Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman: "While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I found several instances where the code is not using the existing abstractions properly. This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of the existing abstractions that I found. A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL). In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build." * 'exit-cleanups-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (23 commits) soc: ti: fix wkup_m3_rproc_boot_thread return type signal: Add SA_IMMUTABLE to ensure forced siganls do not get changed signal: Replace force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) with force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV) exit/r8188eu: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 exit/rtl8712: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 exit/rtl8723bs: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0 signal/x86: In emulate_vsyscall force a signal instead of calling do_exit signal/sparc32: In setup_rt_frame and setup_fram use force_fatal_sig signal/sparc32: Exit with a fatal signal when try_to_clear_window_buffer fails exit/syscall_user_dispatch: Send ordinary signals on failure signal: Implement force_fatal_sig exit/kthread: Have kernel threads return instead of calling do_exit signal/s390: Use force_sigsegv in default_trap_handler signal/vm86_32: Properly send SIGSEGV when the vm86 state cannot be saved. signal/vm86_32: Replace open coded BUG_ON with an actual BUG_ON signal/sparc: In setup_tsb_params convert open coded BUG into BUG signal/powerpc: On swapcontext failure force SIGSEGV signal/sh: Use force_sig(SIGKILL) instead of do_group_exit(SIGKILL) signal/mips: Update (_save|_restore)_fp_context to fail with -EFAULT signal/sparc32: Remove unreachable do_exit in do_sparc_fault ...

With enabled threaded interrupts the nouveau driver reported the
following:
| Chain exists of:
| &mm->mmap_lock#2 --> &device->mutex --> &cpuset_rwsem
|
| Possible unsafe locking scenario:
|
| CPU0 CPU1
| ---- ----
| lock(&cpuset_rwsem);
| lock(&device->mutex);
| lock(&cpuset_rwsem);
| lock(&mm->mmap_lock#2);
The device->mutex is nvkm_device::mutex.
Unblocking the lockchain at `cpuset_rwsem' is probably the easiest
thing to do. Move the priority reset to the start of the newly
created thread.

kthread_mod_delayed_work() might race with kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() or another kthread_mod_delayed_work() call. The function lets the other operation win when it sees work->canceling counter set. And it returns @false. But it should return @true as it is done by the related workqueue API, see mod_delayed_work_on(). The reason is that the return value might be used for reference counting. It has to distinguish the case when the number of queued works has changed or stayed the same. The change is safe. kthread_mod_delayed_work() return value is not checked anywhere at the moment.

Pull scheduler udpates from Ingo Molnar:
- Changes to core scheduling facilities:
- Add "Core Scheduling" via CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=y, which enables
coordinated scheduling across SMT siblings. This is a much
requested feature for cloud computing platforms, to allow the
flexible utilization of SMT siblings, without exposing untrusted
domains to information leaks & side channels, plus to ensure more
deterministic computing performance on SMT systems used by
heterogenous workloads.
There are new prctls to set core scheduling groups, which allows
more flexible management of workloads that can share siblings.
- Fix task->state access anti-patterns that may result in missed
wakeups and rename it to ->__state in the process to catch new
abuses.
- Load-balancing changes:
- Tweak newidle_balance for fair-sched, to improve 'memcache'-like
workloads.
- "Age" (decay) average idle time, to better track & improve
workloads such as 'tbench'.
- Fix & improve energy-aware (EAS) balancing logic & metrics.
- Fix & improve the uclamp metrics.
- Fix task migration (taskset) corner case on !CONFIG_CPUSET.
- Fix RT and deadline utilization tracking across policy changes
- Introduce a "burstable" CFS controller via cgroups, which allows
bursty CPU-bound workloads to borrow a bit against their future
quota to improve overall latencies & batching. Can be tweaked via
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/<X>/cpu.cfs_burst_us.
- Rework assymetric topology/capacity detection & handling.
- Scheduler statistics & tooling:
- Disable delayacct by default, but add a sysctl to enable it at
runtime if tooling needs it. Use static keys and other
optimizations to make it more palatable.
- Use sched_clock() in delayacct, instead of ktime_get_ns().
- Misc cleanups and fixes.

It is caused by the following race between kthread_mod_delayed_work()
and kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync():
CPU0 CPU1

kthread_mod_delayed_work()
spin_lock()
__kthread_cancel_work()
spin_unlock()
del_timer_sync()
kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()

queue_delayed_work()
// dwork is put into the worker->delayed_work_list
spin_unlock()
kthread_flush_work()
// flush_work is put at the tail of the dwork
wait_for_completion()
Context: IRQ
kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
spin_lock()
list_del_init(&work->node);
spin_unlock()
BANG: flush_work is not longer linked and will never get proceed.
The problem is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() checks work->canceling
flag before canceling the timer.
A simple solution is to (re)check work->canceling after
__kthread_cancel_work(). But then it is not clear what should be
returned when __kthread_cancel_work() removed the work from the queue
(list) and it can't queue it again with the new @delay.
The return value might be used for reference counting. The caller has
to know whether a new work has been queued or an existing one was
replaced.
The proper solution is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() will remove the
work from the queue (list) _only_ when work->canceling is not set. The
flag must be checked after the timer is stopped and the remaining
operations can be done under worker->lock.
Note that kthread_mod_delayed_work() could remove the timer and then
bail out. It is fine. The other canceling caller needs to cancel the
timer as well. The important thing is that the queue (list)
manipulation is done atomically under worker->lock.

For all intents and purposes, the idle task is a per-CPU kthread. It isn't created via the same route as other pcpu kthreads however, and as a result it is missing a few bells and whistles: it fails kthread_is_per_cpu() and it doesn't have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set. Fix the former by giving the idle task a kthread struct along with the KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU flag. This requires some extra iffery as init_idle() call be called more than once on the same idle task.
