commit 11990a5bd7e558e9203c1070fc52fb6f0488e75b upstream.

The only-root-readable /sys/module/$module/sections/$section files
did not truncate their output to the available buffer size. While most
paths into the kernfs read handlers end up using PAGE_SIZE buffers,
it's possible to get there through other paths (e.g. splice, sendfile).
Actually limit the output to the "count" passed into the read function,
and report it back correctly. *sigh*

<title>tracing: Use trace_sched_process_free() instead of exit() for pid tracing</title>

commit afcab636657421f7ebfa0783a91f90256bba0091 upstream.

On exit, if a process is preempted after the trace_sched_process_exit()
tracepoint but before the process is done exiting, then when it gets
scheduled in, the function tracers will not filter it properly against the
function tracing pid filters.

That is because the function tracing pid filters hooks to the
sched_process_exit() tracepoint to remove the exiting task's pid from the
filter list. Because the filtering happens at the sched_switch tracepoint,
when the exiting task schedules back in to finish up the exit, it will no
longer be in the function pid filtering tables.

This was noticeable in the notrace self tests on a preemptable kernel, as
the tests would fail as it exits and preempted after being taken off the
notrace filter table and on scheduling back in it would not be in the
notrace list, and then the ending of the exit function would trace. The test
detected this and would fail.

In calculation of the cpu mask for the hwlat kernel thread, the wrong
cpu mask is used instead of the tracing_cpumask, this causes the
tracing/tracing_cpumask useless for hwlat tracer. Fixes it.

commit 0cb2f1372baa60af8456388a574af6133edd7d80 upstream.

We found a case of kernel panic on our server. The stack trace is as
follows(omit some irrelevant information):

   ftrace_ops_assist_func+0x56/0xe0
   ftrace_call+0x5/0x34
   tcpa_statistic_send+0x5/0x130 [ttcp_engine]

The tcpa_statistic_send is the function being kprobed. After analysis,
the root cause is that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. Why regs is NULL? We use the crash tool to analyze the kdump.

  crash&gt; dis tcpa_statistic_send -r
         &lt;tcpa_statistic_send&gt;: callq 0xffffffffbd8018c0 &lt;ftrace_caller&gt;

The tcpa_statistic_send calls ftrace_caller instead of ftrace_regs_caller.
So it is reasonable that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. In theory, we should call the ftrace_regs_caller instead of the
ftrace_caller. After in-depth analysis, we found a reproducible path.

  Writing a simple kernel module which starts a periodic timer. The
  timer's handler is named 'kprobe_test_timer_handler'. The module
  name is kprobe_test.ko.

  1) insmod kprobe_test.ko
  2) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'
  3) echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
  4) rmmod kprobe_test
  5) stop step 2) kprobe
  6) insmod kprobe_test.ko
  7) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'

We mark the kprobe as GONE but not disarm the kprobe in the step 4).
The step 5) also do not disarm the kprobe when unregister kprobe. So
we do not remove the ip from the filter. In this case, when the module
loads again in the step 6), we will replace the code to ftrace_caller
via the ftrace_module_enable(). When we register kprobe again, we will
not replace ftrace_caller to ftrace_regs_caller because the ftrace is
disabled in the step 3). So the step 7) will trigger kernel panic. Fix
this problem by disarming the kprobe when the module is going away.

commit 8a224ffb3f52b0027f6b7279854c71a31c48fc97 upstream.

When module loaded and enabled, we will use __ftrace_replace_code
for module if any ftrace_ops referenced it found. But we will get
wrong ftrace_addr for module rec in ftrace_get_addr_new, because
rec-&gt;flags has not been setup correctly. It can cause the callback
function of a ftrace_ops has FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS to be called
with pt_regs set to NULL.
So setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for rec when we call
referenced_filters to find ftrace_ops references it.

<title>genirq/affinity: Make affinity setting if activated opt-in</title>

commit f0c7baca180046824e07fc5f1326e83a8fd150c7 upstream.

John reported that on a RK3288 system the perf per CPU interrupts are all
affine to CPU0 and provided the analysis:

 "It looks like what happens is that because the interrupts are not per-CPU
  in the hardware, armpmu_request_irq() calls irq_force_affinity() while
  the interrupt is deactivated and then request_irq() with IRQF_PERCPU |
  IRQF_NOBALANCING.

  Now when irq_startup() runs with IRQ_STARTUP_NORMAL, it calls
  irq_setup_affinity() which returns early because IRQF_PERCPU and
  IRQF_NOBALANCING are set, leaving the interrupt on its original CPU."

This was broken by the recent commit which blocked interrupt affinity
setting in hardware before activation of the interrupt. While this works in
general, it does not work for this particular case. As contrary to the
initial analysis not all interrupt chip drivers implement an activate
callback, the safe cure is to make the deferred interrupt affinity setting
at activation time opt-in.

Implement the necessary core logic and make the two irqchip implementations
for which this is required opt-in. In hindsight this would have been the
right thing to do, but ...

commit f0c7baca180046824e07fc5f1326e83a8fd150c7 upstream.

John reported that on a RK3288 system the perf per CPU interrupts are all
affine to CPU0 and provided the analysis:

 "It looks like what happens is that because the interrupts are not per-CPU
  in the hardware, armpmu_request_irq() calls irq_force_affinity() while
  the interrupt is deactivated and then request_irq() with IRQF_PERCPU |
  IRQF_NOBALANCING.

  Now when irq_startup() runs with IRQ_STARTUP_NORMAL, it calls
  irq_setup_affinity() which returns early because IRQF_PERCPU and
  IRQF_NOBALANCING are set, leaving the interrupt on its original CPU."

This was broken by the recent commit which blocked interrupt affinity
setting in hardware before activation of the interrupt. While this works in
general, it does not work for this particular case. As contrary to the
initial analysis not all interrupt chip drivers implement an activate
callback, the safe cure is to make the deferred interrupt affinity setting
at activation time opt-in.

Implement the necessary core logic and make the two irqchip implementations
for which this is required opt-in. In hindsight this would have been the
right thing to do, but ...

[ Upstream commit 9b1b234bb86bcdcdb142e900d39b599185465dbb ]

During sched domain init, we check whether non-topological SD_flags are
returned by tl-&gt;sd_flags(), if found, fire a waning and correct the
violation, but the code failed to correct the violation. Correct this.

With commit:
  'b7031a02ec75 ("sched/fair: Add NOHZ_STATS_KICK")'
rebalance_domains of the local cfs_rq happens before others idle cpus have
updated nohz.next_balance and its value is overwritten.

Move the update of nohz.next_balance for other idles cpus before balancing
and updating the next_balance of local cfs_rq.

Also, the nohz.next_balance is now updated only if all idle cpus got a
chance to rebalance their domains and the idle balance has not been aborted
because of new activities on the CPU. In case of need_resched, the idle
load balance will be kick the next jiffie in order to address remaining
ilb.

<title>random32: update the net random state on interrupt and activity</title>

commit f227e3ec3b5cad859ad15666874405e8c1bbc1d4 upstream.

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.

Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.

In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state.  For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.
