Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Fix ref count of trace_array in error path of histogram file open
Tracing instances have a ref count to keep them around while files
within their directories are open. This prevents them from being
deleted while they are used.
The histogram code had some files that needed to take the ref count
and that was added, but the error paths did not decrement the ref
counts. This caused the instances from ever being removed if a
histogram file failed to open due to some error"

The function event_{hist,hist_debug}_open() maintains the refcount of
'file->tr' and 'file' through tracing_open_file_tr(). However, it does
not roll back these counts on subsequent failure paths, resulting in a
refcount leak.
A very obvious case is that if the hist/hist_debug file belongs to a
specific instance, the refcount leak will prevent the deletion of that
instance, as it relies on the condition 'tr->ref == 1' within
__remove_instance().
Fix this by calling tracing_release_file_tr() on all failure paths in
event_{hist,hist_debug}_open() to correct the refcount.

The sched_clock_irqtime was defined as a static key in:

However, this change introduces a 'sleeping in atomic context' warning:

As analyzed by Dan, the affected code path is as follows:

A circular lock dependency splat has been seen involving down_trylock():
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.12.0-41.el10.s390x+debug
------------------------------------------------------
dd/32479 is trying to acquire lock:
0015a20accd0d4f8 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: down_trylock+0x26/0x90
but task is already holding lock:
000000017e461698 (&zone->lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: rmqueue_bulk+0xac/0x8f0
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> #4 (&zone->lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
-> #3 (hrtimer_bases.lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
-> #2 (&rq->__lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
-> #1 (&p->pi_lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
-> #0 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
The console_sem -> pi_lock dependency is due to calling try_to_wake_up()
while holding the console_sem raw_spinlock. This dependency can be broken
by using wake_q to do the wakeup instead of calling try_to_wake_up()
under the console_sem lock. This will also make the semaphore's
raw_spinlock become a terminal lock without taking any further locks
underneath it.
The hrtimer_bases.lock is a raw_spinlock while zone->lock is a
spinlock. The hrtimer_bases.lock -> zone->lock dependency happens via
the debug_objects_fill_pool() helper function in the debugobjects code.

Normally a raw_spinlock to spinlock dependency is not legitimate
and will be warned if CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING is enabled,
but debug_objects_fill_pool() is an exception as it explicitly
allows this dependency for non-PREEMPT_RT kernel without causing
PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING lockdep splat. As a result, this dependency is
legitimate and not a bug.
Anyway, semaphore is the only locking primitive left that is still
using try_to_wake_up() to do wakeup inside critical section, all the
other locking primitives had been migrated to use wake_q to do wakeup
outside of the critical section. It is also possible that there are
other circular locking dependencies involving printk/console_sem or
other existing/new semaphores lurking somewhere which may show up in
the future. Let just do the migration now to wake_q to avoid headache
like this.

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.

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->leaf_cfs_rq_list and rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list are added to the same
leaf list. Also, rq->tmp_alone_branch can be set to rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.
This adds a check `if (prev == &rq->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.

There is a fairly obvious race between perf_init_event() doing

Avoid by doing idr_alloc() on a NULL pointer to register the id, and

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()

already have replaced the value and there is no going back. ]

- Fix crash from bad histogram entry
An error path in the histogram creation could leave an entry in a

cause a u-a-f bug. This is fixed by restructuring the code so that
the histogram is consistent on failure and everything is cleaned up
appropriately.
- Fix fprobe self test
The fprobe self test relies on no function being attached by ftrace.
BPF programs can attach to functions via ftrace and systemd now does
so. This causes those functions to appear in the enabled_functions
list which holds all functions attached by ftrace. The selftest also
uses that file to see if functions are being connected correctly. It
counts the functions in the file, but if there's already functions in
the file, it fails. Instead, add the number of functions in the file
at the start of the test to all the calculations during the test.
- Fix potential division by zero of the function profiler stddev
The calculated divisor that calculates the standard deviation of the
function times can overflow. If the overflow happens to land on zero,
that can cause a division by zero. Check for zero from the
calculation before doing the division.
TODO: Catch when it ever overflows and report it accordingly. For
