c01a9ac74a futex: Do not leak robust list to unprivileged process
commit bdbb776f88 upstream.

It was possible to extract the robust list head address from a setuid
process if it had used set_robust_list(), allowing an ASLR info leak. This
changes the permission checks to be the same as those used for similar
info that comes out of /proc.

Running a setuid program that uses robust futexes would have had:
  cred->euid != pcred->euid
  cred->euid == pcred->uid
so the old permissions check would allow it. I'm not aware of any setuid
programs that use robust futexes, so this is just a preventative measure.

(This patch is based on changes from grsecurity.)

177b07ddae nohz: Fix stale jiffies update in tick_nohz_restart()
commit 6f103929f8 upstream.

Fix tick_nohz_restart() to not use a stale ktime_t "now" value when
calling tick_do_update_jiffies64(now).

If we reach this point in the loop it means that we crossed a tick
boundary since we grabbed the "now" timestamp, so at this point "now"
refers to a time in the old jiffy, so using the old value for "now" is
incorrect, and is likely to give us a stale jiffies value.

In particular, the first time through the loop the
tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) call is always a no-op, since the
caller, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), will have already called
tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) with that "now" value.

Note that tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() already uses the correct
approach: when we notice we cross a jiffy boundary, grab a new
timestamp with ktime_get(), and *then* update jiffies.

e8514a0681 panic: fix stack dump print on direct call to panic()
commit 026ee1f66a upstream.

Commit 6e6f0a1f0f ("panic: don't print redundant backtraces on oops")
causes a regression where no stack trace will be printed at all for the
case where kernel code calls panic() directly while not processing an
oops, and of course there are 100's of instances of this type of call.

The original commit executed the check (!oops_in_progress), but this will
always be false because just before the dump_stack() there is a call to
bust_spinlocks(1), which does the following:

  void __attribute__((weak)) bust_spinlocks(int yes)
  {
	if (yes) {
		++oops_in_progress;

The proper way to resolve the problem that original commit tried to
solve is to avoid printing a stack dump from panic() when the either of
the following conditions is true:

  1) TAINT_DIE has been set (this is done by oops_end())
     This indicates and oops has already been printed.
  2) oops_in_progress > 1
     This guards against the rare case where panic() is invoked
     a second time, or in between oops_begin() and oops_end()

b502007fc6 cred: copy_process() should clear child->replacement_session_keyring
commit 79549c6dfd upstream.

keyctl_session_to_parent(task) sets ->replacement_session_keyring,
it should be processed and cleared by key_replace_session_keyring().

However, this task can fork before it notices TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME and
the new child gets the bogus ->replacement_session_keyring copied by
dup_task_struct(). This is obviously wrong and, if nothing else, this
leads to put_cred(already_freed_cred).

change copy_creds() to clear this member. If copy_process() fails
before this point the wrong ->replacement_session_keyring doesn't
matter, exit_creds() won't be called.

9aa06b85e0 sysctl: fix write access to dmesg_restrict/kptr_restrict
commit 620f6e8e85 upstream.

Commit bfdc0b4 adds code to restrict access to dmesg_restrict,
however, it incorrectly alters kptr_restrict rather than
dmesg_restrict.

The original patch from Richard Weinberger
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/14/362) alters dmesg_restrict as
expected, and so the patch seems to have been misapplied.

This adds the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to both dmesg_restrict and
kptr_restrict, since both are sensitive.

28cd59a827 kgdb,debug_core: pass the breakpoint struct instead of address and memory
commit 98b54aa1a2 upstream.

There is extra state information that needs to be exposed in the
kgdb_bpt structure for tracking how a breakpoint was installed.  The
debug_core only uses the the probe_kernel_write() to install
breakpoints, but this is not enough for all the archs.  Some arch such
as x86 need to use text_poke() in order to install a breakpoint into a
read only page.

Passing the kgdb_bpt structure to kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and
kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint() allows other archs to set the type
variable which indicates how the breakpoint was installed.

dff2f8b03d PM / Sleep: Mitigate race between the freezer and request_firmware()
commit 247bc03742 upstream.

There is a race condition between the freezer and request_firmware()
such that if request_firmware() is run on one CPU and
freeze_processes() is run on another CPU and usermodehelper_disable()
called by it succeeds to grab umhelper_sem for writing before
usermodehelper_read_trylock() called from request_firmware()
acquires it for reading, the request_firmware() will fail and
trigger a WARN_ON() complaining that it was called at a wrong time.
However, in fact, it wasn't called at a wrong time and
freeze_processes() simply happened to be executed simultaneously.

To avoid this race, at least in some cases, modify
usermodehelper_read_trylock() so that it doesn't fail if the
freezing of tasks has just started and hasn't been completed yet.
Instead, during the freezing of tasks, it will try to freeze the
task that has called it so that it can wait until user space is
thawed without triggering the scary warning.

For this purpose, change usermodehelper_disabled so that it can
take three different values, UMH_ENABLED (0), UMH_FREEZING and
UMH_DISABLED.  The first one means that usermode helpers are
enabled, the last one means "hard disable" (i.e. the system is not
ready for usermode helpers to be used) and the second one
is reserved for the freezer.  Namely, when freeze_processes() is
started, it sets usermodehelper_disabled to UMH_FREEZING which
tells usermodehelper_read_trylock() that it shouldn't fail just
yet and should call try_to_freeze() if woken up and cannot
return immediately.  This way all freezable tasks that happen
to call request_firmware() right before freeze_processes() is
started and lose the race for umhelper_sem with it will be
frozen and will sleep until thaw_processes() unsets
usermodehelper_disabled.  [For the non-freezable callers of
request_firmware() the race for umhelper_sem against
freeze_processes() is unfortunately unavoidable.]

7b9643c970 PM / Sleep: Move disabling of usermode helpers to the freezer
commit 1e73203cd1 upstream.

The core suspend/hibernation code calls usermodehelper_disable() to
avoid race conditions between the freezer and the starting of
usermode helpers and each code path has to do that on its own.
However, it is always called right before freeze_processes()
and usermodehelper_enable() is always called right after
thaw_processes().  For this reason, to avoid code duplication and
to make the connection between usermodehelper_disable() and the
freezer more visible, make freeze_processes() call it and remove the
direct usermodehelper_disable() and usermodehelper_enable() calls
from all suspend/hibernation code paths.

91cb632cd8 firmware_class: Do not warn that system is not ready from async loads
commit 9b78c1da60 upstream.

If firmware is requested asynchronously, by calling
request_firmware_nowait(), there is no reason to fail the request
(and warn the user) when the system is (presumably temporarily)
unready to handle it (because user space is not available yet or
frozen).  For this reason, introduce an alternative routine for
read-locking umhelper_sem, usermodehelper_read_lock_wait(), that
will wait for usermodehelper_disabled to be unset (possibly with
a timeout) and make request_firmware_work_func() use it instead of
usermodehelper_read_trylock().

Accordingly, modify request_firmware() so that it uses
usermodehelper_read_trylock() to acquire umhelper_sem and remove
the code related to that lock from _request_firmware().

adf679a9a0 tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output
commit 12b5da349a upstream.

When reading the trace file, the records of each of the per_cpu buffers
are examined to find the next event to print out. At the point of looking
at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is
chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size
that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to
the output functions to be incorrect.

In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it
is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of
back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the
fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces
would not be fully printed.

Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected.

23ee5a026c genirq: Adjust irq thread affinity on IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY return value
commit f5cb92ac82 upstream.

irq_move_masked_irq() checks the return code of
chip->irq_set_affinity() only for 0, but IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY is
also a valid return code, which is there to avoid a redundant copy of
the cpumask. But in case of IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY we not only avoid
the redundant copy, we also fail to adjust the thread affinity of an
eventually threaded interrupt handler.

Handle IRQ_SET_MASK_OK (==0) and IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY(==1) return
values correctly by checking the valid return values seperately.

74f8c98946 genirq: Fix long-term regression in genirq irq_set_irq_type() handling
commit a09b659cd6 upstream.

In 2008, commit 0c5d1eb77a ("genirq: record trigger type") modified the
way set_irq_type() handles the 'no trigger' condition.  However, this has
an adverse effect on PCMCIA support on Intel StrongARM and probably PXA
platforms.

PCMCIA has several status signals on the socket which can trigger
interrupts; some of these status signals depend on the card's mode
(whether it is configured in memory or IO mode).  For example, cards have
a 'Ready/IRQ' signal: in memory mode, this provides an indication to
PCMCIA that the card has finished its power up initialization.  In IO
mode, it provides the device interrupt signal.  Other status signals
switch between on-board battery status and loud speaker output.

In classical PCMCIA implementations, where you have a specific socket
controller, the controller provides a method to mask interrupts from the
socket, and importantly ignore any state transitions on the pins which
correspond with interrupts once masked.  This masking prevents unwanted
events caused by the removal and application of socket power being
forwarded.

However, on platforms where there is no socket controller, the PCMCIA
status and interrupt signals are routed to standard edge-triggered GPIOs.
These GPIOs can be configured to interrupt on rising edge, falling edge,
or never.  This is where the problems start.

Edge triggered interrupts are required to record events while disabled via
the usual methods of {free,request,disable,enable}_irq() to prevent
problems with dropped interrupts (eg, the 8390 driver uses disable_irq()
to defer the delivery of interrupts).  As a result, these interfaces can
not be used to implement the desired behaviour.

The side effect of this is that if the 'Ready/IRQ' GPIO is disabled via
disable_irq() on suspend, and enabled via enable_irq() after resume, we
will record the state transitions caused by powering events as valid
interrupts, and foward them to the card driver, which may attempt to
access a card which is not powered up.

This leads delays resume while drivers spin in their interrupt handlers,
and complaints from drivers before they realize what's happened.

Moreover, in the case of the 'Ready/IRQ' signal, this is requested and
freed by the card driver itself; the PCMCIA core has no idea whether the
interrupt is requested, and, therefore, whether a call to disable_irq()
would be valid.  (We tried this around 2.4.17 / 2.5.1 kernel era, and
ended up throwing it out because of this problem.)

Therefore, it was decided back in around 2002 to disable the edge
triggering instead, resulting in all state transitions on the GPIO being
ignored.  That's what we actually need the hardware to do.

The commit above changes this behaviour; it explicitly prevents the 'no
trigger' state being selected.

The reason that request_irq() does not accept the 'no trigger' state is
for compatibility with existing drivers which do not provide their desired
triggering configuration.  The set_irq_type() function is 'new' and not
used by non-trigger aware drivers.

Therefore, revert this change, and restore previously working platforms
back to their former state.

4293f20c19 Revert "CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume"
This reverts commit 8f2f748b06.

It causes some odd regression that we have not figured out, and it's too
late in the -rc series to try to figure it out now.

As reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov, it causes consistent hangs on his
laptop (Thinkpad x220: 2x cores + HT).  They can be avoided by adding
calls to "rebuild_sched_domains();" in cpuset_cpu_[in]active() for the
CPU_{ONLINE/DOWN_FAILED/DOWN_PREPARE}_FROZEN cases, but it's not at all
clear why, and it makes no sense.

Konstantin's config doesn't even have CONFIG_CPUSETS enabled, just to
make things even more interesting.  So it's not the cpusets, it's just
the scheduling domains.

So until this is understood, revert.

irq_wake_thread(), but for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts never cleared.  So
the check for !desc->thread_active fails and keeps the interrupt
disabled.

Keep the thread_mask zero for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts.

Document the thread_mask magic while at it.

6027ce497d hung_task: fix the broken rcu_lock_break() logic
check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by
"softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks
absolutely wrong.

	- rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited
	  it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this
	  task_struct.

	- The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we
	  can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed
	  without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD.

	  For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current)
	  long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit().

	  Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task()
	  was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop.

Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop
the reference to the task_struct.

Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can
livelock.  This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the
"max_count" logic saves us anyway.

d68b46fe16 vfork: make it killable
Make vfork() killable.

Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable().  If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.

However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.

Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.

NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.

However this is obviously the user-visible change.  Not only a fatal
signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

c22ab33290 kmsg_dump: don't run on non-error paths by default
Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.

This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace.  In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.

This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace).  Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths.  The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

62d3c5439c Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event polling
This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events
polling.  The polling is done by a work routine queued on the
system_nrt_wq workqueue.  Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the
polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition.

Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.

The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant,
freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

8f2f748b06 CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume
Currently, during CPU hotplug, the cpuset callbacks modify the cpusets
to reflect the state of the system, and this handling is asymmetric.
That is, upon CPU offline, that CPU is removed from all cpusets. However
when it comes back online, it is put back only to the root cpuset.

This gives rise to a significant problem during suspend/resume. During
suspend, we offline all non-boot cpus and during resume we online them back.
Which means, after a resume, all cpusets (except the root cpuset) will be
restricted to just one single CPU (the boot cpu). But the whole point of
suspend/resume is to restore the system to a state which is as close as
possible to how it was before suspend.

So to fix this, don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume. That is, modify
the cpuset-related CPU hotplug callback to just ignore CPU hotplug when it
is initiated as part of the suspend/resume sequence.

d80e731eca epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()
This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.

epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.

This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.

__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.

ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.

The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.

In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.

Note:

	- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
	  is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.

	- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
	  we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
	  make sure it can't be "lost".

8c79a045fd sched/events: Revert trace_sched_stat_sleeptime()
Commit 1ac9bc69 ("sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime")
added a new sched:sched_stat_sleeptime tracepoint.

It's broken: the first sample we get on a task might be bad because
of a stale sleep_start value that wasn't reset at the last task switch
because the tracepoint was not active.

It also breaks the existing schedstat samples due to the side
effects of:

-               se->statistics.sleep_start = 0;
...
-               se->statistics.block_start = 0;

Nor do I see means to fix it without adding overhead to the scheduler
fast path, which I'm not willing to for the sake of redundant
instrumentation.

Most importantly, sleep time information can already be constructed
by tracing context switches and wakeups, and taking the timestamp
difference between the schedule-out, the wakeup and the schedule-in.

ac56376111 genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken
When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT
returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not
woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never
invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever.

This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread
unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying
device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere
documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the
thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the
interrupt line s kept masked.

Handle it gracefully.

f39d47ff81 perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start()
The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following
commit:

        e050e3f0a7 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")

The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on
the sampling frequency adjustments:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4()

It was caused by the following call sequence:

perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() {
     stop()
     if (delta > 0) {
          perf_adjust_period() {
              if (period > 8*...) {
                  stop()
                  ...
                  start()
              }
          }
      }
      start()
}

Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering
the assert in x86_pmu_start().

The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We
pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether
or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the
start/stop from that function because it's called from
__perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a
stop/start back-toback call.

The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which
was removed by commit:

	84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()")

In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU
during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report
of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

11a3122f6c block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()
put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue.  It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.

While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization.  Strip it out.  If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion
thread can be applied later.
