[ Upstream commit 6a5a148aaf14747570cc634f9cdfcb0393f5617f ]

bpf_probe_read_kernel() has a __weak definition in core.c and another
definition with an incompatible prototype in kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c,
when CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS is enabled.

Since the two are incompatible, there cannot be a shared declaration in
a header file, but the lack of a prototype causes a W=1 warning:

kernel/bpf/core.c:1638:12: error: no previous prototype for 'bpf_probe_read_kernel' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

On 32-bit architectures, the local prototype

u64 __weak bpf_probe_read_kernel(void *dst, u32 size, const void *unsafe_ptr)

passes arguments in other registers as the one in bpf_trace.c

BPF_CALL_3(bpf_probe_read_kernel, void *, dst, u32, size,
            const void *, unsafe_ptr)

which uses 64-bit arguments in pairs of registers.

As both versions of the function are fairly simple and only really
differ in one line, just move them into a header file as an inline
function that does not add any overhead for the bpf_trace.c callers
and actually avoids a function call for the other one.

<title>bpf: bpf_sk_storage: Fix the missing uncharge in sk_omem_alloc</title>

[ Upstream commit 55d49f750b1cb1f177fb1b00ae02cba4613bcfb7 ]

The commit c83597fa5dc6 ("bpf: Refactor some inode/task/sk storage functions
for reuse"), refactored the bpf_{sk,task,inode}_storage_free() into
bpf_local_storage_unlink_nolock() which then later renamed to
bpf_local_storage_destroy(). The commit accidentally passed the
"bool uncharge_mem = false" argument to bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock()
which then stopped the uncharge from happening to the sk-&gt;sk_omem_alloc.

This missing uncharge only happens when the sk is going away (during
__sk_destruct).

This patch fixes it by always passing "uncharge_mem = true". It is a
noop to the task/inode/cgroup storage because they do not have the
map_local_storage_(un)charge enabled in the map_ops. A followup patch
will be done in bpf-next to remove the uncharge_mem argument.

A selftest is added in the next patch.

It complains about acquiring a local_lock while holding a raw_spin_lock.
It means it should not allocate memory while holding a raw_spin_lock
since it is not safe for RT.

raw_spin_lock is needed because bpf_local_storage supports tracing
context. In particular for task local storage, it is easy to
get a "current" task PTR_TO_BTF_ID in tracing bpf prog.
However, task (and cgroup) local storage has already been moved to
bpf mem allocator which can be used after raw_spin_lock.

The splat is for the sk storage. For sk (and inode) storage,
it has not been moved to bpf mem allocator. Using raw_spin_lock or not,
kzalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) could theoretically be unsafe in tracing context.
However, the local storage helper requires a verifier accepted
sk pointer (PTR_TO_BTF_ID), it is hypothetical if that (mean running
a bpf prog in a kzalloc unsafe context and also able to hold a verifier
accepted sk pointer) could happen.

This patch avoids kzalloc after raw_spin_lock to silent the splat.
There is an existing kzalloc before the raw_spin_lock. At that point,
a kzalloc is very likely required because a lookup has just been done
before. Thus, this patch always does the kzalloc before acquiring
the raw_spin_lock and remove the later kzalloc usage after the
raw_spin_lock. After this change, it will have a charge and then
uncharge during the syscall bpf_map_update_elem() code path.
This patch opts for simplicity and not continue the old
optimization to save one charge and uncharge.

This issue is dated back to the very first commit of bpf_sk_storage
which had been refactored multiple times to create task, inode, and
cgroup storage. This patch uses a Fixes tag with a more recent
commit that should be easier to do backport.

[ Upstream commit 6764e767f4af1e35f87f3497e1182d945de37f93 ]

__bpf_prog_enter_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before
performing the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_recur() uses the previously set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
value.

__bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
after the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() uses an uninitialized value. This does not
look right. If I read the entry trampoline code right, then bpf_tramp_run_ctx
isn't initialized upfront.

Align __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() with __bpf_prog_enter_recur() and
set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before the recursion check is made.
Remove the assignment of saved_run_ctx in kern_sys_bpf() since it happens
a few cycles later.

[ Upstream commit 7645629f7dc88cd777f98970134bf1a54c8d77e3 ]

If __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() detects recursion then it returns
0 without undoing rcu_read_lock_trace(), migrate_disable() or
decrementing the recursion counter. This is fine in the JIT case because
the JIT code will jump in the 0 case to the end and invoke the matching
exit trampoline (__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur()).

This is not the case in kern_sys_bpf() which returns directly to the
caller with an error code.

Add __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() as clean up in the recursion case.

[ Upstream commit 7e9be1124dbe7888907e82cab20164578e3f9ab7 ]

Since set element reset is not integrated into nf_tables' transaction
logic, an explicit log call is needed, similar to NFT_MSG_GETOBJ_RESET
handling.

For the sake of simplicity, catchall element reset will always generate
a dedicated log entry. This relieves nf_tables_dump_set() from having to
adjust the logged element count depending on whether a catchall element
was found or not.

<title>memfd: replace ratcheting feature from vm.memfd_noexec with hierarchy</title>

[ Upstream commit 9876cfe8ec1cb3c88de31f4d58d57b0e7e22bcc4 ]

This sysctl has the very unusual behaviour of not allowing any user (even
CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to reduce the restriction setting, meaning that if you were
to set this sysctl to a more restrictive option in the host pidns you
would need to reboot your machine in order to reset it.

The justification given in [1] is that this is a security feature and thus
it should not be possible to disable.  Aside from the fact that we have
plenty of security-related sysctls that can be disabled after being
enabled (fs.protected_symlinks for instance), the protection provided by
the sysctl is to stop users from being able to create a binary and then
execute it.  A user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can trivially do this without
memfd_create(2):

  % cat mount-memfd.c
  #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
  #include &lt;string.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
  #include &lt;linux/mount.h&gt;

  #define SHELLCODE "#!/bin/echo this file was executed from this totally private tmpfs:"

  int main(void)
  {
  	int fsfd = fsopen("tmpfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
  	assert(fsfd &gt;= 0);
  	assert(!fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 2));

  	int dfd = fsmount(fsfd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, 0);
  	assert(dfd &gt;= 0);

  	int execfd = openat(dfd, "exe", O_CREAT | O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC, 0782);
  	assert(execfd &gt;= 0);
  	assert(write(execfd, SHELLCODE, strlen(SHELLCODE)) == strlen(SHELLCODE));
  	assert(!close(execfd));

  	char *execpath = NULL;
  	char *argv[] = { "bad-exe", NULL }, *envp[] = { NULL };
  	execfd = openat(dfd, "exe", O_PATH | O_CLOEXEC);
  	assert(execfd &gt;= 0);
  	assert(asprintf(&amp;execpath, "/proc/self/fd/%d", execfd) &gt; 0);
  	assert(!execve(execpath, argv, envp));
  }
  % ./mount-memfd
  this file was executed from this totally private tmpfs: /proc/self/fd/5
  %

Given that it is possible for CAP_SYS_ADMIN users to create executable
binaries without memfd_create(2) and without touching the host filesystem
(not to mention the many other things a CAP_SYS_ADMIN process would be
able to do that would be equivalent or worse), it seems strange to cause a
fair amount of headache to admins when there doesn't appear to be an
actual security benefit to blocking this.  There appear to be concerns
about confused-deputy-esque attacks[2] but a confused deputy that can
write to arbitrary sysctls is a bigger security issue than executable
memfds.

/* New API */

The primary requirement from the original author appears to be more based
on the need to be able to restrict an entire system in a hierarchical
manner[3], such that child namespaces cannot re-enable executable memfds.

So, implement that behaviour explicitly -- the vm.memfd_noexec scope is
evaluated up the pidns tree to &amp;init_pid_ns and you have the most
restrictive value applied to you.  The new lower limit you can set
vm.memfd_noexec is whatever limit applies to your parent.

Note that a pidns will inherit a copy of the parent pidns's effective
vm.memfd_noexec setting at unshare() time.  This matches the existing
behaviour, and it also ensures that a pidns will never have its
vm.memfd_noexec setting *lowered* behind its back (but it will be raised
if the parent raises theirs).

/* Backwards Compatibility */

As the previous version of the sysctl didn't allow you to lower the
setting at all, there are no backwards compatibility issues with this
aspect of the change.

However it should be noted that now that the setting is completely
hierarchical.  Previously, a cloned pidns would just copy the current
pidns setting, meaning that if the parent's vm.memfd_noexec was changed it
wouldn't propoagate to existing pid namespaces.  Now, the restriction
applies recursively.  This is a uAPI change, however:

 * The sysctl is very new, having been merged in 6.3.
 * Several aspects of the sysctl were broken up until this patchset and
   the other patchset by Jeff Xu last month.

And thus it seems incredibly unlikely that any real users would run into
this issue. In the worst case, if this causes userspace isues we could
make it so that modifying the setting follows the hierarchical rules but
the restriction checking uses the cached copy.

cap_sys_admin to cap_net_admin+cap_bpf, our networking-bpf program
failed to start. Because it failed the bpf verifier, and the error log
is "R3 pointer comparison prohibited".

A simple reproducer as follows,

SEC("cls-ingress")
int ingress(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
	struct iphdr *iph = (void *)(long)skb-&gt;data + sizeof(struct ethhdr);

	if ((long)(iph + 1) &gt; (long)skb-&gt;data_end)
		return TC_ACT_STOLEN;
	return TC_ACT_OK;
}

Per discussion with Yonghong and Alexei [1], comparison of two packet
pointers is not a pointer leak. This patch fixes it.

Our local kernel is 6.1.y and we expect this fix to be backported to
6.1.y, so stable is CCed.

commit 2b8272ff4a70b866106ae13c36be7ecbef5d5da2 upstream.

Xiongfeng reported and debugged a self deadlock of the task which initiates
and controls a CPU hot-unplug operation vs. the CFS bandwidth timer.

    CPU1      			                 	 CPU2

T1 sets cfs_quota
   starts hrtimer cfs_bandwidth 'period_timer'
T1 is migrated to CPU2
						T1 initiates offlining of CPU1
Hotplug operation starts
  ...
'period_timer' expires and is re-enqueued on CPU1
  ...
take_cpu_down()
  CPU1 shuts down and does not handle timers
  anymore. They have to be migrated in the
  post dead hotplug steps by the control task.

						T1 runs the post dead offline operation
					      	T1 is scheduled out
						T1 waits for 'period_timer' to expire

T1 waits there forever if it is scheduled out before it can execute the hrtimer
offline callback hrtimers_dead_cpu().

Cure this by delegating the hotplug control operation to a worker thread on
an online CPU. This takes the initiating user space task, which might be
affected by the bandwidth timer, completely out of the picture.
