commit edf28f4061afe4c2d9eb1c3323d90e882c1d6800 upstream.

This reverts commit a97955844807e327df11aa33869009d14d6b7de0.

Commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list lock usage
in exit_sem()") removes a lock that is needed.  This leads to a process
looping infinitely in exit_sem() and can also lead to a crash.  There is
a reproducer available in [1] and with the commit reverted the issue
does not reproduce anymore.

Using the reproducer found in [1] is fairly easy to reach a point where
one of the child processes is looping infinitely in exit_sem between
for(;;) and if (semid == -1) block, while it's trying to free its last
sem_undo structure which has already been freed by freeary().

Each sem_undo struct is on two lists: one per semaphore set (list_id)
and one per process (list_proc).  The list_id list tracks undos by
semaphore set, and the list_proc by process.

Undo structures are removed either by freeary() or by exit_sem().  The
freeary function is invoked when the user invokes a syscall to remove a
semaphore set.  During this operation freeary() traverses the list_id
associated with the semaphore set and removes the undo structures from
both the list_id and list_proc lists.

For this case, exit_sem() is called at process exit.  Each process
contains a struct sem_undo_list (referred to as "ulp") which contains
the head for the list_proc list.  When the process exits, exit_sem()
traverses this list to remove each sem_undo struct.  As in freeary(),
whenever a sem_undo struct is removed from list_proc, it is also removed
from the list_id list.

Removing elements from list_id is safe for both exit_sem() and freeary()
due to sem_lock().  Removing elements from list_proc is not safe;
freeary() locks &amp;un-&gt;ulp-&gt;lock when it performs
list_del_rcu(&amp;un-&gt;list_proc) but exit_sem() does not (locking was
removed by commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded sem_undo_list
lock usage in exit_sem()").

This can result in the following situation while executing the
reproducer [1] : Consider a child process in exit_sem() and the parent
in freeary() (because of semctl(sid[i], NSEM, IPC_RMID)).

 - The list_proc for the child contains the last two undo structs A and
   B (the rest have been removed either by exit_sem() or freeary()).

 - The semid for A is 1 and semid for B is 2.

 - exit_sem() removes A and at the same time freeary() removes B.

 - Since A and B have different semid sem_lock() will acquire different
   locks for each process and both can proceed.

The bug is that they remove A and B from the same list_proc at the same
time because only freeary() acquires the ulp lock. When exit_sem()
removes A it makes ulp-&gt;list_proc.next to point at B and at the same
time freeary() removes B setting B-&gt;semid=-1.

At the next iteration of for(;;) loop exit_sem() will try to remove B.

The only way to break from for(;;) is for (&amp;un-&gt;list_proc ==
&amp;ulp-&gt;list_proc) to be true which is not. Then exit_sem() will check if
B-&gt;semid=-1 which is and will continue looping in for(;;) until the
memory for B is reallocated and the value at B-&gt;semid is changed.

At that point, exit_sem() will crash attempting to unlink B from the
lists (this can be easily triggered by running the reproducer [1] a
second time).

To prove this scenario instrumentation was added to keep information
about each sem_undo (un) struct that is removed per process and per
semaphore set (sma).

          CPU0                                CPU1
  [caller holds sem_lock(sma for A)]      ...
  freeary()                               exit_sem()
  ...                                     ...
  ...                                     sem_lock(sma for B)
  spin_lock(A-&gt;ulp-&gt;lock)                 ...
  list_del_rcu(un_A-&gt;list_proc)           list_del_rcu(un_B-&gt;list_proc)

Undo structures A and B have different semid and sem_lock() operations
proceed.  However they belong to the same list_proc list and they are
removed at the same time.  This results into ulp-&gt;list_proc.next
pointing to the address of B which is already removed.

After reverting commit a97955844807 ("ipc,sem: remove uneeded
sem_undo_list lock usage in exit_sem()") the issue was no longer
reproducible.

commit 889b331724c82c11e15ba0a60979cf7bded0a26c upstream.

A use of uninitialized memory in msgctl_down() because msqid64 in
ksys_msgctl hasn't been initialized.  The local | msqid64 | is created in
ksys_msgctl() and then passed into msgctl_down().  Along the way msqid64
is never initialized before msgctl_down() checks msqid64-&gt;msg_qbytes.

Replace all the occurrences of FIELD_SIZEOF() with sizeof_field() except
at places where these are defined. Later patches will remove the unused
definition of FIELD_SIZEOF().

This patch is generated using following script:

EXCLUDE_FILES="include/linux/stddef.h|include/linux/kernel.h"

git grep -l -e "\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b" | while read file;
do

	if [[ "$file" =~ $EXCLUDE_FILES ]]; then
		continue
	fi
	sed -i  -e 's/\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b/sizeof_field/g' $file;
done

The CONFIG_64BIT_TIME option is defined on all architectures, and can

CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST requires list_for_each_entry_rcu() to pass a lockdep
expression if using srcu or locking for protection.  It can only check
regular RCU protection, all other protection needs to be passed as lockdep
expression.

<title>ipc/mqueue: improve exception handling in do_mq_notify()</title>

Null pointers were assigned to local variables in a few cases as exception
handling.  The jump target “out” was used where no meaningful data
processing actions should eventually be performed by branches of an if
statement then.  Use an additional jump target for calling dev_kfree_skb()
directly.

Return also directly after error conditions were detected when no extra
clean-up is needed by this function implementation.

dev_kfree_skb() input parameter validation, thus the test around the call
is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

<title>ipc: fix sparc64 ipc() wrapper</title>

<content type='text'>
Matt bisected a sparc64 specific issue with semctl, shmctl and msgctl
to a commit from my y2038 series in linux-5.1, as I missed the custom
sys_ipc() wrapper that sparc64 uses in place of the generic version that
I patched.

The problem is that the sys_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions in the kernel
now do not allow being called with the IPC_64 flag any more, resulting
in a -EINVAL error when they don't recognize the command.

Instead, the correct way to do this now is to call the internal
ksys_old_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions to select the API version.

As we generally move towards these functions anyway, change all of
sparc_ipc() to consistently use those in place of the sys_*() versions,
and move the required ksys_*() declarations into linux/syscalls.h

The IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SYSVIPC) check is required to avoid link
errors when ipc is disabled.
