commit 2156ac1934166d6deb6cd0f6ffc4c1076ec63697 upstream

Nothing uses the argument. Remove it as preparation to use
pi_state_update_owner().

[ 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.

In preparation for converting exec_update_mutex to a rwsem so that
multiple readers can execute in parallel and not deadlock, add
down_read_interruptible.  This is needed for perf_event_open to be
converted (with no semantic changes) from working on a mutex to
wroking on a rwsem.

<title>locking/lockdep: Decrement IRQ context counters when removing lock chain</title>

[ Upstream commit b3b9c187dc2544923a601733a85352b9ddaba9b3 ]

There are currently three counters to track the IRQ context of a lock
chain - nr_hardirq_chains, nr_softirq_chains and nr_process_chains.
They are incremented when a new lock chain is added, but they are
not decremented when a lock chain is removed. That causes some of the
statistic counts reported by /proc/lockdep_stats to be incorrect.
IRQ
Fix that by decrementing the right counter when a lock chain is removed.

Since inc_chains() no longer accesses hardirq_context and softirq_context
directly, it is moved out from the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS conditional
compilation block.

Though the number of lock-acquisitions is tracked as unsigned long, this
is passed as the divisor to div_s64() which interprets it as a s32,
giving nonsense values with more than 2 billion acquisitons. E.g.

commit 80c503e0e68fbe271680ab48f0fe29bc034b01b7 upstream.

The __torture_print_stats() function in locktorture.c carefully
initializes local variable "min" to statp[0].n_lock_acquired, but
then compares it to statp[i].n_lock_fail.  Given that the .n_lock_fail
field should normally be zero, and given the initialization, it seems
reasonable to display the maximum and minimum number acquisitions
instead of miscomputing the maximum and minimum number of failures.
This commit therefore switches from failures to acquisitions.

And this turns out to be not only a day-zero bug, but entirely my
own fault.  I hate it when that happens!

[ Upstream commit 25016bd7f4caf5fc983bbab7403d08e64cba3004 ]

Qian Cai reported a bug when PROVE_RCU_LIST=y, and read on /proc/lockdep
triggered a warning:

  [ ] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current-&gt;hardirqs_enabled)
  ...
  [ ] Call Trace:
  [ ]  lock_is_held_type+0x5d/0x150
  [ ]  ? rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online+0x64/0x80

  [ ]  ? class_equal+0x30/0x30
  [ ]  lockdep_count_forward_deps+0x11a/0x1a0

The warning got triggered because lockdep_count_forward_deps() call
__bfs() without current-&gt;lockdep_recursion being set, as a result
a lockdep internal function (__bfs()) is checked by lockdep, which is
unexpected, and the inconsistency between the irq-off state and the
state traced by lockdep caused the warning.

Apart from this warning, lockdep internal functions like __bfs() should
always be protected by current-&gt;lockdep_recursion to avoid potential
deadlocks and data inconsistency, therefore add the
current-&gt;lockdep_recursion on-and-off section to protect __bfs() in both
lockdep_count_forward_deps() and lockdep_count_backward_deps()

commit a030f9767da1a6bbcec840fc54770eb11c2414b6 upstream.

It was found that two lines in the output of /proc/lockdep_stats have
indentation problem:

  # cat /proc/lockdep_stats
     :
   in-process chains:                   25057

   hardirq-unsafe locks:                 1286
     :

All the numbers displayed in /proc/lockdep_stats except the two stack
trace numbers are formatted with a field with of 11. To properly align
all the numbers, a field width of 11 is now added to the two stack
trace numbers.

commit d91f3057263ceb691ef527e71b41a56b17f6c869 upstream.

If the lockdep code is really running out of the stack_trace entries,
it is likely that buffer overrun can happen and the data immediately
after stack_trace[] will be corrupted.

If there is less than LOCK_TRACE_SIZE_IN_LONGS entries left before
the call to save_trace(), the max_entries computation will leave it
with a very large positive number because of its unsigned nature. The
subsequent call to stack_trace_save() will then corrupt the data after
stack_trace[]. Fix that by changing max_entries to a signed integer
and check for negative value before calling stack_trace_save().
