commit d5aad4c2ca057e760a92a9a7d65bd38d72963f27 upstream.

Patch series "ARM: prctl: Reject PR_SET_MDWE where not supported".

I noticed after a recent kernel update that my ARM926 system started
segfaulting on any execve() after calling prctl(PR_SET_MDWE).  After some
investigation it appears that ARMv5 is incapable of providing the
appropriate protections for MDWE, since any readable memory is also
implicitly executable.

The prctl_set_mdwe() function already had some special-case logic added
disabling it on PARISC (commit 793838138c15, "prctl: Disable
prctl(PR_SET_MDWE) on parisc"); this patch series (1) generalizes that
check to use an arch_*() function, and (2) adds a corresponding override
for ARM to disable MDWE on pre-ARMv6 CPUs.

With the series applied, prctl(PR_SET_MDWE) is rejected on ARMv5 and
subsequent execve() calls (as well as mmap(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)) can
succeed instead of unconditionally failing; on ARMv6 the prctl works as it
did previously.

This patch (of 2):

There exist systems other than PARISC where MDWE may not be feasible to
support; rather than cluttering up the generic code with additional
arch-specific logic let's add a generic function for checking MDWE support
and allow each arch to override it as needed.

<title>swiotlb: Fix alignment checks when both allocation and DMA masks are present</title>

[ Upstream commit 51b30ecb73b481d5fac6ccf2ecb4a309c9ee3310 ]

Nicolin reports that swiotlb buffer allocations fail for an NVME device
behind an IOMMU using 64KiB pages. This is because we end up with a
minimum allocation alignment of 64KiB (for the IOMMU to map the buffer
safely) but a minimum DMA alignment mask corresponding to a 4KiB NVME
page (i.e. preserving the 4KiB page offset from the original allocation).
If the original address is not 4KiB-aligned, the allocation will fail
because swiotlb_search_pool_area() erroneously compares these unmasked
bits with the 64KiB-aligned candidate allocation.

Tweak swiotlb_search_pool_area() so that the DMA alignment mask is
reduced based on the required alignment of the allocation.

core-api/dma-api-howto.rst states the following properties of
dma_alloc_coherent():

  | The CPU virtual address and the DMA address are both guaranteed to
  | be aligned to the smallest PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or
  | equal to the requested size.

However, swiotlb_alloc() passes zero for the 'alloc_align_mask'
parameter of swiotlb_find_slots() and so this property is not upheld.
Instead, allocations larger than a page are aligned to PAGE_SIZE,

Calculate the mask corresponding to the page order suitable for holding
the allocation and pass that to swiotlb_find_slots().

[ Upstream commit 04867a7a33324c9c562ee7949dbcaab7aaad1fb4 ]

Commit bbb73a103fbb ("swiotlb: fix a braino in the alignment check fix"),
which was a fix for commit 0eee5ae10256 ("swiotlb: fix slot alignment
checks"), causes a functional regression with vsock in a virtual machine
using bouncing via a restricted DMA SWIOTLB pool.

When virtio allocates the virtqueues for the vsock device using
dma_alloc_coherent(), the SWIOTLB search can return page-unaligned
allocations if 'area-&gt;index' was left unaligned by a previous allocation
from the buffer:

 # Final address in brackets is the SWIOTLB address returned to the caller
 | virtio-pci 0000:00:07.0: orig_addr 0x0 alloc_size 0x2000, iotlb_align_mask 0x800 stride 0x2: got slot 1645-1649/7168 (0x98326800)
 | virtio-pci 0000:00:07.0: orig_addr 0x0 alloc_size 0x2000, iotlb_align_mask 0x800 stride 0x2: got slot 1649-1653/7168 (0x98328800)
 | virtio-pci 0000:00:07.0: orig_addr 0x0 alloc_size 0x2000, iotlb_align_mask 0x800 stride 0x2: got slot 1653-1657/7168 (0x9832a800)

This ends badly (typically buffer corruption and/or a hang) because
swiotlb_alloc() is expecting a page-aligned allocation and so blindly
returns a pointer to the 'struct page' corresponding to the allocation,
therefore double-allocating the first half (2KiB slot) of the 4KiB page.

Fix the problem by treating the allocation alignment separately to any
additional alignment requirements from the device, using the maximum
of the two as the stride to search the buffer slots and taking care
to ensure a minimum of page-alignment for buffers larger than a page.

This also resolves swiotlb allocation failures occuring due to the
inclusion of ~PAGE_MASK in 'iotlb_align_mask' for large allocations and
resulting in alignment requirements exceeding swiotlb_max_mapping_size().

[ Upstream commit fb13b11d53875e28e7fbf0c26b288e4ea676aa9f ]

When a probe is registered at the trace_sys_enter() tracepoint, and that
probe changes the system call number, the old system call still gets
executed.  This worked correctly until commit b6ec41346103 ("core/entry:
Report syscall correctly for trace and audit"), which removed the
re-evaluation of the syscall number after the trace point.

Restore the original semantics by re-evaluating the system call number
after trace_sys_enter().

The performance impact of this re-evaluation is minimal because it only
takes place when a trace point is active, and compared to the actual trace
point overhead the read from a cache hot variable is negligible.

Fixes: b6ec41346103 ("core/entry: Report syscall correctly for trace and audit")

[ Upstream commit fb13b11d53875e28e7fbf0c26b288e4ea676aa9f ]

When a probe is registered at the trace_sys_enter() tracepoint, and that
probe changes the system call number, the old system call still gets
executed.  This worked correctly until commit b6ec41346103 ("core/entry:
Report syscall correctly for trace and audit"), which removed the
re-evaluation of the syscall number after the trace point.

Restore the original semantics by re-evaluating the system call number
after trace_sys_enter().

The performance impact of this re-evaluation is minimal because it only
takes place when a trace point is active, and compared to the actual trace
point overhead the read from a cache hot variable is negligible.

<title>tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers</title>

commit e5d7c1916562f0e856eb3d6f569629fcd535fed2 upstream.

The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file
descriptor are finished.

If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(),
and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the
other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and
that will not get called until the .read() is finished.

The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually
other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake
up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the
one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue.

When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another
thread closed its descriptor.

This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the
readers.

commit 25125a4762835d62ba1e540c1351d447fc1f6c7c upstream.

The update_cpumask(), checks for newly requested cpumask by calling
validate_change(), which returns an error on passing an invalid set
of cpu(s). Independent of the error returned, update_cpumask() always
returns zero, suppressing the error and returning success to the user
on writing an invalid cpu range for a cpuset. Fix it by returning
retval instead, which is returned by validate_change().

<title>ring-buffer: Use wait_event_interruptible() in ring_buffer_wait()</title>

[ Upstream commit 7af9ded0c2caac0a95f33df5cb04706b0f502588 ]

Convert ring_buffer_wait() over to wait_event_interruptible(). The default
condition is to execute the wait loop inside __wait_event() just once.

This does not change the ring_buffer_wait() prototype yet, but
restructures the code so that it can take a "cond" and "data" parameter
and will call wait_event_interruptible() with a helper function as the
condition.

The helper function (rb_wait_cond) takes the cond function and data
parameters. It will first check if the buffer hit the watermark defined by
the "full" parameter and then call the passed in condition parameter. If
either are true, it returns true.

If rb_wait_cond() does not return true, it will set the appropriate
"waiters_pending" flag and returns false.
