[ Upstream commit 8ce8849dd1e78dadcee0ec9acbd259d239b7069f ]

posix_timer_add() tries to allocate a posix timer ID by starting from the
cached ID which was stored by the last successful allocation.

This is done in a loop searching the ID space for a free slot one by
one. The loop has to terminate when the search wrapped around to the
starting point.

But that's racy vs. establishing the starting point. That is read out
lockless, which leads to the following problem:

CPU0	  	      	     	   CPU1
posix_timer_add()
  start = sig-&gt;posix_timer_id;
  lock(hash_lock);
  ...				   posix_timer_add()
  if (++sig-&gt;posix_timer_id &lt; 0)
      			             start = sig-&gt;posix_timer_id;
     sig-&gt;posix_timer_id = 0;

So CPU1 can observe a negative start value, i.e. -1, and the loop break
never happens because the condition can never be true:

  if (sig-&gt;posix_timer_id == start)
     break;

While this is unlikely to ever turn into an endless loop as the ID space is
huge (INT_MAX), the racy read of the start value caught the attention of
KCSAN and Dmitry unearthed that incorrectness.

Rewrite it so that all id operations are under the hash lock.

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

<id>urn:sha1:aa2a047b584296a282daa00c850aff7ab371bbc0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5f24d5a579d1eace79d505b148808a850b417d4c upstream.

This is a fix for commit f6795053dac8 ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high"
userspace addresses") for hugetlb.

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are
optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint
mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap).

Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to
their architectural versions of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function.
However, arm64 uses the generic version of that function.

So take into account arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() in
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().  To allow that, move those two macros out
of mm/mmap.c into include/linux/sched/mm.h

If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default
to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural
changes to architectures that do not define them.

For the time being, only ARM64 is affected by this change.

Catalin (ARM64) said
 "We should have fixed hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() as well when we added
  support for 52-bit VA. The reason for commit f6795053dac8 was to
  prevent normal mmap() from returning addresses above 48-bit by default
  as some user-space had hard assumptions about this.

  It's a slight ABI change if you do this for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
  but I doubt anyone would notice. It's more likely that the current
  behaviour would cause issues, so I'd rather have them consistent.

  Basically when arm64 gained support for 52-bit addresses we did not
  want user-space calling mmap() to suddenly get such high addresses,
  otherwise we could have inadvertently broken some programs (similar
  behaviour to x86 here). Hence we added commit f6795053dac8. But we
  missed hugetlbfs which could still get such high mmap() addresses. So
  in theory that's a potential regression that should have bee addressed
  at the same time as commit f6795053dac8 (and before arm64 enabled
  52-bit addresses)"

<title>shm: extend forced shm destroy to support objects from several IPC nses</title>

<id>urn:sha1:43788453983e38f17cb48e1d2205850e61e46875</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 85b6d24646e4125c591639841169baa98a2da503 upstream.

Currently, the exit_shm() function not designed to work properly when
task-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist holds shm objects from different IPC namespaces.

This is a real pain when sysctl kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1, because it
leads to use-after-free (reproducer exists).

This is an attempt to fix the problem by extending exit_shm mechanism to
handle shm's destroy from several IPC ns'es.

To achieve that we do several things:

1. add a namespace (non-refcounted) pointer to the struct shmid_kernel

2. during new shm object creation (newseg()/shmget syscall) we
   initialize this pointer by current task IPC ns

3. exit_shm() fully reworked such that it traverses over all shp's in
   task-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist and gets IPC namespace not from current task
   as it was before but from shp's object itself, then call
   shm_destroy(shp, ns).

Note: We need to be really careful here, because as it was said before
(1), our pointer to IPC ns non-refcnt'ed.  To be on the safe side we
using special helper get_ipc_ns_not_zero() which allows to get IPC ns
refcounter only if IPC ns not in the "state of destruction".

Q/A

Q: Why can we access shp-&gt;ns memory using non-refcounted pointer?
A: Because shp object lifetime is always shorther than IPC namespace
   lifetime, so, if we get shp object from the task-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist
   while holding task_lock(task) nobody can steal our namespace.

Q: Does this patch change semantics of unshare/setns/clone syscalls?
A: No. It's just fixes non-covered case when process may leave IPC
   namespace without getting task-&gt;sysvshm.shm_clist list cleaned up.

The function end_of_stack() returns a pointer to the last entry of a
stack. For architectures like parisc where the stack grows upwards
return the pointer to the highest address in the stack.

Without this change I faced a crash on parisc, because the stackleak
functionality wrote STACKLEAK_POISON to the lowest address and thus
overwrote the first 4 bytes of the task_struct which included the
TIF_FLAGS.

[ Upstream commit 2beb4a53fc3f1081cedc1c1a198c7f56cc4fc60c ]

The kernel pushes context on to the userspace stack to prepare for the
user's signal handler. When the user has supplied an alternate signal
stack, via sigaltstack(2), it is easy for the kernel to verify that the
stack size is sufficient for the current hardware context.

Check if writing the hardware context to the alternate stack will exceed
it's size. If yes, then instead of corrupting user-data and proceeding with
the original signal handler, an immediate SIGSEGV signal is delivered.

Refactor the stack pointer check code from on_sig_stack() and use the new
helper.

While the kernel allows new source code to discover and use a sufficient
alternate signal stack size, this check is still necessary to protect
binaries with insufficient alternate signal stack size from data
corruption.

Fix a sparse warning by using rcu_dereference().  Technically this is a
bug and a sufficiently aggressive compiler could reload the `real_parent'
pointer outside the protection of the rcu lock (and access freed memory),
but I think it's pretty unlikely to happen.

[ Upstream commit f7cfd871ae0c5008d94b6f66834e7845caa93c15 ]

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users
of exec_update_mutex.  The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep
was:

   perf_event_open  (exec_update_mutex -&gt; ovl_i_mutex)
   chown            (ovl_i_mutex       -&gt; sb_writes)
   sendfile         (sb_writes         -&gt; p-&gt;lock)
     by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs
   proc_pid_syscall (p-&gt;lock           -&gt; exec_update_mutex)

While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the
users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given
process to remain the same.  They are all readers.  The only writer is
exec.

There is no reason for readers to block on each other.  So fix
this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore
named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.
