[ Upstream commit 7c56a8733d0a2a4be2438a7512566e5ce552fccf ]

In some circumstances it may be interesting to reconfigure the watchdog
from inside the kernel.

On PowerPC, this may helpful before and after a LPAR migration (LPM) is
initiated, because it implies some latencies, watchdog, and especially NMI
watchdog is expected to be triggered during this operation. Reconfiguring
the watchdog with a factor, would prevent it to happen too frequently
during LPM.

Rename lockup_detector_reconfigure() as __lockup_detector_reconfigure() and
create a new function lockup_detector_reconfigure() calling
__lockup_detector_reconfigure() under the protection of watchdog_mutex.

commit ef1e93d2eeb58a1f08c37b22a2314b94bc045f15 upstream.

bpf_iter_attach_map() acquires a map uref, and the uref may be released
before or in the middle of iterating map elements. For example, the uref
could be released in bpf_iter_detach_map() as part of
bpf_link_release(), or could be released in bpf_map_put_with_uref() as
part of bpf_map_release().

So acquiring an extra map uref in bpf_iter_init_hash_map() and
releasing it in bpf_iter_fini_hash_map().

bpf_iter_attach_map() acquires a map uref, and the uref may be released
before or in the middle of iterating map elements. For example, the uref
could be released in bpf_iter_detach_map() as part of
bpf_link_release(), or could be released in bpf_map_put_with_uref() as
part of bpf_map_release().

Alternative fix is acquiring an extra bpf_link reference just like
a pinned map iterator does, but it introduces unnecessary dependency
on bpf_link instead of bpf_map.

So choose another fix: acquiring an extra map uref in .init_seq_private
for array map iterator.

<title>bpf: Don't reinit map value in prealloc_lru_pop</title>

commit 275c30bcee66a27d1aa97a215d607ad6d49804cb upstream.

The LRU map that is preallocated may have its elements reused while
another program holds a pointer to it from bpf_map_lookup_elem. Hence,
only check_and_free_fields is appropriate when the element is being
deleted, as it ensures proper synchronization against concurrent access
of the map value. After that, we cannot call check_and_init_map_value
again as it may rewrite bpf_spin_lock, bpf_timer, and kptr fields while
they can be concurrently accessed from a BPF program.

This is safe to do as when the map entry is deleted, concurrent access
is protected against by check_and_free_fields, i.e. an existing timer
would be freed, and any existing kptr will be released by it. The
program can create further timers and kptrs after check_and_free_fields,
but they will eventually be released once the preallocated items are
freed on map destruction, even if the item is never reused again. Hence,
the deleted item sitting in the free list can still have resources
attached to it, and they would never leak.

With spin_lock, we never touch the field at all on delete or update, as
we may end up modifying the state of the lock. Since the verifier
ensures that a bpf_spin_lock call is always paired with bpf_spin_unlock
call, the program will eventually release the lock so that on reuse the
new user of the value can take the lock.

Essentially, for the preallocated case, we must assume that the map
value may always be in use by the program, even when it is sitting in
the freelist, and handle things accordingly, i.e. use proper
synchronization inside check_and_free_fields, and never reinitialize the
special fields when it is reused on update.

commit 86f44fcec22ce2979507742bc53db8400e454f46 upstream.

The verifier cannot perform sufficient validation of bpf_attr-&gt;test.ctx_in
pointer, therefore bpf programs should not be allowed to call BPF_PROG_RUN
command from within the program.
To fix this issue split bpf_sys_bpf() bpf helper into normal kern_sys_bpf()
kernel function that can only be used by the kernel light skeleton directly.

Make filtering consistent with histograms. As "cpu" can be a field of an
event, allow for "common_cpu" to keep it from being confused with the
"cpu" field of the event.

commit ab8384442ee512fc0fc72deeb036110843d0e7ff upstream.

Both $comm and $COMM can be used to get current-&gt;comm in eprobes and the
filtering and histogram logic. Make kprobes and uprobes consistent in this
regard and allow both $comm and $COMM as well. Currently kprobes and
uprobes only handle $comm, which is inconsistent with the other utilities,
and can be confusing to users.

commit 6a832ec3d680b3a4f4fad5752672827d71bae501 upstream.

Currently, if a symbol "@" is attempted to be used with an event probe
(eprobes), it will cause a NULL pointer dereference crash.

Both kprobes and uprobes can reference data other than the main registers.
Such as immediate address, symbols and the current task name. Have eprobes
do the same thing.

For "comm", if "comm" is used and the event being attached to does not
have the "comm" field, then make it the "$comm" that kprobes has. This is
consistent to the way histograms and filters work.

commit f04dec93466a0481763f3b56cdadf8076e28bfbf upstream.

Currently when an event probe (eprobe) hooks to a string field, it does
not display it as a string, but instead as a number. This makes the field
rather useless. Handle the different kinds of strings, dynamic, static,
relational/dynamic etc.

Now when a string field is used, the ":string" type can be used to display
it:

  echo "e:sw sched/sched_switch comm=$next_comm:string" &gt; dynamic_events

commit 02333de90e5945e2fe7fc75b15b4eb9aee187f0a upstream.

The variable $comm is hard coded as a string, which is true for both
kprobes and uprobes, but for event probes (eprobes) it is a field name. In
most cases the "comm" field would be a string, but there's no guarantee of
that fact.

Do not assume that comm is a string. Not to mention, it currently forces
comm fields to fault, as string processing for event probes is currently
broken.
