Summary
rseq: Fix using an uninitialized stack variable in rseq_exit_user_update()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rseq: Fix using an uninitialized stack variable in rseqexituser_update()

There is an bug in which an uninitialized stack variable is used in rseqexituser_update() as reported by syzbot:

BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in rseqsetidsgetcsaddr include/linux/rseq_entry.h:502 [inline]

The local variable:

struct rseq_ids ids = {
    .cpu_id  = task_cpu(t),
    .mm_cid  = task_mm_cid(t),
    .node_id = cpu_to_node(ids.cpu_id),
};

According to the C standard, the evaluation order of expressions in an initializer list is indeterminately sequenced. The compiler (Clang, in this KMSAN build) evaluates cpu_to_node(ids.cpu_id) before ids.cpu_id is initialized with task_cpu(t).

This is fixed by moving the assignment of ids.node_id outside the structure initialization.
