commit 356e4bfff2c5489e016fdb925adbf12a1e3950ee upstream

For certain use cases it is desired to enforce mitigations so they cannot
be undone afterwards. That's important for loader stubs which want to
prevent a child from disabling the mitigation again. Will also be used for
seccomp(). The extra state preserving of the prctl state for SSB is a
preparatory step for EBPF dymanic speculation control.

[ Upstream commit a0b0d1c345d0317efe594df268feb5ccc99f651e ]

proc_sys_link_fill_cache() does not take currently unregistering sysctl
tables into account, which might result into a page fault in
sysctl_follow_link() - add a check to fix it.

This bug has been present since v3.4.

[ Upstream commit ac7f1061c2c11bb8936b1b6a94cdb48de732f7a4 ]

Current code does:

	if (sscanf(dentry-&gt;d_name.name, "%lx-%lx", start, end) != 2)

However sscanf() is broken garbage.

It silently accepts whitespace between format specifiers
(did you know that?).

It silently accepts valid strings which result in integer overflow.

Do not use sscanf() for any even remotely reliable parsing code.

<title>procfs: fix pthread cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 1b3044e39a89cb1d4d5313da477e8dfea2b5232d upstream.

The PR_DUMPABLE flag causes the pid related paths of the proc file
system to be owned by ROOT.

The implementation of pthread_set/getname_np however needs access to
/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/task/&lt;tid&gt;/comm.  If PR_DUMPABLE is false this
implementation is locked out.

This patch installs a special permission function for the file "comm"
that grants read and write access to all threads of the same group
regardless of the ownership of the inode.  For all other threads the
function falls back to the generic inode permission check.

commit 84ad5802a33a4964a49b8f7d24d80a214a096b19 upstream.

The MemAvailable item in /proc/meminfo is to give users a hint of how
much memory is allocatable without causing swapping, so it excludes the
zones' low watermarks as unavailable to userspace.

However, for a userspace allocation, kswapd will actually reclaim until
the free pages hit a combination of the high watermark and the page
allocator's lowmem protection that keeps a certain amount of DMA and
DMA32 memory from userspace as well.

Subtract the full amount we know to be unavailable to userspace from the
number of free pages when calculating MemAvailable.

<content type='text'>
commit b18cb64ead400c01bf1580eeba330ace51f8087d upstream.

This reverts more of:

  b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps")

... which was partially reverted by:

  65376df58217 ("proc: revert /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps [stack:TID] annotation")

Originally, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps was the same as /proc/TID/maps.

In current kernels, /proc/PID/maps (or /proc/TID/maps even for
threads) shows "[stack]" for VMAs in the mm's stack address range.

In contrast, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps uses KSTK_ESP to guess the
target thread's stack's VMA.  This is racy, probably returns garbage
and, on arches with CONFIG_TASK_INFO_IN_THREAD=y, is also crash-prone:
KSTK_ESP is not safe to use on tasks that aren't known to be running
ordinary process-context kernel code.

This patch removes the difference and just shows "[stack]" for VMAs
in the mm's stack range.  This is IMO much more sensible -- the
actual "stack" address really is treated specially by the VM code,
and the current thread stack isn't even well-defined for programs
that frequently switch stacks on their own.
