commit 5dd0b16cdaff9b94da06074d5888b03235c0bf17 upstream.

This fixes CONFIG_SMP=n, CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH=y without introducing
further #ifdef soup.  Caught by a Kbuild bot randconfig build.

<title>timers: Reinitialize per cpu bases on hotplug</title>

commit 26456f87aca7157c057de65c9414b37f1ab881d1 upstream.

The timer wheel bases are not (re)initialized on CPU hotplug. That leaves
them with a potentially stale clk and next_expiry valuem, which can cause
trouble then the CPU is plugged.

Add a prepare callback which forwards the clock, sets next_expiry to far in
the future and reset the control flags to a known state.

Set base-&gt;must_forward_clk so the first timer which is queued will try to
forward the clock to current jiffies.

[ Upstream commit 37e92a9d4fe38dc3e7308913575983a6a088c8d4 ]

In mlx5_ifc, struct size was not complete, and thus driver was sending
garbage after the last defined field. Fixed it by adding reserved field
to complete the struct size.

In addition, rename all set_rate_limit to set_pp_rate_limit to be
compliant with the Firmware &lt;-&gt; Driver definition.

<title>tcp: invalidate rate samples during SACK reneging</title>

[ Upstream commit d4761754b4fb2ef8d9a1e9d121c4bec84e1fe292 ]

Mark tcp_sock during a SACK reneging event and invalidate rate samples
while marked. Such rate samples may overestimate bw by including packets
that were SACKed before reneging.

&lt; ack 6001 win 10000 sack 7001:38001
&lt; ack 7001 win 0 sack 8001:38001 // Reneg detected
&gt; seq 7001:8001 // RTO, SACK cleared.
&lt; ack 38001 win 10000

In above example the rate sample taken after the last ack will count
7001-38001 as delivered while the actual delivery rate likely could
be much lower i.e. 7001-8001.

This patch adds a new field tcp_sock.sack_reneg and marks it when we
declare SACK reneging and entering TCP_CA_Loss, and unmarks it after
the last rate sample was taken before moving back to TCP_CA_Open. This
patch also invalidates rate samples taken while tcp_sock.is_sack_reneg
is set.

[ Upstream commit a8ceb5dbfde1092b466936bca0ff3be127ecf38e ]

Users of ptr_ring expect that it's safe to give the
data structure a pointer and have it be available
to consumers, but that actually requires an smb_wmb
or a stronger barrier.

In absence of such barriers and on architectures that reorder writes,
consumer might read an un=initialized value from an skb pointer stored
in the skb array.  This was observed causing crashes.

To fix, add memory barriers.  The barrier we use is a wmb, the
assumption being that producers do not need to read the value so we do
not need to order these reads.

<title>net: reevalulate autoflowlabel setting after sysctl setting</title>

[ Upstream commit 513674b5a2c9c7a67501506419da5c3c77ac6f08 ]

sysctl.ip6.auto_flowlabels is default 1. In our hosts, we set it to 2.
If sockopt doesn't set autoflowlabel, outcome packets from the hosts are
supposed to not include flowlabel. This is true for normal packet, but
not for reset packet.

The reason is ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel is set in sock creation. Later if
we change sysctl.ip6.auto_flowlabels, the ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel isn't
changed, so the sock will keep the old behavior in terms of auto
flowlabel. Reset packet is suffering from this problem, because reset
packet is sent from a special control socket, which is created at boot
time. Since sysctl.ipv6.auto_flowlabels is 1 by default, the control
socket will always have its ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel set, even after
user set sysctl.ipv6.auto_flowlabels to 1, so reset packset will always
have flowlabel. Normal sock created before sysctl setting suffers from
the same issue. We can't even turn off autoflowlabel unless we kill all
socks in the hosts.

To fix this, if IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL sockopt is used, we use the
autoflowlabel setting from user, otherwise we always call
ip6_default_np_autolabel() which has the new settings of sysctl.

Note, this changes behavior a little bit. Before commit 42240901f7c4
(ipv6: Implement different admin modes for automatic flow labels), the
autoflowlabel behavior of a sock isn't sticky, eg, if sysctl changes,
existing connection will change autoflowlabel behavior. After that
commit, autoflowlabel behavior is sticky in the whole life of the sock.
With this patch, the behavior isn't sticky again.

[ Upstream commit b5476022bbada3764609368f03329ca287528dc8 ]

IPv4 stack reacts to changes to small MTU, by disabling itself under
RTNL.

But there is a window where threads not using RTNL can see a wrong
device mtu. This can lead to surprises, in igmp code where it is
assumed the mtu is suitable.

Fix this by reading device mtu once and checking IPv4 minimal MTU.

This patch adds missing IPV4_MIN_MTU define, to not abuse
ETH_MIN_MTU anymore.

commit 9abffc6f2efe46c3564c04312e52e07622d40e51 upstream.

mcryptd_enqueue_request() grabs the per-CPU queue struct and protects
access to it with disabled preemption. Then it schedules a worker on the
same CPU. The worker in mcryptd_queue_worker() guards access to the same
per-CPU variable with disabled preemption.

If we take CPU-hotplug into account then it is possible that between
queue_work_on() and the actual invocation of the worker the CPU goes
down and the worker will be scheduled on _another_ CPU. And here the
preempt_disable() protection does not work anymore. The easiest thing is
to add a spin_lock() to guard access to the list.

Another detail: mcryptd_queue_worker() is not processing more than
MCRYPTD_BATCH invocation in a row. If there are still items left, then
it will invoke queue_work() to proceed with more later. *I* would
suggest to simply drop that check because it does not use a system
workqueue and the workqueue is already marked as "CPU_INTENSIVE". And if
preemption is required then the scheduler should do it.
However if queue_work() is used then the work item is marked as CPU
unbound. That means it will try to run on the local CPU but it may run
on another CPU as well. Especially with CONFIG_DEBUG_WQ_FORCE_RR_CPU=y.
Again, the preempt_disable() won't work here but lock which was
introduced will help.
In order to keep work-item on the local CPU (and avoid RR) I changed it
to queue_work_on().

commit 9abffc6f2efe46c3564c04312e52e07622d40e51 upstream.

mcryptd_enqueue_request() grabs the per-CPU queue struct and protects
access to it with disabled preemption. Then it schedules a worker on the
same CPU. The worker in mcryptd_queue_worker() guards access to the same
per-CPU variable with disabled preemption.

If we take CPU-hotplug into account then it is possible that between
queue_work_on() and the actual invocation of the worker the CPU goes
down and the worker will be scheduled on _another_ CPU. And here the
preempt_disable() protection does not work anymore. The easiest thing is
to add a spin_lock() to guard access to the list.

<title>bpf: fix branch pruning logic</title>

[ Upstream commit c131187db2d3fa2f8bf32fdf4e9a4ef805168467 ]

when the verifier detects that register contains a runtime constant
and it's compared with another constant it will prune exploration
of the branch that is guaranteed not to be taken at runtime.
This is all correct, but malicious program may be constructed
in such a way that it always has a constant comparison and
the other branch is never taken under any conditions.
In this case such path through the program will not be explored
by the verifier. It won't be taken at run-time either, but since
all instructions are JITed the malicious program may cause JITs
to complain about using reserved fields, etc.
To fix the issue we have to track the instructions explored by
the verifier and sanitize instructions that are dead at run time
with NOPs. We cannot reject such dead code, since llvm generates
it for valid C code, since it doesn't do as much data flow
analysis as the verifier does.
