commit 63174f61dfaef58dc0e813eaf6602636794f8942 upstream.

Clang warns:

../kernel/extable.c:37:52: warning: array comparison always evaluates to
a constant [-Wtautological-compare]
        if (main_extable_sort_needed &amp;&amp; __stop___ex_table &gt; __start___ex_table) {
                                                          ^
1 warning generated.

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just
addresses.  Using the address of operator silences the warning and does
not change the resulting assembly with either clang/ld.lld or gcc/ld
(tested with diff + objdump -Dr).

<title>bpf: Fix mask generation for 32-bit narrow loads of 64-bit fields</title>

<id>a40aa36a696c8c81050619e8daf50a2c60f5f503</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0613d8ca9ab382caabe9ed2dceb429e9781e443f upstream.

A narrow load from a 64-bit context field results in a 64-bit load
followed potentially by a 64-bit right-shift and then a bitwise AND
operation to extract the relevant data.

In the case of a 32-bit access, an immediate mask of 0xffffffff is used
to construct a 64-bit BPP_AND operation which then sign-extends the mask
value and effectively acts as a glorified no-op. For example:

0:	61 10 00 00 00 00 00 00	r0 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 0)

results in the following code generation for a 64-bit field:

	ldr	x7, [x7]	// 64-bit load
	mov	x10, #0xffffffffffffffff
	and	x7, x7, x10

Fix the mask generation so that narrow loads always perform a 32-bit AND
operation:

	ldr	x7, [x7]	// 64-bit load
	mov	w10, #0xffffffff
	and	w7, w7, w10

<title>relayfs: fix out-of-bounds access in relay_file_read</title>

[ Upstream commit 43ec16f1450f4936025a9bdf1a273affdb9732c1 ]

There is a crash in relay_file_read, as the var from
point to the end of last subbuf.

The oops looks something like:
pc : __arch_copy_to_user+0x180/0x310
lr : relay_file_read+0x20c/0x2c8
Call trace:
 __arch_copy_to_user+0x180/0x310
 full_proxy_read+0x68/0x98
 vfs_read+0xb0/0x1d0
 ksys_read+0x6c/0xf0
 __arm64_sys_read+0x20/0x28
 el0_svc_common.constprop.3+0x84/0x108
 do_el0_svc+0x74/0x90
 el0_svc+0x1c/0x28
 el0_sync_handler+0x88/0xb0
 el0_sync+0x148/0x180

We get the condition by analyzing the vmcore:

1). The last produced byte and last consumed byte
    both at the end of the last subbuf

2). A softirq calls function(e.g __blk_add_trace)
    to write relay buffer occurs when an program is calling
    relay_file_read_avail().

        relay_file_read
                relay_file_read_avail
                        relay_file_read_consume(buf, 0, 0);
                        //interrupted by softirq who will write subbuf
                        ....
                        return 1;
                //read_start point to the end of the last subbuf
                read_start = relay_file_read_start_pos
                //avail is equal to subsize
                avail = relay_file_read_subbuf_avail
                //from  points to an invalid memory address
                from = buf-&gt;start + read_start
                //system is crashed
                copy_to_user(buffer, from, avail)

[ Upstream commit 341a7213e5c1ce274cc0f02270054905800ea660 ]

When reading, read_pos should start with bytes_consumed, not file-&gt;f_pos.
Because when there is more than one reader, the read_pos corresponding to
file-&gt;f_pos may have been consumed, which will cause the data that has
been consumed to be read and the bytes_consumed update error.

[ Upstream commit 58d7668242647e661a20efe065519abd6454287e ]

For CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL systems, the tick_do_timer_cpu cannot be offlined.
However, cpu_is_hotpluggable() still returns true for those CPUs. This causes
torture tests that do offlining to end up trying to offline this CPU causing
test failures. Such failure happens on all architectures.

Fix the repeated error messages thrown by this (even if the hotplug errors are
harmless) by asking the opinion of the nohz subsystem on whether the CPU can be
hotplugged.

[ Apply Frederic Weisbecker feedback on refactoring tick_nohz_cpu_down(). ]

[ Upstream commit 01b4c39901e087ceebae2733857248de81476bd8 ]

If a nohz_full CPU is looping in the kernel, the scheduling-clock tick
might nevertheless remain disabled.  In !PREEMPT kernels, this can
prevent RCU's attempts to enlist the aid of that CPU's executions of
cond_resched(), which can in turn result in an arbitrarily delayed grace
period and thus an OOM.  RCU therefore needs a way to enable a holdout
nohz_full CPU's scheduler-clock interrupt.

This commit therefore provides a new TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU value which RCU can
pass to tick_dep_set_cpu() and friends to force on the scheduler-clock
interrupt for a specified CPU or task.  In some cases, rcutorture needs
to turn on the scheduler-clock tick, so this commit also exports the
relevant symbols to GPL-licensed modules.

[ Upstream commit 01b4c39901e087ceebae2733857248de81476bd8 ]

If a nohz_full CPU is looping in the kernel, the scheduling-clock tick
might nevertheless remain disabled.  In !PREEMPT kernels, this can
prevent RCU's attempts to enlist the aid of that CPU's executions of
cond_resched(), which can in turn result in an arbitrarily delayed grace
period and thus an OOM.  RCU therefore needs a way to enable a holdout
nohz_full CPU's scheduler-clock interrupt.

This commit therefore provides a new TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU value which RCU can
pass to tick_dep_set_cpu() and friends to force on the scheduler-clock
interrupt for a specified CPU or task.  In some cases, rcutorture needs
to turn on the scheduler-clock tick, so this commit also exports the
relevant symbols to GPL-licensed modules.

[ Upstream commit 15def34e2635ab7e0e96f1bc32e1b69609f14942 ]

commit e050e3f0a71bf ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
introduces a change in throttling threshold judgment. Before this,
compare hwc-&gt;interrupts and max_samples_per_tick, then increase
hwc-&gt;interrupts by 1, but this commit reverses order of these two
behaviors, causing the semantics of max_samples_per_tick to change.
In literal sense of "max_samples_per_tick", if hwc-&gt;interrupts ==
max_samples_per_tick, it should not be throttled, therefore, the judgment
condition should be changed to "hwc-&gt;interrupts &gt; max_samples_per_tick".

In fact, this may cause the hardlockup to fail, The minimum value of
max_samples_per_tick may be 1, in this case, the return value of
__perf_event_account_interrupt function is 1.
As a result, nmi_watchdog gets throttled, which would stop PMU (Use x86
architecture as an example, see x86_pmu_handle_irq).

<title>ring-buffer: Sync IRQ works before buffer destruction</title>

commit 675751bb20634f981498c7d66161584080cc061e upstream.

If something was written to the buffer just before destruction,
it may be possible (maybe not in a real system, but it did
happen in ARCH=um with time-travel) to destroy the ringbuffer
before the IRQ work ran, leading this KASAN report (or a crash
without KASAN):

commit ba9182a89626d5f83c2ee4594f55cb9c1e60f0e2 upstream.

After a successful cpuset_can_attach() call which increments the
attach_in_progress flag, either cpuset_cancel_attach() or cpuset_attach()
will be called later. In cpuset_attach(), tasks in cpuset_attach_wq,
if present, will be woken up at the end. That is not the case in
cpuset_cancel_attach(). So missed wakeup is possible if the attach
operation is somehow cancelled. Fix that by doing the wakeup in
cpuset_cancel_attach() as well.

commit 6455b6163d8c680366663cdb8c679514d55fc30c upstream.

When user reads file 'trace_pipe', kernel keeps printing following logs
that warn at "cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;read &gt; rb_page_size(reader)" in
rb_get_reader_page(). It just looks like there's an infinite loop in
tracing_read_pipe(). This problem occurs several times on arm64 platform
when testing v5.10 and below.

  Call trace:
   rb_get_reader_page+0x248/0x1300
   rb_buffer_peek+0x34/0x160
   ring_buffer_peek+0xbc/0x224
   peek_next_entry+0x98/0xbc
   __find_next_entry+0xc4/0x1c0

   el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x7c/0x1bc
   do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x94
   el0_svc+0x20/0x30
   el0_sync_handler+0xb0/0xb4
   el0_sync+0x160/0x180

Then I dump the vmcore and look into the problematic per_cpu ring_buffer,
I found that tail_page/commit_page/reader_page are on the same page while
reader_page-&gt;read is obviously abnormal:
  tail_page == commit_page == reader_page == {
    .write = 0x100d20,
    .read = 0x8f9f4805,  // Far greater than 0xd20, obviously abnormal!!!
    .entries = 0x10004c,
    .real_end = 0x0,
    .page = {
      .time_stamp = 0x857257416af0,
      .commit = 0xd20,  // This page hasn't been full filled.
      // .data[0...0xd20] seems normal.
    }
 }

The root cause is most likely the race that reader and writer are on the
same page while reader saw an event that not fully committed by writer.

To fix this, add memory barriers to make sure the reader can see the
content of what is committed. Since commit a0fcaaed0c46 ("ring-buffer: Fix
race between reset page and reading page") has added the read barrier in
rb_get_reader_page(), here we just need to add the write barrier.
