* tag 'printk-for-6.6-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
printk: flush consoles before checking progress
The verifier, as part of check_return_code(), verifies that async
callbacks such as from e.g. timers, will return 0. It does this by
correctly checking that R0->var_off is in tnum_const(0), which
effectively checks that it's in a range of 0. If this condition fails,
however, it prints an error message which says that the value should
have been in (0x0; 0x1). This results in possibly confusing output such
as the following in which an async callback returns 1:
At async callback the register R0 has value (0x1; 0x0) should have been in (0x0; 0x1)
The fix is easy -- we should just pass the tnum_const(0) as the correct
range to verbose_invalid_scalar(), which will then print the following:
At async callback the register R0 has value (0x1; 0x0) should have been in (0x0; 0x0)

Commit 9e70a5e109 ("printk: Add per-console suspended state")
removed console lock usage during resume and replaced it with
the clearly defined console_list_lock and srcu mechanisms.
However, the console lock usage had an important side-effect
of flushing the consoles. After its removal, consoles were no
longer flushed before checking their progress.
Add the console_lock/console_unlock dance to the beginning
of __pr_flush() to actually flush the consoles before checking
their progress. Also add comments to clarify this additional
usage of the console lock.
Note that console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing all messages
since the commit dbdda842fe ("printk: Add console owner and waiter
logic to load balance console writes").

The recently added tcx attachment extended the BPF UAPI for attaching and
detaching by a couple of fields. Those fields are currently only supported
for tcx, other types like cgroups and flow dissector silently ignore the
new fields except for the new flags.
This is problematic once we extend bpf_mprog to older attachment types, since
it's hard to figure out whether the syscall really was successful if the
kernel silently ignores non-zero values.
Explicitly reject non-zero fields relevant to bpf_mprog for attachment types
which don't use the latter yet.

Improve consistency for bpf_mprog_query() API and let the latter also handle
a NULL entry as can be the case for tcx. Instead of returning -ENOENT, we
copy a count of 0 and revision of 1 to user space, so that this can be fed

While working on the ebpf-go [0] library integration for bpf_mprog and tcx,
Lorenz noticed that two subsequent BPF_PROG_QUERY requests currently fail. A
typical workflow is to first gather the bpf_mprog count without passing program/
link arrays, followed by the second request which contains the actual array
pointers.
The initial call populates count and revision fields. The second call gets
rejected due to a BPF_PROG_QUERY_LAST_FIELD bug which should point to
query.revision instead of query.link_attach_flags since the former is really
the last member.
It was not noticed in libbpf as bpf_prog_query_opts() always calls bpf(2) with
an on-stack bpf_attr that is memset() each time (and therefore query.revision
was reset to zero).

PM: hibernate: Fix copying the zero bitmap to safe pages
When cpufreq's policy is 'single', there is a scenario that will
cause sg_policy's next_freq to be unable to update.
When the CPU's util is always max, the cpufreq will be max,
and then if we change the policy's scaling_max_freq to be a
lower freq, indeed, the sg_policy's next_freq need change to
be the lower freq, however, because the cpu_is_busy, the next_freq
would keep the max_freq.
For example:
The cpu7 is a single CPU:
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # while true;do done& [1] 4737
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # taskset -p 80 4737
pid 4737's current affinity mask: ff
pid 4737's new affinity mask: 80
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
2301000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_cur_freq
2301000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # echo 2171000 > scaling_max_freq
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
2171000
At this time, the sg_policy's next_freq would stay at 2301000, which
is wrong.
To fix this, add a check for the ->need_freq_update flag.

The commit being fixed introduced a bug in copying the zero bitmap
to safe pages. A temporary bitmap is allocated with PG_ANY flag in
prepare_image() to make a copy of zero bitmap after the unsafe pages
are marked. Freeing this temporary bitmap with PG_UNSAFE_KEEP later
results in an inconsistent state of unsafe pages. Since free bit is
left as is for this temporary bitmap after free, these pages are
treated as unsafe pages when they are allocated again. This results
in incorrect calculation of the number of pages pre-allocated for the
image.
nr_pages = (nr_zero_pages + nr_copy_pages) - nr_highmem - allocated_unsafe_pages;
The allocate_unsafe_pages is estimated to be higher than the actual
which results in running short of pages in safe_pages_list. Hence the
crash is observed in get_buffer() due to NULL pointer access of
safe_pages_list.
Fix this issue by creating the temporary zero bitmap from safe pages
(free bit not set) so that the corresponding free bits can be cleared
while freeing this bitmap.

The expectation is that placing a task at avg_vruntime() makes it
eligible. Turns out there is a corner case where this is not the case.
Specifically, avg_vruntime() relies on the fact that integer division
is a flooring function (eg. it discards the remainder). By this
property the value returned is slightly left of the true average.
However! when the average is a negative (relative to min_vruntime) the
effect is flipped and it becomes a ceil, with the result that the
returned value is just right of the average and thus not eligible.

- Add cond_resched in the loop that handles converting enums in

- Fix premature wake ups of polling processes in the tracing ring
buffer. When a task polls waiting for a percentage of the ring buffer
to be filled, the writer still will wake it up at every event. Add
the polling's percentage to the "shortest_full" list to tell the
writer when to wake it up.
- For eventfs dir lookups on dynamic events, an event system's only
event could be removed, leaving its dentry with no children. This is
totally legitimate. But in eventfs_release() it must not access the
children array, as it is only allocated when the dentry has children.

All architectures should use a long aligned address passed to set_bit().
User processes can pass either a 32-bit or 64-bit sized value to be
updated when tracing is enabled when on a 64-bit kernel. Both cases are
ensured to be naturally aligned, however, that is not enough. The
address must be long aligned without affecting checks on the value
within the user process which require different adjustments for the bit
for little and big endian CPUs.
Add a compat flag to user_event_enabler that indicates when a 32-bit
value is being used on a 64-bit kernel. Long align addresses and correct
the bit to be used by set_bit() to account for this alignment. Ensure
compat flags are copied during forks and used during deletion clears.

When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func()
(which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its
complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another
CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the
eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue
before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP
system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed
clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We
observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing
eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task.
Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows
other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously
like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.

It was discovered that the ring buffer polling was incorrectly stating
that read would not block, but that's because polling did not take into
account that reads will block if the "buffer-percent" was set. Instead,
the ring buffer polling would say reads would not block if there was any
data in the ring buffer. This was incorrect behavior from a user space
point of view. This was fixed by commit 42fb0a1e84 by having the polling
code check if the ring buffer had more data than what the user specified
"buffer percent" had.
The problem now is that the polling code did not register itself to the
writer that it wanted to wait for a specific "full" value of the ring
buffer. The result was that the writer would wake the polling waiter
whenever there was a new event. The polling waiter would then wake up, see
that there's not enough data in the ring buffer to notify user space and
then go back to sleep. The next event would wake it up again.
Before the polling fix was added, the code would wake up around 100 times
for a hackbench 30 benchmark. After the "fix", due to the constant waking
of the writer, it would wake up over 11,0000 times! It would never leave
the kernel, so the user space behavior was still "correct", but this
definitely is not the desired effect.
To fix this, have the polling code add what it's waiting for to the
"shortest_full" variable, to tell the writer not to wake it up if the
buffer is not as full as it expects to be.
Note, after this fix, it appears that the waiter is now woken up around 2x
the times it was before (~200). This is a tremendous improvement from the
11,000 times, but I will need to spend some time to see why polling is
more aggressive in its wakeups than the read blocking code.
