commit 26679fad81a471428707d2dd7b0418204c52b7e4 upstream.

audit_count_records() counts both AUDIT_LANDLOCK_DOMAIN allocation and
deallocation records in records.domain .  Domain deallocation is tied to
asynchronous credential freeing via kworker threads
(landlock_put_ruleset_deferred), so the dealloc record can arrive after
the drain in audit_init() and after the preceding audit_match_record()
call.  This causes flaky failures in tests that assert an exact
records.domain count: a stale dealloc record from a previous test's
domain inflates the count by one.

Observed on x86_64 under build configurations that delay the kworker
firing the dealloc callback (e.g. coverage instrumentation): the
audit_layout1 tests in fs_test.c intermittently saw records.domain == 2
where 1 was expected.  The fix is in the shared helper, so those
existing checks become robust without needing a fs_test.c edit.

Filter audit_count_records() with a regex to skip records containing
deallocation status.  The remaining domain records (allocation, emitted
synchronously during landlock_log_denial()) are deterministic.
Deallocation records are already tested explicitly via
matches_log_domain_deallocated() in audit_test.c, which uses its own
domain-ID-based filtering and longer timeout.

With this filter in place, re-add the records.domain == 0 checks that
were removed in commit 3647a4977fb7 ("selftests/landlock: Drain stale
audit records on init") as a workaround for this race.

<title>landlock: Set audit_net.sk for socket access checks</title>

commit d936e1a9170f9cadaa5f37586b1dfe6f20f98799 upstream.

Set audit_net.sk in current_check_access_socket() to provide the socket
object to audit_log_lsm_data().  This makes Landlock consistent with
AppArmor, which always sets .sk for socket operations, and with
SELinux's generic socket permission checks.

The socket's local and foreign address information (laddr, lport, faddr,
fport) is logged by the shared lsm_audit.c infrastructure when the
socket has bound or connected state.  Fields with zero values are
suppressed by print_ipv4_addr()/print_ipv6_addr(), so the audit output
is unchanged for the common case of bind denials on unbound sockets.
For connect denials after a prior bind, the bound local address (laddr,
lport) appears before the existing sockaddr fields (daddr, dest).

No existing fields are removed or reordered, and the new field names
(laddr, lport, faddr, fport) are standard audit fields already emitted
by other LSMs through the same lsm_audit.c code path.

Add a connect_tcp_bound audit test that binds to an allowed port and
then connects to a denied one, verifying that the denial record reports
laddr/lport from the bound socket in addition to the connect
destination.

commit dccf636bf1e68c3fda92f0c9e1018ab7e0ac8b2c upstream.

There are several places in transact_test() where we use the hardcoded
0x1000 (4k) as page size, which is not always correct for architectures
supporting multiple page sizes.

Switch to use the correct page size.  Otherwise ./ksft_pagemap.sh on a
16k-page-size arm64 box fails with

 $ ./ksft_pagemap.sh

<title>selftests: mm: fix and speedup "droppable" test</title>

<content type='text'>
commit cc13a7a618fe8354f16d74c06aaf9565a68e9ebd upstream.

The droppable test currently relies on creating memory pressure in a child
process to trigger dropping the droppable pages.

That not only takes a long time on some machines (allocating and filling
all that memory), on large machines this will not work as we hardcode the
area size to 134217728 bytes.

...  further, we rely on timeouts to detect that memory was not dropped,
which is really suboptimal.

Instead, let's just use MADV_PAGEOUT on a 2 MiB region.  MADV_PAGEOUT
works with droppable memory even without swap.

There is the low chance of MADV_PAGEOUT failing to drop a page because of
speculative references.  We'll wait 1s and retry 10 times to rule that
unlikely case out as best as we can.

On a machine without swap:

	$ ./droppable
	TAP version 13
	1..1
	ok 1 madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) behavior
	# Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

commit 195e667c8719480c320cd48ac0fbf1cb81d6ffe0 upstream.

USB devices running at SuperSpeedPlus report "10000" or "20000" in
their sysfs speed attribute. usbip currently maps only "5000" to
USB_SPEED_SUPER, so a SuperSpeedPlus device is imported as
USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN.

The attach request is then rejected by vhci_hcd:

  vhci_hcd: Failed attach request for unsupported USB speed: UNKNOWN

Map the SuperSpeedPlus sysfs speed values to USB_SPEED_SUPER_PLUS, use
the SuperSpeed VHCI hub for SuperSpeedPlus devices, and recognize the
gadget current_speed string used by the kernel.

commit 892a7864730775c3dbee2a39e9ead4fa8d4256e7 upstream.

SLUB exports the total_objects sysfs attribute, but slabinfo tries to read
objects_total. As a result, the lookup fails and the field remains zero.

Use the correct attribute name and rename the corresponding structure
member to match.

commit 892a7864730775c3dbee2a39e9ead4fa8d4256e7 upstream.

SLUB exports the total_objects sysfs attribute, but slabinfo tries to read
objects_total. As a result, the lookup fails and the field remains zero.

Use the correct attribute name and rename the corresponding structure
member to match.

commit 235ab68d67eadbef1fdbfb771f21f5bacc77a2ae upstream.

The disable trace path in slab_debug() had a logic error where it would
set trace=1 instead of trace=0. This made trace functionality permanently
enabled once turned on for any slab cache.

commit 7ee7f48413c42b90230de4a8e40898b757bc8e82 upstream.

Toolchains with older kernel headers that do not include upstream commit
c75b1d9421f80f41 ("fs: add fcntl() interface for setting/getting write
life time hints") will now fail to build perf due to missing definitions
for F_GET_RW_HINT/F_SET_RW_HINT/F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT/F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT.

Provide a fallback definition for these when they are not already
defined.

commit c7ba92bcfea34f6b4afc744c3b65c8f7420fefe0 upstream.

Assert that we correctly merge VMAs containing VM_SOFTDIRTY flags now that
we correctly handle these as sticky.

In order to do so, we have to account for the fact the pagemap interface
checks soft dirty PTEs and additionally that newly merged VMAs are marked
VM_SOFTDIRTY.

We do this by using use unfaulted anon VMAs, establishing one and clearing
references on that one, before establishing another and merging the two
before checking that soft-dirty is propagated as expected.

We check that this functions correctly with mremap() and mprotect() as
sample cases, because VMA merge of adjacent newly mapped VMAs will
automatically be made soft-dirty due to existing logic which does so.

We are therefore exercising other means of merging VMAs.

commit 6707915e030a3258868355f989b80140c1a45bbe upstream.

Patch series "make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky VMA flag", v2.

Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().

However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.

Now we have the concept of making VMA flags 'sticky', that is that they
both don't prevent merge and, importantly, are propagated to merged VMAs,
this seems a sensible alternative to the existing special-casing of
VM_SOFTDIRTY.

We additionally add a self-test that demonstrates that this logic behaves
as expected.

This patch (of 2):

Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().

However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.

This is because currently we simply ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY for the purposes
of merge, so one VMA may possess the flag and another not, and whichever
happens to be the target VMA will be the one upon which the merge is
performed which may or may not have VM_SOFTDIRTY set.

Now we have the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags, let's make VM_SOFTDIRTY one
which solves this issue.

Additionally update VMA userland tests to propagate changes.
