commit dcd46d897adb70d63e025f175a00a89797d31a43 upstream.

Quoting[1] Ariadne Conill:

"In several other operating systems, it is a hard requirement that the
second argument to execve(2) be the name of a program, thus prohibiting
a scenario where argc &lt; 1. POSIX 2017 also recommends this behaviour,
but it is not an explicit requirement[2]:

    The argument arg0 should point to a filename string that is
    associated with the process being started by one of the exec
    functions.
...
Interestingly, Michael Kerrisk opened an issue about this in 2008[3],
but there was no consensus to support fixing this issue then.
Hopefully now that CVE-2021-4034 shows practical exploitative use[4]
of this bug in a shellcode, we can reconsider.

This issue is being tracked in the KSPP issue tracker[5]."

While the initial code searches[6][7] turned up what appeared to be
mostly corner case tests, trying to that just reject argv == NULL
(or an immediately terminated pointer list) quickly started tripping[8]
existing userspace programs.

The next best approach is forcing a single empty string into argv and
adjusting argc to match. The number of programs depending on argc == 0
seems a smaller set than those calling execve with a NULL argv.

Account for the additional stack space in bprm_stack_limits(). Inject an
empty string when argc == 0 (and set argc = 1). Warn about the case so
userspace has some notice about the change:

    process './argc0' launched './argc0' with NULL argv: empty string added

Additionally WARN() and reject NULL argv usage for kernel threads.

commit 905ae01c4ae2ae3df05bb141801b1db4b7d83c61 upstream.

This commit should not have been applied to the 5.10.y stable tree, so
revert it.

[ Upstream commit 905ae01c4ae2ae3df05bb141801b1db4b7d83c61 ]

For RLIMIT_NPROC and some other rlimits the user_struct that holds the
global limit is kept alive for the lifetime of a process by keeping it
in struct cred. Adding a pointer to ucounts in the struct cred will
allow to track RLIMIT_NPROC not only for user in the system, but for
user in the user_namespace.

Updating ucounts may require memory allocation which may fail. So, we
cannot change cred.ucounts in the commit_creds() because this function
cannot fail and it should always return 0. For this reason, we modify
cred.ucounts before calling the commit_creds().

Changelog

v6:
* Fix null-ptr-deref in is_ucounts_overlimit() detected by trinity. This
  error was caused by the fact that cred_alloc_blank() left the ucounts
  pointer empty.

<title>exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore</title>

[ Upstream commit f7cfd871ae0c5008d94b6f66834e7845caa93c15 ]

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users
of exec_update_mutex.  The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep
was:

   perf_event_open  (exec_update_mutex -&gt; ovl_i_mutex)
   chown            (ovl_i_mutex       -&gt; sb_writes)
   sendfile         (sb_writes         -&gt; p-&gt;lock)
     by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs
   proc_pid_syscall (p-&gt;lock           -&gt; exec_update_mutex)

While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the
users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given
process to remain the same.  They are all readers.  The only writer is
exec.

There is no reason for readers to block on each other.  So fix
this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore
named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A series from Nick adding ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM &amp; selecting
   it for powerpc, as well as a related fix for sparc.

 - Remove support for PowerPC 601.

 - Some fixes for watchpoints &amp; addition of a new ptrace flag for
   detecting ISA v3.1 (Power10) watchpoint features.

 - A fix for kernels using 4K pages and the hash MMU on bare metal
   Power9 systems with &gt; 16TB of RAM, or RAM on the 2nd node.

 - A basic idle driver for shallow stop states on Power10.

 - Tweaks to our sched domains code to better inform the scheduler about
   the hardware topology on Power9/10, where two SMT4 cores can be
   presented by firmware as an SMT8 core.

 - A series doing further reworks &amp; cleanups of our EEH code.

 - Addition of a filter for RTAS (firmware) calls done via sys_rtas(),
   to prevent root from overwriting kernel memory.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

include file. That header gets pulled in just about everywhere
and doesn't really need functions not related to the general fs interface.

<content type='text'>
Grab actual references to the files_struct. To avoid circular references
issues due to this, we add a per-task note that keeps track of what
io_uring contexts a task has used. When the tasks execs or exits its
assigned files, we cancel requests based on this tracking.

With that, we can grab proper references to the files table, and no
longer need to rely on stashing away ring_fd and ring_file to check
if the ring_fd may have been closed.
