In the pvcalls_new_active_socket() function, most error paths call
pvcalls_back_release_active(fedata-&gt;dev, fedata, map) which calls
sock_release() on "sock".  The bug is that the caller also frees sock.

Fix this by making every error path in pvcalls_new_active_socket()
release the sock, and don't free it in the caller.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the
  rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which
  incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration
  process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been
  soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.

  I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
  feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves
  instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since
  when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end
  up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve
  saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring
  the end element being empty, and just have our registration process
  rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls
  would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and
  maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0].
  Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations
  also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use
  recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.

  And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
  this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
  deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove
  them:

   - register_sysctl_table()
   - register_sysctl_paths()

  During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
  register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of
  this merge window.

  Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this
  pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.

  As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
  these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
  changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.

  The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
  gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
  generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.

  Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
  does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
  you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
  just kept the stragglers after rc3"

bind_evtchn_to_irqhandler() shouldn't be called under spinlock, as it
can sleep.

This requires to move the calls of create_active() out of the locked
regions. This is no problem, as the worst which could happen would be
a spurious call of the interrupt handler, causing a spurious wake_up().

pcistub_device_put() shouldn't be called under spinlock, as it can
sleep.

For this reason pcistub_device_get_pci_dev() needs to be modified:
instead of always calling pcistub_device_get() just do the call of
pcistub_device_get() only if it is really needed. This removes the
need to call pcistub_device_put().

register_sysctl_table() is a deprecated compatibility wrapper.
register_sysctl_init() can do the directory creation for you so just
use that.

<title>ACPI: processor: Fix evaluating _PDC method when running as Xen dom0</title>

In ACPI systems, the OS can direct power management, as opposed to the
firmware.  This OS-directed Power Management is called OSPM.  Part of
telling the firmware that the OS going to direct power management is
making ACPI "_PDC" (Processor Driver Capabilities) calls.  These _PDC
methods must be evaluated for every processor object.  If these _PDC
calls are not completed for every processor it can lead to
inconsistency and later failures in things like the CPU frequency
driver.

In a Xen system, the dom0 kernel is responsible for system-wide power
management.  The dom0 kernel is in charge of OSPM.  However, the
number of CPUs available to dom0 can be different than the number of
CPUs physically present on the system.

This leads to a problem: the dom0 kernel needs to evaluate _PDC for
all the processors, but it can't always see them.

In dom0 kernels, ignore the existing ACPI method for determining if a
processor is physically present because it might not be accurate.
Instead, ask the hypervisor for this information.

Fix this by introducing a custom function to use when running as Xen
dom0 in order to check whether a processor object matches a CPU that's
online.  Such checking is done using the existing information fetched
by the Xen pCPU subsystem, extending it to also store the ACPI ID.

This ensures that _PDC method gets evaluated for all physically online
CPUs, regardless of the number of CPUs made available to dom0.
