<content type='text'>
commit 30aba6656f61ed44cba445a3c0d38b296fa9e8f5 upstream.

Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world
writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the
directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag.  The purpose
is to make data spoofing attacks harder.  This protection can be turned
on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like
the symlinks/hardlinks protection.  This patch is based on Openwall's
"HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer.

This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented
by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation:

CVE-2000-1134
CVE-2007-3852
CVE-2008-0525
CVE-2009-0416
CVE-2011-4834
CVE-2015-1838
CVE-2015-7442
CVE-2016-7489

This list is not meant to be complete.  It's difficult to track down all
vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any
mention of this particular attack vector.  In fact, before
hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite
vehicle to exploit them.

<title>sched/core: Allow __sched_setscheduler() in interrupts when PI is not used</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4f29112ec9bd028e7fdacd39bac22d85ebdb1cb5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 896bbb2522587e3b8eb2a0d204d43ccc1042a00d upstream.

When priority inheritance was added back in 2.6.18 to sched_setscheduler(), it
added a path to taking an rt-mutex wait_lock, which is not IRQ safe. As PI
is not a common occurrence, lockdep will likely never trigger if
sched_setscheduler was called from interrupt context. A BUG_ON() was added
to trigger if __sched_setscheduler() was ever called from interrupt context
because there was a possibility to take the wait_lock.

Today the wait_lock is irq safe, but the path to taking it in
sched_setscheduler() is the same as the path to taking it from normal
context. The wait_lock is taken with raw_spin_lock_irq() and released with
raw_spin_unlock_irq() which will indiscriminately enable interrupts,
which would be bad in interrupt context.

The problem is that normalize_rt_tasks, which is called by triggering the
sysrq nice-all-RT-tasks was changed to call __sched_setscheduler(), and this
is done from interrupt context!

Now __sched_setscheduler() takes a "pi" parameter that is used to know if
the priority inheritance should be called or not. As the BUG_ON() only cares
about calling the PI code, it should only bug if called from interrupt
context with the "pi" parameter set to true.

<title>genirq: Fix race on spurious interrupt detection</title>

<id>urn:sha1:59ba12331e8fb92cd18c062db937d9d7e601c940</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 746a923b863a1065ef77324e1e43f19b1a3eab5c upstream.

Commit 1e77d0a1ed74 ("genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of
threaded irqs") made detection of spurious interrupts work for threaded
handlers by:

a) incrementing a counter every time the thread returns IRQ_HANDLED, and
b) checking whether that counter has increased every time the thread is
   woken.

However for oneshot interrupts, the commit unmasks the interrupt before
incrementing the counter.  If another interrupt occurs right after
unmasking but before the counter is incremented, that interrupt is
incorrectly considered spurious:

time
 |  irq_thread()
 |    irq_thread_fn()
 |      action-&gt;thread_fn()
 |      irq_finalize_oneshot()
 |        unmask_threaded_irq()            /* interrupt is unmasked */
 |
 |                  /* interrupt fires, incorrectly deemed spurious */
 |
 |    atomic_inc(&amp;desc-&gt;threads_handled); /* counter is incremented */
 v

This is observed with a hi3110 CAN controller receiving data at high volume
(from a separate machine sending with "cangen -g 0 -i -x"): The controller
signals a huge number of interrupts (hundreds of millions per day) and
every second there are about a dozen which are deemed spurious.

In theory with high CPU load and the presence of higher priority tasks, the
number of incorrectly detected spurious interrupts might increase beyond
the 99,900 threshold and cause disablement of the interrupt.

In practice it just increments the spurious interrupt count. But that can
cause people to waste time investigating it over and over.

Fix it by moving the accounting before the invocation of
irq_finalize_oneshot().

commit 277fcdb2cfee38ccdbe07e705dbd4896ba0c9930 upstream.

log_buf_len_setup does not check input argument before passing it to
simple_strtoull. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "log_buf_len",
without its value, is set in command line and thus causes the following
panic.

commit 6a32c2469c3fbfee8f25bcd20af647326650a6cf upstream.

Building any configuration with 'make W=1' produces a warning:

kernel/bounds.c:16:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'foo' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

When also passing -Werror, this prevents us from building any other files.
Nobody ever calls the function, but we can't make it 'static' either
since we want the compiler output.

Calling it 'main' instead however avoids the warning, because gcc
does not insist on having a declaration for main.

only supposed to be able to ignore signals sent from itself and

<id>urn:sha1:ef42ef8451faae09fe3a0b00c603ceeda8f5f5c5</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9506a7425b094d2f1d9c877ed5a78f416669269b ]

It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem
found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite
significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the
kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64
server nearly doubled.

Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the
frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function
probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks
off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg
to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0.
This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held
debug_locks.  As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different
places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance.

To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired()
and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before
proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check
debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off().

enabled. Commit c8cc7d4de7a4 ("sched/idle: Reorganize the idle loop")
removed the #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_IDLE around cpuidle_idle_call() with the
compiler optimising away __this_cpu_read(cpuidle_devices). However, with
CONFIG_UBSAN &amp;&amp; !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE, this optimisation no longer happens
and the kernel fails to link since cpuidle_devices is not defined.

This patch introduces an accessor function for the current CPU cpuidle
device (returning NULL when !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE) and uses it in
cpuidle_idle_call().
