Fix a nested dead lock as part of ODP flow by using mmput_async().

From the below call trace [1] can see that calling mmput() once we have
the umem_odp-&gt;umem_mutex locked as required by
ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock() might trigger in the same task the
exit_mmap()-&gt;__mmu_notifier_release()-&gt;mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() which
may dead lock when trying to lock the same mutex.

Moving to use mmput_async() will solve the problem as the above
exit_mmap() flow will be called in other task and will be executed once
the lock will be available.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Runtime verification infrastructure

   This is the biggest change here. It introduces the runtime
   verification that is necessary for running Linux on safety critical
   systems.

   It allows for deterministic automata models to be inserted into the
   kernel that will attach to tracepoints, where the information on
   these tracepoints will move the model from state to state.

   If a state is encountered that does not belong to the model, it will
   then activate a given reactor, that could just inform the user or
   even panic the kernel (for which safety critical systems will detect
   and can recover from).

 - Two monitor models are also added: Wakeup In Preemptive (WIP - not to
   be confused with "work in progress"), and Wakeup While Not Running
   (WWNR).

 - Added __vstring() helper to the TRACE_EVENT() macro to replace
   several vsnprintf() usages that were all doing it wrong.

 - eprobes now can have their event autogenerated when the event name is
   left off.

 - The rest is various cleanups and fixes.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with

In Linux terms, the runtime verification monitors are encapsulated
inside the "RV monitor" abstraction. The "RV monitor" includes a set
of instances of the monitor (per-cpu monitor, per-task monitor, and
so on), the helper functions that glue the monitor to the system
reference model, and the trace output as a reaction for event parsing
and exceptions, as depicted below:

                                 +-------&gt; &lt;user-specified&gt;

Add the rv/da_monitor.h, enabling automatic code generation for the
*Monitor Instance(s)* using C macros, and code to support it.

The benefits of the usage of macro for monitor synthesis are 3-fold as it:

- Reduces the code duplication;
- Facilitates the bug fix/improvement;
- Avoids the case of developers changing the core of the monitor code
  to manipulate the model in a (let's say) non-standard way.

This initial implementation presents three different types of monitor
instances:

- DECLARE_DA_MON_GLOBAL(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_CPU(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_TASK(name, type)

The first declares the functions for a global deterministic automata monitor,
the second for monitors with per-cpu instances, and the third with per-task
instances.

In Linux terms, the runtime verification monitors are encapsulated
inside the "RV monitor" abstraction. The "RV monitor" includes a set
of instances of the monitor (per-cpu monitor, per-task monitor, and
so on), the helper functions that glue the monitor to the system
reference model, and the trace output as a reaction for event parsing
and exceptions, as depicted below:

Linux  +----- RV Monitor ----------------------------------+ Formal

                                 +-------&gt; &lt;user-specified&gt;

Add the rv/da_monitor.h, enabling automatic code generation for the
*Monitor Instance(s)* using C macros, and code to support it.

The benefits of the usage of macro for monitor synthesis are 3-fold as it:

- Reduces the code duplication;
- Facilitates the bug fix/improvement;
- Avoids the case of developers changing the core of the monitor code
  to manipulate the model in a (let's say) non-standard way.

This initial implementation presents three different types of monitor
instances:

- DECLARE_DA_MON_GLOBAL(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_CPU(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_TASK(name, type)

The first declares the functions for a global deterministic automata monitor,
the second for monitors with per-cpu instances, and the third with per-task
instances.

This commit adds fields to task_struct and to rcu_tasks_percpu that will
be used to avoid the task-list scan for RCU Tasks Trace grace periods,
and also initializes these fields.

<title>fs/exec: allow to unshare a time namespace on vfork+exec</title>

<content type='text'>
Right now, a new process can't be forked in another time namespace
if it shares mm with its parent. It is prohibited, because each time
namespace has its own vvar page that is mapped into a process address
space.

When a process calls exec, it gets a new mm and so it could be "legal"
to switch time namespace in that case. This was not implemented and
now if we want to do this, we need to add another clone flag to not
break backward compatibility.

We don't have any user requests to switch times on exec except the
vfork+exec combination, so there is no reason to add a new clone flag.
As for vfork+exec, this should be safe to allow switching timens with
the current clone flag. Right now, vfork (CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM) fails
if a child is forked into another time namespace. With this change,
vfork creates a new process in parent's timens, and the following exec
does the actual switch to the target time namespace.

Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
  tasks.

  Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
  all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
  kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
  kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
  struct kthread possible.

  Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
  init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
  enough to be backportable.

  The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Almost all of MM here. A few things are still getting finished off,
  reviewed, etc.

   - Yang Shi has improved the behaviour of khugepaged collapsing of
     readonly file-backed transparent hugepages.

   - Johannes Weiner has arranged for zswap memory use to be tracked and
     managed on a per-cgroup basis.

   - Munchun Song adds a /proc knob ("hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap") for
     runtime enablement of the recent huge page vmemmap optimization
     feature.

   - Baolin Wang contributes a series to fix some issues around hugetlb
     pagetable invalidation.

   - Zhenwei Pi has fixed some interactions between hwpoisoned pages and
     virtualization.

   - Tong Tiangen has enabled the use of the presently x86-only
     page_table_check debugging feature on arm64 and riscv.

   - David Vernet has done some fixup work on the memcg selftests.

   - Peter Xu has taught userfaultfd to handle write protection faults
     against shmem- and hugetlbfs-backed files.

   - More DAMON development from SeongJae Park - adding online tuning of
     the feature and support for monitoring of fixed virtual address
     ranges. Also easier discovery of which monitoring operations are
     available.

   - Nadav Amit has done some optimization of TLB flushing during
     mprotect().

   - Neil Brown continues to labor away at improving our swap-over-NFS
     support.

   - David Hildenbrand has some fixes to anon page COWing versus
     get_user_pages().

   - Peng Liu fixed some errors in the core hugetlb code.

   - Joao Martins has reduced the amount of memory consumed by
     device-dax's compound devmaps.

   - Some cleanups of the arch-specific pagemap code from Anshuman
     Khandual.

   - Muchun Song has found and fixed some errors in the TLB flushing of
     transparent hugepages.

   - Roman Gushchin has done more work on the memcg selftests.

Pull x86 splitlock updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add Raptor Lake to the set of CPU models which support splitlock

 - Make life miserable for apps using split locks by slowing them down
   considerably while the rest of the system remains responsive. The
   hope is it will hurt more and people will really fix their misaligned
   locks apps. As a result, free a TIF bit.

Pull x86 splitlock updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add Raptor Lake to the set of CPU models which support splitlock

 - Make life miserable for apps using split locks by slowing them down
   considerably while the rest of the system remains responsive. The
   hope is it will hurt more and people will really fix their misaligned
   locks apps. As a result, free a TIF bit.

The most callers of khugepaged_enter() don't care about the return value. 
Only dup_mmap(), anonymous THP page fault and MADV_HUGEPAGE handle the
error by returning -ENOMEM.  Actually it is not harmful for them to ignore
the error case either.  It also sounds overkilling to fail fork() and page
fault early due to khugepaged_enter() error, and MADV_HUGEPAGE does set
VM_HUGEPAGE flag regardless of the error.
