Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen:
"The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
(LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the
upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually
recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.
This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).
There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an
under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf
so more feature can be packed in there.
Summary:
- Enable Linear Address Space Separation (LASS)
- Change X86_FEATURE leaf 17 from an AMD leaf to Linux-defined"

Pull misc x86 updates from Dave Hansen:
"The most significant are some changes to ensure that symbols exported
for KVM are used only by KVM modules themselves, along with some

just enhances an existing pr_warn() to make it clear to users how they
have tainted their kernel when something is mucking with MSRs.

Pull x86 microcode loading updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add microcode staging support on Intel: it moves the sole microcode
blobs loading to a non-critical path so that microcode loading
latencies are kept at minimum. The actual "directing" the hardware to
load microcode is the only step which is done on the critical path.
This scheme is also opportunistic as in: on a failure, the machinery
falls back to normal loading
- Add the capability to the AMD side of the loader to select one of two
per-family/model/stepping patches: one is pre-Entrysign and the other
is post-Entrysign; with the goal to take care of machines which
haven't updated their BIOS yet - something they should absolutely do
as this is the only proper Entrysign fix

last-minute show-stopper from the last merge window was sorted out.
After this, the AMD MCA deferred errors, thresholding and corrected
errors interrupt handlers use common MCA code and are tightly
integrated into the core MCA code, thereby getting rid of
considerable duplication. All culminating into allowing CMCI error
thresholding storms to be detected at AMD too, using the common
infrastructure
- Add support for two new MCA bank bits on AMD Zen6 which denote
whether the error address logged is a system physical address, which
obviates the need for it to be translated before further error
recovery can be done

- Rework of the Per Processor Interrupt (PPI) management on ARM[64]
PPI support was built under the assumption that the systems are

threads to random CPUs, which ignores user or driver settings.

Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which
are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

Pull scoped user access updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Scoped user mode access and related changes:
- Implement the missing u64 user access function on ARM when
CONFIG_CPU_SPECTRE=n.
This makes it possible to access a 64bit value in generic code with
[unsafe_]get_user(). All other architectures and ARM variants
provide the relevant accessors already.
- Ensure that ASM GOTO jump label usage in the user mode access
helpers always goes through a local C scope label indirection
inside the helpers.
This is required because compilers are not supporting that a ASM
GOTO target leaves a auto cleanup scope. GCC silently fails to emit
the cleanup invocation and CLANG fails the build.
[ Editor's note: gcc-16 will have fixed the code generation issue
in commit f68fe3ddda4 ("eh: Invoke cleanups/destructors in asm
goto jumps [PR122835]"). But we obviously have to deal with clang
and older versions of gcc, so.. - Linus ]
This provides generic wrapper macros and the conversion of affected
architecture code to use them.
- Scoped user mode access with auto cleanup
Access to user mode memory can be required in hot code paths, but
if it has to be done with user controlled pointers, the access is
shielded with a speculation barrier, so that the CPU cannot
speculate around the address range check. Those speculation
barriers impact performance quite significantly.
This cost can be avoided by "masking" the provided pointer so it is
guaranteed to be in the valid user memory access range and
otherwise to point to a guaranteed unpopulated address space. This
has to be done without branches so it creates an address dependency
for the access, which the CPU cannot speculate ahead.
This results in repeating and error prone programming patterns:
if (can_do_masked_user_access())
from = masked_user_read_access_begin((from));
else if (!user_read_access_begin(from, sizeof(*from)))

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
cumbersome cleanup paths.
FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:
fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
if (fd < 0)
vfio_device_put_registration(device);
return fd;
FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
additional work before publishing:
FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file);
if (fdf.err) {
fput(sync_file->file);
return fdf.err;
}
data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data)))
return -EFAULT;
return fd_publish(fdf);
The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.
I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

Pull autofs update from Christian Brauner:
"Prevent futile mount triggers in private mount namespaces.
Fix a problematic loop in autofs when a mount namespace contains
autofs mounts that are propagation private and there is no
namespace-specific automount daemon to handle possible automounting.
Previously, attempted path resolution would loop until MAXSYMLINKS was
reached before failing, causing significant noise in the log.
The fix adds a check in autofs ->d_automount() so that the VFS can
immediately return EPERM in this case. Since the mount is propagation
private, EPERM is the most appropriate error code"

Pull overlayfs cred guard conversion from Christian Brauner:
"This converts all of overlayfs to use credential guards, eliminating
manual credential management throughout the filesystem.
Credential guard conversion:
- Convert all of overlayfs to use credential guards, replacing the
manual ovl_override_creds()/ovl_revert_creds() pattern with scoped
guards.
This makes credential handling visually explicit and eliminates a
class of potential bugs from mismatched override/revert calls.
(1) Basic credential guard (with_ovl_creds)
(2) Creator credential guard (ovl_override_creator_creds):
Introduced a specialized guard for file creation operations
that handles the two-phase credential override (mounter
credentials, then fs{g,u}id override). The new pattern is much
clearer:
with_ovl_creds(dentry->d_sb) {
scoped_class(prepare_creds_ovl, cred, dentry, inode, mode) {
if (IS_ERR(cred))
return PTR_ERR(cred);
/* creation operations */
}
}
(3) Copy-up credential guard (ovl_cu_creds):
Introduced a specialized guard for copy-up operations,
simplifying the previous struct ovl_cu_creds helper and
associated functions.
Ported ovl_copy_up_workdir() and ovl_copy_up_tmpfile() to this
pattern.
Cleanups:
- Remove ovl_revert_creds() after all callers converted to guards
- Remove struct ovl_cu_creds and associated functions
- Drop ovl_setup_cred_for_create() after conversion
- Refactor ovl_fill_super(), ovl_lookup(), ovl_iterate(),
ovl_rename() for cleaner credential guard scope

Pull directory locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to add centralized APIs for directory locking
operations.
This series is part of a larger effort to change directory operation
locking to allow multiple concurrent operations in a directory. The
ultimate goal is to lock the target dentry(s) rather than the whole
parent directory.
To help with changing the locking protocol, this series centralizes
locking and lookup in new helper functions. The helpers establish a
pattern where it is the dentry that is being locked and unlocked
(currently the lock is held on dentry->d_parent->d_inode, but that can
change in the future).
This also changes vfs_mkdir() to unlock the parent on failure, as well

Pull directory delegations update from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work for recall-only directory delegations for
knfsd.
Add support for simple, recallable-only directory delegations. This
was decided at the fall NFS Bakeathon where the NFS client and server
maintainers discussed how to merge directory delegation support.
The approach starts with recallable-only delegations for several reasons:
1. RFC8881 has gaps that are being addressed in RFC8881bis. In
particular, it requires directory position information for
CB_NOTIFY callbacks, which is difficult to implement properly
under Linux. The spec is being extended to allow that information
to be omitted.
2. Client-side support for CB_NOTIFY still lags. The client side
involves heuristics about when to request a delegation.
3. Early indication shows simple, recallable-only delegations can
help performance. Anna Schumaker mentioned seeing a multi-minute
speedup in xfstests runs with them enabled.
With these changes, userspace can also request a read lease on a
directory that will be recalled on conflicting accesses. This may be
useful for applications like Samba. Users can disable leases
altogether via the fs.leases-enable sysctl if needed.
VFS changes:
- Dedicated Type for Delegations
Introduce struct delegated_inode to track inodes that may have
delegations that need to be broken. This replaces the previous
approach of passing raw inode pointers through the delegation
breaking code paths, providing better type safety and clearer
semantics for the delegation machinery.
- Break parent directory delegations in open(..., O_CREAT) codepath
- Allow mkdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Allow rmdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Add try_break_deleg calls for parents to vfs_link(), vfs_rename(),
and vfs_unlink()
- Make vfs_create(), vfs_mknod(), and vfs_symlink() break delegations
on parent directory
- Clean up argument list for vfs_create()
- Expose delegation support to userland

Pull fs header updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains initial work to start splitting up fs.h.
Begin the long-overdue work of splitting up the monolithic fs.h
header. The header has grown to over 3000 lines and includes types and
functions for many different subsystems, making it difficult to
navigate and causing excessive compilation dependencies.
This series introduces new focused headers for superblock-related
code:
- Rename fs_types.h to fs_dirent.h to better reflect its actual
content (directory entry types)
- Add fs/super_types.h containing superblock type definitions
- Add fs/super.h containing superblock function declarations
This is the first step in a longer effort to modularize the VFS
headers.
Cleanups:
- Inode Field Layout Optimization (Mateusz Guzik)
Move inode fields used during fast path lookup closer together to
improve cache locality during path resolution.
- current_umask() Optimization (Mateusz Guzik)
Inline current_umask() and move it to fs_struct.h. This improves
performance by avoiding function call overhead for this
frequently-used function, and places it in a more appropriate
header since it operates on fs_struct"

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements
adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.
Features:
- Kernel Credential Guards
Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()

Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner:
"Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file
position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common
operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current
folio.
The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and
is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems:
- btrfs
- buffer
- ext4
- f2fs
- gfs2
- iomap
- netfs
- xfs
- mm
This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files
larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but
the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs,
they were just mildly inefficient.
This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent
commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on
64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit
systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures.
Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in
places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it
is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are
always unsigned regardless of architecture"

Pull pidfd and coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Expose coredump signal via pidfd
Expose the signal that caused the coredump through the pidfd
interface. The recent changes to rework coredump handling to rely
on unix sockets are in the process of being used in systemd. The
previous systemd coredump container interface requires the coredump
file descriptor and basic information including the signal number
to be sent to the container. This means the signal number needs to
be available before sending the coredump to the container.

which information fields are supported by the running kernel. This

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.
Features:
- listns() system call
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
longstanding limitations:
Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
all processes, which is:
- Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
- Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
parent references
- Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
- No ordering or ownership information
- No filtering per namespace type
The listns() system call solves these problems:
ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);
struct ns_id_req {
__u32 size;
__u32 spare;
__u64 ns_id;
struct /* listns */ {
__u32 ns_type;
__u32 spare2;
__u64 user_ns_id;
};
};
Features include:
- Pagination support for large namespace sets
- Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
- Filtering by owning user namespace
- Permission checks respecting namespace isolation
- Active Reference Counting
Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
cases:
- The namespace is in use by a task
- The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount)
- The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
namespaces
The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
to namespace file handles and listns().
This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
not be accessible via (1)-(3).
- Unified Namespace Tree
Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
- Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
- Lookup based solely on inode number
- Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
- Simplified rbtree comparison helpers
Cleanups
- Header Reorganization:
- Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
- Decouple nstree from ns_common header
- Move nstree types into separate header
- Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
- Use guards for ns_tree_lock
- Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
- Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
away
- Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
- Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
- pid: rely on common reference count behavior
- Miscellaneous Cleanups
- Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
- Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
- Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
- Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
- nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
- pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
- libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
- cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
- nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()
Fixes:
- setns(pidfd, ...) race condition
Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.
The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.
- Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success
- Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
reference)
- Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
namespace
- Add asserts for active refcount underflow
- Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
and active)
- ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions
- Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions
- Selftests
- 15 active reference count tests
- 9 listns() functionality tests
- 7 listns() permission tests
- 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
- 3 threaded active reference count tests
- commit_creds() active reference tests

Pull writeback updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Allow file systems to increase the minimum writeback chunk size.
The relatively low minimal writeback size of 4MiB means that
written back inodes on rotational media are switched a lot. Besides
introducing additional seeks, this also can lead to extreme file
fragmentation on zoned devices when a lot of files are cached
relative to the available writeback bandwidth.
This adds a superblock field that allows the file system to
override the default size, and sets it to the zone size for zoned
XFS.
- Add logging for slow writeback when it exceeds
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs. This helps identify tasks waiting
for a long time and pinpoint potential issues. Recording the
starting jiffies is also useful when debugging a crashed vmcore.
- Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk
Cleanups:
- filemap_* writeback interface cleanups.
Adding filemap_fdatawrite_wbc ended up being a mistake, as all but
the original btrfs caller should be using better high level
interfaces instead.

to a more specific interface, and cleans up other too low-level

"Features:

- Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
permission checks during path lookup and adds the

expensive permission work.
- Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.
- Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.
Cleanups:
- Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved

- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.
- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.
- Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().
- Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
initrd code.
- Various typo fixes.
Fixes:
- Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path

Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
"FUSE iomap Support for Buffered Reads:
This adds iomap support for FUSE buffered reads and readahead. This
enables granular uptodate tracking with large folios so only
non-uptodate portions need to be read. Also fixes a race condition
with large folios + writeback cache that could cause data corruption
on partial writes followed by reads.
- Refactored iomap read/readahead bio logic into helpers
- Added caller-provided callbacks for read operations
- Moved buffered IO bio logic into new file
- FUSE now uses iomap for read_folio and readahead
Zero Range Folio Batch Support:
Add folio batch support for iomap_zero_range() to handle dirty
folios over unwritten mappings. Fix raciness issues where dirty data
could be lost during zero range operations.
- filemap_get_folios_tag_range() helper for dirty folio lookup
- Optional zero range dirty folio processing
- XFS fills dirty folios on zero range of unwritten mappings
- Removed old partial EOF zeroing optimization
DIO Write Completions from Interrupt Context:
Restore pre-iomap behavior where pure overwrite completions run
inline rather than being deferred to workqueue. Reduces context
switches for high-performance workloads like ScyllaDB.
- Removed unused IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP code
- Error completions always run in user context (fixes zonefs)
- Reworked REQ_FUA selection logic
- Inverted IOMAP_DIO_INLINE_COMP to IOMAP_DIO_OFFLOAD_COMP
Buffered IO Cleanups:
Some performance and code clarity improvements:
- Replace manual bitmap scanning with find_next_bit()
- Simplify read skip logic for writes
- Optimize pending async writeback accounting
- Better variable naming
- Documentation for iomap_finish_folio_write() requirements
Misaligned Vectors for Zoned XFS:
Enables sub-block aligned vectors in XFS always-COW mode for zoned
devices via new IOMAP_DIO_FSBLOCK_ALIGNED flag.
Bug Fixes:
- Allocate s_dio_done_wq for async reads (fixes syzbot report after
error completion changes)
- Fix iomap_read_end() for already uptodate folios (regression fix)"

So 'objtool --link -d vmlinux.o' gets surprised by this endbr64+endbr64 pattern
in ___bpf_prog_run():
___bpf_prog_run:
1e7680: ___bpf_prog_run+0x0 push %r12
1e7682: ___bpf_prog_run+0x2 mov %rdi,%r12
1e7685: ___bpf_prog_run+0x5 push %rbp
1e7686: ___bpf_prog_run+0x6 xor %ebp,%ebp
1e7688: ___bpf_prog_run+0x8 push %rbx
1e7689: ___bpf_prog_run+0x9 mov %rsi,%rbx
1e768c: ___bpf_prog_run+0xc movzbl (%rbx),%esi
1e768f: ___bpf_prog_run+0xf movzbl %sil,%edx
1e7693: ___bpf_prog_run+0x13 mov %esi,%eax
1e7695: ___bpf_prog_run+0x15 mov 0x0(,%rdx,8),%rdx
1e769d: ___bpf_prog_run+0x1d jmp 0x1e76a2 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rdx>
1e76a2: ___bpf_prog_run+0x22 endbr64
1e76a6: ___bpf_prog_run+0x26 endbr64
1e76aa: ___bpf_prog_run+0x2a mov 0x4(%rbx),%edx
And crashes due to blindly dereferencing alt->insn->alt_group.
Bail out on NULL ->alt_group, which produces this warning and continues
with the disassembly, instead of a segfault:

The Linux kernel coding style advises to avoid common variable
names in function-like macros to reduce the risk of namespace
collisions.
Throughout local_lock_internal.h, several macros use the rather common
variable names 'l' and 'tl'. This already resulted in an actual
collision: the __local_lock_acquire() function like macro is currently
shadowing the parameter 'l' of the:
class_##_name##_t class_##_name##_constructor(_type *l)
function factory from <linux/cleanup.h>.
Rename the variable 'l' to '__l' and the variable 'tl' to '__tl'
throughout the file to fix the current namespace collision and
to prevent future ones.
[ bigeasy: Rebase, update all l and tl instances in macros ]
