nbcon_context_try_acquire() compared panic_cpu directly with
smp_processor_id(). This open-coded check is now provided by
panic_on_this_cpu().
Switch to panic_on_this_cpu() to simplify the code and improve readability.

vpanic() had open-coded logic to claim panic_cpu with atomic_try_cmpxchg.
This is already handled by panic_try_start().
Switch to panic_try_start() and use panic_on_other_cpu() for the fallback
path.
This removes duplicate code and makes panic handling consistent across
functions.

nmi_panic() duplicated the logic to claim panic_cpu with
atomic_try_cmpxchg. This is already wrapped in panic_try_start().
Replace the open-coded logic with panic_try_start(), and use
panic_on_other_cpu() for the fallback path.
This removes duplication and keeps panic handling code consistent.

Patch series "panic: introduce panic status function family", v2.
This series introduces a family of helper functions to manage panic state
and updates existing code to use them.
Before this series, panic state helpers were scattered and inconsistent.
For example, panic_in_progress() was defined in printk/printk.c, not in
panic.c or panic.h. As a result, developers had to look in unexpected
places to understand or re-use panic state logic. Other checks were open-
coded, duplicating logic across panic, crash, and watchdog paths.
The new helpers centralize the functionality in panic.c/panic.h:
- panic_try_start()
- panic_reset()
- panic_in_progress()
- panic_on_this_cpu()
- panic_on_other_cpu()
Patches 1–8 add the helpers and convert panic/crash and printk/nbcon
code to use them.
Patch 9 fixes a bug in the watchdog subsystem by skipping checks when a
panic is in progress, avoiding interference with the panic CPU.
Together, this makes panic state handling simpler, more discoverable, and
more robust.
This patch (of 9):
This patch introduces four new helper functions to abstract the management
of the panic_cpu variable. These functions will be used in subsequent
patches to refactor existing code.
The direct use of panic_cpu can be error-prone and ambiguous, as it
requires manual checks to determine which CPU is handling the panic. The
new helpers clarify intent:
panic_try_start():
Atomically sets the current CPU as the panicking CPU.
panic_reset():
Reset panic_cpu to PANIC_CPU_INVALID.
panic_in_progress():
Checks if a panic has been triggered.
panic_on_this_cpu():
Returns true if the current CPU is the panic originator.
panic_on_other_cpu():
Returns true if a panic is on another CPU.
This change lays the groundwork for improved code readability
and robustness in the panic handling subsystem.

Just like for 'panic_print's systcl interface, add similar note for setup
of kernel cmdline parameter and parameter under /sys/module/kernel/.
Also add __core_param_cb() macro, which enables to add special get/set

kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread()
Unlike sys_clone(), these helpers have only in kernel users which should
pass the correct "flags" argument. lower_32_bits(flags) just adds the
unnecessary confusion and doesn't allow to use the CLONE_ flags which
don't fit into 32 bits.
create_io_thread() looks especially confusing because:
- "flags" is a compile-time constant, so lower_32_bits() simply
has no effect
- .exit_signal = (lower_32_bits(flags) & CSIGNAL) is harmless but
doesn't look right, copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) will ignore this
argument anyway.
None of these helpers actually need CLONE_UNTRACED or "& ~CSIGNAL", but
their presence does not add any confusion and improves code clarity.

Since we use 16-bit precision, the raw data will undergo integer division,
which may sometimes result in data loss. This can lead to slightly
inaccurate CPU utilization calculations. Under normal circumstances, this
isn't an issue. However, when CPU utilization reaches 100%, the
calculated result might exceed 100%. For example, with raw data like the
following:
sample_period 400000134 new_stat 83648414036 old_stat 83247417494
sample_period=400000134/2^24=23
new_stat=83648414036/2^24=4985
old_stat=83247417494/2^24=4961
util=105%
Below log will output：
CPU#3 Utilization every 0s during lockup:
#1: 0% system, 0% softirq, 105% hardirq, 0% idle
#2: 0% system, 0% softirq, 105% hardirq, 0% idle
#3: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#4: 0% system, 0% softirq, 105% hardirq, 0% idle
#5: 0% system, 0% softirq, 105% hardirq, 0% idle
To avoid confusion, we enforce a 100% display cap when calculations exceed
this threshold.
We also round to the nearest multiple of 16.8 milliseconds to improve the
accuracy.

KCOV Remote uses two separate memory buffers, one private to the kernel
space (kcov_remote_areas) and the second one shared between user and
kernel space (kcov->area). After every pair of kcov_remote_start() and
kcov_remote_stop(), the coverage data collected in the kcov_remote_areas
is copied to kcov->area so the user can read the collected coverage data.
This memcpy() is located in kcov_move_area().
The load/store pattern on the kernel-side [1] is:
```
/* dst_area === kcov->area, dst_area[0] is where the count is stored */
dst_len = READ_ONCE(*(unsigned long *)dst_area);
...
memcpy(dst_entries, src_entries, ...);
...
WRITE_ONCE(*(unsigned long *)dst_area, dst_len + entries_moved);
```
And for the user [2]:
```
/* cover is equivalent to kcov->area */
n = __atomic_load_n(&cover[0], __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
```
Without a write-memory barrier, the atomic load for the user can
potentially read fresh values of the count stored at cover[0], but
continue to read stale coverage data from the buffer itself. Hence, we
recommend adding a write-memory barrier between the memcpy() and the
WRITE_ONCE() in kcov_move_area().

Currently, the kexec_file_load syscall on x86 does not support passing a
device tree blob to the new kernel. Some embedded x86 systems use device
trees. On these systems, failing to pass a device tree to the new kernel
causes a boot failure.
To add support for this, we copy the behavior of ARM64 and PowerPC and
copy the current boot's device tree blob for use in the new kernel. We do
this on x86 by passing the device tree blob as a setup_data entry in
accordance with the x86 boot protocol.
This behavior is gated behind the KEXEC_FILE_FORCE_DTB flag.

is also hung, it should be dumped by the detector. This will de-duplicate

When specifying fixed sized scratch areas, the parser only parses the
three scratch sizes and ignores the rest of the argument. This means the
argument can have any bogus trailing characters.
For example, "kho_scratch=256M,512M,512Mfoobar" results in successful
parsing:
[ 0.000000] KHO: scratch areas: lowmem: 256MiB global: 512MiB pernode: 512MiB
It is generally a good idea to parse arguments as strictly as possible.
In addition, if bogus trailing characters are allowed in the kho_scratch
argument, it is possible that some people might end up using them and
later extensions to the argument format will cause unexpected breakages.
Make sure the argument is fully consumed after all three scratch sizes are
parsed. With this change, the bogus argument
"kho_scratch=256M,512M,512Mfoobar" results in:
[ 0.000000] Malformed early option 'kho_scratch'

Patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when
advised", v5.
This will allow individual processes to opt-out of THP = "always" into THP
= "madvise", without affecting other workloads on the system. This has
been extensively discussed on the mailing list and has been summarized
very well by David in the first patch which also includes the links to
alternatives, please refer to the first patch commit message for the
motivation for this series.
Patch 1 adds the PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED flag to implement this,
along with the MMF changes.
Patch 2 is a cleanup patch for tva_flags that will allow the forced
collapse case to be transmitted to vma_thp_disabled (which is done in
patch 3).
Patch 4 adds documentation for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE/PR_GET_THP_DISABLE.
Patches 6-7 implement the selftests for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE for completely
disabling THPs (old behaviour) and only enabling it at advise
(PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
This patch (of 7):
People want to make use of more THPs, for example, moving from the "never"
system policy to "madvise", or from "madvise" to "always".
While this is great news for every THP desperately waiting to get
allocated out there, apparently there are some workloads that require a
bit of care during that transition: individual processes may need to
opt-out from this behavior for various reasons, and this should be
permitted without needing to make all other workloads on the system
similarly opt-out.
The following scenarios are imaginable:
(1) Switch from "none" system policy to "madvise"/"always", but keep THPs
disabled for selected workloads.
(2) Stay at "none" system policy, but enable THPs for selected
workloads, making only these workloads use the "madvise" or "always"
policy.
(3) Switch from "madvise" system policy to "always", but keep the
"madvise" policy for selected workloads: allocate THPs only when
advised.
(4) Stay at "madvise" system policy, but enable THPs even when not advised
for selected workloads -- "always" policy.
Once can emulate (2) through (1), by setting the system policy to
"madvise"/"always" while disabling THPs for all processes that don't want
THPs. It requires configuring all workloads, but that is a user-space
problem to sort out.
(4) can be emulated through (3) in a similar way.
Back when (1) was relevant in the past, as people started enabling THPs,
we added PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, so relevant workloads that were not ready yet
(i.e., used by Redis) were able to just disable THPs completely. Redis
still implements the option to use this interface to disable THPs
completely.
With PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, we added a way to force-disable THPs for a
workload -- a process, including fork+exec'ed process hierarchy. That
essentially made us support (1): simply disable THPs for all workloads
that are not ready for THPs yet, while still enabling THPs system-wide.
The quest for handling (3) and (4) started, but current approaches
(completely new prctl, options to set other policies per process,
alternatives to prctl -- mctrl, cgroup handling) don't look particularly
promising. Likely, the future will use bpf or something similar to
implement better policies, in particular to also make better decisions
about THP sizes to use, but this will certainly take a while as that work
just started.
Long story short: a simple enable/disable is not really suitable for the
future, so we're not willing to add completely new toggles.
While we could emulate (3)+(4) through (1)+(2) by simply disabling THPs
completely for these processes, this is a step backwards, because these
processes can no longer allocate THPs in regions where THPs were
explicitly advised: regions flagged as VM_HUGEPAGE. Apparently, that
imposes a problem for relevant workloads, because "not THPs" is certainly
worse than "THPs only when advised".
Could we simply relax PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, to "disable THPs unless not
explicitly advised by the app through MAD_HUGEPAGE"? *maybe*, but this
would change the documented semantics quite a bit, and the versatility to
use it for debugging purposes, so I am not 100% sure that is what we want
-- although it would certainly be much easier.
So instead, as an easy way forward for (3) and (4), add an option to
make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE disable *less* THPs for a process.
In essence, this patch:
(A) Adds PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED, to be used as a flag in arg3
of prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) when disabling THPs (arg2 != 0).
prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1, PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
(B) Makes prctl(PR_GET_THP_DISABLE) return 3 if
PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set while disabling.
Previously, it would return 1 if THPs were disabled completely. Now
it returns the set flags as well: 3 if PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED
was set.
(C) Renames MMF_DISABLE_THP to MMF_DISABLE_THP_COMPLETELY, to express
the semantics clearly.
Fortunately, there are only two instances outside of prctl() code.
(D) Adds MMF_DISABLE_THP_EXCEPT_ADVISED to express "no THP except for VMAs
with VM_HUGEPAGE" -- essentially "thp=madvise" behavior
Fortunately, we only have to extend vma_thp_disabled().
(E) Indicates "THP_enabled: 0" in /proc/pid/status only if THPs are
disabled completely
Only indicating that THPs are disabled when they are really disabled
completely, not only partially.
For now, we don't add another interface to obtained whether THPs
are disabled partially (PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set). If
ever required, we could add a new entry.
The documented semantics in the man page for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE "is
inherited by a child created via fork(2) and is preserved across
execve(2)" is maintained. This behavior, for example, allows for
disabling THPs for a workload through the launching process (e.g., systemd
where we fork() a helper process to then exec()).
For now, MADV_COLLAPSE will *fail* in regions without VM_HUGEPAGE and
VM_NOHUGEPAGE. As MADV_COLLAPSE is a clear advise that user space thinks
a THP is a good idea, we'll enable that separately next (requiring a bit
of cleanup first).
There is currently not way to prevent that a process will not issue
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE itself to re-enable THP. There are not really known
users for re-enabling it, and it's against the purpose of the original
interface. So if ever required, we could investigate just forbidding to
re-enable them, or make this somehow configurable.

As part of the effort to move to mm->flags becoming a bitmap field,
convert existing users to making use of the mm_flags_*() accessors which
will, when the conversion is complete, be the only means of accessing
mm_struct flags.
No functional change intended.

We now need to account for flag initialisation on fork. We retain the
existing logic as much as we can, but dub the existing flag mask legacy.
These flags are therefore required to fit in the first 32-bits of the
flags field.
However, further flag propagation upon fork can be implemented in
mm_init() on a per-flag basis.
We ensure we clear the entire bitmap prior to setting it, and use
__mm_flags_get_word() and __mm_flags_set_word() to manipulate these legacy
fields efficiently.

Patch series "kho: fixes and cleanups", v3.
These are small KHO and KHO test fixes and cleanups.
This patch (of 3):
Parsing of kho_scratch parameter treats zero size as an invalid value,
although it should be fine for user to request zero sized scratch area for
some types if scratch memory, when for example there is no need to create
scratch area in the low memory.
Treat zero as a valid value for a scratch area size but reject kho_scratch
parameter that defines no scratch memory at all.

Goto-san reported confusing pgpromote statistics where the
pgpromote_success count significantly exceeded pgpromote_candidate.
On a system with three nodes (nodes 0-1: DRAM 4GB, node 2: NVDIMM 4GB):
# Enable demotion only
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled
numactl -m 0-1 memhog -r200 3500M >/dev/null &
pid=$!
sleep 2
numactl memhog -r100 2500M >/dev/null &
sleep 10
kill -9 $pid # terminate the 1st memhog
# Enable promotion
echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing
After a few seconds, we observeed `pgpromote_candidate < pgpromote_success`
$ grep -e pgpromote /proc/vmstat
pgpromote_success 2579
pgpromote_candidate 0
In this scenario, after terminating the first memhog, the conditions for
pgdat_free_space_enough() are quickly met, and triggers promotion.
However, these migrated pages are only counted for in PGPROMOTE_SUCCESS,
not in PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE.
To solve these confusing statistics, introduce PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE_NRL to
count the missed promotion pages. And also, not counting these pages into
PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE is to avoid changing the existing algorithm or
performance of the promotion rate limit.

rseq_need_restart() reads and clears task::rseq_event_mask with preemption
disabled to guard against the scheduler.
But membarrier() uses an IPI and sets the PREEMPT bit in the event mask
from the IPI, which leaves that RMW operation unprotected.
Use guard(irq) if CONFIG_MEMBARRIER is enabled to fix that.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request the use of
the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow
callers to transition their calls.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
All existing users have been updated accordingly.

system_unbound_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce

Adding system_dfl_wq to encourage its use when unbound work should be used.

Introduce new DMA mapping functions dma_map_phys() and dma_unmap_phys()
that operate directly on physical addresses instead of page+offset
parameters. This provides a more efficient interface for drivers that
already have physical addresses available.
The new functions are implemented as the primary mapping layer, with
the existing dma_map_page_attrs()/dma_map_resource() and
dma_unmap_page_attrs()/dma_unmap_resource() functions converted to simple
wrappers around the phys-based implementations.
In case dma_map_page_attrs(), the struct page is converted to physical
address with help of page_to_phys() function and dma_map_resource()
provides physical address as is together with addition of DMA_ATTR_MMIO
attribute.
The old page-based API is preserved in mapping.c to ensure that existing
code won't be affected by changing EXPORT_SYMBOL to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
variant for dma_*map_phys().

Make dma_map_page_attrs() and dma_map_page_attrs() respect
DMA_ATTR_MMIO.
DMA_ATR_MMIO makes the functions behave the same as
dma_(un)map_resource():
- No swiotlb is possible
- Legacy dma_ops arches use ops->map_resource()
- No kmsan
- No arch_dma_map_phys_direct()
The prior patches have made the internal functions called here
support DMA_ATTR_MMIO.
This is also preparation for turning dma_map_resource() into an inline
calling dma_map_phys(DMA_ATTR_MMIO) to consolidate the flows.

Convert the DMA direct mapping functions to accept physical addresses
directly instead of page+offset parameters. The functions were already
operating on physical addresses internally, so this change eliminates
the redundant page-to-physical conversion at the API boundary.
The functions dma_direct_map_page() and dma_direct_unmap_page() are
renamed to dma_direct_map_phys() and dma_direct_unmap_phys() respectively,
with their calling convention changed from (struct page *page,
unsigned long offset) to (phys_addr_t phys).
Architecture-specific functions arch_dma_map_page_direct() and
arch_dma_unmap_page_direct() are similarly renamed to
arch_dma_map_phys_direct() and arch_dma_unmap_phys_direct().
The is_pci_p2pdma_page() checks are replaced with DMA_ATTR_MMIO checks
to allow integration with dma_direct_map_resource and dma_direct_map_phys()
is extended to support MMIO path either.

Rename the IOMMU DMA mapping functions to better reflect their actual
calling convention. The functions iommu_dma_map_page() and
iommu_dma_unmap_page() are renamed to iommu_dma_map_phys() and
iommu_dma_unmap_phys() respectively, as they already operate on physical
addresses rather than page structures.
The calling convention changes from accepting (struct page *page,
unsigned long offset) to (phys_addr_t phys), which eliminates the need
for page-to-physical address conversion within the functions. This
renaming prepares for the broader DMA API conversion from page-based
to physical address-based mapping throughout the kernel.
All callers are updated to pass physical addresses directly, including
dma_map_page_attrs(), scatterlist mapping functions, and DMA page
allocation helpers. The change simplifies the code by removing the
page_to_phys() + offset calculation that was previously done inside
the IOMMU functions.

Convert the DMA debug infrastructure from page-based to physical address-based
mapping as a preparation to rely on physical address for DMA mapping routines.
The refactoring renames debug_dma_map_page() to debug_dma_map_phys() and
changes its signature to accept a phys_addr_t parameter instead of struct page
and offset. Similarly, debug_dma_unmap_page() becomes debug_dma_unmap_phys().
A new dma_debug_phy type is introduced to distinguish physical address mappings
from other debug entry types. All callers throughout the codebase are updated
to pass physical addresses directly, eliminating the need for page-to-physical
conversion in the debug layer.
This refactoring eliminates the need to convert between page pointers and
physical addresses in the debug layer, making the code more efficient and
consistent with the DMA mapping API's physical address focus.

arch_irqentry_exit_need_resched() in the need_resched()
condition of the generic raw_irqentry_exit_cond_resched(), with
a NOP default. This will allow ARM64 to implement the architecture

This shows that the skb allocated in audit_log_start() and queued

In audit_log_end(), each skb is dequeued from skb_list and passed
to __audit_log_end(). However, when the audit rate limit is exceeded,
__audit_log_end() simply prints "rate limit exceeded" and returns
without processing the skb. Since the skb is already removed from
skb_list, audit_buffer_free() cannot free it later, leading to a
memory leak.
Fix this by freeing the skb when the rate limit is exceeded.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN flag is kmalloc
As now __GFP_NOWARN is part of __GFP_NOWAIT, it can be removed from
kmalloc as it is redundant.
- Use copy_from_user_nofault() instead of _inatomic() for trace markers
The trace_marker files are written to to allow user space to quickly
write into the tracing ring buffer.
Back in 2016, the get_user_pages_fast() and the kmap() logic was
replaced by a __copy_from_user_inatomic(), but didn't properly
disable page faults around it.
Since the time this was added, copy_from_user_nofault() was added
which does the required page fault disabling for us.
- Fix the assembly markup in the ftrace direct sample code
The ftrace direct sample code (which is also used for selftests), had
the size directive between the "leave" and the "ret" instead of after
the ret. This caused objtool to think the code was unreachable.
- Only call unregister_pm_notifier() on outer most fgraph registration
There was an error path in register_ftrace_graph() that did not call
unregister_pm_notifier() on error, so it was added in the error path.
The problem with that fix, is that register_pm_notifier() is only
called by the initial user of fgraph. If that succeeds, but another
fgraph registration were to fail, then unregister_pm_notifier() would
be called incorrectly.
- Fix a crash in osnoise when zero size cpumask is passed in
If a zero size CPU mask is passed in, the kmalloc() would return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR which is not checked, and the code would continue
thinking it had real memory and crash. If zero is passed in as the
size of the write, simply return 0.
- Fix possible warning in trace_pid_write()
If while processing a series of numbers passed to the "set_event_pid"
file, and one of the updates fails to allocate (triggered by a fault
injection), it can cause a warning to trigger. Check the return value
of the call to trace_pid_list_set() and break out early with an error

Commit 12ffc3b1513e ("PM: Restrict swap use to later in the suspend
sequence") incorrectly removed a pm_restrict_gfp_mask() call from
hibernation_snapshot(), so memory allocations involving swap are not
prevented from being carried out in this code path any more which may
lead to serious breakage.
The symptoms of such breakage have become visible after adding a
shrink_shmem_memory() call to hibernation_snapshot() in commit
2640e819474f ("PM: hibernate: shrink shmem pages after dev_pm_ops.prepare()")
which caused this problem to be much more likely to manifest itself.
However, since commit 2640e819474f was initially present in the DRM
tree that did not include commit 12ffc3b1513e, the symptoms of this
issue were not visible until merge commit 260f6f4fda93 ("Merge tag
'drm-next-2025-07-30' of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/kernel")

to cgroup.procs
The static usage pattern of creating a cgroup, enabling controllers,
and then seeding it with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP doesn't require write
locking cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and thus doesn't benefit from this
patch.
To avoid affecting other users, the per threadgroup rwsem is only used
when the favordynmods is enabled.
As computer hardware advances, modern systems are typically equipped
with many CPU cores and large amounts of memory, enabling the deployment
of numerous applications. On such systems, container creation and
deletion become frequent operations, making cgroup process migration no
longer a cold path. This leads to noticeable contention with common
process operations such as fork, exec, and exit.
To alleviate the contention between cgroup process migration and
operations like process fork, this patch modifies lock to take the write
lock on signal_struct->group_rwsem when writing pid to
cgroup.procs/threads instead of holding a global write lock.
Cgroup process migration has historically relied on
signal_struct->group_rwsem to protect thread group integrity. In commit
<1ed1328792ff> ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem"), this was changed to a global
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem. The advantage of using a global lock was
simplified handling of process group migrations. This patch retains the
use of the global lock for protecting process group migration, while
reducing contention by using per thread group lock during
cgroup.procs/threads writes.
The locking behavior is as follows:
write cgroup.procs/threads | process fork,exec,exit | process group migration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgroup_lock() | down_read(&g_rwsem) | cgroup_lock()
down_write(&p_rwsem) | down_read(&p_rwsem) | down_write(&g_rwsem)
critical section | critical section | critical section
up_write(&p_rwsem) | up_read(&p_rwsem) | up_write(&g_rwsem)
cgroup_unlock() | up_read(&g_rwsem) | cgroup_unlock()
g_rwsem denotes cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem, p_rwsem denotes
signal_struct->group_rwsem.
This patch eliminates contention between cgroup migration and fork
operations for threads that belong to different thread groups, thereby
reducing the long-tail latency of cgroup migrations and lowering system
load.
With this patch, under heavy fork and exec interference, the long-tail
latency of cgroup migration has been reduced from milliseconds to
microseconds. Under heavy cgroup migration interference, the multi-CPU
score of the spawn test case in UnixBench increased by 9%.
tj: Update comment in cgroup_favor_dynmods() and switch WARN_ONCE() to
pr_warn_once().

Later patches will introduce a new parameter `task` to
cgroup_attach_lock, thus adjusting the position of cgroup_attach_lock
within cgroup_procs_write_start.
Between obtaining the threadgroup leader via PID and acquiring the
cgroup attach lock, the threadgroup leader may change, which could lead
to incorrect cgroup migration. Therefore, after acquiring the cgroup
attach lock, we check whether the threadgroup leader has changed, and if
so, retry the operation.
tj: Minor comment adjustments.

Dynamic cgroup migration involving threadgroup locks can be in one of
two states: no lock held, or holding the global lock. Explicitly
declaring the different lock modes to make the code easier to
understand and facilitates future extensions of the lock modes.
