commit 0f2122045b946241a9e549c2a76cea54fa58a7ff upstream.

Grab actual references to the files_struct. To avoid circular references
issues due to this, we add a per-task note that keeps track of what
io_uring contexts a task has used. When the tasks execs or exits its
assigned files, we cancel requests based on this tracking.

With that, we can grab proper references to the files table, and no
longer need to rely on stashing away ring_fd and ring_file to check
if the ring_fd may have been closed.

[ Upstream commit 7f6e4312e15a5c370e84eaa685879b6bdcc717e4 ]

Protect against potential stack overflow that might happen when bpf2bpf
calls get combined with tailcalls. Limit the caller's stack depth for
such case down to 256 so that the worst case scenario would result in 8k
stack size (32 which is tailcall limit * 256 = 8k).

[ Upstream commit 428805c0c5e76ef643b1fbc893edfb636b3d8aef ]

get_gendisk grabs a reference on the disk and file operation, so this
code will leak both of them while having absolutely no use for the
gendisk itself.

This effectively reverts commit 2df83fa4bce421f ("PM / Hibernate: Use
get_gendisk to verify partition if resume_file is integer format")

This is because pcpu_freelist_head.lock is accessed in both NMI and
non-NMI context. Fix this issue by using raw_spin_trylock() in NMI.

Since NMI interrupts non-NMI context, when NMI context tries to lock the
raw_spinlock, non-NMI context of the same CPU may already have locked a
lock and is blocked from unlocking the lock. For a system with N CPUs,
there could be N NMIs at the same time, and they may block N non-NMI
raw_spinlocks. This is tricky for pcpu_freelist_push(), where unlike
_pop(), failing _push() means leaking memory. This issue is more likely to
trigger in non-SMP system.

Fix this issue with an extra list, pcpu_freelist.extralist. The extralist
is primarily used to take _push() when raw_spin_trylock() failed on all
the per CPU lists. It should be empty most of the time. The following
table summarizes the behavior of pcpu_freelist in NMI and non-NMI:

non-NMI pop(): 	use _lock(); check per CPU lists first;
                if all per CPU lists are empty, check extralist;
                if extralist is empty, return NULL.

non-NMI push(): use _lock(); only push to per CPU lists.

NMI pop():    use _trylock(); check per CPU lists first;
              if all per CPU lists are locked or empty, check extralist;
              if extralist is locked or empty, return NULL.

NMI push():   use _trylock(); check per CPU lists first;
              if all per CPU lists are locked; try push to extralist;
              if extralist is also locked, keep trying on per CPU lists.

[ Upstream commit fdf09ab887829cd1b671e45d9549f8ec1ffda0fa ]

Corentin hit the following workqueue warning when running with
CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS:

  WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 147 at kernel/workqueue.c:1473 __queue_work+0x3b8/0x3d0

I wasn't able to reproduce on x86 or rpi 3b+.

This is

  WARN_ON(!list_empty(&amp;work-&gt;entry))

from __queue_work(), and it happens because the init_free_wq work item
isn't initialized in time for a crypto test that requests the gcm
module.  Some crypto tests were recently moved earlier in boot as
explained in commit c4741b230597 ("crypto: run initcalls for generic
implementations earlier"), which went into mainline less than two weeks
before the Fixes commit.

Avoid the warning by statically initializing init_free_wq and the
corresponding llist.

[ Upstream commit d081a6e353168f15e63eb9e9334757f20343319f ]

Currently using forward search doesn't handle multi-line strings correctly.
The search routine replaces line breaks with \0 during the search and, for
regular searches ("help | grep Common\n"), there is code after the line
has been discarded or printed to replace the break character.

However during a pager search ("help\n" followed by "/Common\n") when the
string is matched we will immediately return to normal output and the code
that should restore the \n becomes unreachable. Fix this by restoring the
replaced character when we disable the search mode and update the comment
accordingly.

[ Upstream commit c8fa63714763b7795a3f5fb7ed6d000763e6dccc ]

The conversion of rcu_fwds to dynamic allocation failed to actually
allocate the required structure.  This commit therefore allocates it,
frees it, and updates rcu_fwds accordingly.  While in the area, it
abstracts the cleanup actions into rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cleanup().

<title>rcu/tree: Force quiescent state on callback overload</title>

[ Upstream commit 9c39245382de4d52a122641952900709d4a9950b ]

On callback overload, it is necessary to quickly detect idle CPUs,
and rcu_gp_fqs_check_wake() checks for this condition.  Unfortunately,
the code following the call to this function does not repeat this check,
which means that in reality no actual quiescent-state forcing, instead
only a couple of quick and pointless wakeups at the beginning of the
grace period.

This commit therefore adds a check for the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD flag in
the post-wakeup "if" statement in rcu_gp_fqs_loop().

<title>tracing: Handle synthetic event array field type checking correctly</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 10819e25799aae564005b6049a45e9808797b3bb ]

Since synthetic event array types are derived from the field name,
there may be a semicolon at the end of the type which should be
stripped off.

If there are more characters following that, normal type string
checking will result in an invalid type.

Without this patch, you can end up with an invalid field type string
that gets displayed in both the synthetic event description and the
event format:

Before:

  # echo 'myevent char str[16]; int v' &gt;&gt; synthetic_events
  # cat synthetic_events
    myevent	char[16]; str; int v

  name: myevent
  ID: 1936

  	field:char str[16];;	offset:8;	size:16;	signed:1;
  	field:int v;	offset:40;	size:4;	signed:1;
