commit ea6eb5e7d15e1838de335609994b4546e2abcaaf upstream.

The subsystem-specific message prefix for uprobes was also
"trace_kprobe: " instead of "trace_uprobe: " as described in
the original commit message.

<id>urn:sha1:2e47e83acba8cdd302791e7924c8e27b6ba1bc42</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0722069a5374b904ec1a67f91249f90e1cfae259 upstream.

When printing multiple uprobe arguments as strings the output for the
earlier arguments would also include all later string arguments.

This is best explained in an example:

Consider adding a uprobe to a function receiving two strings as
parameters which is at offset 0xa0 in strlib.so and we want to print
both parameters when the uprobe is hit (on x86_64):

$ echo 'p:func /lib/strlib.so:0xa0 +0(%di):string +0(%si):string' &gt; \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

When the function is called as func("foo", "bar") and we hit the probe,
the trace file shows a line like the following:

  [...] func: (0x7f7e683706a0) arg1="foobar" arg2="bar"

Note the extra "bar" printed as part of arg1. This behaviour stacks up
for additional string arguments.

The strings are stored in a dynamically growing part of the uprobe
buffer by fetch_store_string() after copying them from userspace via
strncpy_from_user(). The return value of strncpy_from_user() is then
directly used as the required size for the string. However, this does
not take the terminating null byte into account as the documentation
for strncpy_from_user() cleary states that it "[...] returns the
length of the string (not including the trailing NUL)" even though the
null byte will be copied to the destination.

Therefore, subsequent calls to fetch_store_string() will overwrite
the terminating null byte of the most recently fetched string with
the first character of the current string, leading to the
"accumulation" of strings in earlier arguments in the output.

Fix this by incrementing the return value of strncpy_from_user() by
one if we did not hit the maximum buffer size.

commit 7146db3317c67b517258cb5e1b08af387da0618b upstream.

Recently syzkaller was able to create unkillablle processes by
creating a timer that is delivered as a thread local signal on SIGHUP,
and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER.  Ultimately causing a loop failing
to deliver SIGHUP but always trying.

When the stack overflows delivery of SIGHUP fails and force_sigsegv is
called.  Unfortunately because SIGSEGV is numerically higher than
SIGHUP next_signal tries again to deliver a SIGHUP.

From a quality of implementation standpoint attempting to deliver the
timer SIGHUP signal is wrong.  We should attempt to deliver the
synchronous SIGSEGV signal we just forced.

We can make that happening in a fairly straight forward manner by
instead of just looking at the signal number we also look at the
si_code.  In particular for exceptions (aka synchronous signals) the
si_code is always greater than 0.

That still has the potential to pick up a number of asynchronous
signals as in a few cases the same si_codes that are used
for synchronous signals are also used for asynchronous signals,
and SI_KERNEL is also included in the list of possible si_codes.

Still the heuristic is much better and timer signals are definitely
excluded.  Which is enough to prevent all known ways for someone
sending a process signals fast enough to cause unexpected and
arguably incorrect behavior.

commit 35634ffa1751b6efd8cf75010b509dcb0263e29b upstream.

Recently syzkaller was able to create unkillablle processes by
creating a timer that is delivered as a thread local signal on SIGHUP,
and receiving SIGHUP SA_NODEFERER.  Ultimately causing a loop
failing to deliver SIGHUP but always trying.

Upon examination it turns out part of the problem is actually most of
the solution.  Since 2.5 signal delivery has found all fatal signals,
marked the signal group for death, and queued SIGKILL in every threads
thread queue relying on signal-&gt;group_exit_code to preserve the
information of which was the actual fatal signal.

The conversion of all fatal signals to SIGKILL results in the
synchronous signal heuristic in next_signal kicking in and preferring
SIGHUP to SIGKILL.  Which is especially problematic as all
fatal signals have already been transformed into SIGKILL.

Instead of dequeueing signals and depending upon SIGKILL to
be the first signal dequeued, first test if the signal group
has already been marked for death.  This guarantees that
nothing in the signal queue can prevent a process that needs
to exit from exiting.

<title>signal: Always attempt to allocate siginfo for SIGSTOP</title>

commit a692933a87691681e880feb708081681ff32400a upstream.

Since 2.5.34 the code has had the potential to not allocate siginfo
for SIGSTOP signals.  Except for ptrace this is perfectly fine as only
ptrace can use PTRACE_PEEK_SIGINFO and see what the contents of
the delivered siginfo are.

Users of PTRACE_PEEK_SIGINFO that care about the contents siginfo
for SIGSTOP are rare, but they do exist.  A seccomp self test
has cared and lldb cares.

Jack Andersen &lt;jackoalan@gmail.com&gt; writes:

&gt; The patch titled
&gt; `signal: Never allocate siginfo for SIGKILL or SIGSTOP`
&gt; created a regression for users of PTRACE_GETSIGINFO needing to
&gt; discern signals that were raised via the tgkill syscall.
&gt;
&gt; A notable user of this tgkill+ptrace combination is lldb while
&gt; debugging a multithreaded program. Without the ability to detect a
&gt; SIGSTOP originating from tgkill, lldb does not have a way to
&gt; synchronize on a per-thread basis and falls back to SIGSTOP-ing the
&gt; entire process.

Everyone affected by this please note.  The kernel can still fail to
allocate a siginfo structure.  The allocation is with GFP_KERNEL and
is best effort only.  If memory is tight when the signal allocation
comes in this will fail to allocate a siginfo.

So I strongly recommend looking at more robust solutions for
synchronizing with a single thread such as PTRACE_INTERRUPT.  Or if
that does not work persuading your friendly local kernel developer to
build the interface you need.

commit 9dff0aa95a324e262ffb03f425d00e4751f3294e upstream.

The perf tool uses /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb to determine how
large its ringbuffer mmap should be. This can be configured to arbitrary
values, which can be larger than the maximum possible allocation from
kmalloc.

When this is configured to a suitably large value (e.g. thanks to the
perf fuzzer), attempting to use perf record triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
__alloc_pages_nodemask():

   WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5666 at mm/page_alloc.c:4511 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x3f8/0xbc8

Let's avoid this by checking that the requested allocation is possible
before calling kzalloc.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Fix "SMT disabled by BIOS" detection for KVM</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f29a8be0e5d28f89c835cbae700e67a383280916</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b284909abad48b07d3071a9fc9b5692b3e64914b upstream.

With the following commit:

  73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")

... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS,
in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled.  However, that
code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only
primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later.

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably
distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt
"sibling not yet brought online" case.  So the above-mentioned commit
was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases,
preventing future virt sibling hotplugs.

Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to
be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS:

  1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of
     "notsupported"; and

  2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning.

I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a
problem.  Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT
wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online
later.  So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on"
to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU
supports SMT).

The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to
query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are
currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value.

So fix it by:

  a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix:

     73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
     bc2d8d262cba ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation")

     and

  b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state --
     instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF
     warning is needed.  This also requires the 'sched_smt_present'
     variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.

commit 1a1fb985f2e2b85ec0d3dc2e519ee48389ec2434 upstream.

commit 56222b212e8e ("futex: Drop hb-&gt;lock before enqueueing on the
rtmutex") changed the locking rules in the futex code so that the hash
bucket lock is not longer held while the waiter is enqueued into the
rtmutex wait list. This made the lock and the unlock path symmetric, but
unfortunately the possible early exit from __rt_mutex_proxy_start() due to
a detected deadlock was not updated accordingly. That allows a concurrent
unlocker to observe inconsitent state which triggers the warning in the
unlock path.

  lock(hb-&gt;lock)
  unqueue(hb_waiter)

The problem is caused by the remove(rtmutex_waiter) in the failure case of
__rt_mutex_proxy_start() as this lets the unlocker observe a waiter in the
hash bucket but no waiter on the rtmutex, i.e. inconsistent state.

The original commit handles this correctly for the other early return cases
(timeout, signal) by delaying the removal of the rtmutex waiter until the
returning task reacquired the hash bucket lock.

Treat the failure case of __rt_mutex_proxy_start() in the same way and let
the existing cleanup code handle the eventual handover of the rtmutex
gracefully. The regular rt_mutex_proxy_start() gains the rtmutex waiter
removal for the failure case, so that the other callsites are still
operating correctly.

Add proper comments to the code so all these details are fully documented.

Thanks to Peter for helping with the analysis and writing the really
valuable code comments.

Rework so that write_comp_data() that are called from
__sanitizer_cov_trace_*_cmp*() are marked as 'notrace'.

Commit 903e8ff86753 ("kernel/kcov.c: mark funcs in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() as notrace")
missed to mark write_comp_data() as 'notrace'. When that patch was
created gcc-7 was used. In lib/Kconfig.debug
config KCOV_ENABLE_COMPARISONS
	depends on $(cc-option,-fsanitize-coverage=trace-cmp)

That code path isn't hit with gcc-7. However, it were that with gcc-8.

[ Upstream commit 168e06f7937d96c7222037d8a05565e8a6eb00fe ]

Based on commit 401c636a0eeb ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks
before panic"), we could get the call stack of hung task.

However, if the console loglevel is not high, we still can not see the
useful panic information in practice, and in most cases users don't set
console loglevel to high level.

This patch is to force console verbose before system panic, so that the
real useful information can be seen in the console, instead of being
like the following, which doesn't have hung task information.

  INFO: task init:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
        Tainted: G     U  W         4.19.0-quilt-2e5dc0ac-g51b6c21d76cc #1
  "echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
