haibinzhang (张海斌) cc69ef9598 arm64: fix oops in concurrently setting insn_emulation sysctls 
[ Upstream commit af483947d4 ]

emulation_proc_handler() changes table->data for proc_dointvec_minmax
and can generate the following Oops if called concurrently with itself:

 | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000010
 | Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] SMP
 | Call trace:
 | update_insn_emulation_mode+0xc0/0x148
 | emulation_proc_handler+0x64/0xb8
 | proc_sys_call_handler+0x9c/0xf8
 | proc_sys_write+0x18/0x20
 | __vfs_write+0x20/0x48
 | vfs_write+0xe4/0x1d0

 | el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x7c/0x1c0
 | el0_svc_handler+0x2c/0xa0
 | el0_svc+0x8/0x200

To fix this issue, keep the table->data as &insn->current_mode and
use container_of() to retrieve the insn pointer. Another mutex is
used to protect against the current_mode update but not for retrieving
insn_emulation as table->data is no longer changing.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
