[ Upstream commit 6d6b8b9f4fceab7266ca03d194f60ec72bd4b654 ]

The error handling introduced by commit:

  2ed6edd33a21 ("perf: Add cond_resched() to task_function_call()")

looses any return value from smp_call_function_single() that is not
{0, -EINVAL}. This is a problem because it will return -EXNIO when the
target CPU is offline. Worse, in that case it'll turn into an infinite
loop.

<title>ftrace: Move RCU is watching check after recursion check</title>

commit b40341fad6cc2daa195f8090fd3348f18fff640a upstream.

The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do
is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when
"rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing
to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before
function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an
infinite recursion loop.

rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should
never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the
first thing done in callback functions.

<title>usermodehelper: reset umask to default before executing user process</title>

commit 4013c1496c49615d90d36b9d513eee8e369778e9 upstream.

Kernel threads intentionally do CLONE_FS in order to follow any changes
that 'init' does to set up the root directory (or cwd).

It is admittedly a bit odd, but it avoids the situation where 'init'
does some extensive setup to initialize the system environment, and then
we execute a usermode helper program, and it uses the original FS setup
from boot time that may be very limited and incomplete.

[ Both Al Viro and Eric Biederman point out that 'pivot_root()' will
  follow the root regardless, since it fixes up other users of root (see
  chroot_fs_refs() for details), but overmounting root and doing a
  chroot() would not. ]

However, Vegard Nossum noticed that the CLONE_FS not only means that we
follow the root and current working directories, it also means we share
umask with whatever init changed it to. That wasn't intentional.

Just reset umask to the original default (0022) before actually starting
the usermode helper program.

commit 3031313eb3d549b7ad6f9fbcc52ba04412e3eb9e upstream.

Commit 0cb2f1372baa ("kprobes: Fix NULL pointer dereference at
kprobe_ftrace_handler") fixed one bug but not completely fixed yet.
If we run a kprobe_module.tc of ftracetest, kernel showed a warning
as below.

This is because the kill_kprobe() calls disarm_kprobe_ftrace() even
if the given probe is not enabled. In that case, ftrace_set_filter_ip()
fails because the given probe point is not registered to ftrace.

Fix to check the given (going) probe is enabled before invoking
disarm_kprobe_ftrace().

This is because the kill_kprobe() calls disarm_kprobe_ftrace() even
if the given probe is not enabled. In that case, ftrace_set_filter_ip()
fails because the given probe point is not registered to ftrace.

Fix to check the given (going) probe is enabled before invoking
disarm_kprobe_ftrace().

[ Upstream commit 48021f98130880dd74286459a1ef48b5e9bc374f ]

If uboot passes a blank string to console_setup then it results in
a trashed memory. Ultimately, the kernel crashes during freeing up
the memory.

This fix checks if there is a blank parameter being
passed to console_setup from uboot. In case it detects that
the console parameter is blank then it doesn't setup the serial
device and it gracefully exits.

[ Upstream commit bf2cbe044da275021b2de5917240411a19e5c50d ]

Clang warns:

../kernel/trace/trace.c:9335:33: warning: array comparison always
evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]
        if (__stop___trace_bprintk_fmt != __start___trace_bprintk_fmt)
                                       ^
1 warning generated.

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are
just addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning and
does not change the runtime result of the check (tested with some print
statements compiled in with clang + ld.lld and gcc + ld.bfd in QEMU).

While unlikely the divisor in scale64_check_overflow() could be &gt;= 32bit in
scale64_check_overflow(). do_div() truncates the divisor to 32bit at least
on 32bit platforms.

Use div64_u64() instead to avoid the truncation to 32-bit.

If an element is freed via RCU then recursion into BPF instrumentation
functions is not a concern. The element is already detached from the map
and the RCU callback does not hold any locks on which a kprobe, perf event
or tracepoint attached BPF program could deadlock.

[ Upstream commit 70b3eeed49e8190d97139806f6fbaf8964306cdb ]

Common Criteria calls out for any action that modifies the audit trail to
be recorded. That usually is interpreted to mean insertion or removal of
rules. It is not required to log modification of the inode information
since the watch is still in effect. Additionally, if the rule is a never
rule and the underlying file is one they do not want events for, they
get an event for this bookkeeping update against their wishes.

Since no device/inode info is logged at insertion and no device/inode
information is logged on update, there is nothing meaningful being
communicated to the admin by the CONFIG_CHANGE updated_rules event. One
can assume that the rule was not "modified" because it is still watching
the intended target. If the device or inode cannot be resolved, then
audit_panic is called which is sufficient.

The correct resolution is to drop logging config_update events since
the watch is still in effect but just on another unknown inode.

[ Upstream commit cbc3b92ce037f5e7536f6db157d185cd8b8f615c ]

I noticed when trying to use the trace-cmd python interface that reading the raw
buffer wasn't working for kernel_stack events.  This is because it uses a
stubbed version of __dynamic_array that doesn't do the __data_loc trick and
encode the length of the array into the field.  Instead it just shows up as a
size of 0.  So change this to __array and set the len to FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES
since this is what we actually do in practice and matches how user_stack_trace
works.
