Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix use-after-free in eventfs_remove_rec()
The freeing of the eventfs_inode children used list_for_each_entry()
where the child is freed via srcu, but there's still a chance that it
gets freed. It should be using list_for_each_entry_safe().
- Fix eventfs_inode SRCU use of list in freeing
The iterator uses an SRCU protected list walk on the eventfs inodes.
The eventfs inode uses its "list" field in a union with the RCU list
head. When the inode gets added to the SRCU list it immediately
corrupts the list pointer and can cause an issue with the iterator.
Move the RCU list head to be shared with the children list head which
allows the iterator to check the parent inode if is freed before
referencing the child. Have the iterator check the parent "is_freed"

ring-buffer: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop()
In test_ringbuffer()'s out_free cleanup loop, the check
`!rb_threads[cpu]` only catches NULL entries and misses entries that
hold an ERR_PTR.
rb_threads[] is static, so unassigned slots are NULL. But when
kthread_run_on_cpu() fails for a cpu, it stores ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) (or
-EINTR) in rb_threads[cpu] before the creation loop jumps to out_free.
That entry is non-NULL, so the old `!ptr` check does not break, and the
cleanup proceeds to call kthread_stop() on the ERR_PTR. kthread_stop()
then dereferences the bogus pointer, crashing the kernel during the
late_initcall self-test.
crash logs:

ring-buffer: Initialise reader page order in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer()
In rb_allocate_cpu_buffer(), bpage->order was omitted, leaving it as 0.
This is an issue for a ring-buffer with subbufs bigger than PAGE_SIZE if

ftrace: Fix off-by-one fentry site disable in ftrace_free_mem()
When a module's init text is freed, do_init_module() calls
ftrace_free_mem() with a half-open [start, end) range. However the
ftrace_cmp_recs() comparator treats the upper bound as inclusive, as all
its other users do, passing 'ip + size - 1'. So ftrace_free_mem() can
delete a record sitting exactly at 'end', which is outside the freed
range.
For a kernel without CFI or IBT, the first record of a function is at
the function start, which for the first function in a module is also the
base of its text allocation. As the module allocator packs its regions,
that address is often the 'end' passed by a neighboring module's
do_init_module(), causing the first function's ftrace location to get
disabled, preventing an attempt to livepatch it:
livepatch: failed to find location for function 'pcspkr_probe'
Convert the exclusive end to the inclusive 'end - 1' the comparator

ring-buffer: Use current_context for safe per-CPU buffer swap
The ring_buffer_swap_cpu() function currently checks the per-CPU

this check can be bypassed:
ring_buffer_lock_reserve
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // cpu_buffer_a
rb_reserve_next_event
rb_start_commit // inc committing
if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer->buffer) != buffer)) {...}

rb_move_tail
rb_end_commit(cpu_buffer); // dec committing => 0
/* interrupt hits here, successfully swaps! */

eventfs: Use children field for rcu head and add memory barriers
When an eventfs inode is freed, it sets ei->is_freed and then uses its
ei->list to add it to the srcu link list as the list field is a union with
the rcu list head. As the ei->list is used to iterate over an SRCU
protected list without taking the eventfs_mutex, there's nothing stopping
the iteration over that list to see the ei->rcu instead of the ei->list
and it will read a corrupt target.
To fix this, change the union of the rcu list head with the children list.
On freeing the eventfs inode, set the is_free and execute a smp_wmb()
before adding the eventfs inode to the SRCU list.
On iteration of the ei->children list, at the start, execute a smp_rmb()
and then read the is_freed of the ei to see if the children list is still
valid. If is_freed is set, then the ei_child read is not valid and the
loop should exit immediately.

eventfs: Fix use-after-free in eventfs_remove_rec()
eventfs_remove_rec() recursively removes the child at the current loop
position. After the recursive call returns, list_for_each_entry() advances
by reading list.next from the removed child.
If free_ei() drops the final reference, release_ei() reuses the list/rcu
union to queue an SRCU callback. The child may be freed before that read.
The eventfs_mutex serializes list updates, but it does not keep the removed
child alive or prevent the SRCU callback from running.
Use list_for_each_entry_safe() to save the next sibling before recursively
removing the current child.

fbdev: core: Fix pointer desynchronization in fb_io_read()
In fb_io_read(), if copy_to_user() performs a partial copy (e.g., due to
a faulty user buffer), the loop adjusts the chunk size 'c' and updates
the remaining 'count'. However, the hardware 'src' pointer has already
been eagerly advanced by the original chunk size.
If the loop is allowed to continue, the read will resume from an
incorrect, over-advanced offset. Since the remaining 'count' was only
decremented by the successful bytes, this desynchronization causes the
next iterations to execute more hardware reads than originally bounded,
eventually leading to out-of-bounds I/O reads.
Fix this by breaking out of the loop immediately upon a partial
copy_to_user(). A partial copy indicates a faulty user buffer, making
subsequent read attempts futile. Breaking out ensures we return the
number of successfully read bytes without risking out-of-bounds hardware
accesses in subsequent mismatched iterations.

fbdev: bound mode sysfs output to the sysfs buffer
mode_string() uses snprintf() which can return a value larger than the
remaining buffer space. show_modes() accumulates the return value into i
without checking whether i has reached PAGE_SIZE, causing the offset to
advance past the sysfs buffer if the modelist is long enough.
Add a size parameter to mode_string() and use scnprintf() to return
only the bytes actually written. Add an early return when offset
already exceeds the buffer. In show_modes(), stop accumulating once
the buffer is full.

c = scr_readw(vc_pos);

where charmask is 0x1ff when vc_hi_font_mask is set. The screen buffer
value comes directly from scr_readw() and may be larger than the current
font's glyph count.
Syzkaller triggers this via vcs_write(). The Call Trace shows
vcs_write() in vc_screen.c writing an arbitrary 16-bit value with
writev() to /dev/vcsa, which vcs_write_buf() in vc_screen.c stores via
vcs_scr_writew() without checking charcount. The stored value is later
read in bit_cursor() in bitblit.c.

fbdev: serialize mode sysfs access with lock_fb_info()
show_mode(), show_modes(), and store_mode() access fb_info->modelist
and fb_info->mode without holding lock_fb_info(). store_modes() takes

A concurrent reader or writer can load a pointer to an old modelist
entry before store_modes() frees it, then dereference freed memory or
store a stale freed pointer in fb_info->mode.
Take lock_fb_info() in show_mode(), show_modes(), and store_mode() to

stack and format after dropping the lock. In store_mode(), split
activate() into a _locked variant to avoid double-locking, and hold
