[ Upstream commit 8b64d420fe2450f82848178506d3e3a0bd195539 ]

syzbot is reporting false a positive ODEBUG message immediately after
ODEBUG was disabled due to OOM.

[ Upstream commit ba3c5574203034781ac4231acf117da917efcd2a ]

When the mpi_ec_ctx structure is initialized, some fields are not
cleared, causing a crash when referencing the field when the
structure was released. Initially, this issue was ignored because
memory for mpi_ec_ctx is allocated with the __GFP_ZERO flag.
For example, this error will be triggered when calculating the
Za value for SM2 separately.

<title>debugobjects: Stop accessing objects after releasing hash bucket lock</title>

[ Upstream commit 9bb6362652f3f4d74a87d572a91ee1b38e673ef6 ]

After release of the hashbucket lock the tracking object can be modified or
freed by a concurrent thread.  Using it in such a case is error prone, even
for printing the object state:

    1. T1 tries to deactivate destroyed object, debugobjects detects it,
       hash bucket lock is released.

    2. T2 preempts T1 and frees the tracking object.

    3. The freed tracking object is allocated and initialized for a
       different to be tracked kernel object.

    4. T1 resumes and reports error for wrong kernel object.

Create a local copy of the tracking object before releasing the hash bucket
lock and use the local copy for reporting and fixups to prevent this.

[ Upstream commit af73483f4e8b6f5c68c9aa63257bdd929a9c194a ]

The IDA usually detects double-frees, but that detection failed to
consider the case when there are no nearby IDs allocated and so we have a
NULL bitmap rather than simply having a clear bit.  Add some tests to the
test-suite to be sure we don't inadvertently reintroduce this problem.
Unfortunately they're quite noisy so include a message to disregard
the warnings.

<title>lib/vsprintf: Fix %pfwf when current node refcount == 0</title>

commit 5c47251e8c4903111608ddcba2a77c0c425c247c upstream.

A refcount issue can appeared in __fwnode_link_del() due to the
pr_debug() call:
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 901 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xe5/0x110
  Call Trace:
  &lt;TASK&gt;
  ...
  of_node_get+0x1e/0x30

  ...
  __fwnode_link_del+0x25/0xa0
  fwnode_links_purge+0x39/0xb0
  of_node_release+0xd9/0x180
  ...

Indeed, an fwnode (of_node) is being destroyed and so, of_node_release()
is called because the of_node refcount reached 0.
From of_node_release() several function calls are done and lead to
a pr_debug() calls with %pfwf to print the fwnode full name.
The issue is not present if we change %pfwf to %pfwP.

To print the full name, %pfwf iterates over the current node and its
parents and obtain/drop a reference to all nodes involved.

In order to allow to print the full name (%pfwf) of a node while it is
being destroyed, do not obtain/drop a reference to this current node.

commit e5f3e299a2b1e9c3ece24a38adfc089aef307e8a upstream.

Those return codes are only defined for the parisc architecture and
are leftovers from when we wanted to be HP-UX compatible.

They are not returned by any Linux kernel syscall but do trigger
problems with the glibc strerrorname_np() and strerror() functions as
reported in glibc issue #31080.

There is no need to keep them, so simply remove them.

They are not returned by any Linux kernel syscall but do trigger
problems with the glibc strerrorname_np() and strerror() functions as
reported in glibc issue #31080.

There is no need to keep them, so simply remove them.

commit cc6003916ed46d7a67d91ee32de0f9138047d55f upstream.

In workloads where this_cpu operations are frequently performed,
enabling DEBUG_PREEMPT may result in significant increase in
runtime overhead due to frequent invocation of
__this_cpu_preempt_check() function.

This can be demonstrated through benchmarks such as hackbench where this
configuration results in a 10% reduction in performance, primarily due to
the added overhead within memcg charging path.

Therefore, do not to enable DEBUG_PREEMPT by default and make users aware
of its potential impact on performance in some workloads.

<title>lib/test_meminit: fix off-by-one error in test_pages()</title>

commit efb78fa86e95 ("lib/test_meminit: allocate pages up to order
MAX_ORDER") works great in kernels 6.4 and newer thanks to commit
23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely"), but for older
kernels, the loop is off by one, which causes crashes when the test
runs.

Fix this up by changing "&lt;= MAX_ORDER" "&lt; MAX_ORDER" to allow the test
to work properly for older kernel branches.

<title>kobject: Add sanity check for kset-&gt;kobj.ktype in kset_register()</title>

[ Upstream commit 4d0fe8c52bb3029d83e323c961221156ab98680b ]

When I register a kset in the following way:
	static struct kset my_kset;
	kobject_set_name(&amp;my_kset.kobj, "my_kset");
        ret = kset_register(&amp;my_kset);

A null pointer dereference exception is occurred:
[ 4453.568337] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at \
virtual address 0000000000000028
... ...
[ 4453.810361] Call trace:
[ 4453.813062]  kobject_get_ownership+0xc/0x34
[ 4453.817493]  kobject_add_internal+0x98/0x274
[ 4453.822005]  kset_register+0x5c/0xb4
[ 4453.825820]  my_kobj_init+0x44/0x1000 [my_kset]
... ...

Because I didn't initialize my_kset.kobj.ktype.

According to the description in Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst:
 - A ktype is the type of object that embeds a kobject.  Every structure
   that embeds a kobject needs a corresponding ktype.

So add sanity check to make sure kset-&gt;kobj.ktype is not NULL.
