commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8 upstream.

There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes
vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the
right compiler or the right option.

To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info
string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with
retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source
or prebuilt object files are not checked.

If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at
load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

commit c1804a236894ecc942da7dc6c5abe209e56cba93 upstream.

Mark __x86_indirect_thunk_* functions as blacklist for kprobes
because those functions can be called from anywhere in the kernel
including blacklist functions of kprobes.

commit a992bf836f9c3039a16f4bd068d161c86c6c3e2c upstream.

This patch handles the gcov-related changes in GCC 4.9:

  A new counter (time profile) is added. The total number is 9 now.

  A new profile merge function __gcov_merge_time_profile is added.

See gcc/gcov-io.h and libgcc/libgcov-merge.c

For the first change, the layout of struct gcov_info is affected.

For the second one, a dummy function is added to kernel/gcov/base.c
similarly.

<title>gcov: add support for gcc 4.7 gcov format</title>

commit 5f41ea0386a53414d688cfcaa321a78310e5f7c1 upstream.

The gcov in-memory format changed in gcc 4.7.  The biggest change, which
requires this special implementation, is that gcov_info no longer contains
array of counters for each counter type for all functions and gcov_fn_info
is not used for mapping of function's counters to these arrays(offset).
Now each gcov_fn_info contans it's counters, which makes things a little
bit easier.

This is heavily based on the previous gcc_3_4.c implementation and patches
provided by Peter Oberparleiter.  Specially the buffer gcda implementation
for iterator.

commit 8cbce376e3fdf4a21f59365aefbb52eac3c2e312 upstream.

Since also the gcov structures(gcov_info, gcov_fn_info, gcov_ctr_info) can
change between gcc releases, as shown in gcc 4.7, they cannot be defined
in a common header and need to be moved to a specific gcc implemention
file.  This also requires to make the gcov_info structure opaque for the
common code and to introduce simple helpers for accessing data inside
gcov_info.

<title>hrtimer: Reset hrtimer cpu base proper on CPU hotplug</title>

commit d5421ea43d30701e03cadc56a38854c36a8b4433 upstream.

The hrtimer interrupt code contains a hang detection and mitigation
mechanism, which prevents that a long delayed hrtimer interrupt causes a
continous retriggering of interrupts which prevent the system from making
progress. If a hang is detected then the timer hardware is programmed with
a certain delay into the future and a flag is set in the hrtimer cpu base
which prevents newly enqueued timers from reprogramming the timer hardware
prior to the chosen delay. The subsequent hrtimer interrupt after the delay
clears the flag and resumes normal operation.

If such a hang happens in the last hrtimer interrupt before a CPU is
unplugged then the hang_detected flag is set and stays that way when the
CPU is plugged in again. At that point the timer hardware is not armed and
it cannot be armed because the hang_detected flag is still active, so
nothing clears that flag. As a consequence the CPU does not receive hrtimer
interrupts and no timers expire on that CPU which results in RCU stalls and
other malfunctions.

Clear the flag along with some other less critical members of the hrtimer
cpu base to ensure starting from a clean state when a CPU is plugged in.

Thanks to Paul, Sebastian and Anna-Maria for their help to get down to the
root cause of that hard to reproduce heisenbug. Once understood it's
trivial and certainly justifies a brown paperbag.

commit fbe0e839d1e22d88810f3ee3e2f1479be4c0aa4a upstream.

UBSAN reports signed integer overflow in kernel/futex.c:

 UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/futex.c:2041:18
 signed integer overflow:
 0 - -2147483648 cannot be represented in type 'int'

Add a sanity check to catch negative values of nr_wake and nr_requeue.

<title>ring-buffer: Mask out the info bits when returning buffer page length</title>

commit 45d8b80c2ac5d21cd1e2954431fb676bc2b1e099 upstream.

Two info bits were added to the "commit" part of the ring buffer data page
when returned to be consumed. This was to inform the user space readers that
events have been missed, and that the count may be stored at the end of the
page.

What wasn't handled, was the splice code that actually called a function to
return the length of the data in order to zero out the rest of the page
before sending it up to user space. These data bits were returned with the
length making the value negative, and that negative value was not checked.
It was compared to PAGE_SIZE, and only used if the size was less than
PAGE_SIZE. Luckily PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long which made the compare an
unsigned compare, meaning the negative size value did not end up causing a
large portion of memory to be randomly zeroed out.

Fixes: 66a8cb95ed040 ("ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events")

<title>posix-timer: Properly check sigevent-&gt;sigev_notify</title>

commit cef31d9af908243421258f1df35a4a644604efbe upstream.

timer_create() specifies via sigevent-&gt;sigev_notify the signal delivery for
the new timer. The valid modes are SIGEV_NONE, SIGEV_SIGNAL, SIGEV_THREAD
and (SIGEV_SIGNAL | SIGEV_THREAD_ID).

The sanity check in good_sigevent() is only checking the valid combination
for the SIGEV_THREAD_ID bit, i.e. SIGEV_SIGNAL, but if SIGEV_THREAD_ID is
not set it accepts any random value.

This has no real effects on the posix timer and signal delivery code, but
it affects show_timer() which handles the output of /proc/$PID/timers. That
function uses a string array to pretty print sigev_notify. The access to
that array has no bound checks, so random sigev_notify cause access beyond
the array bounds.

Add proper checks for the valid notify modes and remove the SIGEV_THREAD_ID
masking from various code pathes as SIGEV_NONE can never be set in
combination with SIGEV_THREAD_ID.
