commit 901c7280ca0d5e2b4a8929fbe0bfb007ac2a6544 upstream.

Halil Pasic points out [1] that the full revert of that commit (revert
in bddac7c1e02b), and that a partial revert that only reverts the
problematic case, but still keeps some of the cleanups is probably
better.  ￼

And that partial revert [2] had already been verified by Oleksandr
Natalenko to also fix the issue, I had just missed that in the long
discussion.

So let's reinstate the cleanups from commit aa6f8dcbab47 ("swiotlb:
rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""), and effectively only
revert the part that caused problems.

commit ddbd89deb7d32b1fbb879f48d68fda1a8ac58e8e upstream.

The problem I'm addressing was discovered by the LTP test covering
cve-2018-1000204.

A short description of what happens follows:
1) The test case issues a command code 00 (TEST UNIT READY) via the SG_IO
   interface with: dxfer_len == 524288, dxdfer_dir == SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV
   and a corresponding dxferp. The peculiar thing about this is that TUR
   is not reading from the device.
2) In sg_start_req() the invocation of blk_rq_map_user() effectively
   bounces the user-space buffer. As if the device was to transfer into
   it. Since commit a45b599ad808 ("scsi: sg: allocate with __GFP_ZERO in
   sg_build_indirect()") we make sure this first bounce buffer is
   allocated with GFP_ZERO.
3) For the rest of the story we keep ignoring that we have a TUR, so the
   device won't touch the buffer we prepare as if the we had a
   DMA_FROM_DEVICE type of situation. My setup uses a virtio-scsi device
   and the  buffer allocated by SG is mapped by the function
   virtqueue_add_split() which uses DMA_FROM_DEVICE for the "in" sgs (here
   scatter-gather and not scsi generics). This mapping involves bouncing
   via the swiotlb (we need swiotlb to do virtio in protected guest like
   s390 Secure Execution, or AMD SEV).
4) When the SCSI TUR is done, we first copy back the content of the second
   (that is swiotlb) bounce buffer (which most likely contains some
   previous IO data), to the first bounce buffer, which contains all
   zeros.  Then we copy back the content of the first bounce buffer to
   the user-space buffer.
5) The test case detects that the buffer, which it zero-initialized,
  ain't all zeros and fails.

One can argue that this is an swiotlb problem, because without swiotlb
we leak all zeros, and the swiotlb should be transparent in a sense that
it does not affect the outcome (if all other participants are well
behaved).

Copying the content of the original buffer into the swiotlb buffer is
the only way I can think of to make swiotlb transparent in such
scenarios. So let's do just that if in doubt, but allow the driver
to tell us that the whole mapped buffer is going to be overwritten,
in which case we can preserve the old behavior and avoid the performance
impact of the extra bounce.

commit 3ac6487e584a1eb54071dbe1212e05b884136704 upstream.

Norbert reported that it's possible to race sys_perf_event_open() such
that the looser ends up in another context from the group leader,
triggering many WARNs.

The move_group case checks for races against itself, but the
!move_group case doesn't, seemingly relying on the previous
group_leader-&gt;ctx == ctx check. However, that check is racy due to not
holding any locks at that time.

Therefore, re-check the result after acquiring locks and bailing
if they no longer match.

Additionally, clarify the not_move_group case from the
move_group-vs-move_group race.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Remove cpus_allowed/mems_allowed setup in cpuset_init_smp()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1d1b03834439e64279b5b22e1fb33f593247172a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2685027fca387b602ae565bff17895188b803988 upstream.

There are 3 places where the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset can
be initialized in the order they are executed:
 1) start_kernel -&gt; cpuset_init()
 2) start_kernel -&gt; cgroup_init() -&gt; cpuset_bind()
 3) kernel_init_freeable() -&gt; do_basic_setup() -&gt; cpuset_init_smp()

The first cpuset_init() call just sets all the bits in the masks.
The second cpuset_bind() call sets cpus_allowed and mems_allowed to the
default v2 values. The third cpuset_init_smp() call sets them back to
v1 values.

For systems with cgroup v2 setup, cpuset_bind() is called once.  As a
result, cpu and memory node hot add may fail to update the cpu and node
masks of the top cpuset to include the newly added cpu or node in a
cgroup v2 environment.

For systems with cgroup v1 setup, cpuset_bind() is called again by
rebind_subsystem() when the v1 cpuset filesystem is mounted as shown
in the dmesg log below with an instrumented kernel.

  [    2.609781] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 1
  [    3.079473] cpuset_init_smp() called
  [    7.103710] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 0

smp_init() is called after the first two init functions.  So we don't
have a complete list of active cpus and memory nodes until later in
cpuset_init_smp() which is the right time to set up effective_cpus
and effective_mems.

To fix this cgroup v2 mask setup problem, the potentially incorrect
cpus_allowed &amp; mems_allowed setting in cpuset_init_smp() are removed.
For cgroup v2 systems, the initial cpuset_bind() call will set the masks
correctly.  For cgroup v1 systems, the second call to cpuset_bind()
will do the right setup.

<title>genirq: Synchronize interrupt thread startup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:99bc5b7098fc8f34c8433bcab9aa9e80ffb5e651</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8707898e22fd665bc1d7b18b809be4b56ce25bdd upstream.

A kernel hang can be observed when running setserial in a loop on a kernel
with force threaded interrupts. The sequence of events is:

   setserial
     open("/dev/ttyXXX")
       request_irq()
     do_stuff()
      -&gt; serial interrupt
         -&gt; wake(irq_thread)
	      desc-&gt;threads_active++;
     close()
       free_irq()
         kthread_stop(irq_thread)
     synchronize_irq() &lt;- hangs because desc-&gt;threads_active != 0

The thread is created in request_irq() and woken up, but does not get on a
CPU to reach the actual thread function, which would handle the pending
wake-up. kthread_stop() sets the should stop condition which makes the
thread immediately exit, which in turn leaves the stale threads_active
count around.

This problem was introduced with commit 519cc8652b3a, which addressed a
interrupt sharing issue in the PCIe code.

Before that commit free_irq() invoked synchronize_irq(), which waits for
the hard interrupt handler and also for associated threads to complete.

To address the PCIe issue synchronize_irq() was replaced with
__synchronize_hardirq(), which only waits for the hard interrupt handler to
complete, but not for threaded handlers.

This was done under the assumption, that the interrupt thread already
reached the thread function and waits for a wake-up, which is guaranteed to
be handled before acting on the stop condition. The problematic case, that
the thread would not reach the thread function, was obviously overlooked.

Make sure that the interrupt thread is really started and reaches
thread_fn() before returning from __setup_irq().

This utilizes the existing wait queue in the interrupt descriptor. The
wait queue is unused for non-shared interrupts. For shared interrupts the
usage might cause a spurious wake-up of a waiter in synchronize_irq() or the
completion of a threaded handler might cause a spurious wake-up of the
waiter for the ready flag. Both are harmless and have no functional impact.

commit ce33c845b030c9cf768370c951bc699470b09fa7 upstream.

The stacktrace event trigger is not dumping the stacktrace to the instance
where it was enabled, but to the global "instance."

Use the private_data, pointing to the trigger file, to figure out the
corresponding trace instance, and use it in the trigger action, like
snapshot_trigger does.

commit 9e949a3886356fe9112c6f6f34a6e23d1d35407f upstream.

The check in flush_smp_call_function_queue() for callbacks that are sent
to offline CPUs currently checks whether the queue is empty.

However, flush_smp_call_function_queue() has just deleted all the
callbacks from the queue and moved all the entries into a local list.
This checks would only be positive if some callbacks were added in the
short time after llist_del_all() was called. This does not seem to be
the intention of this check.

Change the check to look at the local list to which the entries were
moved instead of the queue from which all the callbacks were just
removed.

<content type='text'>
commit e57457641613fef0d147ede8bd6a3047df588b95 upstream.

cgroup process migration permission checks are performed at write time as
whether a given operation is allowed or not is dependent on the content of
the write - the PID. This currently uses current's cgroup namespace which is
a potential security weakness as it may allow scenarios where a less
privileged process tricks a more privileged one into writing into a fd that
it created.

This patch makes cgroup remember the cgroup namespace at the time of open
and uses it for migration permission checks instad of current's. Note that
this only applies to cgroup2 as cgroup1 doesn't have namespace support.

This also fixes a use-after-free bug on cgroupns reported in

 https://lore.kernel.org/r/00000000000048c15c05d0083397@google.com

Note that backporting this fix also requires the preceding patch.

commit 0d2b5955b36250a9428c832664f2079cbf723bec upstream.

of-&gt;priv is currently used by each interface file implementation to store
private information. This patch collects the current two private data usages
into struct cgroup_file_ctx which is allocated and freed by the common path.
This allows generic private data which applies to multiple files, which will
be used to in the following patch.

Note that cgroup_procs iterator is now embedded as procs.iter in the new
cgroup_file_ctx so that it doesn't need to be allocated and freed
separately.

v2: union dropped from cgroup_file_ctx and the procs iterator is embedded in
    cgroup_file_ctx as suggested by Linus.

v3: Michal pointed out that cgroup1's procs pidlist uses of-&gt;priv too.
    Converted. Didn't change to embedded allocation as cgroup1 pidlists get
    stored for caching.
