commit 7d95f22798ecea513f37b792b39fec4bcf20fec3 upstream.

Here is the warning converted as error and reported by GCC:

  kernel/static_call.c: In function ‘__static_call_update’:
  kernel/static_call.c:153:18: error: unused variable ‘mod’ [-Werror=unused-variable]
    153 |   struct module *mod = site_mod-&gt;mod;
        |                  ^~~
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:271: kernel/static_call.o] Error 1

This is simply because since recently, we no longer use 'mod' variable
elsewhere if MODULE is unset.

When using 'make tinyconfig' to generate the default kconfig, MODULE is
unset.

There are different ways to fix this warning. Here I tried to minimised
the number of modified lines and not add more #ifdef. We could also move
the declaration of the 'mod' variable inside the if-statement or
directly use site_mod-&gt;mod.

<title>bpf: Fix potentially incorrect results with bpf_get_local_storage()</title>

commit a2baf4e8bb0f306fbed7b5e6197c02896a638ab5 upstream.

Commit b910eaaaa4b8 ("bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_get_local_storage()
helper") fixed a bug for bpf_get_local_storage() helper so different tasks
won't mess up with each other's percpu local storage.

The percpu data contains 8 slots so it can hold up to 8 contexts (same or
different tasks), for 8 different program runs, at the same time. This in
general is sufficient. But our internal testing showed the following warning
multiple times:

  [...]

Using drgn [0] to dump the percpu buffer contents showed that on this CPU
slot 0 is still available, but slots 1-7 are occupied and those tasks in
slots 1-7 mostly don't exist any more. So we might have issues in
bpf_cgroup_storage_unset().

Further debugging confirmed that there is a bug in bpf_cgroup_storage_unset().
Currently, it tries to unset "current" slot with searching from the start.
So the following sequence is possible:

  1. A task is running and claims slot 0
  2. Running BPF program is done, and it checked slot 0 has the "task"
     and ready to reset it to NULL (not yet).
  3. An interrupt happens, another BPF program runs and it claims slot 1
     with the *same* task.
  4. The unset() in interrupt context releases slot 0 since it matches "task".
  5. Interrupt is done, the task in process context reset slot 0.

At the end, slot 1 is not reset and the same process can continue to occupy
slots 2-7 and finally, when the above step 1-5 is repeated again, step 3 BPF
program won't be able to claim an empty slot and a warning will be issued.

To fix the issue, for unset() function, we should traverse from the last slot
to the first. This way, the above issue can be avoided.

The same reverse traversal should also be done in bpf_get_local_storage() helper
itself. Otherwise, incorrect local storage may be returned to BPF program.

<title>audit: move put_tree() to avoid trim_trees refcount underflow and UAF</title>

commit 67d69e9d1a6c889d98951c1d74b19332ce0565af upstream.

AUDIT_TRIM is expected to be idempotent, but multiple executions resulted
in a refcount underflow and use-after-free.

git bisect fingered commit fb041bb7c0a9	("locking/refcount: Consolidate
implementations of refcount_t") but this patch with its more thorough
checking that wasn't in the x86 assembly code merely exposed a previously
existing tree refcount imbalance in the case of tree trimming code that
was refactored with prune_one() to remove a tree introduced in
commit 8432c7006297 ("audit: Simplify locking around untag_chunk()")

Move the put_tree() to cover only the prune_one() case.

Passes audit-testsuite and 3 passes of "auditctl -t" with at least one
directory watch.

commit 67d69e9d1a6c889d98951c1d74b19332ce0565af upstream.

AUDIT_TRIM is expected to be idempotent, but multiple executions resulted
in a refcount underflow and use-after-free.

git bisect fingered commit fb041bb7c0a9	("locking/refcount: Consolidate
implementations of refcount_t") but this patch with its more thorough
checking that wasn't in the x86 assembly code merely exposed a previously
existing tree refcount imbalance in the case of tree trimming code that
was refactored with prune_one() to remove a tree introduced in
commit 8432c7006297 ("audit: Simplify locking around untag_chunk()")

Move the put_tree() to cover only the prune_one() case.

Passes audit-testsuite and 3 passes of "auditctl -t" with at least one
directory watch.

commit 3a7956e25e1d7b3c148569e78895e1f3178122a9 upstream.

The kthread_is_per_cpu() construct relies on only being called on
PF_KTHREAD tasks (per the WARN in to_kthread). This gives rise to the
following usage pattern:

	if ((p-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD) &amp;&amp; kthread_is_per_cpu(p))

However, as reported by syzcaller, this is broken. The scenario is:

	CPU0				CPU1 (running p)

	(p-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD) // true

					begin_new_exec()
					  me-&gt;flags &amp;= ~(PF_KTHREAD|...);
	kthread_is_per_cpu(p)
	  to_kthread(p)
	    WARN(!(p-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD) &lt;-- *SPLAT*

Introduce __to_kthread() that omits the WARN and is sure to check both
values.

Use this to remove the problematic pattern for kthread_is_per_cpu()
and fix a number of other kthread_*() functions that have similar
issues but are currently not used in ways that would expose the
problem.

Notably kthread_func() is only ever called on 'current', while
kthread_probe_data() is only used for PF_WQ_WORKER, which implies the
task is from kthread_create*().

<title>tracepoint: Use rcu get state and cond sync for static call updates</title>

commit 7b40066c97ec66a44e388f82fcf694987451768f upstream.

State transitions from 1-&gt;0-&gt;1 and N-&gt;2-&gt;1 callbacks require RCU
synchronization. Rather than performing the RCU synchronization every
time the state change occurs, which is quite slow when many tracepoints
are registered in batch, instead keep a snapshot of the RCU state on the
most recent transitions which belong to a chain, and conditionally wait
for a grace period on the last transition of the chain if one g.p. has
not elapsed since the last snapshot.

This applies to both RCU and SRCU.

This brings the performance regression caused by commit 231264d6927f
("Fix: tracepoint: static call function vs data state mismatch") back to
what it was originally.

<title>srcu: Provide polling interfaces for Tiny SRCU grace periods</title>

commit 8b5bd67cf6422b63ee100d76d8de8960ca2df7f0 upstream.

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace
periods, so this commit supplies get_state_synchronize_srcu(),
start_poll_synchronize_srcu(), and poll_state_synchronize_srcu() for this
purpose.  The first can be used if future grace periods are inevitable
(perhaps due to a later call_srcu() invocation), the second if future
grace periods might not otherwise happen, and the third to check if a
grace period has elapsed since the corresponding call to either of the
first two.

As with get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu(),
the return value from either get_state_synchronize_srcu() or
start_poll_synchronize_srcu() must be passed in to a later call to
poll_state_synchronize_srcu().

<title>srcu: Make Tiny SRCU use multi-bit grace-period counter</title>

commit 74612a07b83fc46c2b2e6f71a541d55b024ebefc upstream.

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace periods.  This
polling needs to distinguish between an SRCU instance being idle on the
one hand or in the middle of a grace period on the other.  This commit
therefore converts the Tiny SRCU srcu_struct structure's srcu_idx from
a defacto boolean to a free-running counter, using the bottom bit to
indicate that a grace period is in progress.  The second-from-bottom
bit is thus used as the index returned by srcu_read_lock().
