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.

[ 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 b2380577d4fe1c0ef3fa50417f1e441c016e4cbe upstream.

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.

<title>timekeeping: contribute wall clock to rng on time change</title>

commit b8ac29b40183a6038919768b5d189c9bd91ce9b4 upstream.

The rng's random_init() function contributes the real time to the rng at
boot time, so that events can at least start in relation to something
particular in the real world. But this clock might not yet be set that
point in boot, so nothing is contributed. In addition, the relation
between minor clock changes from, say, NTP, and the cycle counter is
potentially useful entropic data.

This commit addresses this by mixing in a time stamp on calls to
settimeofday and adjtimex. No entropy is credited in doing so, so it
doesn't make initialization faster, but it is still useful input to
have.

[ Upstream commit 28f6c37a2910f565b4f5960df52b2eccae28c891 ]

kernel_text_address() treats ftrace_trampoline, kprobe_insn_slot
and bpf_text_address as valid kprobe addresses - which is not ideal.

These text areas are removable and changeable without any notification
to kprobes, and probing on them can trigger unexpected behavior:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/26/1148

Considering that jump_label and static_call text are already
forbiden to probe, kernel_text_address() should be replaced with
core_kernel_text() and is_module_text_address() to check other text
areas which are unsafe to kprobe.

[ mingo: Rewrote the changelog. ]

2d186afd04d6 ("profiling: fix shift-out-of-bounds bugs") limits shift
value by [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1], which means [0, 63].

However, syzbot found that the max shift value should be the bit number of
(_etext - _stext).  If shift is outside of this, the "buffer_bytes" will
be zero and will cause kzalloc(0).  Then the kernel panics due to
dereferencing the returned pointer 16.

This can be easily reproduced by passing a large number like 60 to enable
profiling and then run readprofile.

[ Upstream commit 5c66d1b9b30f737fcef85a0b75bfe0590e16b62a ]

dequeue_task_rt() only decrements 'rt_rq-&gt;rt_nr_running' after having
called sched_update_tick_dependency() preventing it from re-enabling the
tick on systems that no longer have pending SCHED_RT tasks but have
multiple runnable SCHED_OTHER tasks:

  dequeue_task_rt()
    dequeue_rt_entity()
      dequeue_rt_stack()
        dequeue_top_rt_rq()
	  sub_nr_running()	// decrements rq-&gt;nr_running
	    sched_update_tick_dependency()
	      sched_can_stop_tick()	// checks rq-&gt;rt.rt_nr_running,
	      ...
        __dequeue_rt_entity()
          dec_rt_tasks()	// decrements rq-&gt;rt.rt_nr_running
	  ...

Every other scheduler class performs the operation in the opposite
order, and sched_update_tick_dependency() expects the values to be
updated as such. So avoid the misbehaviour by inverting the order in
which the above operations are performed in the RT scheduler.

<title>PM: hibernate: defer device probing when resuming from hibernation</title>

[ Upstream commit 8386c414e27caba8501119948e9551e52b527f59 ]

syzbot is reporting hung task at misc_open() [1], for there is a race
window of AB-BA deadlock which involves probe_count variable. Currently
wait_for_device_probe() from snapshot_open() from misc_open() can sleep
forever with misc_mtx held if probe_count cannot become 0.

When a device is probed by hub_event() work function, probe_count is
incremented before the probe function starts, and probe_count is
decremented after the probe function completed.

There are three cases that can prevent probe_count from dropping to 0.

  (a) A device being probed stopped responding (i.e. broken/malicious
      hardware).

  (b) A process emulating a USB device using /dev/raw-gadget interface
      stopped responding for some reason.

  (c) New device probe requests keeps coming in before existing device
      probe requests complete.

The phenomenon syzbot is reporting is (b). A process which is holding
system_transition_mutex and misc_mtx is waiting for probe_count to become
0 inside wait_for_device_probe(), but the probe function which is called
 from hub_event() work function is waiting for the processes which are
blocked at mutex_lock(&amp;misc_mtx) to respond via /dev/raw-gadget interface.

This patch mitigates (b) by deferring wait_for_device_probe() from
snapshot_open() to snapshot_write() and snapshot_ioctl(). Please note that
the possibility of (b) remains as long as any thread which is emulating a
USB device via /dev/raw-gadget interface can be blocked by uninterruptible
blocking operations (e.g. mutex_lock()).

Please also note that (a) and (c) are not addressed. Regarding (c), we
should change the code to wait for only one device which contains the
image for resuming from hibernation. I don't know how to address (a), for
use of timeout for wait_for_device_probe() might result in loss of user
data in the image. Maybe we should require the userland to wait for the
image device before opening /dev/snapshot interface.

[ Upstream commit 95001b756467ecc9f5973eb5e74e97699d9bbdf1 ]

Function irq_chip::irq_request_resources() is reported as optional
in the declaration of struct irq_chip.
If the parent irq_chip does not implement it, we should ignore it
and return.

Don't return error if the functions is missing.

<title>bpf: Verifer, adjust_scalar_min_max_vals to always call update_reg_bounds()</title>

commit 294f2fc6da27620a506e6c050241655459ccd6bd upstream.

Currently, for all op verification we call __red_deduce_bounds() and
__red_bound_offset() but we only call __update_reg_bounds() in bitwise
ops. However, we could benefit from calling __update_reg_bounds() in
BPF_ADD, BPF_SUB, and BPF_MUL cases as well.

For example, a register with state 'R1_w=invP0' when we subtract from
it,

 w1 -= 2

Before coerce we will now have an smin_value=S64_MIN, smax_value=U64_MAX
and unsigned bounds umin_value=0, umax_value=U64_MAX. These will then
be clamped to S32_MIN, U32_MAX values by coerce in the case of alu32 op
as done in above example. However tnum will be a constant because the
ALU op is done on a constant.

Without update_reg_bounds() we have a scenario where tnum is a const
but our unsigned bounds do not reflect this. By calling update_reg_bounds
after coerce to 32bit we further refine the umin_value to U64_MAX in the
alu64 case or U32_MAX in the alu32 case above.
