[ Upstream commit 4f8d7abaa413c34da9d751289849dbfb7c977d05 ]

This might matter, for example, if the underlying type of enum xz_check
was a signed char. In such a case the validation wouldn't have caught an
unsupported header. I don't know if this problem can occur in the kernel
on any arch but it's still good to fix it because some people might copy
the XZ code to their own projects from Linux instead of the upstream
XZ Embedded repository.

This change may increase the code size by a few bytes. An alternative
would have been to use an unsigned int instead of enum xz_check but
using an enumeration looks cleaner.

<title>lib/xz: Avoid overlapping memcpy() with invalid input with in-place decompression</title>

[ Upstream commit 83d3c4f22a36d005b55f44628f46cc0d319a75e8 ]

With valid files, the safety margin described in lib/decompress_unxz.c
ensures that these buffers cannot overlap. But if the uncompressed size
of the input is larger than the caller thought, which is possible when
the input file is invalid/corrupt, the buffers can overlap. Obviously
the result will then be garbage (and usually the decoder will return
an error too) but no other harm will happen when such an over-run occurs.

This change only affects uncompressed LZMA2 chunks and so this
should have no effect on performance.

[ Upstream commit 814a66741b9ffb5e1ba119e368b178edb0b7322d ]

Both iov_iter_get_pages and iov_iter_get_pages_alloc return the number
of bytes of the iovec they could get the pages for.  When they cannot
get any pages, they're supposed to return 0, but when the start of the
iovec isn't page aligned, the calculation goes wrong and they return a
negative value.  Fix both functions.

In addition, change iov_iter_get_pages_alloc to return NULL in that case
to prevent resource leaks.

new config HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR, which selects the non-existing config
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Hence, ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py warns:

Simply drop selecting the non-existing HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

[ Upstream commit 2b7e9f25e590726cca76700ebdb10e92a7a72ca1 ]

Each test case can have a set of sub-tests, where each sub-test can
run the cBPF/eBPF test snippet with its own data_size and expected
result. Before, the end of the sub-test array was indicated by both
data_size and result being zero. However, most or all of the internal
eBPF tests has a data_size of zero already. When such a test also had
an expected value of zero, the test was never run but reported as
PASS anyway.

Now the test runner always runs the first sub-test, regardless of the
data_size and result values. The sub-test array zero-termination only
applies for any additional sub-tests.

There are other ways fix it of course, but this solution at least
removes the surprise of eBPF tests with a zero result always succeeding.

[ Upstream commit b6f756726e4dfe75be1883f6a0202dcecdc801ab ]

We should set the additional space to 0 in mpi_resize().
So use kcalloc() instead of kmalloc_array().

In lib/mpi/ec.c:
/****************
 * Resize the array of A to NLIMBS. the additional space is cleared
 * (set to 0) [done by m_realloc()]
 */
int mpi_resize(MPI a, unsigned nlimbs)

Like the comment of kernel's mpi_resize() said, the additional space
need to be set to 0, but when a-&gt;d is not NULL, it does not set.

The kernel's mpi lib is from libgcrypt, the mpi resize in libgcrypt
is _gcry_mpi_resize() which set the additional space to 0.

This bug may cause mpi api which use mpi_resize() get wrong result
under the condition of using the additional space without initiation.
If this condition is not met, the bug would not be triggered.
Currently in kernel, rsa, sm2 and dh use mpi lib, and they works well,
so the bug is not triggered in these cases.

add_points_edwards() use the additional space directly, so it will
get a wrong result.

DO_ONCE
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(___once_key);

  once_disable_jump(once_key);
    INIT_WORK(&amp;w-&gt;work, once_deferred);
    struct once_work *w;

process_one_work
  once_deferred
    BUG_ON(!static_key_enabled(work-&gt;key));
       static_key_count((struct static_key *)x)    //*access key, crash*

When module uses DO_ONCE mechanism, it could crash due to the above
concurrency problem, we could reproduce it with link[1].

Fix it by add/put module refcount in the once work process.

When module uses DO_ONCE mechanism, it could crash due to the above
concurrency problem, we could reproduce it with link[1].

Fix it by add/put module refcount in the once work process.

[ Upstream commit 2c484419efc09e7234c667aa72698cb79ba8d8ed ]

lz4 compatible decompressor is simple.  The format is underspecified and
relies on EOF notification to determine when to stop.  Initramfs buffer
format[1] explicitly states that it can have arbitrary number of zero
padding.  Thus when operating without a fill function, be extra careful to
ensure that sizes less than 4, or apperantly empty chunksizes are treated
as EOF.

To test this I have created two cpio initrds, first a normal one,
main.cpio.  And second one with just a single /test-file with content
"second" second.cpio.  Then i compressed both of them with gzip, and with
lz4 -l.  Then I created a padding of 4 bytes (dd if=/dev/zero of=pad4 bs=1
count=4).  To create four testcase initrds:

 1) main.cpio.gzip + extra.cpio.gzip = pad0.gzip
 2) main.cpio.lz4  + extra.cpio.lz4 = pad0.lz4
 3) main.cpio.gzip + pad4 + extra.cpio.gzip = pad4.gzip
 4) main.cpio.lz4  + pad4 + extra.cpio.lz4 = pad4.lz4

The pad4 test-cases replicate the initrd load by grub, as it pads and
aligns every initrd it loads.

All of the above boot, however /test-file was not accessible in the initrd
for the testcase #4, as decoding in lz4 decompressor failed.  Also an
error message printed which usually is harmless.

Whith a patched kernel, all of the above testcases now pass, and
/test-file is accessible.

This fixes lz4 initrd decompress warning on every boot with grub.  And
more importantly this fixes inability to load multiple lz4 compressed
initrds with grub.  This patch has been shipping in Ubuntu kernels since
January 2021.
