[ Upstream commit 697d877849d4b34ab58d7078d6930bad0ef6fc66 ]

Commit:

  313ccb9615948 ("perf: Allocate context task_ctx_data for child event")

makes the inherit path skip over the current event in case of task_ctx_data
allocation failure. This, however, is inconsistent with allocation failures
in perf_event_alloc(), which would abort the fork.

Correct this by returning an error code on task_ctx_data allocation
failure and failing the fork in that case.

<title>sched/core: Avoid spurious lock dependencies</title>

[ Upstream commit ff51ff84d82aea5a889b85f2b9fb3aa2b8691668 ]

While seemingly harmless, __sched_fork() does hrtimer_init(), which,
when DEBUG_OBJETS, can end up doing allocations.

This then results in the following lock order:

  rq-&gt;lock
    zone-&gt;lock.rlock
      batched_entropy_u64.lock

Which in turn causes deadlocks when we do wakeups while holding that
batched_entropy lock -- as the random code does.

Solve this by moving __sched_fork() out from under rq-&gt;lock. This is
safe because nothing there relies on rq-&gt;lock, as also evident from the
other __sched_fork() callsite.

commit 7b8474466ed97be458c825f34a85f2c2b84c3f95 upstream.

On compat interfaces, the high order bits of nanoseconds should be zeroed
out. This is because the application code or the libc do not guarantee
zeroing of these. If used without zeroing, kernel might be at risk of using
timespec values incorrectly.

Originally it was handled correctly, but lost during is_compat_syscall()
cleanup. Revert the condition back to check CONFIG_64BIT.

[ Upstream commit b0c51f158455e31d5024100cf3580fcd88214b0e ]

When doing cat /proc/&lt;PID&gt;/stack, the output is missing the first entry.
When the current code walks the stack starting in stack_trace_save_tsk,
it skips all scheduler functions (that's OK) plus one more function. But
this one function should be skipped only for the 'current' task as it is
stack_trace_save_tsk proper.

The original code (before the common infrastructure) skipped one
function only for the 'current' task -- see save_stack_trace_tsk before
3599fe12a125. So do so also in the new infrastructure now.

[ Upstream commit ff1c08e1f74b6864854c39be48aa799a6a2e4d2b ]

The functions bpf_map_area_alloc() and bpf_map_charge_init() prior
this commit passed the size parameter as size_t. In this commit this
is changed to u64.

All users of these functions avoid size_t overflows on 32-bit systems,
by explicitly using u64 when calculating the allocation size and
memory charge cost. However, since the result was narrowed by the
size_t when passing size and cost to the functions, the overflow
handling was in vain.

Instead of changing all call sites to size_t and handle overflow at
the call site, the parameter is changed to u64 and checked in the
functions above.

the call site, the parameter is changed to u64 and checked in the
functions above.

[ Upstream commit 7541c87c9b7a7e07c84481f37f2c19063b44469b ]

"ctx:file_pos sysctl:read read ok narrow" works on s390 by accident: it
reads the wrong byte, which happens to have the expected value of 0.
Improve the test by seeking to the 4th byte and expecting 4 instead of
0.

This makes the latent problem apparent: the test attempts to read the
first byte of bpf_sysctl.file_pos, assuming this is the least-significant
byte, which is not the case on big-endian machines: a non-zero offset is
needed.

The point of the test is to verify narrow loads, so we cannot cheat our
way out by simply using BPF_W. The existence of the test means that such
loads have to be supported, most likely because llvm can generate them.
Fix the test by adding a big-endian variant, which uses an offset to
access the least-significant byte of bpf_sysctl.file_pos.

This reveals the final problem: verifier rejects accesses to bpf_sysctl
fields with offset &gt; 0. Such accesses are already allowed for a wide
range of structs: __sk_buff, bpf_sock_addr and sk_msg_md to name a few.
Extend this support to bpf_sysctl by using bpf_ctx_range instead of
offsetof when matching field offsets.

commit ca16d5bee59807bf04deaab0a8eccecd5061528c upstream.

Robust futexes utilize the robust_list mechanism to allow the kernel to
release futexes which are held when a task exits. The exit can be voluntary
or caused by a signal or fault. This prevents that waiters block forever.

The futex operations in user space store a pointer to the futex they are
either locking or unlocking in the op_pending member of the per task robust
list.

After a lock operation has succeeded the futex is queued in the robust list
linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared.

After an unlock operation has succeeded the futex is removed from the
robust list linked list and the op_pending pointer is cleared.

The robust list exit code checks for the pending operation and any futex
which is queued in the linked list. It carefully checks whether the futex
value is the TID of the exiting task. If so, it sets the OWNER_DIED bit and
tries to wake up a potential waiter.

This is race free for the lock operation but unlock has two race scenarios
where waiters might not be woken up. These issues can be observed with
regular robust pthread mutexes. PI aware pthread mutexes are not affected.

(1) Unlocking task is killed after unlocking the futex value in user space
    before being able to wake a waiter.

    The sanity check which ensures that the user space futex is owned by
    the exiting task prevents the wakeup of waiters which in consequence
    block infinitely.

(2) Waiting task is killed after a wakeup and before it can acquire the
    futex in user space.

        if ((uval &amp; FUTEX_TID_MASK) != task_pid_vnr(curr))
                return 0;

    The sanity check which ensures that the user space futex is owned
    by the exiting task prevents the wakeup of waiters, which seems to
    be correct as the exiting task does not own the futex value, but
    the consequence is that other waiters wont be woken up and block
    infinitely.

In both scenarios the following conditions are true:

   - task-&gt;robust_list-&gt;list_op_pending != NULL
   - user space futex value == 0
   - Regular futex (not PI)

If these conditions are met then it is reasonably safe to wake up a
potential waiter in order to prevent the above problems.

As this might be a false positive it can cause spurious wakeups, but the
waiter side has to handle other types of unrelated wakeups, e.g. signals
gracefully anyway. So such a spurious wakeup will not affect the
correctness of these operations.

This workaround must not touch the user space futex value and cannot set
the OWNER_DIED bit because the lock value is 0, i.e. uncontended. Setting
OWNER_DIED in this case would result in inconsistent state and subsequently
in malfunction of the owner died handling in user space.

The rest of the user space state is still consistent as no other task can
observe the list_op_pending entry in the exiting tasks robust list.

The eventually woken up waiter will observe the uncontended lock value and
take it over.

[ tglx: Massaged changelog and comment. Made the return explicit and not
  	depend on the subsequent check and added constants to hand into
  	handle_futex_death() instead of plain numbers. Fixed a few coding
	style issues. ]

    The sanity check which ensures that the user space futex is owned
    by the exiting task prevents the wakeup of waiters, which seems to
    be correct as the exiting task does not own the futex value, but
    the consequence is that other waiters wont be woken up and block
    infinitely.

In both scenarios the following conditions are true:

   - task-&gt;robust_list-&gt;list_op_pending != NULL
   - user space futex value == 0
   - Regular futex (not PI)

If these conditions are met then it is reasonably safe to wake up a
potential waiter in order to prevent the above problems.

As this might be a false positive it can cause spurious wakeups, but the
waiter side has to handle other types of unrelated wakeups, e.g. signals
gracefully anyway. So such a spurious wakeup will not affect the
correctness of these operations.

This workaround must not touch the user space futex value and cannot set
the OWNER_DIED bit because the lock value is 0, i.e. uncontended. Setting
OWNER_DIED in this case would result in inconsistent state and subsequently
in malfunction of the owner died handling in user space.

The rest of the user space state is still consistent as no other task can
observe the list_op_pending entry in the exiting tasks robust list.

The eventually woken up waiter will observe the uncontended lock value and
take it over.

[ tglx: Massaged changelog and comment. Made the return explicit and not
  	depend on the subsequent check and added constants to hand into
  	handle_futex_death() instead of plain numbers. Fixed a few coding
	style issues. ]
