See the glory details in 100605035e15 ("bpf: Verifier, do_refine_retval_range
may clamp umin to 0 incorrectly") for why 849fa50662fb ("bpf/verifier: refine
retval R0 state for bpf_get_stack helper") is buggy. The whole series however
is not suitable for stable since it adds significant amount [0] of verifier
complexity in order to add 32bit subreg tracking. Something simpler is needed.

Unfortunately, reverting 849fa50662fb ("bpf/verifier: refine retval R0 state
for bpf_get_stack helper") or just cherry-picking 100605035e15 ("bpf: Verifier,
do_refine_retval_range may clamp umin to 0 incorrectly") is not an option since
it will break existing tracing programs badly (at least those that are using
bpf_get_stack() and bpf_probe_read_str() helpers). Not fixing it in stable is
also not an option since on 4.19 kernels an error will cause a soft-lockup due
to hitting dead-code sanitized branch since we don't hard-wire such branches
in old kernels yet. But even then for 5.x 849fa50662fb ("bpf/verifier: refine
retval R0 state for bpf_get_stack helper") would cause wrong bounds on the
verifier simluation when an error is hit.

In one of the earlier iterations of mentioned patch series for upstream there
was the concern that just using smax_value in do_refine_retval_range() would
nuke bounds by subsequent &lt;&lt;32 &gt;&gt;32 shifts before the comparison against 0 [1]
which eventually led to the 32bit subreg tracking in the first place. While I
initially went for implementing the idea [1] to pattern match the two shift
operations, it turned out to be more complex than actually needed, meaning, we
could simply treat do_refine_retval_range() similarly to how we branch off
verification for conditionals or under speculation, that is, pushing a new
reg state to the stack for later verification. This means, instead of verifying
the current path with the ret_reg in [S32MIN, msize_max_value] interval where
later bounds would get nuked, we split this into two: i) for the success case
where ret_reg can be in [0, msize_max_value], and ii) for the error case with
ret_reg known to be in interval [S32MIN, -1]. Latter will preserve the bounds
during these shift patterns and can match reg &lt; 0 test. test_progs also succeed
with this approach.

<title>locktorture: Print ratio of acquisitions, not failures</title>

commit 80c503e0e68fbe271680ab48f0fe29bc034b01b7 upstream.

The __torture_print_stats() function in locktorture.c carefully
initializes local variable "min" to statp[0].n_lock_acquired, but
then compares it to statp[i].n_lock_fail.  Given that the .n_lock_fail
field should normally be zero, and given the initialization, it seems
reasonable to display the maximum and minimum number acquisitions
instead of miscomputing the maximum and minimum number of failures.
This commit therefore switches from failures to acquisitions.

And this turns out to be not only a day-zero bug, but entirely my
own fault.  I hate it when that happens!

commit 9bb50ed7470944238ec8e30a94ef096caf9056ee upstream.

The commit 2e05ea5cdc1a ("dma-mapping: implement dma_map_single_attrs using
dma_map_page_attrs") removed "dma_debug_page" enum, but missed to update
type2name string table. This causes incorrect displaying of dma allocation
type.
Fix it by removing "page" string from type2name string table and switch to
use named initializers.

Before (dma_alloc_coherent()):

<title>tracing: Fix the race between registering 'snapshot' event trigger and triggering 'snapshot' operation</title>

commit 0bbe7f719985efd9adb3454679ecef0984cb6800 upstream.

Traced event can trigger 'snapshot' operation(i.e. calls snapshot_trigger()
or snapshot_count_trigger()) when register_snapshot_trigger() has completed
registration but doesn't allocate buffer for 'snapshot' event trigger.  In
the rare case, 'snapshot' operation always detects the lack of allocated
buffer so make register_snapshot_trigger() allocate buffer first.

trigger-snapshot.tc in kselftest reproduces the issue on slow vm:

<title>bpf: Fix tnum constraints for 32-bit comparisons</title>

[ Upstream commit 604dca5e3af1db98bd123b7bfc02b017af99e3a0 ]

The BPF verifier tried to track values based on 32-bit comparisons by
(ab)using the tnum state via 581738a681b6 ("bpf: Provide better register
bounds after jmp32 instructions"). The idea is that after a check like
this:

    if ((u32)r0 &gt; 3)
      exit

We can't meaningfully constrain the arithmetic-range-based tracking, but
we can update the tnum state to (value=0,mask=0xffff'ffff'0000'0003).
However, the implementation from 581738a681b6 didn't compute the tnum
constraint based on the fixed operand, but instead derives it from the
arithmetic-range-based tracking. This means that after the following
sequence of operations:

    if (r0 &gt;= 0x1'0000'0001)
      exit
    if ((u32)r0 &gt; 7)
      exit

The verifier assumed that the lower half of r0 is in the range (0, 0)
and apply the tnum constraint (value=0,mask=0xffff'ffff'0000'0000) thus
causing the overall tnum to be (value=0,mask=0x1'0000'0000), which was
incorrect. Provide a fixed implementation.

[ Upstream commit 604dca5e3af1db98bd123b7bfc02b017af99e3a0 ]

The BPF verifier tried to track values based on 32-bit comparisons by
(ab)using the tnum state via 581738a681b6 ("bpf: Provide better register
bounds after jmp32 instructions"). The idea is that after a check like
this:

    if ((u32)r0 &gt; 3)
      exit

We can't meaningfully constrain the arithmetic-range-based tracking, but
we can update the tnum state to (value=0,mask=0xffff'ffff'0000'0003).
However, the implementation from 581738a681b6 didn't compute the tnum
constraint based on the fixed operand, but instead derives it from the
arithmetic-range-based tracking. This means that after the following
sequence of operations:

    if (r0 &gt;= 0x1'0000'0001)
      exit
    if ((u32)r0 &gt; 7)
      exit

The verifier assumed that the lower half of r0 is in the range (0, 0)
and apply the tnum constraint (value=0,mask=0xffff'ffff'0000'0000) thus
causing the overall tnum to be (value=0,mask=0x1'0000'0000), which was
incorrect. Provide a fixed implementation.

commit d7d27cfc5cf0766a26a8f56868c5ad5434735126 upstream.

Patch series "module autoloading fixes and cleanups", v5.

This series fixes a bug where request_module() was reporting success to
kernel code when module autoloading had been completely disabled via
'echo &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe'.

It also addresses the issues raised on the original thread
(https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/20200310223731.126894-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/T/#u)
bydocumenting the modprobe sysctl, adding a self-test for the empty path
case, and downgrading a user-reachable WARN_ONCE().

This patch (of 4):

It's long been possible to disable kernel module autoloading completely
(while still allowing manual module insertion) by setting
/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to the empty string.

This can be preferable to setting it to a nonexistent file since it
avoids the overhead of an attempted execve(), avoids potential
deadlocks, and avoids the call to security_kernel_module_request() and
thus on SELinux-based systems eliminates the need to write SELinux rules
to dontaudit module_request.

However, when module autoloading is disabled in this way,
request_module() returns 0.  This is broken because callers expect 0 to
mean that the module was successfully loaded.

Apparently this was never noticed because this method of disabling
module autoloading isn't used much, and also most callers don't use the
return value of request_module() since it's always necessary to check
whether the module registered its functionality or not anyway.

But improperly returning 0 can indeed confuse a few callers, for example
get_fs_type() in fs/filesystems.c where it causes a WARNING to be hit:

	if (!fs &amp;&amp; (request_module("fs-%.*s", len, name) == 0)) {
		fs = __get_fs_type(name, len);
		WARN_ONCE(!fs, "request_module fs-%.*s succeeded, but still no fs?\n", len, name);
	}

This is easily reproduced with:

	echo &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
	mount -t NONEXISTENT none /

It causes:

	request_module fs-NONEXISTENT succeeded, but still no fs?
	WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1106 at fs/filesystems.c:275 get_fs_type+0xd6/0xf0
	[...]

This should actually use pr_warn_once() rather than WARN_ONCE(), since
it's also user-reachable if userspace immediately unloads the module.
Regardless, request_module() should correctly return an error when it
fails.  So let's make it return -ENOENT, which matches the error when
the modprobe binary doesn't exist.

I've also sent patches to document and test this case.

<title>signal: Extend exec_id to 64bits</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d1e7fd6462ca9fc76650fbe6ca800e35b24267da upstream.

Replace the 32bit exec_id with a 64bit exec_id to make it impossible
to wrap the exec_id counter.  With care an attacker can cause exec_id
wrap and send arbitrary signals to a newly exec'd parent.  This
bypasses the signal sending checks if the parent changes their
credentials during exec.

The severity of this problem can been seen that in my limited testing
of a 32bit exec_id it can take as little as 19s to exec 65536 times.
Which means that it can take as little as 14 days to wrap a 32bit
exec_id.  Adam Zabrocki has succeeded wrapping the self_exe_id in 7
days.  Even my slower timing is in the uptime of a typical server.
Which means self_exec_id is simply a speed bump today, and if exec
gets noticably faster self_exec_id won't even be a speed bump.

Extending self_exec_id to 64bits introduces a problem on 32bit
architectures where reading self_exec_id is no longer atomic and can
take two read instructions.  Which means that is is possible to hit
a window where the read value of exec_id does not match the written
value.  So with very lucky timing after this change this still
remains expoiltable.

I have updated the update of exec_id on exec to use WRITE_ONCE
and the read of exec_id in do_notify_parent to use READ_ONCE
to make it clear that there is no locking between these two
locations.
