[ Upstream commit 0776d1231bec0c7ab43baf440a3f5ef5f49dd795 ]

Reset the member "test_fs" of the test configuration after a call of the
function "kfree_const" to a null pointer so that a double memory release
will not be performed.

[ Upstream commit f678ce8cc3cb2ad29df75d8824c74f36398ba871 ]

ddebug_describe_flags() currently fills a caller provided string buffer,
after testing its size (also passed) in a BUG_ON.  Fix this by
replacing them with a known-big-enough string buffer wrapped in a
struct, and passing that instead.

Also simplify ddebug_describe_flags() flags parameter from a struct to
a member in that struct, and hoist the member deref up to the caller.
This makes the function reusable (soon) where flags are unpacked.

<title>random32: remove net_rand_state from the latent entropy gcc plugin</title>

commit 83bdc7275e6206f560d247be856bceba3e1ed8f2 upstream.

It turns out that the plugin right now ends up being really unhappy
about the change from 'static' to 'extern' storage that happened in
commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt
and activity").

This is probably a trivial fix for the latent_entropy plugin, but for
now, just remove net_rand_state from the list of things the plugin
worries about.

commit f227e3ec3b5cad859ad15666874405e8c1bbc1d4 upstream.

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.

Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.

In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state.  For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.

<title>lib/zlib: remove outdated and incorrect pre-increment optimization</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit acaab7335bd6f0c0b54ce3a00bd7f18222ce0f5f ]

The zlib inflate code has an old micro-optimization based on the
assumption that for pre-increment memory accesses, the compiler will
generate code that fits better into the processor's pipeline than what
would be generated for post-increment memory accesses.

This optimization was already removed in upstream zlib in 2016:
https://github.com/madler/zlib/commit/9aaec95e8211

This optimization causes UB according to C99, which says in section 6.5.6
"Additive operators": "If both the pointer operand and the result point to
elements of the same array object, or one past the last element of the
array object, the evaluation shall not produce an overflow; otherwise, the
behavior is undefined".

This UB is not only a theoretical concern, but can also cause trouble for
future work on compiler-based sanitizers.

According to the zlib commit, this optimization also is not optimal
anymore with modern compilers.

Replace uses of OFF, PUP and UP_UNALIGNED with their definitions in the
POSTINC case, and remove the macro definitions, just like in the upstream
patch.

[ Upstream commit 18f1ca46858eac22437819937ae44aa9a8f9f2fa ]

When building 64r6_defconfig with CONFIG_MIPS32_O32 disabled and
CONFIG_CRYPTO_RSA enabled:

lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.c:37:24: error: invalid use of a cast in a

                         ~~~~~~~~~~^~~
2 errors generated.

This special case for umul_ppmm for MIPS64r6 was added in
commit bbc25bee37d2b ("lib/mpi: Fix umul_ppmm() for MIPS64r6"), due to
GCC being inefficient and emitting a __multi3 intrinsic.

There is no such issue with clang; with this patch applied, I can build
this configuration without any problems and there are no link errors
like mentioned in the commit above (which I can still reproduce with
GCC 9.3.0 when that commit is reverted). Only use this definition when
GCC is being used.

This really should have been caught by commit b0c091ae04f67 ("lib/mpi:
Eliminate unused umul_ppmm definitions for MIPS") when I was messing
around in this area but I was not testing 64-bit MIPS at the time.

commit ab10ae1c3bef56c29bac61e1201c752221b87b41 upstream.

The range passed to user_access_begin() by strncpy_from_user() and
strnlen_user() starts at 'src' and goes up to the limit of userspace
although reads will be limited by the 'count' param.

On 32 bits powerpc (book3s/32) access has to be granted for each
256Mbytes segment and the cost increases with the number of segments to
unlock.

Limit the range with 'count' param.

commit 594cc251fdd0d231d342d88b2fdff4bc42fb0690 upstream.

Originally, the rule used to be that you'd have to do access_ok()
separately, and then user_access_begin() before actually doing the
direct (optimized) user access.

But experience has shown that people then decide not to do access_ok()
at all, and instead rely on it being implied by other operations or
similar.  Which makes it very hard to verify that the access has
actually been range-checked.

If you use the unsafe direct user accesses, hardware features (either
SMAP - Supervisor Mode Access Protection - on x86, or PAN - Privileged
Access Never - on ARM) do force you to use user_access_begin().  But
nothing really forces the range check.

By putting the range check into user_access_begin(), we actually force
people to do the right thing (tm), and the range check vill be visible
near the actual accesses.  We have way too long a history of people
trying to avoid them.

commit af700eaed0564d5d3963a7a51cb0843629d7fe3d upstream.

objtool points out several conditions that it does not like, depending
on the combination with other configuration options and compiler
variants:

stack protector:
  lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch()+0xbf: call to __stack_chk_fail() with UACCESS enabled
  lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1()+0xbe: call to __stack_chk_fail() with UACCESS enabled

stackleak plugin:
  lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch()+0x4a: call to stackleak_track_stack() with UACCESS enabled
  lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1()+0x4a: call to stackleak_track_stack() with UACCESS enabled

kasan:
  lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch()+0x25: call to memcpy() with UACCESS enabled
  lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1()+0x25: call to memcpy() with UACCESS enabled

The stackleak and kasan options just need to be disabled for this file
as we do for other files already.  For the stack protector, we already
attempt to disable it, but this fails on clang because the check is
mixed with the gcc specific -fno-conserve-stack option.  According to
Andrey Ryabinin, that option is not even needed, dropping it here fixes
the stackprotector issue.

commit d08965a27e84ca090b504844d50c24fc98587b11 upstream.

UBSAN can insert extra code in random locations; including AC=1
sections. Typically this code is not safe and needs wrapping.

So far, only __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch* have been observed in AC=1
sections and therefore only those are annotated.
