commit 0fa4fe85f4724fff89b09741c437cbee9cf8b008 upstream.

The current check statement in BPF syscall will do a capability check
for CAP_SYS_ADMIN before checking sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled. This
code path will trigger unnecessary security hooks on capability checking
and cause false alarms on unprivileged process trying to get CAP_SYS_ADMIN
access. This can be resolved by simply switch the order of the statement
and CAP_SYS_ADMIN is not required anyway if unprivileged bpf syscall is
allowed.

<title>perf/core: Fix ctx_event_type in ctx_resched()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:227e2f91f0c93e867086f3dfeaafd0d7a44554d1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bd903afeb504db5655a45bb4cf86f38be5b1bf62 upstream.

In ctx_resched(), EVENT_FLEXIBLE should be sched_out when EVENT_PINNED is
added. However, ctx_resched() calculates ctx_event_type before checking
this condition. As a result, pinned events will NOT get higher priority
than flexible events.

The following shows this issue on an Intel CPU (where ref-cycles can
only use one hardware counter).

  1. First start:
       perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles  -I 1000
  2. Then, in the second console, run:
       perf stat -C 0 -e ref-cycles:D -I 1000

The second perf uses pinned events, which is expected to have higher
priority. However, because it failed in ctx_resched(). It is never
run.

This patch fixes this by calculating ctx_event_type after re-evaluating
event_type.

commit 19b558db12f9f4e45a22012bae7b4783e62224da upstream.

The clockid argument of clockid_to_kclock() comes straight from user space
via various syscalls and is used as index into the posix_clocks array.

Protect it against spectre v1 array out of bounds speculation. Remove the
redundant check for !posix_clock[id] as this is another source for
speculation and does not provide any advantage over the return
posix_clock[id] path which returns NULL in that case anyway.

commit c5d343b6b7badd1f5fe0873eff2e8d63a193e732 upstream.

In Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt, it says

 @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)

However, the parser doesn't parse minus offset correctly, since
commit 2fba0c8867af ("tracing/kprobes: Fix probe offset to be
unsigned") drops minus ("-") offset support for kprobe probe
address usage.

This fixes the traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() to parse minus
offset again with checking the offset range, and add a minus
offset check in kprobe probe address usage.

<id>urn:sha1:aa0533f4f7b283f9cf4e3c91fc6c719d433bb7f6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d1897c9538edafd4ae6bbd03cc075962ddde2c21 upstream.

A domain cgroup isn't allowed to be turned threaded if its subtree is
populated or domain controllers are enabled.  cgroup_enable_threaded()
depended on cgroup_can_be_thread_root() test to enforce this rule.  A
parent which has populated domain descendants or have domain
controllers enabled can't become a thread root, so the above rules are
enforced automatically.

However, for the root cgroup which can host mixed domain and threaded
children, cgroup_can_be_thread_root() doesn't check any of those
conditions and thus first level cgroups ends up escaping those rules.

This patch fixes the bug by adding explicit checks for those rules in
cgroup_enable_threaded().

This splat cannot be generated by expedited grace periods because they
always invoke resched_cpu() on the current CPU, which is good because
expedited grace periods require that resched_cpu() unconditionally
succeed.  However, other parts of RCU can tolerate resched_cpu() acting
as a no-op, at least as long as it doesn't happen too often.

This commit therefore makes resched_cpu() invoke resched_curr() only if
the CPU is either online or is the current CPU.

But the target task's priority has already been adjusted, so the only
purpose of switched_to_rt() invoking resched_curr() is to wake up the
CPU running some task that needs to be preempted by the boosted task.
But the CPU is offline, which presumably means that the task must be
migrated to some other CPU, and that this other CPU will undertake any
needed preemption at the time of migration.  Because the runqueue lock
is held when resched_curr() is invoked, we know that the boosted task
cannot go anywhere, so it is not necessary to invoke resched_curr()
in this particular case.

This commit therefore makes switched_to_rt() refrain from invoking
resched_curr() when the target CPU is offline.

commit 27d4ee03078aba88c5e07dcc4917e8d01d046f38 upstream.

Introduce a helper to retrieve the current task's work struct if it is
a workqueue worker.

This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers
wherein the -&gt;runtime_suspend callback waits for a specific worker to
finish and that worker in turn calls a function which waits for runtime
suspend to finish.  That function is invoked from multiple call sites
and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the correct thing to do
except if it's executing in the context of the worker.

[ upstream commit ca36960211eb228bcbc7aaebfa0d027368a94c60 ]

The requirements around atomic_add() / atomic64_add() resp. their
JIT implementations differ across architectures. E.g. while x86_64
seems just fine with BPF's xadd on unaligned memory, on arm64 it
triggers via interpreter but also JIT the following crash:

Reason for this is because memory is required to be aligned. In
case of BPF, we always enforce alignment in terms of stack access,
but not when accessing map values or packet data when the underlying
arch (e.g. arm64) has CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS set.

xadd on packet data that is local to us anyway is just wrong, so
forbid this case entirely. The only place where xadd makes sense in
fact are map values; xadd on stack is wrong as well, but it's been
around for much longer. Specifically enforce strict alignment in case
of xadd, so that we handle this case generically and avoid such crashes
in the first place.
