commit 8a56d7761d2d041ae5e8215d20b4167d8aa93f51 upstream.

Commit 8c4f3c3fa9681 "ftrace: Check module functions being traced on reload"
fixed module loading and unloading with respect to function tracing, but
it missed the function graph tracer. If you perform the following

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # echo function_graph &gt; current_tracer
 # modprobe nfsd
 # echo nop &gt; current_tracer

You'll get the following oops message:

The above mentioned commit didn't go far enough. Well, it covered the
function tracer by adding checks in __register_ftrace_function(). The
problem is that the function graph tracer circumvents that (for a slight
efficiency gain when function graph trace is running with a function
tracer. The gain was not worth this).

The problem came with ftrace_startup() which should always be called after
__register_ftrace_function(), if you want this bug to be completely fixed.

Anyway, this solution moves __register_ftrace_function() inside of
ftrace_startup() and removes the need to call them both.

commit 8c4f3c3fa9681dc549cd35419b259496082fef8b upstream.

There's been a nasty bug that would show up and not give much info.
The bug displayed the following warning:

It was finally narrowed down to unloading a module that was being traced.

It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's
a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active
tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is
registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented.
When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented.
If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above
warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until
reboot.

The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on
(and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter
all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the
notrace_hash).

When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent
the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is
function records for one module will not exist on the same page as
function records for other modules or even the core kernel.

Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are
freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with
a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all
functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be
incremented).

The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the
module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the
module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point
to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect
that.

With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer:

 Using uinput module and uinput_release function.

 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 modprobe uinput
 echo uinput_release &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 echo function &gt; current_tracer
 rmmod uinput
 modprobe uinput
 # check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again
 echo nop &gt; current_tracer

 [BOOM]

The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that
can be traced within the module.

We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function.

Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record
associated to uinput_release.

Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents
uinput_release.

Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address).
This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero,
including uinput_release.

Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release
which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have
a mismatch (below zero ref count).

The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any
are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does
that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have
a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts
tracing that function.

There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions
on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions
being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not
a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload,
but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can
still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about
it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too.
Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's
function on unload and load.

commit 06a51d9307380c78bb5c92e68fc80ad2c7d7f890 upstream.

There are two types of hashes in the ftrace_ops; one type
is the filter_hash and the other is the notrace_hash. Either
one may be null, meaning it has no elements. But when elements
are added, the hash is allocated.

Throughout the code, a check needs to be made to see if a hash
exists or the hash has elements, but the check if the hash exists
is usually missing causing the possible "NULL pointer dereference bug".

Add a helper routine called "ftrace_hash_empty()" that returns
true if the hash doesn't exist or its count is zero. As they mean
the same thing.

commit c842e975520f8ab09e293cc92f51a1f396251fd5 upstream.

When disabling the "notrace" records, that means we want to trace them.
If the notrace_hash is zero, it means that we want to trace all
records. But to disable a zero notrace_hash means nothing.

The check for the notrace_hash count was incorrect with:

	if (hash &amp;&amp; !hash-&gt;count)
		return

With the correct comment above it that states that we do nothing
if the notrace_hash has zero count. But !hash also means that
the notrace hash has zero count. I think this was done to
protect against dereferencing NULL. But if !hash is true, then
we go through the following loop without doing a single thing.

Fix it to:

	if (!hash || !hash-&gt;count)
		return;

<title>sched: Avoid throttle_cfs_rq() racing with period_timer stopping</title>

commit f9f9ffc237dd924f048204e8799da74f9ecf40cf upstream.

throttle_cfs_rq() doesn't check to make sure that period_timer is running,
and while update_curr/assign_cfs_runtime does, a concurrently running
period_timer on another cpu could cancel itself between this cpu's
update_curr and throttle_cfs_rq(). If there are no other cfs_rqs running
in the tg to restart the timer, this causes the cfs_rq to be stranded
forever.

Fix this by calling __start_cfs_bandwidth() in throttle if the timer is
inactive.

(Also add some sched_debug lines for cfs_bandwidth.)

Tested: make a run/sleep task in a cgroup, loop switching the cgroup
between 1ms/100ms quota and unlimited, checking for timer_active=0 and
throttled=1 as a failure. With the throttle_cfs_rq() change commented out
this fails, with the full patch it passes.

<title>futex: fix handling of read-only-mapped hugepages</title>

commit f12d5bfceb7e1f9051563381ec047f7f13956c3c upstream.

The hugepage code had the exact same bug that regular pages had in
commit 7485d0d3758e ("futexes: Remove rw parameter from
get_futex_key()").

The regular page case was fixed by commit 9ea71503a8ed ("futex: Fix
regression with read only mappings"), but the transparent hugepage case
(added in a5b338f2b0b1: "thp: update futex compound knowledge") case
remained broken.

Found by Dave Jones and his trinity tool.

Which reports that we take mems_allowed_seq with interrupts enabled. A
little digging found that this can only be from
cpuset_change_task_nodemask().

This is an actual deadlock because an interrupt doing an allocation will
hit get_mems_allowed()-&gt;...-&gt;__read_seqcount_begin(), which will spin
forever waiting for the write side to complete.

<title>irq: Enable all irqs unconditionally in irq_resume</title>

commit ac01810c9d2814238f08a227062e66a35a0e1ea2 upstream.

When the system enters suspend, it disables all interrupts in
suspend_device_irqs(), including the interrupts marked EARLY_RESUME.

On the resume side things are different. The EARLY_RESUME interrupts
are reenabled in sys_core_ops-&gt;resume and the non EARLY_RESUME
interrupts are reenabled in the normal system resume path.

When suspend_noirq() failed or suspend is aborted for any other
reason, we might omit the resume side call to sys_core_ops-&gt;resume()
and therefor the interrupts marked EARLY_RESUME are not reenabled and
stay disabled forever.

To solve this, enable all irqs unconditionally in irq_resume()
regardless whether interrupts marked EARLY_RESUMEhave been already
enabled or not.

This might try to reenable already enabled interrupts in the non
failure case, but the only affected platform is XEN and it has been
confirmed that it does not cause any side effects.

commit d049f74f2dbe71354d43d393ac3a188947811348 upstream.

The get_dumpable() return value is not boolean.  Most users of the
function actually want to be testing for non-SUID_DUMP_USER(1) rather than
SUID_DUMP_DISABLE(0).  The SUID_DUMP_ROOT(2) is also considered a
protected state.  Almost all places did this correctly, excepting the two
places fixed in this patch.

Wrong logic:
    if (dumpable == SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (dumpable == 0) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (!dumpable) { /* be protective */ }

Correct logic:
    if (dumpable != SUID_DUMP_USER) { /* be protective */ }
        or
    if (dumpable != 1) { /* be protective */ }

Without this patch, if the system had set the sysctl fs/suid_dumpable=2, a
user was able to ptrace attach to processes that had dropped privileges to
that user.  (This may have been partially mitigated if Yama was enabled.)

The macros have been moved into the file that declares get/set_dumpable(),
which means things like the ia64 code can see them too.

commit fd432b9f8c7c88428a4635b9f5a9c6e174df6e36 upstream.

When system has a lot of highmem (e.g. 16GiB using a 32 bits kernel),
the code to calculate how much memory we need to preallocate in
normal zone may cause overflow. As Leon has analysed:

 It looks that during computing 'alloc' variable there is overflow:
 alloc = (3943404 - 1970542) - 1978280 = -5418 (signed)
 And this function goes to err_out.

Fix this by avoiding that overflow.
