commit c7a3a88c938fbe3d70c2278e082b80eb830d1c58 upstream.

This patch fixes:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843640

If mmap_region()-&gt;uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how
William noticed this bug.

Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in
fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until
at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from
install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register().

For example, uprobe_mmap()-&gt;install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register()
succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail
in this case.

dup_mmap()-&gt;uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason,
fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if
it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first.

And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return
success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error
code from uprobe_mmap().

commit bea6832cc8c4a0a9a65dd17da6aaa657fe27bc3e upstream.

On architectures where cputime_t is 64 bit type, is possible to trigger
divide by zero on do_div(temp, (__force u32) total) line, if total is a
non zero number but has lower 32 bit's zeroed. Removing casting is not
a good solution since some do_div() implementations do cast to u32
internally.

This problem can be triggered in practice on very long lived processes:

commit 35cf4e50b16331def6cfcbee11e49270b6db07f5 upstream.

With multiple instances of task_groups, for_each_rt_rq() is a noop,
no task groups having been added to the rt.c list instance.  This
renders __enable/disable_runtime() and print_rt_stats() noop, the
user (non) visible effect being that rt task groups are missing in
/proc/sched_debug.

<title>audit: fix refcounting in audit-tree</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a2140fc0cb0325bb6384e788edd27b9a568714e2 upstream.

Refcounting of fsnotify_mark in audit tree is broken.  E.g:

                              refcount
create_chunk
  alloc_chunk                 1
  fsnotify_add_mark           2

untag_chunk
  fsnotify_get_mark           3
  fsnotify_destroy_mark
    audit_tree_freeing_mark   2
  fsnotify_put_mark           1
  fsnotify_put_mark           0
  via destroy_list
    fsnotify_mark_destroy    -1

This was reported by various people as triggering Oops when stopping auditd.

We could just remove the put_mark from audit_tree_freeing_mark() but that would
break freeing via inode destruction.  So this patch simply omits a put_mark
after calling destroy_mark or adds a get_mark before.

The additional get_mark is necessary where there's no other put_mark after
fsnotify_destroy_mark() since it assumes that the caller is holding a reference
(or the inode is keeping the mark pinned, not the case here AFAICS).

Don't do free_chunk() after fsnotify_add_mark().  That one does a delayed unref
via the destroy list and this results in use-after-free.

commit e3756477aec028427fec767957c0d4b6cfb87208 upstream.

While tracking down a weird buffer overflow issue in a program that
looked to be sane, I started double checking the length returned by
syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, ...) to make sure it wasn't overflowing
the buffer.

Sure enough, it was.  I saw this in strace:

  11339 syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, "&lt;5&gt;[244017.708129] REISERFS (dev"..., 8192) = 8279

It turns out that the loops that calculate how much space the entries
will take when they're copied don't include the newlines and prefixes
that will be included in the final output since prev flags is passed as
zero.

This patch properly accounts for it and fixes the overflow.

commit e3756477aec028427fec767957c0d4b6cfb87208 upstream.

While tracking down a weird buffer overflow issue in a program that
looked to be sane, I started double checking the length returned by
syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, ...) to make sure it wasn't overflowing
the buffer.

Sure enough, it was.  I saw this in strace:

  11339 syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, "&lt;5&gt;[244017.708129] REISERFS (dev"..., 8192) = 8279

It turns out that the loops that calculate how much space the entries
will take when they're copied don't include the newlines and prefixes
that will be included in the final output since prev flags is passed as
zero.

commit c5857ccf293968348e5eb4ebedc68074de3dcda6 upstream.

With the new interrupt sampling system, we are no longer using the
timer_rand_state structure in the irq descriptor, so we can stop
initializing it now.

[ Merged in fixes from Sedat to find some last missing references to
  rand_initialize_irq() ]

<title>random: make 'add_interrupt_randomness()' do something sane</title>

commit 775f4b297b780601e61787b766f306ed3e1d23eb upstream.

We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various
reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the
CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy
from a somewhat externally controllable source.

This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition
to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first.
During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu
pool.  Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is
initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool.  This
assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as
possible.

(Based on an original patch by Linus, but significantly modified by
tytso.)

<title>futex: Forbid uaddr == uaddr2 in futex_wait_requeue_pi()</title>

commit 6f7b0a2a5c0fb03be7c25bd1745baa50582348ef upstream.

If uaddr == uaddr2, then we have broken the rule of only requeueing
from a non-pi futex to a pi futex with this call. If we attempt this,
as the trinity test suite manages to do, we miss early wakeups as
q.key is equal to key2 (because they are the same uaddr). We will then
attempt to dereference the pi_mutex (which would exist had the futex_q
been properly requeued to a pi futex) and trigger a NULL pointer
dereference.

<title>futex: Fix bug in WARN_ON for NULL q.pi_state</title>

commit f27071cb7fe3e1d37a9dbe6c0dfc5395cd40fa43 upstream.

The WARN_ON in futex_wait_requeue_pi() for a NULL q.pi_state was testing
the address (&amp;q.pi_state) of the pointer instead of the value
(q.pi_state) of the pointer. Correct it accordingly.
