Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"This includes Roman's cgroup2 freezer implementation.
It's a separate machanism from cgroup1 freezer. Instead of blocking
user tasks in arbitrary uninterruptible sleeps, the new implementation
extends jobctl stop - frozen tasks are trapped in jobctl stop until
thawed and can be killed and ptraced. Lots of thanks to Oleg for
sheperding the effort.
Other than that, there are a few trivial changes"

The problem is caused by the ptrace_signal() call in the for loop
in get_signal(). There is a cgroup_enter_frozen() call inside
ptrace_signal(), so after exit from ptrace_signal() the task->frozen
bit might be set. In this case do_group_exit() can be called with the
task->frozen bit set and trigger the warning. This is only place where
we can leave the loop with the task->frozen bit set and without
setting JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE and TIF_SIGPENDING.
To resolve this problem, let's move cgroup_leave_frozen(true) call to
just after the fatal label. If the task is going to die, the frozen
bit must be cleared no matter how we get into this point.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"We've got a reasonably broad set of audit patches for the v5.2 merge
window, the highlights are below:
- The biggest change, and the source of all the arch/* changes, is
the patchset from Dmitry to help enable some of the work he is
doing around PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO.
To be honest, including this in the audit tree is a bit of a
stretch, but it does help move audit a little further along towards
proper syscall auditing for all arches, and everyone else seemed to
agree that audit was a "good" spot for this to land (or maybe they
just didn't want to merge it? dunno.).
- We can now audit time/NTP adjustments.
- We continue the work to connect associated audit records into a
single event"

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pidfds at process creation
time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system
call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to
clone() instead of making it a separate system call.
After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the
parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid
and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information
thus becomes rather trivial.
As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on
anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made
unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel
code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd,
signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small.
The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes
to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional.
A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel
supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in
the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status
file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".
To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes
with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of
CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free
access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>.
Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work
makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I
would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it
for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window"

Let pidfd_send_signal() use pidfds retrieved via CLONE_PIDFD. With this
patch pidfd_send_signal() becomes independent of procfs. This fullfils
the request made when we merged the pidfd_send_signal() patchset. The
pidfd_send_signal() syscall is now always available allowing for it to
be used by users without procfs mounted or even users without procfs
support compiled into the kernel.

This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pid file descriptors at
process creation time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the
clone() system call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a
new flag to clone() instead of making it a separate system call. As
spotted by Linus, there is exactly one bit for clone() left.
CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on the anonymous inode
implementation in the kernel that will also be used to implement the new
mount api. They serve as a simple opaque handle on pids. Logically,
this makes it possible to interpret a pidfd differently, narrowing or
widening the scope of various operations (e.g. signal sending). Thus, a
pidfd cannot just refer to a tgid, but also a tid, or in theory - given
appropriate flag arguments in relevant syscalls - a process group or
session. A pidfd does not represent a privilege. This does not imply it
cannot ever be that way but for now this is not the case.
A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel supports
procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in the callers
pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".
As suggested by Oleg, with CLONE_PIDFD the pidfd is returned in the
parent_tidptr argument of clone. This has the advantage that we can
give back the associated pid and the pidfd at the same time.
To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes with
a sample program that illustrates how a combination of CLONE_PIDFD, and
pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free access to process
metadata through /proc/<pid>. The sample program can easily be
translated into a helper that would be suitable for inclusion in libc so
that users don't have to worry about writing it themselves.

which is superior to the previous one as it can detect not just a
single periodic pattern, but independent periodic patterns along a

Pull stack trace updates from Ingo Molnar:
"So Thomas looked at the stacktrace code recently and noticed a few
weirdnesses, and we all know how such stories of crummy kernel code
meeting German engineering perfection end: a 45-patch series to clean
it all up! :-)
Here's the changes in Thomas's words:
'Struct stack_trace is a sinkhole for input and output parameters
which is largely pointless for most usage sites. In fact if embedded
into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage
overhead for no benefit.
Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an
interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on
stack, global or embedded into some other data structure.
Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but
fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for
nothing and does not have functional impact.
Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace
with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what
determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call
sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty
comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do,
do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or
unconditionally.
The following series cleans that up by:
1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code
2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites
3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace
and stackdepot.
4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related
cleanups.
5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces
This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the
architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic
code'"

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This is a series from Peter Zijlstra that adds x86 build-time uaccess
validation of SMAP to objtool, which will detect and warn about the
following uaccess API usage bugs and weirdnesses:
- call to %s() with UACCESS enabled
- return with UACCESS enabled
- return with UACCESS disabled from a UACCESS-safe function
- recursive UACCESS enable
- redundant UACCESS disable
- UACCESS-safe disables UACCESS
As it turns out not leaking uaccess permissions outside the intended
uaccess functionality is hard when the interfaces are complex and when
such bugs are mostly dormant.
As a bonus we now also check the DF flag. We had at least one
high-profile bug in that area in the early days of Linux, and the
checking is fairly simple. The checks performed and warnings emitted
are:
- call to %s() with DF set
- return with DF set
- return with modified stack frame
- recursive STD
- redundant CLD
It's all x86-only for now, but later on this can also be used for PAN
on ARM and objtool is fairly cross-platform in principle.
While all warnings emitted by this new checking facility that got
reported to us were fixed, there might be GCC version dependent
warnings that were not reported yet - which we'll address, should they
trigger.
The warnings are non-fatal build warnings"

A task should never enter the exit path with the task->frozen bit set.
Any frozen task must enter the signal handling loop and the only
way to escape is through cgroup_leave_frozen(true), which
unconditionally drops the task->frozen bit. So it means that
cgroyp_freezer_frozen_exit() has zero chances to be called and
has to be removed.
Let's put a WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of the cgroup_freezer_frozen_exit()
call to catch any potential leak of the task's frozen bit.

If freezing of a cgroup races with waking of a task from
the frozen state (like waiting in vfork() or in do_signal_stop()),
a spurious transition of the cgroup state can happen.
The task enters cgroup_leave_frozen(true), the cgroup->nr_frozen_tasks
counter decrements, and the cgroup is switched to the unfrozen state.
To prevent it, let's reserve cgroup_leave_frozen(true) for
terminating processes and use cgroup_leave_frozen(false) otherwise.
To avoid busy-looping in the signal handling loop waiting
for JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE set from the cgroup freezing path,
let's do it explicitly in cgroup_leave_frozen(), if the task
is going to stay frozen.

kobject_init() call added one more operation that has to be
done when doing the early initialization of both static and
dynamic livepatch structures.
It would have been easier when the early initialization code
was not duplicated. Let's deduplicate it for future generations
of livepatching hackers.
The patch does not change the existing behavior.

kobject_init() always succeeds and sets the reference count to 1.
It allows to always free the structures via kobject_put() and
the related release callback.
Note that the custom kobject state handling was used only
because we did not know that kobject_put() can and actually
should get called even when kobject_init_and_add() fails.
The patch should not change the existing behavior.

Allow the boot CPU/CPU0 to be nohz_full. Have the boot CPU take the
do_timer duty during boot until a housekeeping CPU can take over.
This is supported when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP is not configured, or when
it is configured and the arch allows suspend on non-zero CPUs.
nohz_full has been trialed at a large supercomputer site and found to
significantly reduce jitter. In order to deploy it in production, they
need CPU0 to be nohz_full because their job control system requires
the application CPUs to start from 0, and the housekeeping CPUs are
placed higher. An equivalent job scheduling that uses CPU0 for
housekeeping could be achieved by modifying their system, but it is
preferable if nohz_full can support their environment without
modification.

This patch provides an arch option, ARCH_SUSPEND_NONZERO_CPU, to
opt-in to allowing suspend to occur on one of the housekeeping CPUs
rather than hardcoded CPU0.
This will allow CPU0 to be a nohz_full CPU with a later change.
It may be possible for platforms with hardware/firmware restrictions
on suspend/wake effectively support this by handing off the final
stage to CPU0 when kernel housekeeping is no longer required. Another
option is to make housekeeping / nohz_full mask dynamic at runtime,
but the complexity could not be justified at this time.
