[ Upstream commit 9b044614be12d78d3a93767708b8d02fb7dfa9b0 ]

Running lib_ubsan.ko on arm64 (without CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP) panics the
kernel:

[   31.616546] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: test_ubsan_out_of_bounds+0x158/0x158 [test_ubsan]
[   31.646817] CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 179 Comm: insmod Not tainted 6.15.0-rc2 #1 PREEMPT

[   31.655680]  do_init_module+0x58/0x2b4

That happens because the test corrupts other data in the stack:
400:   d5384108        mrs     x8, sp_el0
404:   f9426d08        ldr     x8, [x8, #1240]

40c:   eb09011f        cmp     x8, x9
410:   54000301        b.ne    470 &lt;test_ubsan_out_of_bounds+0x154&gt;  // b.any

As there is no guarantee the compiler will order the local variables
as declared in the module:
        volatile char above[4] = { }; /* Protect surrounding memory. */
        volatile int arr[4];
        volatile char below[4] = { }; /* Protect surrounding memory. */

There is another problem where the out-of-bound index is 5 which is larger
than the extra surrounding memory for protection.

So, use a struct to enforce the ordering, and fix the index to be 4.
Also, remove some of the volatiles and rely on OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR()

<title>string: Add load_unaligned_zeropad() code path to sized_strscpy()</title>

commit d94c12bd97d567de342fd32599e7cd9e50bfa140 upstream.

The call to read_word_at_a_time() in sized_strscpy() is problematic
with MTE because it may trigger a tag check fault when reading
across a tag granule (16 bytes) boundary. To make this code
MTE compatible, let's start using load_unaligned_zeropad()
on architectures where it is available (i.e. architectures that
define CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS). Because load_unaligned_zeropad()
takes care of page boundaries as well as tag granule boundaries,
also disable the code preventing crossing page boundaries when using
load_unaligned_zeropad().

<title>lib: scatterlist: fix sg_split_phys to preserve original scatterlist offsets</title>

<id>urn:sha1:becd8185b5544995ce54872a89310eb15ed44721</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8b46fdaea819a679da176b879e7b0674a1161a5e upstream.

The split_sg_phys function was incorrectly setting the offsets of all
scatterlist entries (except the first) to 0.  Only the first scatterlist
entry's offset and length needs to be modified to account for the skip.
Setting the rest entries' offsets to 0 could lead to incorrect data
access.

I am using this function in a crypto driver that I'm currently developing
(not yet sent to mailing list).  During testing, it was observed that the
output scatterlists (except the first one) contained incorrect garbage
data.

I narrowed this issue down to the call of sg_split().  Upon debugging
inside this function, I found that this resetting of offset is the cause
of the problem, causing the subsequent scatterlists to point to incorrect
memory locations in a page.  By removing this code, I am obtaining
expected data in all the split output scatterlists.  Thus, this was indeed
causing observable runtime effects!

This patch removes the offending code, ensuring that the page offsets in
the input scatterlist are preserved in the output scatterlist.

commit 92e9bac18124682c4b99ede9ee3bcdd68f121e92 upstream.

The 'device_name' array doesn't exist out of the
'overflow_allocation_test' function scope. However, it is being used as
a driver name when calling 'kunit_driver_create' from
'kunit_device_register'. It produces the kernel panic with KASAN
enabled.

Since this variable is used in one place only, remove it and pass the
device name into kunit_device_register directly as an ascii string.

[ Upstream commit af324dc0e2b558678aec42260cce38be16cc77ca ]

The static code analysis tool "Coverity Scan" pointed the following
implementation details out for further development considerations:
CID 1309755: Unused value
In sw842_compress: A value assigned to a variable is never used. (CWE-563)
returned_value: Assigning value from add_repeat_template(p, repeat_count)
to ret here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used.

Conclusion:
Add error handling for the return value from an add_repeat_template()
call.

commit 5ac9b4e935dfc6af41eee2ddc21deb5c36507a9f upstream.

&gt;From memfd_secret(2) manpage:

  The memory areas backing the file created with memfd_secret(2) are
  visible only to the processes that have access to the file descriptor.
  The memory region is removed from the kernel page tables and only the
  page tables of the processes holding the file descriptor map the
  corresponding physical memory. (Thus, the pages in the region can't be
  accessed by the kernel itself, so that, for example, pointers to the
  region can't be passed to system calls.)

We need to handle this special case gracefully in build ID fetching
code. Return -EFAULT whenever secretmem file is passed to build_id_parse()
family of APIs. Original report and repro can be found in [0].

commit 4f6a6bed0bfef4b966f076f33eb4f5547226056a upstream.

Patch series "simplify split calculation", v3.


This patch (of 3):

The current calculation for splitting nodes tries to enforce a minimum
span on the leaf nodes.  This code is complex and never worked correctly
to begin with, due to the min value being passed as 0 for all leaves.

The calculation should just split the data as equally as possible
between the new nodes.  Note that b_end will be one more than the data,
so the left side is still favoured in the calculation.

The current code may also lead to a deficient node by not leaving enough
data for the right side of the split. This issue is also addressed with
the split calculation change.

commit 5729e06c819184b7ba40869c1ad53e1a463040b2 upstream.

Patch series "Maple tree mas_{next,prev}_range() and cleanup", v4.

This patchset contains a number of clean ups to the code to make it more
usable (next/prev range), the addition of debug output formatting, the
addition of printing the maple state information in the WARN_ON/BUG_ON
code.

There is also work done here to keep nodes active during iterations to
reduce the necessity of re-walking the tree.

Finally, there is a new interface added to move to the next or previous
range in the tree, even if it is empty.

The organisation of the patches is as follows:

0001-0004 - Small clean ups
0005-0018 - Additional debug options and WARN_ON/BUG_ON changes
0019      - Test module __init and __exit addition
0020-0021 - More functional clean ups
0022-0026 - Changes to keep nodes active
0027-0034 - Add new mas_{prev,next}_range()
0035      - Use new mas_{prev,next}_range() in mmap_region()


This patch (of 35):

Static analyser of the maple tree code noticed that the split variable is
being used to dereference into an array prior to checking the variable
itself.  Fix this issue by changing the order of the statement to check
the variable first.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e638072e61726cae363d48812815197a2a0e097f ]

Lockdep has a set of configs used to determine the size of the static
arrays that it uses. However, the upper limit that was initially setup
for these configs is too high (30 bit shift). This equates to several
GiB of static memory for individual symbols. Using such high values
leads to linker errors:

  $ make defconfig
  $ ./scripts/config -e PROVE_LOCKING --set-val LOCKDEP_BITS 30
  $ make olddefconfig all
  [...]
  ld: kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
  ld: section .bss VMA wraps around address space

Adjust the upper limits to the maximum values that avoid these issues.
The need for anything more, likely points to a problem elsewhere. Note
that LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS was intentionally left out as its upper limit
had a different symptom and has already been fixed [1].
