commit dfc1b168a8c4b376fa222b27b97c2c4ad4b786e1 upstream.

The userprog infrastructure links objects files through $(CC).
Either explicitly by manually calling $(CC) on multiple object files or
implicitly by directly compiling a source file to an executable.
The documentation at Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst indicates that ld.lld
would be used for linking if LLVM=1 is specified.
However clang instead will use either a globally installed cross linker
from $PATH called ${target}-ld or fall back to the system linker, which
probably does not support crosslinking.
For the normal kernel build this is not an issue because the linker is
always executed directly, without the compiler being involved.

Explicitly pass --ld-path to clang so $(LD) is respected.
As clang 13.0.1 is required to build the kernel, this option is available.

<title>pfifo_tail_enqueue: Drop new packet when sch-&gt;limit == 0</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 647cef20e649c576dff271e018d5d15d998b629d upstream.

Expected behaviour:
In case we reach scheduler's limit, pfifo_tail_enqueue() will drop a
packet in scheduler's queue and decrease scheduler's qlen by one.
Then, pfifo_tail_enqueue() enqueue new packet and increase
scheduler's qlen by one. Finally, pfifo_tail_enqueue() return
`NET_XMIT_CN` status code.

Weird behaviour:
In case we set `sch-&gt;limit == 0` and trigger pfifo_tail_enqueue() on a
scheduler that has no packet, the 'drop a packet' step will do nothing.
This means the scheduler's qlen still has value equal 0.
Then, we continue to enqueue new packet and increase scheduler's qlen by
one. In summary, we can leverage pfifo_tail_enqueue() to increase qlen by
one and return `NET_XMIT_CN` status code.

The problem is:
Let's say we have two qdiscs: Qdisc_A and Qdisc_B.
 - Qdisc_A's type must have '-&gt;graft()' function to create parent/child relationship.
   Let's say Qdisc_A's type is `hfsc`. Enqueue packet to this qdisc will trigger `hfsc_enqueue`.
 - Qdisc_B's type is pfifo_head_drop. Enqueue packet to this qdisc will trigger `pfifo_tail_enqueue`.
 - Qdisc_B is configured to have `sch-&gt;limit == 0`.
 - Qdisc_A is configured to route the enqueued's packet to Qdisc_B.

Enqueue packet through Qdisc_A will lead to:
 - hfsc_enqueue(Qdisc_A) -&gt; pfifo_tail_enqueue(Qdisc_B)
 - Qdisc_B-&gt;q.qlen += 1
 - pfifo_tail_enqueue() return `NET_XMIT_CN`
 - hfsc_enqueue() check for `NET_XMIT_SUCCESS` and see `NET_XMIT_CN` =&gt; hfsc_enqueue() don't increase qlen of Qdisc_A.

The whole process lead to a situation where Qdisc_A-&gt;q.qlen == 0 and Qdisc_B-&gt;q.qlen == 1.
Replace 'hfsc' with other type (for example: 'drr') still lead to the same problem.
This violate the design where parent's qlen should equal to the sum of its childrens'qlen.

Bug impact: This issue can be used for user-&gt;kernel privilege escalation when it is reachable.

commit 269e31aecdd0b70f53a05def79480f15cbcc0fd6 upstream.

There was a change in the mxs-dma engine that uses a new custom flag.
The change was not applied to the mxs spi driver.
This results in chipselect being deasserted too early.
This fixes the chipselect problem by using the new flag in the mxs-spi
driver.

<title>x86/boot: Sanitize boot params before parsing command line</title>

commit c00b413a96261faef4ce22329153c6abd4acef25 upstream.

The 5-level paging code parses the command line to look for the 'no5lvl'
string, and does so very early, before sanitize_boot_params() has been
called and has been given the opportunity to wipe bogus data from the
fields in boot_params that are not covered by struct setup_header, and
are therefore supposed to be initialized to zero by the bootloader.

This triggers an early boot crash when using syslinux-efi to boot a
recent kernel built with CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y and CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n, as
the 0xff padding that now fills the unused PE/COFF header is copied into
boot_params by the bootloader, and interpreted as the top half of the
command line pointer.

Fix this by sanitizing the boot_params before use. Note that there is no
harm in calling this more than once; subsequent invocations are able to
spot that the boot_params have already been cleaned up.

commit d55d5bc5d937743aa8ebb7ca3af25111053b5d8c upstream.

The x86 decompressor is built and linked as a separate executable, but
it shares components with the kernel proper, which are either #include'd
as C files, or linked into the decompresor as a static library (e.g, the
EFI stub)

Both the kernel itself and the decompressor define a global symbol
'boot_params' to refer to the boot_params struct, but in the former
case, it refers to the struct directly, whereas in the decompressor, it
refers to a global pointer variable referring to the struct boot_params
passed by the bootloader or constructed from scratch.

This ambiguity is unfortunate, and makes it impossible to assign this
decompressor variable from the x86 EFI stub, given that declaring it as
extern results in a clash. So rename the decompressor version (whose
scope is limited) to boot_params_ptr.

[ mingo: Renamed 'boot_params_p' to 'boot_params_ptr' for clarity ]

Commit 0d73a55208e9 ("ima: re-introduce own integrity cache lock")
mistakenly reverted the performance improvement introduced in commit
42a4c603198f0 ("ima: fix ima_inode_post_setattr"). The unused bit mask was
subsequently removed by commit 11c60f23ed13 ("integrity: Remove unused
macro IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS").

Restore the performance improvement by introducing the new mask
IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS, equal to IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS without
IMA_NEW_FILE, which is not a rule-specific flag.

Finally, reset IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS instead of IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS in
process_measurement(), if the IMA_CHANGE_ATTR atomic flag is set (after
file metadata modification).

With this patch, new files for which metadata were modified while they are
still open, can be reopened before the last file close (when security.ima
is written), since the IMA_NEW_FILE flag is not cleared anymore. Otherwise,
appraisal fails because security.ima is missing (files with IMA_NEW_FILE
set are an exception).

commit f24f669d03f884a6ef95cca84317d0f329e93961 upstream.

Per the "Processor Specification Update" documentations referred by
the intel-microcode-20240312 release note, this microcode release has
fixed the issue for all affected models.

So don't disable PCID if the microcode is new enough.  The precise
minimum microcode revision fixing the issue was provided by Pawan
Intel.

<title>uprobes: Fix race in uprobe_free_utask</title>

commit b583ef82b671c9a752fbe3e95bd4c1c51eab764d upstream.

Max Makarov reported kernel panic [1] in perf user callchain code.

The reason for that is the race between uprobe_free_utask and bpf
profiler code doing the perf user stack unwind and is triggered
within uprobe_free_utask function:
  - after current-&gt;utask is freed and
  - before current-&gt;utask is set to NULL

It can be easily reproduced by running following commands in

  # bpftrace -e 'profile:hz:100000 { @[ustack()] = count(); }'

Fixing this by making sure current-&gt;utask pointer is set to NULL
before we start to release the utask object.

<title>drm/i915/dsi: Use TRANS_DDI_FUNC_CTL's own port width macro</title>

commit 879f70382ff3e92fc854589ada3453e3f5f5b601 upstream.

The format of the port width field in the DDI_BUF_CTL and the
TRANS_DDI_FUNC_CTL registers are different starting with MTL, where the
x3 lane mode for HDMI FRL has a different encoding in the two registers.
To account for this use the TRANS_DDI_FUNC_CTL's own port width macro.
