[ Upstream commit 756125289285f6e55a03861bf4b6257aa3d19a93 ]

This patch ensures that we always check the netlink payload length
in audit_receive_msg() before we take any action on the payload
itself.

commit 2ad3e17ebf94b7b7f3f64c050ff168f9915345eb upstream.

Commit 219ca39427bf ("audit: use union for audit_field values since
they are mutually exclusive") combined a number of separate fields in
the audit_field struct into a single union.  Generally this worked
just fine because they are generally mutually exclusive.
Unfortunately in audit_data_to_entry() the overlap can be a problem
when a specific error case is triggered that causes the error path
code to attempt to cleanup an audit_field struct and the cleanup
involves attempting to free a stored LSM string (the lsm_str field).
Currently the code always has a non-NULL value in the
audit_field.lsm_str field as the top of the for-loop transfers a
value into audit_field.val (both .lsm_str and .val are part of the
same union); if audit_data_to_entry() fails and the audit_field
struct is specified to contain a LSM string, but the
audit_field.lsm_str has not yet been properly set, the error handling
code will attempt to free the bogus audit_field.lsm_str value that
was set with audit_field.val at the top of the for-loop.

This patch corrects this by ensuring that the audit_field.val is only
set when needed (it is cleared when the audit_field struct is
allocated with kcalloc()).  It also corrects a few other issues to
ensure that in case of error the proper error code is returned.

[ Upstream commit dfb6cd1e654315168e36d947471bd2a0ccd834ae ]

Looking through old emails in my INBOX, I came across a patch from Luis
Henriques that attempted to fix a race of two stat tracers registering the
same stat trace (extremely unlikely, as this is done in the kernel, and
probably doesn't even exist). The submitted patch wasn't quite right as it
needed to deal with clean up a bit better (if two stat tracers were the
same, it would have the same files).

But to make the code cleaner, all we needed to do is to keep the
all_stat_sessions_mutex held for most of the registering function.

[ Upstream commit 45178ac0cea853fe0e405bf11e101bdebea57b15 ]

Paul reported a very sporadic, rcutorture induced, workqueue failure.
When the planets align, the workqueue rescuer's self-migrate fails and
then triggers a WARN for running a work on the wrong CPU.

Tejun then figured that set_cpus_allowed_ptr()'s stop_one_cpu() call
could be ignored! When stopper-&gt;enabled is false, stop_machine will
insta complete the work, without actually doing the work. Worse, it
will not WARN about this (we really should fix this).

It turns out there is a small window where a freshly online'ed CPU is
marked 'online' but doesn't yet have the stopper task running:

	BP				AP

	bringup_cpu()
	  __cpu_up(cpu, idle)	 --&gt;	start_secondary()
					...
					cpu_startup_entry()
	  bringup_wait_for_ap()
	    wait_for_ap_thread() &lt;--	  cpuhp_online_idle()
					  while (1)
					    do_idle()

					... available to run kthreads ...

	    stop_machine_unpark()
	      stopper-&gt;enable = true;

Close this by moving the stop_machine_unpark() into
cpuhp_online_idle(), such that the stopper thread is ready before we
start the idle loop and schedule.

commit 07928d9bfc81640bab36f5190e8725894d93b659 upstream.

The function padata_flush_queues is fundamentally broken because
it cannot force padata users to complete the request that is
underway.  IOW padata has to passively wait for the completion
of any outstanding work.

As it stands flushing is used in two places.  Its use in padata_stop
is simply unnecessary because nothing depends on the queues to
be flushed afterwards.

The other use in padata_replace is more substantial as we depend
on it to free the old pd structure.  This patch instead uses the
pd-&gt;refcnt to dynamically free the pd structure once all requests
are complete.

<title>perf/core: Fix mlock accounting in perf_mmap()</title>

commit 003461559ef7a9bd0239bae35a22ad8924d6e9ad upstream.

Decreasing sysctl_perf_event_mlock between two consecutive perf_mmap()s of
a perf ring buffer may lead to an integer underflow in locked memory
accounting. This may lead to the undesired behaviors, such as failures in
BPF map creation.

Address this by adjusting the accounting logic to take into account the
possibility that the amount of already locked memory may exceed the
current limit.

<title>clocksource: Prevent double add_timer_on() for watchdog_timer</title>

commit febac332a819f0e764aa4da62757ba21d18c182b upstream.

Kernel crashes inside QEMU/KVM are observed:

  kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:1154!
  BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer-&gt;function) in add_timer_on().

At the same time another cpu got:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI of poinson pointer 0xdead000000000200 in:

  __hlist_del at include/linux/list.h:681
  (inlined by) detach_timer at kernel/time/timer.c:818
  (inlined by) expire_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1355
  (inlined by) __run_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1686
  (inlined by) run_timer_softirq at kernel/time/timer.c:1699

Unfortunately kernel logs are badly scrambled, stacktraces are lost.

Printing the timer-&gt;function before the BUG_ON() pointed to
clocksource_watchdog().

The execution of clocksource_watchdog() can race with a sequence of
clocksource_stop_watchdog() .. clocksource_start_watchdog():

expire_timers()
 detach_timer(timer, true);
  timer-&gt;entry.pprev = NULL;
 raw_spin_unlock_irq(&amp;base-&gt;lock);
 call_timer_fn
  clocksource_watchdog()

					clocksource_watchdog_kthread() or
					clocksource_unbind()

					spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;watchdog_lock, flags);
					clocksource_stop_watchdog();
					 del_timer(&amp;watchdog_timer);
					 watchdog_running = 0;
					spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;watchdog_lock, flags);

					spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;watchdog_lock, flags);
					clocksource_start_watchdog();
					 add_timer_on(&amp;watchdog_timer, ...);
					 watchdog_running = 1;
					spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;watchdog_lock, flags);

  spin_lock(&amp;watchdog_lock);
  add_timer_on(&amp;watchdog_timer, ...);
   BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer-&gt;function);
    timer_pending() -&gt; true
    BUG()

I.e. inside clocksource_watchdog() watchdog_timer could be already armed.

Check timer_pending() before calling add_timer_on(). This is sufficient as
all operations are synchronized by watchdog_lock.
