commit 59f19bf6f119eecfa16355186b593abba8eb5198 upstream.

Coccinelle scripts/coccinelle/api/kfree_mismatch.cocci reports
the following warnings:

  lib/test_hmm.c:1256:15-16: WARNING kvmalloc is used to allocate this memory at line 1191
  lib/test_hmm.c:1257:15-16: WARNING kvmalloc is used to allocate this memory at line 1196

Fix this by replacing kfree() with kvfree() to correctly handle the
vmalloc() fallback path of kvcalloc().

<title>tracing: Prevent out-of-bounds read in glob matching</title>

commit 0a6070839b1ef276d5b05bedfb787743e140fb17 upstream.

String event fields are not necessarily NUL-terminated, so the filter
predicate functions (filter_pred_string(), filter_pred_strloc() and
filter_pred_strrelloc()) pass the field length to the regex match
callbacks, and the length-aware matchers honour it.

regex_match_glob() was the exception: it ignored the length and called
glob_match(), which scans the string until it hits a NUL byte. Some
string fields are not NUL-terminated. One example is the dynamic char
array of the xfs_* namespace tracepoints, which is copied without a
trailing NUL. For such a field, glob matching reads past the end of
the event field, causing a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in
glob_match(), reached via regex_match_glob() and filter_match_preds()
from the xfs_lookup tracepoint.

Add a length-bounded glob_match_len() and use it from regex_match_glob()
so glob matching always stops at the field boundary. The matching loop
is factored into a shared helper so glob_match() keeps its behaviour.

<title>debugobjects: Plug race against a concurrent OOM disable</title>

commit b81dde13cc163450dcb402dcc915ef13ba241e01 upstream.

syzbot reported a puzzling splat:

   WARNING: kernel/time/hrtimer.c:443 at stub_timer+0xa/0x20

stub_timer() is installed as timer callback function in
hrtimer_fixup_assert_init(), which is invoked when
debug_object_assert_init() can't find a shadow object. In that case debug
objects emits a warning about it before invoking the fixup.

Though the provided console log lacks this warning and instead has the
following a few seconds before the splat:

     ODEBUG: Out of memory. ODEBUG disabled

So the object was looked up in debug_object_assert_init() and the lookup
failed due a concurrent out of memory situation which disabled debug
objects and freed the shadow objects:

debug_object_assert_init()
        if (!debug_objects_enabled)
        	return;                         obj = alloc();
                				if (!obj) {
							// Out of memory
                                                	debug_objects_enabled = false;
                                                        free_objects();
        obj = lookup_or_alloc();

        // The lookup failed because the other side
        // removed the objects, so this returns
        // an error code as the object in question
        // is not statically initialized

	if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(obj))
        	return;
        if (!obj) {
        	debug_oom();
                return;
        }

        print(...)
           if (!debug_objects_enabled)
                return;

        fixup(...)

The debug object splat is skipped because debug_objects_enabled is false,
but the fixup callback is invoked unconditionally, which makes the timer
disfunctional.

This is only a problem in debug_object_assert_init() and
debug_object_activate() as both have to handle statically initialized
objects and therefore must handle the error pointer return case
gracefully. All other places only handle the found/not found case and the
NULL pointer return is a signal for OOM. Otherwise they get a valid shadow
object.

Plug the hole by checking whether debug objects are still enabled before
invoking the print and fixup function in those two places.

When booting a debug PREEMPT_RT kernel on an ARM64 system, a "inconsistent
{HARDIRQ-ON-W} -&gt; {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage" lockdep warning message was
reported to the console.

During early boot, interrupts are enabled before the scheduler is
enabled. In this window (before SYSTEM_SCHEDULING is set) interrupts can
fire and in the hard interrupt context handler attempt to fill the pool

This can lead to a deadlock when the interrupt occurred when the interrupt
hits a region which holds a lock that is required to be taken in the
allocation path.

Add a new can_fill_pool() helper and reorder the exception rule and forbid
this scenario by excluding allocations from hard interrupt context.

gcc-16 has gained some more advanced inter-procedual optimization
techniques that enable it to inline the dummy_tlb_add_page() and
dummy_tlb_flush() function pointers into a specialized version of
__arm_v7s_unmap:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __arm_v7s_unmap+0x2cc (section: .text) -&gt; dummy_tlb_add_page (section: .init.text)
ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.

&gt;From what I can tell, the transformation is correct, as this is only
called when __arm_v7s_unmap() is called from arm_v7s_do_selftests(),
which is also __init. Since __arm_v7s_unmap() however is not __init,
gcc cannot inline the inner function calls directly.

In debug_objects_selftest(), the same thing happens. Both the
caller and the leaf function are __init, but the IPA pulls
it into a non-init one:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: lookup_object_or_alloc+0x7c (section: .text.lookup_object_or_alloc) -&gt; is_static_object (section: .init.text)

Marking the affected functions as not "__init" would reliably avoid this
issue but is not a good solution because it removes an otherwise correct
annotation. I tried marking the functions as 'noinline', but that ended
up not covering all the affected configurations.

With some more experimenting, I found that marking these functions as
__attribute__((noipa)) is both logical and reliable.

In order to keep the syntax readable, add a custom macro for this in
include/linux/compiler_attributes.h next to other related macros and
use it to annotate both files.

Pull kunit fix from Shuah Khan:
 "Fix a use-after-free in kunit debugfs when using kunit.filter when the
  executor frees dynamically allocated resources after running boot-time
  tests. This resulted in fatal hardware exception due to invalidation
  of capability flags on the reclaimed memory on some architectures such
  as CHERI RISC-V that support the feature, and silent memory corruption
  on others.

  The fix for this couples the lifetime of the filtered suite memory
  allocation to the lifetime of the kunit subsystem and its associated
  VFS nodes. Ownership of the boot-time suite_set is now transferred to
  a global tracker ('kunit_boot_suites'), and the memory is cleanly
  released in kunit_exit() during module teardown"
