Security Vulnerabilities

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Handle SRCU initialization failure during page track init
Check the return of init_srcu_struct(), which can fail due to OOM, when
initializing the page track mechanism. Lack of checking leads to a NULL
pointer deref found by a modified syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: conntrack: serialize hash resizes and cleanups
Syzbot was able to trigger the following warning [1]
No repro found by syzbot yet but I was able to trigger similar issue
by having 2 scripts running in parallel, changing conntrack hash sizes,
and:
for j in `seq 1 1000` ; do unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null ; done
It would take more than 5 minutes for net_namespace structures
to be cleaned up.
This is because nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() has to restart everytime
a resize happened.
By adding a mutex, we can serialize hash resizes and cleanups
and also make get_next_corpse() faster by skipping over empty
buckets.
Even without resizes in the picture, this patch considerably
speeds up network namespace dismantles.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc2: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource() returns NULL,
we need check the return value.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix svm_migrate_fini warning
Device manager releases device-specific resources when a driver
disconnects from a device, devm_memunmap_pages and
devm_release_mem_region calls in svm_migrate_fini are redundant.
It causes below warning trace after patch "drm/amdgpu: Split
amdgpu_device_fini into early and late", so remove function
svm_migrate_fini.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: don't call rq_qos_ops->done_bio if the bio isn't tracked
rq_qos framework is only applied on request based driver, so:
1) rq_qos_done_bio() needn't to be called for bio based driver
2) rq_qos_done_bio() needn't to be called for bio which isn't tracked,
such as bios ended from error handling code.
Especially in bio_endio():
1) request queue is referred via bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk->queue, which
may be gone since request queue refcount may not be held in above two
cases
2) q->rq_qos may be freed in blk_cleanup_queue() when calling into
__rq_qos_done_bio()
Fix the potential kernel panic by not calling rq_qos_ops->done_bio if
the bio isn't tracked. This way is safe because both ioc_rqos_done_bio()
and blkcg_iolatency_done_bio() are nop if the bio isn't tracked.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: chipidea: ci_hdrc_imx: Also search for 'phys' phandle
When passing 'phys' in the devicetree to describe the USB PHY phandle
(which is the recommended way according to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/ci-hdrc-usb2.txt) the
following NULL pointer dereference is observed on i.MX7 and i.MX8MM:

[ 1.573973] lr : imx7d_charger_detection+0x22c/0x510
This happens because the charger functions check for the phy presence
inside the imx_usbmisc_data structure (data->usb_phy), but the chipidea
core populates the usb_phy passed via 'phys' inside 'struct ci_hdrc'
(ci->usb_phy) instead.
This causes the NULL pointer dereference inside imx7d_charger_detection().
Fix it by also searching for 'phys' in case 'fsl,usbphy' is not found.
Tested on a imx7s-warp board.

While ftrace is looping over a list of addresses to patch, it always failed
when patching the same function: riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask. Looking at the
backtrace, the illegal instruction is encountered in this same function.
However, patch_text_nosync, after patching the instructions, calls
flush_icache_range. But looking at what happens in this function:
flush_icache_range -> flush_icache_all
-> sbi_remote_fence_i
-> __sbi_rfence_v02
-> riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask
The icache and dcache of the current cpu are never synchronized between the
patching of riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask and calling this same function.
So fix this by flushing the current cpu's icache before asking for the other
cpus to do the same.
