2022-02-05psi: Fix uaf issue when psi trigger is destroyed while being polledSuren Baghdasaryan
commit a06247c6804f1a7c86a2e5398a4c1f1db1471848 upstream. With write operation on psi files replacing old trigger with a new one, the lifetime of its waitqueue is totally arbitrary. Overwriting an existing trigger causes its waitqueue to be freed and pending poll() will stumble on trigger->event_wait which was destroyed. Fix this by disallowing to redefine an existing psi trigger. If a write operation is used on a file descriptor with an already existing psi trigger, the operation will fail with EBUSY error. Also bypass a check for psi_disabled in the psi_trigger_destroy as the flag can be flipped after the trigger is created, leading to a memory leak.

2019-07-15docs: accounting: convert to ReSTMauro Carvalho Chehab
Rename the accounting documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
