A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a
threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met.  When this
happens, all threaded descendant should also have their -&gt;dom_cgrp
updated to the new threaded domain cgroup.  Unfortunately, this
propagation was missing leading to the following failure.

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
  # cat cgroup.subtree_control    # show that no controllers are enabled

  # mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
  # echo threaded &gt; mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type

  At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:

      mycgrp [d]
	  a [dt]
	      b [t]
		  c [inv]

  Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):

  # echo threaded &gt; mycgrp/a/cgroup.type

  By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:

      mycgrp [dt]
	  a [t]
	      b [t]
		  c [inv]

  But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
  "threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():

  # echo threaded &gt; mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
  sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported

This patch fixes the problem by

* Moving the opencoded -&gt;dom_cgrp save and restoration in
  cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so
  that mulitple cgroups can be handled.

* Updating all threaded descendants' -&gt;dom_cgrp to point to the new
  dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.

<title>kernfs: allow creating kernfs objects with arbitrary uid/gid</title>

This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary
uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending
kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments.
The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone
and always create objects belonging to the global root.

When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs
object.

It is unwise to take spin locks from the handlers of trace events.
Mainly, because they can introduce lockups, because it introduces locks
in places that are normally not tested. Worse yet, because trace events
are tucked away in the include/trace/events/ directory, locks that are
taken there are forgotten about.

As a general rule, I tell people never to take any locks in a trace
event handler.

Several cgroup trace event handlers call cgroup_path() which eventually
takes the kernfs_rename_lock spinlock. This injects the spinlock in the
code without people realizing it. It also can cause issues for the
PREEMPT_RT patch, as the spinlock becomes a mutex, and the trace event
handlers are called with preemption disabled.

By moving the calculation of the cgroup_path() out of the trace event
handlers and into a macro (surrounded by a
trace_cgroup_##type##_enabled()), then we could place the cgroup_path
into a string, and pass that to the trace event. Not only does this
remove the taking of the spinlock out of the trace event handler, but
it also means that the cgroup_path() only needs to be called once (it
is currently called twice, once to get the length to reserver the
buffer for, and once again to get the path itself. Now it only needs to
be done once.

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
 "This adds the new overflow checking helpers and adds them to the
  2-factor argument allocators. And this adds the saturating size
  helpers and does a treewide replacement for the struct_size() usage.
  Additionally this adds the overflow testing modules to make sure
  everything works.

  I'm still working on the treewide replacements for allocators with
  "simple" multiplied arguments:

     *alloc(a * b, ...) -&gt; *alloc_array(a, b, ...)

  and

     *zalloc(a * b, ...) -&gt; *calloc(a, b, ...)

  as well as the more complex cases, but that's separable from this
  portion of the series. I expect to have the rest sent before -rc1
  closes; there are a lot of messy cases to clean up.

  Summary:

   - Introduce arithmetic overflow test helper functions (Rasmus)

   - Use overflow helpers in 2-factor allocators (Kees, Rasmus)

   - Introduce overflow test module (Rasmus, Kees)

   - Introduce saturating size helper functions (Matthew, Kees)

   - Treewide use of struct_size() for allocators (Kees)"

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
"CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle
script:

// pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops-&gt;pkey_tbl_len *

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - For cpustat, cgroup has a percpu hierarchical stat mechanism which
   propagates up the hierarchy lazily.

   This contains commits to factor out and generalize the mechanism so
   that it can be used for other cgroup stats too.

   The original intention was to update memcg stats to use it but memcg
   went for a different approach, so still the only user is cpustat. The
   factoring out and generalization still make sense and it's likely
   that this can be used for other purposes in the future.

 - cgroup uses kernfs_notify() (which uses fsnotify()) to inform user
   space of certain events. A rate limiting mechanism is added.

 - Other misc changes.

cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() incorrectly nests non-irq-safe
tasklist_lock inside irq-safe css_set_lock triggering the following
lockdep warning.

  WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
  4.17.0-rc1-00027-gb37d049 #6 Not tainted
  --------------------------------------------------------
  systemd/1 just changed the state of lock:
  00000000fe57773b (css_set_lock){..-.}, at: cgroup_free+0xf2/0x12a
  but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
   (tasklist_lock){.+.+}

  and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

  other info that might help us debug this:
   Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

	 CPU0                    CPU1
	 ----                    ----
    lock(tasklist_lock);
				 local_irq_disable();
				 lock(css_set_lock);
				 lock(tasklist_lock);
    &lt;Interrupt&gt;
      lock(css_set_lock);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

The condition is highly unlikely to actually happen especially given
that the path is executed only once per boot.

Variants of proc_create{,_data} that directly take a seq_file show
callback and drastically reduces the boilerplate code in the callers.

All trivial callers converted over.

<title>cgroup: Add cgroup_subsys-&gt;css_rstat_flush()</title>

This patch adds cgroup_subsys-&gt;css_rstat_flush().  If a subsystem has
this callback, its csses are linked on cgrp-&gt;css_rstat_list and rstat
will call the function whenever the associated cgroup is flushed.
Flush is also performed when such csses are released so that residual
counts aren't lost.

Combined with the rstat API previous patches factored out, this allows
controllers to plug into rstat to manage their statistics in a
scalable way.
