[ Upstream commit 69ca310f34168eae0ada434796bfc22fb4a0fa26 ]

On some systems, some variant of the following splat is
repeatedly seen.  The common factor in all traces seems
to be the entry point to task_file_seq_next().  With the
patch, all warnings go away.

[ Upstream commit 1b04fa9900263b4e217ca2509fd778b32c2b4eb2 ]

PowerPC testing encountered boot failures due to RCU Tasks not being
fully initialized until core_initcall() time.  This commit therefore
initializes RCU Tasks (along with Rude RCU and RCU Tasks Trace) just
before early_initcall() time, thus allowing waiting on RCU Tasks grace
periods from early_initcall() handlers.

commit 7bb83f6fc4ee84e95d0ac0d14452c2619fb3fe70 upstream.

Enable the notrace function check on the architecture which doesn't
support kprobes on ftrace but support dynamic ftrace. This notrace
function check is not only for the kprobes on ftrace but also
sw-breakpoint based kprobes.
Thus there is no reason to limit this check for the arch which
supports kprobes on ftrace.

This also changes the dependency of Kconfig. Because kprobe event
uses the function tracer's address list for identifying notrace
function, if the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n, it can not check whether
the target function is notrace or not.

[ Upstream commit 01341fbd0d8d4e717fc1231cdffe00343088ce0b ]

In realtime scenario, We do not want to have interference on the
isolated cpu cores. but when invoking alloc_workqueue() for percpu wq
on the housekeeping cpu, it kick a kworker on the isolated cpu.

  alloc_workqueue
    pwq_adjust_max_active
      wake_up_worker

The comment in pwq_adjust_max_active() said:
  "Need to kick a worker after thawed or an unbound wq's
   max_active is bumped"

So it is unnecessary to kick a kworker for percpu's wq when invoking
alloc_workqueue(). this patch only kick a worker based on the actual
activation of delayed works.

on the housekeeping cpu, it kick a kworker on the isolated cpu.

  alloc_workqueue
    pwq_adjust_max_active
      wake_up_worker

The comment in pwq_adjust_max_active() said:
  "Need to kick a worker after thawed or an unbound wq's
   max_active is bumped"

So it is unnecessary to kick a kworker for percpu's wq when invoking
alloc_workqueue(). this patch only kick a worker based on the actual
activation of delayed works.

<title>exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore</title>

[ Upstream commit f7cfd871ae0c5008d94b6f66834e7845caa93c15 ]

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users
of exec_update_mutex.  The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep
was:

   perf_event_open  (exec_update_mutex -&gt; ovl_i_mutex)
   chown            (ovl_i_mutex       -&gt; sb_writes)
   sendfile         (sb_writes         -&gt; p-&gt;lock)
     by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs
   proc_pid_syscall (p-&gt;lock           -&gt; exec_update_mutex)

While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the
users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given
process to remain the same.  They are all readers.  The only writer is
exec.

There is no reason for readers to block on each other.  So fix
this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore
named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

[ Upstream commit 31784cff7ee073b34d6eddabb95e3be2880a425c ]

In preparation for converting exec_update_mutex to a rwsem so that
multiple readers can execute in parallel and not deadlock, add
down_read_interruptible.  This is needed for perf_event_open to be
converted (with no semantic changes) from working on a mutex to
wroking on a rwsem.

[ Upstream commit 78af4dc949daaa37b3fcd5f348f373085b4e858f ]

Syzbot reported a lock inversion involving perf. The sore point being
perf holding exec_update_mutex() for a very long time, specifically
across a whole bunch of filesystem ops in pmu::event_init() (uprobes)
and anon_inode_getfile().

This then inverts against procfs code trying to take
exec_update_mutex.

Move the permission checks later, such that we need to hold the mutex
over less code.

<title>tick/sched: Remove bogus boot "safety" check</title>

[ Upstream commit ba8ea8e7dd6e1662e34e730eadfc52aa6816f9dd ]

can_stop_idle_tick() checks whether the do_timer() duty has been taken over
by a CPU on boot. That's silly because the boot CPU always takes over with
the initial clockevent device.

But even if no CPU would have installed a clockevent and taken over the
duty then the question whether the tick on the current CPU can be stopped
or not is moot. In that case the current CPU would have no clockevent
either, so there would be nothing to keep ticking.

Remove it.
