[ Upstream commit ef5581bb30efb939cc2bf093475c6cc85258e5cd ]

Running the kprobes sanity tests twice makes all tests fail and
eventually crashes the kernel.

[root@martin-riscv-1 ~]# echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/kprobes_test/run
...
   # Totals: pass:5 fail:0 skip:0 total:5
   ok 1 kprobes_test
[root@martin-riscv-1 ~]# echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/kprobes_test/run
...
  # test_kprobe: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/tests/test_kprobes.c:64
  Expected 0 == register_kprobe(&amp;kp), but
      register_kprobe(&amp;kp) == -22 (0xffffffffffffffea)
...
  Unable to handle kernel paging request ...

The testsuite defines several kprobes and kretprobes as static variables
that are preserved across test runs.

After register_kprobe and unregister_kprobe, a kprobe contains some
leftover data that must be cleared before the kprobe can be registered
again. The tests are setting symbol_name to define the probe location.
Address and flags must be cleared.

The existing code clears some of the probes between subsequent tests, but
not between two test runs. The leftover data from a previous test run
makes the registrations fail in the next run.

Move the cleanups for all kprobes into kprobes_test_init, this function
is called before each single test (including the first test of a test
run).

[ Upstream commit 17e4c68ff35090d8cb743e3c82c09f92fda1ebda ]

The KUNIT_DEBUGFS option is currently enabled based on the value of
KUNIT_ALL_TESTS, but it really doesn't have anything to do with the set of
enabled tests, so just enable it by default anyway. In particular, this
shouldn't be only visible if KUNIT_ALL_TESTS is set, which is quite
confusing.

[ Upstream commit 0b49c7d0ae697fcecd7377cb7dda220f7cd096ff ]

Use vfree() instead of vunmap() to free the buffer allocated by
iov_kunit_create_buffer() because vunmap() does not honour
VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES.  In order for this to work the page array itself must
not be managed by kunit.

Remove the folio_put() when destroying a folioq.  This is handled by
vfree(), now.

Pointed out by sashiko.dev on a previous iteration of this series.

Tested by running the kunit test 10000 times in a loop.

commit 118cf3f55975352ac357fb194405031458186819 upstream.

Instead of allocating a temporary buffer for extracted user pages
extract_user_to_sg() uses the end of the to be filled scatterlist as a
temporary buffer.

Fix the calculation of the start address if the scatterlist already
contains elements.  The unused space starts at sgtable-&gt;sgl +
sgtable-&gt;nents not directly at sgtable-&gt;nents and the temporary buffer is
placed at the end of this unused space.

A subsequent commit will add kunit test cases that demonstrate that the
patch is necessary.

commit 07b7d66e65d9cfe6b9c2c34aa22cfcaac37a5c45 upstream.

Patch series "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()", v3.

Fix bugs in the kvec and user variants of extract_iter_to_sg.  This series
is growing due to useful remarks made by sashiko.dev.

The main bugs are:
- The length for an sglist entry when extracting from
  a kvec can exceed the number of bytes in the page. This
  is obviously not intended.
- When extracting a user buffer the sglist is temporarily
  used as a scratch buffer for extracted page pointers.
  If the sglist already contains some elements this scratch
  buffer could overlap with existing entries in the sglist.

The series adds test cases to the kunit_iov_iter test that demonstrate all
of these bugs.  Additionally, there is a memory leak fix for the test
itself.

The bugs were orignally introduced into kernel v6.3 where the function
lived in fs/netfs/iterator.c.  It was later moved to lib/scatterlist.c in
v6.5.  Thus the actual fix is only marked for backports to v6.5+.


This patch (of 5):

When extracting from a kvec to a scatterlist, do not cross page
boundaries.  The required length was already calculated but not used as
intended.

Adjust the copied length if the loop runs out of sglist entries without
extracting everything.

While there, return immediately from extract_iter_to_sg if there are no
sglist entries at all.

A subsequent commit will add kunit test cases that demonstrate that the
patch is necessary.

commit 85c9f3a2b805eb96d899da7bcc38a16459aa3c16 upstream.

Like commit 4478e8eeb871 ("lib/crypto: tests: Depend on library options
rather than selecting them") did with the crypto library tests, make
crc_kunit depend on the code it tests rather than selecting it.  This
follows the standard convention for KUnit and fixes an issue where
enabling KUNIT_ALL_TESTS enabled non-test code.

crc_kunit does differ from the crypto library tests in that it
consolidates the tests for multiple CRC variants, with 5 kconfig
options, into one KUnit suite.  Since depending on *all* of these
kconfig options would greatly restrict the ability to enable crc_kunit,
instead just depend on *any* of these options.  Update crc_kunit
accordingly to test only the reachable code.

Alternatively we could split crc_kunit into 5 test suites.  But keeping
it as one is simpler for now.

<title>lib/crypto: mpi: Fix integer underflow in mpi_read_raw_from_sgl()</title>

commit 8c2f1288250a90a4b5cabed5d888d7e3aeed4035 upstream.

Yiming reports an integer underflow in mpi_read_raw_from_sgl() when
subtracting "lzeros" from the unsigned "nbytes".

For this to happen, the scatterlist "sgl" needs to occupy more bytes
than the "nbytes" parameter and the first "nbytes + 1" bytes of the
scatterlist must be zero.  Under these conditions, the while loop
iterating over the scatterlist will count more zeroes than "nbytes",
subtract the number of zeroes from "nbytes" and cause the underflow.

When commit 2d4d1eea540b ("lib/mpi: Add mpi sgl helpers") originally
introduced the bug, it couldn't be triggered because all callers of
mpi_read_raw_from_sgl() passed a scatterlist whose length was equal to
"nbytes".

However since commit 63ba4d67594a ("KEYS: asymmetric: Use new crypto
interface without scatterlists"), the underflow can now actually be
triggered.  When invoking a KEYCTL_PKEY_ENCRYPT system call with a
larger "out_len" than "in_len" and filling the "in" buffer with zeroes,
crypto_akcipher_sync_prep() will create an all-zero scatterlist used for
both the "src" and "dst" member of struct akcipher_request and thereby
fulfil the conditions to trigger the bug:

  sys_keyctl()
    keyctl_pkey_e_d_s()
      asymmetric_key_eds_op()
        software_key_eds_op()
          crypto_akcipher_sync_encrypt()
            crypto_akcipher_sync_prep()
              crypto_akcipher_encrypt()
                rsa_enc()
                  mpi_read_raw_from_sgl()

To the user this will be visible as a DoS as the kernel spins forever,
causing soft lockup splats as a side effect.

Fix it.

commit 8901ac9d2c7eb8ed7ae5e749bf13ecb3b6062488 upstream.

GCC &lt; 12.1 can miscompile printf_kunit's errptr() test when branch
profiling is enabled. BUILD_BUG_ON(IS_ERR(PTR)) is a constant false
expression, but CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING and
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES make the IS_ERR() path side-effectful.
GCC's IPA splitter can then outline the cold assert arm into
errptr.part.* and leave that clone with an unconditional
__compiletime_assert_*() call, causing a false build failure.

This started showing up after test_hashed() became a macro and moved its
local buffer into errptr(), which changed GCC's inlining and splitting
decisions enough to expose the compiler bug.

Workaround the problem by disabling the branch profiling for
printf_kunit.o. It is a straightforward and acceptable solution.

The workaround can be removed once the minimum GCC includes commit
76fe49423047 ("Fix tree-optimization/101941: IPA splitting out
function with error attribute"), which first shipped in GCC 12.1.

commit 6b1842775a460245e97d36d3a67d0cfba7c4ff79 upstream.

Due to initialization ordering, page_ext is allocated and initialized
relatively late during boot.  Some pages have already been allocated and
freed before page_ext becomes available, leaving their codetag
uninitialized.

A clear example is in init_section_page_ext(): alloc_page_ext() calls
kmemleak_alloc().  If the slab cache has no free objects, it falls back to
the buddy allocator to allocate memory.  However, at this point page_ext
is not yet fully initialized, so these newly allocated pages have no
codetag set.  These pages may later be reclaimed by KASAN, which causes
the warning to trigger when they are freed because their codetag ref is
still empty.

Use a global array to track pages allocated before page_ext is fully
initialized.  The array size is fixed at 8192 entries, and will emit a
warning if this limit is exceeded.  When page_ext initialization
completes, set their codetag to empty to avoid warnings when they are
freed later.

This warning is only observed with CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=Y and
mem_profiling_compressed disabled:
