prev_padding represents the unused space of certain subbuffer. If the
content of a call of relay_write() exceeds the limit of the remainder of
this subbuffer, it will skip storing in the rest space and record the
start point as buf->prev_padding in relay_switch_subbuf(). Since the buf
is a per-cpu big buffer, the point of prev_padding as a global value for
the whole buffer instead of a single subbuffer (whose padding info is
stored in buf->padding[]) seems meaningless from the real use cases, so
we don't bother to record it any more.

When using relay mechanism, we often encounter the case where new data
are lost or old unconsumed data are overwritten because of slow reader.

Add 'full' field in per-cpu buffer structure to detect if the above case
is happening.  Relay has two modes: 1) non-overwrite mode, 2) overwrite
mode. So buffer being full here respectively means: 1) relayfs doesn't
intend to accept new data and then simply drop them, or 2) relayfs is
going to start over again and overwrite old unread data with new data.

Note: this counter doesn't need any explicit lock to protect from being
modified by different threads for the better performance consideration.
Writers calling __relay_write/relay_write should consider how to use
the lock and ensure it performs under the lock protection, thus it's
not necessary to add a new small lock here.

In this version, only support getting the counter for buffer full and
implement the framework of how it works.

Users can pass certain flag to fetch what field/statistics they expect
to know. Each time it only returns one result. So do not pass multiple
flags.

Replace internal subbuf_start in blktrace with the default policy
in relayfs.

Remove dropped field from struct blktrace. Correspondingly, call the
common helper in relay. By incrementing full_count to keep track of how
many times we encountered a full buffer issue, user space will know how
many events were lost.

It really doesn't matter if the user/admin knows what the last too
big value is. Record how many times this case is triggered would be
helpful.

Solve the existing issue where relay_reset() doesn't restore
the value.

Store the counter in the per-cpu buffer structure instead of the global
buffer structure. It also solves the racy condition which is likely
to happen when a few of per-cpu buffers encounter the too big data case
and then access the global field last_toobig without lock protection.

Remove the printk in relay_close() since kernel module can directly call
relay_stats() as they want.

In probe appletb_kbd_probe() a "struct appletb_kbd *kbd" is allocated
via devm_kzalloc() to store touch bar keyboard related data.
Later on if backlight_device_get_by_name() finds a backlight device
with name "appletb_backlight" a timer (kbd->inactivity_timer) is setup
with appletb_inactivity_timer() and the timer is armed to run after
appletb_tb_dim_timeout (60) seconds.

A use-after-free is triggered when failure occurs after the timer is
armed. This ultimately means probe failure occurs and as a result the
"struct appletb_kbd *kbd" which is device managed memory is freed.
After 60 seconds the timer will have expired and __run_timers will
attempt to access the timer (kbd->inactivity_timer) however the kdb
structure has been freed causing a use-after free.

The root cause of the issue is that the timer is not disarmed
on failure paths leading to it remaining active and accessing
freed memory. To fix this call timer_delete_sync() to deactivate
the timer.

Another small issue is that timer_delete_sync is called
unconditionally in appletb_kbd_remove(), fix this by checking
for a valid kbd->backlight_dev before calling timer_delete_sync.

The hangup happens because nothing in` perf` or `elfutils` checks if a
mapped file is easily readable.

The change conservatively skips all non-regular files.

The cause is that perf_env__find_br_cntr_info tries to access a
null pointer pmu_caps in the perf_env struct. A similar issue exists
for homogeneous core systems which use the cpu_pmu_caps structure.

Fix this by populating cpu_pmu_caps and pmu_caps structures with
values from sysfs when calling perf top with branch stack sampling
enabled.

This issue was found by syzkaller.

The panic happens in br_dev_queue_push_xmit() once it receives a
corrupted skb with ETH header already pushed in linear data. When it
attempts the skb_push() call, there's not enough headroom and
skb_push() panics.

The corrupted skb is put on the queue by HSR layer, which makes a
sequence of unintended transformations when it receives a specific
corrupted HSR frame (with incomplete TAG).

Fix it by dropping and consuming frames that are not long enough to
contain both ethernet and hsr headers.

Alternative fix would be to check for enough headroom before skb_push()
in br_dev_queue_push_xmit().

In the reproducer, this is injected via AF_PACKET, but I don't easily
see why it couldn't be sent over the wire from adjacent network.

Further Details:

In the reproducer, the following network interface chain is set up:

┌────────────────┐   ┌────────────────┐
│ veth0_to_hsr   ├───┤  hsr_slave0    ┼───┐
└────────────────┘   └────────────────┘   │

To trigger the events leading up to crash, reproducer sends a corrupted
HSR frame with incomplete TAG, via AF_PACKET socket on 'veth0_to_hsr'.

The first HSR-layer function to process this frame is
hsr_handle_frame(). It and then checks if the
protocol is ETH_P_PRP or ETH_P_HSR. If it is, it calls
skb_set_network_header(skb, ETH_HLEN + HSR_HLEN), without checking that
the skb is long enough. For the crashing frame it is not, and hence the
skb->network_header and skb->mac_len fields are set incorrectly,
pointing after the end of the linear buffer.

I will call this a BUG#1 and it is what is addressed by this patch. In
the crashing scenario before the fix, the skb continues to go down the
hsr path as follows.

hsr_handle_frame() then calls this sequence
hsr_forward_skb()
  fill_frame_info()
    hsr->proto_ops->fill_frame_info()
      hsr_fill_frame_info()

hsr_fill_frame_info() contains a check that intends to check whether the
skb actually contains the HSR header. But the check relies on the
skb->mac_len field which was erroneously setup due to BUG#1, so the
check passes and the execution continues  back in the hsr_forward_skb():

hsr_forward_skb()
  hsr_forward_do()
    hsr->proto_ops->get_untagged_frame()
      hsr_get_untagged_frame()
        create_stripped_skb_hsr()

In create_stripped_skb_hsr(), a copy of the skb is created and is
further corrupted by operation that attempts to strip the HSR tag in a
call to __pskb_copy().

The skb enters create_stripped_skb_hsr() with ethernet header pushed in
linear buffer. The skb_pull(skb_in, HSR_HLEN) thus pulls 6 bytes of
ethernet header into the headroom, creating skb_in with a headroom of
size 8. The subsequent __pskb_copy() then creates an skb with headroom
of just 2 and skb->len of just 12, this is how it looks after the copy:

gdb) p skb->len
$10 = 12
(gdb) p skb->data
$11 = (unsigned char *) 0xffff888041e45382 "\252\252\252\252\252!\210\373",
(gdb) p skb->head
$12 = (unsigned char *) 0xffff888041e45380 ""

It seems create_stripped_skb_hsr() assumes that ETH header is pulled
in the headroom when it's entered, because it just pulls HSR header on
top. But that is not the case in our code-path and we end up with the
corrupted skb instead. I will call this BUG#2

*I got confused here because it seems that under no conditions can
create_stripped_skb_hsr() work well, the assumption it makes is not true
during the processing of hsr frames - since the skb_push() in
hsr_handle_frame to skb_pull in hsr_deliver_master(). I wonder whether I
missed something here.*

Next, the execution arrives in hsr_deliver_master(). It calls
skb_pull(ETH_HLEN), which just returns NULL - the SKB does not have
enough space for the pull (as it only has 12 bytes in total at this
point).

*The skb_pull() here further suggests that ethernet header is meant
to be pushed through the whole hsr processing and
create_stripped_skb_hsr() should pull it before doing the HSR header
pull.*

hsr_deliver_master() then puts the corrupted skb on the queue, it is
then picked up from there by bridge frame handling layer and finally
lands in br_dev_queue_push_xmit where it panics.

The test starts a workload and then opens events. If the events fail
to open, for example because of perf_event_paranoid, the gopipe of the
workload is leaked and the file descriptor leak check fails when the
test exits. To avoid this cancel the workload when opening the events
fails.

The ETM decoder incorrectly assumed that auxtrace queue indices were
equivalent to CPU number. This assumption is used for inserting records
into the queue, and for fetching queues when given a CPU number. This
assumption held when Perf always opened a dummy event on every CPU, even
if the user provided a subset of CPUs on the commandline, resulting in
the indices aligning.

For example:

  # event : name = cs_etm//u, , id = { 2451, 2452 }, type = 11 (cs_etm), size = 136, config = 0x4010, { sample_period, samp>
  # event : name = dummy:u, , id = { 2453, 2454, 2455, 2456 }, type = 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE), size = 136, config = 0x9 (PER>

  0 0 0x200 [0xd0]: PERF_RECORD_ID_INDEX nr: 6
  ... id: 2451  idx: 2  cpu: 2  tid: -1
  ... id: 2452  idx: 3  cpu: 3  tid: -1
  ... id: 2453  idx: 0  cpu: 0  tid: -1
  ... id: 2454  idx: 1  cpu: 1  tid: -1
  ... id: 2455  idx: 2  cpu: 2  tid: -1
  ... id: 2456  idx: 3  cpu: 3  tid: -1

Since commit 811082e ("perf parse-events: Support user CPUs mixed
with threads/processes") the dummy event no longer behaves in this way,
making the ETM event indices start from 0 on the first CPU recorded
regardless of its ID:

  # event : name = cs_etm//u, , id = { 771, 772 }, type = 11 (cs_etm), size = 144, config = 0x4010, { sample_period, sample>
  # event : name = dummy:u, , id = { 773, 774 }, type = 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE), size = 144, config = 0x9 (PERF_COUNT_SW_DUM>

  ... id: 773  idx: 0  cpu: 2  tid: -1
  ... id: 774  idx: 1  cpu: 3  tid: -1

This causes the following segfault when decoding:

  $ perf record -e cs_etm//u -C 2,3 -- true
  $ perf report

  perf: Segmentation fault

Fix it by inserting into the queues based on CPU number, rather than
using the index.

XDP multi-buf programs can modify the layout of the XDP buffer when the
program calls bpf_xdp_pull_data() or bpf_xdp_adjust_tail(). The
referenced commit in the fixes tag corrected the assumption in the mlx5
driver that the XDP buffer layout doesn't change during a program
execution. However, this fix introduced another issue: the dropped
fragments still need to be counted on the driver side to avoid page
fragment reference counting issues.

Such issue can be observed with the
test_xdp_native_adjst_tail_shrnk_data selftest when using a payload of
3600 and shrinking by 256 bytes (an upcoming selftest patch): the last
fragment gets released by the XDP code but doesn't get tracked by the
driver. This results in a negative pp_ref_count during page release and
the following splat:

This patch fixes the issue by doing page frag counting on all the
original XDP buffer fragments for all relevant XDP actions (XDP_TX ,
XDP_REDIRECT and XDP_PASS). This is basically reverting to the original
counting before the commit in the fixes tag.

As frag_page is still pointing to the original tail, the nr_frags
parameter to xdp_update_skb_frags_info() needs to be calculated
in a different way to reflect the new nr_frags.
