commit 9bbb25afeb182502ca4f2c4f3f88af0681b34cae upstream.

Thomas spotted that fixup_pi_state_owner() can return errors and we
fail to unlock the rt_mutex in that case.

commit c236c8e95a3d395b0494e7108f0d41cf36ec107c upstream.

While working on the futex code, I stumbled over this potential
use-after-free scenario. Dmitry triggered it later with syzkaller.

pi_mutex is a pointer into pi_state, which we drop the reference on in
unqueue_me_pi(). So any access to that pointer after that is bad.

Since other sites already do rt_mutex_unlock() with hb-&gt;lock held, see
for example futex_lock_pi(), simply move the unlock before
unqueue_me_pi().

<title>futex: Move futex_init() to core_initcall</title>

<id>urn:sha1:25f71d1c3e98ef0e52371746220d66458eac75bc</id>
<content type='text'>
The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed
and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted.

The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable
might use the futex syscall.

futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there
is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init
call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper.

If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the
syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem
has not been initialized yet.

Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the
root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.

<content type='text'>
ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

<content type='text'>
Currently the wake_q data structure is defined by the WAKE_Q() macro.
This macro, however, looks like a function doing something as "wake" is
a verb. Even checkpatch.pl was confused as it reported warnings like

  WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
  #548: FILE: kernel/futex.c:3665:
  +	int ret;
  +	WAKE_Q(wake_q);

This patch renames the WAKE_Q() macro to DEFINE_WAKE_Q() which clarifies
what the macro is doing and eliminates the checkpatch.pl warnings.

<title>futex: Assume all mappings are private on !MMU systems</title>

<content type='text'>
To quote Rick why there is no need for shared mapping on !MMU systems:

|With MMU, shared futex keys need to identify the physical backing for
|a memory address because it may be mapped at different addresses in
|different processes (or even multiple times in the same process).
|Without MMU this cannot happen. You only have physical addresses. So
|the "private futex" behavior of using the virtual address as the key
|is always correct (for both shared and private cases) on nommu
|systems.

This patch disables the FLAGS_SHARED in a way that allows the compiler to
remove that code.

<title>futex: Calculate the futex key based on a tail page for file-based futexes</title>

<content type='text'>
Mike Galbraith reported that the LTP test case futex_wake04 was broken
by commit 65d8fc777f6d ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page()
in get_futex_key()").

This test case uses futexes backed by hugetlbfs pages and so there is an
associated inode with a futex stored on such pages. The problem is that
the key is being calculated based on the head page index of the hugetlbfs
page and not the tail page.

Prior to the optimisation, the page lock was used to stabilise mappings and
pin the inode is file-backed which is overkill. If the page was a compound
page, the head page was automatically looked up as part of the page lock
operation but the tail page index was used to calculate the futex key.

After the optimisation, the compound head is looked up early and the page
lock is only relied upon to identify truncated pages, special pages or a
shmem page moving to swapcache. The head page is looked up because without
the page lock, special care has to be taken to pin the inode correctly.
However, the tail page is still required to calculate the futex key so
this patch records the tail page.

On vanilla 4.6, the output of the test case is;

futex_wake04    0  TINFO  :  Hugepagesize 2097152
futex_wake04    1  TFAIL  :  futex_wake04.c:126: Bug: wait_thread2 did not wake after 30 secs.

With the patch applied

futex_wake04    0  TINFO  :  Hugepagesize 2097152
futex_wake04    1  TPASS  :  Hi hydra, thread2 awake!

<id>urn:sha1:bd28b14591b98f696bc9f94c5ba2e598ca487dfd</id>
<content type='text'>
I'm looking at trying to possibly merge the 32-bit and 64-bit versions
of the x86 uaccess.h implementation, but first this needs to be cleaned
up.

For example, the 32-bit version of "__copy_from_user_inatomic()" is
mostly the special cases for the constant size, and it's actually almost
never relevant.  Most users aren't actually using a constant size
anyway, and the few cases that do small constant copies are better off
just using __get_user() instead.

So get rid of the unnecessary complexity.

Otherwise an incoming waker on the dest hash bucket can miss
the waiter adding itself to the plist during the lockless
check optimization (small window but still the correct way
of doing this); similarly to the decrement counterpart.
