commit 7c3a6aedcd6aae0a32a527e68669f7dd667492d1 upstream.

syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside kexec_load() after
that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1].  It turned out that the reproducer
was trying to allocate 2408MB of memory using kimage_alloc_page() from
kimage_load_normal_segment().  Let's check for SIGKILL before doing memory
allocation.

commit c751798aa224fadc5124b49eeb38fb468c0fa039 upstream.

syzkaller managed to trigger the warning in bpf_jit_free() which checks via
bpf_prog_kallsyms_verify_off() for potentially unlinked JITed BPF progs
in kallsyms, and subsequently trips over GPF when walking kallsyms entries:

Upon further debugging, it turns out that whenever we trigger this
issue, the kallsyms removal in bpf_prog_ksym_node_del() was /skipped/
but yet bpf_jit_free() reported that the entry is /in use/.

Problem is that symbol exposure via bpf_prog_kallsyms_add() but also
perf_event_bpf_event() were done /after/ bpf_prog_new_fd(). Once the
fd is exposed to the public, a parallel close request came in right
before we attempted to do the bpf_prog_kallsyms_add().

Given at this time the prog reference count is one, we start to rip
everything underneath us via bpf_prog_release() -&gt; bpf_prog_put().
The memory is eventually released via deferred free, so we're seeing
that bpf_jit_free() has a kallsym entry because we added it from
bpf_prog_load() but /after/ bpf_prog_put() from the remote CPU.

Therefore, move both notifications /before/ we install the fd. The
issue was never seen between bpf_prog_alloc_id() and bpf_prog_new_fd()
because upon bpf_prog_get_fd_by_id() we'll take another reference to
the BPF prog, so we're still holding the original reference from the
bpf_prog_load().

[ Upstream commit 4ff96fb52c6964ad42e0a878be8f86a2e8052ddd ]

klp_module_coming() is called for every module appearing in the system.
It sets obj-&gt;mod to a patched module for klp_object obj. Unfortunately
it leaves it set even if an error happens later in the function and the
patched module is not allowed to be loaded.

klp_is_object_loaded() uses obj-&gt;mod variable and could currently give a
wrong return value. The bug is probably harmless as of now.

commit f18ddc13af981ce3c7b7f26925f099e7c6929aba upstream.

ENOTSUPP is not supposed to be returned to userspace. This was found on an
OpenPower machine, where the RTC does not support set_alarm.

On that system, a clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM, ...) results in
"524 Unknown error 524"

Replace it with EOPNOTSUPP which results in the expected "95 Operation not
supported" error.

<title>printk: Do not lose last line in kmsg buffer dump</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c9dccacfccc72c32692eedff4a27a4b0833a2afd upstream.

kmsg_dump_get_buffer() is supposed to select all the youngest log
messages which fit into the provided buffer.  It determines the correct
start index by using msg_print_text() with a NULL buffer to calculate
the size of each entry.  However, when performing the actual writes,
msg_print_text() only writes the entry to the buffer if the written len
is lesser than the size of the buffer.  So if the lengths of the
selected youngest log messages happen to precisely fill up the provided
buffer, the last log message is not included.

We don't want to modify msg_print_text() to fill up the buffer and start
returning a length which is equal to the size of the buffer, since
callers of its other users, such as kmsg_dump_get_line(), depend upon
the current behaviour.

Instead, fix kmsg_dump_get_buffer() to compensate for this.

For example, with the following two final prints:

[    6.427502] AAAAAAAAAAAAA
[    6.427769] BBBBBBBB12345

commit c9dccacfccc72c32692eedff4a27a4b0833a2afd upstream.

kmsg_dump_get_buffer() is supposed to select all the youngest log
messages which fit into the provided buffer.  It determines the correct
start index by using msg_print_text() with a NULL buffer to calculate
the size of each entry.  However, when performing the actual writes,
msg_print_text() only writes the entry to the buffer if the written len
is lesser than the size of the buffer.  So if the lengths of the
selected youngest log messages happen to precisely fill up the provided
buffer, the last log message is not included.

We don't want to modify msg_print_text() to fill up the buffer and start
returning a length which is equal to the size of the buffer, since
callers of its other users, such as kmsg_dump_get_line(), depend upon
the current behaviour.

Instead, fix kmsg_dump_get_buffer() to compensate for this.

For example, with the following two final prints:

[    6.427502] AAAAAAAAAAAAA
[    6.427769] BBBBBBBB12345

<title>kprobes: Prohibit probing on BUG() and WARN() address</title>

[ Upstream commit e336b4027775cb458dc713745e526fa1a1996b2a ]

Since BUG() and WARN() may use a trap (e.g. UD2 on x86) to
get the address where the BUG() has occurred, kprobes can not
do single-step out-of-line that instruction. So prohibit
probing on such address.

Without this fix, if someone put a kprobe on WARN(), the
kernel will crash with invalid opcode error instead of
outputing warning message, because kernel can not find
correct bug address.

[ Upstream commit 77c84dd1881d0f0176cb678d770bfbda26c54390 ]

Fast switching path only emits an event for the CPU of interest, whereas the
regular path emits an event for all the CPUs that had their frequency changed,
i.e. all the CPUs sharing the same policy.

With the current behavior, looking at cpu_frequency event for a given CPU that
is using the fast switching path will not give the correct frequency signal.

[ Upstream commit 692117c1f7a6770ed41dd8f277cd9fed1dfb16f1 ]

Warning when p == NULL and then proceeding and dereferencing p does not
make any sense as the kernel will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
right away.

Bailing out when p == NULL and returning an error code does not cure the
underlying problem which caused p to be NULL. Though it might allow to
do proper debugging.

Same applies to the clock id check in set_process_cpu_timer().

Clean them up and make them return without trying to do further damage.

[ Upstream commit e78a7614f3876ac649b3df608789cb6ef74d0480 ]

Scheduling-clock interrupts can arrive late in the CPU-offline process,
after idle entry and the subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead().
Once execution passes the call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring
the CPU, which results in lockdep complaints when the interrupt handler
uses RCU:

This commit uses the crude but effective expedient of moving the disabling
of interrupts within the idle loop to precede the cpu_is_offline()
check.  It also invokes tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() instead of
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick_protected() to shut off the scheduling-clock
interrupt.

[ Upstream commit a46d14eca7b75fffe35603aa8b81df654353d80f ]

Enabling WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK in /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features causes
warning to fire in update_rq_clock. This seems to be caused by onlining
a new fair sched group not using the rq lock wrappers.

Using the wrappers in online_fair_sched_group instead of the raw locking
removes this warning.
