commit 905415ff3ffb1d7e5afa62bacabd79776bd24606 upstream.

Harden build ID parsing logic, adding explicit READ_ONCE() where it's
important to have a consistent value read and validated just once.

Also, as pointed out by Andi Kleen, we need to make sure that entire ELF
note is within a page bounds, so move the overflow check up and add an
extra note_size boundaries validation.

Fixes tag below points to the code that moved this code into
lib/buildid.c, and then subsequently was used in perf subsystem, making
this code exposed to perf_event_open() users in v5.12+.

<title>debugobjects: Fix conditions in fill_pool()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 684d28feb8546d1e9597aa363c3bfcf52fe250b7 upstream.

fill_pool() uses 'obj_pool_min_free' to decide whether objects should be
handed back to the kmem cache. But 'obj_pool_min_free' records the lowest
historical value of the number of objects in the object pool and not the
minimum number of objects which should be kept in the pool.

Use 'debug_objects_pool_min_level' instead, which holds the minimum number
which was scaled to the number of CPUs at boot time.

[ tglx: Massage change log ]

[ Upstream commit 65f666c6203600053478ce8e34a1db269a8701c9 ]

When called from sbitmap_queue_get(), sbitmap_deferred_clear() may be run
with preempt disabled. In RT kernel, spin_lock() can sleep, then warning
of "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" can be triggered.

Fix it by replacing it with raw_spin_lock.

[ Upstream commit 2ee96abef214550d9e92f5143ee3ac1fd1323e67 ]

In 2018, a dependency on &lt;linux/crc32poly.h&gt; was added to avoid
duplicating the same constant in multiple files.  Two months later it was
found to be a bad idea and the definition of CRC32_POLY_LE macro was moved
into xz_private.h to avoid including &lt;linux/crc32poly.h&gt;.

xz_private.h is a wrong place for it too.  Revert back to the upstream
version which has the poly in xz_crc32_init() in xz_crc32.c.

codetag_module_init() is used to initialize sections containing allocation
tags.  This function is used to initialize module sections as well as core
kernel sections, in which case the module parameter is set to NULL.  This
function has to be called even when CONFIG_MODULES=n to initialize core
kernel allocation tag sections.  When CONFIG_MODULES=n, this function is a
NOP, which is wrong.  This leads to /proc/allocinfo reported as empty. 
Fix this by making it independent of CONFIG_MODULES.

Pull random number generator fix from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Reject invalid flags passed to vgetrandom() in the same way that
  getrandom() does, so that the behavior is the same, from Yann.

  The flags argument to getrandom() only has a behavioral effect on the
  function if the RNG isn't initialized yet, so vgetrandom() falls back
  to the syscall in that case. But if the RNG is initialized, all of the
  flags behave the same way, so vgetrandom() didn't bother checking
  them, and just ignored them entirely.

  But that doesn't account for invalid flags passed in, which need to be
  rejected so we can use them later"

Pull random number generator fix from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Reject invalid flags passed to vgetrandom() in the same way that
  getrandom() does, so that the behavior is the same, from Yann.

  The flags argument to getrandom() only has a behavioral effect on the
  function if the RNG isn't initialized yet, so vgetrandom() falls back
  to the syscall in that case. But if the RNG is initialized, all of the
  flags behave the same way, so vgetrandom() didn't bother checking
  them, and just ignored them entirely.

  But that doesn't account for invalid flags passed in, which need to be
  rejected so we can use them later"

<title>kunit: Device wrappers should also manage driver name</title>

kunit_driver_create() accepts a name for the driver, but does not copy
it, so if that name is either on the stack, or otherwise freed, we end
up with a use-after-free when the driver is cleaned up.

Instead, strdup() the name, and manage it as another KUnit allocation.
As there was no existing kunit_kstrdup(), we add one. Further, add a
kunit_ variant of strdup_const() and kfree_const(), so we don't need to
allocate and manage the string in the majority of cases where it's a
constant.

However, these are inline functions, and is_kernel_rodata() only works
for built-in code. This causes problems in two cases:
- If kunit is built as a module, __{start,end}_rodata is not defined.
- If a kunit test using these functions is built as a module, it will
  suffer the same fate.

This fixes a KASAN splat with overflow.overflow_allocation_test, when
built as a module.

Restrict the is_kernel_rodata() case to when KUnit is built as a module,
which fixes the first case, at the cost of losing the optimisation.

Also, make kunit_{kstrdup,kfree}_const non-inline, so that other modules
using them will not accidentally depend on is_kernel_rodata(). If KUnit
is built-in, they'll benefit from the optimisation, if KUnit is not,
they won't, but the string will be properly duplicated.

Like the getrandom() syscall, vDSO getrandom() must also reject unknown
flags. [1]

It would be possible to return -EINVAL from vDSO itself, but in the
possible case that a new flag is added to getrandom() syscall in the
future, it would be easier to get the behavior from the syscall, instead
of erroring until the vDSO is extended to support the new flag or
explicitly falling back.
