Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A fix for a long standing issue in the alarmtimer code.

  Posix-timers armed with a short interval with an ignored signal result
  in an unpriviledged DoS. Due to the ignored signal the timer switches
  into self rearm mode. This issue had been "fixed" before but a rework
  of the alarmtimer code 5 years ago lost that workaround.

  There is no real good solution for this issue, which is also worked
  around in the core posix-timer code in the same way, but it certainly
  moved way up on the ever growing todo list"

If a non-root cgroup gets removed when there is a thread that registered
trigger and is polling on a pressure file within the cgroup, the polling
waitqueue gets freed in the following path:

 do_rmdir
   cgroup_rmdir
     kernfs_drain_open_files
       cgroup_file_release
         cgroup_pressure_release
           psi_trigger_destroy

However, the polling thread still has a reference to the pressure file and
will access the freed waitqueue when the file is closed or upon exit:

 fput
   ep_eventpoll_release
     ep_free
       ep_remove_wait_queue
         remove_wait_queue

This results in use-after-free as pasted below.

The fundamental problem here is that cgroup_file_release() (and
consequently waitqueue's lifetime) is not tied to the file's real lifetime.
Using wake_up_pollfree() here might be less than ideal, but it is in line
with the comment at commit 42288cb44c4b ("wait: add wake_up_pollfree()")
since the waitqueue's lifetime is not tied to file's one and can be
considered as another special case. While this would be fixable by somehow
making cgroup_file_release() be tied to the fput(), it would require
sizable refactoring at cgroups or higher layer which might be more
justifiable if we identify more cases like this.

<title>alarmtimer: Prevent starvation by small intervals and SIG_IGN</title>

syzbot reported a RCU stall which is caused by setting up an alarmtimer
with a very small interval and ignoring the signal. The reproducer arms the
alarm timer with a relative expiry of 8ns and an interval of 9ns. Not a
problem per se, but that's an issue when the signal is ignored because then
the timer is immediately rearmed because there is no way to delay that
rearming to the signal delivery path.  See posix_timer_fn() and commit
58229a189942 ("posix-timers: Prevent softirq starvation by small intervals
and SIG_IGN") for details.

The reproducer does not set SIG_IGN explicitely, but it sets up the timers
signal with SIGCONT. That has the same effect as explicitely setting
SIG_IGN for a signal as SIGCONT is ignored if there is no handler set and
the task is not ptraced.

The log clearly shows that:

   [pid  5102] --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_TIMER, si_timerid=0, si_overrun=316014, si_int=0, si_ptr=NULL} ---

It works because the tasks are traced and therefore the signal is queued so
the tracer can see it, which delays the restart of the timer to the signal
delivery path. But then the tracer is killed:

   [pid  5087] kill(-5102, SIGKILL &lt;unfinished ...&gt;
   ...
   ./strace-static-x86_64: Process 5107 detached

and after it's gone the stall can be observed:

   syzkaller login: [   79.439102][    C0] hrtimer: interrupt took 68471 ns
   [  184.460538][    C1] rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
   ...
   [  184.658237][    C1] rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran:

   [  184.670045][    C0]  alarmtimer_fired+0x327/0x670

posix_timer_fn() prevents that by checking whether the interval for
timers which have the signal ignored is smaller than a jiffie and
artifically delay it by shifting the next expiry out by a jiffie. That's
accurate vs. the overrun accounting, but slightly inaccurate
vs. timer_gettimer(2).

The comment in that function says what needs to be done and there was a fix
available for the regular userspace induced SIG_IGN mechanism, but that did
not work due to the implicit ignore for SIGCONT and similar signals. This
needs to be worked on, but for now the only available workaround is to do
exactly what posix_timer_fn() does:

Increase the interval of self-rearming timers, which have their signal
ignored, to at least a jiffie.

Interestingly this has been fixed before via commit ff86bf0c65f1
("alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals") already, but that fix got
lost in a later rework.

posix_timer_fn() prevents that by checking whether the interval for
timers which have the signal ignored is smaller than a jiffie and
artifically delay it by shifting the next expiry out by a jiffie. That's
accurate vs. the overrun accounting, but slightly inaccurate
vs. timer_gettimer(2).

The comment in that function says what needs to be done and there was a fix
available for the regular userspace induced SIG_IGN mechanism, but that did
not work due to the implicit ignore for SIGCONT and similar signals. This
needs to be worked on, but for now the only available workaround is to do
exactly what posix_timer_fn() does:

Increase the interval of self-rearming timers, which have their signal
ignored, to at least a jiffie.

Interestingly this has been fixed before via commit ff86bf0c65f1
("alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals") already, but that fix got
lost in a later rework.

<title>sched/core: Fix a missed update of user_cpus_ptr</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 8f9ea86fdf99 ("sched: Always preserve the user requested
cpumask"), a successful call to sched_setaffinity() should always save
the user requested cpu affinity mask in a task's user_cpus_ptr. However,
when the given cpu mask is the same as the current one, user_cpus_ptr
is not updated. Fix this by saving the user mask in this case too.

Tetsuo-San noted that commit f5d39b020809 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite
core freezer logic") broke call_usermodehelper_exec() for the KILLABLE
case.

Specifically it was missed that the second, unconditional,
wait_for_completion() was not optional and ensures the on-stack
completion is unused before going out-of-scope.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix showing of TASK_COMM_LEN instead of its value

  The TASK_COMM_LEN was converted from a macro into an enum so that BTF
  would have access to it. But this unfortunately caused TASK_COMM_LEN
  to display in the format fields of trace events, as they are created
  by the TRACE_EVENT() macro and such, macros convert to their values,
  where as enums do not.

  To handle this, instead of using the field itself to be display, save
  the value of the array size as another field in the trace_event_fields
  structure, and use that instead.

  Not only does this fix the issue, but also converts the other trace
  events that have this same problem (but were not breaking tooling).

  With this change, the original work around b3bc8547d3be6 ("tracing:
  Have TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM affect trace event types as well") could be
  reverted (but that should be done in the merge window)"

<content type='text'>
After commit 3087c61ed2c4 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"),
the content of the format file under
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from
  field:char comm[16];    offset:12;    size:16;    signed:0;
to
  field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];    offset:12;    size:16;    signed:0;

John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto.
Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the
use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum
labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it:
  :One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend
  :struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length
  :of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified
  :form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.

The result as follows after this change,
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
        field:char comm[16];    offset:12;      size:16;        signed:0;
