commit 54da6a0924311c7cf5015533991e44fb8eb12773 upstream.

Use __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) to build:

 - simple auto-release pointers using __free()

 - 'classes' with constructor and destructor semantics for
   scope-based resource management.

 - lock guards based on the above classes.

<title>kernel/fork: beware of __put_task_struct() calling context</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3b1107abdc2cabdf2044683fc2fa9743a7da5ccc</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d243b34459cea30cfe5f3a9b2feb44e7daff9938 ]

Under PREEMPT_RT, __put_task_struct() indirectly acquires sleeping
locks. Therefore, it can't be called from an non-preemptible context.

One practical example is splat inside inactive_task_timer(), which is
called in a interrupt context:

  CPU: 1 PID: 2848 Comm: life Kdump: loaded Tainted: G W ---------
   Hardware name: HP ProLiant DL388p Gen8, BIOS P70 07/15/2012
   Call Trace:
   dump_stack_lvl+0x57/0x7d
   mark_lock_irq.cold+0x33/0xba
   mark_lock+0x1e7/0x400
   mark_usage+0x11d/0x140

   asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x12/0x20
   RIP: 0033:0x7fff196bf6f5

Instead of calling __put_task_struct() directly, we defer it using
call_rcu(). A more natural approach would use a workqueue, but since
in PREEMPT_RT, we can't allocate dynamic memory from atomic context,
the code would become more complex because we would need to put the
work_struct instance in the task_struct and initialize it when we
allocate a new task_struct.

The issue is reproducible with stress-ng:

  while true; do
      stress-ng --sched deadline --sched-period 1000000000 \
	      --sched-runtime 800000000 --sched-deadline \
	      1000000000 --mmapfork 23 -t 20
  done

commit af80602799681c78f14fbe20b6185a56020dedee upstream.

In order to allow using mm_alloc() much earlier, move initializing
mm_cachep into mm_init().

<content type='text'>
commit 3f4c8211d982099be693be9aa7d6fc4607dff290 upstream.

Instead of duplicating init_mm, allocate a fresh mm. The advantage is
that mm_alloc() has much simpler dependencies. Additionally it makes
more conceptual sense, init_mm has no (and must not have) user state
to duplicate.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

Pull ptrace update from Eric Biederman:
 "ptrace: Stop supporting SIGKILL for PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT

  Recently I had a conversation where it was pointed out to me that
  SIGKILL sent to a tracee stropped in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT is quite
  difficult for a tracer to handle.

  Keeping SIGKILL working after the process has been killed is pain from
  an implementation point of view.

  So since the debuggers don't want this behavior let's see if we can
  remove this wart for the userspace API

  If a regression is detected it should only need to be the last change
  that is the reverted. The other two are just general cleanups that
  make the last patch simpler"
