commit 5e7afb2eb7b2a7c81e9f608cbdf74a07606fd1b5 upstream.

irq_remove_generic_chip() calculates the Linux interrupt number for removing the
handler and interrupt chip based on gc::irq_base as a linear function of
the bit positions of set bits in the @msk argument.

When the generic chip is present in an irq domain, i.e. created with a call
to irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips(), gc::irq_base contains not the base
Linux interrupt number.  It contains the base hardware interrupt for this
chip. It is set to 0 for the first chip in the domain, 0 + N for the next
chip, where $N is the number of hardware interrupts per chip.

That means the Linux interrupt number cannot be calculated based on
gc::irq_base for irqdomain based chips without a domain map lookup, which
is currently missing.

Rework the code to take the irqdomain case into account and calculate the
Linux interrupt number by a irqdomain lookup of the domain specific
hardware interrupt number.

<title>PM: hibernate: Clean up sync_read handling in snapshot_write_next()</title>

commit d08970df1980476f27936e24d452550f3e9e92e1 upstream.

In snapshot_write_next(), sync_read is set and unset in three different
spots unnecessiarly. As a result there is a subtle bug where the first
page after the meta data has been loaded unconditionally sets sync_read
to 0. If this first PFN was actually a highmem page, then the returned
buffer will be the global "buffer," and the page needs to be loaded
synchronously.

That is, I'm not sure we can always assume the following to be safe:

	handle-&gt;buffer = get_buffer(&amp;orig_bm, &amp;ca);
	handle-&gt;sync_read = 0;

Because get_buffer() can call get_highmem_page_buffer() which can
return 'buffer'.

The easiest way to address this is just set sync_read before
snapshot_write_next() returns if handle-&gt;buffer == buffer.

commit 969d90ec212bae4b45bf9d21d7daa30aa6cf055e upstream.

eBPF can end up calling into the audit code from some odd places, and
some of these places don't have @current set properly so we end up
tripping the `WARN_ON_ONCE(!current-&gt;mm)` near the top of
`audit_exe_compare()`.  While the basic `!current-&gt;mm` check is good,
the `WARN_ON_ONCE()` results in some scary console messages so let's
drop that and just do the regular `!current-&gt;mm` check to avoid
problems.

commit 47846d51348dd62e5231a83be040981b17c955fa upstream.

The get_task_exe_file() function locks the given task with task_lock()
which when used inside audit_exe_compare() can cause deadlocks on
systems that generate audit records when the task_lock() is held. We
resolve this problem with two changes: ignoring those cases where the
task being audited is not the current task, and changing our approach
to obtaining the executable file struct to not require task_lock().

With the intent of the audit exe filter being to filter on audit events
generated by processes started by the specified executable, it makes
sense that we would only want to use the exe filter on audit records
associated with the currently executing process, e.g. @current.  If
we are asked to filter records using a non-@current task_struct we can
safely ignore the exe filter without negatively impacting the admin's
expectations for the exe filter.

Knowing that we only have to worry about filtering the currently
executing task in audit_exe_compare() we can do away with the
task_lock() and call get_mm_exe_file() with @current-&gt;mm directly.

[ Upstream commit 8f4f68e788c3a7a696546291258bfa5fdb215523 ]

We found a hungtask bug in test_aead_vec_cfg as follows:

INFO: task cryptomgr_test:391009 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

 Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks

For padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call
wait_for_completion(&amp;wait-&gt;completion) in test_aead_vec_cfg. In normal
case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the
return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst-&gt;flags is
PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it
won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will
hung at wait_for_completion(&amp;wait-&gt;completion), which will cause
hungtask.

The problem comes as following:
(padata_do_parallel)                 |
    rcu_read_lock_bh();              |
    err = -EINVAL;                   |   (padata_replace)
                                     |     pinst-&gt;flags |= PADATA_RESET;
    err = -EBUSY                     |
    if (pinst-&gt;flags &amp; PADATA_RESET) |
        rcu_read_unlock_bh()         |
        return err

In order to resolve the problem, we replace the return err -EBUSY with
-EAGAIN, which means parallel_data is changing, and the caller should call
it again.

v3:
remove retry and just change the return err.
v2:
introduce padata_try_do_parallel() in pcrypt_aead_encrypt and
pcrypt_aead_decrypt to solve the hungtask.

[ Upstream commit bccdd808902f8c677317cec47c306e42b93b849e ]

In some cases running with the test-ww_mutex code, I was seeing
odd behavior where sometimes it seemed flush_workqueue was
returning before all the work threads were finished.

Often this would cause strange crashes as the mutexes would be
freed while they were being used.

Looking at the code, there is a lifetime problem as the
controlling thread that spawns the work allocates the
"struct stress" structures that are passed to the workqueue
threads. Then when the workqueue threads are finished,
they free the stress struct that was passed to them.

Unfortunately the workqueue work_struct node is in the stress
struct. Which means the work_struct is freed before the work
thread returns and while flush_workqueue is waiting.

It seems like a better idea to have the controlling thread
both allocate and free the stress structures, so that we can
be sure we don't corrupt the workqueue by freeing the structure
prematurely.

So this patch reworks the test to do so, and with this change
I no longer see the early flush_workqueue returns.

[ Upstream commit bccdd808902f8c677317cec47c306e42b93b849e ]

In some cases running with the test-ww_mutex code, I was seeing
odd behavior where sometimes it seemed flush_workqueue was
returning before all the work threads were finished.

Often this would cause strange crashes as the mutexes would be
freed while they were being used.

Looking at the code, there is a lifetime problem as the
controlling thread that spawns the work allocates the
"struct stress" structures that are passed to the workqueue
threads. Then when the workqueue threads are finished,
they free the stress struct that was passed to them.

Unfortunately the workqueue work_struct node is in the stress
struct. Which means the work_struct is freed before the work
thread returns and while flush_workqueue is waiting.

It seems like a better idea to have the controlling thread
both allocate and free the stress structures, so that we can
be sure we don't corrupt the workqueue by freeing the structure
prematurely.

So this patch reworks the test to do so, and with this change
I no longer see the early flush_workqueue returns.

commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06 upstream.

Because group consistency is non-atomic between parent (filedesc) and children
(inherited) events, it is possible for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read() to try and sum
non-matching counter groups -- with non-sensical results.

Add group_generation to distinguish the case where a parent group removes and
adds an event and thus has the same number, but a different configuration of
events as inherited groups.

This became a problem when commit fa8c269353d5 ("perf/core: Invert
perf_read_group() loops") flipped the order of child_list and sibling_list.
Previously it would iterate the group (sibling_list) first, and for each
sibling traverse the child_list. In this order, only the group composition of
the parent is relevant. By flipping the order the group composition of the
child (inherited) events becomes an issue and the mis-match in group
composition becomes evident.

That said; even prior to this commit, while reading of a group that is not
equally inherited was not broken, it still made no sense.

(Ab)use ECHILD as error return to indicate issues with child process group
composition.

<title>tracing: relax trace_event_eval_update() execution with cond_resched()</title>

[ Upstream commit 23cce5f25491968b23fb9c399bbfb25f13870cd9 ]

When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func()
(which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its
complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another
CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the
eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue
before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP
system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed
clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We
observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing
eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task.

Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows
other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously
like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.
