commit 54e200ab40fc14c863bcc80a51e20b7906608fce upstream.

alloc_percpu() may return NULL, which means chan-&gt;buf may be set to NULL.
In that case, when we do *per_cpu_ptr(chan-&gt;buf, ...), we dereference an
invalid pointer:

  BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access at 0x7dae0000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003f3fec
  ...
  NIP relay_open+0x29c/0x600
  LR relay_open+0x270/0x600
  Call Trace:
     relay_open+0x264/0x600 (unreliable)
     __blk_trace_setup+0x254/0x600
     blk_trace_setup+0x68/0xa0

     ksys_ioctl+0x94/0x130
     sys_ioctl+0x48/0xb0
     system_call+0x5c/0x68

Check if alloc_percpu returns NULL.

This was found by syzkaller both on x86 and powerpc, and the reproducer
it found on powerpc is capable of hitting the issue as an unprivileged
user.

[ Upstream commit d8ef4b38cb69d907f9b0e889c44d05fc0f890977 ]

This reverts commit 9a9e97b2f1f2 ("cgroup: Add memory barriers to plug
cgroup_rstat_updated() race window").

The commit was added in anticipation of memcg rstat conversion which needed
synchronous accounting for the event counters (e.g. oom kill count). However,
the conversion didn't get merged due to percpu memory overhead concern which
couldn't be addressed at the time.

Unfortunately, the patch's addition of smp_mb() to cgroup_rstat_updated()
meant that every scheduling event now had to go through an additional full
barrier and Mel Gorman noticed it as 1% regression in netperf UDP_STREAM test.

There's no need to have this barrier in tree now and even if we need
synchronous accounting in the future, the right thing to do is separating that
out to a separate function so that hot paths which don't care about
synchronous behavior don't have to pay the overhead of the full barrier. Let's
revert.

sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning some more

The recent patch, fe61468b2cb (sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning)
did not fully resolve the issues with the rq-&gt;tmp_alone_branch !=
&amp;rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list warning in enqueue_task_fair. There is a case where
the first for_each_sched_entity loop exits due to on_rq, having incompletely
updated the list.  In this case the second for_each_sched_entity loop can
further modify se. The later code to fix up the list management fails to do
what is needed because se does not point to the sched_entity which broke out
of the first loop. The list is not fixed up because the throttled parent was
already added back to the list by a task enqueue in a parallel child hierarchy.

Address this by calling list_add_leaf_cfs_rq if there are throttled parents
while doing the second for_each_sched_entity loop.

[ Upstream commit 5ab297bab984310267734dfbcc8104566658ebef ]

Even when a cgroup is throttled, the group se of a child cgroup can still
be enqueued and its gse-&gt;on_rq stays true. When a task is enqueued on such
child, we still have to update the load_avg and increase
h_nr_running of the throttled cfs. Nevertheless, the 1st
for_each_sched_entity() loop is skipped because of gse-&gt;on_rq == true and the
2nd loop because the cfs is throttled whereas we have to update both
load_avg with the old h_nr_running and increase h_nr_running in such case.

The same sequence can happen during dequeue when se moves to parent before
breaking in the 1st loop.

Note that the update of load_avg will effectively happen only once in order
to sync up to the throttled time. Next call for updating load_avg will stop
early because the clock stays unchanged.

[ Upstream commit 6d4d22468dae3d8757af9f8b81b848a76ef4409d ]

The walk through the cgroup hierarchy during the enqueue/dequeue of a task
is split in 2 distinct parts for throttled cfs_rq without any added value
but making code less readable.

Change the code ordering such that everything related to a cfs_rq
(throttled or not) will be done in the same loop.

In addition, the same steps ordering is used when updating a cfs_rq:

 - update_load_avg
 - update_cfs_group
 - update *h_nr_running

This reordering enables the use of h_nr_running in PELT algorithm.

No functional and performance changes are expected and have been noticed
during tests.

<title>Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized</title>

commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream.

We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.

For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions &lt; 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size.  And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).

And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.

At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.

So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".

Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would.  In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.

That's currently not the world we live in, though.

Yes, it would.  In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.

That's currently not the world we live in, though.

[ Upstream commit 3f2c788a13143620c5471ac96ac4f033fc9ac3f3 ]

Jan reported an issue where an interaction between sign-extending clone's
flag argument on ppc64le and the new CLONE_INTO_CGROUP feature causes
clone() to consistently fail with EBADF.

The whole story is a little longer. The legacy clone() syscall is odd in a
bunch of ways and here two things interact. First, legacy clone's flag
argument is word-size dependent, i.e. it's an unsigned long whereas most
system calls with flag arguments use int or unsigned int. Second, legacy
clone() ignores unknown and deprecated flags. The two of them taken
together means that users on 64bit systems can pass garbage for the upper
32bit of the clone() syscall since forever and things would just work fine.
Just try this on a 64bit kernel prior to v5.7-rc1 where this will succeed
and on v5.7-rc1 where this will fail with EBADF:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        pid_t pid;

        /* Note that legacy clone() has different argument ordering on
         * different architectures so this won't work everywhere.
         *
         * Only set the upper 32 bits.
         */
        pid = syscall(__NR_clone, 0xffffffff00000000 | SIGCHLD,
                      NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
        if (pid &lt; 0)
                exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        if (pid == 0)
                exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
        if (wait(NULL) != pid)
                exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

        exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

Since legacy clone() couldn't be extended this was not a problem so far and
nobody really noticed or cared since nothing in the kernel ever bothered to
look at the upper 32 bits.

But once we introduced clone3() and expanded the flag argument in struct
clone_args to 64 bit we opened this can of worms. With the first flag-based
extension to clone3() making use of the upper 32 bits of the flag argument
we've effectively made it possible for the legacy clone() syscall to reach
clone3() only flags. The sign extension scenario is just the odd
corner-case that we needed to figure this out.

The reason we just realized this now and not already when we introduced
CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND was that CLONE_INTO_CGROUP assumes that a valid cgroup
file descriptor has been given. So the sign extension (or the user
accidently passing garbage for the upper 32 bits) caused the
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP bit to be raised and the kernel to error out when it
didn't find a valid cgroup file descriptor.

Let's fix this by always capping the upper 32 bits for all codepaths that
are not aware of clone3() features. This ensures that we can't reach
clone3() only features by accident via legacy clone as with the sign
extension case and also that legacy clone() works exactly like before, i.e.
ignoring any unknown flags.  This solution risks no regressions and is also
pretty clean.

[ Upstream commit db803036ada7d61d096783726f9771b3fc540370 ]

If a UMH process created by fork_usermode_blob() fails to execute,
a pair of struct file allocated by umh_pipe_setup() will leak.

Under normal conditions, the caller (like bpfilter) needs to manage the
lifetime of the UMH and its two pipes. But when fork_usermode_blob()
fails, the caller doesn't really have a way to know what needs to be
done. It seems better to do the cleanup ourselves in this case.

commit 3740d93e37902b31159a82da2d5c8812ed825404 upstream.

Commit 64e90a8acb859 ("Introduce STATIC_USERMODEHELPER to mediate
call_usermodehelper()") added the optiont to disable all
call_usermodehelper() calls by setting STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to
an empty string. When this is done, and crashdump is triggered, it
will crash on null pointer dereference, since we make assumptions
over what call_usermodehelper_exec() did.

This has been reported by Sergey when one triggers a a coredump
with the following configuration:

```
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER=y
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH=""
kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h %e
```

The way disabling the umh was designed was that call_usermodehelper_exec()
would just return early, without an error. But coredump assumes
certain variables are set up for us when this happens, and calls
ile_start_write(cprm.file) with a NULL file.
