commit a7fb0423c201ba12815877a0b5a68a6a1710b23a upstream.

Commit d23b5c577715 ("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU
safe") adds a new rcu_head to the cgroup_root structure and kvfree_rcu()
for freeing the cgroup_root.

The current implementation of kvfree_rcu(), however, has the limitation
that the offset of the rcu_head structure within the larger data
structure must be less than 4096 or the compilation will fail. See the
macro definition of __is_kvfree_rcu_offset() in include/linux/rcupdate.h
for more information.

By putting rcu_head below the large cgroup structure, any change to the
cgroup structure that makes it larger run the risk of causing build
failure under certain configurations. Commit 77070eeb8821 ("cgroup:
Avoid false cacheline sharing of read mostly rstat_cpu") happens to be
the last straw that breaks it. Fix this problem by moving the rcu_head
structure up before the cgroup structure.

<title>net: add copy_safe_from_sockptr() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6309863b31dd80317cd7d6824820b44e254e2a9c ]

copy_from_sockptr() helper is unsafe, unless callers
did the prior check against user provided optlen.

Too many callers get this wrong, lets add a helper to
fix them and avoid future copy/paste bugs.

Instead of :

   if (optlen &lt; sizeof(opt)) {
       err = -EINVAL;
       break;
   }
   if (copy_from_sockptr(&amp;opt, optval, sizeof(opt)) {
       err = -EFAULT;
       break;
   }

Use :

   err = copy_safe_from_sockptr(&amp;opt, sizeof(opt),
                                optval, optlen);
   if (err)
       break;

[ Upstream commit 68d6f4f3fbd9b1baae53e7cf33fb3362b5a21494 ]

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by
attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have
their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for
array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family
functions).

While there, use struct_size() helper, instead of the open-coded
version.

commit d23b5c577715892c87533b13923306acc6243f93 upstream.

At present, when we perform operations on the cgroup root_list, we must
hold the cgroup_mutex, which is a relatively heavyweight lock. In reality,
we can make operations on this list RCU-safe, eliminating the need to hold
the cgroup_mutex during traversal. Modifications to the list only occur in
the cgroup root setup and destroy paths, which should be infrequent in a
production environment. In contrast, traversal may occur frequently.
Therefore, making it RCU-safe would be beneficial.

Since only one service actually reports the rpc stats there's not much
of a reason to have a pointer to it in the svc_program struct.  Adjust
the svc_create_pooled function to take the sv_stats as an argument and
pass the struct through there as desired instead of getting it from the
svc_program-&gt;pg_stats.

commit 0b6743bd60a56a701070b89fb80c327a44b7b3e2 upstream.

With structure layout randomization enabled for 'struct inode' we need to
avoid overlapping any of the RCU-used / initialized-only-once members,
e.g. i_lru or i_sb_list to not corrupt related list traversals when making
use of the rcu_head.

For an unlucky structure layout of 'struct inode' we may end up with the
following splat when running the ftrace selftests:

[&lt;...&gt;] list_del corruption, ffff888103ee2cb0-&gt;next (tracefs_inode_cache+0x0/0x4e0 [slab object]) is NULL (prev is tracefs_inode_cache+0x78/0x4e0 [slab object])

The list debug message as well as RBX's symbolic value point out that the
object in question was allocated from 'tracefs_inode_cache' and that the
list's '-&gt;next' member is at offset 0. Dumping the layout of the relevant
parts of 'struct tracefs_inode' gives the following:

  struct tracefs_inode {
    union {
      struct inode {
        struct list_head {
          struct list_head * next;                    /*     0     8 */
          struct list_head * prev;                    /*     8     8 */
        } i_lru;
        [...]
      } vfs_inode;
      struct callback_head {
        void (*func)(struct callback_head *);         /*     0     8 */
        struct callback_head * next;                  /*     8     8 */
      } rcu;
    };
    [...]
  };

Above shows that 'vfs_inode.i_lru' overlaps with 'rcu' which will
destroy the 'i_lru' list as soon as the 'rcu' member gets used, e.g. in
call_rcu() or later when calling the RCU callback. This will disturb
concurrent list traversals as well as object reuse which assumes these
list heads will keep their integrity.

For reproduction, the following diff manually overlays 'i_lru' with
'rcu' as, otherwise, one would require some good portion of luck for
gambling an unlucky RANDSTRUCT seed:

The tracefs inode does not need to supply its own RCU delayed destruction
of its inode. The inode code itself offers both a "destroy_inode()"
callback that gets called when the last reference of the inode is
released, and the "free_inode()" which is called after a RCU
synchronization period from the "destroy_inode()".

The tracefs code can unlink the inode from its list in the destroy_inode()
callback, and the simply free it from the free_inode() callback. This
should provide the same protection.

[ Upstream commit 2ed08e4bc53298db3f87b528cd804cb0cce066a9 ]

On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled
during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts:

    clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns,
    wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable
    tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
    TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
    sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)&lt;-(125446229205, -5992055152)
    clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896.
    clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet

The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are
sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource
during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and
maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs.

The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency
case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the
randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta
(latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The
watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not
necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs.

There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to
increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to
be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to
the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime.

Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online
CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.
