Running rcutorture scenario TREE05, the below warning is triggered.

In perf_event_clear_cpumask(), uses list_for_each_entry_rcu() without an
obvious RCU read-side critical section.

Either pmus_srcu or pmus_lock is good enough to protect the pmus list.
In the current context, pmus_lock is already held. The
list_for_each_entry_rcu() is not required.

Sean noted that ever since commit 152e11f6df29 ("sched/fair: Implement
delayed dequeue") KVM's preemption notifiers have started
mis-classifying preemption vs blocking.

Notably p-&gt;on_rq is no longer sufficient to determine if a task is
runnable or blocked -- the aforementioned commit introduces tasks that
remain on the runqueue even through they will not run again, and
should be considered blocked for many cases.

Add the task_is_runnable() helper to classify things and audit all
external users of the p-&gt;on_rq state. Also add a few comments.

xol_add_vma() maps the uninitialized page allocated by __create_xol_area()
into userspace. On some architectures (x86) this memory is readable even
without VM_READ, VM_EXEC results in the same pgprot_t as VM_EXEC|VM_READ,
although this doesn't really matter, debugger can read this memory anyway.

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

The below warning is triggered when building with arm
multi_v7_defconfig.

  kernel/events/core.c: In function 'perf_event_setup_cpumask':
  kernel/events/core.c:14012:13: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as 'true' for the address of 'thread_sibling' will never be NULL [-Waddress]
  14012 |         if (!topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu)) {

The perf_event_init_cpu() may be invoked at the early boot stage, while
the topology_*_cpumask hasn't been initialized yet.  The check is to
specially handle the case, and initialize the perf_online_&lt;domain&gt;_masks
on the boot CPU.

X86 uses a per-cpu cpumask pointer, which could be NULL at the early
boot stage.  However, ARM uses a global variable, which never be NULL.

Use perf_online_mask as an indicator instead.  Only initialize the
perf_online_&lt;domain&gt;_masks when perf_online_mask is empty.

Fix a typo as well.

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Introduce '__attribute__((bpf_fastcall))' for helpers and kfuncs with
   corresponding support in LLVM.

   It is similar to existing 'no_caller_saved_registers' attribute in
   GCC/LLVM with a provision for backward compatibility. It allows
   compilers generate more efficient BPF code assuming the verifier or
   JITs will inline or partially inline a helper/kfunc with such
   attribute. bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx, bpf_rdonly_cast,
   bpf_get_smp_processor_id are the first set of such helpers.

 - Harden and extend ELF build ID parsing logic.

   When called from sleepable context the relevants parts of ELF file
   will be read to find and fetch .note.gnu.build-id information. Also
   harden the logic to avoid TOCTOU, overflow, out-of-bounds problems.

 - Improvements and fixes for sched-ext:
    - Allow passing BPF iterators as kfunc arguments
    - Make the pointer returned from iter_next method trusted
    - Fix x86 JIT convergence issue due to growing/shrinking conditional
      jumps in variable length encoding

 - BPF_LSM related:
    - Introduce few VFS kfuncs and consolidate them in
      fs/bpf_fs_kfuncs.c
    - Enforce correct range of return values from certain LSM hooks
    - Disallow attaching to other LSM hooks

 - Prerequisite work for upcoming Qdisc in BPF:
    - Allow kptrs in program provided structs
    - Support for gen_epilogue in verifier_ops

 - Important fixes:
    - Fix uprobe multi pid filter check
    - Fix bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers
    - Track equal scalars history on per-instruction level
    - Fix tailcall hierarchy on x86 and arm64
    - Fix signed division overflow to prevent INT_MIN/-1 trap on x86
    - Fix get kernel stack in BPF progs attached to tracepoint:syscall

 - Selftests:
    - Add uprobe bench/stress tool
    - Generate file dependencies to drastically improve re-build time
    - Match JIT-ed and BPF asm with __xlated/__jited keywords
    - Convert older tests to test_progs framework
    - Add support for RISC-V
    - Few fixes when BPF programs are compiled with GCC-BPF backend
      (support for GCC-BPF in BPF CI is ongoing in parallel)
    - Add traffic monitor
    - Enable cross compile and musl libc

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
     performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

   - "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
     khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

   - "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()
     performance regression due to the addition of mseal().

   - "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
     Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

   - "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
     page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
     accessors/mutators can be removed.

   - "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
     Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
     zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

   - "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
     window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
     an unrelated vma tree walk.

   - "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and
     better tested.

   - "misc fixups for DAMON {self,kunit} tests" from SeongJae Park.
     Minor fixups of DAMON selftests and kunit tests.

Pull perf events updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Implement per-PMU context rescheduling to significantly improve
   single-PMU performance, and related cleanups/fixes (Peter Zijlstra
   and Namhyung Kim)

 - Fix ancient bug resulting in a lot of events being dropped
   erroneously at higher sampling frequencies (Luo Gengkun)

 - uprobes enhancements:

     - Implement RCU-protected hot path optimizations for better
       performance:

         "For baseline vs SRCU, peak througput increased from 3.7 M/s
          (million uprobe triggerings per second) up to about 8 M/s. For
          uretprobes it's a bit more modest with bump from 2.4 M/s to
          5 M/s.

          For SRCU vs RCU Tasks Trace, peak throughput for uprobes
          increases further from 8 M/s to 10.3 M/s (+28%!), and for
          uretprobes from 5.3 M/s to 5.8 M/s (+11%), as we have more
          work to do on uretprobes side.

          Even single-thread (no contention) performance is slightly
          better: 3.276 M/s to 3.396 M/s (+3.5%) for uprobes, and 2.055
          M/s to 2.174 M/s (+5.8%) for uretprobes."

          (Andrii Nakryiko et al)

     - Document mmap_lock, don't abuse get_user_pages_remote() (Oleg
       Nesterov)

     - Cleanups &amp; fixes to prepare for future work:
        - Remove uprobe_register_refctr()
	- Simplify error handling for alloc_uprobe()
        - Make uprobe_register() return struct uprobe *
        - Fold __uprobe_unregister() into uprobe_unregister()
        - Shift put_uprobe() from delete_uprobe() to uprobe_unregister()
        - BPF: Fix use-after-free in bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach()
          (Oleg Nesterov)

 - New feature &amp; ABI extension: allow events to use PERF_SAMPLE READ
   with inheritance, enabling sample based profiling of a group of
   counters over a hierarchy of processes or threads (Ben Gainey)

 - Intel uncore &amp; power events updates:

      - Add Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake support
      - Add PERF_EV_CAP_READ_SCOPE
      - Clean up and enhance cpumask and hotplug support
        (Kan Liang)

      - Add LNL uncore iMC freerunning support
      - Use D0:F0 as a default device
        (Zhenyu Wang)

 - Intel PT: fix AUX snapshot handling race (Adrian Hunter)

 - Misc fixes and cleanups (James Clark, Jiri Olsa, Oleg Nesterov and
   Peter Zijlstra)

Now that xol_mapping has its own -&gt;fault() method we no longer need
xol_area-&gt;pages[1] == NULL, we need a single page.
