On GCC 12, the build fails due to a possible truncated string:

    check.c: In function 'validate_call':
    check.c:2865:58: error: '%d' directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 10 bytes into a region of size 9 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
     2865 |                 snprintf(pvname, sizeof(pvname), "pv_ops[%d]", idx);
          |                                                          ^~

In theory it's a valid bug:

    static char pvname[16];
    int idx;
    ...
    idx = (rel-&gt;addend / sizeof(void *));
    snprintf(pvname, sizeof(pvname), "pv_ops[%d]", idx);

There are only 7 chars for %d while it could take up to 9, so the
printed "pv_ops[%d]" string could get truncated.

In reality the bug should never happen, because pv_ops only has ~80
entries, so 7 chars for the integer is more than enough.  Still, it's
worth fixing.  Bump the buffer size by 2 bytes to silence the warning.

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
  which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
  along the way.

  The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
  that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
  complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
  userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
  to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
  architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
  the stack.

  Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
  are the big successes for dead code removal this round.

  A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
  reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
  simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
  they were fixing.

  There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
  dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
  something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
  rebasing.

  Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
  to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
  struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
  pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
  flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
  removed. Issues where task-&gt;exit_code was examined with
  signal-&gt;group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.

  There are several loosely related changes included because I am
  cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

  The original postings of these changes can be found at:
     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87a6ha4zsd.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org
     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87bl1kunjj.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org
     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87r19opkx1.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org

  I trimmed back the last set of changes to only the obviously correct
  once. Simply because there was less time for review than I had hoped"

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Get rid of all the .fixup sections because this generates
   misleading/wrong stacktraces and confuse RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and
   LIVEPATCH as the backtrace misses the function which is being fixed
   up.

 - Add Straight Line Speculation mitigation support which uses a new
   compiler switch -mharden-sls= which sticks an INT3 after a RET or an
   indirect branch in order to block speculation after them. Reportedly,
   CPUs do speculate behind such insns.

 - The usual set of cleanups and improvements

Recently the kbuild robot reported two new errors:

&gt;&gt; lib/kunit/kunit-example-test.o: warning: objtool: .text.unlikely: unexpected end of section
&gt;&gt; arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.o: warning: objtool: oops_end() falls through to next function show_opcodes()

I don't know why they did not occur in my test setup but after digging
it I realized I had accidentally dropped a comma in
tools/objtool/check.c when I renamed rewind_stack_do_exit to
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

Add that comma back to fix objtool errors.

Update complete_and_exit to call kthread_exit instead of do_exit.

Change the name to reflect this change in functionality.  All of the
users of complete_and_exit are causing the current kthread to exit so
this change makes it clear what is happening.

Move the implementation of kthread_complete_and_exit from
kernel/exit.c to to kernel/kthread.c.  As this function is kthread
specific it makes most sense to live with the kthread functions.

There are no functional change.

The way the per task_struct exit_code is used by kernel threads is not
quite compatible how it is used by userspace applications.  The low
byte of the userspace exit_code value encodes the exit signal.  While
kthreads just use the value as an int holding ordinary kernel function
exit status like -EPERM.

Add kthread_exit to clearly separate the two kinds of uses.

<content type='text'>
There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

<content type='text'>
Teach objtool to turn instrumentation required for memory barrier
modeling into nops in noinstr text.

The __tsan_func_entry/exit calls are still emitted by compilers even
with the __no_sanitize_thread attribute. The memory barrier
instrumentation will be inserted explicitly (without compiler help), and
thus needs to also explicitly be removed.
