commit 5af385f5f4cddf908f663974847a4083b2ff2c79 upstream.

bits_per() rounds up to the next power of two when passed a power of
two.  This causes crashes on some machines and configurations.

This reverts commit 8ffd5590f4d6ef5460acbeac7fbdff7025f9b419 which is
commit 0958b33ef5a04ed91f61cef4760ac412080c4e08 upstream.

The change has an incorrect assumption about the return value because
in the current stable trees for versions 5.15 and before, the following
commit responsible for making 0 a success value is not present:
b8cc44a4d3c1 ("tracing: Remove logic for registering multiple event triggers at a time")

The return value should be 0 on failure in the current tree, because in
the functions event_trigger_callback() and event_enable_trigger_func(),
we have:

	ret = cmd_ops-&gt;reg(glob, trigger_ops, trigger_data, file);
	/*
	 * The above returns on success the # of functions enabled,
	 * but if it didn't find any functions it returns zero.
	 * Consider no functions a failure too.
	 */
	if (!ret) {
		ret = -ENOENT;

commit 325f3fb551f8cd672dbbfc4cf58b14f9ee3fc9e8 upstream.

When unloading a module, its state is changing MODULE_STATE_LIVE -&gt;
 MODULE_STATE_GOING -&gt; MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. Each change will take
a time. `is_module_text_address()` and `__module_text_address()`
works with MODULE_STATE_LIVE and MODULE_STATE_GOING.
If we use `is_module_text_address()` and `__module_text_address()`
separately, there is a chance that the first one is succeeded but the
next one is failed because module-&gt;state becomes MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED
between those operations.

In `check_kprobe_address_safe()`, if the second `__module_text_address()`
is failed, that is ignored because it expected a kernel_text address.
But it may have failed simply because module-&gt;state has been changed
to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. In this case, arm_kprobe() will try to modify
non-exist module text address (use-after-free).

To fix this problem, we should not use separated `is_module_text_address()`
and `__module_text_address()`, but use only `__module_text_address()`
once and do `try_module_get(module)` which is only available with
MODULE_STATE_LIVE.

[ Upstream commit d988d9a9b9d180bfd5c1d353b3b176cb90d6861b ]

If the kernel crashes in a context where printk() calls always
defer printing (such as in NMI or inside a printk_safe section)
then the final panic messages will be deferred to irq_work. But
if irq_work is not available, the messages will not get printed
unless explicitly flushed. The result is that the final
"end Kernel panic" banner does not get printed.

Add one final flush after the last printk() call to make sure
the final panic messages make it out as well.

commit f2d5dcb48f7ba9e3ff249d58fc1fa963d374e66a upstream.

ilog2() rounds down, so for example when PowerPC 85xx sets CONFIG_NR_CPUS
to 24, we will only allocate 4 bits to store the number of CPUs instead of
5.  Use bits_per() instead, which rounds up.  Found by code inspection.
The effect of this would probably be a misaccounting when doing NUMA
balancing, so to a user, it would only be a performance penalty.  The
effects may be more wide-spread; it's hard to tell.

<title>ring-buffer: Fix full_waiters_pending in poll</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3f91ba96536a96ee19e57b6ab9faac11db7625af</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8145f1c35fa648da662078efab299c4467b85ad5 ]

If a reader of the ring buffer is doing a poll, and waiting for the ring
buffer to hit a specific watermark, there could be a case where it gets
into an infinite ping-pong loop.

The poll code has:

  rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending = true;
  if (!cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full ||
      cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full &gt; full)
         cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = full;

The writer will see full_waiters_pending and check if the ring buffer is
filled over the percentage of the shortest_full value. If it is, it calls
an irq_work to wake up all the waiters.

But the code could get into a circular loop:

	CPU 0					CPU 1
	-----					-----
 [ Poll ]
   [ shortest_full = 0 ]
   rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending = true;
					  if (rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending &amp;&amp;
					      [ buffer percent ] &gt; shortest_full) {
					         rbwork-&gt;wakeup_full = true;
					         [ queue_irqwork ]

   cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = full;

					  [ IRQ work ]
					  if (rbwork-&gt;wakeup_full) {
					        cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = 0;
					        wakeup poll waiters;
  [woken]
   if ([ buffer percent ] &gt; full)
      break;
   rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending = true;
					  if (rbwork-&gt;full_waiters_pending &amp;&amp;
					      [ buffer percent ] &gt; shortest_full) {
					         rbwork-&gt;wakeup_full = true;
					         [ queue_irqwork ]

   cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = full;

					  [ IRQ work ]
					  if (rbwork-&gt;wakeup_full) {
					        cpu_buffer-&gt;shortest_full = 0;
					        wakeup poll waiters;
  [woken]

 [ Wash, rinse, repeat! ]

In the poll, the shortest_full needs to be set before the
full_pending_waiters, as once that is set, the writer will compare the
current shortest_full (which is incorrect) to decide to call the irq_work,
which will reset the shortest_full (expecting the readers to update it).

Also move the setting of full_waiters_pending after the check if the ring
buffer has the required percentage filled. There's no reason to tell the
writer to wake up waiters if there are no waiters.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 68282dd930ea38b068ce2c109d12405f40df3f93 ]

The "shortest_full" variable is used to keep track of the waiter that is
waiting for the smallest amount on the ring buffer before being woken up.
When a tasks waits on the ring buffer, it passes in a "full" value that is
a percentage. 0 means wake up on any data. 1-100 means wake up from 1% to
100% full buffer.

As all waiters are on the same wait queue, the wake up happens for the
waiter with the smallest percentage.

The problem is that the smallest_full on the cpu_buffer that stores the
smallest amount doesn't get reset when all the waiters are woken up. It
does get reset when the ring buffer is reset (echo &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/trace).

This means that tasks may be woken up more often then when they want to
be. Instead, have the shortest_full field get reset just before waking up
all the tasks. If the tasks wait again, they will update the shortest_full
before sleeping.

Also add locking around setting of shortest_full in the poll logic, and
change "work" to "rbwork" to match the variable name for rb_irq_work
structures that are used in other places.
