commit bb32500fb9b78215e4ef6ee8b4345c5f5d7eafb4 upstream.

The following can crash the kernel:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo 'p:sched schedule' &gt; kprobe_events
 # exec 5&gt;&gt;events/kprobes/sched/enable
 # &gt; kprobe_events
 # exec 5&gt;&amp;-

The above commands:

 1. Change directory to the tracefs directory
 2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one)
 3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event
 4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too)
 5. Close the bash file descriptor 5

The above causes a crash!

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028
 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
 PGD 0 P4D 0

 RIP: 0010:tracing_release_file_tr+0xc/0x50

What happens here is that the kprobe event creates a trace_event_file
"file" descriptor that represents the file in tracefs to the event. It
maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?).
Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor
via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is
also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file"
descriptor.

But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be
totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not
true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user
does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the
event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug.

To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a
new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last
reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is
removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening,
even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

commit 60466c067927abbcaff299845abd4b7069963139 upstream.

As the emergency restart does not call kernel_restart_prepare(), the
system_state stays in SYSTEM_RUNNING.

Since bae1d3a05a8b, this hinders i2c_in_atomic_xfer_mode() from becoming
active, and therefore might lead to avoidable warnings in the restart
handlers, e.g.:

[   12.667612] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:318 rcu_note_context_switch+0x33c/0x6b0
[   12.676926] Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side critical section!
...

[   12.749179]  wait_for_completion_timeout from tegra_i2c_wait_completion+0x40/0x70

[   13.001050]  machine_restart from panic+0x2a8/0x32c

Avoid these by setting the correct system_state.

<title>PM: hibernate: Clean up sync_read handling in snapshot_write_next()</title>

commit d08970df1980476f27936e24d452550f3e9e92e1 upstream.

In snapshot_write_next(), sync_read is set and unset in three different
spots unnecessiarly. As a result there is a subtle bug where the first
page after the meta data has been loaded unconditionally sets sync_read
to 0. If this first PFN was actually a highmem page, then the returned
buffer will be the global "buffer," and the page needs to be loaded
synchronously.

That is, I'm not sure we can always assume the following to be safe:

	handle-&gt;buffer = get_buffer(&amp;orig_bm, &amp;ca);
	handle-&gt;sync_read = 0;

Because get_buffer() can call get_highmem_page_buffer() which can
return 'buffer'.

The easiest way to address this is just set sync_read before
snapshot_write_next() returns if handle-&gt;buffer == buffer.

commit 5e7afb2eb7b2a7c81e9f608cbdf74a07606fd1b5 upstream.

irq_remove_generic_chip() calculates the Linux interrupt number for removing the
handler and interrupt chip based on gc::irq_base as a linear function of
the bit positions of set bits in the @msk argument.

When the generic chip is present in an irq domain, i.e. created with a call
to irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips(), gc::irq_base contains not the base
Linux interrupt number.  It contains the base hardware interrupt for this
chip. It is set to 0 for the first chip in the domain, 0 + N for the next
chip, where $N is the number of hardware interrupts per chip.

That means the Linux interrupt number cannot be calculated based on
gc::irq_base for irqdomain based chips without a domain map lookup, which
is currently missing.

Rework the code to take the irqdomain case into account and calculate the
Linux interrupt number by a irqdomain lookup of the domain specific
hardware interrupt number.

commit 969d90ec212bae4b45bf9d21d7daa30aa6cf055e upstream.

eBPF can end up calling into the audit code from some odd places, and
some of these places don't have @current set properly so we end up
tripping the `WARN_ON_ONCE(!current-&gt;mm)` near the top of
`audit_exe_compare()`.  While the basic `!current-&gt;mm` check is good,
the `WARN_ON_ONCE()` results in some scary console messages so let's
drop that and just do the regular `!current-&gt;mm` check to avoid
problems.

commit 47846d51348dd62e5231a83be040981b17c955fa upstream.

The get_task_exe_file() function locks the given task with task_lock()
which when used inside audit_exe_compare() can cause deadlocks on
systems that generate audit records when the task_lock() is held. We
resolve this problem with two changes: ignoring those cases where the
task being audited is not the current task, and changing our approach
to obtaining the executable file struct to not require task_lock().

With the intent of the audit exe filter being to filter on audit events
generated by processes started by the specified executable, it makes
sense that we would only want to use the exe filter on audit records
associated with the currently executing process, e.g. @current.  If
we are asked to filter records using a non-@current task_struct we can
safely ignore the exe filter without negatively impacting the admin's
expectations for the exe filter.

Knowing that we only have to worry about filtering the currently
executing task in audit_exe_compare() we can do away with the
task_lock() and call get_mm_exe_file() with @current-&gt;mm directly.

<title>bpf: Fix precision tracking for BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_BE | BPF_END</title>

commit 291d044fd51f8484066300ee42afecf8c8db7b3a upstream.

BPF_END and BPF_NEG has a different specification for the source bit in
the opcode compared to other ALU/ALU64 instructions, and is either
reserved or use to specify the byte swap endianness. In both cases the
source bit does not encode source operand location, and src_reg is a
reserved field.

backtrack_insn() currently does not differentiate BPF_END and BPF_NEG
from other ALU/ALU64 instructions, which leads to r0 being incorrectly
marked as precise when processing BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_BE | BPF_END
instructions. This commit teaches backtrack_insn() to correctly mark
precision for such case.

While precise tracking of BPF_NEG and other BPF_END instructions are
correct and does not need fixing, this commit opt to process all BPF_NEG
and BPF_END instructions within the same if-clause to better align with
current convention used in the verifier (e.g. check_alu_op).

[ Upstream commit dd712d3d45807db9fcae28a522deee85c1f2fde6 ]

When entering kdb/kgdb on a kernel panic, it was be observed that the
console isn't flushed before the `kdb` prompt came up. Specifically,
when using the buddy lockup detector on arm64 and running:
  echo HARDLOCKUP &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT

I could see:
  [   26.161099] lkdtm: Performing direct entry HARDLOCKUP
  [   32.499881] watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 6
  [   32.552865] Sending NMI from CPU 5 to CPUs 6:
  [   32.557359] NMI backtrace for cpu 6
  ... [backtrace for cpu 6] ...
  [   32.558353] NMI backtrace for cpu 5
  ... [backtrace for cpu 5] ...
  [   32.867471] Sending NMI from CPU 5 to CPUs 0-4,7:
  [   32.872321] NMI backtrace forP cpuANC: Hard LOCKUP

  Entering kdb (current=..., pid 0) on processor 5 due to Keyboard Entry
  [5]kdb&gt;

As you can see, backtraces for the other CPUs start printing and get
interleaved with the kdb PANIC print.

Let's replicate the commands to flush the console in the kdb panic
entry point to avoid this.

<title>crypto: pcrypt - Fix hungtask for PADATA_RESET</title>

[ Upstream commit 8f4f68e788c3a7a696546291258bfa5fdb215523 ]

We found a hungtask bug in test_aead_vec_cfg as follows:

INFO: task cryptomgr_test:391009 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

 Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks

For padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call
wait_for_completion(&amp;wait-&gt;completion) in test_aead_vec_cfg. In normal
case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the
return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst-&gt;flags is
PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it
won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will
hung at wait_for_completion(&amp;wait-&gt;completion), which will cause
hungtask.

The problem comes as following:
(padata_do_parallel)                 |
    rcu_read_lock_bh();              |
    err = -EINVAL;                   |   (padata_replace)
                                     |     pinst-&gt;flags |= PADATA_RESET;
    err = -EBUSY                     |
    if (pinst-&gt;flags &amp; PADATA_RESET) |
        rcu_read_unlock_bh()         |
        return err

In order to resolve the problem, we replace the return err -EBUSY with
-EAGAIN, which means parallel_data is changing, and the caller should call
it again.

v3:
remove retry and just change the return err.
v2:
introduce padata_try_do_parallel() in pcrypt_aead_encrypt and
pcrypt_aead_decrypt to solve the hungtask.
