commit 9a574ea9069be30b835a3da772c039993c43369b upstream.

Commit 71fee48f ("tick-sched: Fix idle and iowait sleeptime accounting vs
CPU hotplug") preserved total idle sleep time and iowait sleeptime across
CPU hotplug events.

Similar reasoning applies to the number of idle calls and idle sleeps to
get the proper average of sleep time per idle invocation.

Preserve those fields too.

<title>rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying</title>

[ Upstream commit e787644caf7628ad3269c1fbd321c3255cf51710 ]

When the CPU goes idle for the last time during the CPU down hotplug
process, RCU reports a final quiescent state for the current CPU. If
this quiescent state propagates up to the top, some tasks may then be
woken up to complete the grace period: the main grace period kthread
and/or the expedited main workqueue (or kworker).

If those kthreads have a SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Since this happens
after hrtimers have been migrated at CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage, the
timer gets ignored. Therefore if the RCU kthreads are waiting for RT
bandwidth to be available, they may never be actually scheduled.

This triggers TREE03 rcutorture hangs:

	 rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
	 rcu:     4-...!: (1 GPs behind) idle=9874/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=0/0 fqs=20 rcuc=21071 jiffies(starved)

The situation can't be solved with just unpinning the timer. The hrtimer
infrastructure and the nohz heuristics involved in finding the best
remote target for an unpinned timer would then also need to handle
enqueues from an offline CPU in the most horrendous way.

So fix this on the RCU side instead and defer the wake up to an online
CPU if it's too late for the local one.

[ Upstream commit 2b44760609e9eaafc9d234a6883d042fc21132a7 ]

Running the following two commands in parallel on a multi-processor
AArch64 machine can sporadically produce an unexpected warning about
duplicate histogram entries:

 $ while true; do
     echo hist:key=id.syscall:val=hitcount &gt; \
       /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
     cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/hist
     sleep 0.001
   done
 $ stress-ng --sysbadaddr $(nproc)

The warning looks as follows:

The problem appears to be caused by CPU reordering of writes issued from
__tracing_map_insert().

The check for the presence of an element with a given key in this
function is:

 val = READ_ONCE(entry-&gt;val);
 if (val &amp;&amp; keys_match(key, val-&gt;key, map-&gt;key_size)) ...

The write of a new entry is:

 elt = get_free_elt(map);
 memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);
 entry-&gt;val = elt;

The "memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);" and "entry-&gt;val = elt;"
stores may become visible in the reversed order on another CPU. This
second CPU might then incorrectly determine that a new key doesn't match
an already present val-&gt;key and subsequently insert a new element,
resulting in a duplicate.

Fix the problem by adding a write barrier between
"memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);" and "entry-&gt;val = elt;", and for
good measure, also use WRITE_ONCE(entry-&gt;val, elt) for publishing the
element. The sequence pairs with the mentioned "READ_ONCE(entry-&gt;val);"
and the "val-&gt;key" check which has an address dependency.

The barrier is placed on a path executed when adding an element for
a new key. Subsequent updates targeting the same key remain unaffected.

From the user's perspective, the issue was introduced by commit
c193707dde77 ("tracing: Remove code which merges duplicates"), which
followed commit cbf4100efb8f ("tracing: Add support to detect and avoid
duplicates"). The previous code operated differently; it inherently
expected potential races which result in duplicates but merged them
later when they occurred.

The problem appears to be caused by CPU reordering of writes issued from
__tracing_map_insert().

The check for the presence of an element with a given key in this
function is:

 val = READ_ONCE(entry-&gt;val);
 if (val &amp;&amp; keys_match(key, val-&gt;key, map-&gt;key_size)) ...

The write of a new entry is:

 elt = get_free_elt(map);
 memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);
 entry-&gt;val = elt;

The "memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);" and "entry-&gt;val = elt;"
stores may become visible in the reversed order on another CPU. This
second CPU might then incorrectly determine that a new key doesn't match
an already present val-&gt;key and subsequently insert a new element,
resulting in a duplicate.

Fix the problem by adding a write barrier between
"memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);" and "entry-&gt;val = elt;", and for
good measure, also use WRITE_ONCE(entry-&gt;val, elt) for publishing the
element. The sequence pairs with the mentioned "READ_ONCE(entry-&gt;val);"
and the "val-&gt;key" check which has an address dependency.

The barrier is placed on a path executed when adding an element for
a new key. Subsequent updates targeting the same key remain unaffected.

From the user's perspective, the issue was introduced by commit
c193707dde77 ("tracing: Remove code which merges duplicates"), which
followed commit cbf4100efb8f ("tracing: Add support to detect and avoid
duplicates"). The previous code operated differently; it inherently
expected potential races which result in duplicates but merged them
later when they occurred.

commit 7d4b5d7a37bdd63a5a3371b988744b060d5bb86f upstream.

In preparation for subsequent changes, introduce a specialized variant
of async_schedule_dev() that will not invoke the argument function
synchronously when it cannot be scheduled for asynchronous execution.

The new function, async_schedule_dev_nocall(), will be used for fixing
possible deadlocks in the system-wide power management core code.

In preparation for subsequent changes, split async_schedule_node_domain()
in two pieces so as to allow the bottom part of it to be called from a
somewhat different code path.

No functional impact.

commit 71cd7e80cfde548959952eac7063aeaea1f2e1c6 upstream.

An S4 (suspend to disk) test on the LoongArch 3A6000 platform sometimes
fails with the following error messaged in the dmesg log:

	Invalid LZO compressed length

That happens because when compressing/decompressing the image, the
synchronization between the control thread and the compress/decompress/crc
thread is based on a relaxed ordering interface, which is unreliable, and the
following situation may occur:

CPU 0					CPU 1
save_image_lzo				lzo_compress_threadfn
					  atomic_set(&amp;d-&gt;stop, 1);
  atomic_read(&amp;data[thr].stop)
  data[thr].cmp = data[thr].cmp_len;
	  				  WRITE data[thr].cmp_len

Then CPU0 gets a stale cmp_len and writes it to disk. During resume from S4,
wrong cmp_len is loaded.

To maintain data consistency between the two threads, use the acquire/release
variants of atomic set and read operations.

[ Upstream commit 4f41d30cd6dc865c3cbc1a852372321eba6d4e4c ]

When appending "[defcmd]" to 'kdb_prompt_str', the size of the string
already in the buffer should be taken into account.

An option could be to switch from strncat() to strlcat() which does the
correct test to avoid such an overflow.

However, this actually looks as dead code, because 'defcmd_in_progress'
can't be true here.
See a more detailed explanation at [1].

<title>bpf: Reject variable offset alu on PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 22c7fa171a02d310e3a3f6ed46a698ca8a0060ed ]

For PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS, check_flow_keys_access() only uses fixed off
for validation. However, variable offset ptr alu is not prohibited
for this ptr kind. So the variable offset is not checked.

The following prog is accepted:

  func#0 @0
  0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0
  0: (bf) r6 = r1                       ; R1=ctx() R6_w=ctx()
  1: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r6 +144)        ; R6_w=ctx() R7_w=flow_keys()
  2: (b7) r8 = 1024                     ; R8_w=1024
  3: (37) r8 /= 1                       ; R8_w=scalar()
  4: (57) r8 &amp;= 1024                    ; R8_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,
  smax=umax=smax32=umax32=1024,var_off=(0x0; 0x400))
  5: (0f) r7 += r8
  mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 5 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r8 stack= before 4: (57) r8 &amp;= 1024
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r8 stack= before 3: (37) r8 /= 1
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r8 stack= before 2: (b7) r8 = 1024
  6: R7_w=flow_keys(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=1024,var_off
  =(0x0; 0x400)) R8_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=1024,
  var_off=(0x0; 0x400))
  6: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r7 +0)          ; R0_w=scalar()
  7: (95) exit

This prog loads flow_keys to r7, and adds the variable offset r8
to r7, and finally causes out-of-bounds access:

Fix this by rejecting ptr alu with variable offset on flow_keys.
Applying the patch rejects the program with "R7 pointer arithmetic
on flow_keys prohibited".

commit 715d82ba636cb3629a6e18a33bb9dbe53f9936ee upstream.

The following case can cause a crash due to missing attach_btf:

1) load rawtp program
2) load fentry program with rawtp as target_fd
3) create tracing link for fentry program with target_fd = 0
4) repeat 3

In the end we have:

- prog-&gt;aux-&gt;dst_trampoline == NULL
- tgt_prog == NULL (because we did not provide target_fd to link_create)
- prog-&gt;aux-&gt;attach_btf == NULL (the program was loaded with attach_prog_fd=X)
- the program was loaded for tgt_prog but we have no way to find out which one

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000058
    Call Trace:
     &lt;TASK&gt;
     ? __die+0x20/0x70

     do_syscall_64+0x41/0xf0
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76

Return -EINVAL in this situation.

<title>tick-sched: Fix idle and iowait sleeptime accounting vs CPU hotplug</title>

commit 71fee48fb772ac4f6cfa63dbebc5629de8b4cc09 upstream.

When offlining and onlining CPUs the overall reported idle and iowait
times as reported by /proc/stat jump backward and forward:

cpu  132 0 176 225249 47 6 6 21 0 0
cpu0 80 0 115 112575 33 3 4 18 0 0
cpu1 52 0 60 112673 13 3 1 2 0 0

cpu  133 0 177 226681 47 6 6 21 0 0
cpu0 80 0 116 113387 33 3 4 18 0 0

cpu  133 0 178 114431 33 6 6 21 0 0 &lt;---- jump backward
cpu0 80 0 116 114247 33 3 4 18 0 0
cpu1 52 0 61 183 0 3 1 2 0 0        &lt;---- idle + iowait start with 0

cpu  133 0 178 228956 47 6 6 21 0 0 &lt;---- jump forward
cpu0 81 0 117 114929 33 3 4 18 0 0

Reason for this is that get_idle_time() in fs/proc/stat.c has different
sources for both values depending on if a CPU is online or offline:

- if a CPU is online the values may be taken from its per cpu
  tick_cpu_sched structure

- if a CPU is offline the values are taken from its per cpu cpustat
  structure

The problem is that the per cpu tick_cpu_sched structure is set to zero on
CPU offline. See tick_cancel_sched_timer() in kernel/time/tick-sched.c.

Therefore when a CPU is brought offline and online afterwards both its idle
and iowait sleeptime will be zero, causing a jump backward in total system
idle and iowait sleeptime. In a similar way if a CPU is then brought
offline again the total idle and iowait sleeptimes will jump forward.

It looks like this behavior was introduced with commit 4b0c0f294f60
("tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down").

This was only noticed now on s390, since we switched to generic idle time
reporting with commit be76ea614460 ("s390/idle: remove arch_cpu_idle_time()
and corresponding code").

Fix this by preserving the values of idle_sleeptime and iowait_sleeptime
members of the per-cpu tick_sched structure on CPU hotplug.
