commit 7c2e07130090ae001a97a6b65597830d6815e93e upstream.

Since commit 648e921888ad ("clk: x86: Stop marking clocks as
CLK_IS_CRITICAL"), the pmc_plt_clocks of the Bay Trail SoC are
unconditionally gated off. Unfortunately this will break systems where these
clocks are used for external purposes beyond the kernel's knowledge. Fix it
by implementing a system specific quirk to mark the necessary pmc_plt_clks as
critical.

<title>USB: core: Fix bug caused by duplicate interface PM usage counter</title>

<id>urn:sha1:20ea0648cc1623778ff286b829613b9bd2523272</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c2b71462d294cf517a0bc6e4fd6424d7cee5596f upstream.

The syzkaller fuzzer reported a bug in the USB hub driver which turned
out to be caused by a negative runtime-PM usage counter.  This allowed
a hub to be runtime suspended at a time when the driver did not expect
it.  The symptom is a WARNING issued because the hub's status URB is
submitted while it is already active:

	URB 0000000031fb463e submitted while active
	WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2917 at drivers/usb/core/urb.c:363

The negative runtime-PM usage count was caused by an unfortunate
design decision made when runtime PM was first implemented for USB.
At that time, USB class drivers were allowed to unbind from their
interfaces without balancing the usage counter (i.e., leaving it with
a positive count).  The core code would take care of setting the
counter back to 0 before allowing another driver to bind to the
interface.

Later on when runtime PM was implemented for the entire kernel, the
opposite decision was made: Drivers were required to balance their
runtime-PM get and put calls.  In order to maintain backward
compatibility, however, the USB subsystem adapted to the new
implementation by keeping an independent usage counter for each
interface and using it to automatically adjust the normal usage
counter back to 0 whenever a driver was unbound.

This approach involves duplicating information, but what is worse, it
doesn't work properly in cases where a USB class driver delays
decrementing the usage counter until after the driver's disconnect()
routine has returned and the counter has been adjusted back to 0.
Doing so would cause the usage counter to become negative.  There's
even a warning about this in the USB power management documentation!

As it happens, this is exactly what the hub driver does.  The
kick_hub_wq() routine increments the runtime-PM usage counter, and the
corresponding decrement is carried out by hub_event() in the context
of the hub_wq work-queue thread.  This work routine may sometimes run
after the driver has been unbound from its interface, and when it does
it causes the usage counter to go negative.

It is not possible for hub_disconnect() to wait for a pending
hub_event() call to finish, because hub_disconnect() is called with
the device lock held and hub_event() acquires that lock.  The only
feasible fix is to reverse the original design decision: remove the
duplicate interface-specific usage counter and require USB drivers to
balance their runtime PM gets and puts.  As far as I know, all
existing drivers currently do this.

<title>ptrace: take into account saved_sigmask in PTRACE{GET,SET}SIGMASK</title>

[ Upstream commit fcfc2aa0185f4a731d05a21e9f359968fdfd02e7 ]

There are a few system calls (pselect, ppoll, etc) which replace a task
sigmask while they are running in a kernel-space

When a task calls one of these syscalls, the kernel saves a current
sigmask in task-&gt;saved_sigmask and sets a syscall sigmask.

On syscall-exit-stop, ptrace traps a task before restoring the
saved_sigmask, so PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns the syscall sigmask and
PTRACE_SETSIGMASK does nothing, because its sigmask is replaced by
saved_sigmask, when the task returns to user-space.

This patch fixes this problem.  PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns saved_sigmask
if it's set.  PTRACE_SETSIGMASK drops the TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag.

commit 15fab63e1e57be9fdb5eec1bbc5916e9825e9acb upstream.

Change pipe_buf_get() to return a bool indicating whether it succeeded
in raising the refcount of the page (if the thing in the pipe is a page).
This removes another mechanism for overflowing the page refcount.  All
callers converted to handle a failure.

commit 88b1a17dfc3ed7728316478fae0f5ad508f50397 upstream.

This is the same as the traditional 'get_page()' function, but instead
of unconditionally incrementing the reference count of the page, it only
does so if the count was "safe".  It returns whether the reference count
was incremented (and is marked __must_check, since the caller obviously
has to be aware of it).

Also like 'get_page()', you can't use this function unless you already
had a reference to the page.  The intent is that you can use this
exactly like get_page(), but in situations where you want to limit the
maximum reference count.

The code currently does an unconditional WARN_ON_ONCE() if we ever hit
the reference count issues (either zero or negative), as a notification
that the conditional non-increment actually happened.

NOTE! The count access for the "safety" check is inherently racy, but
that doesn't matter since the buffer we use is basically half the range
of the reference count (ie we look at the sign of the count).

<content type='text'>
commit f958d7b528b1b40c44cfda5eabe2d82760d868c3 upstream.

We have a VM_BUG_ON() to check that the page reference count doesn't
underflow (or get close to overflow) by checking the sign of the count.

That's all fine, but we actually want to allow people to use a "get page
ref unless it's already very high" helper function, and we want that one
to use the sign of the page ref (without triggering this VM_BUG_ON).

Change the VM_BUG_ON to only check for small underflows (or _very_ close
to overflowing), and ignore overflows which have strayed into negative
territory.

<content type='text'>
commit b987222654f84f7b4ca95b3a55eca784cb30235b upstream.

This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops:

 - The -&gt;steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has
   the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes
   that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount,
   which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which
   duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount.
   Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every
   attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support -&gt;steal, but the
   only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE,
   and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth
   the effort.
 - The -&gt;get() and -&gt;release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe
   buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against
   concurrency by using refcount_t.
 - The pointers stored in -&gt;private were only zeroed out when the last
   reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this
   shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.

commit 5a9d929d6e13278df62bd9e3d3ceae8c87ad1eea upstream.

If two programs simultaneously try to write to the same part of a file
via direct IO and buffered IO, there's a chance that the post-diowrite
pagecache invalidation will fail on the dirty page.  When this happens,
the dio write succeeded, which means that the page cache is no longer
coherent with the disk!

Programs are not supposed to mix IO types and this is a clear case of
data corruption, so store an EIO which will be reflected to userspace
during the next fsync.  Replace the WARN_ON with a ratelimited pr_crit
so that the developers have /some/ kind of breadcrumb to track down the
offending program(s) and file(s) involved.

Verify the stack frame pointer on kretprobe trampoline handler,
If the stack frame pointer does not match, it skips the wrong
entry and tries to find correct one.

This can happen if user puts the kretprobe on the function
which can be used in the path of ftrace user-function call.
Such functions should not be probed, so this adds a warning
message that reports which function should be blacklisted.

<title>coredump: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bb461ad8e6e0653fc6bd0f26d9173bab0aec235b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 04f5866e41fb70690e28397487d8bd8eea7d712a upstream.

The core dumping code has always run without holding the mmap_sem for
writing, despite that is the only way to ensure that the entire vma
layout will not change from under it.  Only using some signal
serialization on the processes belonging to the mm is not nearly enough.
This was pointed out earlier.  For example in Hugh's post from Jul 2017:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.1707191716030.2055@eggly.anvils

  "Not strictly relevant here, but a related note: I was very surprised
   to discover, only quite recently, how handle_mm_fault() may be called
   without down_read(mmap_sem) - when core dumping. That seems a
   misguided optimization to me, which would also be nice to correct"

In particular because the growsdown and growsup can move the
vm_start/vm_end the various loops the core dump does around the vma will
not be consistent if page faults can happen concurrently.

Pretty much all users calling mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and then
taking the mmap_sem had the potential to introduce unexpected side
effects in the core dumping code.

Adding mmap_sem for writing around the -&gt;core_dump invocation is a
viable long term fix, but it requires removing all copy user and page
faults and to replace them with get_dump_page() for all binary formats
which is not suitable as a short term fix.

For the time being this solution manually covers the places that can
confuse the core dump either by altering the vma layout or the vma flags
while it runs.  Once -&gt;core_dump runs under mmap_sem for writing the
function mmget_still_valid() can be dropped.

Allowing mmap_sem protected sections to run in parallel with the
coredump provides some minor parallelism advantage to the swapoff code
(which seems to be safe enough by never mangling any vma field and can
keep doing swapins in parallel to the core dumping) and to some other
corner case.

In order to facilitate the backporting I added "Fixes: 86039bd3b4e6"
however the side effect of this same race condition in /proc/pid/mem
should be reproducible since before 2.6.12-rc2 so I couldn't add any
other "Fixes:" because there's no hash beyond the git genesis commit.

Because find_extend_vma() is the only location outside of the process
context that could modify the "mm" structures under mmap_sem for
reading, by adding the mmget_still_valid() check to it, all other cases
that take the mmap_sem for reading don't need the new check after
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm().  The expand_stack() in page fault
context also doesn't need the new check, because all tasks under core
dumping are frozen.
