[ Upstream commit 4fd4dd8bffb112d1e6549e0ff09e9fa3c8cc2b96 ]

Use MACHINE_FLAG_TOPOLOGY instead of MACHINE_HAS_TOPOLOGY when
clearing the bit that indicates if the machine provides topology
information (and if it should be used). Currently works anyway.

commit 6dd0d2d22aa363fec075cb2577ba273ac8462e94 upstream.

For some reason, the implementation of some 16-bit ID system calls
(namely, setuid16/setgid16 and setfsuid16/setfsgid16) used type cast
instead of low2highgid/low2highuid macros for converting [GU]IDs, which
led to incorrect handling of value of -1 (which ought to be considered
invalid).

Discovered by strace test suite.

commit bdcf0a423ea1c40bbb40e7ee483b50fc8aa3d758 upstream.

In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel
for the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of
groups_sort, corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to
permission denials for the client.

This patch:
 - Make groups_sort globally visible.
 - Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info
 - Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups

commit e779498df587dd2189b30fe5b9245aefab870eb8 upstream.

When wiring up the socket system calls the compat entries were
incorrectly set. Not all of them point to the corresponding compat
wrapper functions, which clear the upper 33 bits of user space
pointers, like it is required.

commit 8d9047f8b967ce6181fd824ae922978e1b055cc0 upstream.

Free data structures required for runtime instrumentation from
arch_release_task_struct(). This allows to simplify the code a bit,
and also makes the semantics a bit easier: arch_release_task_struct()
is never called from the task that is being removed.

In addition this allows to get rid of exit_thread() in a later patch.

commit b192571d1ae375e0bbe0aa3ccfa1a3c3704454b9 upstream.

Current buffer size of 64 is too small. objdump shows that there are
instructions which would require up to 75 bytes buffer (with current
formating). 128 bytes "ought to be enough for anybody".

Also replaces 8 spaces with a single tab to reduce the memory footprint.

Fixes the following KASAN finding:

<title>s390/disassembler: add missing end marker for e7 table</title>

commit 5c50538752af7968f53924b22dede8ed4ce4cb3b upstream.

The e7 opcode table does not have an end marker. Hence when trying to
find an unknown e7 instruction the code will access memory behind the
table until it finds something that matches the opcode, or the kernel
crashes, whatever comes first.

This affects not only the in-kernel disassembler but also uprobes and
kprobes which refuse to set a probe on unknown instructions, and
therefore search the opcode tables to figure out if instructions are
known or not.

commit d6e646ad7cfa7034d280459b2b2546288f247144 upstream.

For PREEMPT enabled kernels the runtime instrumentation (RI) code
contains a possible use-after-free bug. If a task that makes use of RI
exits, it will execute do_exit() while still enabled for preemption.

That function will call exit_thread_runtime_instr() via
exit_thread(). If exit_thread_runtime_instr() gets preempted after the
RI control block of the task has been freed but before the pointer to
it is set to NULL, then save_ri_cb(), called from switch_to(), will
write to already freed memory.

Avoid this and simply disable preemption while freeing the control
block and setting the pointer to NULL.

There are several bugs with control register handling with respect to
transactional execution:

- on task switch update_per_regs() is only called if the next task has
  an mm (is not a kernel thread). This however is incorrect. This
  breaks e.g. for user mode helper handling, where the kernel creates
  a kernel thread and then execve's a user space program. Control
  register contents related to transactional execution won't be
  updated on execve. If the previous task ran with transactional
  execution disabled then the new task will also run with
  transactional execution disabled, which is incorrect. Therefore call
  update_per_regs() unconditionally within switch_to().

- on startup the transactional execution facility is not enabled for
  the idle thread. This is not really a bug, but an inconsistency to
  other facilities. Therefore enable the facility if it is available.

- on fork the new thread's per_flags field is not cleared. This means
  that a child process inherits the PER_FLAG_NO_TE flag. This flag can
  be set with a ptrace request to disable transactional execution for
  the current process. It should not be inherited by new child
  processes in order to be consistent with the handling of all other
  PER related debugging options. Therefore clear the per_flags field in
  copy_thread_tls().

[ Upstream commit 68cc795d1933285705ced6d841ef66c00ce98cbe ]

The "topology=off" kernel parameter is supposed to prevent the kernel
to use hardware topology information to generate scheduling domains
etc.
For an unknown reason I implemented this in a very odd way back then:
instead of simply clearing the MACHINE_HAS_TOPOLOGY flag within the
lowcore I added a second variable which indicated that topology
information should not be used. This is more than suboptimal since it
partially doesn't work.  For the fake NUMA case topology information
is still considered and scheduling domains will be created based on
this.
To fix this and to simplify the code get rid of the extra variable and
implement the "topology=off" case like it is done for other features.
