The ftrace selftest reported a failure because writing -1 to
sched_rt_runtime_us returns -EBUSY. This happens when the possible
CPUs are different from active CPUs.

Active CPUs are part of one root domain, while remaining CPUs are part
of def_root_domain. Since active cpumask is being used, this results in
cpus=0 when a non active CPUs is used in the loop.

Fix it by looping over the online CPUs instead for validating the
bandwidth calculations.

It is already difficult for users to troubleshoot which of multiple pid
limits restricts their workload. The per-(hierarchical-)NS pid_max would
contribute to the confusion.
Also, the implementation copies the limit upon creation from
parent, this pattern showed cumbersome with some attributes in legacy
cgroup controllers -- it's subject to race condition between parent's
limit modification and children creation and once copied it must be
changed in the descendant.

Let's do what other places do (ucounts or cgroup limits) -- create new
pid namespaces without any limit at all. The global limit (actually any
ancestor's limit) is still effectively in place, we avoid the
set/unshare race and bumps of global (ancestral) limit have the desired
effect on pid namespace that do not care.

<title>sched/fair: Fix potential memory corruption in child_cfs_rq_on_list</title>

<content type='text'>
child_cfs_rq_on_list attempts to convert a 'prev' pointer to a cfs_rq.
This 'prev' pointer can originate from struct rq's leaf_cfs_rq_list,
making the conversion invalid and potentially leading to memory
corruption. Depending on the relative positions of leaf_cfs_rq_list and
the task group (tg) pointer within the struct, this can cause a memory
fault or access garbage data.

The issue arises in list_add_leaf_cfs_rq, where both
cfs_rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list and rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list are added to the same
leaf list. Also, rq-&gt;tmp_alone_branch can be set to rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list.

This adds a check `if (prev == &amp;rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list)` after the main
conditional in child_cfs_rq_on_list. This ensures that the container_of
operation will convert a correct cfs_rq struct.

This check is sufficient because only cfs_rqs on the same CPU are added
to the list, so verifying the 'prev' pointer against the current rq's list
head is enough.

Fixes a potential memory corruption issue that due to current struct
layout might not be manifesting as a crash but could lead to unpredictable
behavior when the layout changes.

Pull probe events fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - probe-events: Remove unused MAX_ARG_BUF_LEN macro - it is not used

 - fprobe-events: Log error for exceeding the number of entry args.

   Since the max number of entry args is limited, it should be checked
   and rejected when the parser detects it.

 - tprobe-events: Reject invalid tracepoint name

   If a user specifies an invalid tracepoint name (e.g. including '/')
   then the new event is not defined correctly in the eventfs.

 - tprobe-events: Fix a memory leak when tprobe defined with $retval

   There is a memory leak if tprobe is defined with $retval.

There is a fairly obvious race between perf_init_event() doing
idr_find() and perf_pmu_register() doing idr_alloc() with an
incompletely initialized PMU pointer.

Avoid by doing idr_alloc() on a NULL pointer to register the id, and
swizzling the real struct pmu pointer at the end using idr_replace().

Also making sure to not set struct pmu members after publishing
the struct pmu, duh.

[ introduce idr_cmpxchg() in order to better handle the idr_replace()
  error case -- if it were to return an unexpected pointer, it will
  already have replaced the value and there is no going back. ]

Commit a63fbed776c7 ("perf/tracing/cpuhotplug: Fix locking order")
placed pmus_lock inside pmus_srcu, this makes perf_pmu_unregister()
trip lockdep.

Move the locking about such that only pmu_idr and pmus (list) are
modified while holding pmus_lock. This avoids doing synchronize_srcu()
while holding pmus_lock and all is well again.

Commit a63fbed776c7 ("perf/tracing/cpuhotplug: Fix locking order")
placed pmus_lock inside pmus_srcu, this makes perf_pmu_unregister()
trip lockdep.

Move the locking about such that only pmu_idr and pmus (list) are
modified while holding pmus_lock. This avoids doing synchronize_srcu()
while holding pmus_lock and all is well again.
