[ Upstream commit 19f94b39058681dec64a10ebeb6f23fe7fc3f77a ]
Nicholas reported that his LLM found it was possible to create a UaF
when sys_futex_requeue() is used with different flags. The initial
motivation for allowing different flags was the variable sized futex,
but since that hasn't been merged (yet), simply mandate the flags are
identical, as is the case for the old style sys_futex() requeue
operations.

Fuzzying/stressing futexes triggered:
WARNING: kernel/futex/core.c:825 at wait_for_owner_exiting+0x7a/0x80, CPU#11: futex_lock_pi_s/524
When futex_lock_pi_atomic() sees the owner is exiting, it returns -EBUSY
and stores a refcounted task pointer in 'exiting'.
After wait_for_owner_exiting() consumes that reference, the local pointer
is never reset to nil. Upon a retry, if futex_lock_pi_atomic() returns a
different error, the bogus pointer is passed to wait_for_owner_exiting().

[ Upstream commit 6b54082c3ed4dc9821cdf0edb17302355cc5bb45 ] sys_get_robust_list() and compat_get_robust_list() use ptrace_may_access() to check if the calling task is allowed to access another task's robust_list pointer. This check is racy against a concurrent exec() in the target process. During exec(), a task may transition from a non-privileged binary to a privileged one (e.g., setuid binary) and its credentials/memory mappings may change. If get_robust_list() performs ptrace_may_access() before this transition, it may erroneously allow access to sensitive information after the target becomes privileged. A racy access allows an attacker to exploit a window during which ptrace_may_access() passes before a target process transitions to a privileged state via exec(). For example, consider a non-privileged task T that is about to execute a setuid-root binary. An attacker task A calls get_robust_list(T) while T is still unprivileged. Since ptrace_may_access() checks permissions based on current credentials, it succeeds. However, if T begins exec immediately afterwards, it becomes privileged and may change its memory mappings. Because get_robust_list() proceeds to access T->robust_list without synchronizing with exec() it may read user-space pointers from a now-privileged process. This violates the intended post-exec access restrictions and could expose sensitive memory addresses or be used as a primitive in a larger exploit chain. Consequently, the race can lead to unauthorized disclosure of information across privilege boundaries and poses a potential security risk. Take a read lock on signal->exec_update_lock prior to invoking ptrace_may_access() and accessing the robust_list/compat_robust_list. This ensures that the target task's exec state remains stable during the check, allowing for consistent and synchronized validation of credentials.

[ Upstream commit b549113738e8c751b613118032a724b772aa83f2 ]
syzbot managed to trigger the following race:
T1 T2
futex_wait_requeue_pi()
futex_do_wait()
schedule()
futex_requeue()
futex_proxy_trylock_atomic()
futex_requeue_pi_prepare()
requeue_pi_wake_futex()

* timeout/ signal wakes T1 *

futex_hash_put()
// back to userland, on stack futex_q is garbage
/* back */
wake_up_state(q->task, TASK_NORMAL);
In this scenario futex_wait_requeue_pi() is able to leave without using
futex_q::lock_ptr for synchronization.
This can be prevented by reading futex_q::task before updating the
futex_q::requeue_state. A reference on the task_struct is not needed
because requeue_pi_wake_futex() is invoked with a spinlock_t held which
implies a RCU read section.
Even if T1 terminates immediately after, the task_struct will remain valid
during T2's wake_up_state(). A READ_ONCE on futex_q::task before
futex_requeue_pi_complete() is enough because it ensures that the variable
is read before the state is updated.
Read futex_q::task before updating the requeue state, use it for the
following wakeup.

[ Upstream commit 5e0e02f0d7e52cfc8b1adfc778dd02181d8b47b4 ] futex_queue() -> __futex_queue() uses 'current' as the task to store in the struct futex_q->task field. This is fine for synchronous usage of the futex infrastructure, but it's not always correct when used by io_uring where the task doing the initial futex_queue() might not be available later on. This doesn't lead to any issues currently, as the io_uring side doesn't support PI futexes, but it does leave a potentially dangling pointer which is never a good idea. Have futex_queue() take a task_struct argument, and have the regular callers pass in 'current' for that. Meanwhile io_uring can just pass in NULL, as the task should never be used off that path. In theory req->tctx->task could be used here, but there's no point populating it with a task field that will never be used anyway.

for DECLARE_FAULT_ATTR(), setup_fault_attr(), should_fail_ex(), and

Jiri Slaby reported a futex state inconsistency resulting in -EINVAL during
a lock operation for a PI futex. It requires that the a lock process is
interrupted by a timeout or signal:
T1 Owns the futex in user space.
T2 Tries to acquire the futex in kernel (futex_lock_pi()). Allocates a
pi_state and attaches itself to it.
T2 Times out and removes its rt_waiter from the rt_mutex. Drops the
rtmutex lock and tries to acquire the hash bucket lock to remove
the futex_q. The lock is contended and T2 schedules out.
T1 Unlocks the futex (futex_unlock_pi()). Finds a futex_q but no
rt_waiter. Unlocks the futex (do_uncontended) and makes it available
to user space.
T3 Acquires the futex in user space.
T4 Tries to acquire the futex in kernel (futex_lock_pi()). Finds the
existing futex_q of T2 and tries to attach itself to the existing
pi_state. This (attach_to_pi_state()) fails with -EINVAL because uval
contains the TID of T3 but pi_state points to T1.
It's incorrect to unlock the futex and make it available for user space to
acquire as long as there is still an existing state attached to it in the
kernel.
T1 cannot hand over the futex to T2 because T2 already gave up and started
to clean up and is blocked on the hash bucket lock, so T2's futex_q with
the pi_state pointing to T1 is still queued.
T2 observes the futex_q, but ignores it as there is no waiter on the
corresponding rt_mutex and takes the uncontended path which allows the
subsequent caller of futex_lock_pi() (T4) to observe that stale state.
To prevent this the unlock path must dequeue all futex_q entries which
point to the same pi_state when there is no waiter on the rt mutex. This
requires obviously to make the dequeue conditional in the locking path to
prevent a double dequeue. With that it's guaranteed that user space cannot
observe an uncontended futex which has kernel state attached.

Xi reported that commit 5694289ce183 ("futex: Flag conversion") broke
glibc's robust futex tests.
This was narrowed down to the change of FLAGS_SHARED from 0x01 to
0x10, at which point Florian noted that handle_futex_death() has a
hardcoded flags argument of 1.
Change this to: FLAGS_SIZE_32 | FLAGS_SHARED, matching how
futex_to_flags() unconditionally sets FLAGS_SIZE_32 for all legacy
futex ops.
