<id>urn:sha1:f8e54da1c729cc23d9a7b7bd42379323e7fb7979</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 74e19ef0ff8061ef55957c3abd71614ef0f42f47 upstream.

The results of "access_ok()" can be mis-speculated.  The result is that
you can end speculatively:

	if (access_ok(from, size))
		// Right here

even for bad from/size combinations.  On first glance, it would be ideal
to just add a speculation barrier to "access_ok()" so that its results
can never be mis-speculated.

But there are lots of system calls just doing access_ok() via
"copy_to_user()" and friends (example: fstat() and friends).  Those are
generally not problematic because they do not _consume_ data from
userspace other than the pointer.  They are also very quick and common
system calls that should not be needlessly slowed down.

"copy_from_user()" on the other hand uses a user-controller pointer and
is frequently followed up with code that might affect caches.  Take
something like this:

	if (!copy_from_user(&amp;kernelvar, uptr, size))
		do_something_with(kernelvar);

If userspace passes in an evil 'uptr' that *actually* points to a kernel
addresses, and then do_something_with() has cache (or other)
side-effects, it could allow userspace to infer kernel data values.

Add a barrier to the common copy_from_user() code to prevent
mis-speculated values which happen after the copy.

Also add a stub for architectures that do not define barrier_nospec().
This makes the macro usable in generic code.

Since the barrier is now usable in generic code, the x86 #ifdef in the
BPF code can also go away.

[ Upstream commit d7bf7f3b813e3755226bcb5114ad2ac477514ebf ]

add_latent_entropy() is called every time a process forks, in
kernel_clone(). This in turn calls add_device_randomness() using the
latent entropy global state. add_device_randomness() does two things:

   2) Mixes into the input pool the latent entropy argument passed; and
   1) Mixes in a cycle counter, a sort of measurement of when the event
      took place, the high precision bits of which are presumably
      difficult to predict.

(2) is impossible without CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y. But (1) is
always possible. However, currently CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=n
disables both (1) and (2), instead of just (2).

This commit causes the CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=n case to still
do (1) by passing NULL (len 0) to add_device_randomness() when add_latent_
entropy() is called.

commit ca43ccf41224b023fc290073d5603a755fd12eed upstream.

Eric Dumazet pointed out [0] that when we call skb_set_owner_r()
for ipv6_pinfo.pktoptions, sk_rmem_schedule() has not been called,
resulting in a negative sk_forward_alloc.

We add a new helper which clones a skb and sets its owner only
when sk_rmem_schedule() succeeds.

Note that we move skb_set_owner_r() forward in (dccp|tcp)_v6_do_rcv()
because tcp_send_synack() can make sk_forward_alloc negative before
ipv6_opt_accepted() in the crossed SYN-ACK or self-connect() cases.

<title>hugetlb: check for undefined shift on 32 bit architectures</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0158f14945ef63f0c1dd4892822f11aeedba6240</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ec4288fe63966b26d53907212ecd05dfa81dd2cc upstream.

Users can specify the hugetlb page size in the mmap, shmget and
memfd_create system calls.  This is done by using 6 bits within the flags
argument to encode the base-2 logarithm of the desired page size.  The
routine hstate_sizelog() uses the log2 value to find the corresponding
hugetlb hstate structure.  Converting the log2 value (page_size_log) to
potential hugetlb page size is the simple statement:

	1UL &lt;&lt; page_size_log

Because only 6 bits are used for page_size_log, the left shift can not be
greater than 63.  This is fine on 64 bit architectures where a long is 64
bits.  However, if a value greater than 31 is passed on a 32 bit
architecture (where long is 32 bits) the shift will result in undefined
behavior.  This was generally not an issue as the result of the undefined
shift had to exactly match hugetlb page size to proceed.

Recent improvements in runtime checking have resulted in this undefined
behavior throwing errors such as reported below.

Fix by comparing page_size_log to BITS_PER_LONG before doing shift.

commit 3489dbb696d25602aea8c3e669a6d43b76bd5358 upstream.

Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs".

This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was
discussed in [1].  The following two patches address user visible behavior
caused by this issue.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9BF+OCdWnCSilEu@monkey/


This patch (of 2):

A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes
via a shared PMD.  This is because only the first process increases the
map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their
page table.

page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or
private in /proc/PID/smaps.  Pages referenced via a shared PMD were
incorrectly being counted as private.

To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1.  If a shared PMD is found
count the hugetlb page as shared.  A new helper to check for a shared PMD
is added.

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

<id>urn:sha1:700e1252c227a2bbcbe70001ce7cd2d26d772666</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3ddd9a808cee7284931312f2f3e854c9617f44b2 upstream.

Patch series "sysctl: first set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2.

Finally had time to respin the series of the work we had started last
year on cleaning up the kernel/sysct.c kitchen sink.  People keeps
stuffing their sysctls in that file and this creates a maintenance
burden.  So this effort is aimed at placing sysctls where they actually
belong.

I'm going to split patches up into series as there is quite a bit of
work.

This first set adds register_sysctl_init() for uses of registerting a
sysctl on the init path, adds const where missing to a few places,
generalizes common values so to be more easy to share, and starts the
move of a few kernel/sysctl.c out where they belong.

The majority of rework on v2 in this first patch set is 0-day fixes.
Eric Biederman's feedback is later addressed in subsequent patch sets.

I'll only post the first two patch sets for now.  We can address the
rest once the first two patch sets get completely reviewed / Acked.

This patch (of 9):

The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

Today though folks heavily rely on tables on kernel/sysctl.c so they can
easily just extend this table with their needed sysctls.  In order to
help users move their sysctls out we need to provide a helper which can
be used during code initialization.

We special-case the initialization use of register_sysctl() since it
*is* safe to fail, given all that sysctls do is provide a dynamic
interface to query or modify at runtime an existing variable.  So the
use case of register_sysctl() on init should *not* stop if the sysctls
don't end up getting registered.  It would be counter productive to stop
boot if a simple sysctl registration failed.

Provide a helper for init then, and document the recommended init levels
to use for callers of this routine.  We will later use this in
subsequent patches to start slimming down kernel/sysctl.c tables and
moving sysctl registration to the code which actually needs these
sysctls.

This reverts commit cca8671f3a7f5775a078f2676f6d1039afb925e6 which is
commit ad431025aecda85d3ebef5e4a3aca5c1c681d0c7 upstream.

	I recommend not backporting this patch or the other three
	patches apparently intended to support it to 4.19 stable.  All
	these patches are related to ext4's bigalloc feature, which was
	experimental as of 4.19 (expressly noted by contemporary
	versions of e2fsprogs) and also suffered from a number of bugs.
	A significant number of additional patches that were applied to
	5.X kernels over time would have to be backported to 4.19 for
	the patch below to function correctly. It's really not worth
	doing that given bigalloc's experimental status as of 4.19 and
	the very rare combination of the bigalloc and inline features.
