syzbot reported that the warning in perf_sigtrap() fires, saying that
the event's task does not match current:

On x86 this shouldn't happen, which has arch_irq_work_raise().

The test program sets up a perf event with sigtrap set to fire on the
'sched_wakeup' tracepoint, which fired in ttwu_do_wakeup().

This happened because the 'sched_wakeup' tracepoint also takes a task
argument passed on to perf_tp_event(), which is used to deliver the
event to that other task.

Since we cannot deliver synchronous signals to other tasks, skip an event if
perf_tp_event() is targeted at another task and perf_event_attr::sigtrap is
set, which will avoid ever entering perf_sigtrap() for such events.

PEBS PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR events use perf_virt_to_phys() to convert PMU
sampled virtual addresses to physical using get_user_page_fast_only()
and page_to_phys().

Some get_user_page_fast_only() error cases return false, indicating no
page reference, but still initialize the output page pointer with an
unreferenced page. In these error cases perf_virt_to_phys() calls
put_page(). This causes page reference count underflow, which can lead
to unintentional page sharing.

Fix perf_virt_to_phys() to only put_page() if get_user_page_fast_only()
returns a referenced page.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a
   stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback.

 - Fix to bootconfig parsing

 - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only
   denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs
   in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest.

 - Bootconfig memory managament updates.

 - Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on
   changes in the kernel tree.

 - Allow perf to be traced by function tracer.

 - Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function
   tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen
   on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it).

 - Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched
   together in one synchronization.

 - Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
   calculations against the event's fields.

 - Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace
   trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent
   warnings from the compiler.

 - Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables.

 - Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over
   if branches.

 - Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway.

 - Added testing for verification of tracing utilities.

 - Various small clean ups and fixes.

Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
  head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
  support filesystems converting from pages to folios.

  The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
  to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
  was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
  some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
  precise page containing a particular byte.

  The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
  head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
  to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().

  This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
  we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
  filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
  cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.

  The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
  80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
  startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
  the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
  between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
  of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
  imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
  interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
  create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
  larger than PAGE_SIZE.

  I'd like to thank all my reviewers who've offered review/ack tags:
  Christoph Hellwig, David Howells, Jan Kara, Jeff Layton, Johannes
  Weiner, Kirill A. Shutemov, Michal Hocko, Mike Rapoport, Vlastimil
  Babka, William Kucharski, Yu Zhao and Zi Yan.

Now that there are three different instances of doing the addition trick
to the preempt_count() and NMI_MASK, HARDIRQ_MASK and SOFTIRQ_OFFSET
macros, it deserves a helper function defined in the preempt.h header.

Add the interrupt_context_level() helper and replace the three instances
that do that logic with it.

PEBS-via-PT records contain a mask of applicable counters. To identify
which event belongs to which counter, a side-band event is needed. Until
now, there has been no side-band event, and consequently users were limited
to using a single event.

Add such a side-band event. Note the event is optimised to output only
when the counter index changes for an event. That works only so long as
all PEBS-via-PT events are scheduled together, which they are for a
recording session because they are in a single group.

Also no attribute bit is used to select the new event, so a new
kernel is not compatible with older perf tools.  The assumption
being that PEBS-via-PT is sufficiently esoteric that users will not
be troubled by this.
