[ Upstream commit 659aa050a53817157b7459529538598a6449c1d3 ]

Currently get_free_mem_region() searches for available capacity
in increments equal to the region size being requested. This can
cause the search to take giant steps through the resource leaving
needless gaps and missing available space.

Specifically 'cxl create-region' fails with ERANGE even though capacity
of the given size and CXL's expected 256M x InterleaveWays alignment can
be satisfied.

Replace the total-request-size increment with a next alignment increment
so that the next possible address is always examined for availability.

[ Upstream commit a80712b9cc7e57830260ec5e1feb9cdb59e1da2f ]

The commit:

	cff9b2332ab7 ("kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup")

has changed the semantics of what is to be considered an idle task in
such a way that the idle task of an offline CPU may not carry the
PF_IDLE flag anymore.

However RCU-tasks-trace tests the opposite assertion, still assuming
that idle tasks carry the PF_IDLE flag during their whole lifecycle.

Remove this assumption to avoid spurious warnings but keep the initial
test verifying that the idle task is the current task on any offline
CPU.

[ Upstream commit 9715ed501b585d47444865071674c961c0cc0020 ]

The commit:

	cff9b2332ab7 ("kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup")

has changed the semantics of what is to be considered an idle task in
such a way that CPU boot code preceding the actual idle loop is excluded
from it.

This has however introduced new potential RCU-tasks stalls when either:

1) Grace period is started before init/0 had a chance to set PF_IDLE,
   keeping it stuck in the holdout list until idle ever schedules.

2) Grace period is started when some possible CPUs have never been
   online, keeping their idle tasks stuck in the holdout list until the
   CPU ever boots up.

3) Similar to 1) but with secondary CPUs: Grace period is started
   concurrently with secondary CPU booting, putting its idle task in
   the holdout list because PF_IDLE isn't yet observed on it. It stays
   then stuck in the holdout list until that CPU ever schedules. The
   effect is mitigated here by the hotplug AP thread that must run to
   bring the CPU up.

Fix this with handling the new semantics of PF_IDLE, keeping in mind
that it may or may not be set on an idle task. Take advantage of that to
strengthen the coverage of an RCU-tasks quiescent state within an idle
task, excluding the CPU boot code from it. Only the code running within
the idle loop is now a quiescent state, along with offline CPUs.

Export the RCU point of view as to when a CPU is considered offline
(ie: when does RCU consider that a CPU is sufficiently down in the
hotplug process to not feature any possible read side).

This will be used by RCU-tasks whose vision of an offline CPU should
reasonably match the one of RCU core.

[ Upstream commit 85d68222ddc5f4522e456d97d201166acb50f716 ]

Commit 851a723e45d1 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") added a kfree() call to free any user
provided affinity mask, if present. It was changed later to use
kfree_rcu() in commit 9a5418bc48ba ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu()
in do_set_cpus_allowed()") to avoid a circular locking dependency
problem.

It turns out that even kfree_rcu() isn't safe for avoiding
circular locking problem. As reported by kernel test robot,
the following circular locking dependency now exists:

  &amp;rdp-&gt;nocb_lock --&gt; rcu_node_0 --&gt; &amp;rq-&gt;__lock

Solve this by breaking the rcu_node_0 --&gt; &amp;rq-&gt;__lock chain by moving
the resched_cpu() out from under rcu_node lock.

commit 39a7dc23a1ed0fe81141792a09449d124c5953bd upstream.

If an application blocks on the snapshot or snapshot_raw files, expecting
to be woken up when a snapshot occurs, it will not happen. Or it may
happen with an unexpected result.

That result is that the application will be reading the main buffer
instead of the snapshot buffer. That is because when the snapshot occurs,
the main and snapshot buffers are swapped. But the reader has a descriptor
still pointing to the buffer that it originally connected to.

This is fine for the main buffer readers, as they may be blocked waiting
for a watermark to be hit, and when a snapshot occurs, the data that the
main readers want is now on the snapshot buffer.

But for waiters of the snapshot buffer, they are waiting for an event to
occur that will trigger the snapshot and they can then consume it quickly
to save the snapshot before the next snapshot occurs. But to do this, they
need to read the new snapshot buffer, not the old one that is now
receiving new data.

Also, it does not make sense to have a watermark "buffer_percent" on the
snapshot buffer, as the snapshot buffer is static and does not receive new
data except all at once.

<title>ftrace: Fix modification of direct_function hash while in use</title>

commit d05cb470663a2a1879277e544f69e660208f08f2 upstream.

Masami Hiramatsu reported a memory leak in register_ftrace_direct() where
if the number of new entries are added is large enough to cause two
allocations in the loop:

        for (i = 0; i &lt; size; i++) {
                hlist_for_each_entry(entry, &amp;hash-&gt;buckets[i], hlist) {
                        new = ftrace_add_rec_direct(entry-&gt;ip, addr, &amp;free_hash);
                        if (!new)
                                goto out_remove;
                        entry-&gt;direct = addr;
                }
        }

Where ftrace_add_rec_direct() has:

        if (ftrace_hash_empty(direct_functions) ||
            direct_functions-&gt;count &gt; 2 * (1 &lt;&lt; direct_functions-&gt;size_bits)) {
                struct ftrace_hash *new_hash;
                int size = ftrace_hash_empty(direct_functions) ? 0 :
                        direct_functions-&gt;count + 1;

                if (size &lt; 32)
                        size = 32;

                new_hash = dup_hash(direct_functions, size);
                if (!new_hash)
                        return NULL;

                *free_hash = direct_functions;
                direct_functions = new_hash;
        }

The "*free_hash = direct_functions;" can happen twice, losing the previous
allocation of direct_functions.

But this also exposed a more serious bug.

The modification of direct_functions above is not safe. As
direct_functions can be referenced at any time to find what direct caller
it should call, the time between:

                new_hash = dup_hash(direct_functions, size);
 and
                direct_functions = new_hash;

can have a race with another CPU (or even this one if it gets interrupted),
and the entries being moved to the new hash are not referenced.

That's because the "dup_hash()" is really misnamed and is really a
"move_hash()". It moves the entries from the old hash to the new one.

Now even if that was changed, this code is not proper as direct_functions
should not be updated until the end. That is the best way to handle
function reference changes, and is the way other parts of ftrace handles
this.

The following is done:

 1. Change add_hash_entry() to return the entry it created and inserted
    into the hash, and not just return success or not.

 2. Replace ftrace_add_rec_direct() with add_hash_entry(), and remove
    the former.

 3. Allocate a "new_hash" at the start that is made for holding both the
    new hash entries as well as the existing entries in direct_functions.

 4. Copy (not move) the direct_function entries over to the new_hash.

 5. Copy the entries of the added hash to the new_hash.

 6. If everything succeeds, then use rcu_pointer_assign() to update the
    direct_functions with the new_hash.

This simplifies the code and fixes both the memory leak as well as the
race condition mentioned above.

commit d05cb470663a2a1879277e544f69e660208f08f2 upstream.

Masami Hiramatsu reported a memory leak in register_ftrace_direct() where
if the number of new entries are added is large enough to cause two
allocations in the loop:

        for (i = 0; i &lt; size; i++) {
                hlist_for_each_entry(entry, &amp;hash-&gt;buckets[i], hlist) {
                        new = ftrace_add_rec_direct(entry-&gt;ip, addr, &amp;free_hash);
                        if (!new)
                                goto out_remove;
                        entry-&gt;direct = addr;
                }
        }

Where ftrace_add_rec_direct() has:

        if (ftrace_hash_empty(direct_functions) ||
            direct_functions-&gt;count &gt; 2 * (1 &lt;&lt; direct_functions-&gt;size_bits)) {
                struct ftrace_hash *new_hash;
                int size = ftrace_hash_empty(direct_functions) ? 0 :
                        direct_functions-&gt;count + 1;

                if (size &lt; 32)
                        size = 32;

                new_hash = dup_hash(direct_functions, size);
                if (!new_hash)
                        return NULL;

                *free_hash = direct_functions;
                direct_functions = new_hash;
        }

The "*free_hash = direct_functions;" can happen twice, losing the previous
allocation of direct_functions.

But this also exposed a more serious bug.

<title>ring-buffer: Fix wake ups when buffer_percent is set to 100</title>

commit 623b1f896fa8a669a277ee5a258307a16c7377a3 upstream.

The tracefs file "buffer_percent" is to allow user space to set a
water-mark on how much of the tracing ring buffer needs to be filled in
order to wake up a blocked reader.

 0 - is to wait until any data is in the buffer
 1 - is to wait for 1% of the sub buffers to be filled
 50 - would be half of the sub buffers are filled with data
 100 - is not to wake the waiter until the ring buffer is completely full

Unfortunately the test for being full was:

	dirty = ring_buffer_nr_dirty_pages(buffer, cpu);
	return (dirty * 100) &gt; (full * nr_pages);

Where "full" is the value for "buffer_percent".

There is two issues with the above when full == 100.

1. dirty * 100 &gt; 100 * nr_pages will never be true
   That is, the above is basically saying that if the user sets
   buffer_percent to 100, more pages need to be dirty than exist in the
   ring buffer!

2. The page that the writer is on is never considered dirty, as dirty
   pages are only those that are full. When the writer goes to a new
   sub-buffer, it clears the contents of that sub-buffer.

That is, even if the check was "&gt;=" it would still not be equal as the
most pages that can be considered "dirty" is nr_pages - 1.

To fix this, add one to dirty and use "&gt;=" in the compare.

<title>kexec: select CRYPTO from KEXEC_FILE instead of depending on it</title>

[ Upstream commit e63bde3d9417f8318d6dd0d0fafa35ebf307aabd ]

All other users of crypto code use 'select' instead of 'depends on', so do
the same thing with KEXEC_FILE for consistency.

In practice this makes very little difference as kernels with kexec
support are very likely to also include some other feature that already
selects both crypto and crypto_sha256, but being consistent here helps for
usability as well as to avoid potential circular dependencies.

This reverts the dependency back to what it was originally before commit
74ca317c26a3f ("kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for
new syscall"), which changed changed it with the comment "This should be
safer as "select" is not recursive", but that appears to have been done in
error, as "select" is indeed recursive, and there are no other
dependencies that prevent CRYPTO_SHA256 from being selected here.

[ Upstream commit c1ad12ee0efc07244be37f69311e6f7c4ac98e62 ]

The cleanup for the CONFIG_KEXEC Kconfig logic accidentally changed the
'depends on CRYPTO=y' dependency to a plain 'depends on CRYPTO', which
causes a link failure when all the crypto support is in a loadable module
and kexec_file support is built-in:

x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `__x64_sys_kexec_file_load':
(.text+0x32e30a): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_shash'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e58e): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_update'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e6ee): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_final'

Both s390 and x86 have this problem, while ppc64 and riscv have the
correct dependency already.  On riscv, the dependency is only used for the
purgatory, not for the kexec_file code itself, which may be a bit
surprising as it means that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, it is possible to enable
KEXEC_FILE but then the purgatory code is silently left out.

Move this into the common Kconfig.kexec file in a way that is correct
everywhere, using the dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256=y only when the
purgatory code is available.  This requires reversing the dependency
between ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY and KEXEC_FILE, but the effect
remains the same, other than making riscv behave like the other ones.

On s390, there is an additional dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256_S390, which
should technically not be required but gives better performance.  Remove
this dependency here, noting that it was not present in the initial
Kconfig code but was brought in without an explanation in commit
71406883fd357 ("s390/kexec_file: Add kexec_file_load system call").
