[ Upstream commit 0281b919e175bb9c3128bd3872ac2903e9436e3f ]

The following race is possible between bpf_timer_cancel_and_free
and bpf_timer_cancel. It will lead a UAF on the timer-&gt;timer.

bpf_timer_cancel();
	spin_lock();
	t = timer-&gt;time;
	spin_unlock();

					bpf_timer_cancel_and_free();
						spin_lock();
						t = timer-&gt;timer;
						timer-&gt;timer = NULL;
						spin_unlock();
						hrtimer_cancel(&amp;t-&gt;timer);
						kfree(t);

	/* UAF on t */
	hrtimer_cancel(&amp;t-&gt;timer);

In bpf_timer_cancel_and_free, this patch frees the timer-&gt;timer
after a rcu grace period. This requires a rcu_head addition
to the "struct bpf_hrtimer". Another kfree(t) happens in bpf_timer_init,
this does not need a kfree_rcu because it is still under the
spin_lock and timer-&gt;timer has not been visible by others yet.

In bpf_timer_cancel, rcu_read_lock() is added because this helper
can be used in a non rcu critical section context (e.g. from
a sleepable bpf prog). Other timer-&gt;timer usages in helpers.c
have been audited, bpf_timer_cancel() is the only place where
timer-&gt;timer is used outside of the spin_lock.

Another solution considered is to mark a t-&gt;flag in bpf_timer_cancel
and clear it after hrtimer_cancel() is done.  In bpf_timer_cancel_and_free,
it busy waits for the flag to be cleared before kfree(t). This patch
goes with a straight forward solution and frees timer-&gt;timer after
a rcu grace period.

commit 944d5fe50f3f03daacfea16300e656a1691c4a23 upstream.

On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall
slowdowns for everything.  So put a lock on the path in order to
serialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called at
too high of a frequency and saturate the machine.

<title>tracing: Inform kmemleak of saved_cmdlines allocation</title>

commit 2394ac4145ea91b92271e675a09af2a9ea6840b7 upstream.

The allocation of the struct saved_cmdlines_buffer structure changed from:

        s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL);
	s-&gt;saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);

to:

	orig_size = sizeof(*s) + val * TASK_COMM_LEN;
	order = get_order(orig_size);
	size = 1 &lt;&lt; (order + PAGE_SHIFT);
	page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order);
	if (!page)
		return NULL;

	s = page_address(page);
	memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s));

	s-&gt;saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);

Where that s-&gt;saved_cmdlines allocation looks to be a dangling allocation
to kmemleak. That's because kmemleak only keeps track of kmalloc()
allocations. For allocations that use page_alloc() directly, the kmemleak
needs to be explicitly informed about it.

Add kmemleak_alloc() and kmemleak_free() around the page allocation so
that it doesn't give the following false positive:

unreferenced object 0xffff8881010c8000 (size 32760):
  comm "swapper", pid 0, jiffies 4294667296

commit bdbddb109c75365d22ec4826f480c5e75869e1cb upstream.

Commit a8b9cf62ade1 ("ftrace: Fix DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_REGS by
default") attempted to fix an issue with direct trampolines on x86, see
its description for details. However, it wrongly referenced the
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS config option and the problem is still
present.

Add the missing "CONFIG_" prefix for the logic to work as intended.

commit a8b9cf62ade1bf17261a979fc97e40c2d7842353 upstream.

The commit 60c8971899f3 ("ftrace: Make DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS
and !WITH_REGS") changed DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_ARGS when there
are multiple ftrace_ops at the same function, but since the x86 only
support to jump to direct_call from ftrace_regs_caller, when we set
the function tracer on the same target function on x86, ftrace-direct
does not work as below (this actually works on arm64.)

At first, insmod ftrace-direct.ko to put a direct_call on
'wake_up_process()'.

 # insmod kernel/samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct.ko
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.686958: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [007] ..s1.   564.687836: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.690926: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.696872: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [007] ..s1.   565.191982: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63

Setup a function filter to the 'wake_up_process' too, and enable it.

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
 # echo wake_up_process &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 # echo function &gt; current_tracer
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.   686.180972: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.   686.186919: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] ..s3.   686.264049: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d.h6.   686.515216: wake_up_process &lt;-kick_pool
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d.h6.   686.691386: wake_up_process &lt;-kick_pool

Then, only function tracer is shown on x86.
But if you enable 'kprobe on ftrace' event (which uses SAVE_REGS flag)
on the same function, it is shown again.

 # echo 'p wake_up_process' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # echo 1 &gt; events/kprobes/p_wake_up_process_0/enable
 # echo &gt; trace
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s2.  2710.345919: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.  2710.345923: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.  2710.345928: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s2.  2710.349931: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.  2710.349934: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.  2710.349937: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17

To fix this issue, use SAVE_REGS flag for multiple ftrace_ops flag of
direct_call by default.

commit a8b9cf62ade1bf17261a979fc97e40c2d7842353 upstream.

The commit 60c8971899f3 ("ftrace: Make DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS
and !WITH_REGS") changed DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_ARGS when there
are multiple ftrace_ops at the same function, but since the x86 only
support to jump to direct_call from ftrace_regs_caller, when we set
the function tracer on the same target function on x86, ftrace-direct
does not work as below (this actually works on arm64.)

At first, insmod ftrace-direct.ko to put a direct_call on
'wake_up_process()'.

 # insmod kernel/samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct.ko
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.686958: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [007] ..s1.   564.687836: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.690926: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.696872: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [007] ..s1.   565.191982: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63

Setup a function filter to the 'wake_up_process' too, and enable it.

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
 # echo wake_up_process &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 # echo function &gt; current_tracer
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.   686.180972: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.   686.186919: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] ..s3.   686.264049: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d.h6.   686.515216: wake_up_process &lt;-kick_pool
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d.h6.   686.691386: wake_up_process &lt;-kick_pool

Then, only function tracer is shown on x86.
But if you enable 'kprobe on ftrace' event (which uses SAVE_REGS flag)
on the same function, it is shown again.

 # echo 'p wake_up_process' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # echo 1 &gt; events/kprobes/p_wake_up_process_0/enable
 # echo &gt; trace
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s2.  2710.345919: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.  2710.345923: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.  2710.345928: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s2.  2710.349931: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.  2710.349934: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.  2710.349937: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17

To fix this issue, use SAVE_REGS flag for multiple ftrace_ops flag of
direct_call by default.

commit 66bbea9ed6446b8471d365a22734dc00556c4785 upstream.

The return type for ring_buffer_poll_wait() is __poll_t. This is behind
the scenes an unsigned where we can set event bits. In case of a
non-allocated CPU, we do return instead -EINVAL (0xffffffea). Lucky us,
this ends up setting few error bits (EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLNVAL), so
user-space at least is aware something went wrong.

Nonetheless, this is an incorrect code. Replace that -EINVAL with a
proper EPOLLERR to clean that output. As this doesn't change the
behaviour, there's no need to treat this change as a bug fix.

<title>getrusage: use sig-&gt;stats_lock rather than lock_task_sighand()</title>

commit f7ec1cd5cc7ef3ad964b677ba82b8b77f1c93009 upstream.

lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup. If NR_CPUS threads call
getrusage() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, spin_lock_irq
will spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.

Change getrusage() to use sig-&gt;stats_lock, it was specifically designed
for this type of use. This way it runs lockless in the likely case.

TODO:
	- Change do_task_stat() to use sig-&gt;stats_lock too, then we can
	  remove spin_lock_irq(siglock) in wait_task_zombie().

	- Turn sig-&gt;stats_lock into seqcount_rwlock_t, this way the
	  readers in the slow mode won't exclude each other. See
	  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913154907.GA26210@redhat.com/

	- stats_lock has to disable irqs because -&gt;siglock can be taken
	  in irq context, it would be very nice to change __exit_signal()
	  to avoid the siglock-&gt;stats_lock dependency.

commit daa694e4137571b4ebec330f9a9b4d54aa8b8089 upstream.

Patch series "getrusage: use sig-&gt;stats_lock", v2.


This patch (of 2):

thread_group_cputime() does its own locking, we can safely shift
thread_group_cputime_adjusted() which does another for_each_thread loop
outside of -&gt;siglock protected section.

This is also preparation for the next patch which changes getrusage() to
use stats_lock instead of siglock, thread_group_cputime() takes the same
lock.  With the current implementation recursive read_seqbegin_or_lock()
is fine, thread_group_cputime() can't enter the slow mode if the caller
holds stats_lock, yet this looks more safe and better performance-wise.

commit aac8a59537dfc704ff344f1aacfd143c089ee20f upstream.

This reverts commit ca10d851b9ad0338c19e8e3089e24d565ebfffd7.

The commit allowed workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask() to clear __WQ_ORDERED
on now removed implicitly ordered workqueues. This was incorrect in that
system-wide config change shouldn't break ordering properties of all
workqueues. The reason why apply_workqueue_attrs() path was allowed to do so
was because it was targeting the specific workqueue - either the workqueue
had WQ_SYSFS set or the workqueue user specifically tried to change
max_active, both of which indicate that the workqueue doesn't need to be
ordered.

The implicitly ordered workqueue promotion was removed by the previous
commit 3bc1e711c26b ("workqueue: Don't implicitly make UNBOUND workqueues w/
@max_active==1 ordered"). However, it didn't update this path and broke
build. Let's revert the commit which was incorrect in the first place which
also fixes build.

commit 9704669c386f9bbfef2e002e7e690c56b7dcf5de upstream.

Fix to search a field from the structure which has anonymous union
correctly.
Since the reference `type` pointer was updated in the loop, the search
loop suddenly aborted where it hits an anonymous union. Thus it can not
find the field after the anonymous union. This avoids updating the
cursor `type` pointer in the loop.
