<content type='text'>
commit 4296f23ed49a15d36949458adcc66ff993dee2a8 upstream.

sugov_start() only initializes struct sugov_cpu per-CPU structures
for shared policies, but it should do that for single-CPU policies too.

That in particular makes the IO-wait boost mechanism work in the
cases when cpufreq policies correspond to individual CPUs.

commit 6c4f0fa643cb9e775dcc976e3db00d649468ff1d upstream.

cached_raw_freq applies to the entire cpufreq policy and not individual
CPUs. Apart from wasting per-cpu memory, it is actually wrong to keep it
in struct sugov_cpu as we may end up comparing next_freq with a stale
cached_raw_freq of a random CPU.

Move cached_raw_freq to struct sugov_policy.

commit 40da1b11f01e43aad1aa6cea64681b6125e8a2a7 upstream.

If a custom CPU target is specified and that one is not available _or_
can't be interrupted then the code returns to userland without dropping a
lock as notices by lockdep:

|echo 133 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/hotplug/target
| ================================================
| [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
| ------------------------------------------------
| bash/503 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
| 1 lock held by bash/503:
|  #0:  (device_hotplug_lock){+.+...}, at: [&lt;ffffffff815b5650&gt;] lock_device_hotplug_sysfs+0x10/0x40

So release the lock then.

commit cc1582c231ea041fbc68861dfaf957eaf902b829 upstream.

When doing sampling, for example:

  perf record -e cycles:u ...

On workloads that do a lot of kernel entry/exits we see kernel
samples, even though :u is specified. This is due to skid existing.

This might be a security issue because it can leak kernel addresses even
though kernel sampling support is disabled.

The patch drops the kernel samples if exclude_kernel is specified.

For example, test on Haswell desktop:

  perf record -e cycles:u &lt;mgen&gt;
  perf report --stdio

Before patch applied:

    99.77%  mgen     mgen              [.] buf_read
     0.20%  mgen     mgen              [.] rand_buf_init

     0.00%  mgen     ld-2.23.so        [.] _start

We can see kernel symbols apic_timer_interrupt and page_fault.

After patch applied:

    99.79%  mgen     mgen           [.] buf_read
     0.19%  mgen     mgen           [.] rand_buf_init

<title>cpuset: consider dying css as offline</title>

<id>urn:sha1:829a1cab22c4731489673e4a538a0c6d999af5ac</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 41c25707d21716826e3c1f60967f5550610ec1c9 upstream.

In most cases, a cgroup controller don't care about the liftimes of
cgroups.  For the controller, a css becomes online when -&gt;css_online()
is called on it and offline when -&gt;css_offline() is called.

However, cpuset is special in that the user interface it exposes cares
whether certain cgroups exist or not.  Combined with the RCU delay
between cgroup removal and css offlining, this can lead to user
visible behavior oddities where operations which should succeed after
cgroup removals fail for some time period.  The effects of cgroup
removals are delayed when seen from userland.

This patch adds css_is_dying() which tests whether offline is pending
and updates is_cpuset_online() so that the function returns false also
while offline is pending.  This gets rid of the userland visible
delays.

The kill_css() function may be called more than once under the condition
that the css was killed but not physically removed yet followed by the
removal of the cgroup that is hosting the css. This patch prevents any
harmm from being done when that happens.

<title>ptrace: Properly initialize ptracer_cred on fork</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c70d9d809fdeecedb96972457ee45c49a232d97f upstream.

When I introduced ptracer_cred I failed to consider the weirdness of
fork where the task_struct copies the old value by default.  This
winds up leaving ptracer_cred set even when a process forks and
the child process does not wind up being ptraced.

Because ptracer_cred is not set on non-ptraced processes whose
parents were ptraced this has broken the ability of the enlightenment
window manager to start setuid children.

Fix this by properly initializing ptracer_cred in ptrace_init_task

This must be done with a little bit of care to preserve the current value
of ptracer_cred when ptrace carries through fork.  Re-reading the
ptracer_cred from the ptracing process at this point is inconsistent
with how PT_PTRACE_CAP has been maintained all of these years.

<content type='text'>
commit 30e7d894c1478c88d50ce94ddcdbd7f9763d9cdd upstream.

Enabling the tracer selftest triggers occasionally the warning in
text_poke(), which warns when the to be modified page is not marked
reserved.

The reason is that the tracer selftest installs kprobes on functions marked
__init for testing. These probes are removed after the tests, but that
removal schedules the delayed kprobes_optimizer work, which will do the
actual text poke. If the work is executed after the init text is freed,
then the warning triggers. The bug can be reproduced reliably when the work
delay is increased.

Flush the optimizer work and wait for the optimizing/unoptimizing lists to
become empty before returning from the kprobes tracer selftest. That
ensures that all operations which were queued due to the probes removal
have completed.

commit 2c4569ca26986d18243f282dd727da27e9adae4c upstream.

irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() sets up the chained interrupt and then
stores the handler data.

That's racy against an immediate interrupt which gets handled before the
store of the handler data happened. The handler will dereference a NULL
pointer and crash.

Cure it by storing handler data before installing the chained handler.
