notify_down_prepare: attempt to take down CPU 0 failed

This bug can be reproduced by below config w/ nohz_full= all cpus:

CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0=y
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

As Thomas pointed out:

| If a down prepare callback fails, then DOWN_FAILED is invoked for all
| callbacks which have successfully executed DOWN_PREPARE.
|
| But, workqueue has actually two notifiers. One which handles
| UP/DOWN_FAILED/ONLINE and one which handles DOWN_PREPARE.
|
| Now look at the priorities of those callbacks:
|
| CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE_UP        = 5
| CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE_DOWN      = -5
|
| So the call order on DOWN_PREPARE is:
|
| CB 1
| CB ...
| CB workqueue_up() -&gt; Ignores DOWN_PREPARE
| CB ...
| CB X ---&gt; Fails
|
| So we call up to CB X with DOWN_FAILED
|
| CB 1
| CB ...
| CB workqueue_up() -&gt; Handles DOWN_FAILED
| CB ...
| CB X-1
|
| So the problem is that the workqueue stuff handles DOWN_FAILED in the up
| callback, while it should do it in the down callback. Which is not a good idea
| either because it wants to be called early on rollback...
|
| Brilliant stuff, isn't it? The hotplug rework will solve this problem because
| the callbacks become symetric, but for the existing mess, we need some
| workaround in the workqueue code.

The boot CPU handles housekeeping duty(unbound timers, workqueues,
timekeeping, ...) on behalf of full dynticks CPUs. It must remain
online when nohz full is enabled. There is a priority set to every
notifier_blocks:

workqueue_cpu_up &gt; tick_nohz_cpu_down &gt; workqueue_cpu_down

So tick_nohz_cpu_down callback failed when down prepare cpu 0, and
notifier_blocks behind tick_nohz_cpu_down will not be called any
more, which leads to workers are actually not unbound. Then hotplug
state machine will fallback to undo and online cpu 0 again. Workers
will be rebound unconditionally even if they are not unbound and
trigger the warning in this progress.

This patch fix it by catching !DISASSOCIATED to avoid rebind bound
workers.

<title>perf/core: Disable the event on a truncated AUX record</title>

commit 9f448cd3cbcec8995935e60b27802ae56aac8cc0 upstream.

When the PMU driver reports a truncated AUX record, it effectively means
that there is no more usable room in the event's AUX buffer (even though
there may still be some room, so that perf_aux_output_begin() doesn't take
action). At this point the consumer still has to be woken up and the event
has to be disabled, otherwise the event will just keep spinning between
perf_aux_output_begin() and perf_aux_output_end() until its context gets
unscheduled.

Again, for cpu-wide events this means never, so once in this condition,
they will be forever losing data.

Fix this by disabling the event and waking up the consumer in case of a
truncated AUX record.

The commit 35578d798400 ("bpf: Implement function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the selected hardware PMU conuter")
introduced clever way to check bpf_helper&lt;-&gt;map_type compatibility.

[ Upstream commit 8358b02bf67d3a5d8a825070e1aa73f25fb2e4c7 ]

When bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, ...) was invoked with a BPF program whose bytecode
references a non-map file descriptor as a map file descriptor, the error
handling code called fdput() twice instead of once (in __bpf_map_get() and
in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()). If the file descriptor table of the
current task is shared, this causes f_count to be decremented too much,
allowing the struct file to be freed while it is still in use
(use-after-free). This can be exploited to gain root privileges by an
unprivileged user.

This bug was introduced in
commit 0246e64d9a5f ("bpf: handle pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insn"), but is only
exploitable since
commit 1be7f75d1668 ("bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs") because
previously, CAP_SYS_ADMIN was required to reach the vulnerable code.

[ Upstream commit d82bccc69041a51f7b7b9b4a36db0772f4cdba21 ]

verifier must check for reserved size bits in instruction opcode and
reject BPF_LD | BPF_ABS | BPF_DW and BPF_LD | BPF_IND | BPF_DW instructions,
otherwise interpreter will WARN_RATELIMIT on them during execution.

commit 854145e0a8e9a05f7366d240e2f99d9c1ca6d6dd upstream.

Currently register functions for events will be called
through the 'reg' field of event class directly without
any check when seting up triggers.

Triggers for events that don't support register through
debug fs (events under events/ftrace are for trace-cmd to
read event format, and most of them don't have a register
function except events/ftrace/functionx) can't be enabled
at all, and an oops will be hit when setting up trigger
for those events, so just not creating them is an easy way
to avoid the oops.

commit 8fdc65391c6ad16461526a685f03262b3b01bfde upstream.

Stephane reported that commit:

  3cbaa5906967 ("perf: Fix ctx time tracking by introducing EVENT_TIME")

introduced a regression wrt. time tracking, as easily observed by:

&gt; This patch introduce a bug in the time tracking of events when
&gt; multiplexing is used.
&gt;
&gt; The issue is easily reproducible with the following perf run:
&gt;
&gt;  $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e branches,branches,branches,branches,branches,branches -I 1000
&gt;      1.000730239            652,394      branches   (66.41%)
&gt;      1.000730239            597,809      branches   (66.41%)
&gt;      1.000730239            593,870      branches   (66.63%)
&gt;      1.000730239            651,440      branches   (67.03%)
&gt;      1.000730239            656,725      branches   (66.96%)
&gt;      1.000730239      &lt;not counted&gt;      branches
&gt;
&gt; One branches event is shown as not having run. Yet, with
&gt; multiplexing, all events should run especially with a 1s (-I 1000)
&gt; interval. The delta for time_running comes out to 0. Yet, the event
&gt; has run because the kernel is actually multiplexing the events. The
&gt; problem is that the time tracking is the kernel and especially in
&gt; ctx_sched_out() is wrong now.
&gt;
&gt; The problem is that in case that the kernel enters ctx_sched_out() with the
&gt; following state:
&gt;    ctx-&gt;is_active=0x7 event_type=0x1
&gt;    Call Trace:
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff813ddd41&gt;] dump_stack+0x63/0x82
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff81182bdc&gt;] ctx_sched_out+0x2bc/0x2d0
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff81183896&gt;] perf_mux_hrtimer_handler+0xf6/0x2c0
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff811837a0&gt;] ? __perf_install_in_context+0x130/0x130
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff810f5818&gt;] __hrtimer_run_queues+0xf8/0x2f0
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff810f6097&gt;] hrtimer_interrupt+0xb7/0x1d0
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff810509a8&gt;] local_apic_timer_interrupt+0x38/0x60
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff8175ca9d&gt;] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x3d/0x50
&gt;     [&lt;ffffffff8175ac7c&gt;] apic_timer_interrupt+0x8c/0xa0
&gt;
&gt; In that case, the test:
&gt;       if (is_active &amp; EVENT_TIME)
&gt;
&gt; will be false and the time will not be updated. Time must always be updated on
&gt; sched out.

Fix this by always updating time if EVENT_TIME was set, as opposed to
only updating time when EVENT_TIME changed.

commit 201c2f85bd0bc13b712d9c0b3d11251b182e06ae upstream.

In the error path, event_file not being NULL is used to determine
whether the event itself still needs to be free'd, so fix it up to
avoid leaking.

commit 920c720aa5aa3900a7f1689228fdfc2580a91e7e upstream.

Similar to commit b4b29f94856a ("locking/osq: Fix ordering of node
initialisation in osq_lock") the use of xchg_acquire() is
fundamentally broken with MCS like constructs.

Furthermore, it turns out we rely on the global transitivity of this
operation because the unlock path observes the pointer with a
READ_ONCE(), not an smp_load_acquire().

This is non-critical because the MCS code isn't actually used and
mostly serves as documentation, a stepping stone to the more complex
things we've build on top of the idea.
