Pull ptrace_stop cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "While looking at the ptrace problems with PREEMPT_RT and the problems
  Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite I
  identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own
  and move make resolving the other problems much simpler.

  The biggest issue is the habit of the ptrace code to change
  task-&gt;__state from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up
  the tracee. No other code in the kernel does that and it is straight
  forward to update signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary.

  Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and
  then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying
  on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can
  tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state.

  The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in
  task-&gt;jobctl as well as in task-&gt;__state. This makes it possible for
  the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as
  serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that
  direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake
  ups and become an ordinary stop state.

  The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers
  for a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped
  in the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved
  register values of a task.

  There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found
  while looking at these issues.

  One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5f6
  ("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This
  makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling
  of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly. According
  to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing cares that
  spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case"

* tag 'ptrace_stop-cleanup-for-v5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  sched,signal,ptrace: Rework TASK_TRACED, TASK_STOPPED state

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
  slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of
  #ifdefs and all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or
  another.

  This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these
  cleanups going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this
  pull request, just cleanups.

  Thanks a lot to the Uniontech and Huawei folks for doing some of this
  nasty work"

Pull RCU update from Paul McKenney:

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offloading updates, mainly simplifications

 - RCU-tasks updates, including some -rt fixups, handling of systems
   with sparse CPU numbering, and a fix for a boot-time race-condition
   failure

 - Put SRCU on a memory diet in order to reduce the size of the
   srcu_struct structure

 - Torture-test updates fixing some bugs in tests and closing some
   testing holes

 - Torture-test updates for the RCU tasks flavors, most notably ensuring
   that building rcutorture and friends does not change the
   RCU-tasks-related Kconfig options

 - Torture-test scripting updates

 - Expedited grace-period updates, most notably providing
   milliseconds-scale (not all that) soft real-time response from
   synchronize_rcu_expedited().

   This is also the first time in almost 30 years of RCU that someone
   other than me has pushed for a reduction in the RCU CPU stall-warning
   timeout, in this case by more than three orders of magnitude from 21
   seconds to 20 milliseconds. This tighter timeout applies only to

Because GCC-12 is fully stupid about array bounds and it's just really
hard to get a solid array definition from a linker script, flip the
array order to avoid needing negative offsets :-/

This makes the whole relational pointer magic a little less obvious, but
alas.

Commit fa2c3254d7cf (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p-&gt;state when emitting
sched_switch event, 2022-01-20) added a new prev_state argument to the
sched_switch tracepoint, before the prev task_struct pointer.

This reordering of arguments broke BPF programs that use the raw
tracepoint (e.g. tp_btf programs). The type of the second argument has
changed and existing programs that assume a task_struct* argument
(e.g. for bpf_task_storage access) will now fail to verify.

If we instead append the new argument to the end, all existing programs
would continue to work and can conditionally extract the prev_state
argument on supported kernel versions.

Stop playing with tsk-&gt;__state to remove TASK_WAKEKILL while a ptrace
command is executing.

Instead remove TASK_WAKEKILL from the definition of TASK_TRACED, and
implement a new jobctl flag TASK_PTRACE_FROZEN.  This new flag is set
in jobctl_freeze_task and cleared when ptrace_stop is awoken or in
jobctl_unfreeze_task (when ptrace_stop remains asleep).

In signal_wake_up add __TASK_TRACED to state along with TASK_WAKEKILL
when the wake up is for a fatal signal.  Skip adding __TASK_TRACED
when TASK_PTRACE_FROZEN is not set.  This has the same effect as
changing TASK_TRACED to __TASK_TRACED as all of the wake_ups that use
TASK_KILLABLE go through signal_wake_up.

Handle a ptrace_stop being called with a pending fatal signal.
Previously it would have been handled by schedule simply failing to
sleep.  As TASK_WAKEKILL is no longer part of TASK_TRACED schedule
will sleep with a fatal_signal_pending.   The code in signal_wake_up
guarantees that the code will be awaked by any fatal signal that
codes after TASK_TRACED is set.

Previously the __state value of __TASK_TRACED was changed to
TASK_RUNNING when woken up or back to TASK_TRACED when the code was
left in ptrace_stop.  Now when woken up ptrace_stop now clears
JOBCTL_PTRACE_FROZEN and when left sleeping ptrace_unfreezed_traced
clears JOBCTL_PTRACE_FROZEN.

<title>sched/core: Avoid obvious double update_rq_clock warning</title>

<id>2679a83731d51a744657f718fc02c3b077e47562</id>
<content type='text'>
When we use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire the rq lock and have to
update the rq clock while holding the lock, the kernel may issue
a WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

Since we directly use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire rq lock instead of
rq_lock(), there is no corresponding change to rq-&gt;clock_update_flags.
In particular, we have obtained the rq lock of other CPUs, the
rq-&gt;clock_update_flags of this CPU may be RQCF_UPDATED at this time, and
then calling update_rq_clock() will trigger the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

So we need to clear RQCF_UPDATED of rq-&gt;clock_update_flags to avoid
the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

For the sched_rt_period_timer() and migrate_task_rq_dl() cases
we simply replace raw_spin_rq_lock()/raw_spin_rq_unlock() with
rq_lock()/rq_unlock().

For the {pull,push}_{rt,dl}_task() cases, we add the
double_rq_clock_clear_update() function to clear RQCF_UPDATED of
rq-&gt;clock_update_flags, and call double_rq_clock_clear_update()
before double_lock_balance()/double_rq_lock() returns to avoid the
WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

3. Run some rt/dl tasks that periodically work and sleep, e.g.
Create 2*n rt or dl (90% running) tasks via rt-app (on a system
with n CPUs), and Dietmar Eggemann reports Call Trace 4 when running
