<content type='text'>
commit 7535b832c6399b5ebfc5b53af5c51dd915ee2538 upstream.

Use a temporary variable to take full advantage of READ_ONCE() behavior.
Without this, the report (and even the test) might be out of sync with
the initial test.

commit 8b05aa26336113c4cea25f1c333ee8cd4fc212a6 upstream.

Since Warn count is now tracked and is a fairly interesting signal, add
the entry /sys/kernel/warn_count to expose it to userspace.

panic_on_warn is not set.

commit 79cc1ba7badf9e7a12af99695a557e9ce27ee967 upstream.

Several run-time checkers (KASAN, UBSAN, KFENCE, KCSAN, sched) roll
their own warnings, and each check "panic_on_warn". Consolidate this
into a single function so that future instrumentation can be added in
a single location.

<title>panic: unset panic_on_warn inside panic()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 1a2383e8b84c0451fd9b1eec3b9aab16f30b597c upstream.

In the current code, the following three places need to unset
panic_on_warn before calling panic() to avoid recursive panics:

kernel/kcsan/report.c: print_report()
kernel/sched/core.c: __schedule_bug()
mm/kfence/report.c: kfence_report_error()

In order to avoid copy-pasting "panic_on_warn = 0" all over the places,
it is better to move it inside panic() and then remove it from the other
places.

<title>panic: ensure preemption is disabled during panic()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7d1688c6731b0d28aefe520414ae85581cc66725</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 20bb759a66be52cf4a9ddd17fddaf509e11490cd upstream.

Calling 'panic()' on a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y can leave the
calling CPU in an infinite loop, but with interrupts and preemption
enabled.  From this state, userspace can continue to be scheduled,
despite the system being "dead" as far as the kernel is concerned.

This is easily reproducible on arm64 when booting with "nosmp" on the
command line; a couple of shell scripts print out a periodic "Ping"
message whilst another triggers a crash by writing to
/proc/sysrq-trigger:

  | sysrq: Trigger a crash
  | Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash
  | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 5.2.15 #1
  | Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)

  | Memory Limit: none
  | ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash ]---
  |  Ping 2!
  |  Ping 1!
  |  Ping 1!
  |  Ping 2!

The issue can also be triggered on x86 kernels if CONFIG_SMP=n,
otherwise local interrupts are disabled in 'smp_send_stop()'.

Disable preemption in 'panic()' before re-enabling interrupts.

<title>panic: avoid deadlocks in re-entrant console drivers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:384221cbb918136863016a582dd7475febc7d4b9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c7c3f05e341a9a2bd1a92993d4f996cfd6e7348e upstream.

From printk()/serial console point of view panic() is special, because
it may force CPU to re-enter printk() or/and serial console driver.
Therefore, some of serial consoles drivers are re-entrant. E.g. 8250:

serial8250_console_write()
{
	if (port-&gt;sysrq)
		locked = 0;
	else if (oops_in_progress)
		locked = spin_trylock_irqsave(&amp;port-&gt;lock, flags);
	else
		spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;port-&gt;lock, flags);
	...
}

panic() does set oops_in_progress via bust_spinlocks(1), so in theory
we should be able to re-enter serial console driver from panic():

	CPU0
	&lt;NMI&gt;
	uart_console_write()
	serial8250_console_write()		// if (oops_in_progress)
						//    spin_trylock_irqsave()
	call_console_drivers()
	console_unlock()
	console_flush_on_panic()
	bust_spinlocks(1)			// oops_in_progress++
	panic()
	&lt;NMI/&gt;
	spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;port-&gt;lock, flags)   // spin_lock_irqsave()
	serial8250_console_write()
	call_console_drivers()
	console_unlock()
	printk()
	...

However, this does not happen and we deadlock in serial console on
port-&gt;lock spinlock. And the problem is that console_flush_on_panic()
called after bust_spinlocks(0):

void panic(const char *fmt, ...)
{
	bust_spinlocks(1);
	...
	bust_spinlocks(0);
	console_flush_on_panic();
	...
}

bust_spinlocks(0) decrements oops_in_progress, so oops_in_progress
can go back to zero. Thus even re-entrant console drivers will simply
spin on port-&gt;lock spinlock. Given that port-&gt;lock may already be
locked either by a stopped CPU, or by the very same CPU we execute
panic() on (for instance, NMI panic() on printing CPU) the system
deadlocks and does not reboot.

Fix this by removing bust_spinlocks(0), so oops_in_progress is always
set in panic() now and, thus, re-entrant console drivers will trylock
the port-&gt;lock instead of spinning on it forever, when we call them
from console_flush_on_panic().

<title>Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables</title>

<id>urn:sha1:050e9baa9dc9fbd9ce2b27f0056990fc9e0a08a0</id>
<content type='text'>
The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.

That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.

HOWEVER.

It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y

and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y

That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.

The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one.  This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).

This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y

where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.

Since the randstruct plugin can intentionally produce extremely unusual
kernel structure layouts (even performance pathological ones), some
maintainers want to be able to trivially determine if an Oops is coming
from a randstruct-built kernel, so as to keep their sanity when
debugging.  This adds the new flag and initializes taint_mask
immediately when built with randstruct.
