commit ee2a098851bfbe8bcdd964c0121f4246f00ff41e upstream.

Let's say that the caller has storage for num_elem stack frames.  Then,
the BPF stack helper functions walk the stack for only num_elem frames.
This means that if skip &gt; 0, one keeps only 'num_elem - skip' frames.

This is because it sets init_nr in the perf_callchain_entry to the end
of the buffer to save num_elem entries only.  I believe it was because
the perf callchain code unwound the stack frames until it reached the
global max size (sysctl_perf_event_max_stack).

However it now has perf_callchain_entry_ctx.max_stack to limit the
iteration locally.  This simplifies the code to handle init_nr in the
BPF callstack entries and removes the confusion with the perf_event's
__PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY which sets init_nr to 0.

Also change the comment on bpf_get_stack() in the header file to be
more explicit what the return value means.

<title>tracing: Have type enum modifications copy the strings</title>

commit 795301d3c28996219d555023ac6863401b6076bc upstream.

When an enum is used in the visible parts of a trace event that is
exported to user space, the user space applications like perf and
trace-cmd do not have a way to know what the value of the enum is. To
solve this, at boot up (or module load) the printk formats are modified to
replace the enum with their numeric value in the string output.

Array fields of the event are defined by [&lt;nr-elements&gt;] in the type
portion of the format file so that the user space parsers can correctly
parse the array into the appropriate size chunks. But in some trace
events, an enum is used in defining the size of the array, which once
again breaks the parsing of user space tooling.

This was solved the same way as the print formats were, but it modified
the type strings of the trace event. This caused crashes in some
architectures because, as supposed to the print string, is a const string
value. This was not detected on x86, as it appears that const strings are
still writable (at least in boot up), but other architectures this is not
the case, and writing to a const string will cause a kernel fault.

To fix this, use kstrdup() to copy the type before modifying it. If the
trace event is for the core kernel there's no need to free it because the
string will be in use for the life of the machine being on line. For
modules, create a link list to store all the strings being allocated for
modules and when the module is removed, free them.

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.

<title>tracing: Have TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM affect trace event types as well</title>

[ Upstream commit b3bc8547d3be60898818885f5bf22d0a62e2eb48 ]

The macro TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM is used to convert enums in the kernel to
their actual value when they are exported to user space via the trace
event format file.

Currently only the enums in the "print fmt" (TP_printk in the TRACE_EVENT
macro) have the enums converted. But the enums can be used to denote array
size:

        field:unsigned int fc_ineligible_rc[EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX]; offset:12;      size:36;        signed:0;

The EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX has no meaning to userspace but it needs to know
that information to know how to parse the array.

Have the array indexes also be parsed as well.

<title>locking/lockdep: Iterate lock_classes directly when reading lockdep files</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5092c6707bf15360b3b493d32f6d930519bfd1cc</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fb7275acd6fb988313dddd8d3d19efa70d9015ad ]

When dumping lock_classes information via /proc/lockdep, we can't take
the lockdep lock as the lock hold time is indeterminate. Iterating
over all_lock_classes without holding lock can be dangerous as there
is a slight chance that it may branch off to other lists leading to
infinite loop or even access invalid memory if changes are made to
all_lock_classes list in parallel.

To avoid this problem, iteration of lock classes is now done directly
on the lock_classes array itself. The lock_classes_in_use bitmap is
checked to see if the lock class is being used. To avoid iterating
the full array all the times, a new max_lock_class_idx value is added
to track the maximum lock_class index that is currently being used.

We can theoretically take the lockdep lock for iterating all_lock_classes
when other lockdep files (lockdep_stats and lock_stat) are accessed as
the lock hold time will be shorter for them. For consistency, they are
also modified to iterate the lock_classes array directly.

KCSAN reports data races between the rcu_segcblist_clear_flags() and
rcu_segcblist_set_flags() functions, though misreporting the latter
as a call to rcu_segcblist_is_enabled() from call_rcu().  This commit
converts the updates of this field to WRITE_ONCE(), relying on the
resulting unmarked reads to continue to detect buggy concurrent writes
to this field.

<title>rcu: Kill rnp-&gt;ofl_seq and use only rcu_state.ofl_lock for exclusion</title>

[ Upstream commit 82980b1622d97017053c6792382469d7dc26a486 ]

If we allow architectures to bring APs online in parallel, then we end
up requiring rcu_cpu_starting() to be reentrant. But currently, the
manipulation of rnp-&gt;ofl_seq is not thread-safe.

However, rnp-&gt;ofl_seq is also fairly much pointless anyway since both
rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() hold rcu_state.ofl_lock for
fairly much the whole time that rnp-&gt;ofl_seq is set to an odd number
to indicate that an operation is in progress.

So drop rnp-&gt;ofl_seq completely, and use only rcu_state.ofl_lock.

This has a couple of minor complexities: lockdep will complain when we
take rcu_state.ofl_lock, and currently accepts the 'excuse' of having
an odd value in rnp-&gt;ofl_seq. So switch it to an arch_spinlock_t to
avoid that false positive complaint. Since we're killing rnp-&gt;ofl_seq
of course that 'excuse' has to be changed too, so make it check for
arch_spin_is_locked(rcu_state.ofl_lock).

There's no arch_spin_lock_irqsave() so we have to manually save and
restore local interrupts around the locking.

At Paul's request based on Neeraj's analysis, make rcu_gp_init not just
wait but *exclude* any CPU online/offline activity, which was fairly
much true already by virtue of it holding rcu_state.ofl_lock.

Currently kdb_putarea_size() uses copy_from_kernel_nofault() to write *to*
arbitrary kernel memory. This is obviously wrong and means the memory
modify ('mm') command is a serious risk to debugger stability: if we poke
to a bad address we'll double-fault and lose our debug session.

Fix this the (very) obvious way.

Note that there are two Fixes: tags because the API was renamed and this
patch will only trivially backport as far as the rename (and this is
probably enough). Nevertheless Christoph's rename did not introduce this
problem so I wanted to record that!
