[ Upstream commit 2a1a3fa0f29270583f0e6e3100d609e09697add1 ]

An arm64 kernel configured with

  CONFIG_KPROBES=y
  CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
  # CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is not set
  CONFIG_KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE=y

reports the following kprobe failure:

  [    0.032677] kprobes: failed to populate blacklist: -22
  [    0.033376] Please take care of using kprobes.

It appears that kprobe fails to retrieve the symbol at address
0xffff000010081000, despite this symbol being in System.map:

  ffff000010081000 T __exception_text_start

This symbol is part of the first group of aliases in the
kallsyms_offsets array (symbol names generated using ugly hacks in
scripts/kallsyms.c):

  kallsyms_offsets:
          .long   0x1000 // do_undefinstr
          .long   0x1000 // efi_header_end
          .long   0x1000 // _stext
          .long   0x1000 // __exception_text_start
          .long   0x12b0 // do_cp15instr

Looking at the implementation of get_symbol_pos(), it returns the
lowest index for aliasing symbols. In this case, it return 0.

But kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() considers 0 as a failure, which
is obviously wrong (there is definitely a valid symbol living there).
In turn, the kprobe blacklisting stops abruptly, hence the original
error.

A CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL kernel wouldn't fail as there is always
some random symbols at the beginning of this array, which are never
looked up via kallsyms_lookup_size_offset.

Fix it by considering that get_symbol_pos() is always successful
(which is consistent with the other uses of this function).

<title>modules: always page-align module section allocations</title>

commit 38f054d549a869f22a02224cd276a27bf14b6171 upstream.

Some arches (e.g., arm64, x86) have moved towards non-executable
module_alloc() allocations for security hardening reasons. That means
that the module loader will need to set the text section of a module to
executable, regardless of whether or not CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set.

When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y, module section allocations are always
page-aligned to handle memory rwx permissions. On some arches with
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n however, when setting the module text to
executable, the BUG_ON() in frob_text() gets triggered since module
section allocations are not page-aligned when CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n.
Since the set_memory_* API works with pages, and since we need to call
set_memory_x() regardless of whether CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set, we
might as well page-align all module section allocations for ease of
managing rwx permissions of module sections (text, rodata, etc).

commit 93651f80dcb616b8c9115cdafc8e57a781af22d0 upstream.

If CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not defined,
we need stub for module_enable_nx() and module_enable_x().

If CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is defined, but
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is disabled, we need stub for
module_enable_nx.

Move frob_text() outside of the CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX,
because it is needed anyway.

commit bc6f2a757d525e001268c3658bd88822e768f8db upstream.

In module_add_modinfo_attrs if sysfs_create_file
fails, we forget to free allocated modinfo_attrs
and roll back the sysfs files.

<title>genirq: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in resend_irqs()</title>

commit eddf3e9c7c7e4d0707c68d1bb22cc6ec8aef7d4a upstream.

The following crash was observed:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000158
  Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP
  pc : resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0
  lr : resend_irqs+0x64/0xb0
  ...
  Call trace:
   resend_irqs+0x68/0xb0
   tasklet_action_common.isra.6+0x84/0x138
   tasklet_action+0x2c/0x38

   smpboot_thread_fn+0x1ac/0x1e8
   kthread+0x134/0x138
   ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18

The reason for this is that the interrupt resend mechanism happens in soft
interrupt context, which is a asynchronous mechanism versus other
operations on interrupts. free_irq() does not take resend handling into
account. Thus, the irq descriptor might be already freed before the resend
tasklet is executed. resend_irqs() does not check the return value of the
interrupt descriptor lookup and derefences the return value
unconditionally.

  1):
  __setup_irq
    irq_startup
      check_irq_resend  // activate softirq to handle resend irq
  2):
  irq_domain_free_irqs
    irq_free_descs
      free_desc
        call_rcu(&amp;desc-&gt;rcu, delayed_free_desc)
  3):
  __do_softirq
    tasklet_action
      resend_irqs
        desc = irq_to_desc(irq)
        desc-&gt;handle_irq(desc)  // desc is NULL --&gt; Ooops

Fix this by adding a NULL pointer check in resend_irqs() before derefencing
the irq descriptor.

commit 97a61369830ab085df5aed0ff9256f35b07d425a upstream.

If a new child cgroup is created in the frozen cgroup hierarchy
(one or more of ancestor cgroups is frozen), the CGRP_FREEZE cgroup
flag should be set. Otherwise if a process will be attached to the
child cgroup, it won't become frozen.

The problem can be reproduced with the test_cgfreezer_mkdir test.

This is the output before this patch:
  ~/test_freezer
  ok 1 test_cgfreezer_simple
  ok 2 test_cgfreezer_tree
  ok 3 test_cgfreezer_forkbomb

  ok 7 test_cgfreezer_ptrace

<title>sched/fair: Don't assign runtime for throttled cfs_rq</title>

commit 5e2d2cc2588bd3307ce3937acbc2ed03c830a861 upstream.

do_sched_cfs_period_timer() will refill cfs_b runtime and call
distribute_cfs_runtime to unthrottle cfs_rq, sometimes cfs_b-&gt;runtime
will allocate all quota to one cfs_rq incorrectly, then other cfs_rqs
attached to this cfs_b can't get runtime and will be throttled.

We find that one throttled cfs_rq has non-negative
cfs_rq-&gt;runtime_remaining and cause an unexpetced cast from s64 to u64
in snippet:

  distribute_cfs_runtime() {
    runtime = -cfs_rq-&gt;runtime_remaining + 1;
  }

The runtime here will change to a large number and consume all
cfs_b-&gt;runtime in this cfs_b period.

According to Ben Segall, the throttled cfs_rq can have
account_cfs_rq_runtime called on it because it is throttled before
idle_balance, and the idle_balance calls update_rq_clock to add time
that is accounted to the task.

This commit prevents cfs_rq to be assgined new runtime if it has been
throttled until that distribute_cfs_runtime is called.

                                lock(module_mutex);
   lock(text_mutex);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

As a reproducer I've been using bcc's funccount.py
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/funccount.py),
for example:

 # ./funccount.py '*interrupt*'

That immediately triggers the lockdep splat.

Fix by acquiring text_mutex before module_mutex in kprobe_optimizer().

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(module_mutex);
                                lock(text_mutex);
                                lock(module_mutex);
   lock(text_mutex);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

As a reproducer I've been using bcc's funccount.py
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/funccount.py),
for example:

 # ./funccount.py '*interrupt*'

That immediately triggers the lockdep splat.

Fix by acquiring text_mutex before module_mutex in kprobe_optimizer().

[ Upstream commit b0fdc01354f45d43f082025636ef808968a27b36 ]

If a task is PI-blocked (blocking on sleeping spinlock) then we don't want to
schedule a new kworker if we schedule out due to lock contention because !RT
does not do that as well. A spinning spinlock disables preemption and a worker
does not schedule out on lock contention (but spin).

On RT the RW-semaphore implementation uses an rtmutex so
tsk_is_pi_blocked() will return true if a task blocks on it. In this case we
will now start a new worker which may deadlock if one worker is waiting on
progress from another worker. Since a RW-semaphore starts a new worker on !RT,
we should do the same on RT.

XFS is able to trigger this deadlock.

Allow to schedule new worker if the current worker is PI-blocked.
