<id>urn:sha1:b0f013bebf94fe7ae75e5a53be2f2bd1cc1841e3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b04df3da1b5c6f6dc7cdccc37941740c078c4043 upstream.

nf_tables_chain_destroy can sleep, it can't be used from call_rcu
callbacks.

Moreover, nf_tables_rule_release() is only safe for error unwinding,
while transaction mutex is held and the to-be-desroyed rule was not
exposed to either dataplane or dumps, as it deactives+frees without
the required synchronize_rcu() in-between.

nft_rule_expr_deactivate() callbacks will change -&gt;use counters
of other chains/sets, see e.g. nft_lookup .deactivate callback, these
must be serialized via transaction mutex.

Also add a few lockdep asserts to make this more explicit.

Calling synchronize_rcu() isn't ideal, but fixing this without is hard
and way more intrusive.  As-is, we can get:

WARNING: .. net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:5515 nft_set_destroy+0x..
Workqueue: events nf_tables_trans_destroy_work
RIP: 0010:nft_set_destroy+0x3fe/0x5c0
Call Trace:
 &lt;TASK&gt;
 nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x6b7/0xad0
 process_one_work+0x64a/0xce0
 worker_thread+0x613/0x10d0

In case the synchronize_rcu becomes an issue, we can explore alternatives.

One way would be to allocate nft_trans_rule objects + one nft_trans_chain
object, deactivate the rules + the chain and then defer the freeing to the
nft destroy workqueue.  We'd still need to keep the synchronize_rcu path as
a fallback to handle -ENOMEM corner cases though.

<content type='text'>
commit c03d278fdf35e73dd0ec543b9b556876b9d9a8dc upstream.

8c873e219970 ("netfilter: core: free hooks with call_rcu") removed
synchronize_net() call when unregistering basechain hook, however,
net_device removal event handler for the NFPROTO_NETDEV was not updated
to wait for RCU grace period.

Note that 835b803377f5 ("netfilter: nf_tables_netdev: unregister hooks
on net_device removal") does not remove basechain rules on device
removal, I was hinted to remove rules on net_device removal later, see
5ebe0b0eec9d ("netfilter: nf_tables: destroy basechain and rules on
netdevice removal").

Although NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is guaranteed to be handled after
synchronize_net() call, this path needs to wait for rcu grace period via
rcu callback to release basechain hooks if netns is alive because an
ongoing netlink dump could be in progress (sockets hold a reference on
the netns).

Note that nf_tables_pre_exit_net() unregisters and releases basechain
hooks but it is possible to see NETDEV_UNREGISTER at a later stage in
the netns exit path, eg. veth peer device in another netns:

 cleanup_net()
  default_device_exit_batch()
   unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
    notifier_call_chain()
     nf_tables_netdev_event()
      __nft_release_basechain()

In this particular case, same rule of thumb applies: if netns is alive,
then wait for rcu grace period because netlink dump in the other netns
could be in progress. Otherwise, if the other netns is going away then
no netlink dump can be in progress and basechain hooks can be released
inmediately.

While at it, turn WARN_ON() into WARN_ON_ONCE() for the basechain
validation, which should not ever happen.

commit 8965d42bcf54d42cbc72fe34a9d0ec3f8527debd upstream.

It would be better to not store nft_ctx inside nft_trans object,
the netlink ctx strucutre is huge and most of its information is
never needed in places that use trans-&gt;ctx.

Avoid/reduce its usage if possible, no runtime behaviour change
intended.

commit e8007fad5457ea547ca63bb011fdb03213571c7e upstream.

The REPORT ZONES buffer size is currently limited by the HBA's maximum
segment count to ensure the buffer can be mapped. However, the block
layer further limits the number of iovec entries to 1024 when allocating
a bio.

To avoid allocation of buffers too large to be mapped, further restrict
the maximum buffer size to BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

Replace the UIO_MAXIOV symbolic name with the more contextually
appropriate BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

[ Upstream commit 2d3cbfd6d54a2c39ce3244f33f85c595844bd7b8 ]

Previously, when reducing a qdisc's limit via the -&gt;change() operation, only
the main skb queue was trimmed, potentially leaving packets in the gso_skb
list. This could result in NULL pointer dereference when we only check
sch-&gt;limit against sch-&gt;q.qlen.

This patch introduces a new helper, qdisc_dequeue_internal(), which ensures
both the gso_skb list and the main queue are properly flushed when trimming
excess packets. All relevant qdiscs (codel, fq, fq_codel, fq_pie, hhf, pie)
are updated to use this helper in their -&gt;change() routines.

[ Upstream commit 2f661f71fda1fc0c42b7746ca5b7da529eb6b5be ]

With some Infineon chips the timeouts in tpm_tis_send_data (both B and
C) can reach up to about 2250 ms.

Timeout C is retried since
commit de9e33df7762 ("tpm, tpm_tis: Workaround failed command reception on Infineon devices")

Timeout B still needs to be extended.

The problem is most commonly encountered with context related operation
such as load context/save context. These are issued directly by the
kernel, and there is no retry logic for them.

When a filesystem is set up to use the TPM for unlocking the boot fails,
and restarting the userspace service is ineffective. This is likely
because ignoring a load context/save context result puts the real TPM
state and the TPM state expected by the kernel out of sync.

Chips known to be affected:
tpm_tis IFX1522:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0x1D, rev-id 54)
Description: SLB9672
Firmware Revision: 15.22

tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0x1B, rev-id 22)

commit 872df34d7c51a79523820ea6a14860398c639b87 upstream.

ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This
could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect
branches becomes same for different execution paths.

To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate
thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure
to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.

As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the
address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses
32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction
accuracy over fixed thunks.

Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that
they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs,
just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

  [ pawan: CONFIG_EXECMEM and CONFIG_EXECMEM_ROX are not supported on
	   backport kernel, made changes to use module_alloc() and
	   set_memory_*() for dynamic thunks. ]

<id>urn:sha1:b1701fee52d1d68d1e12ad140b3551435a8e9fe7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f4818881c47fd91fcb6d62373c57c7844e3de1c0 upstream.

Indirect Target Selection (ITS) is a bug in some pre-ADL Intel CPUs with
eIBRS. It affects prediction of indirect branch and RETs in the
lower half of cacheline. Due to ITS such branches may get wrongly predicted
to a target of (direct or indirect) branch that is located in the upper
half of the cacheline.

Scope of impact
===============

Guest/host isolation
--------------------
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches in the
VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to branches in the
guest.

Intra-mode
----------
cBPF or other native gadgets can be used for intra-mode training and
disclosure using ITS.

User/kernel isolation
---------------------
When eIBRS is enabled user/kernel isolation is not impacted.

Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)
-----------------------------------------
After an IBPB, indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB. This is
mitigated by a microcode update.

Add cmdline parameter indirect_target_selection=off|on|force to control the
mitigation to relocate the affected branches to an ITS-safe thunk i.e.
located in the upper half of cacheline. Also add the sysfs reporting.

When retpoline mitigation is deployed, ITS safe-thunks are not needed,
because retpoline sequence is already ITS-safe. Similarly, when call depth
tracking (CDT) mitigation is deployed (retbleed=stuff), ITS safe return
thunk is not used, as CDT prevents RSB-underflow.

To not overcomplicate things, ITS mitigation is not supported with
spectre-v2 lfence;jmp mitigation. Moreover, it is less practical to deploy
lfence;jmp mitigation on ITS affected parts anyways.
