Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - objpool: Fix objpool overrun case on memory/cache access delay
   especially on the big.LITTLE SoC. The objpool uses a copy of object
   slot index internal loop, but the slot index can be changed on
   another processor in parallel. In that case, the difference of 'head'
   local copy and the 'slot-&gt;last' index will be bigger than local slot
   size. In that case, we need to re-read the slot::head to update it.

 - kretprobe: Fix to use appropriate rcu API for kretprobe holder. Since
   kretprobe_holder::rp is RCU managed, it should use
   rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference_check() correctly. Also
   adding __rcu tag for finding wrong usage by sparse.

 - rethook: Fix to use appropriate rcu API for rethook::handler. The
   same as kretprobe, rethook::handler is RCU managed and it should use
   rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference_check(). This also adds
   __rcu tag for finding wrong usage by sparse.

objpool overrun stress with test_objpool on OrangePi5+ SBC triggered the
following kernel warnings:

    WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 3115 at lib/objpool.c:168 objpool_push+0xc0/0x100

This message is from objpool.c:168:

    WARN_ON_ONCE(tail - head &gt; pool-&gt;nr_objs);

The overrun test case is to validate the case that pre-allocated objects
are insufficient: 8 objects are pre-allocated for each node and consumer
thread per node tries to grab 16 objects in a row. The testing system is
OrangePI 5+, with RK3588, a big.LITTLE SOC with 4x A76 and 4x A55. When
disabling either all 4 big or 4 little cores, the overrun tests run well,
and once with big and little cores mixed together, the overrun test would
always cause an overrun loop. It's likely the memory timing differences
of big and little cores cause this trouble. Here are the debugging data
of objpool_try_get_slot after try_cmpxchg_release:

    objpool_pop: cpu: 4/0 0:0 head: 278/279 tail:278 last:276/278

The local copies of 'head' and 'last' were 278 and 276, and reloading of
'slot-&gt;head' and 'slot-&gt;last' got 279 and 278. After try_cmpxchg_release
'slot-&gt;head' became 'head + 1', which is correct. But what's wrong here
is the stale value of 'last', and that stale value of 'last' finally led
the overrun of 'head'.

Memory updating of 'last' and 'head' are performed in push() and pop()
independently, which could be the culprit leading this out of order
visibility of 'last' and 'head'. So for objpool_try_get_slot(), it's
not enough only checking the condition of 'head != slot', the implicit
condition 'last - head &lt;= nr_objs' must also be explicitly asserted to
guarantee 'last' is always behind 'head' before the object retrieving.

This patch will check and try reloading of 'head' and 'last' to ensure
'last' is behind 'head' at the time of object retrieving. Performance
testings show the average impact is about 0.1% for X86_64 and 1.12% for
ARM64. Here are the results:

Pull parisc architecture fixes from Helge Deller:
 "This patchset fixes and enforces correct section alignments for the
  ex_table, altinstructions, parisc_unwind, jump_table and bug_table
  which are created by inline assembly.

  Due to not being correctly aligned at link &amp; load time they can
  trigger unnecessarily the kernel unaligned exception handler at
  runtime. While at it, I switched the bug table to use relative
  addresses which reduces the size of the table by half on 64-bit.

  We still had the ENOSYM and EREMOTERELEASE errno symbols as left-overs
  from HP-UX, which now trigger build-issues with glibc. We can simply
  remove them.

  Most of the patches are tagged for stable kernel series.

  Summary:

   - Drop HP-UX ENOSYM and EREMOTERELEASE return codes to avoid glibc
     build issues

   - Fix section alignments for ex_table, altinstructions, parisc unwind
     table, jump_table and bug_table

Those return codes are only defined for the parisc architecture and
are leftovers from when we wanted to be HP-UX compatible.

They are not returned by any Linux kernel syscall but do trigger
problems with the glibc strerrorname_np() and strerror() functions as
reported in glibc issue #31080.

There is no need to keep them, so simply remove them.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - Avoid calling back into LSMs from vfs_getattr_nosec() calls.

   IMA used to query inode properties accessing raw inode fields without
   dedicated helpers. That was finally fixed a few releases ago by
   forcing IMA to use vfs_getattr_nosec() helpers.

   The goal of the vfs_getattr_nosec() helper is to query for attributes
   without calling into the LSM layer which would be quite problematic
   because incredibly IMA is called from __fput()...

     __fput()
       -&gt; ima_file_free()

   What it does is to call back into the filesystem to update the file's
   IMA xattr. Querying the inode without using vfs_getattr_nosec() meant
   that IMA didn't handle stacking filesystems such as overlayfs
   correctly. So the switch to vfs_getattr_nosec() is quite correct. But
   the switch to vfs_getattr_nosec() revealed another bug when used on
   stacking filesystems:

     __fput()
       -&gt; ima_file_free()
          -&gt; vfs_getattr_nosec()
             -&gt; i_op-&gt;getattr::ovl_getattr()
                -&gt; vfs_getattr()
                   -&gt; i_op-&gt;getattr::$WHATEVER_UNDERLYING_FS_getattr()
                      -&gt; security_inode_getattr() # calls back into LSMs

   Now, if that __fput() happens from task_work_run() of an exiting task
   current-&gt;fs and various other pointer could already be NULL. So
   anything in the LSM layer relying on that not being NULL would be
   quite surprised.

   Fix that by passing the information that this is a security request
   through to the stacking filesystem by adding a new internal
   ATT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag. Now the callchain becomes:

     __fput()
       -&gt; ima_file_free()
          -&gt; vfs_getattr_nosec()
             -&gt; i_op-&gt;getattr::ovl_getattr()
                -&gt; if (AT_GETATTR_NOSEC)
                          vfs_getattr_nosec()
                   else
                          vfs_getattr()
                   -&gt; i_op-&gt;getattr::$WHATEVER_UNDERLYING_FS_getattr()

 - Fix a bug introduced with the iov_iter rework from last cycle.

   This broke /proc/kcore by copying too much and without the correct
   offset.

 - Add a missing NULL check when allocating the root inode in
   autofs_fill_super().

 - Fix stable writes for multi-device filesystems (xfs, btrfs etc) and
   the block device pseudo filesystem.

   Stable writes used to be a superblock flag only, making it a per
   filesystem property. Add an additional AS_STABLE_WRITES mapping flag
   to allow for fine-grained control.

 - Ensure that offset_iterate_dir() returns 0 after reaching the end of
   a directory so it adheres to getdents() convention.

Control flow integrity is now checking that type signatures match on
indirect function calls. That breaks closures, which embed a work_struct
in a closure in such a way that a closure_fn may also be used as a
workqueue fn by the underlying closure code.

So we have to change closure fns to take a work_struct as their
argument - but that results in a loss of clarity, as closure fns have
different semantics from normal workqueue functions (they run owning a
ref on the closure, which must be released with continue_at() or
closure_return()).

Thus, this patc introduces CLOSURE_CALLBACK() and closure_type() macros
as suggested by Kees, to smooth things over a bit.
