commit 013b2deba9a6b80ca02f4fafd7dedf875e9b4450 upstream.

uprobe_write_opcode() must not cross page boundary; prepare_uprobe()
relies on arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() which should validate "vaddr" but
some architectures (csky, s390, and sparc) don't do this.

We can remove the BUG_ON() check in prepare_uprobe() and validate the
offset early in __uprobe_register(). The new IS_ALIGNED() check matches
the alignment check in arch_prepare_kprobe() on supported architectures,
so I think that all insns must be aligned to UPROBE_SWBP_INSN_SIZE.

Another problem is __update_ref_ctr() which was wrong from the very
beginning, it can read/write outside of kmap'ed page unless "vaddr" is
aligned to sizeof(short), __uprobe_register() should check this too.

commit a33a5d2d16cb84bea8d5f5510f3a41aa48b5c467 upstream.

The generic pending interrupt mechanism moves interrupts from the interrupt
handler on the original target CPU to the new destination CPU. This is
required for x86 and ia64 due to the way the interrupt delivery and
acknowledge works if the interrupts are not remapped.

However that update can fail for various reasons. Some of them are valid
reasons to discard the pending update, but the case, when the previous move
has not been fully cleaned up is not a legit reason to fail.

Check the return value of irq_do_set_affinity() for -EBUSY, which indicates
a pending cleanup, and rearm the pending move in the irq dexcriptor so it's
tried again when the next interrupt arrives.

[ Upstream commit 6fc4dbcf0276279d488c5fbbfabe94734134f4fa ]

The function padata_reorder will use a timer when it cannot progress
while completed jobs are outstanding (pd-&gt;reorder_objects &gt; 0).  This
is suboptimal as if we do end up using the timer then it would have
introduced a gratuitous delay of one second.

In fact we can easily distinguish between whether completed jobs
are outstanding and whether we can make progress.  All we have to
do is look at the next pqueue list.

This patch does that by replacing pd-&gt;processed with pd-&gt;cpu so
that the next pqueue is more accessible.

A work queue is used instead of the original try_again to avoid
hogging the CPU.

Note that we don't bother removing the work queue in
padata_flush_queues because the whole premise is broken.  You
cannot flush async crypto requests so it makes no sense to even
try.  A subsequent patch will fix it by replacing it with a ref
counting scheme.

[ Upstream commit 1bd845bcb41d5b7f83745e0cb99273eb376f2ec5 ]

The parallel queue per-cpu data structure gets initialized only for CPUs
in the 'pcpu' CPU mask set. This is not sufficient as the reorder timer
may run on a different CPU and might wrongly decide it's the target CPU
for the next reorder item as per-cpu memory gets memset(0) and we might
be waiting for the first CPU in cpumask.pcpu, i.e. cpu_index 0.

Make the '__this_cpu_read(pd-&gt;pqueue-&gt;cpu_index) == next_queue-&gt;cpu_index'
compare in padata_get_next() fail in this case by initializing the
cpu_index member of all per-cpu parallel queues. Use -1 for unused ones.

<title>padata: ensure padata_do_serial() runs on the correct CPU</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 350ef88e7e922354f82a931897ad4a4ce6c686ff upstream.

If the algorithm we're parallelizing is asynchronous we might change
CPUs between padata_do_parallel() and padata_do_serial(). However, we
don't expect this to happen as we need to enqueue the padata object into
the per-cpu reorder queue we took it from, i.e. the same-cpu's parallel
queue.

Ensure we're not switching CPUs for a given padata object by tracking
the CPU within the padata object. If the serial callback gets called on
the wrong CPU, defer invoking padata_reorder() via a kernel worker on
the CPU we're expected to run on.

commit 350ef88e7e922354f82a931897ad4a4ce6c686ff upstream.

If the algorithm we're parallelizing is asynchronous we might change
CPUs between padata_do_parallel() and padata_do_serial(). However, we
don't expect this to happen as we need to enqueue the padata object into
the per-cpu reorder queue we took it from, i.e. the same-cpu's parallel
queue.

Ensure we're not switching CPUs for a given padata object by tracking
the CPU within the padata object. If the serial callback gets called on
the wrong CPU, defer invoking padata_reorder() via a kernel worker on
the CPU we're expected to run on.

commit cf5868c8a22dc2854b96e9569064bb92365549ca upstream.

The reorder timer function runs on the CPU where the timer interrupt was
handled which is not necessarily one of the CPUs of the 'pcpu' CPU mask
set.

Ensure the padata_reorder() callback runs on the correct CPU, which is
one in the 'pcpu' CPU mask set and, preferrably, the next expected one.
Do so by comparing the current CPU with the expected target CPU. If they
match, call padata_reorder() right away. If they differ, schedule a work
item on the target CPU that does the padata_reorder() call for us.

<title>padata: get_next is never NULL</title>

commit 69b348449bda0f9588737539cfe135774c9939a7 upstream.

Per Dan's static checker warning, the code that returns NULL was removed
in 2010, so this patch updates the comments and fixes the code
assumptions.

commit 119a0798dc42ed4c4f96d39b8b676efcea73aec6 upstream.

Remove the unused but set variable pinst in padata_parallel_worker to
fix the following warning when building with 'W=1':

  kernel/padata.c: In function ‘padata_parallel_worker’:
  kernel/padata.c:68:26: warning: variable ‘pinst’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Also remove the now unused variable pd which is only used to set pinst.
