Pull Kselftest fixes from Shuah Khan:
 "Important fixes to several tests and documentation clarification on
  running mainline kselftest on stable releases. A few notable fixes:

   - fix kselftest run hang due to child processes that haven't been
     terminated. Fix signals all child processes

   - fix false pass/fail results from vdso_test_abi, openat2, mincore

   - build failures when using -j (multiple jobs) option

   - exec test build failure due to incorrect build rule for a run-time
     created "pipe"

   - zram test fixes related to interaction with zram-generator to make
     sure zram test to coordinate deleted with zram-generator

   - zram test compression ratio calculation fix and skipping
     max_comp_streams.

   - increasing rtc test timeout

   - cpufreq test to write test results to stdout which will necessary
     on automated test systems"

      printk: Fix incorrect __user type in proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin() · 1f2cfdd3
      Mickaël Salaün authored 
      The move of proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin() from kernel/sysctl.c to
kernel/printk/sysctl.c introduced an incorrect __user attribute to the
buffer argument.  I spotted this change in [1] as well as the kernel
test robot.  Revert this change to please sparse:

  kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
  kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51:    expected void *
  kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51:    got void [noderef] __user *buffer

      Revert "module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is used" · 67d6212a
      Igor Pylypiv authored 
      This reverts commit 774a1221.

We need to finish all async code before the module init sequence is
done.  In the reverted commit the PF_USED_ASYNC flag was added to mark a
thread that called async_schedule().  Then the PF_USED_ASYNC flag was
used to determine whether or not async_synchronize_full() needs to be
invoked.  This works when modprobe thread is calling async_schedule(),
but it does not work if module dispatches init code to a worker thread
which then calls async_schedule().

For example, PCI driver probing is invoked from a worker thread based on
a node where device is attached:

	if (cpu < nr_cpu_ids)
		error = work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, &ddi);
	else
		error = local_pci_probe(&ddi);

We end up in a situation where a worker thread gets the PF_USED_ASYNC
flag set instead of the modprobe thread.  As a result,
async_synchronize_full() is not invoked and modprobe completes without
waiting for the async code to finish.

The issue was discovered while loading the pm80xx driver:
(scsi_mod.scan=async)

modprobe pm80xx                      worker
...
  do_init_module()
  ...
    pci_call_probe()
      work_on_cpu(local_pci_probe)
                                     local_pci_probe()
                                       pm8001_pci_probe()
                                         scsi_scan_host()
                                           async_schedule()
                                           worker->flags |= PF_USED_ASYNC;
                                     ...
      < return from worker >
  ...
  if (current->flags & PF_USED_ASYNC) <--- false
  	async_synchronize_full();

Commit 21c3c5d2 ("block: don't request module during elevator init")
fixed the deadlock issue which the reverted commit 774a1221
("module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is
used") tried to fix.

Since commit 0fdff3ec ("async, kmod: warn on synchronous
request_module() from async workers") synchronous module loading from
async is not allowed.

Given that the original deadlock issue is fixed and it is no longer
allowed to call synchronous request_module() from async we can remove
PF_USED_ASYNC flag to make module init consistently invoke
async_synchronize_full() unless async module probe is requested.

      cgroup/cpuset: Fix "suspicious RCU usage" lockdep warning · 2bdfd282
      Waiman Long authored 
      It was found that a "suspicious RCU usage" lockdep warning was issued
with the rcu_read_lock() call in update_sibling_cpumasks().  It is
because the update_cpumasks_hier() function may sleep. So we have
to release the RCU lock, call update_cpumasks_hier() and reacquire
it afterward.

Also add a percpu_rwsem_assert_held() in update_sibling_cpumasks()
instead of stating that in the comment.

      Revert "mm/gup: small refactoring: simplify try_grab_page()" · c36c04c2
      John Hubbard authored 
      This reverts commit 54d516b1

That commit did a refactoring that effectively combined fast and slow
gup paths (again).  And that was again incorrect, for two reasons:

 a) Fast gup and slow gup get reference counts on pages in different
    ways and with different goals: see Linus' writeup in commit
    cd1adf1b ("Revert "mm/gup: remove try_get_page(), call
    try_get_compound_head() directly""), and

 b) try_grab_compound_head() also has a specific check for
    "FOLL_LONGTERM && !is_pinned(page)", that assumes that the caller
    can fall back to slow gup. This resulted in new failures, as
    recently report by Will McVicker [1].

But (a) has problems too, even though they may not have been reported
yet.  So just revert this.
