commit 08389d888287c3823f80b0216766b71e17f0aba5 upstream.

Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default.
If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2.

This still allows a transition of 2 -&gt; {0,1} through an admin. Similarly,
this also still keeps 1 -&gt; {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently
disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot.

We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin
still has a chance to toggle between 0 &lt;-&gt; 2.

Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF
that we added a while ago.

<title>init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on HAS_IOMEM</title>

commit ea29b20a828511de3348334e529a3d046a180416 upstream.

I read the commit log of the following two:

- bc083a64b6c0 ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML")
- 334ef6ed06fa ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !S390")

Both are talking about HAS_IOMEM dependency missing in many drivers.

So, 'depends on HAS_IOMEM' seems the direct, sensible solution to me.

This does not change the behavior of UML. UML still cannot enable
COMPILE_TEST because it does not provide HAS_IOMEM.

The current dependency for S390 is too strong. Under the condition of
CONFIG_PCI=y, S390 provides HAS_IOMEM, hence can enable COMPILE_TEST.

I also removed the meaningless 'default n'.

commit 334ef6ed06fa1a54e35296b77b693bcf6d63ee9e upstream.

While allmodconfig and allyesconfig build for s390 there are also
various bots running compile tests with randconfig, where PCI is
disabled. This reveals that a lot of drivers should actually depend on
HAS_IOMEM.
Adding this to each device driver would be a never ending story,
therefore just disable COMPILE_TEST for s390.

The reasoning is more or less the same as described in
commit bc083a64b6c0 ("init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UML").

[ Upstream commit 550c10d28d21bd82a8bb48debbb27e6ed53262f6 ]

The .bss section for the h8300 is relatively small. A value of
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT that is larger than 19 will create a static
printk ringbuffer that is too large. Limit the range appropriately
for the H8300.

<title>Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4cdd5c0c6b134563e18d207a7212a01a715145ad</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream.

We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.

For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions &lt; 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size.  And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).

And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.

At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.

So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".

Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would.  In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.

That's currently not the world we live in, though.

<content type='text'>
commit b303c6df80c9f8f13785aa83a0471fca7e38b24d upstream.

Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched
various false positives:

 - commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building
   with -Os") turned off this option for -Os.

 - commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning
   for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for
   CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES

 - commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
   for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC &lt; 4.9
   Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903

I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.

<title>bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config</title>

[ upstream commit 290af86629b25ffd1ed6232c4e9107da031705cb ]

The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715.

A quote from goolge project zero blog:
"At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in
the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading
from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result
appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an
attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together
and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying.
So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into
the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside
a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient
to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets."

To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config
option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode.
So far eBPF JIT is supported by:
x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64

The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only.
In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden

v2-&gt;v3:
- move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel)

v1-&gt;v2:
- fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback)
- fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback)
- add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog-&gt;bpf_func
- retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk.
  It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next

Considered doing:
  int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT;
but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove
bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place
and remove this jit_init() function.

<content type='text'>
The choice containing the CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE symbol
accidentally added a "CONFIG_" prefix when trying to make it the
default, selecting an undefined symbol as the default.

The mistake is harmless here: Since the default symbol is not visible,
the choice falls back on using the visible symbol as the default
instead, which is CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE, as intended.

A patch that makes Kconfig print a warning in this case has been
submitted separately:

<title>mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2482ddec670fb83717d129012bc558777cb159f7</id>
<content type='text'>
This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad
Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX
based on my understanding of the code.  Changes or omissions from the
original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX
code.

This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with
their freelist pointer address and value.  This adds nearly zero
overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation
method of overwriting freelist pointers.

A recent example of the attack is written up here:

  http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit

and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to
Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core".

This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the
use of #ifdef.

With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following
run times:

 before:
 	mean 10.11882499999999999995
	variance .03320378329145728642
	stdev .18221905304181911048

  after:
	mean 10.12654000000000000014
	variance .04700556623115577889
	stdev .21680767106160192064

The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken
literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.
