Pull EFI fixes from Matt Fleming:

 * Prevent accidental deletion of EFI variables through efivarfs that
   may brick machines. We use a whitelist of known-safe variables to
   allow things like installing distributions to work out of the box, and
   instead restrict vendor-specific variable deletion by making
   non-whitelist variables immutable (Peter Jones)

<title>vsprintf: kptr_restrict is okay in IRQ when 2</title>

The kptr_restrict flag, when set to 1, only prints the kernel address
when the user has CAP_SYSLOG.  When it is set to 2, the kernel address
is always printed as zero.  When set to 1, this needs to check whether
or not we're in IRQ.

However, when set to 2, this check is unneccessary, and produces
confusing results in dmesg.  Thus, only make sure we're not in IRQ when
mode 1 is used, but not mode 2.

When enabling UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL, the kernel image size gets increased
significantly (~3x).  So, it sounds better to have some note in Kconfig.

And, fixed a typo.

Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued
without explicit target CPU.  The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways.  To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.

The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel
parameter.  The default can be flipped with a debug config option.

If you hit this commit during bisection, please refer to 041bd12e272c

The starting node for a klist iteration is often passed in from
somewhere way above the klist infrastructure, meaning there's no
guarantee the node is still on the list.  We've seen this in SCSI where
we use bus_find_device() to iterate through a list of devices.  In the
face of heavy hotplug activity, the last device returned by
bus_find_device() can be removed before the next call.  This leads to

[...]

And an eventual crash. It can actually occur in any hotplug system
which has a device finder and a starting device.

We can fix this globally by making sure the starting node for
klist_iter_init_node() is actually a member of the list before using it
(and by starting from the beginning if it isn't).

And an eventual crash. It can actually occur in any hotplug system
which has a device finder and a starting device.

We can fix this globally by making sure the starting node for
klist_iter_init_node() is actually a member of the list before using it
(and by starting from the beginning if it isn't).
