Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).
The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
modification of any and all kernel params. While this generally works,
there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg(). If the module to be
loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.
This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
not blocked by changes to other module params. All built-in modules
continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
will never cause load-time param changing.
This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
the global param mutex. They are replaced with direct calls to
kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

There's no need to require an ifdef over the declaration
of sig_enforce as IS_ENABLED() can be used. While at it,
there's no harm in exposing this kernel parameter outside of
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG as it'd be a no-op on non module sig
kernels.
Now, technically we should in theory be able to remove
the #ifdef'ery over the declaration of the module parameter
as we are also trusting the bool_enable_only code for
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG kernels but for now remain paranoid
and keep it.
With time if no one can put a bullet through bool_enable_only
and if there are no technical requirements over not exposing
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE with the measures in place by
bool_enable_only we could remove this last ifdef.

__module_address() does an initial bound check before doing the
{list/tree} iteration to find the actual module. The bound variables
are nowhere near the mod_tree cacheline, in fact they're nowhere near
one another.
module_addr_min lives in .data while module_addr_max lives in .bss
(smarty pants GCC thinks the explicit 0 assignment is a mistake).
Rectify this by moving the two variables into a structure together
with the latch_tree_root to guarantee they all share the same
cacheline and avoid hitting two extra cachelines for the lookup.
While reworking the bounds code, move the bound update from allocation
to insertion time, this avoids updating the bounds for a few error
paths.

Currently __module_address() is using a linear search through all
modules in order to find the module corresponding to the provided
address. With a lot of modules this can take a lot of time.
One of the users of this is kernel_text_address() which is employed
in many stack unwinders; which in turn are used by perf-callchain and
ftrace (possibly from NMI context).
So by optimizing __module_address() we optimize many stack unwinders
which are used by both perf and tracing in performance sensitive code.

Currently the RCU usage in module is an inconsistent mess of RCU and
RCU-sched, this is broken for CONFIG_PREEMPT where synchronize_rcu()
does not imply synchronize_sched().
Most usage sites use preempt_{dis,en}able() which is RCU-sched, but
(most of) the modification sites use synchronize_rcu(). With the
exception of the module bug list, which actually uses RCU.
Convert everything over to RCU-sched.
Furthermore add lockdep asserts to all sites, because it's not at all

Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non
conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable
but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but
the resulting code did not behave as expected.
Commit 195daf665a ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the
watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled,
which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by
b3738d2932 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions").
There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between
setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the
{en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex.

It was noted that the 32bit implementation of ktime_divns()
was doing unsigned division and didn't properly handle
negative values.
And when a ktime helper was changed to utilize
ktime_divns, it caused a regression on some IR blasters.
See the following bugzilla for details:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200353
This patch fixes the problem in ktime_divns by checking
and preserving the sign bit, and then reapplying it if
appropriate after the division, it also changes the return
type to a s64 to make it more obvious this is expected.
Nicolas also pointed out that negative dividers would
cause infinite loops on 32bit systems, negative dividers
is unlikely for users of this function, but out of caution
this patch adds checks for negative dividers for both
32-bit (BUG_ON) and 64-bit(WARN_ON) versions to make sure
no such use cases creep in.

Commit 3c18d447b3 ("sched/core: Check for available DL bandwidth in
cpuset_cpu_inactive()"), a SCHED_DEADLINE bugfix, had a logic error that
caused a regression in setting a CPU inactive during suspend. I ran into
this when a program was failing pthread_setaffinity_np() with EINVAL after
a suspend+wake up.
A simple reproducer:
$ ./a.out
sched_setaffinity: Success
$ systemctl suspend
$ ./a.out
sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument
... where ./a.out is:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <errno.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
long num_cores;
cpu_set_t cpu_set;
int ret;
num_cores = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);
CPU_ZERO(&cpu_set);
CPU_SET(num_cores - 1, &cpu_set);
errno = 0;
ret = sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(cpu_set), &cpu_set);
perror("sched_setaffinity");
return ret ? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
The mistake is that suspend is handled in the action ==
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN case of the switch statement in
cpuset_cpu_inactive().
However, the commit in question masked out CPU_TASKS_FROZEN
from the action, making this case dead.
The fix is straightforward.

interrupts are still disabled when tick_broadcast_exit() is
called. Also ensure that interrupts will be disabled before
running tick_broadcast_exit() even if they have been enabled by

This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca
and 80f7fdb1c7.
The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support
the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it
with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed
due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare
that it's mostly theoretical.
As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the
additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task
migration notifier.
Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at
all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.

Introduce KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP to allow the architecture code
to override the gfp flags of the allocation for the kexec control
page. The loop in kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages allocates pages
with GFP_KERNEL until a page is found that happens to have an
address smaller than the KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. On systems
with a large memory size but a small KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT
the loop will keep allocating memory until the oom killer steps in.

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
"Seven audit patches for v4.1, all bug fixes.
The largest, and perhaps most significant commit helps resolve some
memory pressure issues related to the inode cache and audit, there are
also a few small commits which help resolve some timing issues with
the audit log queue, and the rest fall into the always popular "code
clean-up" category.
In general, nothing really substantial, just a nice set of maintenance
patches"
* 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
audit: Remove condition which always evaluates to false
audit: reduce mmap_sem hold for mm->exe_file
audit: consolidate handling of mm->exe_file
audit: code clean up
audit: don't reset working wait time accidentally with auditd
audit: don't lose set wait time on first successful call to audit_log_start()
audit: move the tree pruning to a dedicated thread
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This adds three fixes for the tracing code.
The first is a bug when ftrace_dump_on_oops is triggered in atomic
context and function graph tracer is the tracer that is being
reported.
The second fix is bad parsing of the trace_events from the kernel
command line, where it would ignore specific events if the system name
is used with defining the event(it enables all events within the
system).
The last one is a fix to the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), where a check was
missing to see if the ptr was incremented to the end of the string,
but the loop increments it again and can miss the nul delimiter to
stop processing"
* tag 'trace-v4.1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Fix possible out of bounds memory access when parsing enums
