[ Upstream commit b18b099e04f450cdc77bec72acefcde7042bd1f3 ]

On my system the kernel processes the "kgdb_earlycon" parameter before
the "kgdbcon" parameter.  When we setup "kgdb_earlycon" we'll end up
in kgdb_register_callbacks() and "kgdb_use_con" won't have been set
yet so we'll never get around to starting "kgdbcon".  Let's remedy
this by detecting that the IO module was already registered when
setting "kgdb_use_con" and registering the console then.

As part of this, to avoid pre-declaring things, move the handling of
the "kgdbcon" further down in the file.

[ Upstream commit 921c7ebd1337d1a46783d7e15a850e12aed2eaa0 ]

If should_futex_fail() returns true in futex_wake_pi(), then the 'ret'
variable is set to -EFAULT and then immediately overwritten. So the failure
injection is non-functional.

Fix it by actually leaving the function and returning -EFAULT.

The Fixes tag is kinda blury because the initial commit which introduced
failure injection was already sloppy, but the below mentioned commit broke
it completely.

get_gendisk grabs a reference on the disk and file operation, so this

gendisk itself.

Commit:

  765cc3a4b224e ("sched/core: Optimize sched_feat() for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG builds")

made sched features static for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG configurations, but
overlooked the CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL cases.

For the latter echoing changes to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features has
the nasty effect of effectively changing what sched_features reports,
but without actually changing the scheduler behaviour (since different
translation units get different sysctl_sched_features).

Fix CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL configurations by properly
restructuring ifdefs.

[ Upstream commit d081a6e353168f15e63eb9e9334757f20343319f ]

Currently using forward search doesn't handle multi-line strings correctly.
The search routine replaces line breaks with \0 during the search and, for
regular searches ("help | grep Common\n"), there is code after the line
has been discarded or printed to replace the break character.

However during a pager search ("help\n" followed by "/Common\n") when the
string is matched we will immediately return to normal output and the code
that should restore the \n becomes unreachable. Fix this by restoring the
replaced character when we disable the search mode and update the comment
accordingly.

<title>mm, oom_adj: don't loop through tasks in __set_oom_adj when not necessary</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 67197a4f28d28d0b073ab0427b03cb2ee5382578 ]

Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep
oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing
their mm.  This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which
includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals).
However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal
structure is shared as well.

Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role
(background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it
more/less important.  Such operation can happen frequently.  We noticed
that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further
investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a
regression.  Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to
oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us.  Moreover this regression
linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the
system.

Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with
(CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD &amp;&amp; !CLONE_VFORK).  Change __set_oom_adj to use
MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj
update should be synchronized between multiple processes.  To prevent
races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the
process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use
oom_adj_mutex.  Its scope is changed to global.

The combination of (CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for
the case of vfork().  To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we
skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is
specified.  Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process
sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and
because it is believed that this threading model is rare.  Should there
ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking
into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern.

With the combination of (CLONE_VM &amp;&amp; !CLONE_THREAD &amp;&amp; !CLONE_VFORK) being
quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

looses any return value from smp_call_function_single() that is not

commit 4013c1496c49615d90d36b9d513eee8e369778e9 upstream.

Kernel threads intentionally do CLONE_FS in order to follow any changes
that 'init' does to set up the root directory (or cwd).

It is admittedly a bit odd, but it avoids the situation where 'init'
does some extensive setup to initialize the system environment, and then
we execute a usermode helper program, and it uses the original FS setup
from boot time that may be very limited and incomplete.

[ Both Al Viro and Eric Biederman point out that 'pivot_root()' will
  follow the root regardless, since it fixes up other users of root (see
  chroot_fs_refs() for details), but overmounting root and doing a
  chroot() would not. ]

However, Vegard Nossum noticed that the CLONE_FS not only means that we
follow the root and current working directories, it also means we share
umask with whatever init changed it to. That wasn't intentional.

Just reset umask to the original default (0022) before actually starting
the usermode helper program.

<content type='text'>
commit b40341fad6cc2daa195f8090fd3348f18fff640a upstream.

The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do
is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when
"rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing
to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before
function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an
infinite recursion loop.

rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should
never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the
first thing done in callback functions.
