[ Upstream commit bf955b5ab8f6f7b0632cdef8e36b14e4f6e77829 ]

While reading weight_p, it can be changed concurrently.  Thus, we need
to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.

Also, dev_[rt]x_weight can be read/written at the same time.  So, we
need to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() for its access.  Moreover, to
use the same weight_p while changing dev_[rt]x_weight, we add a mutex
in proc_do_dev_weight().

commit 63960260457a02af2a6cb35d75e6bdb17299c882 upstream.

When evaluating access control over kallsyms visibility, credentials at
open() time need to be used, not the "current" creds (though in BPF's
case, this has likely always been the same). Plumb access to associated
file-&gt;f_cred down through bpf_dump_raw_ok() and its callers now that
kallsysm_show_value() has been refactored to take struct cred.

[ Upstream commit 1148f9adbe71415836a18a36c1b4ece999ab0973 ]

proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_restricted() has been firstly introduced
in commit 2e4a30983b0f ("bpf: restrict access to core bpf sysctls")
under CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT. Then, this ifdef has been removed in
ede95a63b5e8 ("bpf: add bpf_jit_limit knob to restrict unpriv
allocations"), because a new sysctl, bpf_jit_limit, made use of it.
Finally, this parameter has become long instead of integer with
fdadd04931c2 ("bpf: fix bpf_jit_limit knob for PAGE_SIZE &gt;= 64K")
and thus, a new proc_dolongvec_minmax_bpf_restricted() has been
added.

With this last change, we got back to that
proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_restricted() is used only under
CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT, but the corresponding ifdef has not been
brought back.

So, in configurations like CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y &amp;&amp; CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT=n
since v4.20 we have:

  CC      net/core/sysctl_net_core.o
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c:292:1: warning: ‘proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_restricted’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
  292 | proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_restricted(struct ctl_table *table, int write,
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suppress this by guarding it with CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT again.

[ Upstream commit fdadd04931c2d7cd294dc5b2b342863f94be53a3 ]

Michael and Sandipan report:

  Commit ede95a63b5 introduced a bpf_jit_limit tuneable to limit BPF
  JIT allocations. At compile time it defaults to PAGE_SIZE * 40000,
  and is adjusted again at init time if MODULES_VADDR is defined.

  For ppc64 kernels, MODULES_VADDR isn't defined, so we're stuck with
  the compile-time default at boot-time, which is 0x9c400000 when
  using 64K page size. This overflows the signed 32-bit bpf_jit_limit
  value:

  root@ubuntu:/tmp# cat /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_limit
  -1673527296

  and can cause various unexpected failures throughout the network
  stack. In one case `strace dhclient eth0` reported:

  setsockopt(5, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, {len=11, filter=0x105dd27f8},
             16) = -1 ENOTSUPP (Unknown error 524)

  and similar failures can be seen with tools like tcpdump. This doesn't
  always reproduce however, and I'm not sure why. The more consistent
  failure I've seen is an Ubuntu 18.04 KVM guest booted on a POWER9
  host would time out on systemd/netplan configuring a virtio-net NIC
  with no noticeable errors in the logs.

Given this and also given that in near future some architectures like
arm64 will have a custom area for BPF JIT image allocations we should
get rid of the BPF_JIT_LIMIT_DEFAULT fallback / default entirely. For
4.21, we have an overridable bpf_jit_alloc_exec(), bpf_jit_free_exec()
so therefore add another overridable bpf_jit_alloc_exec_limit() helper
function which returns the possible size of the memory area for deriving
the default heuristic in bpf_jit_charge_init().

Like bpf_jit_alloc_exec() and bpf_jit_free_exec(), the new
bpf_jit_alloc_exec_limit() assumes that module_alloc() is the default
JIT memory provider, and therefore in case archs implement their custom
module_alloc() we use MODULES_{END,_VADDR} for limits and otherwise for
vmalloc_exec() cases like on ppc64 we use VMALLOC_{END,_START}.

Additionally, for archs supporting large page sizes, we should change
the sysctl to be handled as long to not run into sysctl restrictions
in future.

commit ede95a63b5e84ddeea6b0c473b36ab8bfd8c6ce3 upstream.

Rick reported that the BPF JIT could potentially fill the entire module
space with BPF programs from unprivileged users which would prevent later
attempts to load normal kernel modules or privileged BPF programs, for
example. If JIT was enabled but unsuccessful to generate the image, then
before commit 290af86629b2 ("bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config")
we would always fall back to the BPF interpreter. Nowadays in the case
where the CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON could be set, then the load will abort
with a failure since the BPF interpreter was compiled out.

Add a global limit and enforce it for unprivileged users such that in case
of BPF interpreter compiled out we fail once the limit has been reached
or we fall back to BPF interpreter earlier w/o using module mem if latter
was compiled in. In a next step, fair share among unprivileged users can
be resolved in particular for the case where we would fail hard once limit
is reached.

<title>headers: untangle kmemleak.h from mm.h</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently &lt;linux/slab.h&gt; #includes &lt;linux/kmemleak.h&gt; for no obvious
reason.  It looks like it's only a convenience, so remove kmemleak.h
from slab.h and add &lt;linux/kmemleak.h&gt; to any users of kmemleak_* that
don't already #include it.  Also remove &lt;linux/kmemleak.h&gt; from source
files that do not use it.

This is tested on i386 allmodconfig and x86_64 allmodconfig.  It would
be good to run it through the 0day bot for other $ARCHes.  I have
neither the horsepower nor the storage space for the other $ARCHes.

Update: This patch has been extensively build-tested by both the 0day
bot &amp; kisskb/ozlabs build farms.  Both of them reported 2 build failures
for which patches are included here (in v2).

[ slab.h is the second most used header file after module.h; kernel.h is
  right there with slab.h. There could be some minor error in the
  counting due to some #includes having comments after them and I didn't
  combine all of those. ]

Currently &lt;linux/slab.h&gt; #includes &lt;linux/kmemleak.h&gt; for no obvious
reason.  It looks like it's only a convenience, so remove kmemleak.h
from slab.h and add &lt;linux/kmemleak.h&gt; to any users of kmemleak_* that
don't already #include it.  Also remove &lt;linux/kmemleak.h&gt; from source
files that do not use it.

This is tested on i386 allmodconfig and x86_64 allmodconfig.  It would
be good to run it through the 0day bot for other $ARCHes.  I have
neither the horsepower nor the storage space for the other $ARCHes.

Update: This patch has been extensively build-tested by both the 0day
bot &amp; kisskb/ozlabs build farms.  Both of them reported 2 build failures
for which patches are included here (in v2).

[ slab.h is the second most used header file after module.h; kernel.h is
  right there with slab.h. There could be some minor error in the
  counting due to some #includes having comments after them and I didn't
  combine all of those. ]

Synchronous pernet_operations are not allowed anymore.
All are asynchronous. So, drop the structure member.

<title>net: do not create fallback tunnels for non-default namespaces</title>

<content type='text'>
fallback tunnels (like tunl0, gre0, gretap0, erspan0, sit0,
ip6tnl0, ip6gre0) are automatically created when the corresponding
module is loaded.

These tunnels are also automatically created when a new network
namespace is created, at a great cost.

In many cases, netns are used for isolation purposes, and these
extra network devices are a waste of resources. We are using
thousands of netns per host, and hit the netns creation/delete
bottleneck a lot. (Many thanks to Kirill for recent work on this)

Add a new sysctl so that we can opt-out from this automatic creation.

Note that these tunnels are still created for the initial namespace,
to be the least intrusive for typical setups.

Tested:
lpk43:~# cat add_del_unshare.sh
for i in `seq 1 40`
do
 (for j in `seq 1 100` ; do  unshare -n /bin/true &gt;/dev/null ; done) &amp;
done
wait

lpk43:~# echo 0 &gt;/proc/sys/net/core/fb_tunnels_only_for_init_net
lpk43:~# time ./add_del_unshare.sh

real	0m37.521s
user	0m0.886s
sys	7m7.084s
lpk43:~# echo 1 &gt;/proc/sys/net/core/fb_tunnels_only_for_init_net
lpk43:~# time ./add_del_unshare.sh

These pernet_operations register and destroy sysctl
directory, and it's not interesting for foreign
pernet_operations.
