<id>urn:sha1:7178be006d495ffb741c329012da289b62dddfe6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0711f0d7050b9e07c44bc159bbc64ac0a1022c7f upstream.

During boot, kernel_init_freeable() initializes `cad_pid` to the init
task's struct pid.  Later on, we may change `cad_pid` via a sysctl, and
when this happens proc_do_cad_pid() will increment the refcount on the
new pid via get_pid(), and will decrement the refcount on the old pid
via put_pid().  As we never called get_pid() when we initialized
`cad_pid`, we decrement a reference we never incremented, can therefore
free the init task's struct pid early.  As there can be dangling
references to the struct pid, we can later encounter a use-after-free
(e.g.  when delivering signals).

This was spotted when fuzzing v5.13-rc3 with Syzkaller, but seems to
have been around since the conversion of `cad_pid` to struct pid in
commit 9ec52099e4b8 ("[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid") from the
pre-KASAN stone age of v2.6.19.

Fix this by getting a reference to the init task's struct pid when we
assign it to `cad_pid`.

Full KASAN splat below.

commit d54ce6158e354f5358a547b96299ecd7f3725393 upstream.

Currently breakpoints in kernel .init.text section are not handled
correctly while allowing to remove them even after corresponding pages
have been freed.

Fix it via killing .init.text section breakpoints just prior to initmem
pages being freed.

Doug: "HW breakpoints aren't handled by this patch but it's probably
not such a big deal".

[ Upstream commit 1b04fa9900263b4e217ca2509fd778b32c2b4eb2 ]

PowerPC testing encountered boot failures due to RCU Tasks not being
fully initialized until core_initcall() time.  This commit therefore
initializes RCU Tasks (along with Rude RCU and RCU Tasks Trace) just
before early_initcall() time, thus allowing waiting on RCU Tasks grace
periods from early_initcall() handlers.

instead of u32. This will allow us to apply bootconfig to the
cross build initrd without caring the endianness.

Pull more Kunit updates from Shuah Khan:

 - add Kunit to kernel_init() and remove KUnit from init calls entirely.

   This addresses the concern that Kunit would not work correctly during
   late init phase.

 - add a linker section where KUnit can put references to its test
   suites.

   This is the first step in transitioning to dispatching all KUnit
   tests from a centralized executor rather than having each as its own
   separate late_initcall.

 - add a centralized executor to dispatch tests rather than relying on
   late_initcall to schedule each test suite separately. Centralized
   execution is for built-in tests only; modules will execute tests when
   loaded.

 - convert bitfield test to use KUnit framework

 - Documentation updates for naming guidelines and how
   kunit_test_suite() works.

 - add test plan to KUnit TAP format

Although we have not seen any actual examples where KUnit doesn't work
because it runs in the late init phase of the kernel, it has been a
concern for some time that this could potentially be an issue in the
future. So, remove KUnit from init calls entirely, instead call directly
from kernel_init() so that KUnit runs after late init.

<content type='text'>
Since kprobe_event= cmdline option allows user to put kprobes on the
functions in initmem, kprobe has to make such probes gone after boot.
Currently the probes on the init functions in modules will be handled
by module callback, but the kernel init text isn't handled.
Without this, kprobes may access non-exist text area to disable or
remove it.
