commit 99af22cd34 upstream.
alloc_tag_top_users() attempts to lock alloc_tag_cttype->mod_lock even
when the alloc_tag_cttype is not allocated because:
1) alloc tagging is disabled because mem profiling is disabled
(!alloc_tag_cttype)
2) alloc tagging is enabled, but not yet initialized (!alloc_tag_cttype)
3) alloc tagging is enabled, but failed initialization
(!alloc_tag_cttype or IS_ERR(alloc_tag_cttype))
In all cases, alloc_tag_cttype is not allocated, and therefore
alloc_tag_top_users() should not attempt to acquire the semaphore.
This leads to a crash on memory allocation failure by attempting to
acquire a non-existent semaphore:

As David Wang points out, this issue became easier to trigger after commit
780138b123 ("alloc_tag: check mem_profiling_support in alloc_tag_init").
Before the commit, the issue occurred only when it failed to allocate and
initialize alloc_tag_cttype or if a memory allocation fails before
alloc_tag_init() is called. After the commit, it can be easily triggered
when memory profiling is compiled but disabled at boot.
To properly determine whether alloc_tag_init() has been called and its
data structures initialized, verify that alloc_tag_cttype is a valid
pointer before acquiring the semaphore. If the variable is NULL or an
error value, it has not been properly initialized. In such a case, just
skip and do not attempt to acquire the semaphore.

Summary
* Remove "->procname == NULL" check when iterating through sysctl table arrays
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and
runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. With all ctl_table
sentinels gone, the additional check for ->procname == NULL that worked in
tandem with the ARRAY_SIZE to calculate the size of the ctl_table arrays is
no longer needed and has been removed. The sysctl register functions now
returns an error if a sentinel is used.
* Preparation patches for sysctl constification
Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of proc_handler
function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. The ctl_table arguments
in sysctl utility functions are const qualified in preparation for a future
treewide proc_handler argument constification commit.
* Misc fixes
Increase robustness of set_ownership by providing sane default ownership
values in case the callee doesn't set them. Bound check proc_dou8vec_minmax
to avoid loading buggy modules and give sysctl testing module a name to
avoid compiler complaints.
Testing
* This got push to linux-next in v6.10-rc2, so it has had more than a month
of testing

sysctl: Warn on an empty procname element

Memory allocation profiling is trying to register sysctl interface even
when CONFIG_SYSCTL=n, resulting in proc_do_static_key() being undefined.
Prevent that by skipping sysctl registration for such configurations.

This commit is part of a greater effort to remove all empty elements at
the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the
overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64
bytes per sentinel (further information Link :

The /proc/allocinfo file exposes a tremendous about of information about
kernel build details, memory allocations (obviously), and potentially even
image layout (due to ordering). As this is intended to be consumed by
system owners (like /proc/slabinfo), use the same file permissions as
there: 0400.

The highest memory overhead from memory allocation profiling comes from
page_ext objects. This overhead exists even if the feature is disabled
but compiled-in. To avoid it, introduce an early boot parameter that
prevents page_ext object creation. The new boot parameter is a tri-state
with possible values of 0|1|never. When it is set to "never" the memory
allocation profiling support is disabled, and overhead is minimized
(currently no page_ext objects are allocated, in the future more overhead
might be eliminated). As a result we also lose ability to enable memory
allocation profiling at runtime (because there is no space to store
alloctag references). Runtime sysctrl becomes read-only if the early boot
parameter was set to "never". Note that the default value of this boot
parameter depends on the CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT
configuration. When CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT=n the
boot parameter is set to "never", therefore eliminating any overhead.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT=y results in boot parameter
being set to 1 (enabled). This allows distributions to avoid any overhead
by setting CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT=n config and with
no changes to the kernel command line.
We reuse sysctl.vm.mem_profiling boot parameter name in order to avoid
introducing yet another control. This change turns it into a tri-state
early boot parameter.

Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily
instrument memory allocators. It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type
with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when
the feature is enabled.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory
allocation profiling instrumentation.
Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation
profiling by default.
