[ Upstream commit 3942bb49728ad9e1f94d953a88af169a8f5d8099 ]
Almost two thirds of the memchr_inv() usages check if the memory area is
all zeros, with no interest in where in the buffer the first non-zero
byte is located. Checking for !memchr_inv(s, 0, n) is also not very
intuitive or discoverable. Add an explicit mem_is_zero() helper for this
use case.

[ Upstream commit 0898a817621a2f0cddca8122d9b974003fe5036d ]
The cdrom core never calls set_disk_ro() for a registered device, so
BLKROGET on a CD-ROM device always returns 0 (writable), even when the
drive has no write capabilities and writes will inevitably fail. This
causes problems for userspace that relies on BLKROGET to determine
whether a block device is read-only. For example, systemd's loop device
setup uses BLKROGET to decide whether to create a loop device with
LO_FLAGS_READ_ONLY. Without the read-only flag, writes pass through the
loop device to the CD-ROM and fail with I/O errors. systemd-fsck
similarly checks BLKROGET to decide whether to run fsck in no-repair
mode (-n).
The write-capability bits in cdi->mask come from two different sources:
CDC_DVD_RAM and CDC_CD_RW are populated by the driver from the MODE
SENSE capabilities page (page 0x2A) before register_cdrom() is called,
while CDC_MRW_W and CDC_RAM require the MMC GET CONFIGURATION command
and were only probed by cdrom_open_write() at device open time. This
meant that any attempt to compute the writable state from the full
mask at probe time was incorrect, because the GET CONFIGURATION bits
were still unset (and cdi->mask is initialized such that capabilities
are assumed present).
Fix this by factoring the GET CONFIGURATION probing out of
cdrom_open_write() into a new exported helper,
cdrom_probe_write_features(), and having sr call it from sr_probe()
right after get_capabilities() has populated the MODE SENSE bits.
register_cdrom() then calls set_disk_ro() based on the full
write-capability mask (CDC_DVD_RAM | CDC_MRW_W | CDC_RAM | CDC_CD_RW)
so the block layer reflects the drive's actual write support. The
feature queries used (CDF_MRW and CDF_RWRT via GET CONFIGURATION with
RT=00) report drive-level capabilities that are persistent across
media, so a single probe before register_cdrom() is sufficient and the
redundant probe at open time is dropped.
With set_disk_ro() now accurate, the long-vestigial cd->writeable flag
in sr can go: get_capabilities() used to set cd->writeable based on
the same four mask bits, but because CDC_MRW_W and CDC_RAM default to
"capability present" in cdi->mask and aren't touched by MODE SENSE,
the condition that gated cd->writeable was always true, making it
unconditionally 1. Replace the corresponding gate in sr_init_command()
with get_disk_ro(cd->disk), which turns a previously no-op check into
a real one and also catches kernel-internal bio writers that bypass
blkdev_write_iter()'s bdev_read_only() check.
The sd driver (SCSI disks) does not have this problem because it
checks the MODE SENSE Write Protect bit and calls set_disk_ro()
accordingly. The sr driver cannot use the same approach because the
MMC specification does not define the WP bit in the MODE SENSE
device-specific parameter byte for CD-ROM devices.

Introduce a bitfield to allow the drivers to announce the available
features for an RTC.
The main use case would be to better handle alarms, that could be present
or not or have a minute resolution or may need a correct week day to be set.
Use the newly introduced RTC_FEATURE_ALARM bit to then test whether alarms
are available instead of relying on the presence of ops->set_alarm.

[ Upstream commit cc1ff87bce1ccd38410ab10960f576dcd17db679 ]
RFC 2516 Section 7 states that Protocol Field Compression (PFC) is NOT
RECOMMENDED for PPPoE. In practice, pppd does not support negotiating
PFC for PPPoE sessions, and the current PPPoE driver assumes an
uncompressed (2-byte) protocol field. However, the generic PPP layer
function ppp_input() is not aware of the negotiation result, and still
accepts PFC frames.
If a peer with a broken implementation or an attacker sends a frame with
a compressed (1-byte) protocol field, the subsequent PPP payload is
shifted by one byte. This causes the network header to be 4-byte
misaligned, which may trigger unaligned access exceptions on some
architectures.
To reduce the attack surface, drop PPPoE PFC frames. Introduce
ppp_skb_is_compressed_proto() helper function to be used in both
ppp_generic.c and pppoe.c to avoid open-coding.

[ Upstream commit a2225b6e834a838ae3c93709760edc0a169eb2f2 ]
The moment we link a "struct device" into the list of devices for the
bus, it's possible probe can happen. This is because another thread
can load the driver at any time and that can cause the device to
probe. This has been seen in practice with a stack crawl that looks
like this [1]:
really_probe()
__driver_probe_device()
driver_probe_device()
__driver_attach()
bus_for_each_dev()
driver_attach()
bus_add_driver()
driver_register()
__platform_driver_register()
init_module() [some module]
do_one_initcall()
do_init_module()
load_module()
__arm64_sys_finit_module()
invoke_syscall()
As a result of the above, it was seen that device_links_driver_bound()
could be called for the device before "dev->fwnode->dev" was
assigned. This prevented __fw_devlink_pickup_dangling_consumers() from
being called which meant that other devices waiting on our driver's
sub-nodes were stuck deferring forever.
It's believed that this problem is showing up suddenly for two
reasons:
1. Android has recently (last ~1 year) implemented an optimization to
the order it loads modules [2]. When devices opt-in to this faster
loading, modules are loaded one-after-the-other very quickly. This
is unlike how other distributions do it. The reproduction of this
problem has only been seen on devices that opt-in to Android's
"parallel module loading".
2. Android devices typically opt-in to fw_devlink, and the most
noticeable issue is the NULL "dev->fwnode->dev" in
device_links_driver_bound(). fw_devlink is somewhat new code and
also not in use by all Linux devices.
Even though the specific symptom where "dev->fwnode->dev" wasn't
assigned could be fixed by moving that assignment higher in
device_add(), other parts of device_add() (like the call to
device_pm_add()) are also important to run before probe. Only moving
the "dev->fwnode->dev" assignment would likely fix the current
symptoms but lead to difficult-to-debug problems in the future.
Fix the problem by preventing probe until device_add() has run far
enough that the device is ready to probe. If somehow we end up trying
to probe before we're allowed, __driver_probe_device() will return
-EPROBE_DEFER which will make certain the device is noticed.
In the race condition that was seen with Android's faster module
loading, we will temporarily add the device to the deferred list and
then take it off immediately when device_add() probes the device.
Instead of adding another flag to the bitfields already in "struct
device", instead add a new "flags" field and use that. This allows us
to freely change the bit from different thread without worrying about
corrupting nearby bits (and means threads changing other bit won't
corrupt us).

[ Upstream commit 71203f68c7749609d7fc8ae6ad054bdedeb24f91 ]
There is a race condition/UAF in padata_reorder that goes back
to the initial commit. A reference count is taken at the start
of the process in padata_do_parallel, and released at the end in
padata_serial_worker.
This reference count is (and only is) required for padata_replace
to function correctly. If padata_replace is never called then
there is no issue.
In the function padata_reorder which serves as the core of padata,
as soon as padata is added to queue->serial.list, and the associated
spin lock released, that padata may be processed and the reference
count on pd would go away.
Fix this by getting the next padata before the squeue->serial lock
is released.
In order to make this possible, simplify padata_reorder by only
calling it once the next padata arrives.

commit 25e531b422dc2ac90cdae3b6e74b5cdeb081440d upstream.
xHCI hardware maintains its endpoint state between add_endpoint()
and drop_endpoint() calls followed by successful check_bandwidth().
So does the driver.
Core may call endpoint_disable() during xHCI endpoint life, so don't
clear host_ep->hcpriv then, because this breaks endpoint_reset().
If a driver calls usb_set_interface(), submits URBs which make host
sequence state non-zero and calls usb_clear_halt(), the device clears
its sequence state but xhci_endpoint_reset() bails out. The next URB
malfunctions: USB2 loses one packet, USB3 gets Transaction Error or
may not complete at all on some (buggy?) HCs from ASMedia and AMD.
This is triggered by uvcvideo on bulk video devices.
The code was copied from ehci_endpoint_disable() but it isn't needed
here - hcpriv should only be NULL on emulated root hub endpoints.
It might prevent resetting and inadvertently enabling a disabled and
dropped endpoint, but core shouldn't try to reset dropped endpoints.
Document xhci requirements regarding hcpriv. They are currently met.

"hangs", the probed ./test task enters an endless loop.
The problem is that with randomize_va_space == 0
get_unmapped_area(TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) called by xol_add_vma() can not
just return the "addr == TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE" hint, this addr is used
by the stack vma.
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() doesn't take TIF_ADDR32 into account and
in_32bit_syscall() is false, this leads to info.high_limit > TASK_SIZE.
vm_unmapped_area() happily returns the high address > TASK_SIZE and then
get_unmapped_area() returns -ENOMEM after the "if (addr > TASK_SIZE - len)"
check.
handle_swbp() doesn't report this failure (probably it should) and silently
restarts the probed insn. Endless loop.
I think that the right fix should change the x86 get_unmapped_area() paths
to rely on TIF_ADDR32 rather than in_32bit_syscall(). Note also that if
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI=y, in_x32_syscall() falsely returns true in this case
because ->orig_ax = -1.
But we need a simple fix for -stable, so this patch just sets TS_COMPAT if
the probed task is 32-bit to make in_ia32_syscall() true.

commit 0b16e69d17d8c35c5c9d5918bf596c75a44655d3 upstream.
When exiting to userspace to service an emulated MMIO write, copy the
to-be-written value to a scratch field in the MMIO fragment if the size
of the data payload is 8 bytes or less, i.e. can fit in a single chunk,
instead of pointing the fragment directly at the source value.
This fixes a class of use-after-free bugs that occur when the emulator
initiates a write using an on-stack, local variable as the source, the
write splits a page boundary, *and* both pages are MMIO pages. Because
KVM's ABI only allows for physically contiguous MMIO requests, accesses
that split MMIO pages are separated into two fragments, and are sent to
userspace one at a time. When KVM attempts to complete userspace MMIO in
response to KVM_RUN after the first fragment, KVM will detect the second
fragment and generate a second userspace exit, and reference the on-stack
variable.
The issue is most visible if the second KVM_RUN is performed by a separate
task, in which case the stack of the initiating task can show up as truly
freed data.

==================================================================
The bug can also be reproduced with a targeted KVM-Unit-Test by hacking
KVM to fill a large on-stack variable in complete_emulated_mmio(), i.e. by
overwrite the data value with garbage.
Limit the use of the scratch fields to 8-byte or smaller accesses, and to
just writes, as larger accesses and reads are not affected thanks to
implementation details in the emulator, but add a sanity check to ensure
those details don't change in the future. Specifically, KVM never uses
on-stack variables for accesses larger that 8 bytes, e.g. uses an operand
in the emulator context, and *all* reads are buffered through the mem_read
cache.
Note! Using the scratch field for reads is not only unnecessary, it's
also extremely difficult to handle correctly. As above, KVM buffers all
reads through the mem_read cache, and heavily relies on that behavior when
re-emulating the instruction after a userspace MMIO read exit. If a read
splits a page, the first page is NOT an MMIO page, and the second page IS
an MMIO page, then the MMIO fragment needs to point at _just_ the second
chunk of the destination, i.e. its position in the mem_read cache. Taking
the "obvious" approach of copying the fragment value into the destination
when re-emulating the instruction would clobber the first chunk of the
destination, i.e. would clobber the data that was read from guest memory.

commit 31e62c2ebbfdc3fe3dbdf5e02c92a9dc67087a3a upstream.
The 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of
the task - the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and
makes no sense when you don't have an associated mm.
And almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task
has a mm pointer.
But we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to
check various other things entirely independently of the MM (typically
explicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS). Including for
threads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel
threads).
It's not what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is.
The ptrace code does check that the uid/gid matches, so you do have to
be uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the
traditional "drop capabilities" model doesn't make any difference for
this all.
Make it all make a *bit* more sense by saying that if you don't have a
MM pointer, we'll use a cached "last dumpability" flag if the thread
ever had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never
set), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability to override.

[ Upstream commit 002752af7b89b74c64fe6bec8c5fde3d3a7810d8 ]
Some of the fwnode APIs might return an error pointer instead of NULL
or valid fwnode handle. The result of such API call may be considered
optional and hence the test for it is usually done in a form of
fwnode = fwnode_find_reference(...);
if (IS_ERR(fwnode))
...error handling...
Nevertheless the resulting fwnode may have bumped the reference count
and hence caller of the above API is obliged to call fwnode_handle_put().
Since fwnode may be not valid either as NULL or error pointer the check
has to be performed there. This approach uglifies the code and adds
a point of making a mistake, i.e. forgetting about error point case.
To prevent this, allow an error pointer to be passed to the fwnode APIs.

[ Upstream commit 4c5e7f0fcd592801c9cc18f29f80fbee84eb8669 ]
On arm64 server, we found folio that get from migration entry isn't locked
in softleaf_to_folio(). This issue triggers when mTHP splitting and
zap_nonpresent_ptes() races, and the root cause is lack of memory barrier
in softleaf_to_folio(). The race is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
deferred_split_scan() zap_nonpresent_ptes()
lock folio
split_folio()
unmap_folio()
change ptes to migration entries
__split_folio_to_order() softleaf_to_folio()
set flags(including PG_locked) for tail pages folio = pfn_folio(softleaf_to_pfn(entry))
smp_wmb() VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_locked(folio))
prep_compound_page() for tail pages
In __split_folio_to_order(), smp_wmb() guarantees page flags of tail pages
are visible before the tail page becomes non-compound. smp_wmb() should
be paired with smp_rmb() in softleaf_to_folio(), which is missed. As a
result, if zap_nonpresent_ptes() accesses migration entry that stores tail
pfn, softleaf_to_folio() may see the updated compound_head of tail page
before page->flags.
This issue will trigger VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in pfn_swap_entry_folio()
because of the race between folio split and zap_nonpresent_ptes()
leading to a folio incorrectly undergoing modification without a folio
lock being held.
This is a BUG_ON() before commit 93976a20345b ("mm: eliminate further
swapops predicates"), which in merged in v6.19-rc1.
To fix it, add missing smp_rmb() if the softleaf entry is migration entry
in softleaf_to_folio() and softleaf_to_page().

mmu_gather
commit 8ce720d5bd91e9dc16db3604aa4b1bf76770a9a1 upstream.
As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix
huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations
where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page
tables that it severely regresses some workloads.
In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large
area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per
unshared PMD table.
There are two optimizations to be had:
(1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during
exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as
we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table.
Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before
we drop the lock.
(2) When we are not the last sharer (> 2 users including us), there is
no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot
become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted
by the last sharer.
Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we
unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the
shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed
an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just
sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs.
Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are
no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI
broadcast.
(if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast
after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle
this)
So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather
infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the
code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to
deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation.
To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single
VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide
tlb_gather_mmu_vma().
We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in
tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track
in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables.
Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be
prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead
require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables().
>From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure
that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is
still held.
Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that
tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier.
Document it all properly.
Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing:
There are two fairly tricky things:
(1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.
Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an
IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only
send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb->freed_tables is set.
The relevant architectures should be selecting
MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable
kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch.
Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different
when tlb->freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also
take care of tlb->unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so
hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting
tlb->freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush
too much, because the semantics of tlb->freed_tables are a bit
fuzzy.
This patch changes nothing in this regard.
(2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync.
Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB)
we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the
second tlb_remove_table_sync_one().
This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in
tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as
described in (1), it really must honor tlb->freed_tables then to
send IPIs to all relevant CPUs.
Notes on TLB flushing changes:
(1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables
We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to
tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the
MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to
__unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine.
(2) Flushing for shared PMD tables
We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(),
tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range().
tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that
tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios.
Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls
__tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on
powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing.
Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB
flushing keeps on working as expected.
Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a
concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing
concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed
separately as a cleanup later.
There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until
this is fixed.

commit ca1a47cd3f5f4c46ca188b1c9a27af87d1ab2216 upstream.
Patch series "mm/hugetlb: fixes for PMD table sharing (incl. using
mmu_gather)", v3.
One functional fix, one performance regression fix, and two related
comment fixes.
I cleaned up my prototype I recently shared [1] for the performance fix,
deferring most of the cleanups I had in the prototype to a later point.
While doing that I identified the other things.
The goal of this patch set is to be backported to stable trees "fairly"
easily. At least patch #1 and #4.
Patch #1 fixes hugetlb_pmd_shared() not detecting any sharing
Patch #2 + #3 are simple comment fixes that patch #4 interacts with.
