commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream.

We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.

For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions &lt; 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size.  And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).

And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.

At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.

So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".

Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would.  In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.

That's currently not the world we live in, though.

<content type='text'>
commit b303c6df80c9f8f13785aa83a0471fca7e38b24d upstream.

Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched
various false positives:

 - commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building
   with -Os") turned off this option for -Os.

 - commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning
   for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for
   CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES

 - commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
   for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC &lt; 4.9
   Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903

I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.

<title>blktrace: fix dereference after null check</title>

<id>urn:sha1:84a729bc71f7042b3b6aa51cba16965da0e5dad9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 153031a301bb07194e9c37466cfce8eacb977621 upstream.

There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to
`q-&gt;blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access.

However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of
`bt` pointer even when it's NULL:

Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID
1460458.

```
/kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store()
1898            ret = 0;
1899            if (bt == NULL)
1900                    ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev);
1901
1902            if (ret == 0) {
1903                    if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_act_mask)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     CID 1460458:  Null pointer dereferences  (FORWARD_NULL)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     Dereferencing null pointer "bt".
1904                            bt-&gt;act_mask = value;
1905                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_pid)
1906                            bt-&gt;pid = value;
1907                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_start_lba)
1908                            bt-&gt;start_lba = value;
1909                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_end_lba)
```

Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.

commit c780e86dd48ef6467a1146cf7d0fe1e05a635039 upstream.

KASAN is reporting that __blk_add_trace() has a use-after-free issue
when accessing q-&gt;blk_trace. Indeed the switching of block tracing (and
thus eventual freeing of q-&gt;blk_trace) is completely unsynchronized with
the currently running tracing and thus it can happen that the blk_trace
structure is being freed just while __blk_add_trace() works on it.
Protect accesses to q-&gt;blk_trace by RCU during tracing and make sure we
wait for the end of RCU grace period when shutting down tracing. Luckily
that is rare enough event that we can afford that. Note that postponing
the freeing of blk_trace to an RCU callback should better be avoided as
it could have unexpected user visible side-effects as debugfs files
would be still existing for a short while block tracing has been shut
down.

commit 2967acbb257a6a9bf912f4778b727e00972eac9b upstream.

A previous commit changed the locking around registration/cleanup,
but direct callers of blk_trace_remove() were missed. This means
that if we hit the error path in setup, we will deadlock on
attempting to re-acquire the queue trace mutex.

Add internal unlocked variants, and export the ones that do the proper

<title>coredump: fix crash when umh is disabled</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 3740d93e37902b31159a82da2d5c8812ed825404 upstream.

Commit 64e90a8acb859 ("Introduce STATIC_USERMODEHELPER to mediate
call_usermodehelper()") added the optiont to disable all
call_usermodehelper() calls by setting STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to
an empty string. When this is done, and crashdump is triggered, it
will crash on null pointer dereference, since we make assumptions
over what call_usermodehelper_exec() did.

This has been reported by Sergey when one triggers a a coredump
with the following configuration:

```
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER=y
CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH=""
kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h %e
```

The way disabling the umh was designed was that call_usermodehelper_exec()
would just return early, without an error. But coredump assumes
certain variables are set up for us when this happens, and calls
ile_start_write(cprm.file) with a NULL file.

<title>tracing: Add a vmalloc_sync_mappings() for safe measure</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 11f5efc3ab66284f7aaacc926e9351d658e2577b upstream.

x86_64 lazily maps in the vmalloc pages, and the way this works with per_cpu
areas can be complex, to say the least. Mappings may happen at boot up, and
if nothing synchronizes the page tables, those page mappings may not be
synced till they are used. This causes issues for anything that might touch
one of those mappings in the path of the page fault handler. When one of
those unmapped mappings is touched in the page fault handler, it will cause
another page fault, which in turn will cause a page fault, and leave us in
a loop of page faults.

Commit 763802b53a42 ("x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()") split
vmalloc_sync_all() into vmalloc_sync_unmappings() and
vmalloc_sync_mappings(), as on system exit, it did not need to do a full
sync on x86_64 (although it still needed to be done on x86_32). By chance,
the vmalloc_sync_all() would synchronize the page mappings done at boot up
and prevent the per cpu area from being a problem for tracing in the page
fault handler. But when that synchronization in the exit of a task became a
nop, it caused the problem to appear.

commit 12ecef0cb12102d8c034770173d2d1363cb97d52 upstream.

In order to make future changes where we need to call
tracing_set_clock() from within an event command, the order of
trace_types_lock and event_mutex must be reversed, as the event command
will hold event_mutex and the trace_types_lock is taken from within
tracing_set_clock().

commit 2351f8d295ed63393190e39c2f7c1fee1a80578f upstream.

Currently the kernel threads are not frozen in software_resume(), so
between dpm_suspend_start(PMSG_QUIESCE) and resume_target_kernel(),
system_freezable_power_efficient_wq can still try to submit SCSI
commands and this can cause a panic since the low level SCSI driver
(e.g. hv_storvsc) has quiesced the SCSI adapter and can not accept
any SCSI commands: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/10/47

At first I posted a fix (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/21/1318) trying
to resolve the issue from hv_storvsc, but with the help of
Bart Van Assche, I realized it's better to fix software_resume(),
since this looks like a generic issue, not only pertaining to SCSI.
