commit a8ea6fc9b089156d9230bfeef964dd9be101a4a9 upstream.

Commit:

  00b89fe0197f ("sched: Make the idle task quack like a per-CPU kthread")

... added PF_KTHREAD | PF_NO_SETAFFINITY to the idle kernel threads.

Unfortunately these properties are inherited to the init/0 children
through kernel_thread() calls: init/1 and kthreadd. There are several
side effects to that:

1) kthreadd affinity can not be reset anymore from userspace. Also
   PF_NO_SETAFFINITY propagates to all kthreadd children, including
   the unbound kthreads Therefore it's not possible anymore to overwrite
   the affinity of any of them. Here is an example of warning reported
   by rcutorture:

		WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 116 at kernel/rcu/tree_nocb.h:1306 rcu_bind_current_to_nocb+0x31/0x40
		Call Trace:
		 rcu_torture_fwd_prog+0x62/0x730
		 kthread+0x122/0x140
		 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

2) init/1 does an exec() in the end which clears both
   PF_KTHREAD and PF_NO_SETAFFINITY so we are fine once kernel_init()
   escapes to userspace. But until then, no initcall or init code can
   successfully call sched_setaffinity() to init/1.

   Also PF_KTHREAD looks legit on init/1 before it calls exec() but
   we better be careful with unknown introduced side effects.

One way to solve the PF_NO_SETAFFINITY issue is to not inherit this flag
on copy_process() at all. The cases where it matters are:

* fork_idle(): explicitly set the flag already.
* fork() syscalls: userspace tasks that shouldn't be concerned by that.
* create_io_thread(): the callers explicitly attribute the flag to the
                      newly created tasks.
* kernel_thread():
	- Fix the issues on init/1 and kthreadd
	- Fix the issues on kthreadd children.
	- Usermode helper created by an unbound workqueue. This shouldn't
	  matter. In the worst case it gives more control to userspace
	  on setting affinity to these short living tasks although this can
	  be tuned with inherited unbound workqueues affinity already.

<title>sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

<title>Add a reference to ucounts for each cred</title>

[ Upstream commit 905ae01c4ae2ae3df05bb141801b1db4b7d83c61 ]

For RLIMIT_NPROC and some other rlimits the user_struct that holds the
global limit is kept alive for the lifetime of a process by keeping it
in struct cred. Adding a pointer to ucounts in the struct cred will
allow to track RLIMIT_NPROC not only for user in the system, but for
user in the user_namespace.

Updating ucounts may require memory allocation which may fail. So, we
cannot change cred.ucounts in the commit_creds() because this function
cannot fail and it should always return 0. For this reason, we modify
cred.ucounts before calling the commit_creds().

Changelog

v6:
* Fix null-ptr-deref in is_ucounts_overlimit() detected by trinity. This
  error was caused by the fact that cred_alloc_blank() left the ucounts
  pointer empty.

<title>Revert "signal: Allow tasks to cache one sigqueue struct"</title>

<id>b4b27b9eed8ebdbf9f3046197d29d733c8c944f3</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commits 4bad58ebc8bc4f20d89cff95417c9b4674769709 (and
399f8dd9a866e107639eabd3c1979cd526ca3a98, which tried to fix it).

I do not believe these are correct, and I'm about to release 5.13, so am
reverting them out of an abundance of caution.

The locking is odd, and appears broken.

On the allocation side (in __sigqueue_alloc()), the locking is somewhat
straightforward: it depends on sighand-&gt;siglock.  Since one caller
doesn't hold that lock, it further then tests 'sigqueue_flags' to avoid
the case with no locks held.

On the freeing side (in sigqueue_cache_or_free()), there is no locking
at all, and the logic instead depends on 'current' being a single
thread, and not able to race with itself.

To make things more exciting, there's also the data race between freeing
a signal and allocating one, which is handled by using WRITE_ONCE() and
READ_ONCE(), and being mutually exclusive wrt the initial state (ie
freeing will only free if the old state was NULL, while allocating will
obviously only use the value if it was non-NULL, so only one or the
other will actually act on the value).

However, while the free-&gt;alloc paths do seem mutually exclusive thanks
to just the data value dependency, it's not clear what the memory
ordering constraints are on it.  Could writes from the previous
allocation possibly be delayed and seen by the new allocation later,
causing logical inconsistencies?

So it's all very exciting and unusual.

And in particular, it seems that the freeing side is incorrect in
depending on "current" being single-threaded.  Yes, 'current' is a
single thread, but in the presense of asynchronous events even a single
thread can have data races.

And such asynchronous events can and do happen, with interrupts causing
signals to be flushed and thus free'd (for example - sending a
SIGCONT/SIGSTOP can happen from interrupt context, and can flush
previously queued process control signals).

So regardless of all the other questions about the memory ordering and
locking for this new cached allocation, the sigqueue_cache_or_free()
assumptions seem to be fundamentally incorrect.

It may be that people will show me the errors of my ways, and tell me
why this is all safe after all.  We can reinstate it if so.  But my
current belief is that the WRITE_ONCE() that sets the cached entry needs
to be a smp_store_release(), and the READ_ONCE() that finds a cached
entry needs to be a smp_load_acquire() to handle memory ordering
correctly.

And the sequence in sigqueue_cache_or_free() would need to either use a
lock or at least be interrupt-safe some way (perhaps by using something
like the percpu 'cmpxchg': it doesn't need to be SMP-safe, but like the
percpu operations it needs to be interrupt-safe).

<title>mm: memcontrol: fix kernel stack account</title>

<content type='text'>
For simplification commit 991e7673859e ("mm: memcontrol: account kernel
stack per node") changed the per zone vmalloc backed stack pages
accounting to per node.

By doing that we have lost a certain precision because those pages might
live in different NUMA nodes.  In the end NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB exported to
the userspace might be over estimated on some nodes while underestimated
on others.  But this is not a real world problem, just a problem found
by reading the code.  So there is no actual data to showing how much
impact it has on users.

This doesn't impose any real problem to correctnes of the kernel
behavior as the counter is not used for any internal processing but it
can cause some confusion to the userspace.

Address the problem by accounting each vmalloc backing page to its own
node.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - bpf:
        - allow bpf programs calling kernel functions (initially to
          reuse TCP congestion control implementations)
        - enable task local storage for tracing programs - remove the
          need to store per-task state in hash maps, and allow tracing
          programs access to task local storage previously added for
          BPF_LSM
        - add bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper, allowing programs to walk
          all map elements in a more robust and easier to verify fashion
        - sockmap: support UDP and cross-protocol BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT
          redirection
        - lpm: add support for batched ops in LPM trie
        - add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support - mostly to allow use of BTF on
          s390 which has floats in its headers files
        - improve BPF syscall documentation and extend the use of kdoc
          parsing scripts we already employ for bpf-helpers
        - libbpf, bpftool: support static linking of BPF ELF files
        - improve support for encapsulation of L2 packets

   - xdp: restructure redirect actions to avoid a runtime lookup,
     improving performance by 4-8% in microbenchmarks

   - xsk: build skb by page (aka generic zerocopy xmit) - improve
     performance of software AF_XDP path by 33% for devices which don't
     need headers in the linear skb part (e.g. virtio)

   - nexthop: resilient next-hop groups - improve path stability on
     next-hops group changes (incl. offload for mlxsw)

   - ipv6: segment routing: add support for IPv4 decapsulation

   - icmp: add support for RFC 8335 extended PROBE messages

   - inet: use bigger hash table for IP ID generation

   - tcp: deal better with delayed TX completions - make sure we don't
     give up on fast TCP retransmissions only because driver is slow in
     reporting that it completed transmitting the original

   - tcp: reorder tcp_congestion_ops for better cache locality

   - mptcp:
        - add sockopt support for common TCP options
        - add support for common TCP msg flags
        - include multiple address ids in RM_ADDR
        - add reset option support for resetting one subflow

   - udp: GRO L4 improvements - improve 'forward' / 'frag_list'
     co-existence with UDP tunnel GRO, allowing the first to take place
     correctly even for encapsulated UDP traffic

   - micro-optimize dev_gro_receive() and flow dissection, avoid
     retpoline overhead on VLAN and TEB GRO

   - use less memory for sysctls, add a new sysctl type, to allow using
     u8 instead of "int" and "long" and shrink networking sysctls

   - veth: allow GRO without XDP - this allows aggregating UDP packets
     before handing them off to routing, bridge, OvS, etc.

   - allow specifing ifindex when device is moved to another namespace

   - netfilter:
        - nft_socket: add support for cgroupsv2
        - nftables: add catch-all set element - special element used to
          define a default action in case normal lookup missed
        - use net_generic infra in many modules to avoid allocating
          per-ns memory unnecessarily

   - xps: improve the xps handling to avoid potential out-of-bound
     accesses and use-after-free when XPS change race with other
     re-configuration under traffic

   - add a config knob to turn off per-cpu netdev refcnt to catch
     underflows in testing

  Device APIs:

   - add WWAN subsystem to organize the WWAN interfaces better and
     hopefully start driving towards more unified and vendor-
     independent APIs

   - ethtool:
        - add interface for reading IEEE MIB stats (incl. mlx5 and bnxt
          support)
        - allow network drivers to dump arbitrary SFP EEPROM data,
          current offset+length API was a poor fit for modern SFP which
          define EEPROM in terms of pages (incl. mlx5 support)

   - act_police, flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second
     policing (incl. offload for nfp)

   - psample: add additional metadata attributes like transit delay for
     packets sampled from switch HW (and corresponding egress and
     policy-based sampling in the mlxsw driver)

   - dsa: improve support for sandwiched LAGs with bridge and DSA

   - netfilter:
        - flowtable: use direct xmit in topologies with IP forwarding,
          bridging, vlans etc.
        - nftables: counter hardware offload support

   - Bluetooth:
        - improvements for firmware download w/ Intel devices
        - add support for reading AOSP vendor capabilities
        - add support for virtio transport driver

   - mac80211:
        - allow concurrent monitor iface and ethernet rx decap
        - set priority and queue mapping for injected frames

   - phy: add support for Clause-45 PHY Loopback

   - pci/iov: add sysfs MSI-X vector assignment interface to distribute
     MSI-X resources to VFs (incl. mlx5 support)

  New hardware/drivers:

   - dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for Marvell mv88e6393x - 11-port
     Ethernet switch with 8x 1-Gigabit Ethernet and 3x 10-Gigabit

        - page_to_skb() use build_skb when there's sufficient tailroom
          (21% improvement for 1000B UDP frames)
        - support XDP even without dedicated Tx queues - share the Tx
          queues with the stack when necessary

   - mlx5:
        - flow rules: add support for mirroring with conntrack, matching
          on ICMP, GTP, flex filters and more
        - support packet sampling with flow offloads
        - persist uplink representor netdev across eswitch mode changes
        - allow coexistence of CQE compression and HW time-stamping

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Support for multi-shot mode for POLL requests

 - More efficient reference counting. This is shamelessly stolen from
   the mm side. Even though referencing is mostly single/dual user, the
   128 count was retained to keep the code the same. Maybe this
   should/could be made generic at some point.

 - Removal of the need to have a manager thread for each ring. The
   manager threads only job was checking and creating new io-threads as
   needed, instead we handle this from the queue path.

 - Allow SQPOLL without CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_NICE. Since 5.12, this
   thread is "just" a regular application thread, so no need to restrict
   use of it anymore.

 - Cleanup of how internal async poll data lifetime is managed.

 - Fix for syzbot reported crash on SQPOLL cancelation.

 - Make buffer registration more like file registrations, which includes
   flexibility in avoiding full set unregistration and re-registration.

 - Fix for io-wq affinity setting.

 - Be a bit more defensive in task-&gt;pf_io_worker setup.

 - Various SQPOLL fixes.

 - Cleanup of SQPOLL creds handling.

 - Improvements to in-flight request tracking.

 - File registration cleanups.

 - Tons of cleanups and little fixes

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Support for multi-shot mode for POLL requests

 - More efficient reference counting. This is shamelessly stolen from
   the mm side. Even though referencing is mostly single/dual user, the
   128 count was retained to keep the code the same. Maybe this
   should/could be made generic at some point.

 - Removal of the need to have a manager thread for each ring. The
   manager threads only job was checking and creating new io-threads as
   needed, instead we handle this from the queue path.

 - Allow SQPOLL without CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_NICE. Since 5.12, this
   thread is "just" a regular application thread, so no need to restrict

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Clean up SCHED_DEBUG: move the decades old mess of sysctl, procfs and
   debugfs interfaces to a unified debugfs interface.

 - Signals: Allow caching one sigqueue object per task, to improve
   performance &amp; latencies.

 - Improve newidle_balance() irq-off latencies on systems with a large
   number of CPU cgroups.

 - Improve energy-aware scheduling

 - Improve the PELT metrics for certain workloads

 - Reintroduce select_idle_smt() to improve load-balancing locality -
   but without the previous regressions

 - Add 'scheduler latency debugging': warn after long periods of pending
   need_resched. This is an opt-in feature that requires the enabling of
   the LATENCY_WARN scheduler feature, or the use of the
   resched_latency_warn_ms=xx boot parameter.

 - CPU hotplug fixes for HP-rollback, and for the 'fail' interface. Fix
   remaining balance_push() vs. hotplug holes/races

 - PSI fixes, plus allow /proc/pressure/ files to be written by
   CAP_SYS_RESOURCE tasks as well

 - Fix/improve various load-balancing corner cases vs. capacity margins

 - Fix sched topology on systems with NUMA diameter of 3 or above

 - Fix PF_KTHREAD vs to_kthread() race

 - Minor rseq optimizations

 - Misc cleanups, optimizations, fixes and smaller updates
