commit 4364e1a29be16b2783c0bcbc263f61236af64281 upstream.

virq is not required to be the same for all msi descs. Use the base irq number
from the desc in the debug printk.

commit 236dec051078a8691950f56949612b4b74107e48 upstream.

Using "make tinyconfig" produces a couple of annoying warnings that show
up for build test machines all the time:

    .config:966:warning: override: NOHIGHMEM changes choice state
    .config:965:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:963:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state
    .config:962:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
    .config:933:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:930:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
    .config:870:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:868:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state
    .config:867:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state

I've made a previous attempt at fixing them and we discussed a number of
alternatives.

I tried changing the Makefile to use "merge_config.sh -n
$(fragment-list)" but couldn't get that to work properly.

This is yet another approach, based on the observation that we do want
to see a warning for conflicting 'choice' options, and that we can
simply make them non-conflicting by listing all other options as
disabled.  This is a trivial patch that we can apply independent of
plans for other changes.

<title>sched/core: Fix a race between try_to_wake_up() and a woken up task</title>

commit 135e8c9250dd5c8c9aae5984fde6f230d0cbfeaf upstream.

The origin of the issue I've seen is related to
a missing memory barrier between check for task-&gt;state and
the check for task-&gt;on_rq.

The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule()
and is doing the following:

	do {
		schedule()
		set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE);
	} while (!cond);

The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in
try_to_wake_up():

	while (p-&gt;on_cpu)
		cpu_relax();

Analysis:

The instance I've seen involves the following race:

 CPU1					CPU2

 while () {
   if (cond)
     break;
   do {
     schedule();
     set_current_state(TASK_UN..)
   } while (!cond);
					wakeup_routine()
					  spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
   raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)	  wake_up_process()
 }					  try_to_wake_up()
 set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);	  ..
 list_del(&amp;waiter.list);

CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set
current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs:

 CPU3
 wakeup_routine()
 raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock)
 if (!list_empty)
   wake_up_process()
   try_to_wake_up()
   raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p-&gt;pi_lock)
   ..
   if (p-&gt;on_rq &amp;&amp; ttwu_wakeup())
   ..
   while (p-&gt;on_cpu)
     cpu_relax()
   ..

CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds
it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately
after CPU2, CPU3 got it.

CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and
the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p-&gt;on_rq
is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds
p-&gt;on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis,
but p-&gt;on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p-&gt;on_rq
check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible
(based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup
via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p-&gt;on_rq change is not
done uder the pi_lock.

The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on
the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely

Reproduction of the issue:

The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80
threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running
memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to
reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce
the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the
changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far.

Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.
Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing
bit in my theory.

A new task inherits cpus_allowed and mems_allowed masks from its parent,
but if someone changes cpuset's config by writing to cpuset.cpus/cpuset.mems
before this new task is inserted into the cgroup's task list, the new task
won't be updated accordingly.

commit 9049771f7d5490a302589976984810064c83ab40 upstream.

track_pfn_insert() in vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() is marking dax mappings as
uncacheable rendering them impractical for application usage.  DAX-pte
mappings are cached and the goal of establishing DAX-pmd mappings is to
attain more performance, not dramatically less (3 orders of magnitude).

track_pfn_insert() relies on a previous call to reserve_memtype() to
establish the expected page_cache_mode for the range.  While memremap()
arranges for reserve_memtype() to be called, devm_memremap_pages() does
not.  So, teach track_pfn_insert() and untrack_pfn() how to handle
tracking without a vma, and arrange for devm_memremap_pages() to
establish the write-back-cache reservation in the memtype tree.

Prior to the change the function would blindly deference mm, exe_file
and exe_file-&gt;f_inode, each of which could have been NULL or freed.

Use get_task_exe_file to safely obtain stable exe_file.

commit cd81a9170e69e018bbaba547c1fd85a585f5697a upstream.

For more convenient access if one has a pointer to the task.

As a minor nit take advantage of the fact that only task lock + rcu are
needed to safely grab -&gt;exe_file. This saves mm refcount dance.

Use the helper in proc_exe_link.

commit c11600e4fed67ae4cd6a8096936afd445410e8ed upstream.

KASAN allocates memory from the page allocator as part of
kmem_cache_free(), and that can reference current-&gt;mempolicy through any
number of allocation functions.  It needs to be NULL'd out before the
final reference is dropped to prevent a use-after-free bug:

	BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in alloc_pages_current+0x363/0x370 at addr ffff88010b48102c
	CPU: 0 PID: 15425 Comm: trinity-c2 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc2+ #140

		depot_save_stack
		save_stack
		kasan_slab_free
		kmem_cache_free
		__mpol_put		&lt;-- free
		do_exit

This patch sets current-&gt;mempolicy to NULL before dropping the final
reference.

<title>kexec: fix double-free when failing to relocate the purgatory</title>

commit 070c43eea5043e950daa423707ae3c77e2f48edb upstream.

If kexec_apply_relocations fails, kexec_load_purgatory frees pi-&gt;sechdrs
and pi-&gt;purgatory_buf.  This is redundant, because in case of error
kimage_file_prepare_segments calls kimage_file_post_load_cleanup, which
will also free those buffers.

This causes two warnings like the following, one for pi-&gt;sechdrs and the
other for pi-&gt;purgatory_buf:

  kexec-bzImage64: Loading purgatory failed

<title>bpf: fix method of PTR_TO_PACKET reg id generation</title>

[ Upstream commit 1f415a74b0ca64b5bfacbb12d71ed2ec050a8cfb ]

Using per-register incrementing ID can lead to
find_good_pkt_pointers() confusing registers which
have completely different values.  Consider example:

0: (bf) r6 = r1
1: (61) r8 = *(u32 *)(r6 +76)
2: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r6 +80)
3: (bf) r7 = r8
4: (07) r8 += 32
5: (2d) if r8 &gt; r0 goto pc+9
 R0=pkt_end R1=ctx R6=ctx R7=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=32) R8=pkt(id=0,off=32,r=32) R10=fp
6: (bf) r8 = r7
7: (bf) r9 = r7
8: (71) r1 = *(u8 *)(r7 +0)
9: (0f) r8 += r1
10: (71) r1 = *(u8 *)(r7 +1)
11: (0f) r9 += r1
12: (07) r8 += 32
13: (2d) if r8 &gt; r0 goto pc+1
 R0=pkt_end R1=inv56 R6=ctx R7=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=32) R8=pkt(id=1,off=32,r=32) R9=pkt(id=1,off=0,r=32) R10=fp
14: (71) r1 = *(u8 *)(r9 +16)
15: (b7) r7 = 0
16: (bf) r0 = r7
17: (95) exit

We need to get a UNKNOWN_VALUE with imm to force id
generation so lines 0-5 make r7 a valid packet pointer.
We then read two different bytes from the packet and
add them to copies of the constructed packet pointer.
r8 (line 9) and r9 (line 11) will get the same id of 1,
independently.  When either of them is validated (line
13) - find_good_pkt_pointers() will also mark the other
as safe.  This leads to access on line 14 being mistakenly
considered safe.
