[ Upstream commit 1a365e822372ba24c9da0822bc583894f6f3d821 ]

This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN,
it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports,
suggesting these are extremely frequent.

Example data race report:

  read to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 221 on cpu 2:
   debug_spin_lock_before kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:85 [inline]
   do_raw_spin_lock+0x9b/0x210 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:112
   __raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:143 [inline]
   _raw_spin_lock+0x39/0x40 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:151
   spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline]
   get_partial_node.isra.0.part.0+0x32/0x2f0 mm/slub.c:1873
   get_partial_node mm/slub.c:1870 [inline]
  &lt;snip&gt;

  write to 0xffff8ab24f403c48 of 4 bytes by task 167 on cpu 3:
   debug_spin_unlock kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:103 [inline]
   do_raw_spin_unlock+0xc9/0x1a0 kernel/locking/spinlock_debug.c:138
   __raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:159 [inline]
   _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2d/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:191
   spin_unlock_irqrestore include/linux/spinlock.h:393 [inline]
   free_debug_processing+0x1b3/0x210 mm/slub.c:1214
   __slab_free+0x292/0x400 mm/slub.c:2864
  &lt;snip&gt;

As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most
likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -&gt; printk lock -&gt; spinlock_debug -&gt;
KCSAN detects data race -&gt; kcsan_print_report() -&gt; printk lock -&gt;
deadlock.

This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging
together with KCSAN.

commit e31f7939c1c27faa5d0e3f14519eaf7c89e8a69d upstream.

The ftrace_profile-&gt;counter is unsigned long and
do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test
non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.

<title>tracing: Have the histogram compare functions convert to u64 first</title>

commit 106f41f5a302cb1f36c7543fae6a05de12e96fa4 upstream.

The compare functions of the histogram code would be specific for the size
of the value being compared (byte, short, int, long long). It would
reference the value from the array via the type of the compare, but the
value was stored in a 64 bit number. This is fine for little endian
machines, but for big endian machines, it would end up comparing zeros or
all ones (depending on the sign) for anything but 64 bit numbers.

To fix this, first derference the value as a u64 then convert it to the type
being compared.

commit 84029fd04c201a4c7e0b07ba262664900f47c6f5 upstream.

The cred_jar kmem_cache is already memcg accounted in the current kernel
but cred-&gt;security is not.  Account cred-&gt;security to kmemcg.

Recently we saw high root slab usage on our production and on further
inspection, we found a buggy application leaking processes.  Though that
buggy application was contained within its memcg but we observe much
more system memory overhead, couple of GiBs, during that period.  This
overhead can adversely impact the isolation on the system.

One source of high overhead we found was cred-&gt;security objects, which
have a lifetime of at least the life of the process which allocated
them.

[ Upstream commit da6043fe85eb5ec621e34a92540735dcebbea134 ]

When looking for a bit by number we make use of the cached result from the
preceding lookup to speed up operation.  Firstly we check if the requested
pfn is within the cached zone and if not lookup the new zone.  We then
check if the offset for that pfn falls within the existing cached node.
This happens regardless of whether the node is within the zone we are
now scanning.  With certain memory layouts it is possible for this to
false trigger creating a temporary alias for the pfn to a different bit.
This leads the hibernation code to free memory which it was never allocated
with the expected fallout.

Ensure the zone we are scanning matches the cached zone before considering
the cached node.

Deep thanks go to Andrea for many, many, many hours of hacking and testing
that went into cornering this bug.

[ Upstream commit da6043fe85eb5ec621e34a92540735dcebbea134 ]

When looking for a bit by number we make use of the cached result from the
preceding lookup to speed up operation.  Firstly we check if the requested
pfn is within the cached zone and if not lookup the new zone.  We then
check if the offset for that pfn falls within the existing cached node.
This happens regardless of whether the node is within the zone we are
now scanning.  With certain memory layouts it is possible for this to
false trigger creating a temporary alias for the pfn to a different bit.
This leads the hibernation code to free memory which it was never allocated
with the expected fallout.

Ensure the zone we are scanning matches the cached zone before considering
the cached node.

Deep thanks go to Andrea for many, many, many hours of hacking and testing
that went into cornering this bug.

commit 56144737e67329c9aaed15f942d46a6302e2e3d8 upstream.

syzbot reported various data-race caused by hrtimer_is_queued() reading
timer-&gt;state. A READ_ONCE() is required there to silence the warning.

Also add the corresponding WRITE_ONCE() when timer-&gt;state is set.

In remove_hrtimer() the hrtimer_is_queued() helper is open coded to avoid
loading timer-&gt;state twice.

KCSAN reported these cases:

[ Upstream commit 204cb79ad42f015312a5bbd7012d09c93d9b46fb ]

Currently, the drop_caches proc file and sysctl read back the last value
written, suggesting this is somehow a stateful setting instead of a
one-time command.  Make it write-only, like e.g.  compact_memory.

While mitigating a VM problem at scale in our fleet, there was confusion
about whether writing to this file will permanently switch the kernel into
a non-caching mode.  This influences the decision making in a tense
situation, where tens of people are trying to fix tens of thousands of
affected machines: Do we need a rollback strategy?  What are the
performance implications of operating in a non-caching state for several
days?  It also caused confusion when the kernel team said we may need to
write the file several times to make sure it's effective ("But it already
reads back 3?").

[ Upstream commit 5d603311615f612320bb77bd2a82553ef1ced5b7 ]

Fix the race between load and unload a kernel module.

sys_delete_module()
 try_stop_module()
  mod-&gt;state = _GOING
					add_unformed_module()
					 old = find_module_all()
					 (old-&gt;state == _GOING =&gt;
					  wait_event_interruptible())

					 During pre-condition
					 finished_loading() rets 0
					 schedule()
					 (never gets waken up later)
 free_module()
  mod-&gt;state = _UNFORMED
   list_del_rcu(&amp;mod-&gt;list)
   (dels mod from "modules" list)

return

The race above leads to modprobe hanging forever on loading
a module.

Error paths on loading module call wake_up_all(&amp;module_wq) after
freeing module, so let's do the same on straight module unload.
