commit 0a9e7405131380b57e155f10242b2e25d2e51852 upstream.

Verify that the inode mode is sane when loading it from the disk to
avoid complaints from VFS about setting up invalid inodes.

commit 0405d4b63d082861f4eaff9d39c78ee9dc34f845 upstream.

syzbot reported a slab-out-of-bounds Read in isofs_fh_to_parent. [1]

The handle_bytes value passed in by the reproducing program is equal to 12.
In handle_to_path(), only 12 bytes of memory are allocated for the structure
file_handle-&gt;f_handle member, which causes an out-of-bounds access when
accessing the member parent_block of the structure isofs_fid in isofs,
because accessing parent_block requires at least 16 bytes of f_handle.
Here, fh_len is used to indirectly confirm that the value of handle_bytes
is greater than 3 before accessing parent_block.

<title>isofs: fix KMSAN uninit-value bug in do_isofs_readdir()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:98fa452d0cf2364ecfa4fa7e740412d73cbb5a0d</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 81a82e8f33880793029cd6f8a766fb13b737e6a7 ]

In do_isofs_readdir() when assigning the variable
"struct iso_directory_record *de" the b_data field of the buffer_head
is accessed and an offset is added to it, the size of b_data is 2048
and the offset size is 2047, meaning
"de = (struct iso_directory_record *) (bh-&gt;b_data + offset);"
yields the final byte of the 2048 sized b_data block.

The first byte of the directory record (de_len) is then read and
found to be 31, meaning the directory record size is 31 bytes long.
The directory record is defined by the structure:

	struct iso_directory_record {
		__u8 length;                     // 1 byte
		__u8 ext_attr_length;            // 1 byte
		__u8 extent[8];                  // 8 bytes
		__u8 size[8];                    // 8 bytes
		__u8 date[7];                    // 7 bytes
		__u8 flags;                      // 1 byte
		__u8 file_unit_size;             // 1 byte
		__u8 interleave;                 // 1 byte
		__u8 volume_sequence_number[4];  // 4 bytes
		__u8 name_len;                   // 1 byte
		char name[];                     // variable size
	} __attribute__((packed));

The fixed portion of this structure occupies 33 bytes. Therefore, a
valid directory record must be at least 33 bytes long
(even without considering the variable-length name field).
Since de_len is only 31, it is insufficient to contain
the complete fixed header.

The code later hits the following sanity check that
compares de_len against the sum of de-&gt;name_len and
sizeof(struct iso_directory_record):

	if (de_len &lt; de-&gt;name_len[0] + sizeof(struct iso_directory_record)) {
		...
	}

Since the fixed portion of the structure is
33 bytes (up to and including name_len member),
a valid record should have de_len of at least 33 bytes;
here, however, de_len is too short, and the field de-&gt;name_len
(located at offset 32) is accessed even though it lies beyond
the available 31 bytes.

This access on the corrupted isofs data triggers a KASAN uninitialized
memory warning. The fix would be to first verify that de_len is at least
sizeof(struct iso_directory_record) before accessing any
fields like de-&gt;name_len.

<title>isofs: handle CDs with bad root inode but good Joliet root directory</title>

[ Upstream commit 4243bf80c79211a8ca2795401add9c4a3b1d37ca ]

I have a CD copy of the original Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon game from
2001. The disc mounts without error on Windows, but on Linux mounting
fails with the message "isofs_fill_super: get root inode failed". The
error originates in isofs_read_inode, which returns -EIO because de_len
is 0. The superblock on this disc appears to be intentionally corrupt as
a form of copy protection.

When the root inode is unusable, instead of giving up immediately, try
to continue with the Joliet file table. This fixes the Ghost Recon CD
and probably other copy-protected CDs too.

<content type='text'>
Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and
select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it.

For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path
is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a
a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call
into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist.

Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

<title>fs/isofs: replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=5bb6ce3aeb02497668a4e8971268b041aa61de8d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5bb6ce3aeb02497668a4e8971268b041aa61de8d</id>
<content type='text'>
The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). 
Tasks can be preempted and, when scheduled to run again, the kernel
virtual addresses are restored and still valid.  It is faster than kmap()
in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled.

Since kmap_local_page() can be safely used in compress.c, it should be
called everywhere instead of kmap().

Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in compress.c.  Where it
is needed, use memzero_page() instead of open coding kmap_local_page()
plus memset() to fill the pages with zeros.  Delete the redundant
flush_dcache_page() in the two call sites of memzero_page().

Tested with mkisofs on a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel
with HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
