[ Upstream commit 0fe6ee8f123a4dfb529a5aff07536bb481f34043 ]

2d186afd04d6 ("profiling: fix shift-out-of-bounds bugs") limits shift
value by [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1], which means [0, 63].

However, syzbot found that the max shift value should be the bit number of
(_etext - _stext).  If shift is outside of this, the "buffer_bytes" will
be zero and will cause kzalloc(0).  Then the kernel panics due to
dereferencing the returned pointer 16.

This can be easily reproduced by passing a large number like 60 to enable
profiling and then run readprofile.

LOGS:

commit 2d186afd04d669fe9c48b994c41a7405a3c9f16d upstream.

Syzbot reported shift-out-of-bounds bug in profile_init().
The problem was in incorrect prof_shift. Since prof_shift value comes from
userspace we need to clamp this value into [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1]
boundaries.

Second possible shiht-out-of-bounds was found by Tetsuo:
sample_step local variable in read_profile() had "unsigned int" type,
but prof_shift allows to make a BITS_PER_LONG shift. So, to prevent
possible shiht-out-of-bounds sample_step type was changed to
"unsigned long".

Also, "unsigned short int" will be sufficient for storing
[0, BITS_PER_LONG] value, that's why there is no need for
"unsigned long" prof_shift.

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=&gt; proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=&gt; proc_ioctl

	xxx		=&gt; proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line

  3 warnings generated.

This can be addressed with the cpumask_available helper, introduced in
commit f7e30f01a9e2 ("cpumask: Add helper cpumask_available()") to fix
warnings like this while keeping the code the same.

Install the callbacks via the state machine and let the core invoke
the callbacks on the already online CPUs. A lot of code is removed because
the for-loop is used and create_hash_tables() is removed since its purpose
is covered by the startup / teardown hooks.

procfs is disabled or in uniprocessor kernels.  gcc prints a harmless
