Add a NULL-pointer check after the kcalloc() call in init_vdso(). If
allocation fails, return -ENOMEM to prevent a possible dereference of
vdso_info.code_mapping.pages when it is NULL.

<content type='text'>
When testing the kernel live patching with "modprobe livepatch-sample",
there is a timeout over 15 seconds from "starting patching transition"
to "patching complete". The dmesg command shows "unreliable stack" for
user tasks in debug mode, here is one of the messages:

  livepatch: klp_try_switch_task: bash:1193 has an unreliable stack

The "unreliable stack" is because it can not unwind from do_syscall()
to its previous frame handle_syscall(). It should use fp to find the
original stack top due to secondary stack in do_syscall(), but fp is
not used for some other functions, then fp can not be restored by the
next frame of do_syscall(), so it is necessary to save fp if task is
not current, in order to get the stack top of do_syscall().

Here are the call chains:

  klp_enable_patch()
    klp_try_complete_transition()
      klp_try_switch_task()
        klp_check_and_switch_task()
          klp_check_stack()
            stack_trace_save_tsk_reliable()
              arch_stack_walk_reliable()

When executing "rmmod livepatch-sample", there exists a similar issue.
With this patch, it takes a short time for patching and unpatching.

Before:

As Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst suggested, show() should only use
sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting the value to be returned
to user space.

<title>LoongArch: Save LBT before FPU in setup_sigcontext()</title>

Now if preemption happens between protected_save_fpu_context() and
protected_save_lbt_context(), FTOP context is lost. Because FTOP is
saved by protected_save_lbt_context() but protected_save_fpu_context()
disables TM before that. So save LBT before FPU in setup_sigcontext()
to avoid this potential risk.

When enabling CONFIG_KASAN, CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY_BUILD and
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY at the same time, there will be soft deadlock,
the relevant logs are as follows:

[&lt;900000000024d6fc&gt;] handle_syscall+0xbc/0x158

After analysis, this is because the slow speed of loading the amdgpu
module leads to the long time occupation of the cpu and then the soft
deadlock.

When loading a module, module_frob_arch_sections() tries to figure out
the number of PLTs/GOTs that will be needed to handle all the RELAs. It
will call the count_max_entries() to find in an out-of-order date which
counting algorithm has O(n^2) complexity.

To make it faster, we sort the relocation list by info and addend. That
way, to check for a duplicate relocation, it just needs to compare with
the previous entry. This reduces the complexity of the algorithm to O(n
 log n), as done in commit d4e0340919fb ("arm64/module: Optimize module
load time by optimizing PLT counting"). This gives sinificant reduction
in module load time for modules with large number of relocations.

After applying this patch, the soft deadlock problem has been solved,
and the kernel starts normally without "Call Trace".

Using the default configuration to test some modules, the results are as
follows:

Module              Size
ip_tables           36K
fat                 143K
radeon              2.5MB
amdgpu              16MB

Without this patch:
Module              Module load time (ms)	Count(PLTs/GOTs)
ip_tables           18				59/6
fat                 0				162/14
radeon              54				1221/84
amdgpu              1411			4525/1098

<title>LoongArch: Add cpuhotplug hooks to fix high cpu usage of vCPU threads</title>

<content type='text'>
When the CPU is offline, the timer of LoongArch is not correctly closed.
This is harmless for real machines, but resulting in an excessively high
cpu usage rate of the offline vCPU thread in the virtual machines.

To correctly close the timer, we have made the following modifications:

Register the cpu hotplug event (CPUHP_AP_LOONGARCH_ARCH_TIMER_STARTING)
for LoongArch. This event's hooks will be called to close the timer when
the CPU is offline.

Clear the timer interrupt when the timer is turned off. Since before the
timer is turned off, there may be a timer interrupt that has already been
in the pending state due to the interruption of the disabled, which also
affects the halt state of the offline vCPU.

<title>LoongArch: BPF: Add dynamic code modification support</title>

<content type='text'>
This commit adds support for BPF dynamic code modification on the
LoongArch architecture:
1. Add bpf_arch_text_copy() for instruction block copying.
2. Add bpf_arch_text_poke() for runtime instruction patching.
3. Add bpf_arch_text_invalidate() for code invalidation.

On LoongArch, since symbol addresses in the direct mapping region can't
be reached via relative jump instructions from the paged mapping region,
we use the move_imm+jirl instruction pair as absolute jump instructions.
These require 2-5 instructions, so we reserve 5 NOP instructions in the
program as placeholders for function jumps.

The larch_insn_text_copy() function is solely used for BPF. And the use
of larch_insn_text_copy() requires PAGE_SIZE alignment. Currently, only
the size of the BPF trampoline is page-aligned.
