compiler: Let data_race() imply disabled context analysis
Many patterns that involve data-racy accesses often deliberately ignore
normal synchronization rules to avoid taking a lock.
If we have a lock-guarded variable on which we do a lock-less data-racy
access, rather than having to write context_unsafe(data_race(..)),
simply make the data_race(..) macro imply context-unsafety. The
data_race() macro already denotes the intent that something subtly
unsafe is about to happen, so it should be clear enough as-is.
While we can opt in individual subsystems which add the required
annotations, such subsystems inevitably include headers from other
subsystems which may not yet have the right annotations, which then
result in false positive warnings.
Making compatible by adding annotations across all common headers
currently requires an excessive number of __no_context_analysis
annotations, or carefully analyzing non-trivial cases to add the correct
annotations. While this is desirable long-term, providing an incremental
path causes less churn and headaches for maintainers not yet interested
in dealing with such warnings.
Rather than clutter headers unnecessary and mandate all subsystem
maintainers to keep their headers working with context analysis,
suppress all -Wthread-safety warnings in headers. Explicitly opt in
headers with context-enabled primitives.
With this in place, we can start enabling the analysis on more complex
subsystems in subsequent changes.
As discussed in [1], removing __cond_lock() will improve the readability
of trylock code. Now that Sparse context tracking support has been
removed, we can also remove __cond_lock().
Change existing APIs to either drop __cond_lock() completely, or make
use of the __cond_acquires() function attribute instead.
In particular, spinlock and rwlock implementations required switching
over to inline helpers rather than statement-expressions for their
trylock_* variants.

compiler-context-analysis: Remove Sparse support
Remove Sparse support as discussed at [1].
The kernel codebase is still scattered with numerous places that try to
appease Sparse's context tracking ("annotation for sparse", "fake out
sparse", "work around sparse", etc.). Eventually, as more subsystems
enable Clang's context analysis, these places will show up and need
adjustment or removal of the workarounds altogether.
With Clang's context analysis, the compiler is a bit more strict about
what goes into the __acquires/__releases annotations and can't refer to
non-existent variables.
On an UM build, mm_id.h is transitively included into mm_types.h, and we
can observe the following error (if context analysis is enabled in e.g.
stackdepot.c):

One (discarded) option was to use token_context_lock(turnstile) to just
define a token with the already used name, but that would not allow the
compiler to distinguish between different mm_id-dependent instances.
Another constraint is that struct mm_id is only declared and incomplete
in the header, so even if we tried to construct an expression to get to
the mutex instance, this would fail (including more headers transitively
everywhere should also be avoided).
Instead, just declare an mm_id-dependent helper to return the mutex, and
use the mm_id-dependent call expression in the __acquires/__releases
attributes; the compiler will consider the identity of the mutex to be
the call expression. Then using __get_turnstile() in the lock/unlock
wrappers (with context analysis enabled for mmu.c) the compiler will be
able to verify the implementation of the wrappers as-is.
We leave context analysis disabled in arch/um/kernel/skas/ for now. This
change is a preparatory change to allow enabling context analysis in
subsystems that include any of the above headers.

When (and if) we introduce context locks to denote more generally that
"IRQ", "BH", "PREEMPT" contexts are disabled, it would make sense to
acquire these instead of RCU_BH and RCU_SCHED respectively.
The above change also simplified introducing __guarded_by support, where
only the "RCU" context lock needs to be held: introduce __rcu_guarded,
where Clang's context analysis warns if a pointer is dereferenced
without any of the RCU locks held, or updated without the appropriate

cleanup: Basic compatibility with context analysis
Introduce basic compatibility with cleanup.h infrastructure.
We need to allow the compiler to see the acquisition and release of the
context lock at the start and end of a scope. However, the current
"cleanup" helpers wrap the lock in a struct passed through separate
helper functions, which hides the lock alias from the compiler (no
inter-procedural analysis).
While Clang supports scoped guards in C++, it's not possible to apply in
C code: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html#scoped-context
However, together with recent improvements to Clang's alias analysis
abilities, idioms such as this work correctly now:
To generalize this pattern and make it work with existing lock guards,
introduce DECLARE_LOCK_GUARD_1_ATTRS() and WITH_LOCK_GUARD_1_ATTRS().
These allow creating an explicit alias to the context lock instance that
is "cleaned" up with a separate cleanup helper. This helper is a dummy
function that does nothing at runtime, but has the release attributes to
tell the compiler what happens at the end of the scope.
Note: To support the for-loop based scoped helpers, the auxiliary
variable must be a pointer to the "class" type because it is defined in
the same statement as the guard variable. However, we initialize it with
the lock pointer (despite the type mismatch, the compiler's alias
analysis still works as expected). The "_unlock" attribute receives a
pointer to the auxiliary variable (a double pointer to the class type),
and must be cast and dereferenced appropriately.

compiler-context-analysis: Add infrastructure for Context Analysis with Clang
Context Analysis is a language extension, which enables statically
checking that required contexts are active (or inactive), by acquiring
and releasing user-definable "context locks". An obvious application is
lock-safety checking for the kernel's various synchronization primitives
(each of which represents a "context lock"), and checking that locking
rules are not violated.
Clang originally called the feature "Thread Safety Analysis" [1]. This
was later changed and the feature became more flexible, gaining the
ability to define custom "capabilities". Its foundations can be found in
"Capability Systems" [2], used to specify the permissibility of
operations to depend on some "capability" being held (or not held).
Because the feature is not just able to express "capabilities" related
to synchronization primitives, and "capability" is already overloaded in
the kernel, the naming chosen for the kernel departs from Clang's
"Thread Safety" and "capability" nomenclature; we refer to the feature
as "Context Analysis" to avoid confusion. The internal implementation
still makes references to Clang's terminology in a few places, such as
`-Wthread-safety` being the warning option that also still appears in
diagnostic messages.

perf/x86/intel: Fix NULL event dereference crash in handle_pmi_common()
handle_pmi_common() may observe an active bit set in cpuc->active_mask
while the corresponding cpuc->events[] entry has already been cleared,
which leads to a NULL pointer dereference.
This can happen when interrupt throttling stops all events in a group
while PEBS processing is still in progress. perf_event_overflow() can
trigger perf_event_throttle_group(), which stops the group and clears
the cpuc->events[] entry, but the active bit may still be set when
handle_pmi_common() iterates over the events.
The following recent fix:
7e772a93eb61 ("perf/x86: Fix NULL event access and potential PEBS record loss")
moved the cpuc->events[] clearing from x86_pmu_stop() to x86_pmu_del() and
relied on cpuc->active_mask/pebs_enabled checks. However,
handle_pmi_common() can still encounter a NULL cpuc->events[] entry
despite the active bit being set.
Add an explicit NULL check on the event pointer before using it,
to cover this legitimate scenario and avoid the NULL dereference crash.

When CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_PM_SLEEP are unset, SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS()

these warnings, which is what they are intended to do. Additionally,
wrap &cix_ipbloq_hda_pm in pm_ptr() to ensure the compiler can drop the

ocfs2: invalidate inode if i_mode is zero after block read
A panic occurs in ocfs2_unlink due to WARN_ON(inode->i_nlink == 0) when
handling a corrupted inode with i_mode=0 and i_nlink=0 in memory.
This "zombie" inode is created because ocfs2_read_locked_inode proceeds
even after ocfs2_validate_inode_block successfully validates a block that
structurally looks okay (passes checksum, signature etc.) but contains
semantically invalid data (specifically i_mode=0). The current validation
function doesn't check for i_mode being zero.
This results in an in-memory inode with i_mode=0 being added to the VFS
cache, which later triggers the panic during unlink.
Prevent this by adding an explicit check for (i_mode == 0, i_nlink == 0,
non-orphan) within ocfs2_validate_inode_block. If the check is true,
return -EFSCORRUPTED to signal corruption. This causes the caller
(ocfs2_read_locked_inode) to invoke make_bad_inode(), correctly preventing
the zombie inode from entering the cache.

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
Use the new TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix the following warning:
fs/ocfs2/xattr.c:52:41: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM) and a
set of MEMBERS that would otherwise follow it.
This overlays the trailing MEMBER struct ocfs2_extent_rec er; onto the FAM
struct ocfs2_xattr_value_root::xr_list.l_recs[], while keeping the FAM and
the start of MEMBER aligned.
The static_assert() ensures this alignment remains, and it's intentionally
placed inmediately after the related structure --no blank line in between.

ocfs2: convert remaining read-only checks to ocfs2_emergency_state
Now that the centralized `ocfs2_emergency_state()` helper is available,
refactor remaining filesystem-wide checks for `ocfs2_is_soft_readonly` and
`ocfs2_is_hard_readonly` to use this new function.
To ensure strict consistency with the previous behavior and guarantee no
functional changes, the call sites continue to explicitly return -EROFS
when the emergency state is detected. This standardizes the check logic
while preserving the existing error handling flow.

ocfs2: add ocfs2_emergency_state helper and apply to setattr
Patch series "ocfs2: Refactor read-only checks to use
ocfs2_emergency_state", v4.
Following the fix for the `make_bad_inode` validation failure (syzbot ID: b93b65ee321c97861072), this separate series introduces a new helper
function, `ocfs2_emergency_state()`, to improve and centralize read-only
and error state checking.
This is modeled after the `ext4_emergency_state()` pattern, providing a
single, unified location for checking all filesystem-level emergency
conditions. This makes the code cleaner and ensures that any future
checks (e.g., for fatal error states) can be added in one place.
This series is structured as follows:
1. The first patch introduces the `ocfs2_emergency_state()` helper
(currently checking for -EROFS) and applies it to `ocfs2_setattr`
to provide a "fail-fast" mechanism, as suggested by Albin
Babu Varghese.
2. The second patch completes the refactoring by converting all
remaining read-only checks throughout OCFS2 to use this new helper.
This patch (of 2):
To centralize error checking, follow the pattern of other filesystems like
ext4 (which uses `ext4_emergency_state()`), and prepare for future
enhancements, this patch introduces a new helper function:
`ocfs2_emergency_state()`.
The purpose of this helper is to provide a single, unified location for
checking all filesystem-level emergency conditions. In this initial
implementation, the function only checks for the existing hard and soft
read-only modes, returning -EROFS if either is set.
This provides a foundation where future checks (e.g., for fatal error
states returning -EIO, or shutdown states) can be easily added in one
place.
This patch also adds this new check to the beginning of `ocfs2_setattr()`.
This ensures that operations like `ftruncate` (which triggered the
original BUG) fail-fast with -EROFS when the filesystem is already in a
read-only state.

checkpatch: add uninitialized pointer with __free attribute check
Uinitialized pointers with __free attribute can cause undefined behavior
as the memory randomly assigned to the pointer is freed automatically when
the pointer goes out of scope. add check in checkpatch to detect such
issues.
syzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2_find_victim_chain() because the
`cl_next_free_rec` field of the allocation chain list (next free slot in
the chain list) is 0, triggring the BUG_ON(!cl->cl_next_free_rec)
condition in ocfs2_find_victim_chain() and panicking the kernel.
To fix this, an if condition is introduced in ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits(),
just before calling ocfs2_find_victim_chain(), the code block in it being
executed when either of the following conditions is true:
1. `cl_next_free_rec` is equal to 0, indicating that there are no free
chains in the allocation chain list
2. `cl_next_free_rec` is greater than `cl_count` (the total number of
chains in the allocation chain list)
Either of them being true is indicative of the fact that there are no
chains left for usage.
This is addressed using ocfs2_error(), which prints
the error log for debugging purposes, rather than panicking the kernel.
