commit 42ea22e754ba4f2b86f8760ca27f6f71da2d982c upstream.

When the kernel contains a large number of functions that can be traced,
the loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash() may take a lot of time to execute.
This may trigger the softlockup watchdog.

Add cond_resched() within the loop to allow the kernel to remain
responsive even when processing a large number of functions.

This matches the cond_resched() that is used in other locations of the
code that iterates over all functions that can be traced.

<title>locking/lockdep: Decrease nr_unused_locks if lock unused in zap_class()</title>

commit 495f53d5cca0f939eaed9dca90b67e7e6fb0e30c upstream.

Currently, when a lock class is allocated, nr_unused_locks will be
increased by 1, until it gets used: nr_unused_locks will be decreased by
1 in mark_lock(). However, one scenario is missed: a lock class may be
zapped without even being used once. This could result into a situation
that nr_unused_locks != 0 but no unused lock class is active in the
system, and when `cat /proc/lockdep_stats`, a WARN_ON() will
be triggered in a CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y kernel:

  [...] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(debug_atomic_read(nr_unused_locks) != nr_unused)
  [...] WARNING: CPU: 41 PID: 1121 at kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:283 lockdep_stats_show+0xba9/0xbd0

And as a result, lockdep will be disabled after this.

Therefore, nr_unused_locks needs to be accounted correctly at
zap_class() time.

<title>tracing: fix return value in __ftrace_event_enable_disable for TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER</title>

[ Upstream commit 0c588ac0ca6c22b774d9ad4a6594681fdfa57d9d ]

When __ftrace_event_enable_disable invokes the class callback to
unregister the event, the return value is not reported up to the
caller, hence leading to event unregister failures being silently
ignored.

This patch assigns the ret variable to the invocation of the
event unregister callback, so that its return value is stored
and reported to the caller, and it raises a warning in case
of error.

<title>tracing: Fix use-after-free in print_graph_function_flags during tracer switching</title>

commit 7f81f27b1093e4895e87b74143c59c055c3b1906 upstream.

Kairui reported a UAF issue in print_graph_function_flags() during
ftrace stress testing [1]. This issue can be reproduced if puting a
'mdelay(10)' after 'mutex_unlock(&amp;trace_types_lock)' in s_start(),
and executing the following script:

  $ echo function_graph &gt; current_tracer
  $ cat trace &gt; /dev/null &amp;
  $ sleep 5  # Ensure the 'cat' reaches the 'mdelay(10)' point
  $ echo timerlat &gt; current_tracer

The root cause lies in the two calls to print_graph_function_flags
within print_trace_line during each s_show():

  * One through 'iter-&gt;trace-&gt;print_line()';
  * Another through 'event-&gt;funcs-&gt;trace()', which is hidden in
    print_trace_fmt() before print_trace_line returns.

Tracer switching only updates the former, while the latter continues
to use the print_line function of the old tracer, which in the script
above is print_graph_function_flags.

Moreover, when switching from the 'function_graph' tracer to the
'timerlat' tracer, s_start only calls graph_trace_close of the
'function_graph' tracer to free 'iter-&gt;private', but does not set
it to NULL. This provides an opportunity for 'event-&gt;funcs-&gt;trace()'
to use an invalid 'iter-&gt;private'.

To fix this issue, set 'iter-&gt;private' to NULL immediately after
freeing it in graph_trace_close(), ensuring that an invalid pointer
is not passed to other tracers. Additionally, clean up the unnecessary
'iter-&gt;private = NULL' during each 'cat trace' when using wakeup and
irqsoff tracers.

[ Upstream commit 85b2b9c16d053364e2004883140538e73b333cdb ]

A circular lock dependency splat has been seen involving down_trylock():

  ======================================================
  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  6.12.0-41.el10.s390x+debug
  ------------------------------------------------------
  dd/32479 is trying to acquire lock:
  0015a20accd0d4f8 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: down_trylock+0x26/0x90

  but task is already holding lock:
  000000017e461698 (&amp;zone-&gt;lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: rmqueue_bulk+0xac/0x8f0

  the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
  -&gt; #4 (&amp;zone-&gt;lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -&gt; #3 (hrtimer_bases.lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -&gt; #2 (&amp;rq-&gt;__lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -&gt; #1 (&amp;p-&gt;pi_lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -&gt; #0 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:

The console_sem -&gt; pi_lock dependency is due to calling try_to_wake_up()
while holding the console_sem raw_spinlock. This dependency can be broken
by using wake_q to do the wakeup instead of calling try_to_wake_up()
under the console_sem lock. This will also make the semaphore's
raw_spinlock become a terminal lock without taking any further locks
underneath it.

The hrtimer_bases.lock is a raw_spinlock while zone-&gt;lock is a
spinlock. The hrtimer_bases.lock -&gt; zone-&gt;lock dependency happens via
the debug_objects_fill_pool() helper function in the debugobjects code.

         do_IRQ+0x9a/0xe0
         do_irq_async+0xf6/0x160

Normally a raw_spinlock to spinlock dependency is not legitimate
and will be warned if CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING is enabled,
but debug_objects_fill_pool() is an exception as it explicitly
allows this dependency for non-PREEMPT_RT kernel without causing
PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING lockdep splat. As a result, this dependency is
legitimate and not a bug.

Anyway, semaphore is the only locking primitive left that is still
using try_to_wake_up() to do wakeup inside critical section, all the
other locking primitives had been migrated to use wake_q to do wakeup
outside of the critical section. It is also possible that there are
other circular locking dependencies involving printk/console_sem or
other existing/new semaphores lurking somewhere which may show up in
the future. Let just do the migration now to wake_q to avoid headache
like this.

Normally a raw_spinlock to spinlock dependency is not legitimate
and will be warned if CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING is enabled,
but debug_objects_fill_pool() is an exception as it explicitly
allows this dependency for non-PREEMPT_RT kernel without causing
PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING lockdep splat. As a result, this dependency is
legitimate and not a bug.

Anyway, semaphore is the only locking primitive left that is still
using try_to_wake_up() to do wakeup inside critical section, all the
other locking primitives had been migrated to use wake_q to do wakeup
outside of the critical section. It is also possible that there are
other circular locking dependencies involving printk/console_sem or
other existing/new semaphores lurking somewhere which may show up in
the future. Let just do the migration now to wake_q to avoid headache
like this.

[ Upstream commit 14672f059d83f591afb2ee1fff56858efe055e5a ]

The ftrace selftest reported a failure because writing -1 to
sched_rt_runtime_us returns -EBUSY. This happens when the possible
CPUs are different from active CPUs.

Active CPUs are part of one root domain, while remaining CPUs are part
of def_root_domain. Since active cpumask is being used, this results in
cpus=0 when a non active CPUs is used in the loop.

Fix it by looping over the online CPUs instead for validating the
bandwidth calculations.

[ Upstream commit 9986fb5164c8b21f6439cfd45ba36d8cc80c9710 ]

Patch series "powerpc/crash: use generic crashkernel reservation", v3.

Commit 0ab97169aa05 ("crash_core: add generic function to do reservation")
added a generic function to reserve crashkernel memory.  So let's use the
same function on powerpc and remove the architecture-specific code that
essentially does the same thing.

The generic crashkernel reservation also provides a way to split the
crashkernel reservation into high and low memory reservations, which can
be enabled for powerpc in the future.

Additionally move powerpc to use generic APIs to locate memory hole for
kexec segments while loading kdump kernel.

This patch (of 7):

kexec_elf_load() loads an ELF executable and sets the address of the
lowest PT_LOAD section to the address held by the lowest_load_addr
function argument.

To determine the lowest PT_LOAD address, a local variable lowest_addr
(type unsigned long) is initialized to UINT_MAX.  After loading each
PT_LOAD, its address is compared to lowest_addr.  If a loaded PT_LOAD
address is lower, lowest_addr is updated.  However, setting lowest_addr to
UINT_MAX won't work when the kernel image is loaded above 4G, as the
returned lowest PT_LOAD address would be invalid.  This is resolved by
initializing lowest_addr to ULONG_MAX instead.

This issue was discovered while implementing crashkernel high/low
reservation on the PowerPC architecture.

[ Upstream commit b4a8b5bba712a711d8ca1f7d04646db63f9c88f5 ]

bpf_send_signal_common() uses preemptible() to check whether or not the
current context is preemptible. If it is preemptible, it will use
irq_work to send the signal asynchronously instead of trying to hold a
spin-lock, because spin-lock is sleepable under PREEMPT_RT.

However, preemptible() depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT. When
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is turned off (e.g., CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y),
!preemptible() will be evaluated as 1 and bpf_send_signal_common() will
use irq_work unconditionally.

Fix it by unfolding "!preemptible()" and using "preempt_count() != 0 ||
irqs_disabled()" instead.
