commit af80602799681c78f14fbe20b6185a56020dedee upstream.

In order to allow using mm_alloc() much earlier, move initializing
mm_cachep into mm_init().

commit 3f4c8211d982099be693be9aa7d6fc4607dff290 upstream.

Instead of duplicating init_mm, allocate a fresh mm. The advantage is
that mm_alloc() has much simpler dependencies. Additionally it makes
more conceptual sense, init_mm has no (and must not have) user state
to duplicate.

<title>seccomp: Move copy_seccomp() to no failure path.</title>

commit a1140cb215fa13dcec06d12ba0c3ee105633b7c4 upstream.

Our syzbot instance reported memory leaks in do_seccomp() [0], similar
to the report [1].  It shows that we miss freeing struct seccomp_filter
and some objects included in it.

We can reproduce the issue with the program below [2] which calls one
seccomp() and two clone() syscalls.

The first clone()d child exits earlier than its parent and sends a
signal to kill it during the second clone(), more precisely before the
fatal_signal_pending() test in copy_process().  When the parent receives
the signal, it has to destroy the embryonic process and return -EINTR to
user space.  In the failure path, we have to call seccomp_filter_release()
to decrement the filter's refcount.

Initially, we called it in free_task() called from the failure path, but
the commit 3a15fb6ed92c ("seccomp: release filter after task is fully
dead") moved it to release_task() to notify user space as early as possible
that the filter is no longer used.

To keep the change and current seccomp refcount semantics, let's move
copy_seccomp() just after the signal check and add a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
free_task() for future debugging.

<title>fork: allow CLONE_NEWTIME in clone3 flags</title>

commit a402f1e35313fc7ce2ca60f543c4402c2c7c3544 upstream.

Currently, calling clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME in clone_args-&gt;flags
fails with -EINVAL. This is because CLONE_NEWTIME intersects with
CSIGNAL. However, CSIGNAL was deprecated when clone3 was introduced in
commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3"), allowing re-use of that part
of clone flags.

Fix this by explicitly allowing CLONE_NEWTIME in clone3_args_valid. This
is also in line with the respective check in check_unshare_flags which
allow CLONE_NEWTIME for unshare().

fails with -EINVAL. This is because CLONE_NEWTIME intersects with
CSIGNAL. However, CSIGNAL was deprecated when clone3 was introduced in
commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3"), allowing re-use of that part
of clone flags.

Fix this by explicitly allowing CLONE_NEWTIME in clone3_args_valid. This
is also in line with the respective check in check_unshare_flags which
allow CLONE_NEWTIME for unshare().

No upstream commit exists.

This imports the io_uring codebase from 5.15.85, wholesale. Changes
from that code base:

- Drop IOCB_ALLOC_CACHE, we don't have that in 5.10.
- Drop MKDIRAT/SYMLINKAT/LINKAT. Would require further VFS backports,
  and we don't support these in 5.10 to begin with.
- sock_from_file() old style calling convention.
- Use compat_get_bitmap() only for CONFIG_COMPAT=y

[ Upstream commit b16b3855d89fba640996fefdd3a113c0aa0e380d ]

This is racy - move the blocking into when the task is created and
we're marking it as PF_IO_WORKER anyway. The IO threads are now
prepared to handle signals like SIGSTOP as well, so clear that from
the mask to allow proper stopping of IO threads.

[ Upstream commit 66ae0d1e2d9fe6ec70e73fcfdcf4b390e271c1ac ]

fork() fails if signal_pending() is true, but there are two conditions
that can lead to that:

1) An actual signal is pending. We want fork to fail for that one, like
   we always have.

2) TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is pending, because the task has pending task_work.
   We don't need to make it fail for that case.

Allow fork() to proceed if just task_work is pending, by changing the
signal_pending() check to task_sigpending().

[ Upstream commit 85eaeb5058f0f04dffb124c97c86b4f18db0b833 ]

Fix a nested dead lock as part of ODP flow by using mmput_async().

From the below call trace [1] can see that calling mmput() once we have
the umem_odp-&gt;umem_mutex locked as required by
ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock() might trigger in the same task the
exit_mmap()-&gt;__mmu_notifier_release()-&gt;mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() which
may dead lock when trying to lock the same mutex.

Moving to use mmput_async() will solve the problem as the above
exit_mmap() flow will be called in other task and will be executed once
the lock will be available.

One way to solve this problem is to move the fd_install() call out of
the sighand-&gt;siglock critical section.

Before commit 6fd2fe494b17 ("copy_process(): don't use ksys_close()
on cleanups"), the pidfd installation was done without holding both
the task_list lock and the sighand-&gt;siglock. Obviously, holding these
two locks are not really needed to protect the fd_install() call.
So move the fd_install() call down to after the releases of both locks.
