BPF programs, such as LSM and sched_ext, would benefit from tags on
cgroups. One common practice to apply such tags is to set xattrs on
cgroupfs folders.
Introduce kfunc bpf_cgroup_read_xattr, which allows reading cgroup's
xattr.
Note that, we already have bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr. However, these
two APIs are not ideal for reading cgroupfs xattrs, because:
1) These two APIs only works in sleepable contexts;
2) There is no kfunc that matches current cgroup to cgroupfs dentry.
bpf_cgroup_read_xattr is generic and can be useful for many program
types. It is also safe, because it requires trusted or rcu protected
argument (KF_RCU). Therefore, we make it available to all program types.

Persist exit and coredump information independent of whether anyone
currently holds a pidfd for the struct pid.
The current scheme allocated pidfs dentries on-demand repeatedly.
This scheme is reaching it's limits as it makes it impossible to pin
information that needs to be available after the task has exited or
coredumped and that should not be lost simply because the pidfd got
closed temporarily. The next opener should still see the stashed
information.
This is also a prerequisite for supporting extended attributes on
pidfds to allow attaching meta information to them.
If someone opens a pidfd for a struct pid a pidfs dentry is allocated
and stashed in pid->stashed. Once the last pidfd for the struct pid is
closed the pidfs dentry is released and removed from pid->stashed.
So if 10 callers create a pidfs dentry for the same struct pid
sequentially, i.e., each closing the pidfd before the other creates a
new one then a new pidfs dentry is allocated every time.
Because multiple tasks acquiring and releasing a pidfd for the same
struct pid can race with each another a task may still find a valid
pidfs entry from the previous task in pid->stashed and reuse it. Or it
might find a dead dentry in there and fail to reuse it and so stashes a
new pidfs dentry. Multiple tasks may race to stash a new pidfs dentry
but only one will succeed, the other ones will put their dentry.
The current scheme aims to ensure that a pidfs dentry for a struct pid
can only be created if the task is still alive or if a pidfs dentry
already existed before the task was reaped and so exit information has
been was stashed in the pidfs inode.
That's great except that it's buggy. If a pidfs dentry is stashed in
pid->stashed after pidfs_exit() but before __unhash_process() is called
we will return a pidfd for a reaped task without exit information being
available.
The pidfds_pid_valid() check does not guard against this race as it
doens't sync at all with pidfs_exit(). The pid_has_task() check might be
successful simply because we're before __unhash_process() but after
pidfs_exit().
Introduce a new scheme where the lifetime of information associated with
a pidfs entry (coredump and exit information) isn't bound to the
lifetime of the pidfs inode but the struct pid itself.
The first time a pidfs dentry is allocated for a struct pid a struct
pidfs_attr will be allocated which will be used to store exit and
coredump information.
If all pidfs for the pidfs dentry are closed the dentry and inode can be
cleaned up but the struct pidfs_attr will stick until the struct pid
itself is freed. This will ensure minimal memory usage while persisting
relevant information.
The new scheme has various advantages. First, it allows to close the
race where we end up handing out a pidfd for a reaped task for which no
exit information is available. Second, it minimizes memory usage.
Third, it allows to remove complex lifetime tracking via dentries when
registering a struct pid with pidfs. There's no need to get or put a
reference. Instead, the lifetime of exit and coredump information
associated with a struct pid is bound to the lifetime of struct pid
itself.

BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH can recycle most recent elements well before the
map is full, due to percpu reservations and force shrink before
neighbor stealing. Once a CPU is unable to borrow from the global map,
it will once steal one elem from a neighbor and after that each time
flush this one element to the global list and immediately recycle it.
Batch value LOCAL_FREE_TARGET (128) will exhaust a 10K element map
with 79 CPUs. CPU 79 will observe this behavior even while its
neighbors hold 78 * 127 + 1 * 15 == 9921 free elements (99%).
CPUs need not be active concurrently. The issue can appear with
affinity migration, e.g., irqbalance. Each CPU can reserve and then
hold onto its 128 elements indefinitely.
Avoid global list exhaustion by limiting aggregate percpu caches to
half of map size, by adjusting LOCAL_FREE_TARGET based on cpu count.
This change has no effect on sufficiently large tables.
Similar to LOCAL_NR_SCANS and lru->nr_scans, introduce a map variable
lru->free_target. The extra field fits in a hole in struct bpf_lru.
The cacheline is already warm where read in the hot path. The field is
only accessed with the lru lock held.

FREEZING
When tasks are migrated to a frozen cgroup, the freezer fails to
immediately freeze the tasks, causing the cgroup to remain in the
"FREEZING".
The freeze_task() function is called before clearing the CGROUP_FROZEN
flag. This causes the freezing() check to incorrectly return false,
preventing __freeze_task() from being invoked for the migrated task.
To fix this issue, clear the CGROUP_FROZEN state before calling
freeze_task().

The struct cgroup_subsys_state now has per-cpu lnode which needs to be

Since we want the insertion to be nmi safe, there can be multiple
inserters on the same cpu for the same lnode. Here multiple inserters
are from stacked contexts like softirq, hardirq and nmi.
The current llist does not provide function to protect against the
scenario where multiple inserters can use the same lnode. So, using
llist_node() out of the box is not safe for this scenario.
However we can protect against multiple inserters using the same lnode
by using the fact llist node points to itself when not on the llist and
atomically reset it and select the winner as the single inserter.

If a console printer is interrupted during panic, it will never
be able to reacquire ownership in order to perform and cleanup.
That in itself is not a problem, since the non-panic CPU will
simply quiesce in an endless loop within nbcon_reacquire_nobuf().
However, in this state, platforms that do not support a true NMI
to interrupt the quiesced CPU will not be able to shutdown that
CPU from within panic(). This then causes problems for such as
being unable to load and run a kdump kernel.
Fix this by allowing non-panic CPUs to reacquire ownership using
a direct acquire. Then the non-panic CPUs can successfullyl exit
the nbcon_reacquire_nobuf() loop and the console driver can
perform any necessary cleanup. But more importantly, the CPU is
no longer quiesced and is free to process any interrupts
necessary for panic() to shutdown the CPU.
All other forms of acquire are still not allowed for non-panic
CPUs since it is safer to have them avoid gaining console
ownership that is not strictly necessary.
