commit f227e3ec3b5cad859ad15666874405e8c1bbc1d4 upstream.

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.

Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.

In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state.  For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.

[ Upstream commit 1d4e1eab456e1ee92a94987499b211db05f900ea ]

Fix HASH_OF_MAPS bug of not putting inner map pointer on bpf_map_elem_update()
operation. This is due to per-cpu extra_elems optimization, which bypassed
free_htab_elem() logic doing proper clean ups. Make sure that inner map is put
properly in optimized case as well.

commit 8ac68dc455d9d18241d44b96800d73229029ed34 upstream.

Unfortunately the commit listed in the subject line above failed
to ensure that the task's audit_context was properly initialized/set
before enabling the "accompanying records".  Depending on the
situation, the resulting audit_context could have invalid values in
some of it's fields which could cause a kernel panic/oops when the
task/syscall exists and the audit records are generated.

We will revisit the original patch, with the necessary fixes, in a
future kernel but right now we just want to fix the kernel panic
with the least amount of added risk.

<title>uprobes: Change handle_swbp() to send SIGTRAP with si_code=SI_KERNEL, to fix GDB regression</title>

commit fe5ed7ab99c656bd2f5b79b49df0e9ebf2cead8a upstream.

If a tracee is uprobed and it hits int3 inserted by debugger, handle_swbp()
does send_sig(SIGTRAP, current, 0) which means si_code == SI_USER. This used
to work when this code was written, but then GDB started to validate si_code
and now it simply can't use breakpoints if the tracee has an active uprobe:

	# cat test.c
	void unused_func(void)
	{
	}
	int main(void)
	{
		return 0;
	}

	# gcc -g test.c -o test
	# perf probe -x ./test -a unused_func
	# perf record -e probe_test:unused_func gdb ./test -ex run
	GNU gdb (GDB) 10.0.50.20200714-git
	...
	Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
	0x00007ffff7ddf909 in dl_main () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
	(gdb)

The tracee hits the internal breakpoint inserted by GDB to monitor shared
library events but GDB misinterprets this SIGTRAP and reports a signal.

Change handle_swbp() to use force_sig(SIGTRAP), this matches do_int3_user()
and fixes the problem.

This is the minimal fix for -stable, arch/x86/kernel/uprobes.c is equally
wrong; it should use send_sigtrap(TRAP_TRACE) instead of send_sig(SIGTRAP),
but this doesn't confuse GDB and needs another x86-specific patch.

[ Upstream commit c4c0bdc0d2d084ed847c7066bdf59fe2cd25aa17 ]

Currently, if a bpf program has more than one subprograms, each program will be
jitted separately. For programs with bpf-to-bpf calls the
prog-&gt;aux-&gt;num_exentries is not setup properly. For example, with
bpf_iter_netlink.c modified to force one function to be not inlined and with
CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON the following error is seen:
   $ ./test_progs -n 3/3
   ...
   libbpf: failed to load program 'iter/netlink'
   libbpf: failed to load object 'bpf_iter_netlink'
   libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bpf_iter_netlink': -4007
   test_netlink:FAIL:bpf_iter_netlink__open_and_load skeleton open_and_load failed
   #3/3 netlink:FAIL
The dmesg shows the following errors:
   ex gen bug
which is triggered by the following code in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
   if (excnt &gt;= bpf_prog-&gt;aux-&gt;num_exentries) {
     pr_err("ex gen bug\n");
     return -EFAULT;
   }

This patch fixes the issue by computing proper num_exentries for each
subprogram before calling JIT.

commit bb0de3131f4c60a9bf976681e0fe4d1e55c7a821 upstream.

The sockmap code currently ignores the value of attach_bpf_fd when
detaching a program. This is contrary to the usual behaviour of
checking that attach_bpf_fd represents the currently attached
program.

Ensure that attach_bpf_fd is indeed the currently attached
program. It turns out that all sockmap selftests already do this,
which indicates that this is unlikely to cause breakage.

<title>genirq/affinity: Handle affinity setting on inactive interrupts correctly</title>

<content type='text'>
commit baedb87d1b53532f81b4bd0387f83b05d4f7eb9a upstream.

Setting interrupt affinity on inactive interrupts is inconsistent when
hierarchical irq domains are enabled. The core code should just store the
affinity and not call into the irq chip driver for inactive interrupts
because the chip drivers may not be in a state to handle such requests.

X86 has a hacky workaround for that but all other irq chips have not which
causes problems e.g. on GIC V3 ITS.

Instead of adding more ugly hacks all over the place, solve the problem in
the core code. If the affinity is set on an inactive interrupt then:

    - Store it in the irq descriptors affinity mask
    - Update the effective affinity to reflect that so user space has
      a consistent view
    - Don't call into the irq chip driver

This is the core equivalent of the X86 workaround and works correctly
because the affinity setting is established in the irq chip when the
interrupt is activated later on.

Note, that this is only effective when hierarchical irq domains are enabled
by the architecture. Doing it unconditionally would break legacy irq chip
implementations.

For hierarchial irq domains this works correctly as none of the drivers can
have a dependency on affinity setting in inactive state by design.

Remove the X86 workaround as it is not longer required.

commit baedb87d1b53532f81b4bd0387f83b05d4f7eb9a upstream.

Setting interrupt affinity on inactive interrupts is inconsistent when
hierarchical irq domains are enabled. The core code should just store the
affinity and not call into the irq chip driver for inactive interrupts
because the chip drivers may not be in a state to handle such requests.

X86 has a hacky workaround for that but all other irq chips have not which
causes problems e.g. on GIC V3 ITS.

the core code. If the affinity is set on an inactive interrupt then:

    - Store it in the irq descriptors affinity mask

<title>sched/fair: handle case of task_h_load() returning 0</title>

commit 01cfcde9c26d8555f0e6e9aea9d6049f87683998 upstream.

task_h_load() can return 0 in some situations like running stress-ng
mmapfork, which forks thousands of threads, in a sched group on a 224 cores
system. The load balance doesn't handle this correctly because
env-&gt;imbalance never decreases and it will stop pulling tasks only after
reaching loop_max, which can be equal to the number of running tasks of
the cfs. Make sure that imbalance will be decreased by at least 1.

misfit task is the other feature that doesn't handle correctly such
situation although it's probably more difficult to face the problem
because of the smaller number of CPUs and running tasks on heterogenous
system.

We can't simply ensure that task_h_load() returns at least one because it
would imply to handle underflow in other places.

<title>sched: Fix unreliable rseq cpu_id for new tasks</title>

commit ce3614daabea8a2d01c1dd17ae41d1ec5e5ae7db upstream.

While integrating rseq into glibc and replacing glibc's sched_getcpu
implementation with rseq, glibc's tests discovered an issue with
incorrect __rseq_abi.cpu_id field value right after the first time
a newly created process issues sched_setaffinity.

For the records, it triggers after building glibc and running tests, and
then issuing:

  for x in {1..2000} ; do posix/tst-affinity-static  &amp; done

and shows up as:

error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 2, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0
error: Unexpected CPU 138, expected 0

This is caused by the scheduler invoking __set_task_cpu() directly from
sched_fork() and wake_up_new_task(), thus bypassing rseq_migrate() which
is done by set_task_cpu().

Add the missing rseq_migrate() to both functions. The only other direct
use of __set_task_cpu() is done by init_idle(), which does not involve a
user-space task.

Based on my testing with the glibc test-case, just adding rseq_migrate()
to wake_up_new_task() is sufficient to fix the observed issue. Also add
it to sched_fork() to keep things consistent.

The reason why this never triggered so far with the rseq/basic_test
selftest is unclear.

The current use of sched_getcpu(3) does not typically require it to be
always accurate. However, use of the __rseq_abi.cpu_id field within rseq
critical sections requires it to be accurate. If it is not accurate, it
can cause corruption in the per-cpu data targeted by rseq critical
sections in user-space.
