x86/MCE/AMD: Fix inverted interrupt enablement during storm handling
mce_amd_handle_storm() currently does the opposite of what storm
handling needs: it enables thresholding interrupts when a storm is
detected and disables them when the storm subsides.
Flip the "on" function argument before passing it to threshold_restart_bank()
as it should have been done.
To clarify: "on" to mce_handle_storm() means, the storm is on now when
"on" is true, and off when "on" is false.

x86/amd_node: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
amd_smn_read/write() are exported functions around __amd_smn_rw(), so
they are always available even if amd_smn_init() fails. In that case,
'amd_roots' is NULL and __amd_smn_rw() will access uninitialized memory.
Then, commit:
83518453074d ("x86/amd_node: Add SMN offsets to exclusive region access")

pci_request_config_region_exclusive() succeeded, to prevent

Pull configfs fixes from Breno Leitao:
- A symlink racing with rmdir of its target could reach a freed
->ci_dentry.
The reference that get_target() takes pins the config_item, not
its dentry; the dentry is pinned by DCACHE_PERSISTENT, which
configfs_remove_dir() drops while the item is still alive.
Take the target's configfs_dirent under ->d_lock instead of chasing
->ci_dentry.
- configfs_rmdir() left the dentry hashed across the final put of the
item, and configfs_get_config_item() treats a hashed dentry as proof
of a live item. A concurrent symlink could therefore resurrect a
dying item and hit a use-after-free.

configfs: unhash the dentry before dropping the item in rmdir
configfs_get_config_item() treats a hashed dentry as proof that
sd->s_element is a live config_item. configfs_rmdir() breaks that:
simple_rmdir() leaves the dentry hashed, the last reference to the item is
dropped right after, and the dentry is only unhashed by d_delete() once
->rmdir() has returned. configfs_symlink() resolves its target holding no
lock on it, so get_target() can land in that window:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in config_item_get+0x26/0x90
get_target fs/configfs/symlink.c:128 [inline]
configfs_symlink+0x4ab/0x1030 fs/configfs/symlink.c:185
Unhash in configfs_remove_dir(), while the item is still guaranteed to be
there. A reference obtained just before that stays harmless, as
create_link() rechecks CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING, already set by
configfs_detach_prep(). Both configfs_unregister_subsystem() paths
d_drop() after detaching, so this only makes rmdir match them.
[9 lines not shown]
configfs: pin the symlink target's dirent instead of chasing ->ci_dentry
create_link() reads the target's configfs_dirent from
item->ci_dentry->d_fsdata, relying on the item reference taken by
get_target(). That reference pins the item, not its dentry: the dentry is
pinned by DCACHE_PERSISTENT, which configfs_remove_dir() releases via
simple_rmdir() while the item is still alive. A symlink racing with rmdir
of its target can therefore find ->ci_dentry freed and its dirent
released, triggering WARN_ON(!atomic_read(&sd->s_count)) in configfs_get().
Take the dirent in get_target() as well, under ->d_lock and atomically
with the item reference, and pass it down to create_link(). A hashed
dentry has not been killed yet, so its ->d_fsdata reference keeps the
dirent alive there.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix several tracefs files that did not take the trace_array reference
A trace instance can be created and destroyed in the tracefs
"instances" directory via mkdir and rmdir respectively. The instance
is represented by a trace_array descriptor.
Most tracefs files pass the trace_array as the private data of the
inode to the open/read/write functions. Since there is no locking
between the time a task opens a file and the deletion of the instance
(and the freeing of the trace_array), each open needs to get a
reference to the trace_array and each close must remove it.
An instance can't be removed if there's any reference taken on its
trace_array. The open function uses trace_array_get() that takes a
lock (preventing removal of instances) and iterates the list of all

bpf, riscv: Make arena support depend on ZACAS
The arena range tree allocates its nodes with kmalloc_nolock() since
commit f8c67d8550ee ("bpf: Use kmalloc_nolock() in range tree").
kmalloc_nolock() requires slab caches with cmpxchg128 support
(__CMPXCHG_DOUBLE); on riscv cmpxchg128 is provided by the ZACAS
extension. On systems without ZACAS every arena map creation fails
with a misleading -ENOMEM.
Report the missing support instead: make bpf_jit_supports_arena()
return system_has_cmpxchg128() where it is defined, so arena map
creation fails with -EOPNOTSUPP on systems without ZACAS. The macro
is only defined when both CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZACAS and
CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZACAS are enabled, so guard it with #ifdef the
same way mm/slab.h consumes it, and reject arena otherwise. This
matches how arena BPF_CMPXCHG instructions are already gated on ZACAS
in bpf_jit_supports_insn().

selftests/bpf: Test pointer bpf_loop iteration count rejection
Add a verifier test that leaves the raw tracepoint context pointer in R1
when calling bpf_loop(). This is the smallest trigger for the incorrect
precision backtracking: it reuses an existing callback and needs no maps or
userspace setup.
Expect an ordinary scalar-type rejection. Without the verifier fix, the
test instead reaches precision backtracking and reports an internal
"backtracking misuse" error.

bpf: Reject non-scalar bpf_loop iteration counts
bpf_loop() declares its nr_loops argument as ARG_ANYTHING. Privileged
programs may pass pointer values to such arguments, so check_func_arg()
lets a pointer-valued R1 reach the helper-specific checks.
Since commit bb124da69c47 ("bpf: keep track of max number of bpf_loop
callback iterations"), the verifier marks R1 precise and reads its upper
bound to limit callback simulation. Precision backtracking only accepts
scalar registers, so passing a pointer instead triggers the "backtracking
misuse" verifier warning. Kernels with panic_on_warn enabled subsequently
panic.
Introduce ARG_SCALAR for helper arguments that only accept scalar values
and use it for bpf_loop() nr_loops. Generic helper argument validation then
rejects pointers before loop inlining and precision processing.
Fixes: bb124da69c47 ("bpf: keep track of max number of bpf_loop callback iterations")
