[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

Pull quota fixes from Jan Kara:
 "The most important part in the pull is disablement of the new syscall
  quotactl_path() which was added in rc1.

  The reason is some people at LWN discussion pointed out dirfd would be
  useful for this path based syscall and Christian Brauner agreed.

  Without dirfd it may be indeed problematic for containers. So let's
  just disable the syscall for now when it doesn't have users yet so
  that we have more time to mull over how to best specify the filesystem
  we want to work on"

In commit fa8b90070a80 ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up
new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have
objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument
which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed
they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and
Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its
API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it
hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New feature:

   - A new "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory.

     When set the function tracer will detect if the current function
     being traced is the same as the previous one, and instead of
     recording it, it will keep track of the number of times that the
     function is repeated in a row. And when another function is
     recorded, it will write a new event that shows the function that
     repeated, the number of times it repeated and the time stamp of
     when the last repeated function occurred.

  Enhancements:

   - In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
     buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
     as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
     timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no
     longer needs to waste ring buffer space.

   - New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
     dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.

  Fixes:

   - No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for
     "saved_cmdlines" to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows
     for a much larger range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the
     task names to be dropped for all tasks with a PID greater than
     32768.

   - Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.

  Clean ups:

   - Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.

   - Better management of ftrace_page allocations"

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris:
 "Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün.

  Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing.

  From Mickaël's cover letter:
    "The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
     global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock
     is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security
     sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing
     system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to
     help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious
     behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any
     process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict
     themselves.

     Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering
     syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the
     use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the
     kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS
     sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD
     Pledge/Unveil.

     In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features.
     This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This
     series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the
     combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing,
     init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]"

  The cover letter and v34 posting is here:

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris:
 "Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün.

  Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing.

  From Mickaël's cover letter:
    "The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
     global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock
     is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security
     sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing
     system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to
     help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious
     behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any
     process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict
     themselves.

     Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering
     syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the
     use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the
     kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS
     sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD
     Pledge/Unveil.

     In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features.
     This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This
     series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the
     combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing,
     init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "This is a large update by KVM standards, including AMD PSP (Platform
  Security Processor, aka "AMD Secure Technology") and ARM CoreSight
  (debug and trace) changes.

  ARM:

   - CoreSight: Add support for ETE and TRBE

   - Stage-2 isolation for the host kernel when running in protected
     mode

   - Guest SVE support when running in nVHE mode

   - Force W^X hypervisor mappings in nVHE mode

   - ITS save/restore for guests using direct injection with GICv4.1

   - nVHE panics now produce readable backtraces

   - Guest support for PTP using the ptp_kvm driver

   - Performance improvements in the S2 fault handler

  x86:

   - AMD PSP driver changes

   - Optimizations and cleanup of nested SVM code

   - AMD: Support for virtual SPEC_CTRL

   - Optimizations of the new MMU code: fast invalidation, zap under
     read lock, enable/disably dirty page logging under read lock

   - /dev/kvm API for AMD SEV live migration (guest API coming soon)

   - support SEV virtual machines sharing the same encryption context

   - support SGX in virtual machines

   - add a few more statistics

   - improved directed yield heuristics

   - Lots and lots of cleanups

  Generic:

   - Rework of MMU notifier interface, simplifying and optimizing the
     architecture-specific code

   - a handful of "Get rid of oprofile leftovers" patches

   - Some selftests improvements"
