[ Upstream commit 8f9fab480c7a87b10bb5440b5555f370272a5d59 ]

DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL adds the two arguments and then invokes
DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL.  But on a 32bit system the addition of two 32 bit
values can overflow.  DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL does it correctly and stashes
the addition into a unsigned long long so cast the result to unsigned
long long here to avoid the overflow condition.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL must be an rval]

<content type='text'>
commit 1c2eb5b2853c9f513690ba6b71072d8eb65da16a upstream.

The VMCI handle array has an integer overflow in
vmci_handle_arr_append_entry when it tries to expand the array. This can be
triggered from a guest, since the doorbell link hypercall doesn't impose a
limit on the number of doorbell handles that a VM can create in the
hypervisor, and these handles are stored in a handle array.

In this change, we introduce a mandatory max capacity for handle
arrays/lists to avoid excessive memory usage.

<content type='text'>
commit 83b44fe343b5abfcb1b2261289bd0cfcfcfd60a8 upstream.

The cacheinfo structures are alloced/freed by cpu online/offline
callbacks. Originally these were only used by sysfs to expose the
cache topology to user space. Without any in-kernel dependencies
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN was an appropriate choice.

resctrl has started using these structures to identify CPUs that
share a cache. It updates its 'domain' structures from cpu
online/offline callbacks. These depend on the cacheinfo structures
(resctrl_online_cpu()-&gt;domain_add_cpu()-&gt;get_cache_id()-&gt;
 get_cpu_cacheinfo()).
These also run as CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN.

Now that there is an in-kernel dependency, move the cacheinfo
work earlier so we know its done before resctrl's CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN
work runs.

upstream commit fe0640eb30b7da261ae84d252ed9ed3c7e68dfd8.

&gt; The stable commit that caused the problem is 82017e26e515 ("compiler.h:

&gt; Reverting the commit fixes the problem.

&gt; Kernel 4.17 dropped support for older versions of gcc in upstream commit
&gt; cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6").  This

&gt; rules.
&gt;
&gt; Upstream commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make

&gt; commits, and without those commits, it ends up introducing a problem
&gt; instead of fixing one.  So I recommend reverting that patch in 4.14,
&gt; which will enable old gcc to compile 4.14 again.  If I understand
&gt; correctly, I believe that clang will still be able to compile 4.14 with
&gt; the patch reverted, although I haven't tried to compile with clang.

[ Upstream commit 0aa69fd32a5f766e997ca8ab4723c5a1146efa8b ]

For the upcoming removal of buffer heads in XFS we need to keep track of
the number of outstanding writeback requests per page.  For this we need
to know if bio_add_page merged a region with the previous bvec or not.
Instead of adding additional arguments this refactors bio_add_page to
be implemented using three lower level helpers which users like XFS can
use directly if they care about the merge decisions.

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

<content type='text'>
commit 59ea6d06cfa9247b586a695c21f94afa7183af74 upstream.

When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem
holders outside the context of the process, we focused on
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix
race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core
dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be
taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed
while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels.

If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the
mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process,
that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing
through that mm_count reference.

khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process,
but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the
khugepaged kernel thread.

collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't
modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the
coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an
invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon.  collapse_huge_page()
needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that
call pmd_trans_huge_lock().

Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a
"pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs.

The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading,
which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a
functional pmd_trans_huge_lock().

So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's
not running concurrently with the coredump...  as long as the coredump
can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading.

This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view
it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be
rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading.
So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().

The MSR in question is MSR_TFA_RTM_FORCE_ABORT and that MSR is emulated
by microcode. The log above shows that the microcode loader callback
happens after the PMU restoration, leading to the conjecture that
because the microcode hasn't been updated yet, that MSR is not present
yet, leading to the #GP.

Add a microcode loader-specific hotplug vector which comes before
the PERF vectors and thus executes earlier and makes sure the MSR is
present.

commit 18fa84a2db0e15b02baa5d94bdb5bd509175d2f6 upstream.

A PF_EXITING task can stay associated with an offline css.  If such
task calls task_get_css(), it can get stuck indefinitely.  This can be
triggered by BSD process accounting which writes to a file with
PF_EXITING set when racing against memcg disable as in the backtrace
at the end.

After this change, task_get_css() may return a css which was already
offline when the function was called.  None of the existing users are
affected by this change.

commit 3b4929f65b0d8249f19a50245cd88ed1a2f78cff upstream.

Jonathan Looney reported that TCP can trigger the following crash
in tcp_shifted_skb() :

	BUG_ON(tcp_skb_pcount(skb) &lt; pcount);

This can happen if the remote peer has advertized the smallest
MSS that linux TCP accepts : 48

An skb can hold 17 fragments, and each fragment can hold 32KB
on x86, or 64KB on PowerPC.

This means that the 16bit witdh of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;tcp_gso_segs
can overflow.

Note that tcp_sendmsg() builds skbs with less than 64KB
of payload, so this problem needs SACK to be enabled.
SACK blocks allow TCP to coalesce multiple skbs in the retransmit
queue, thus filling the 17 fragments to maximal capacity.

CVE-2019-11477 -- u16 overflow of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)-&gt;tcp_gso_segs

Backport notes, provided by Joao Martins &lt;joao.m.martins@oracle.com&gt;

v4.15 or since commit 737ff314563 ("tcp: use sequence distance to
detect reordering") had switched from the packet-based FACK tracking and
switched to sequence-based.

v4.14 and older still have the old logic and hence on
tcp_skb_shift_data() needs to retain its original logic and have
@fack_count in sync. In other words, we keep the increment of pcount with
tcp_skb_pcount(skb) to later used that to update fack_count. To make it
more explicit we track the new skb that gets incremented to pcount in
@next_pcount, and we get to avoid the constant invocation of
tcp_skb_pcount(skb) all together.

[ Upstream commit 347ab9480313737c0f1aaa08e8f2e1a791235535 ]

This patch fixes deadlock warning if removing PWM device
when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled.

This issue can be reproceduced by the following steps on
the R-Car H3 Salvator-X board if the backlight is disabled:

 # cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0
 # echo 0 &gt; export
 # ls
 device  export  npwm  power  pwm0  subsystem  uevent  unexport
 # cd device/driver
 # ls
 bind  e6e31000.pwm  uevent  unbind
 # echo e6e31000.pwm &gt; unbind

The sysfs unexport in pwmchip_remove() is completely asymmetric
to what we do in pwmchip_add_with_polarity() and commit 0733424c9ba9
("pwm: Unexport children before chip removal") is a strong indication
that this was wrong to begin with. We should just move
pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() where it belongs, which is right after
pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children(). In that case, we do not need
separate functions anymore either.

We also really want to remove sysfs irrespective of whether or not
the chip will be removed as a result of pwmchip_remove(). We can only
assume that the driver will be gone after that, so we shouldn't leave
any dangling sysfs files around.

This warning disappears if we move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() to
the top of pwmchip_remove(), pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children().
That way it is also outside of the pwm_lock section, which indeed
doesn't seem to be needed.

Moving the pwmchip_sysfs_export() call outside of that section also
seems fine and it'd be perfectly symmetric with pwmchip_remove() again.

So, this patch fixes them.
