[ Upstream commit 153031a301bb07194e9c37466cfce8eacb977621 ]

There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to
`q-&gt;blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access.

However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of
`bt` pointer even when it's NULL:

Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID
1460458.

```
/kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store()
1898            ret = 0;
1899            if (bt == NULL)
1900                    ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev);
1901
1902            if (ret == 0) {
1903                    if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_act_mask)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     CID 1460458:  Null pointer dereferences  (FORWARD_NULL)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     Dereferencing null pointer "bt".
1904                            bt-&gt;act_mask = value;
1905                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_pid)
1906                            bt-&gt;pid = value;
1907                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_start_lba)
1908                            bt-&gt;start_lba = value;
1909                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_end_lba)
```

Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.

[ Upstream commit c780e86dd48ef6467a1146cf7d0fe1e05a635039 ]

KASAN is reporting that __blk_add_trace() has a use-after-free issue
when accessing q-&gt;blk_trace. Indeed the switching of block tracing (and
thus eventual freeing of q-&gt;blk_trace) is completely unsynchronized with
the currently running tracing and thus it can happen that the blk_trace
structure is being freed just while __blk_add_trace() works on it.
Protect accesses to q-&gt;blk_trace by RCU during tracing and make sure we
wait for the end of RCU grace period when shutting down tracing. Luckily
that is rare enough event that we can afford that. Note that postponing
the freeing of blk_trace to an RCU callback should better be avoided as
it could have unexpected user visible side-effects as debugfs files
would be still existing for a short while block tracing has been shut
down.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

There is a plan to build the kernel with -Wimplicit-fallthrough and
this place in the code produced a warning (W=1).

This commit remove the following warning:

<title>blkcg: remove bio-&gt;bi_css and instead use bio-&gt;bi_blkg</title>

Prior patches ensured that any bio that interacts with a request_queue
is properly associated with a blkg. This makes bio-&gt;bi_css unnecessary
as blkg maintains a reference to blkcg already.

This removes the bio field bi_css and transfers corresponding uses to
access via bi_blkg.

This reverts a series committed earlier due to null pointer exception
bug report in [1]. It seems there are edge case interactions that I did
not consider and will need some time to understand what causes the
adverse interactions.

The original series can be found in [2] with a follow up series in [3].

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers

   This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
   from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot
   of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.

   He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
   inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
   these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
   code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just
   get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the
   original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well
   as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are
   limited to not being called in NMIs.

 - Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
   for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow
   them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe
   SRCU API.

 - New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.

 - Addition of mcount-nop option support

 - SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.

 - Various other fixes and clean ups.

 - Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before
   the merge window opened.

Masami Hiramatsu reported:

  Current trace-enable attribute in sysfs returns an error
  if user writes the same setting value as current one,
  e.g.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

  But this is not a preferred behavior, it should ignore
  if new setting is same as current one. This fixes the
  problem as below.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
