Cap the maximum (total) value size and bail out if larger than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE
as otherwise it doesn't make any sense to proceed further, since we're
guaranteed to fail to allocate elements anyway in lpm_trie_node_alloc();
likleyhood of failure is still high for large values, though, similarly
as with htab case in non-prealloc.
Next, make sure that cost vars are really u64 instead of size_t, so that we
don't overflow on 32 bit and charge only tiny map.pages against memlock while
allowing huge max_entries; cap also the max cost like we do with other map
types.

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdb ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

The hwlat tracer creates a kernel thread at start of the tracer. It is
pinned to a single CPU and will move to the next CPU after each period of
running. If the user modifies the migration thread's affinity, it will not
change after that happens.
The original code created the thread at the first instance it was called,
but later was changed to destroy the thread after the tracer was finished,
and would not be created until the next instance of the tracer was
established. The code that initialized the affinity was only called on the
initial instantiation of the tracer. After that, it was not initialized, and
the previous affinity did not match the current newly created one, making
it appear that the user modified the thread's affinity when it did not, and
the thread failed to migrate again.

Since commit f3b0946d62 ("genirq/msi: Make sure PCI MSIs are
activated early"), we can end-up activating a PCI/MSI twice (once
at allocation time, and once at startup time).
This is normally of no consequences, except that there is some
HW out there that may misbehave if activate is used more than once
(the GICv3 ITS, for example, uses the activate callback
to issue the MAPVI command, and the architecture spec says that
"If there is an existing mapping for the EventID-DeviceID
combination, behavior is UNPREDICTABLE").
While this could be worked around in each individual driver, it may
make more sense to tackle the issue at the core level. In order to
avoid getting in that situation, let's have a per-interrupt flag
to remember if we have already activated that interrupt or not.

Dmitry reported a KASAN use-after-free on event->group_leader.
It turns out there's a hole in perf_remove_from_context() due to
event_function_call() not calling its function when the task
associated with the event is already dead.
In this case the event will have been detached from the task, but the
grouping will have been retained, such that group operations might
still work properly while there are live child events etc.
This does however mean that we can miss a perf_group_detach() call
when the group decomposes, this in turn can then lead to
use-after-free.
Fix it by explicitly doing the group detach if its still required.

before the new cgroup is associated with it kernfs_node. This is fine
for cgroup proper but cgroup_name/path() depend on the associated
kernfs_node and if a subsystem makes the new cgroup_subsys_state
visible, which they're allowed to after onlining, it can lead to NULL
dereference.
The current code performs cgroup creation and subsystem onlining in
cgroup_create() and cgroup_mkdir() makes the cgroup and subsystems
visible afterwards. There's no reason to online the subsystems early
and we can simply drop cgroup_apply_control_enable() call from
cgroup_create() so that the subsystems are onlined and made visible at

This work adds a number of tracepoints to paths that are either
considered slow-path or exception-like states, where monitoring or
inspecting them would be desirable.
For bpf(2) syscall, tracepoints have been placed for main commands
when they succeed. In XDP case, tracepoint is for exceptions, that
is, f.e. on abnormal BPF program exit such as unknown or XDP_ABORTED
return code, or when error occurs during XDP_TX action and the packet
could not be forwarded.
Both have been split into separate event headers, and can be further
extended. Worst case, if they unexpectedly should get into our way in
future, they can also removed [1]. Of course, these tracepoints (like
any other) can be analyzed by eBPF itself, etc. Example output:

On an overloaded system, it is possible that a change in the watchdog
threshold can be delayed long enough to trigger a false positive.
This can easily be achieved by having a cpu spinning indefinitely on a
task, while another cpu updates watchdog threshold.
What happens is while trying to park the watchdog threads, the hrtimers
on the other cpus trigger and reprogram themselves with the new slower
watchdog threshold. Meanwhile, the nmi watchdog is still programmed
with the old faster threshold.
Because the one cpu is blocked, it prevents the thread parking on the
other cpus from completing, which is needed to shutdown the nmi watchdog
and reprogram it correctly. As a result, a false positive from the nmi
watchdog is reported.
Fix this by setting a park_in_progress flag to block all lockups until
the parking is complete.
Fix provided by Ulrich Obergfell.

userns: Make ucounts lock irq-safe
William reported couple of issues in relation to direct packet
access. Typical scheme is to check for data + [off] <= data_end,
where [off] can be either immediate or coming from a tracked
register that contains an immediate, depending on the branch, we
can then access the data. However, in case of calculating [off]
for either the mentioned test itself or for access after the test
in a more "complex" way, then the verifier will stop tracking the
CONST_IMM marked register and will mark it as UNKNOWN_VALUE one.
Adding that UNKNOWN_VALUE typed register to a pkt() marked
register, the verifier then bails out in check_packet_ptr_add()
as it finds the registers imm value below 48. In the first below
example, that is due to evaluate_reg_imm_alu() not handling right
shifts and thus marking the register as UNKNOWN_VALUE via helper
__mark_reg_unknown_value() that resets imm to 0.
In the second case the same happens at the time when r4 is set
to r4 &= r5, where it transitions to UNKNOWN_VALUE from
evaluate_reg_imm_alu(). Later on r4 we shift right by 3 inside
evaluate_reg_alu(), where the register's imm turns into 3. That
is, for registers with type UNKNOWN_VALUE, imm of 0 means that
we don't know what value the register has, and for imm > 0 it
means that the value has [imm] upper zero bits. F.e. when shifting
an UNKNOWN_VALUE register by 3 to the right, no matter what value
it had, we know that the 3 upper most bits must be zero now.
This is to make sure that ALU operations with unknown registers
don't overflow. Meaning, once we know that we have more than 48
upper zero bits, or, in other words cannot go beyond 0xffff offset
with ALU ops, such an addition will track the target register
as a new pkt() register with a new id, but 0 offset and 0 range,
so for that a new data/data_end test will be required. Is the source
register a CONST_IMM one that is to be added to the pkt() register,
or the source instruction is an add instruction with immediate
value, then it will get added if it stays within max 0xffff bounds.
>From there, pkt() type, can be accessed should reg->off + imm be
within the access range of pkt().
[...]

33: (bf) r6 = r1

81: (18) r5 = 0xfffffff8
83: (5f) r4 &= r5
84: (77) r4 >>= 3
85: (0f) r1 += r4
cannot add integer value with 3 upper zero bits to ptr_to_packet
Thus to get above use-cases working, evaluate_reg_imm_alu() has
been extended for further ALU ops. This is fine, because we only
operate strictly within realm of CONST_IMM types, so here we don't
care about overflows as they will happen in the simulated but also
real execution and interaction with pkt() in check_packet_ptr_add()
will check actual imm value once added to pkt(), but it's irrelevant
before.
With regards to 06c1c04972 ("bpf: allow helpers access to variable
memory") that works on UNKNOWN_VALUE registers, the verifier becomes
now a bit smarter as it can better resolve ALU ops, so we need to
adapt two test cases there, as min/max bound tracking only becomes
necessary when registers were spilled to stack. So while mask was
set before to track upper bound for UNKNOWN_VALUE case, it's now
resolved directly as CONST_IMM, and such contructs are only necessary
when f.e. registers are spilled.
For commit 6b17387307 ("bpf: recognize 64bit immediate loads as
consts") that initially enabled dw load tracking only for nfp jit/
analyzer, I did couple of tests on large, complex programs and we
don't increase complexity badly (my tests were in ~3% range on avg).
I've added a couple of tests similar to affected code above, and
it works fine with verifier now.

This trie implements a longest prefix match algorithm that can be used
to match IP addresses to a stored set of ranges.
Internally, data is stored in an unbalanced trie of nodes that has a
maximum height of n, where n is the prefixlen the trie was created
with.
Tries may be created with prefix lengths that are multiples of 8, in
the range from 8 to 2048. The key used for lookup and update operations
is a struct bpf_lpm_trie_key, and the value is a uint64_t.

"Remove an unused variable which is a leftover from the notifier
removal"
* 'smp-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
cpu/hotplug: Remove unused but set variable in _cpu_down()
Provide a simple helper with the same semantics of strncpy_from_unsafe():
int bpf_probe_read_str(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_addr)
This gives more flexibility to a bpf program. A typical use case is
intercepting a file name during sys_open(). The current approach is:
SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
{
char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
bpf_probe_read(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di);
/* consume buf */
}
This is suboptimal because the size of the string needs to be estimated
at compile time, causing more memory to be copied than often necessary,
and can become more problematic if further processing on buf is done,
for example by pushing it to userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(),
since the real length of the string is unknown and the entire buffer
must be copied (and defining an unrolled strnlen() inside the bpf
program is a very inefficient and unfeasible approach).
With the new helper, the code can easily operate on the actual string
length rather than the buffer size:
SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
{
char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di);
/* consume buf, for example push it to userspace via
* bpf_perf_event_output(), but this time we can use
* res (the string length) as event size, after checking
* its boundaries.
*/
}
Another useful use case is when parsing individual process arguments or
individual environment variables navigating current->mm->arg_start and
current->mm->env_start: using this helper and the return value, one can
quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area.
The code changes simply leverage the already existent
strncpy_from_unsafe() kernel function, which is safe to be called from a
bpf program as it is used in bpf_trace_printk().

This patch adds two helpers, bpf_map_area_alloc() and bpf_map_area_free(),
that are to be used for map allocations. Using kmalloc() for very large
allocations can cause excessive work within the page allocator, so i) fall
back earlier to vmalloc() when the attempt is considered costly anyway,
and even more importantly ii) don't trigger OOM killer with any of the
allocators.
Since this is based on a user space request, for example, when creating
maps with element pre-allocation, we really want such requests to fail
instead of killing other user space processes.
Also, don't spam the kernel log with warnings should any of the allocations
fail under pressure. Given that, we can make backend selection in
bpf_map_area_alloc() generic, and convert all maps over to use this API
for spots with potentially large allocation requests.
Note, replacing the one kmalloc_array() is fine as overflow checks happen
earlier in htab_map_alloc(), since it must also protect the multiplication
for vmalloc() should kmalloc_array() fail.

The simple solution would have been to reserve a state for LTTNG, but

Commit 7bd509e311 ("bpf: add prog_digest and expose it via
fdinfo/netlink") was recently discussed, partially due to
admittedly suboptimal name of "prog_digest" in combination
with sha1 hash usage, thus inevitably and rightfully concerns
about its security in terms of collision resistance were
raised with regards to use-cases.
The intended use cases are for debugging resp. introspection
only for providing a stable "tag" over the instruction sequence
that both kernel and user space can calculate independently.
It's not usable at all for making a security relevant decision.
So collisions where two different instruction sequences generate
the same tag can happen, but ideally at a rather low rate. The
"tag" will be dumped in hex and is short enough to introspect
in tracepoints or kallsyms output along with other data such
as stack trace, etc. Thus, this patch performs a rename into
prog_tag and truncates the tag to a short output (64 bits) to
make it obvious it's not collision-free.
Should in future a hash or facility be needed with a security
relevant focus, then we can think about requirements, constraints,
etc that would fit to that situation. For now, rework the exposed
parts for the current use cases as long as nothing has been
released yet. Tested on x86_64 and s390x.

Usually I don't care much about out of tree modules, but LTTNG is widely
used in distros. There are two ways to solve that:
1) Reserve a hotplug state for LTTNG
2) Add a dynamic range for the prepare states.
While #1 is the simplest solution, #2 is the proper one as we can convert
in tree users, which do not care about ordering, to the dynamic range as
well.
Add a dynamic range which allows LTTNG to request states in the prepare
stage.

Pull an urgent RCU fix from Paul E. McKenney:
"This series contains a pair of commits that permit RCU synchronous grace
periods (synchronize_rcu() and friends) to work correctly throughout boot.
This eliminates the current "dead time" starting when the scheduler spawns
its first taks and ending when the last of RCU's kthreads is spawned
(this last happens during early_initcall() time). Although RCU's
synchronous grace periods have long been documented as not working
during this time, prior to 4.9, the expedited grace periods worked by
accident, and some ACPI code came to rely on this unintentional behavior.
(Note that this unintentional behavior was -not- reliable. For example,
failures from ACPI could occur on !SMP systems and on systems booting
with the rcu_normal kernel boot parameter.)
Either way, there is a bug that needs fixing, and the 4.9 switch of RCU's
expedited grace periods to workqueues could be considered to have caused
a regression. This series therefore makes RCU's expedited grace periods
operate correctly throughout the boot process. This has been demonstrated
to fix the problems ACPI was encountering, and has the added longer-term
benefit of simplifying RCU's behavior."
