8e2fe1d9f1 bpf: add new arg_type that allows for 0 sized stack buffer
Currently, when we pass a buffer from the eBPF stack into a helper
function, the function proto indicates argument types as ARG_PTR_TO_STACK
and ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE pair. If R<X> contains the former, then R<X+1>
must be of the latter type. Then, verifier checks whether the buffer
points into eBPF stack, is initialized, etc. The verifier also guarantees
that the constant value passed in R<X+1> is greater than 0, so helper
functions don't need to test for it and can always assume a non-NULL
initialized buffer as well as non-0 buffer size.

This patch adds a new argument types ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE_OR_ZERO that
allows to also pass NULL as R<X> and 0 as R<X+1> into the helper function.
Such helper functions, of course, need to be able to handle these cases
internally then. Verifier guarantees that either R<X> == NULL && R<X+1> == 0
or R<X> != NULL && R<X+1> != 0 (like the case of ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE), any
other combinations are not possible to load.

I went through various options of extending the verifier, and introducing
the type ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE_OR_ZERO seems to have most minimal changes
needed to the verifier.

59ceeaaf35 kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region()
In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is
detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be
released.  A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept.  At wake-up
this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region.

A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for
example the conflicting resource have already been freed).  Another
problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a
remaining conflict.  The previously conflicting resource is passed as a
parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the
children of this resource and not at the resource itself.  It is likely
to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict.

Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to
__request_region().

As a fix, this patch doesn't update the parent resource pointer in the
case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.

d5a3b1f691 bpf: introduce BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE
add new map type to store stack traces and corresponding helper
bpf_get_stackid(ctx, map, flags) - walk user or kernel stack and return id
@ctx: struct pt_regs*
@map: pointer to stack_trace map
@flags: bits 0-7 - numer of stack frames to skip
        bit 8 - collect user stack instead of kernel
        bit 9 - compare stacks by hash only
        bit 10 - if two different stacks hash into the same stackid
                 discard old
        other bits - reserved
Return: >= 0 stackid on success or negative error

stackid is a 32-bit integer handle that can be further combined with
other data (including other stackid) and used as a key into maps.

Userspace will access stackmap using standard lookup/delete syscall commands to
retrieve full stack trace for given stackid.

7dcd182bec ftrace/module: remove ftrace module notifier
Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.

This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

27ca9236c9 perf/core: Remove the bogus and dangerous CPU_DOWN_FAILED hotplug state
If CPU_DOWN_PREPARE fails the perf hotplug notifier is called for
CPU_DOWN_FAILED and calls perf_event_init_cpu(), which checks whether the
swhash is referenced. If yes it allocates a new hash and stores the pointer in
the per cpu data structure.

But at this point the cpu is still online, so there must be a valid hash
already. By overwriting the pointer the existing hash is not longer
accessible.

Remove the CPU_DOWN_FAILED state, as there is nothing to (re)allocate.

db78c22230 mm: fix pfn_t vs highmem
The pfn_t type uses an unsigned long to store a pfn + flags value.  On a
64-bit platform the upper 12 bits of an unsigned long are never used for
storing the value of a pfn.  However, this is not true on highmem
platforms, all 32-bits of a pfn value are used to address a 44-bit
physical address space.  A pfn_t needs to store a 64-bit value.

4a389810bc kernel/locking/lockdep.c: convert hash tables to hlists
Mike said:

: CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT breaks x86-64 kernel with lockdep enabled, i.  e
: kernel with CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT fails to load without even any error
: message.
:
: The problem is that ubsan callbacks use spinlocks and might be called
: before lockdep is initialized.  Particularly this line in the
: reserve_ebda_region function causes problem:
:
: lowmem = *(unsigned short *)__va(BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES);
:
: If i put lockdep_init() before reserve_ebda_region call in
: x86_64_start_reservations kernel loads well.

Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses
hlists for the hash tables.  Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its
initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for
operation immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run.

The patch will also save some memory.

lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now - a 4.6
patch has been prepared to do this.

a1b14d27ed bpf: fix branch offset adjustment on backjumps after patching ctx expansion
When ctx access is used, the kernel often needs to expand/rewrite
instructions, so after that patching, branch offsets have to be
adjusted for both forward and backward jumps in the new eBPF program,
but for backward jumps it fails to account the delta. Meaning, for
example, if the expansion happens exactly on the insn that sits at
the jump target, it doesn't fix up the back jump offset.

Analysis on what the check in adjust_branches() is currently doing:

  /* adjust offset of jmps if necessary */
  if (i < pos && i + insn->off + 1 > pos)
    insn->off += delta;
  else if (i > pos && i + insn->off + 1 < pos)
    insn->off -= delta;

First condition (forward jumps):

  Before:                         After:

  insns[0]                        insns[0]
  insns[1] <--- i/insn            insns[1] <--- i/insn
  insns[2] <--- pos               insns[P] <--- pos
  insns[3]                        insns[P]  `------| delta
  insns[4] <--- target_X          insns[P]   `-----|
  insns[5]                        insns[3]
                                  insns[4] <--- target_X
                                  insns[5]

First case is if we cross pos-boundary and the jump instruction was
before pos. This is handeled correctly. I.e. if i == pos, then this
would mean our jump that we currently check was the patchlet itself
that we just injected. Since such patchlets are self-contained and
have no awareness of any insns before or after the patched one, the
delta is correctly not adjusted. Also, for the second condition in
case of i + insn->off + 1 == pos, means we jump to that newly patched
instruction, so no offset adjustment are needed. That part is correct.

Second condition (backward jumps):

  Before:                         After:

  insns[0]                        insns[0]
  insns[1] <--- target_X          insns[1] <--- target_X
  insns[2] <--- pos <-- target_Y  insns[P] <--- pos <-- target_Y
  insns[3]                        insns[P]  `------| delta
  insns[4] <--- i/insn            insns[P]   `-----|
  insns[5]                        insns[3]
                                  insns[4] <--- i/insn
                                  insns[5]

Second interesting case is where we cross pos-boundary and the jump
instruction was after pos. Backward jump with i == pos would be
impossible and pose a bug somewhere in the patchlet, so the first
condition checking i > pos is okay only by itself. However, i +
insn->off + 1 < pos does not always work as intended to trigger the
adjustment. It works when jump targets would be far off where the
delta wouldn't matter. But, for example, where the fixed insn->off
before pointed to pos (target_Y), it now points to pos + delta, so
that additional room needs to be taken into account for the check.
This means that i) both tests here need to be adjusted into pos + delta,
and ii) for the second condition, the test needs to be <= as pos
itself can be a target in the backjump, too.

d6e022f1d2 workqueue: handle NUMA_NO_NODE for unbound pool_workqueue lookup
When looking up the pool_workqueue to use for an unbound workqueue,
workqueue assumes that the target CPU is always bound to a valid NUMA
node.  However, currently, when a CPU goes offline, the mapping is
destroyed and cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE.

This has always been broken but hasn't triggered often enough before
874bbfe600 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu").
After the commit, workqueue forcifully assigns the local CPU for
delayed work items without explicit target CPU to fix a different
issue.  This widens the window where CPU can go offline while a
delayed work item is pending causing delayed work items dispatched
with target CPU set to an already offlined CPU.  The resulting
NUMA_NO_NODE mapping makes workqueue try to queue the work item on a
NULL pool_workqueue and thus crash.

While 874bbfe600 has been reverted for a different reason making the
bug less visible again, it can still happen.  Fix it by mapping
NUMA_NO_NODE to the default pool_workqueue from unbound_pwq_by_node().
This is a temporary workaround.  The long term solution is keeping CPU
-> NODE mapping stable across CPU off/online cycles which is being
worked on.

2178cbc68f Merge tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux
Pull module fixes from Rusty Russell:
 "Fix for async_probe module param added in 4.3 (clearly not widely used
  yet), and a much more interesting kallsyms race which has been around
  approximately forever.  This fix is more invasive, and will require
  some care in backporting, but I hated all the bandaids I could think
  of, so...

  There are some more coming, which are only for breakages introduced
  this cycle (livepatch), but wanted these in now"

* tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
  modules: fix longstanding /proc/kallsyms vs module insertion race.
  module: wrapper for symbol name.
  modules: fix modparam async_probe request

f303fccb82 workqueue: implement "workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu" debug feature
Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued
without explicit target CPU.  The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways.  To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.

The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel
parameter.  The default can be flipped with a debug config option.

If you hit this commit during bisection, please refer to 041bd12e27
("Revert "workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"") for
more information and ping me.

ef55718044 workqueue: schedule WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work on wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work items queued to a bound workqueue always run
locally.  This is a good thing normally, but not when the user has
asked us to keep unbound work away from certain CPUs.  Round robin
these to wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs instead, as perturbation avoidance
trumps performance.

tj: Cosmetic and comment changes.  WARN_ON_ONCE() dropped from empty
    (wq_unbound_cpumask AND cpu_online_mask).  If we want that, it
    should be done when config changes.
