commit b8299d362d0837ae39e87e9019ebe6b736e0f035 upstream.

On some archs with some configurations, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE is not defined, and
this makes the stack tracer fail to compile. Just define it to zero in this
case.

commit 50f9ad607ea891a9308e67b81f774c71736d1098 upstream.

In the function, if register_trace_sched_migrate_task() returns error,
sched_switch/sched_wakeup_new/sched_wakeup won't unregister. That is
why fail_deprobe_sched_switch was added.

After further debugging, turns out while in case of other helper functions
we disallow passing modified ctx, the special case of ld/abs/ind instruction
which has similar semantics (except r6 being the ctx argument) is missing
such check. Modified ctx is impossible here as bpf_skb_load_helper_8_no_cache()
and others are expecting skb fields in original position, hence, add
check_ctx_reg() to reject any modified ctx. Issue was first introduced back
in f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier: rework value tracking").

<content type='text'>
commit 58990d1ff3f7896ee341030e9a7c2e4002570683 upstream.

As commit 28e33f9d78ee ("bpf: disallow arithmetic operations on
context pointer") already describes, f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier:
rework value tracking") removed the specific white-listed cases
we had previously where we would allow for pointer arithmetic in
order to further generalize it, and allow e.g. context access via
modified registers. While the dereferencing of modified context
pointers had been forbidden through 28e33f9d78ee, syzkaller did
recently manage to trigger several KASAN splats for slab out of
bounds access and use after frees by simply passing a modified
context pointer to a helper function which would then do the bad
access since verifier allowed it in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals().

Rejecting arithmetic on ctx pointer in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals()
generally could break existing programs as there's a valid use
case in tracing in combination with passing the ctx to helpers as
bpf_probe_read(), where the register then becomes unknown at
verification time due to adding a non-constant offset to it. An
access sequence may look like the following:

  offset = args-&gt;filename;  /* field __data_loc filename */
  bpf_probe_read(&amp;dst, len, (char *)args + offset); // args is ctx

There are two options: i) we could special case the ctx and as
soon as we add a constant or bounded offset to it (hence ctx type
wouldn't change) we could turn the ctx into an unknown scalar, or
ii) we generalize the sanity test for ctx member access into a
small helper and assert it on the ctx register that was passed
as a function argument. Fwiw, latter is more obvious and less
complex at the same time, and one case that may potentially be
legitimate in future for ctx member access at least would be for
ctx to carry a const offset. Therefore, fix follows approach
from ii) and adds test cases to BPF kselftests.

[ Upstream commit 1a365e822372ba24c9da0822bc583894f6f3d821 ]

This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN,
it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports,
suggesting these are extremely frequent.

Example data race report:

  read to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 221 on cpu 2:
   debug_spin_lock_before kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:85 [inline]
   do_raw_spin_lock+0x9b/0x210 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:112
   __raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 [inline]
   _raw_spin_lock+0x39/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151
   spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline]
   get_partial_node.isra.0.part.0+0x32/0x2f0 mm/slub.c:1873
   get_partial_node mm/slub.c:1870 [inline]
  &lt;snip&gt;

  write to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 167 on cpu 3:
   debug_spin_unlock kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:103 [inline]
   do_raw_spin_unlock+0xc9/0x1a0 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:138
   __raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:159 [inline]
   _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2d/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:191
   spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock.h:393 [inline]
   free_debug_processing+0x1b3/0x210 mm/slub.c:1214
   __slab_free+0x292/0x400 mm/slub.c:2864
  &lt;snip&gt;

As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most
likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -&gt; printk lock -&gt; spinlock_debug -&gt;
KCSAN detects data race -&gt; kcsan_print_report() -&gt; printk lock -&gt;
deadlock.

This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging
together with KCSAN.

commit e31f7939c1c27faa5d0e3f14519eaf7c89e8a69d upstream.

The ftrace_profile-&gt;counter is unsigned long and
do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test
non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.

<title>exit: panic before exit_mm() on global init exit</title>

commit 43cf75d96409a20ef06b756877a2e72b10a026fc upstream.

Currently, when global init and all threads in its thread-group have exited
we panic via:
do_exit()
-&gt; exit_notify()
   -&gt; forget_original_parent()
      -&gt; find_child_reaper()
This makes it hard to extract a useable coredump for global init from a
kernel crashdump because by the time we panic exit_mm() will have already
released global init's mm.
This patch moves the panic futher up before exit_mm() is called. As was the
case previously, we only panic when global init and all its threads in the
thread-group have exited.

<title>tracing: Have the histogram compare functions convert to u64 first</title>

commit 106f41f5a302cb1f36c7543fae6a05de12e96fa4 upstream.

The compare functions of the histogram code would be specific for the size
of the value being compared (byte, short, int, long long). It would
reference the value from the array via the type of the compare, but the
value was stored in a 64 bit number. This is fine for little endian
machines, but for big endian machines, it would end up comparing zeros or
all ones (depending on the sign) for anything but 64 bit numbers.

To fix this, first derference the value as a u64 then convert it to the type
being compared.

<title>tracing: Fix lock inversion in trace_event_enable_tgid_record()</title>

commit 3a53acf1d9bea11b57c1f6205e3fe73f9d8a3688 upstream.

       Task T2                             Task T3
trace_options_core_write()            subsystem_open()

 mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)           mutex_lock(event_mutex)

 set_tracer_flag()

   trace_event_enable_tgid_record()       mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)

    mutex_lock(event_mutex)

This gives a circular dependency deadlock between trace_types_lock and
event_mutex. To fix this invert the usage of trace_types_lock and
event_mutex in trace_options_core_write(). This keeps the sequence of
lock usage consistent.

commit 84029fd04c201a4c7e0b07ba262664900f47c6f5 upstream.

The cred_jar kmem_cache is already memcg accounted in the current kernel
but cred-&gt;security is not.  Account cred-&gt;security to kmemcg.

Recently we saw high root slab usage on our production and on further
inspection, we found a buggy application leaking processes.  Though that
buggy application was contained within its memcg but we observe much
more system memory overhead, couple of GiBs, during that period.  This
overhead can adversely impact the isolation on the system.

One source of high overhead we found was cred-&gt;security objects, which
have a lifetime of at least the life of the process which allocated
them.
