[ Upstream commit 6680c162b4850976ee52b57372eddc4450c1d074 ]

test_cgcore_populated (test_core) and test_cgkill_{simple,tree,forkbomb}
(test_kill) check cgroup.events "populated 0" immediately after reaping
child tasks with waitpid(). This used to work because cgroup_task_exit() in
do_exit() unlinked tasks from css_sets before exit_notify() woke up
waitpid().

d245698d727a ("cgroup: Defer task cgroup unlink until after the task is done
switching out") moved the unlink to cgroup_task_dead() in
finish_task_switch(), which runs after exit_notify(). The populated counter
is now decremented after the parent's waitpid() can return, so there is no
longer a synchronous ordering guarantee. On PREEMPT_RT, where
cgroup_task_dead() is further deferred through lazy irq_work, the race
window is even larger.

The synchronous populated transition was never part of the cgroup interface
contract - it was an implementation artifact. Use cg_read_strcmp_wait() which
retries for up to 1 second, matching what these tests actually need to
verify: that the cgroup eventually becomes unpopulated after all tasks exit.

Fixes: d245698d727a ("cgroup: Defer task cgroup unlink until after the task is done switching out")

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko)
   fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c

 - "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight)
   enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up
   the test module for these library functions

 - "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB" (Ilya Leoshkevich)
   makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB
   debugger

 - "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on demand" (Feng Tang)
   adds a sysctl which can be used to cause additional info dumping when
   the hung-task and lockup detectors fire

 - "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users" (Kuan-Wei Chiu)
   adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/ and migrates several
   users away from their private implementations

 - "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" (Eric Dumazet)
   makes TCP a little faster

 - "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin)
   reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update
   Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients

 - "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
   increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

 - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
   is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
   cover letter:

      This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
      subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
      kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
      environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
      downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
      preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
      devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

      As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
      memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
      as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
      RAM across the kexec reboot.

   Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
   testing work.

 - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
   moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
   /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
   hopefully be removed one day

 - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
   fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
   regions

<id>urn:sha1:e6fbd1759c9ece5044d3470f30a5e2166dc9de89</id>
<content type='text'>
This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and
ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all
relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in
lib.mk

Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on
riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

<title>selftests: cgroup: skip test_cgcore_lesser_ns_open when cgroup2 mounted without nsdelegate</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4793cb599b1bdc3d356f0374c2c99ffe890ae876</id>
<content type='text'>
The test case test_cgcore_lesser_ns_open only tasks effect when cgroup2
is mounted with "nsdelegate" mount option. If it misses this option, or
is remounted without "nsdelegate", the test case will fail. For example,
running bpf/test_cgroup_storage first, and then run cgroup/test_core will
fail on test_cgcore_lesser_ns_open. Skip it if "nsdelegate" is not
detected in cgroup2 mount options.
