commit 640a604585aa30f93e39b17d4d6ba69fcb1e66c9 upstream.

The following warning was reported when running stress-mode enabled
xdp_redirect_cpu with some RT threads:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 65 at kernel/bpf/cpumap.c:135
  CPU: 4 PID: 65 Comm: kworker/4:1 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc2+ #1

   &lt;/TASK&gt;

The root cause is the same as commit 436901649731 ("bpf: cpumap: Fix memory
leak in cpu_map_update_elem"). The kthread is stopped prematurely by
kthread_stop() in cpu_map_kthread_stop(), and kthread() doesn't call
cpu_map_kthread_run() at all but XDP program has already queued some
frames or skbs into ptr_ring. So when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() checks
the ptr_ring, it will find it was not emptied and report a warning.

An alternative fix is to use __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() to drop these
pending frames or skbs when kthread_stop() returns -EINTR, but it may
confuse the user, because these frames or skbs have been handled
correctly by XDP program. So instead of dropping these frames or skbs,
just make sure the per-cpu kthread is running before
__cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns.

After apply the fix, the error handle for kthread_stop() will be
unnecessary because it will always return 0, so just remove it.

commit d62cc390c2e99ae267ffe4b8d7e2e08b6c758c32 upstream.

We received report [1] of kernel crash, which is caused by
using nesting protection without disabled preemption.

The bpf_event_output can be called by programs executed by
bpf_prog_run_array_cg function that disabled migration but
keeps preemption enabled.

This can cause task to be preempted by another one inside the
nesting protection and lead eventually to two tasks using same
perf_sample_data buffer and cause crashes like:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000001

commit f2c67a3e60d1071b65848efaa8c3b66c363dd025 upstream.

The nesting protection in bpf_perf_event_output relies on disabled
preemption, which is guaranteed for kprobes and tracepoints.

However bpf_perf_event_output can be also called from uprobes context
through bpf_prog_run_array_sleepable function which disables migration,
but keeps preemption enabled.

This can cause task to be preempted by another one inside the nesting
protection and lead eventually to two tasks using same perf_sample_data
buffer and cause crashes like:

  kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff82be3eea

[ Upstream commit 7c62b75cd1a792e14b037fa4f61f9b18914e7de1 ]

The following warning was reported when running xdp_redirect_cpu with
both skb-mode and stress-mode enabled:

The reason for the warning is twofold. One is due to the kthread
cpu_map_kthread_run() is stopped prematurely. Another one is
__cpu_map_ring_cleanup() doesn't handle skb mode and treats skbs in
ptr_ring as XDP frames.

Prematurely-stopped kthread will be fixed by the preceding patch and
ptr_ring will be empty when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() is called. But
as the comments in __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() said, handling and freeing
skbs in ptr_ring as well to "catch any broken behaviour gracefully".

commit 1af6239d1d3e61d33fd2f0ba53d3d1a67cc50574 upstream.

With the advent of CFI it is no longer acceptible to cast function
pointers.

The robot complains thusly:

  kernel-events-core.c:warning:cast-from-int-(-)(struct-perf_cpu_pmu_context-)-to-remote_function_f-(aka-int-(-)(void-)-)-converts-to-incompatible-function-type

commit af80602799681c78f14fbe20b6185a56020dedee upstream.

In order to allow using mm_alloc() much earlier, move initializing
mm_cachep into mm_init().

commit 3f4c8211d982099be693be9aa7d6fc4607dff290 upstream.

Instead of duplicating init_mm, allocate a fresh mm. The advantage is
that mm_alloc() has much simpler dependencies. Additionally it makes
more conceptual sense, init_mm has no (and must not have) user state
to duplicate.

commit 9971c3f944489ff7aacb9d25e0cde841a5f6018a upstream.

The test to check if the field is a stack is to be done if it is not a
string. But the code had:

    } if (event-&gt;fields[i]-&gt;is_stack) {

and not

   } else if (event-&gt;fields[i]-&gt;is_stack) {

which would cause it to always be tested. Worse yet, this also included an
"else" statement that was only to be called if the field was not a string
and a stack, but this code allows it to be called if it was a string (and
not a stack).

Also fixed some whitespace issues.

<title>locking/rtmutex: Fix task-&gt;pi_waiters integrity</title>

[ Upstream commit f7853c34241807bb97673a5e97719123be39a09e ]

Henry reported that rt_mutex_adjust_prio_check() has an ordering
problem and puts the lie to the comment in [7]. Sharing the sort key
between lock-&gt;waiters and owner-&gt;pi_waiters *does* create problems,
since unlike what the comment claims, holding [L] is insufficient.

Notably, consider:

	A
      /   \
     M1   M2
     |     |
     B     C

That is, task A owns both M1 and M2, B and C block on them. In this
case a concurrent chain walk (B &amp; C) will modify their resp. sort keys
in [7] while holding M1-&gt;wait_lock and M2-&gt;wait_lock. So holding [L]
is meaningless, they're different Ls.

This then gives rise to a race condition between [7] and [11], where
the requeue of pi_waiters will observe an inconsistent tree order.

	B				C

  (holds M1-&gt;wait_lock,		(holds M2-&gt;wait_lock,
   holds B-&gt;pi_lock)		 holds A-&gt;pi_lock)

  [7]
  waiter_update_prio();
  ...
  [8]
  raw_spin_unlock(B-&gt;pi_lock);
  ...
  [10]
  raw_spin_lock(A-&gt;pi_lock);

				[11]
				rt_mutex_enqueue_pi();
				// observes inconsistent A-&gt;pi_waiters
				// tree order

Fixing this means either extending the range of the owner lock from
[10-13] to [6-13], with the immediate problem that this means [6-8]
hold both blocked and owner locks, or duplicating the sort key.

Since the locking in chain walk is horrible enough without having to
consider pi_lock nesting rules, duplicate the sort key instead.

By giving each tree their own sort key, the above race becomes
harmless, if C sees B at the old location, then B will correct things
(if they need correcting) when it walks up the chain and reaches A.

[ Upstream commit dea499781a1150d285c62b26659f62fb00824fce ]

Warning happened in trace_buffered_event_disable() at
  WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)

  Call Trace:
   ? __warn+0xa5/0x1b0
   ? trace_buffered_event_disable+0x189/0x1b0

   ftrace_filter_write+0xe6/0x140
   vfs_write+0x1c9/0x6f0
   [...]

The cause of the warning is in __ftrace_event_enable_disable(),
trace_buffered_event_enable() was called once while
trace_buffered_event_disable() was called twice.
Reproduction script show as below, for analysis, see the comments:
 ```
 #!/bin/bash

 cd /sys/kernel/tracing/

 # 1. Register a 'disable_event' command, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was set;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_enable() was called first time;
 echo 'cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' &gt; \
     set_ftrace_filter

 # 2. Enable the event registered, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called first time;
 echo 1 &gt; events/initcall/initcall_finish/enable

 # 3. Try to call into cmdline_proc_show(), then SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was
 #    set again!!!
 cat /proc/cmdline

 # 4. Unregister the 'disable_event' command, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared again;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called second time!!!
 echo '!cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' &gt; \
     set_ftrace_filter
 ```

To fix it, IIUC, we can change to call trace_buffered_event_enable() at
fist time soft-mode enabled, and call trace_buffered_event_disable() at
last time soft-mode disabled.
