commit f4dbba591945dc301c302672adefba9e2ec08dc5 upstream.

When running locktorture module with the below commands with kmemleak enabled:

$ modprobe locktorture torture_type=rw_lock_irq
$ rmmod locktorture

The below kmemleak got caught:

them in lock_torture_cleanup() and free writer_tasks if reader_tasks is
failed at memory allocation.

commit 3e44c471a2dab210f7e9b1e5f7d4d54d52df59eb upstream.

Fix kernel gcov support for GCC 5.1.  Similar to commit a992bf836f9
("gcov: add support for GCC 4.9"), this patch takes into account the
existence of a new gcov counter (see gcc's gcc/gcov-counter.def.)

Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data
structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1.

Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top N
value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the other
gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.

<title>perf/core: Fix group {cpu,task} validation</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 64aee2a965cf2954a038b5522f11d2cd2f0f8f3e upstream.

Regardless of which events form a group, it does not make sense for the
events to target different tasks and/or CPUs, as this leaves the group
inconsistent and impossible to schedule. The core perf code assumes that
these are consistent across (successfully intialised) groups.

Core perf code only verifies this when moving SW events into a HW
context. Thus, we can violate this requirement for pure SW groups and
pure HW groups, unless the relevant PMU driver happens to perform this
verification itself. These mismatched groups subsequently wreak havoc
elsewhere.

For example, we handle watchpoints as SW events, and reserve watchpoint
HW on a per-CPU basis at pmu::event_init() time to ensure that any event
that is initialised is guaranteed to have a slot at pmu::add() time.
However, the core code only checks the group leader's cpu filter (via
event_filter_match()), and can thus install follower events onto CPUs
violating thier (mismatched) CPU filters, potentially installing them
into a CPU without sufficient reserved slots.

This can be triggered with the below test case, resulting in warnings
from arch backends.

  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include &lt;linux/hw_breakpoint.h&gt;
  #include &lt;linux/perf_event.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sched.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/prctl.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/syscall.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

  static int perf_event_open(struct perf_event_attr *attr, pid_t pid, int cpu,
			   int group_fd, unsigned long flags)
  {
	return syscall(__NR_perf_event_open, attr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags);
  }

  char watched_char;

  struct perf_event_attr wp_attr = {
	.type = PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT,
	.bp_type = HW_BREAKPOINT_RW,
	.bp_addr = (unsigned long)&amp;watched_char,
	.bp_len = 1,
	.size = sizeof(wp_attr),
  };

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
	int leader, ret;
	cpu_set_t cpus;

	/*
	 * Force use of CPU0 to ensure our CPU0-bound events get scheduled.
	 */
	CPU_ZERO(&amp;cpus);
	CPU_SET(0, &amp;cpus);
	ret = sched_setaffinity(0, sizeof(cpus), &amp;cpus);
	if (ret) {
		printf("Unable to set cpu affinity\n");
		return 1;
	}

	/* open leader event, bound to this task, CPU0 only */
	leader = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	if (leader &lt; 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open leader: %d\n", leader);
		return 1;
	}

	/*
	 * Open a follower event that is bound to the same task, but a
	 * different CPU. This means that the group should never be possible to
	 * schedule.
	 */
	ret = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 1, leader, 0);
	if (ret &lt; 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open mismatched follower: %d\n", ret);
		return 1;
	} else {
		printf("Opened leader/follower with mismastched CPUs\n");
	}

	/*
	 * Open as many independent events as we can, all bound to the same
	 * task, CPU0 only.
	 */
	do {
		ret = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	} while (ret &gt;= 0);

	/*
	 * Force enable/disble all events to trigger the erronoeous
	 * installation of the follower event.
	 */
	printf("Opened all events. Toggling..\n");
	for (;;) {
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_DISABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_ENABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	}

	return 0;
  }

Fix this by validating this requirement regardless of whether we're
moving events.

context. Thus, we can violate this requirement for pure SW groups and
pure HW groups, unless the relevant PMU driver happens to perform this
verification itself. These mismatched groups subsequently wreak havoc
elsewhere.

For example, we handle watchpoints as SW events, and reserve watchpoint
HW on a per-CPU basis at pmu::event_init() time to ensure that any event
that is initialised is guaranteed to have a slot at pmu::add() time.
However, the core code only checks the group leader's cpu filter (via
event_filter_match()), and can thus install follower events onto CPUs
violating thier (mismatched) CPU filters, potentially installing them
into a CPU without sufficient reserved slots.

This can be triggered with the below test case, resulting in warnings
from arch backends.

  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include &lt;linux/hw_breakpoint.h&gt;
  #include &lt;linux/perf_event.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sched.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

  static int perf_event_open(struct perf_event_attr *attr, pid_t pid, int cpu,
			   int group_fd, unsigned long flags)
  {
	return syscall(__NR_perf_event_open, attr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags);
  }

  char watched_char;

  struct perf_event_attr wp_attr = {
	.type = PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT,
	.bp_type = HW_BREAKPOINT_RW,
	.bp_addr = (unsigned long)&amp;watched_char,
	.bp_len = 1,
	.size = sizeof(wp_attr),
  };

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
	int leader, ret;
	cpu_set_t cpus;

	/*
	 * Force use of CPU0 to ensure our CPU0-bound events get scheduled.
	 */
	CPU_ZERO(&amp;cpus);
	CPU_SET(0, &amp;cpus);
	ret = sched_setaffinity(0, sizeof(cpus), &amp;cpus);
	if (ret) {
		printf("Unable to set cpu affinity\n");
		return 1;
	}

	/* open leader event, bound to this task, CPU0 only */
	leader = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	if (leader &lt; 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open leader: %d\n", leader);
		return 1;
	}

	/*
	 * Open a follower event that is bound to the same task, but a
	 * different CPU. This means that the group should never be possible to
	 * schedule.
	 */
	ret = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 1, leader, 0);
	if (ret &lt; 0) {
		printf("Couldn't open mismatched follower: %d\n", ret);
		return 1;
	} else {
		printf("Opened leader/follower with mismastched CPUs\n");
	}

	/*
	 * Open as many independent events as we can, all bound to the same
	 * task, CPU0 only.
	 */
	do {
		ret = perf_event_open(&amp;wp_attr, 0, 0, -1, 0);
	} while (ret &gt;= 0);

	/*
	 * Force enable/disble all events to trigger the erronoeous
	 * installation of the follower event.
	 */
	printf("Opened all events. Toggling..\n");
	for (;;) {
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_DISABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
		prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_ENABLE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	}

	return 0;
  }

Fix this by validating this requirement regardless of whether we're
moving events.

The function create_filter() is passed a 'filterp' pointer that gets
allocated, and if "set_str" is true, it is up to the caller to free it, even
on error. The problem is that the pointer is not freed by create_filter()
when set_str is false. This is a bug, and it is not up to the caller to free
the filter on error if it doesn't care about the string.

commit dd1c1f2f2028a7b851f701fc6a8ebe39dcb95e7c upstream.

This was reported many times, and this was even mentioned in commit
52ee2dfdd4f5 ("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe") but
somehow nobody bothered to fix the obvious problem: task_tgid_nr_ns() is
not safe because task-&gt;group_leader points to nowhere after the exiting
task passes exit_notify(), rcu_read_lock() can not help.

We really need to change __unhash_process() to nullify group_leader,
parent, and real_parent, but this needs some cleanups.  Until then we
can turn task_tgid_nr_ns() into another user of __task_pid_nr_ns() and
fix the problem.

commit d76036ab47eafa6ce52b69482e91ca3ba337d6d6 upstream.

audit_remove_watch_rule() drops watch's reference to parent but then
continues to work with it. That is not safe as parent can get freed once
we drop our reference. The following is a trivial reproducer:

mount -o loop image /mnt
touch /mnt/file
auditctl -w /mnt/file -p wax
umount /mnt
auditctl -D
&lt;crash in fsnotify_destroy_mark()&gt;

Grab our own reference in audit_remove_watch_rule() earlier to make sure
mark does not get freed under us.

commit 0a94efb5acbb6980d7c9ab604372d93cd507e4d8 upstream.

5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be
ordered") automatically enabled ordered attribute for unbound
workqueues w/ max_active == 1.  Because ordered workqueues reject
max_active and some attribute changes, this implicit ordered mode
broke cases where the user creates an unbound workqueue w/ max_active
== 1 and later explicitly changes the related attributes.

This patch distinguishes explicit and implicit ordered setting and
overrides from attribute changes if implict.

[ Upstream commit 2d39b3cd34e6d323720d4c61bd714f5ae202c022 ]

Since commit 00cd5c37afd5 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we
can now trace init processes.  init is initially protected with
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but
there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can
be implicitly cleared.

This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing.  For
example, running:

  while true; do kill -STOP 1; done &amp;
  strace -p 1

and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being
left in state TASK_STOPPED.  Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but
init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring
them.

Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.
