commit 07234021410bbc27b7c86c18de98616c29fbe667 upstream.

Al Viro reported:

    For substring - sure, but what about something like "*a*b" and "a*b"?
    AFAICS, filter_parse_regex() ends up with identical results in both
    cases - MATCH_GLOB and *search = "a*b".  And no way for the caller
    to tell one from another.

Testing this with the following:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo '*raw*lock' &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

With this patch:

 # echo '*raw*lock' &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 # cat set_ftrace_filter
_raw_read_trylock
_raw_write_trylock
_raw_read_unlock
_raw_spin_unlock
_raw_write_unlock
_raw_spin_trylock
_raw_spin_lock
_raw_write_lock
_raw_read_lock

Al recommended not setting the search buffer to skip the first '*' unless we
know we are not using MATCH_GLOB. This implements his suggested logic.

commit 10a0cd6e4932b5078215b1ec2c896597eec0eff9 upstream.

The functions devm_memremap_pages() and devm_memremap_pages_release() use
different ways to calculate the section-aligned amount of memory. The
latter function may use an incorrect size if the memory region is small
but straddles a section border.

Use the same code for both.

commit 0e4d819d0893dc043ea7b7cb6baf4be1e310bd96 upstream.

Recently, how the pointers being printed with %p has been changed
by commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p").
This is causing a regression while showing offset in the
uprobe_events file. Instead of %p, use %px to display offset.

Before patch:

  # perf probe -vv -x /tmp/a.out main
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//uprobe_events write=1
  Writing event: p:probe_a/main /tmp/a.out:0x58c

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  p:probe_a/main /tmp/a.out:0x0000000049a0f352

After patch:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  p:probe_a/main /tmp/a.out:0x000000000000058c

commit 156baec39732f025dc778e00da95fc10d6e45885 upstream.

Use of init_rcu_head() and destroy_rcu_head() from modules results in
the following build-time error with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y:

	ERROR: "init_rcu_head" [drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko] undefined!
	ERROR: "destroy_rcu_head" [drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko] undefined!

This commit therefore adds EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for each to allow them to
be used by GPL-licensed kernel modules.

<content type='text'>
commit 7b6586562708d2b3a04fe49f217ddbadbbbb0546 upstream.

__unregister_ftrace_function_probe() will incorrectly parse the glob filter
because it resets the search variable that was setup by filter_parse_regex().

Al Viro reported this:

    After that call of filter_parse_regex() we could have func_g.search not
    equal to glob only if glob started with '!' or '*'.  In the former case
    we would've buggered off with -EINVAL (not = 1).  In the latter we
    would've set func_g.search equal to glob + 1, calculated the length of
    that thing in func_g.len and proceeded to reset func_g.search back to
    glob.

    Suppose the glob is e.g. *foo*.  We end up with
	    func_g.type = MATCH_MIDDLE_ONLY;
	    func_g.len = 3;
	    func_g.search = "*foo";
    Feeding that to ftrace_match_record() will not do anything sane - we
    will be looking for names containing "*foo" (-&gt;len is ignored for that
    one).

commit 1beaeacdc88b537703d04d5536235d0bbb36db93 upstream.

Meelis reported the following warning on a quad P3 HP NetServer museum piece:

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 258 at kernel/irq/chip.c:244 __irq_startup+0x80/0x100
EIP: __irq_startup+0x80/0x100

parport_parse_param.constprop.16+0xf0/0xf0 [parport_pc]
do_one_initcall+0x45/0x1e0

This is caused by the rewrite of the irq activation/startup sequence which
missed to convert a callsite in the irq legacy auto probing code.

To fix this irq_activate_and_startup() needs to gain a return value so the
pending logic can work proper.

This commit introduced a double free bug, because 'chan' is already

This bug was found by syzkaller, using the BLKTRACESETUP ioctl.

<content type='text'>
commit 4f7e988e63e336827f4150de48163bed05d653bd upstream.

This reverts commit 92266d6ef60c ("async: simplify lowest_in_progress()")
which was simply wrong: In the case where domain is NULL, we now use the
wrong offsetof() in the list_first_entry macro, so we don't actually
fetch the -&gt;cookie value, but rather the eight bytes located
sizeof(struct list_head) further into the struct async_entry.

On 64 bit, that's the data member, while on 32 bit, that's a u64 built
from func and data in some order.

I think the bug happens to be harmless in practice: It obviously only
affects callers which pass a NULL domain, and AFAICT the only such
caller is

  async_synchronize_full() -&gt;
  async_synchronize_full_domain(NULL) -&gt;
  async_synchronize_cookie_domain(ASYNC_COOKIE_MAX, NULL)

and the ASYNC_COOKIE_MAX means that in practice we end up waiting for
the async_global_pending list to be empty - but it would break if
somebody happened to pass (void*)-1 as the data element to
async_schedule, and of course also if somebody ever does a
async_synchronize_cookie_domain(, NULL) with a "finite" cookie value.

Maybe the "harmless in practice" means this isn't -stable material.  But
I'm not completely confident my quick git grep'ing is enough, and there
might be affected code in one of the earlier kernels that has since been
removed, so I'll leave the decision to the stable guys.

<title>sched/rt: Up the root domain ref count when passing it around via IPIs</title>

commit 364f56653708ba8bcdefd4f0da2a42904baa8eeb upstream.

When issuing an IPI RT push, where an IPI is sent to each CPU that has more
than one RT task scheduled on it, it references the root domain's rto_mask,
that contains all the CPUs within the root domain that has more than one RT
task in the runable state. The problem is, after the IPIs are initiated, the
rq-&gt;lock is released. This means that the root domain that is associated to
the run queue could be freed while the IPIs are going around.

Add a sched_get_rd() and a sched_put_rd() that will increment and decrement
the root domain's ref count respectively. This way when initiating the IPIs,
the scheduler will up the root domain's ref count before releasing the
rq-&gt;lock, ensuring that the root domain does not go away until the IPI round
is complete.

<title>sched/rt: Use container_of() to get root domain in rto_push_irq_work_func()</title>

commit ad0f1d9d65938aec72a698116cd73a980916895e upstream.

When the rto_push_irq_work_func() is called, it looks at the RT overloaded
bitmask in the root domain via the runqueue (rq-&gt;rd). The problem is that
during CPU up and down, nothing here stops rq-&gt;rd from changing between
taking the rq-&gt;rd-&gt;rto_lock and releasing it. That means the lock that is
released is not the same lock that was taken.

Instead of using this_rq()-&gt;rd to get the root domain, as the irq work is
part of the root domain, we can simply get the root domain from the irq work
that is passed to the routine:

 container_of(work, struct root_domain, rto_push_work)

This keeps the root domain consistent.
