commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream.

We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.

For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions &lt; 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size.  And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).

And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.

At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.

So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".

Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would.  In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.

That's currently not the world we live in, though.

<title>kbuild: compute false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized cases in Kconfig</title>

commit b303c6df80c9f8f13785aa83a0471fca7e38b24d upstream.

Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched
various false positives:

 - commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building
   with -Os") turned off this option for -Os.

 - commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning
   for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for
   CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES

 - commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
   for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC &lt; 4.9
   Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903

I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.

<title>ptp: fix the race between the release of ptp_clock and cdev</title>

commit a33121e5487b424339636b25c35d3a180eaa5f5e upstream.

In a case when a ptp chardev (like /dev/ptp0) is open but an underlying
device is removed, closing this file leads to a race. This reproduces
easily in a kvm virtual machine:

ts# cat openptp0.c
int main() { ... fp = fopen("/dev/ptp0", "r"); ... sleep(10); }
ts# uname -r
5.5.0-rc3-46cf053e
ts# cat /proc/cmdline
... slub_debug=FZP
ts# modprobe ptp_kvm
ts# ./openptp0 &amp;

ts# rmmod ptp_kvm

[   48.045001] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

This happens in:

static void __fput(struct file *file)
{   ...
    if (file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release)
        file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release(inode, file); &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev is kfree'd here
    if (unlikely(S_ISCHR(inode-&gt;i_mode) &amp;&amp; inode-&gt;i_cdev != NULL &amp;&amp;
             !(mode &amp; FMODE_PATH))) {
        cdev_put(inode-&gt;i_cdev); &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev fields are accessed here

Namely:

__fput()
  posix_clock_release()
    kref_put(&amp;clk-&gt;kref, delete_clock) &lt;&lt;&lt; the last reference
      delete_clock()
        delete_ptp_clock()
          kfree(ptp) &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev is embedded in ptp
  cdev_put
    module_put(p-&gt;owner) &lt;&lt;&lt; *p is kfree'd, bang!

Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock.
The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two
refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong.

Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add()
created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its
ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released.
This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct
device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead
of a simple dev_t.

This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix
the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See
details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add
helper function to register char devs with a struct device").

<title>blktrace: fix dereference after null check</title>

commit 153031a301bb07194e9c37466cfce8eacb977621 upstream.

There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to
`q-&gt;blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access.

However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of
`bt` pointer even when it's NULL:

Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID
1460458.

```
/kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store()
1898            ret = 0;
1899            if (bt == NULL)
1900                    ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev);
1901
1902            if (ret == 0) {
1903                    if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_act_mask)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     CID 1460458:  Null pointer dereferences  (FORWARD_NULL)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     Dereferencing null pointer "bt".
1904                            bt-&gt;act_mask = value;
1905                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_pid)
1906                            bt-&gt;pid = value;
1907                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_start_lba)
1908                            bt-&gt;start_lba = value;
1909                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_end_lba)
```

Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.

Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.

commit c780e86dd48ef6467a1146cf7d0fe1e05a635039 upstream.

KASAN is reporting that __blk_add_trace() has a use-after-free issue
when accessing q-&gt;blk_trace. Indeed the switching of block tracing (and
thus eventual freeing of q-&gt;blk_trace) is completely unsynchronized with
the currently running tracing and thus it can happen that the blk_trace
structure is being freed just while __blk_add_trace() works on it.
Protect accesses to q-&gt;blk_trace by RCU during tracing and make sure we
wait for the end of RCU grace period when shutting down tracing. Luckily
that is rare enough event that we can afford that. Note that postponing
the freeing of blk_trace to an RCU callback should better be avoided as
it could have unexpected user visible side-effects as debugfs files
would be still existing for a short while block tracing has been shut
down.

commit 2967acbb257a6a9bf912f4778b727e00972eac9b upstream.

A previous commit changed the locking around registration/cleanup,
but direct callers of blk_trace_remove() were missed. This means
that if we hit the error path in setup, we will deadlock on
attempting to re-acquire the queue trace mutex.

commit 1f2cac107c591c24b60b115d6050adc213d10fc0 upstream.

sg.c calls into the blktrace functions without holding the proper queue
mutex for doing setup, start/stop, or teardown.

Add internal unlocked variants, and export the ones that do the proper
locking.

<title>blktrace: Fix potential deadlock between delete &amp; sysfs ops</title>

commit 5acb3cc2c2e9d3020a4fee43763c6463767f1572 upstream.

The lockdep code had reported the following unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(s_active#228);
                               lock(&amp;bdev-&gt;bd_mutex/1);
                               lock(s_active#228);
  lock(&amp;bdev-&gt;bd_mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

The deadlock may happen when one task (CPU1) is trying to delete a
partition in a block device and another task (CPU0) is accessing
tracing sysfs file (e.g. /sys/block/dm-1/trace/act_mask) in that
partition.

The s_active isn't an actual lock. It is a reference count (kn-&gt;count)
on the sysfs (kernfs) file. Removal of a sysfs file, however, require
a wait until all the references are gone. The reference count is
treated like a rwsem using lockdep instrumentation code.

The fact that a thread is in the sysfs callback method or in the
ioctl call means there is a reference to the opended sysfs or device
file. That should prevent the underlying block structure from being
removed.

Instead of using bd_mutex in the block_device structure, a new
blk_trace_mutex is now added to the request_queue structure to protect
access to the blk_trace structure.

commit ea1dc6fc6242f991656e35e2ed3d90ec1cd13418 upstream.

Commit:

  fde7d22e01aa ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities")

did something non-obvious but also did it buggy yet latent.

The problem was exposed for real by a later commit in the v4.7 merge window:

  2159197d6677 ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit kernels")

... after which tg-&gt;load_avg and cfs_rq-&gt;load.weight had different
units (10 bit fixed point and 20 bit fixed point resp.).

Add a comment to explain the use of cfs_rq-&gt;load.weight over the
'natural' cfs_rq-&gt;avg.load_avg and add scale_load_down() to correct
for the difference in unit.

Since this is (now, as per a previous commit) the only user of
calc_tg_weight(), collapse it.

The effects of this bug should be randomly inconsistent SMP-balancing
of cgroups workloads.

commit 20b2b24f91f70e7d3f0918c077546cb21bd73a87 upstream.

In map_create(), we first find and create the map, then once that
suceeded, we charge it to the user's RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, and then fetch
a new anon fd through anon_inode_getfd(). The problem is, once the
latter fails f.e. due to RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, then we only destruct
the map via map-&gt;ops-&gt;map_free(), but without uncharging the previously
locked memory first. That means that the user_struct allocation is
leaked as well as the accounted RLIMIT_MEMLOCK memory not released.
Make the label names in the fix consistent with bpf_prog_load().
