<content type='text'>
commit 153fbd1226fb30b8630802aa5047b8af5ef53c9f upstream.

Dmitry (through syzbot) reported being able to trigger the WARN in
get_pi_state() and a use-after-free on:

	raw_spin_lock_irq(&amp;pi_state-&gt;pi_mutex.wait_lock);

Both are due to this race:

  exit_pi_state_list()				put_pi_state()

  lock(&amp;curr-&gt;pi_lock)
  while() {
	pi_state = list_first_entry(head);
	hb = hash_futex(&amp;pi_state-&gt;key);
	unlock(&amp;curr-&gt;pi_lock);

						dec_and_test(&amp;pi_state-&gt;refcount);

	lock(&amp;hb-&gt;lock)
	lock(&amp;pi_state-&gt;pi_mutex.wait_lock)	// uaf if pi_state free'd
	lock(&amp;curr-&gt;pi_lock);

	....

	unlock(&amp;curr-&gt;pi_lock);
	get_pi_state();				// WARN; refcount==0

The problem is we take the reference count too late, and don't allow it
being 0. Fix it by using inc_not_zero() and simply retrying the loop
when we fail to get a refcount. In that case put_pi_state() should
remove the entry from the list.

commit c74aef2d06a9f59cece89093eecc552933cba72a upstream.

There was a reported suspicion about a race between exit_pi_state_list()
and put_pi_state(). The same report mentioned the comment with
put_pi_state() said it should be called with hb-&gt;lock held, and it no
longer is in all places.

As it turns out, the pi_state-&gt;owner serialization is indeed broken. As per
the new rules:

  734009e96d19 ("futex: Change locking rules")

pi_state-&gt;owner should be serialized by pi_state-&gt;pi_mutex.wait_lock.
For the sites setting pi_state-&gt;owner we already hold wait_lock (where
required) but exit_pi_state_list() and put_pi_state() were not and
raced on clearing it.

<title>futex: Remove unnecessary warning from get_futex_key</title>

<id>urn:sha1:48fb6f4db940e92cfb16cd878cddd59ea6120d06</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 65d8fc777f6d ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in
get_futex_key()") removed an unnecessary lock_page() with the
side-effect that page-&gt;mapping needed to be treated very carefully.

Two defensive warnings were added in case any assumption was missed and
the first warning assumed a correct application would not alter a
mapping backing a futex key.  Since merging, it has not triggered for
any unexpected case but Mark Rutland reported the following bug
triggering due to the first warning.

  kernel BUG at kernel/futex.c:679!
  Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
  Modules linked in:
  CPU: 0 PID: 3695 Comm: syz-executor1 Not tainted 4.13.0-rc3-00020-g307fec773ba3 #3
  Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)
  task: ffff80001e271780 task.stack: ffff000010908000
  PC is at get_futex_key+0x6a4/0xcf0 kernel/futex.c:679

  pc : [&lt;ffff00000821ac14&gt;] lr : [&lt;ffff00000821ac14&gt;] pstate: 80000145

The fact that it's a bug instead of a warning was due to an unrelated
arm64 problem, but the warning itself triggered because the underlying
mapping changed.

This is an application issue but from a kernel perspective it's a
recoverable situation and the warning is unnecessary so this patch
removes the warning.  The warning may potentially be triggered with the
following test program from Mark although it may be necessary to adjust
NR_FUTEX_THREADS to be a value smaller than the number of CPUs in the
system.

    void *mem;

    {
        syscall(SYS_futex, uaddr, op, val, timeout, uaddr2, val3);
    }

    void *poll_futex(void *unused)
    {
        for (;;) {
            futex_wrapper(mem, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI, 1, NULL, mem + 4, 1);
        }
    }

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        int i;

        mem = mmap(NULL, MEM_SIZE, MEM_PROT,
               MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

        printf("Mapping @ %p\n", mem);

        printf("Creating futex threads...\n");

        for (i = 0; i &lt; NR_FUTEX_THREADS; i++)
            pthread_create(&amp;threads[i], NULL, poll_futex, NULL);

        printf("Flipping mapping...\n");
        for (;;) {
            mmap(mem, MEM_SIZE, MEM_PROT,
                 MAP_FIXED | MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

Pull structure randomization updates from Kees Cook:
 "Now that IPC and other changes have landed, enable manual markings for
  randstruct plugin, including the task_struct.

  This is the rest of what was staged in -next for the gcc-plugins, and
  comes in three patches, largest first:

   - mark "easy" structs with __randomize_layout

   - mark task_struct with an optional anonymous struct to isolate the
     __randomize_layout section

   - mark structs to opt _out_ of automated marking (which will come
     later)

  And, FWIW, this continues to pass allmodconfig (normal and patched to
  enable gcc-plugins) builds of x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, and
  s390 for me"

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling
and will be covered in a subsequent patch.

<title>sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t =&gt; wait_queue_entry_t</title>

Rename:

	wait_queue_t		=&gt;	wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.
