[ Upstream commit 1e0ce03bf142454f38a5fc050bf4fd698d2d36d8 ]

The "mdr" command should repeat (continue) when only Enter/Return
is pressed, so make it do so.

[ Upstream commit 3caa973b7a260e7a2a69edc94c300ab9c65148c3 ]

When RCU stall warning triggers, it can print out a lot of messages
while holding spinlocks.  If the console device is slow (e.g. an
actual or IPMI serial console), it may end up triggering NMI hard
lockup watchdog like the following.

[ Upstream commit 23138ead270045f1b3e912e667967b6094244999 ]

If there is a memory allocation error when trying to change an audit
kernel feature value, the ignored allocation error will trigger a NULL
pointer dereference oops on subsequent use of that pointer.  Return
instead.

Passes audit-testsuite.

[ Upstream commit 9e5b127d6f33468143d90c8a45ca12410e4c3fa7 ]

Mark reported his arm64 perf fuzzer runs sometimes splat like:

  armv8pmu_read_counter+0x1e8/0x2d8
  armpmu_event_update+0x8c/0x188
  armpmu_read+0xc/0x18
  perf_output_read+0x550/0x11e8
  perf_event_read_event+0x1d0/0x248
  perf_event_exit_task+0x468/0xbb8
  do_exit+0x690/0x1310
  do_group_exit+0xd0/0x2b0
  get_signal+0x2e8/0x17a8
  do_signal+0x144/0x4f8
  do_notify_resume+0x148/0x1e8
  work_pending+0x8/0x14

which asserts that we only call pmu::read() on ACTIVE events.

The above callchain does:

  perf_event_exit_task()
    perf_event_exit_task_context()
      task_ctx_sched_out() // INACTIVE
      perf_event_exit_event()
        perf_event_set_state(EXIT) // EXIT
        sync_child_event()
          perf_event_read_event()
            perf_output_read()
              perf_output_read_group()
                leader-&gt;pmu-&gt;read()

Which results in doing a pmu::read() on an !ACTIVE event.

I _think_ this is 'new' since we added attr.inherit_stat, which added
the perf_event_read_event() to the exit path, without that
perf_event_read_output() would only trigger from samples and for
@event to trigger a sample, it's leader _must_ be ACTIVE too.

Still, adding this check makes it consistent with the @sub case for
the siblings.

[ Upstream commit 33801b94741d6c3be9713c10aa627477216c21e2 ]

There's two problems when installing cgroup events on CPUs: firstly
list_update_cgroup_event() only tries to set cpuctx-&gt;cgrp for the
first event, if that mismatches on @cgrp we'll not try again for later
additions.

Secondly, when we install a cgroup event into an active context, only
issue an event reprogram when the event matches the current cgroup
context. This avoids a pointless event reprogramming.

[ Upstream commit d29a20645d5e929aa7e8616f28e5d8e1c49263ec ]

While running rt-tests' pi_stress program I got the following splat:

  rq-&gt;clock_update_flags &lt; RQCF_ACT_SKIP
  WARNING: CPU: 27 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:960 assert_clock_updated.isra.38.part.39+0x13/0x20

  cpu_startup_entry+0x5f/0x70
  start_secondary+0x192/0x1d0
  secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0

We can get rid of it be the "traditional" means of adding an
update_rq_clock() call after acquiring the rq-&gt;lock in
do_sched_rt_period_timer().

The case for the RT task throttling (which this workload also hits)
can be ignored in that the skip_update call is actually bogus and
quite the contrary (the request bits are removed/reverted).

By setting RQCF_UPDATED we really don't care if the skip is happening
or not and will therefore make the assert_clock_updated() check happy.

[ Upstream commit 0211e12dd0a5385ecffd3557bc570dbad7fcf245 ]

When the allocation of node_to_possible_cpumask fails, then
irq_create_affinity_masks() returns with a pointer to the empty affinity
masks array, which will cause malfunction.

Reorder the allocations so the masks array allocation comes last and every
failure path returns NULL.

Fixes: 9a0ef98e186d ("genirq/affinity: Assign vectors to all present CPUs")

[ Upstream commit 0211e12dd0a5385ecffd3557bc570dbad7fcf245 ]

When the allocation of node_to_possible_cpumask fails, then
irq_create_affinity_masks() returns with a pointer to the empty affinity
masks array, which will cause malfunction.

Reorder the allocations so the masks array allocation comes last and every
failure path returns NULL.

Fixes: 9a0ef98e186d ("genirq/affinity: Assign vectors to all present CPUs")

commit 23d6aef74da86a33fa6bb75f79565e0a16ee97c2 upstream.

`resource' can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential
exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

  kernel/sys.c:1474 __do_compat_sys_old_getrlimit() warn: potential spectre issue 'get_current()-&gt;signal-&gt;rlim' (local cap)
  kernel/sys.c:1455 __do_sys_old_getrlimit() warn: potential spectre issue 'get_current()-&gt;signal-&gt;rlim' (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing *resource* before using it to index
current-&gt;signal-&gt;rlim

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to
kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

commit af86ca4e3088fe5eacf2f7e58c01fa68ca067672 upstream

Detect code patterns where malicious 'speculative store bypass' can be used
and sanitize such patterns.

 39: (bf) r3 = r10
 40: (07) r3 += -216
 41: (79) r8 = *(u64 *)(r7 +0)   // slow read
 42: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -72) = 0  // verifier inserts this instruction
 43: (7b) *(u64 *)(r8 +0) = r3   // this store becomes slow due to r8
 44: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r6 +0)   // cpu speculatively executes this load
 45: (71) r2 = *(u8 *)(r1 +0)    // speculatively arbitrary 'load byte'
                                 // is now sanitized

Above code after x86 JIT becomes:
 e5: mov    %rbp,%rdx
 e8: add    $0xffffffffffffff28,%rdx
 ef: mov    0x0(%r13),%r14
 f3: movq   $0x0,-0x48(%rbp)
 fb: mov    %rdx,0x0(%r14)
 ff: mov    0x0(%rbx),%rdi
103: movzbq 0x0(%rdi),%rsi

<title>seccomp: Move speculation migitation control to arch code</title>

commit 8bf37d8c067bb7eb8e7c381bdadf9bd89182b6bc upstream

The migitation control is simpler to implement in architecture code as it
avoids the extra function call to check the mode. Aside of that having an
explicit seccomp enabled mode in the architecture mitigations would require
even more workarounds.

Move it into architecture code and provide a weak function in the seccomp
code. Remove the 'which' argument as this allows the architecture to decide
which mitigations are relevant for seccomp.
