[ Upstream commit f7853c34241807bb97673a5e97719123be39a09e ]

Henry reported that rt_mutex_adjust_prio_check() has an ordering
problem and puts the lie to the comment in [7]. Sharing the sort key
between lock-&gt;waiters and owner-&gt;pi_waiters *does* create problems,
since unlike what the comment claims, holding [L] is insufficient.

Notably, consider:

	A
      /   \
     M1   M2
     |     |
     B     C

That is, task A owns both M1 and M2, B and C block on them. In this
case a concurrent chain walk (B &amp; C) will modify their resp. sort keys
in [7] while holding M1-&gt;wait_lock and M2-&gt;wait_lock. So holding [L]
is meaningless, they're different Ls.

This then gives rise to a race condition between [7] and [11], where
the requeue of pi_waiters will observe an inconsistent tree order.

	B				C

  (holds M1-&gt;wait_lock,		(holds M2-&gt;wait_lock,
   holds B-&gt;pi_lock)		 holds A-&gt;pi_lock)

  [7]
  waiter_update_prio();
  ...
  [8]
  raw_spin_unlock(B-&gt;pi_lock);
  ...
  [10]
  raw_spin_lock(A-&gt;pi_lock);

				[11]
				rt_mutex_enqueue_pi();
				// observes inconsistent A-&gt;pi_waiters
				// tree order

Fixing this means either extending the range of the owner lock from
[10-13] to [6-13], with the immediate problem that this means [6-8]
hold both blocked and owner locks, or duplicating the sort key.

Since the locking in chain walk is horrible enough without having to
consider pi_lock nesting rules, duplicate the sort key instead.

By giving each tree their own sort key, the above race becomes
harmless, if C sees B at the old location, then B will correct things
(if they need correcting) when it walks up the chain and reaches A.

[ Upstream commit dea499781a1150d285c62b26659f62fb00824fce ]

Warning happened in trace_buffered_event_disable() at
  WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)

  Call Trace:
   ? __warn+0xa5/0x1b0
   ? trace_buffered_event_disable+0x189/0x1b0

   ftrace_filter_write+0xe6/0x140
   vfs_write+0x1c9/0x6f0
   [...]

The cause of the warning is in __ftrace_event_enable_disable(),
trace_buffered_event_enable() was called once while
trace_buffered_event_disable() was called twice.
Reproduction script show as below, for analysis, see the comments:
 ```
 #!/bin/bash

 cd /sys/kernel/tracing/

 # 1. Register a 'disable_event' command, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was set;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_enable() was called first time;
 echo 'cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' &gt; \
     set_ftrace_filter

 # 2. Enable the event registered, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called first time;
 echo 1 &gt; events/initcall/initcall_finish/enable

 # 3. Try to call into cmdline_proc_show(), then SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was
 #    set again!!!
 cat /proc/cmdline

 # 4. Unregister the 'disable_event' command, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared again;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called second time!!!
 echo '!cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' &gt; \
     set_ftrace_filter
 ```

To fix it, IIUC, we can change to call trace_buffered_event_enable() at
fist time soft-mode enabled, and call trace_buffered_event_disable() at
last time soft-mode disabled.

[ Upstream commit 2d093282b0d4357373497f65db6a05eb0c28b7c8 ]

When pages are removed in rb_remove_pages(), 'cpu_buffer-&gt;read' is set
to 0 in order to make sure any read iterators reset themselves. However,
this will mess 'entries' stating, see following steps:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # 1. Enlarge ring buffer prepare for later reducing:
  # echo 20 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/buffer_size_kb
  # 2. Write a log into ring buffer of cpu0:
  # taskset -c 0 echo "hello1" &gt; trace_marker
  # 3. Read the log:
  # cat per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe
       &lt;...&gt;-332     [000] .....    62.406844: tracing_mark_write: hello1
  # 4. Stop reading and see the stats, now 0 entries, and 1 event readed:
  # cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
   entries: 0
   [...]
   read events: 1
  # 5. Reduce the ring buffer
  # echo 7 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/buffer_size_kb
  # 6. Now entries became unexpected 1 because actually no entries!!!
  # cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
   entries: 1
   [...]
   read events: 0

To fix it, introduce 'page_removed' field to count total removed pages
since last reset, then use it to let read iterators reset themselves
instead of changing the 'read' pointer.

<title>mm: suppress mm fault logging if fatal signal already pending</title>

[ Upstream commit 5f0bc0b042fc77ff70e14c790abdec960cde4ec1 ]

Commit eda0047296a1 ("mm: make the page fault mmap locking killable")
intentionally made it much easier to trigger the "page fault fails
because a fatal signal is pending" situation, by having the mmap locking
fail early in that case.

We have long aborted page faults in other fatal cases when the actual IO
for a page is interrupted by SIGKILL - which is particularly useful for
the traditional case of NFS hanging due to network issues, but local
filesystems could cause it too if you happened to get the SIGKILL while
waiting for a page to be faulted in (eg lock_folio_maybe_drop_mmap()).

So aborting the page fault wasn't a new condition - but it now triggers
earlier, before we even get to 'handle_mm_fault()'.  And as a result the
error doesn't go through our 'fault_signal_pending()' logic, and doesn't
get filtered away there.

Normally you'd never even notice, because if a fatal signal is pending,
the new SIGSEGV we send ends up being ignored anyway.

But it turns out that there is one very noticeable exception: if you
enable 'show_unhandled_signals', the aborted page fault will be logged
in the kernel messages, and you'll get a scary line looking something
like this in your logs:

  pverados[2183248]: segfault at 55e5a00f9ae0 ip 000055e5a00f9ae0 sp 00007ffc0720bea8 error 14 in perl[55e5a00d4000+195000] likely on CPU 10 (core 4, socket 0)

which is rather misleading.  It's not really a segfault at all, it's
just "the thread was killed before the page fault completed, so we
aborted the page fault".

Fix this by just making it clear that a pending fatal signal means that
any new signal coming in after that is implicitly handled.  This will
avoid the misleading logging, since now the signal isn't 'unhandled' any
more.

commit 4b8b3905165ef98386a3c06f196c85d21292d029 upstream.

Commit 6018b585e8c6 ("tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if
they have referenced variables") added a check to fail histogram creation
if save_hist_vars() failed to add histogram to hist_vars list. But the
commit failed to set ret to failed return code before jumping to
unregister histogram, fix it.

commit 4b8b3905165ef98386a3c06f196c85d21292d029 upstream.

Commit 6018b585e8c6 ("tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if
they have referenced variables") added a check to fail histogram creation
if save_hist_vars() failed to add histogram to hist_vars list. But the
commit failed to set ret to failed return code before jumping to
unregister histogram, fix it.

<title>bpf: Repeat check_max_stack_depth for async callbacks</title>

[ Upstream commit b5e9ad522c4ccd32d322877515cff8d47ed731b9 ]

While the check_max_stack_depth function explores call chains emanating
from the main prog, which is typically enough to cover all possible call
chains, it doesn't explore those rooted at async callbacks unless the
async callback will have been directly called, since unlike non-async
callbacks it skips their instruction exploration as they don't
contribute to stack depth.

It could be the case that the async callback leads to a callchain which
exceeds the stack depth, but this is never reachable while only
exploring the entry point from main subprog. Hence, repeat the check for
the main subprog *and* all async callbacks marked by the symbolic
execution pass of the verifier, as execution of the program may begin at
any of them.

Consider functions with following stack depths:
main: 256
async: 256
foo: 256

main:
    rX = async
    bpf_timer_set_callback(...)

async:
    foo()

Here, async is not descended as it does not contribute to stack depth of
main (since it is referenced using bpf_pseudo_func and not
bpf_pseudo_call). However, when async is invoked asynchronously, it will
end up breaching the MAX_BPF_STACK limit by calling foo.

Hence, in addition to main, we also need to explore call chains
beginning at all async callback subprogs in a program.

<title>bpf: Fix subprog idx logic in check_max_stack_depth</title>

[ Upstream commit ba7b3e7d5f9014be65879ede8fd599cb222901c9 ]

The assignment to idx in check_max_stack_depth happens once we see a
bpf_pseudo_call or bpf_pseudo_func. This is not an issue as the rest of
the code performs a few checks and then pushes the frame to the frame
stack, except the case of async callbacks. If the async callback case
causes the loop iteration to be skipped, the idx assignment will be
incorrect on the next iteration of the loop. The value stored in the
frame stack (as the subprogno of the current subprog) will be incorrect.

This leads to incorrect checks and incorrect tail_call_reachable
marking. Save the target subprog in a new variable and only assign to
idx once we are done with the is_async_cb check which may skip pushing
of frame to the frame stack and subsequent stack depth checks and tail
call markings.

<title>kallsyms: strip LTO-only suffixes from promoted global functions</title>

[ Upstream commit 8cc32a9bbf2934d90762d9de0187adcb5ad46a11 ]

Commit 6eb4bd92c1ce ("kallsyms: strip LTO suffixes from static functions")
stripped all function/variable suffixes started with '.' regardless
of whether those suffixes are generated at LTO mode or not. In fact,
as far as I know, in LTO mode, when a static function/variable is
promoted to the global scope, '.llvm.&lt;...&gt;' suffix is added.

The existing mechanism breaks live patch for a LTO kernel even if
no &lt;symbol&gt;.llvm.&lt;...&gt; symbols are involved. For example, for the following
kernel symbols:
  $ grep bpf_verifier_vlog /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffff81549f60 t bpf_verifier_vlog
  ffffffff8268b430 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry
  ffffffff8282a958 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry_ptr
  ffffffff82e12a1f d bpf_verifier_vlog.__already_done
'bpf_verifier_vlog' is a static function. '_entry', '_entry_ptr' and
'__already_done' are static variables used inside 'bpf_verifier_vlog',
so llvm promotes them to file-level static with prefix 'bpf_verifier_vlog.'.
Note that the func-level to file-level static function promotion also
happens without LTO.

Given a symbol name 'bpf_verifier_vlog', with LTO kernel, current mechanism will
return 4 symbols to live patch subsystem which current live patching
subsystem cannot handle it. With non-LTO kernel, only one symbol
is returned.

In [1], we have a lengthy discussion, the suggestion is to separate two
cases:
  (1). new symbols with suffix which are generated regardless of whether
       LTO is enabled or not, and
  (2). new symbols with suffix generated only when LTO is enabled.

The cleanup_symbol_name() should only remove suffixes for case (2).
Case (1) should not be changed so it can work uniformly with or without LTO.

This patch removed LTO-only suffix '.llvm.&lt;...&gt;' so live patching and
tracing should work the same way for non-LTO kernel.
The cleanup_symbol_name() in scripts/kallsyms.c is also changed to have the same
filtering pattern so both kernel and kallsyms tool have the same
expectation on the order of symbols.

<title>sched/psi: use kernfs polling functions for PSI trigger polling</title>

[ Upstream commit aff037078ecaecf34a7c2afab1341815f90fba5e ]

Destroying psi trigger in cgroup_file_release causes UAF issues when
a cgroup is removed from under a polling process. This is happening
because cgroup removal causes a call to cgroup_file_release while the
actual file is still alive. Destroying the trigger at this point would
also destroy its waitqueue head and if there is still a polling process
on that file accessing the waitqueue, it will step on the freed pointer:

do_select
  vfs_poll
                           do_rmdir
                             cgroup_rmdir
                               kernfs_drain_open_files
                                 cgroup_file_release
                                   cgroup_pressure_release
                                     psi_trigger_destroy
                                       wake_up_pollfree(&amp;t-&gt;event_wait)
// vfs_poll is unblocked
                                       synchronize_rcu
                                       kfree(t)
  poll_freewait -&gt; UAF access to the trigger's waitqueue head

Patch [1] fixed this issue for epoll() case using wake_up_pollfree(),
however the same issue exists for synchronous poll() case.
The root cause of this issue is that the lifecycles of the psi trigger's
waitqueue and of the file associated with the trigger are different. Fix
this by using kernfs_generic_poll function when polling on cgroup-specific
psi triggers. It internally uses kernfs_open_node-&gt;poll waitqueue head
with its lifecycle tied to the file's lifecycle. This also renders the
fix in [1] obsolete, so revert it.
