If apply_wqattrs_prepare() fails in alloc_workqueue(), it will call put_pwq()
which invoke a work queue to call pwq_unbound_release_workfn() and use the 'wq'.
The 'wq' allocated in alloc_workqueue() will be freed in error path when
apply_wqattrs_prepare() fails. So it will lead a UAF.

If apply_wqattrs_prepare() fails, the new pwq are not linked, it doesn't
hold any reference to the 'wq', 'wq' is invalid to access in the worker,
so add check pwq if linked to fix this.

<title>wq: handle VM suspension in stall detection</title>

<content type='text'>
If VCPU is suspended (VM suspend) in wq_watchdog_timer_fn() then
once this VCPU resumes it will see the new jiffies value, while it
may take a while before IRQ detects PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED on this
VCPU and updates all the watchdogs via pvclock_touch_watchdogs().
There is a small chance of misreported WQ stalls in the meantime,
because new jiffies is time_after() old 'ts + thresh'.

wq_watchdog_timer_fn()
{
	for_each_pool(pool, pi) {
		if (time_after(jiffies, ts + thresh)) {
			pr_emerg("BUG: workqueue lockup - pool");
		}
	}
}

Save jiffies at the beginning of this function and use that value
for stall detection. If VM gets suspended then we continue using
"old" jiffies value and old WQ touch timestamps. If IRQ at some
point restarts the stall detection cycle (pvclock_touch_watchdogs())
then old jiffies will always be before new 'ts + thresh'.

Pull CFI on arm64 support from Kees Cook:
 "This builds on last cycle's LTO work, and allows the arm64 kernels to
  be built with Clang's Control Flow Integrity feature. This feature has
  happily lived in Android kernels for almost 3 years[1], so I'm excited
  to have it ready for upstream.

  The wide diffstat is mainly due to the treewide fixing of mismatched
  list_sort prototypes. Other things in core kernel are to address
  various CFI corner cases. The largest code portion is the CFI runtime
  implementation itself (which will be shared by all architectures
  implementing support for CFI). The arm64 pieces are Acked by arm64
  maintainers rather than coming through the arm64 tree since carrying
  this tree over there was going to be awkward.

  CFI support for x86 is still under development, but is pretty close.
  There are a handful of corner cases on x86 that need some improvements
  to Clang and objtool, but otherwise works well.

  Summary:

   - Clean up list_sort prototypes (Sami Tolvanen)

   - Introduce CONFIG_CFI_CLANG for arm64 (Sami Tolvanen)"

<content type='text'>
With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, a callback function passed to
__queue_delayed_work from a module points to a jump table entry
defined in the module instead of the one used in the core kernel,
which breaks function address equality in this check:

  WARN_ON_ONCE(timer-&gt;function != delayed_work_timer_fn);

Use WARN_ON_FUNCTION_MISMATCH() instead to disable the warning
when CFI and modules are both enabled.

<title>workqueue/watchdog: Make unbound workqueues aware of touch_softlockup_watchdog()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:89e28ce60cb65971c73359c66d076aa20a395cd5</id>
<content type='text'>
84;0;0c84;0;0c
There are two workqueue-specific watchdog timestamps:

    + @wq_watchdog_touched_cpu (per-CPU) updated by
      touch_softlockup_watchdog()

    + @wq_watchdog_touched (global) updated by
      touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs()

watchdog_timer_fn() checks only the global @wq_watchdog_touched for
unbound workqueues. As a result, unbound workqueues are not aware
of touch_softlockup_watchdog(). The watchdog might report a stall
even when the unbound workqueues are blocked by a known slow code.

Solution:
touch_softlockup_watchdog() must touch also the global @wq_watchdog_touched
timestamp.

The global timestamp can no longer be used for bound workqueues because
it is now updated from all CPUs. Instead, bound workqueues have to check
only @wq_watchdog_touched_cpu and these timestamps have to be updated for
all CPUs in touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs().

Beware:
The change might cause the opposite problem. An unbound workqueue
might get blocked on CPU A because of a real softlockup. The workqueue
watchdog would miss it when the timestamp got touched on CPU B.

It is acceptable because softlockups are detected by softlockup
watchdog. The workqueue watchdog is there to detect stalls where
a work never finishes, for example, because of dependencies of works
queued into the same workqueue.

V3:
- Modify the commit message clearly according to Petr's suggestion.

The debug_work_activate() is called on the premise that
the work can be inserted, because if wq be in WQ_DRAINING
status, insert work may be failed.

create_worker() will already set the right affinity using
kthread_bind_mask(), this means only the rescuer will need to change
it's affinity.

Howveer, while in cpu-hot-unplug a regular task is not allowed to run
on online&amp;&amp;!active as it would be pushed away quite agressively. We
need KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU to survive in that environment.

Therefore set the affinity after getting that magic flag.

Mark the per-cpu workqueue workers as KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU.

Workqueues have unfortunate semantics in that per-cpu workers are not
default flushed and parked during hotplug, however a subset does
manual flush on hotplug and hard relies on them for correctness.

Therefore play silly games..
