[ Upstream commit 4af396ae4836c4ecab61e975b8e61270c551894d ]

When returning BPF_STACK_BUILD_ID_IP from stack_map_get_build_id_offset,
make sure that build_id field is empty. Since we are using percpu
free list, there is a possibility that we might reuse some previous
bpf_stack_build_id with non-zero build_id.

[ Upstream commit 0b698005a9d11c0e91141ec11a2c4918a129f703 ]

Build-id length is not fixed to 20, it can be (`man ld` /--build-id):
  * 128-bit (uuid)
  * 160-bit (sha1)
  * any length specified in ld --build-id=0xhexstring

To fix the issue of missing BPF_STACK_BUILD_ID_VALID for shorter build-ids,
assume that build-id is somewhere in the range of 1 .. 20.
Set the remaining bytes to zero.

v2:
* don't introduce new "len = min(BPF_BUILD_ID_SIZE, nhdr-&gt;n_descsz)",
  we already know that nhdr-&gt;n_descsz &lt;= BPF_BUILD_ID_SIZE if we enter
  this 'if' condition

[ Upstream commit beaf3d1901f4ea46fbd5c9d857227d99751de469 ]

As Naresh reported, test_stacktrace_build_id() causes panic on i386 and
arm32 systems. This is caused by page_address() returns NULL in certain
cases.

This patch fixes this error by using kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic instead
of page_address.

commit 9e7382153f80ba45a0bbcd540fb77d4b15f6e966 upstream.

The following commit

  441dae8f2f29 ("tracing: Add support for display of tgid in trace output")

removed the call to print_event_info() from print_func_help_header_irq()
which results in the ftrace header not reporting the number of entries
written in the buffer. As this wasn't the original intent of the patch,
re-introduce the call to print_event_info() to restore the orginal
behaviour.

<title>signal: Restore the stop PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT</title>

commit cf43a757fd49442bc38f76088b70c2299eed2c2f upstream.

In the middle of do_exit() there is there is a call
"ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, code);" That call places the process
in TACKED_TRACED aka "(TASK_WAKEKILL | __TASK_TRACED)" and waits for
for the debugger to release the task or SIGKILL to be delivered.

Skipping past dequeue_signal when we know a fatal signal has already
been delivered resulted in SIGKILL remaining pending and
TIF_SIGPENDING remaining set.  This in turn caused the
scheduler to not sleep in PTACE_EVENT_EXIT as it figured
a fatal signal was pending.  This also caused ptrace_freeze_traced
in ptrace_check_attach to fail because it left a per thread
SIGKILL pending which is what fatal_signal_pending tests for.

This difference in signal state caused strace to report
strace: Exit of unknown pid NNNNN ignored

Therefore update the signal handling state like dequeue_signal
would when removing a per thread SIGKILL, by removing SIGKILL
from the per thread signal mask and clearing TIF_SIGPENDING.

<title>tracing/uprobes: Fix output for multiple string arguments</title>

<id>45649b999632ab7ef13b6b93e837f35107cbe240</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0722069a5374b904ec1a67f91249f90e1cfae259 upstream.

When printing multiple uprobe arguments as strings the output for the
earlier arguments would also include all later string arguments.

This is best explained in an example:

Consider adding a uprobe to a function receiving two strings as
parameters which is at offset 0xa0 in strlib.so and we want to print
both parameters when the uprobe is hit (on x86_64):

$ echo 'p:func /lib/strlib.so:0xa0 +0(%di):string +0(%si):string' &gt; \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

When the function is called as func("foo", "bar") and we hit the probe,
the trace file shows a line like the following:

  [...] func: (0x7f7e683706a0) arg1="foobar" arg2="bar"

Note the extra "bar" printed as part of arg1. This behaviour stacks up
for additional string arguments.

The strings are stored in a dynamically growing part of the uprobe
buffer by fetch_store_string() after copying them from userspace via
strncpy_from_user(). The return value of strncpy_from_user() is then
directly used as the required size for the string. However, this does
not take the terminating null byte into account as the documentation
for strncpy_from_user() cleary states that it "[...] returns the
length of the string (not including the trailing NUL)" even though the
null byte will be copied to the destination.

Therefore, subsequent calls to fetch_store_string() will overwrite
the terminating null byte of the most recently fetched string with
the first character of the current string, leading to the
"accumulation" of strings in earlier arguments in the output.

Fix this by incrementing the return value of strncpy_from_user() by
one if we did not hit the maximum buffer size.

commit 81ec3f3c4c4d78f2d3b6689c9816bfbdf7417dbb upstream.

Vince (and later on Ravi) reported crashes in the BTS code during
fuzzing with the following backtrace:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  ...
  RIP: 0010:perf_prepare_sample+0x8f/0x510

   smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x3e/0xe0
   call_function_single_interrupt+0xf/0x20
   &lt;/IRQ&gt;

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.

Following sequence will cause the crash:

If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample()
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller.

Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.

commit 81ec3f3c4c4d78f2d3b6689c9816bfbdf7417dbb upstream.

Vince (and later on Ravi) reported crashes in the BTS code during
fuzzing with the following backtrace:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  ...
  RIP: 0010:perf_prepare_sample+0x8f/0x510

   smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x3e/0xe0
   call_function_single_interrupt+0xf/0x20
   &lt;/IRQ&gt;

The reason is that while event init code does several checks
for BTS events and prevents several unwanted config bits for
BTS event (like precise_ip), the PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD allows
to create BTS event without those checks being done.

Following sequence will cause the crash:

If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains,
and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample()
function because precise_ip events are expected to come
in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the
case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller.

Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period
is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change
if the event would become BTS. Plus adding also the limit_period
check as well.

<title>perf/core: Fix impossible ring-buffer sizes warning</title>

commit 528871b456026e6127d95b1b2bd8e3a003dc1614 upstream.

The following commit:

  9dff0aa95a32 ("perf/core: Don't WARN() for impossible ring-buffer sizes")

results in perf recording failures with larger mmap areas:

  root@skl:/tmp# perf record -g -a
  failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)

The root cause is that the following condition is buggy:

	if (order_base_2(size) &gt;= MAX_ORDER)
		goto fail;

The problem is that @size is in bytes and MAX_ORDER is in pages,
so the right test is:

	if (order_base_2(size) &gt;= PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER)
		goto fail;

Fix it.

<title>signal: Better detection of synchronous signals</title>

commit 7146db3317c67b517258cb5e1b08af387da0618b upstream.

Recently syzkaller was able to create unkillablle processes by
creating a timer that is delivered as a thread local signal on SIGHUP,
and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER.  Ultimately causing a loop failing
to deliver SIGHUP but always trying.

When the stack overflows delivery of SIGHUP fails and force_sigsegv is
called.  Unfortunately because SIGSEGV is numerically higher than
SIGHUP next_signal tries again to deliver a SIGHUP.

From a quality of implementation standpoint attempting to deliver the
timer SIGHUP signal is wrong.  We should attempt to deliver the
synchronous SIGSEGV signal we just forced.

We can make that happening in a fairly straight forward manner by
instead of just looking at the signal number we also look at the
si_code.  In particular for exceptions (aka synchronous signals) the
si_code is always greater than 0.

That still has the potential to pick up a number of asynchronous
signals as in a few cases the same si_codes that are used
for synchronous signals are also used for asynchronous signals,
and SI_KERNEL is also included in the list of possible si_codes.

Still the heuristic is much better and timer signals are definitely
excluded.  Which is enough to prevent all known ways for someone
sending a process signals fast enough to cause unexpected and
arguably incorrect behavior.
