[ Upstream commit a33121e5487b424339636b25c35d3a180eaa5f5e ]

In a case when a ptp chardev (like /dev/ptp0) is open but an underlying
device is removed, closing this file leads to a race. This reproduces
easily in a kvm virtual machine:

ts# cat openptp0.c
int main() { ... fp = fopen("/dev/ptp0", "r"); ... sleep(10); }
ts# uname -r
5.5.0-rc3-46cf053e
ts# cat /proc/cmdline
... slub_debug=FZP
ts# modprobe ptp_kvm
ts# ./openptp0 &amp;
[1] 670
opened /dev/ptp0, sleeping 10s...
ts# rmmod ptp_kvm
ts# ls /dev/ptp*
ls: cannot access '/dev/ptp*': No such file or directory
ts# ...woken up

[   48.045001] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

This happens in:

static void __fput(struct file *file)
{   ...
    if (file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release)
        file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release(inode, file); &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev is kfree'd here
    if (unlikely(S_ISCHR(inode-&gt;i_mode) &amp;&amp; inode-&gt;i_cdev != NULL &amp;&amp;
             !(mode &amp; FMODE_PATH))) {
        cdev_put(inode-&gt;i_cdev); &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev fields are accessed here

Namely:

__fput()
  posix_clock_release()
    kref_put(&amp;clk-&gt;kref, delete_clock) &lt;&lt;&lt; the last reference
      delete_clock()
        delete_ptp_clock()
          kfree(ptp) &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev is embedded in ptp
  cdev_put
    module_put(p-&gt;owner) &lt;&lt;&lt; *p is kfree'd, bang!

Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock.
The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two
refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong.

Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add()
created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its
ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released.
This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct
device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead
of a simple dev_t.

This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix
the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See
details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add
helper function to register char devs with a struct device").

commit 56144737e67329c9aaed15f942d46a6302e2e3d8 upstream.

syzbot reported various data-race caused by hrtimer_is_queued() reading
timer-&gt;state. A READ_ONCE() is required there to silence the warning.

Also add the corresponding WRITE_ONCE() when timer-&gt;state is set.

In remove_hrtimer() the hrtimer_is_queued() helper is open coded to avoid
loading timer-&gt;state twice.

KCSAN reported these cases:

<title>kernel: sysctl: make drop_caches write-only</title>

[ Upstream commit 204cb79ad42f015312a5bbd7012d09c93d9b46fb ]

Currently, the drop_caches proc file and sysctl read back the last value
written, suggesting this is somehow a stateful setting instead of a
one-time command.  Make it write-only, like e.g.  compact_memory.

While mitigating a VM problem at scale in our fleet, there was confusion
about whether writing to this file will permanently switch the kernel into
a non-caching mode.  This influences the decision making in a tense
situation, where tens of people are trying to fix tens of thousands of
affected machines: Do we need a rollback strategy?  What are the
performance implications of operating in a non-caching state for several
days?  It also caused confusion when the kernel team said we may need to
write the file several times to make sure it's effective ("But it already
reads back 3?").

debug_dma_dump_mappings() can take a lot of cpu cycles :

<title>cpufreq: Avoid leaving stale IRQ work items during CPU offline</title>

<id>e82f0540a020da549702e042bbfbe633d6175ac1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 85572c2c4a45a541e880e087b5b17a48198b2416 upstream.

The scheduler code calling cpufreq_update_util() may run during CPU
offline on the target CPU after the IRQ work lists have been flushed
for it, so the target CPU should be prevented from running code that
may queue up an IRQ work item on it at that point.

Unfortunately, that may not be the case if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu
is set for at least one cpufreq policy in the system, because that
allows the CPU going offline to run the utilization update callback
of the cpufreq governor on behalf of another (online) CPU in some
cases.

If that happens, the cpufreq governor callback may queue up an IRQ
work on the CPU running it, which is going offline, and the IRQ work
may not be flushed after that point.  Moreover, that IRQ work cannot
be flushed until the "offlining" CPU goes back online, so if any
other CPU calls irq_work_sync() to wait for the completion of that
IRQ work, it will have to wait until the "offlining" CPU is back
online and that may not happen forever.  In particular, a system-wide
deadlock may occur during CPU online as a result of that.

The failing scenario is as follows.  CPU0 is the boot CPU, so it
creates a cpufreq policy and becomes the "leader" of it
(policy-&gt;cpu).  It cannot go offline, because it is the boot CPU.
Next, other CPUs join the cpufreq policy as they go online and they
leave it when they go offline.  The last CPU to go offline, say CPU3,
may queue up an IRQ work while running the governor callback on
behalf of CPU0 after leaving the cpufreq policy because of the
dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu effect described above.  Then, CPU0 is
the only online CPU in the system and the stale IRQ work is still
queued on CPU3.  When, say, CPU1 goes back online, it will run
irq_work_sync() to wait for that IRQ work to complete and so it
will wait for CPU3 to go back online (which may never happen even
in principle), but (worse yet) CPU0 is waiting for CPU1 at that
point too and a system-wide deadlock occurs.

To address this problem notice that CPUs which cannot run cpufreq
utilization update code for themselves (for example, because they
have left the cpufreq policies that they belonged to), should also
be prevented from running that code on behalf of the other CPUs that
belong to a cpufreq policy with dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu set and so
in that case the cpufreq_update_util_data pointer of the CPU running
the code must not be NULL as well as for the CPU which is the target
of the cpufreq utilization update in progress.

Accordingly, change cpufreq_this_cpu_can_update() into a regular
function in kernel/sched/cpufreq.c (instead of a static inline in a
header file) and make it check the cpufreq_update_util_data pointer
of the local CPU if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu is set for the target
cpufreq policy.

Also update the schedutil governor to do the
cpufreq_this_cpu_can_update() check in the non-fast-switch
case too to avoid the stale IRQ work issues.

[ Upstream commit c7411a1a126f649be71526a36d4afac9e5aefa13 ]

Check whether the non-suffixed symbol is notrace, since suffixed
symbols are generated by the compilers for optimization. Based on
these suffixed symbols, notrace check might not work because
some of them are just a partial code of the original function.
(e.g. cold-cache (unlikely) code is separated from original
 function as FUNCTION.cold.XX)

For example, without this fix,
  # echo p device_add.cold.67 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  sh: write error: Invalid argument

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/error_log
  [  135.491035] trace_kprobe: error: Failed to register probe event
    Command: p device_add.cold.67
               ^
  # dmesg | tail -n 1
  [  135.488599] trace_kprobe: Could not probe notrace function device_add.cold.67

With this,
  # echo p device_add.cold.66 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
  ffffffff81599de9  k  device_add.cold.66+0x0    [DISABLED]

Actually, kprobe blacklist already did similar thing,

[ Upstream commit eac9153f2b584c702cea02c1f1a57d85aa9aea42 ]

bpf stackmap with build-id lookup (BPF_F_STACK_BUILD_ID) can trigger A-A
deadlock on rq_lock():

rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
[...]
Call Trace:
 try_to_wake_up+0x1ad/0x590

 do_syscall_64+0x42/0x100
 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

This can be reproduced by:
1. Start a multi-thread program that does parallel mmap() and malloc();
2. taskset the program to 2 CPUs;
3. Attach bpf program to trace_sched_switch and gather stackmap with
   build-id, e.g. with trace.py from bcc tools:
   trace.py -U -p &lt;pid&gt; -s &lt;some-bin,some-lib&gt; t:sched:sched_switch

A sample reproducer is attached at the end.

This could also trigger deadlock with other locks that are nested with
rq_lock.

Fix this by checking whether irqs are disabled. Since rq_lock and all
other nested locks are irq safe, it is safe to do up_read() when irqs are
not disable. If the irqs are disabled, postpone up_read() in irq_work.

<title>kernel/module.c: wakeup processes in module_wq on module unload</title>

[ Upstream commit 5d603311615f612320bb77bd2a82553ef1ced5b7 ]

Fix the race between load and unload a kernel module.

sys_delete_module()
 try_stop_module()
  mod-&gt;state = _GOING
					add_unformed_module()
					 old = find_module_all()
					 (old-&gt;state == _GOING =&gt;
					  wait_event_interruptible())

					 During pre-condition
					 finished_loading() rets 0
					 schedule()
					 (never gets waken up later)
 free_module()
  mod-&gt;state = _UNFORMED
   list_del_rcu(&amp;mod-&gt;list)
   (dels mod from "modules" list)

return

The race above leads to modprobe hanging forever on loading
a module.

Error paths on loading module call wake_up_all(&amp;module_wq) after
freeing module, so let's do the same on straight module unload.
