any access to that pointer after that is bad.

Since other sites already do rt_mutex_unlock() with hb-&gt;lock held, see
for example futex_lock_pi(), simply move the unlock before
unqueue_me_pi().

commit de5540d088fe97ad583cc7d396586437b32149a5 upstream.

Under extremely heavy uses of padata, crashes occur, and with list
debugging turned on, this happens instead:

padata_reorder calls list_add_tail with the list to which its adding
locked, which seems correct:

spin_lock(&amp;squeue-&gt;serial.lock);
list_add_tail(&amp;padata-&gt;list, &amp;squeue-&gt;serial.list);
spin_unlock(&amp;squeue-&gt;serial.lock);

This therefore leaves only place where such inconsistency could occur:
if padata-&gt;list is added at the same time on two different threads.
This pdata pointer comes from the function call to
padata_get_next(pd), which has in it the following block:

next_queue = per_cpu_ptr(pd-&gt;pqueue, cpu);
padata = NULL;
reorder = &amp;next_queue-&gt;reorder;
if (!list_empty(&amp;reorder-&gt;list)) {
       padata = list_entry(reorder-&gt;list.next,
                           struct padata_priv, list);
       spin_lock(&amp;reorder-&gt;lock);
       list_del_init(&amp;padata-&gt;list);
       atomic_dec(&amp;pd-&gt;reorder_objects);
       spin_unlock(&amp;reorder-&gt;lock);

       pd-&gt;processed++;

       goto out;
}
out:
return padata;

I strongly suspect that the problem here is that two threads can race
on reorder list. Even though the deletion is locked, call to
list_entry is not locked, which means it's feasible that two threads
pick up the same padata object and subsequently call list_add_tail on
them at the same time. The fix is thus be hoist that lock outside of
that block.

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

[ Upstream commit 794de08a16cf1fc1bf785dc48f66d36218cf6d88 ]

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();

<title>cpuset: handle race between CPU hotplug and cpuset_hotplug_work</title>

[ Upstream commit 28b89b9e6f7b6c8fef7b3af39828722bca20cfee ]

A discrepancy between cpu_online_mask and cpuset's effective_cpus
mask is inevitable during hotplug since cpuset defers updating of
effective_cpus mask using a workqueue, during which time nothing
prevents the system from more hotplug operations.  For that reason
guarantee_online_cpus() walks up the cpuset hierarchy until it finds
an intersection under the assumption that top cpuset's effective_cpus
mask intersects with cpu_online_mask even with such a race occurring.

However a sequence of CPU hotplugs can open a time window, during which
none of the effective CPUs in the top cpuset intersect with
cpu_online_mask.

For example when there are 4 possible CPUs 0-3 and only CPU0 is online:

  ========================  ===========================
   cpu_online_mask           top_cpuset.effective_cpus
  ========================  ===========================
   echo 1 &gt; cpu2/online.
   CPU hotplug notifier woke up hotplug work but not yet scheduled.
      [0,2]                     [0]

   echo 0 &gt; cpu0/online.
   The workqueue is still runnable.
      [2]                       [0]
  ========================  ===========================

  Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and
  top_cpuset.effective_cpus.  Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at
  this moment can cause following:

   Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d0
   ------------[ cut here ]------------
   Kernel BUG at ffffffc0001389b0 [verbose debug info unavailable]

The top cpuset's effective_cpus are guaranteed to be identical to
cpu_online_mask eventually.  Hence fall back to cpu_online_mask when
there is no intersection between top cpuset's effective_cpus and
cpu_online_mask.

  Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and
  top_cpuset.effective_cpus.  Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at
  this moment can cause following:

   Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d0

The top cpuset's effective_cpus are guaranteed to be identical to
cpu_online_mask eventually.  Hence fall back to cpu_online_mask when
there is no intersection between top cpuset's effective_cpus and
cpu_online_mask.

[ Upstream commit 332fd7c4fef5f3b166e93decb07fd69eb24f7998 ]

Pass in the irq_chip_generic struct so we can use different readl/writel
settings for each irqchip driver, when appropriate.  Compute
(gc-&gt;reg_base + reg_offset) in the helper function because this is pretty
much what all callers want to do anyway.

Compile-tested using the following configurations:

    at91_dt_defconfig (CONFIG_ATMEL_AIC_IRQ=y)
    sama5_defconfig (CONFIG_ATMEL_AIC5_IRQ=y)
    sunxi_defconfig (CONFIG_ARCH_SUNXI=y)

tb10x (ARC) is untested.

<title>sched/core: Fix a race between try_to_wake_up() and a woken up task</title>

[ Upstream commit 135e8c9250dd5c8c9aae5984fde6f230d0cbfeaf ]

The origin of the issue I've seen is related to
a missing memory barrier between check for task-&gt;state and
the check for task-&gt;on_rq.

The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule()
and is doing the following:

	do {
		schedule()
		set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE);
	} while (!cond);

The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in
try_to_wake_up():

	while (p-&gt;on_cpu)
		cpu_relax();

Analysis:

The instance I've seen involves the following race:

 CPU1					CPU2

 while () {
   if (cond)
     break;
   do {
     schedule();
     set_current_state(TASK_UN..)
   } while (!cond);
					wakeup_routine()
					  spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
   raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)	  wake_up_process()
 }					  try_to_wake_up()
 set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);	  ..
 list_del(&amp;waiter.list);

CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set
current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs:

 CPU3
 wakeup_routine()
 raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
 if (!list_empty)
   wake_up_process()
   try_to_wake_up()
   raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p-&gt;pi_lock)
   ..
   if (p-&gt;on_rq &amp;&amp; ttwu_wakeup())
   ..
   while (p-&gt;on_cpu)
     cpu_relax()
   ..

CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds
it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately
after CPU2, CPU3 got it.

CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and
the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p-&gt;on_rq
is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds
p-&gt;on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis,
but p-&gt;on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p-&gt;on_rq
check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible
(based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup
via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p-&gt;on_rq change is not
done uder the pi_lock.

The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on
the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely

Reproduction of the issue:

The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80
threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running
memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to
reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce
the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the
changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far.

Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.
Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing
bit in my theory.

[ Upstream commit a4f8f6667f099036c88f231dcad4cf233652c824 ]

It was reported that hibernation could fail on the 2nd attempt, where the
system hangs at hibernate() -&gt; syscore_resume() -&gt; i8237A_resume() -&gt;
claim_dma_lock(), because the lock has already been taken.

However there is actually no other process would like to grab this lock on
that problematic platform.

Further investigation showed that the problem is triggered by setting
/sys/power/pm_trace to 1 before the 1st hibernation.

Since once pm_trace is enabled, the rtc becomes unmeaningful after suspend,
and meanwhile some BIOSes would like to adjust the 'invalid' RTC (e.g, smaller
than 1970) to the release date of that motherboard during POST stage, thus
after resumed, it may seem that the system had a significant long sleep time
which is a completely meaningless value.

Then in timekeeping_resume -&gt; tk_debug_account_sleep_time, if the bit31 of the
sleep time happened to be set to 1, fls() returns 32 and we add 1 to
sleep_time_bin[32], which causes an out of bounds array access and therefor
memory being overwritten.

As depicted by System.map:
0xffffffff81c9d080 b sleep_time_bin
0xffffffff81c9d100 B dma_spin_lock
the dma_spin_lock.val is set to 1, which caused this problem.

This patch adds a sanity check in tk_debug_account_sleep_time()
to ensure we don't index past the sleep_time_bin array.

[jstultz: Problem diagnosed and original patch by Chen Yu, I've solved the
 issue slightly differently, but borrowed his excelent explanation of the
 issue here.]

[ Upstream commit 6c4687cc17a788a6dd8de3e27dbeabb7cbd3e066 ]

__replace_page() wronlgy calls mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() in "success" path,
it should only do this if page_check_address() fails.

This means that every enable/disable leads to unbalanced mem_cgroup_uncharge()
from put_page(old_page), it is trivial to underflow the page_counter-&gt;count
and trigger OOM.

[ Upstream commit 6c4687cc17a788a6dd8de3e27dbeabb7cbd3e066 ]

__replace_page() wronlgy calls mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() in "success" path,
it should only do this if page_check_address() fails.

This means that every enable/disable leads to unbalanced mem_cgroup_uncharge()
from put_page(old_page), it is trivial to underflow the page_counter-&gt;count
and trigger OOM.
