commit 70e6b7d9ae3c63df90a7bba7700e8d5c300c3c60 upstream.

Leaving the PIT interrupt running can cause noticeable steal time for
virtual guests. The VMM generally has a timer which toggles the IRQ input
to the PIC and I/O APIC, which takes CPU time away from the guest. Even
on real hardware, running the counter may use power needlessly (albeit
not much).

Make sure it's turned off if it isn't going to be used.

<content type='text'>
commit 89e8a2366e3bce584b6c01549d5019c5cda1205e upstream.

iommu_sva_bind_device() should return either a sva bond handle or an
ERR_PTR value in error cases. Existing drivers (idxd and uacce) only
check the return value with IS_ERR(). This could potentially lead to
a kernel NULL pointer dereference issue if the function returns NULL
instead of an error pointer.

In reality, this doesn't cause any problems because iommu_sva_bind_device()
only returns NULL when the kernel is not configured with CONFIG_IOMMU_SVA.
In this case, iommu_dev_enable_feature(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_SVA) will
return an error, and the device drivers won't call iommu_sva_bind_device()
at all.

<title>cgroup: fix race between fork and cgroup.kill</title>

<id>urn:sha1:28e51dd4f28bf5edb705a41475ee606d766ce375</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b69bb476dee99d564d65d418e9a20acca6f32c3f upstream.

Tejun reported the following race between fork() and cgroup.kill at [1].

Tejun:
  I was looking at cgroup.kill implementation and wondering whether there
  could be a race window. So, __cgroup_kill() does the following:

   k1. Set CGRP_KILL.
   k2. Iterate tasks and deliver SIGKILL.
   k3. Clear CGRP_KILL.

  The copy_process() does the following:

   c1. Copy a bunch of stuff.
   c2. Grab siglock.
   c3. Check fatal_signal_pending().
   c4. Commit to forking.
   c5. Release siglock.
   c6. Call cgroup_post_fork() which puts the task on the css_set and tests
       CGRP_KILL.

  The intention seems to be that either a forking task gets SIGKILL and
  terminates on c3 or it sees CGRP_KILL on c6 and kills the child. However, I
  don't see what guarantees that k3 can't happen before c6. ie. After a
  forking task passes c5, k2 can take place and then before the forking task
  reaches c6, k3 can happen. Then, nobody would send SIGKILL to the child.
  What am I missing?

This is indeed a race. One way to fix this race is by taking
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem in write mode in __cgroup_kill() as the fork()
side takes cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem in read mode from cgroup_can_fork()
to cgroup_post_fork(). However that would be heavy handed as this adds
one more potential stall scenario for cgroup.kill which is usually
called under extreme situation like memory pressure.

To fix this race, let's maintain a sequence number per cgroup which gets
incremented on __cgroup_kill() call. On the fork() side, the
cgroup_can_fork() will cache the sequence number locally and recheck it
against the cgroup's sequence number at cgroup_post_fork() site. If the
sequence numbers mismatch, it means __cgroup_kill() can been called and
we should send SIGKILL to the newly created task.

<title>efi: Avoid cold plugged memory for placing the kernel</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d7c19014762ae0a2f46d61a8385c3c84dde09bea</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ba69e0750b0362870294adab09339a0c39c3beaf upstream.

UEFI 2.11 introduced EFI_MEMORY_HOT_PLUGGABLE to annotate system memory
regions that are 'cold plugged' at boot, i.e., hot pluggable memory that
is available from early boot, and described as system RAM by the
firmware.

Existing loaders and EFI applications running in the boot context will
happily use this memory for allocating data structures that cannot be
freed or moved at runtime, and this prevents the memory from being
unplugged. Going forward, the new EFI_MEMORY_HOT_PLUGGABLE attribute
should be tested, and memory annotated as such should be avoided for
such allocations.

In the EFI stub, there are a couple of occurrences where, instead of the
high-level AllocatePages() UEFI boot service, a low-level code sequence
is used that traverses the EFI memory map and carves out the requested
number of pages from a free region. This is needed, e.g., for allocating
as low as possible, or for allocating pages at random.

While AllocatePages() should presumably avoid special purpose memory and
cold plugged regions, this manual approach needs to incorporate this
logic itself, in order to prevent the kernel itself from ending up in a
hot unpluggable region, preventing it from being unplugged.

So add the EFI_MEMORY_HOTPLUGGABLE macro definition, and check for it
where appropriate.

On a board running ntpd and gpsd, I'm seeing a consistent use-after-free
in sys_exit() from gpsd when rebooting:

...followed by more symptoms of corruption, with similar stacks:

    refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
    kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62!
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception

This happens because pps_device_destruct() frees the pps_device with the
embedded cdev immediately after calling cdev_del(), but, as the comment
above cdev_del() notes, fops for previously opened cdevs are still
callable even after cdev_del() returns. I think this bug has always
been there: I can't explain why it suddenly started happening every time
I reboot this particular board.

In commit d953e0e837e6 ("pps: Fix a use-after free bug when
unregistering a source."), George Spelvin suggested removing the
embedded cdev. That seems like the simplest way to fix this, so I've
implemented his suggestion, using __register_chrdev() with pps_idr
becoming the source of truth for which minor corresponds to which
device.

But now that pps_idr defines userspace visibility instead of cdev_add(),
we need to be sure the pps-&gt;dev refcount can't reach zero while
userspace can still find it again. So, the idr_remove() call moves to
pps_unregister_cdev(), and pps_idr now holds a reference to pps-&gt;dev.

    pps_core: source serial1 got cdev (251:1)
    &lt;...&gt;
    pps pps1: removed
    pps_core: unregistering pps1
    pps_core: deallocating pps1

<content type='text'>
commit 1e7381f3617d14b3c11da80ff5f8a93ab14cfc46 upstream.

Explicitly verify the target vCPU is fully online _prior_ to clamping the
index in kvm_get_vcpu().  If the index is "bad", the nospec clamping will
generate '0', i.e. KVM will return vCPU0 instead of NULL.

In practice, the bug is unlikely to cause problems, as it will only come
into play if userspace or the guest is buggy or misbehaving, e.g. KVM may
send interrupts to vCPU0 instead of dropping them on the floor.

However, returning vCPU0 when it shouldn't exist per online_vcpus is
problematic now that KVM uses an xarray for the vCPUs array, as KVM needs
to insert into the xarray before publishing the vCPU to userspace (see
commit c5b077549136 ("KVM: Convert the kvm-&gt;vcpus array to a xarray")),
i.e. before vCPU creation is guaranteed to succeed.

As a result, incorrectly providing access to vCPU0 will trigger a
use-after-free if vCPU0 is dereferenced and kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu()
bails out of vCPU creation due to an error and frees vCPU0.  Commit
afb2acb2e3a3 ("KVM: Fix vcpu_array[0] races") papered over that issue, but
in doing so introduced an unsolvable teardown conundrum.  Preventing
accesses to vCPU0 before it's fully online will allow reverting commit
afb2acb2e3a3, without re-introducing the vcpu_array[0] UAF race.

[ Upstream commit e61e6c415ba9ff2b32bb6780ce1b17d1d76238f1 ]

The overflow_work is using system wq to do overflow checks and updates
for PHC device timecounter, which might be overhelmed by other tasks.
But there is dedicated kthread in PTP subsystem designed for such
things. This patch changes the work queue to proper align with PTP
subsystem and to avoid overloading system work queue.
The adjfine() function acts the same way as overflow check worker,
we can postpone ptp aux worker till the next overflow period after
adjfine() was called.

[ Upstream commit 543841d1806029889c2f69f040e88b247aba8e22 ]

Zbigniew mentioned at Linux Plumber's that systemd is interested in
switching to execveat() for service execution, but can't, because the
contents of /proc/pid/comm are the file descriptor which was used,
instead of the path to the binary[1]. This makes the output of tools like
top and ps useless, especially in a world where most fds are opened
CLOEXEC so the number is truly meaningless.

When the filename passed in is empty (e.g. with AT_EMPTY_PATH), use the
dentry's filename for "comm" instead of using the useless numeral from
the synthetic fdpath construction. This way the actual exec machinery
is unchanged, but cosmetically the comm looks reasonable to admins
investigating things.

Instead of adding TASK_COMM_LEN more bytes to bprm, use one of the unused
flag bits to indicate that we need to set "comm" from the dentry.
