Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Kuan-Wei Chiu has developed the well-named series "lib min_heap: Min
   heap optimizations".

 - Kuan-Wei Chiu has also sped up the library sorting code in the series
   "lib/sort: Optimize the number of swaps and comparisons".

 - Alexey Gladkov has added the ability for code running within an IPC
   namespace to alter its IPC and MQ limits. The series is "Allow to
   change ipc/mq sysctls inside ipc namespace".

 - Geert Uytterhoeven has contributed some dhrystone maintenance work in
   the series "lib: dhry: miscellaneous cleanups".

 - Ryusuke Konishi continues nilfs2 maintenance work in the series

	"nilfs2: eliminate kmap and kmap_atomic calls"
	"nilfs2: fix kernel bug at submit_bh_wbc()"

 - Nathan Chancellor has updated our build tools requirements in the
   series "Bump the minimum supported version of LLVM to 13.0.1".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum continues with the selftests maintenance work in
   the series "selftests/mm: Improve run_vmtests.sh".

 - Oleg Nesterov has done some maintenance work against the signal code
   in the series "get_signal: minor cleanups and fix".

panic: add option to dump blocked tasks in panic_print 2024-02-22T23:38:55+00:00 Feng Tang feng.tang@intel.com 2024-02-02T13:20:42+00:00 2e3fc6ca521499a985a1829a21759ac25359c0f3 For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks.

Commit:

  5a5d7e9badd2 ("cpuidle: lib/bug: Disable rcu_is_watching() during WARN/BUG")

amended warn_slowpath_fmt() to disable preemption until the WARN splat
has been emitted.

However the commit neglected to reenable preemption in the !fmt codepath,
i.e. when a WARN splat is emitted without additional format string.

One consequence is that users may see more splats than intended.  E.g. a
WARN splat emitted in a work item results in at least two extra splats:

  BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic
  (emitted by process_one_work())

  BUG: scheduling while atomic
  (emitted by worker_thread() -> schedule())

Ironically the point of the commit was to *avoid* extra splats. ;)

Fix it.
