[ Upstream commit 06e62a46bbba20aa5286102016a04214bb446141 ]

Before this change, if a multithreaded process forks while one of its
threads is changing a signal handler using sigaction(), the memcpy() in
copy_sighand() can race with the struct assignment in do_sigaction().  It
isn't clear whether this can cause corruption of the userspace signal
handler pointer, but it definitely can cause inconsistency between
different fields of struct sigaction.

Take the appropriate spinlock to avoid this.

I have tested that this patch prevents inconsistency between sa_sigaction
and sa_flags, which is possible before this patch.

commit d1c392c9e2a301f38998a353f467f76414e38725 upstream.

I hit the following splat in my tests:

---[ end trace b7c64aa79e17954a ]---

After a bit of debugging, I found what was happening. This would trigger
when performing "perf" with a high NMI interrupt rate, while enabling and
disabling function tracer. Ftrace uses breakpoints to convert the nops at
the start of functions to calls to the function trampolines. The breakpoint
traps disable interrupts and this makes calls into lockdep via the
trace_hardirqs_off_thunk in the entry.S code. What happens is the following:

  do_idle {

    [interrupts enabled]

    &lt;interrupt&gt; [interrupts disabled]
	TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off]
	[...]
	TRACE_IRQS_IRET
	    test if pt_regs say return to interrupts enabled [yes]
	    TRACE_IRQS_ON [lockdep says irqs are on]

	    &lt;nmi&gt;
		nmi_enter() {
		    printk_nmi_enter() [traced by ftrace]
		    [ hit ftrace breakpoint ]
		    &lt;breakpoint exception&gt;
			TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off]
			[...]
			TRACE_IRQS_IRET [return from breakpoint]
			   test if pt_regs say interrupts enabled [no]
			   [iret back to interrupt]
	   [iret back to code]

    tick_nohz_idle_enter() {

	lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() [lockdep say no!]

Although interrupts are indeed enabled, lockdep thinks it is not, and since
we now do asserts via lockdep, it gives a false warning. The issue here is
that printk_nmi_enter() is called before lockdep_off(), which disables
lockdep (for this reason) in NMIs. By simply not allowing ftrace to see
printk_nmi_enter() (via notrace annotation) we keep lockdep from getting
confused.

<title>userns: move user access out of the mutex</title>

commit 5820f140edef111a9ea2ef414ab2428b8cb805b1 upstream.

The old code would hold the userns_state_mutex indefinitely if
memdup_user_nul stalled due to e.g. a userfault region. Prevent that by
moving the memdup_user_nul in front of the mutex_lock().

Note: This changes the error precedence of invalid buf/count/*ppos vs
map already written / capabilities missing.

commit 42a0cc3478584d4d63f68f2f5af021ddbea771fa upstream.

Holding uts_sem as a writer while accessing userspace memory allows a
namespace admin to stall all processes that attempt to take uts_sem.
Instead, move data through stack buffers and don't access userspace memory
while uts_sem is held.

commit 3df6f61fff49632492490fb6e42646b803a9958a upstream.

Commit ea0212f40c6 (power: auto select CONFIG_SRCU) made the code in
drivers/base/power/wakeup.c use SRCU instead of RCU, but it forgot to
select CONFIG_SRCU in Kconfig, which leads to the following build
error if CONFIG_SRCU is not selected somewhere else:

commit 016f8ffc48cb01d1e7701649c728c5d2e737d295 upstream.

While debugging another bug, I was looking at all the synchronize*()
functions being used in kernel/trace, and noticed that trace_uprobes was
using synchronize_sched(), with a comment to synchronize with
{u,ret}_probe_trace_func(). When looking at those functions, the data is
protected with "rcu_read_lock()" and not with "rcu_read_lock_sched()". This
is using the wrong synchronize_*() function.

<title>tracing/blktrace: Fix to allow setting same value</title>

commit 757d9140072054528b13bbe291583d9823cde195 upstream.

Masami Hiramatsu reported:

  Current trace-enable attribute in sysfs returns an error
  if user writes the same setting value as current one,
  e.g.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

  But this is not a preferred behavior, it should ignore
  if new setting is same as current one. This fixes the
  problem as below.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable

<title>tracing: Do not call start/stop() functions when tracing_on does not change</title>

commit f143641bfef9a4a60c57af30de26c63057e7e695 upstream.

Currently, when one echo's in 1 into tracing_on, the current tracer's
"start()" function is executed, even if tracing_on was already one. This can
lead to strange side effects. One being that if the hwlat tracer is enabled,
and someone does "echo 1 &gt; tracing_on" into tracing_on, the hwlat tracer's
start() function is called again which will recreate another kernel thread,
and make it unable to remove the old one.

commit f2a3ab36077222437b4826fc76111caa14562b7c upstream.

Since the blacklist and list files on debugfs indicates
a sensitive address information to reader, it should be
restricted to the root user.

          used = div_u64(avg, total);
          ...
     }

To fix this issue, check user input value of sysctl_sched_time_avg, keep
it unchanged when hitting invalid input, and set the minimum limit of
sysctl_sched_time_avg to 1 ms.
