commit f3dd0c53370e70c0f9b7e931bbec12916f3bb8cc upstream.

Commit 74e19ef0ff80 ("uaccess: Add speculation barrier to
copy_from_user()") built fine on x86-64 and arm64, and that's the extent
of my local build testing.

It turns out those got the &lt;linux/nospec.h&gt; include incidentally through
other header files (&lt;linux/kvm_host.h&gt; in particular), but that was not
true of other architectures, resulting in build errors

  kernel/bpf/core.c: In function ‘___bpf_prog_run’:
  kernel/bpf/core.c:1913:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘barrier_nospec’

so just make sure to explicitly include the proper &lt;linux/nospec.h&gt;
header file to make everybody see it.

commit 74e19ef0ff8061ef55957c3abd71614ef0f42f47 upstream.

The results of "access_ok()" can be mis-speculated.  The result is that
you can end speculatively:

	if (access_ok(from, size))
		// Right here

even for bad from/size combinations.  On first glance, it would be ideal
to just add a speculation barrier to "access_ok()" so that its results
can never be mis-speculated.

But there are lots of system calls just doing access_ok() via
"copy_to_user()" and friends (example: fstat() and friends).  Those are
generally not problematic because they do not _consume_ data from
userspace other than the pointer.  They are also very quick and common
system calls that should not be needlessly slowed down.

"copy_from_user()" on the other hand uses a user-controller pointer and
is frequently followed up with code that might affect caches.  Take
something like this:

	if (!copy_from_user(&amp;kernelvar, uptr, size))
		do_something_with(kernelvar);

If userspace passes in an evil 'uptr' that *actually* points to a kernel
addresses, and then do_something_with() has cache (or other)
side-effects, it could allow userspace to infer kernel data values.

Add a barrier to the common copy_from_user() code to prevent
mis-speculated values which happen after the copy.

Also add a stub for architectures that do not define barrier_nospec().
This makes the macro usable in generic code.

Since the barrier is now usable in generic code, the x86 #ifdef in the
BPF code can also go away.

<title>alarmtimer: Prevent starvation by small intervals and SIG_IGN</title>

commit d125d1349abeb46945dc5e98f7824bf688266f13 upstream.

syzbot reported a RCU stall which is caused by setting up an alarmtimer
with a very small interval and ignoring the signal. The reproducer arms the
alarm timer with a relative expiry of 8ns and an interval of 9ns. Not a
problem per se, but that's an issue when the signal is ignored because then
the timer is immediately rearmed because there is no way to delay that
rearming to the signal delivery path.  See posix_timer_fn() and commit
58229a189942 ("posix-timers: Prevent softirq starvation by small intervals
and SIG_IGN") for details.

The reproducer does not set SIG_IGN explicitely, but it sets up the timers
signal with SIGCONT. That has the same effect as explicitely setting
SIG_IGN for a signal as SIGCONT is ignored if there is no handler set and
the task is not ptraced.

The log clearly shows that:

   [pid  5102] --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_TIMER, si_timerid=0, si_overrun=316014, si_int=0, si_ptr=NULL} ---

It works because the tasks are traced and therefore the signal is queued so
the tracer can see it, which delays the restart of the timer to the signal
delivery path. But then the tracer is killed:

   [pid  5087] kill(-5102, SIGKILL &lt;unfinished ...&gt;
   ...
   ./strace-static-x86_64: Process 5107 detached

and after it's gone the stall can be observed:

   syzkaller login: [   79.439102][    C0] hrtimer: interrupt took 68471 ns
   [  184.460538][    C1] rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

   [  184.658237][    C1] rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran:

   [  184.670045][    C0]  alarmtimer_fired+0x327/0x670

posix_timer_fn() prevents that by checking whether the interval for
timers which have the signal ignored is smaller than a jiffie and
artifically delay it by shifting the next expiry out by a jiffie. That's
accurate vs. the overrun accounting, but slightly inaccurate
vs. timer_gettimer(2).

The comment in that function says what needs to be done and there was a fix
available for the regular userspace induced SIG_IGN mechanism, but that did
not work due to the implicit ignore for SIGCONT and similar signals. This
needs to be worked on, but for now the only available workaround is to do
exactly what posix_timer_fn() does:

Increase the interval of self-rearming timers, which have their signal
ignored, to at least a jiffie.

Interestingly this has been fixed before via commit ff86bf0c65f1
("alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals") already, but that fix got
lost in a later rework.

<id>urn:sha1:ec9c7aa08819f976b2492fa63c41b5712d2924b5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c2dbe32d5db5c4ead121cf86dabd5ab691fb47fe upstream.

If a non-root cgroup gets removed when there is a thread that registered
trigger and is polling on a pressure file within the cgroup, the polling
waitqueue gets freed in the following path:

 do_rmdir
   cgroup_rmdir
     kernfs_drain_open_files
       cgroup_file_release
         cgroup_pressure_release
           psi_trigger_destroy

However, the polling thread still has a reference to the pressure file and
will access the freed waitqueue when the file is closed or upon exit:

 fput
   ep_eventpoll_release
     ep_free
       ep_remove_wait_queue
         remove_wait_queue

This results in use-after-free as pasted below.

The fundamental problem here is that cgroup_file_release() (and
consequently waitqueue's lifetime) is not tied to the file's real lifetime.
Using wake_up_pollfree() here might be less than ideal, but it is in line
with the comment at commit 42288cb44c4b ("wait: add wake_up_pollfree()")
since the waitqueue's lifetime is not tied to file's one and can be
considered as another special case. While this would be fixable by somehow
making cgroup_file_release() be tied to the fput(), it would require
sizable refactoring at cgroups or higher layer which might be more
justifiable if we identify more cases like this.

commit 3e46d910d8acf94e5360126593b68bf4fee4c4a1 upstream.

poll() and select() on per_cpu trace_pipe and trace_pipe_raw do not work
since kernel 6.1-rc6. This issue is seen after the commit
42fb0a1e84ff525ebe560e2baf9451ab69127e2b ("tracing/ring-buffer: Have
polling block on watermark").

This issue is firstly detected and reported, when testing the CXL error
events in the rasdaemon and also erified using the test application for poll()
and select().

This issue occurs for the per_cpu case, when calling the ring_buffer_poll_wait(),
in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c, with the buffer_percent &gt; 0 and then wait until the
percentage of pages are available. The default value set for the buffer_percent is 50
in the kernel/trace/trace.c.

As a fix, allow userspace application could set buffer_percent as 0 through
the buffer_percent_fops, so that the task will wake up as soon as data is added
to any of the specific cpu buffer.

<title>bpf: Do not reject when the stack read size is different from the tracked scalar size</title>

[ Upstream commit f30d4968e9aee737e174fc97942af46cfb49b484 ]

Below is a simplified case from a report in bcc [0]:

  r4 = 20
  *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r4
  *(u32 *)(r10 -8) = r4  /* r4 state is tracked */
  r4 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8)  /* Read more than the tracked 32bit scalar.
			  * verifier rejects as 'corrupted spill memory'.
			  */

After commit 354e8f1970f8 ("bpf: Support &lt;8-byte scalar spill and refill"),
the 8-byte aligned 32bit spill is also tracked by the verifier and the
register state is stored.

However, if 8 bytes are read from the stack instead of the tracked 4 byte
scalar, then verifier currently rejects the program as "corrupted spill
memory". This patch fixes this case by allowing it to read but marks the
register as unknown.

Also note that, if the prog is trying to corrupt/leak an earlier spilled
pointer by spilling another &lt;8 bytes register on top, this has already
been rejected in the check_stack_write_fixed_off().

<title>bpf: Fix to preserve reg parent/live fields when copying range info</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 71f656a50176915d6813751188b5758daa8d012b ]

Register range information is copied in several places. The intent is
to transfer range/id information from one register/stack spill to
another. Currently this is done using direct register assignment, e.g.:

static void find_equal_scalars(..., struct bpf_reg_state *known_reg)
{
	...
	struct bpf_reg_state *reg;
	...
			*reg = *known_reg;
	...
}

However, such assignments also copy the following bpf_reg_state fields:

struct bpf_reg_state {
	...
	struct bpf_reg_state *parent;
	...
	enum bpf_reg_liveness live;
	...
};

Copying of these fields is accidental and incorrect, as could be
demonstrated by the following example:

     0: call ktime_get_ns()
     1: r6 = r0
     2: call ktime_get_ns()
     3: r7 = r0
     4: if r0 &gt; r6 goto +1             ; r0 &amp; r6 are unbound thus generated
                                       ; branch states are identical
     5: *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 0xdeadbeef ; 64-bit write to fp[-8]
    --- checkpoint ---
     6: r1 = 42                        ; r1 marked as written
     7: *(u8 *)(r10 - 8) = r1          ; 8-bit write, fp[-8] parent &amp; live
                                       ; overwritten
     8: r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8)
     9: r0 = 0
    10: exit

This example is unsafe because 64-bit write to fp[-8] at (5) is
conditional, thus not all bytes of fp[-8] are guaranteed to be set
when it is read at (8). However, currently the example passes
verification.

First, the execution path 1-10 is examined by verifier.
Suppose that a new checkpoint is created by is_state_visited() at (6).
After checkpoint creation:
- r1.parent points to checkpoint.r1,
- fp[-8].parent points to checkpoint.fp[-8].
At (6) the r1.live is set to REG_LIVE_WRITTEN.
At (7) the fp[-8].parent is set to r1.parent and fp[-8].live is set to
REG_LIVE_WRITTEN, because of the following code called in
check_stack_write_fixed_off():

static void save_register_state(struct bpf_func_state *state,
				int spi, struct bpf_reg_state *reg,
				int size)
{
	...
	state-&gt;stack[spi].spilled_ptr = *reg;  // &lt;--- parent &amp; live copied
	if (size == BPF_REG_SIZE)
		state-&gt;stack[spi].spilled_ptr.live |= REG_LIVE_WRITTEN;
	...
}

Note the intent to mark stack spill as written only if 8 bytes are
spilled to a slot, however this intent is spoiled by a 'live' field copy.
At (8) the checkpoint.fp[-8] should be marked as REG_LIVE_READ but
this does not happen:
- fp[-8] in a current state is already marked as REG_LIVE_WRITTEN;
- fp[-8].parent points to checkpoint.r1, parentage chain is used by
  mark_reg_read() to mark checkpoint states.
At (10) the verification is finished for path 1-10 and jump 4-6 is
examined. The checkpoint.fp[-8] never gets REG_LIVE_READ mark and this
spill is pruned from the cached states by clean_live_states(). Hence
verifier state obtained via path 1-4,6 is deemed identical to one
obtained via path 1-6 and program marked as safe.

Note: the example should be executed with BPF_F_TEST_STATE_FREQ flag
set to force creation of intermediate verifier states.

This commit revisits the locations where bpf_reg_state instances are
copied and replaces the direct copies with a call to a function
copy_register_state(dst, src) that preserves 'parent' and 'live'
fields of the 'dst'.

[ Upstream commit 354e8f1970f821d4952458f77b1ab6c3eb24d530 ]

The verifier currently does not save the reg state when
spilling &lt;8byte bounded scalar to the stack.  The bpf program
will be incorrectly rejected when this scalar is refilled to
the reg and then used to offset into a packet header.
The later patch has a simplified bpf prog from a real use case
to demonstrate this case.  The current work around is
to reparse the packet again such that this offset scalar
is close to where the packet data will be accessed to
avoid the spill.  Thus, the header is parsed twice.

The llvm patch [1] will align the &lt;8bytes spill to
the 8-byte stack address.  This can simplify the verifier
support by avoiding to store multiple reg states for
each 8 byte stack slot.

This patch changes the verifier to save the reg state when
spilling &lt;8bytes scalar to the stack.  This reg state saving
is limited to spill aligned to the 8-byte stack address.
The current refill logic has already called coerce_reg_to_size(),
so coerce_reg_to_size() is not called on state-&gt;stack[spi].spilled_ptr
during spill.

When refilling in check_stack_read_fixed_off(),  it checks
the refill size is the same as the number of bytes marked with
STACK_SPILL before restoring the reg state.  When restoring
the reg state to state-&gt;regs[dst_regno], it needs
to avoid the state-&gt;regs[dst_regno].subreg_def being
over written because it has been marked by the check_reg_arg()
earlier [check_mem_access() is called after check_reg_arg() in
do_check()].  Reordering check_mem_access() and check_reg_arg()
will need a lot of changes in test_verifier's tests because
of the difference in verifier's error message.  Thus, the
patch here is to save the state-&gt;regs[dst_regno].subreg_def
first in check_stack_read_fixed_off().

There are cases that the verifier needs to scrub the spilled slot
from STACK_SPILL to STACK_MISC.  After this patch the spill is not always
in 8 bytes now, so it can no longer assume the other 7 bytes are always
marked as STACK_SPILL.  In particular, the scrub needs to avoid marking
an uninitialized byte from STACK_INVALID to STACK_MISC.  Otherwise, the
verifier will incorrectly accept bpf program reading uninitialized bytes
from the stack.  A new helper scrub_spilled_slot() is created for this
purpose.

[ Upstream commit bdb7fdb0aca8b96cef9995d3a57e251c2289322f ]

In current bpf_send_signal() and bpf_send_signal_thread() helper
implementation, irq_work is used to handle nmi context. Hao Sun
reported in [1] that the current task at the entry of the helper
might be gone during irq_work callback processing. To fix the issue,
a reference is acquired for the current task before enqueuing into
the irq_work so that the queued task is still available during
irq_work callback processing.

<title>bpf: Fix incorrect state pruning for &lt;8B spill/fill</title>

commit 345e004d023343d38088fdfea39688aa11e06ccf upstream.

Commit 354e8f1970f8 ("bpf: Support &lt;8-byte scalar spill and refill")
introduced support in the verifier to track &lt;8B spill/fills of scalars.
The backtracking logic for the precision bit was however skipping
spill/fills of less than 8B. That could cause state pruning to consider
two states equivalent when they shouldn't be.

As an example, consider the following bytecode snippet:

  0:  r7 = r1
  1:  call bpf_get_prandom_u32
  2:  r6 = 2
  3:  if r0 == 0 goto pc+1
  4:  r6 = 3
  ...
  8: [state pruning point]
  ...
  /* u32 spill/fill */
  10: *(u32 *)(r10 - 8) = r6
  11: r8 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 8)
  12: r0 = 0
  13: if r8 == 3 goto pc+1
  14: r0 = 1
  15: exit

The verifier first walks the path with R6=3. Given the support for &lt;8B
spill/fills, at instruction 13, it knows the condition is true and skips
instruction 14. At that point, the backtracking logic kicks in but stops
at the fill instruction since it only propagates the precision bit for
8B spill/fill. When the verifier then walks the path with R6=2, it will
consider it safe at instruction 8 because R6 is not marked as needing
precision. Instruction 14 is thus never walked and is then incorrectly
removed as 'dead code'.

It's also possible to lead the verifier to accept e.g. an out-of-bound
memory access instead of causing an incorrect dead code elimination.

This regression was found via Cilium's bpf-next CI where it was causing
a conntrack map update to be silently skipped because the code had been
removed by the verifier.

This commit fixes it by enabling support for &lt;8B spill/fills in the
bactracking logic. In case of a &lt;8B spill/fill, the full 8B stack slot
will be marked as needing precision. Then, in __mark_chain_precision,
any tracked register spilled in a marked slot will itself be marked as
needing precision, regardless of the spill size. This logic makes two
assumptions: (1) only 8B-aligned spill/fill are tracked and (2) spilled
registers are only tracked if the spill and fill sizes are equal. Commit
ef979017b837 ("bpf: selftest: Add verifier tests for &lt;8-byte scalar
spill and refill") covers the first assumption and the next commit in
this patchset covers the second.
