In unregister_fprobe function we can't release fp->rethook while it's
possible there are some of its users still running on another cpu.
Moving rethook_free call after fp->ops is unregistered with
unregister_ftrace_function call.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu-tasks: Avoid pr_info() with spin lock in cblist_init_generic()
pr_info() is called with rtp->cbs_gbl_lock spin lock locked. Because
pr_info() calls printk() that might sleep, this will result in BUG
like below:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip_vti: fix potential slab-use-after-free in decode_session6
When ip_vti device is set to the qdisc of the sfb type, the cb field
of the sent skb may be modified during enqueuing. Then,
slab-use-after-free may occur when ip_vti device sends IPv6 packets.
As commit f855691975bb ("xfrm6: Fix the nexthdr offset in
_decode_session6.") showed, xfrm_decode_session was originally intended
only for the receive path. IP6CB(skb)->nhoff is not set during
transmission. Therefore, set the cb field in the skb to 0 before
sending packets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if they have referenced variables
Hist triggers can have referenced variables without having direct
variables fields. This can be the case if referenced variables are added
for trigger actions. In this case the newly added references will not
have field variables. Not taking such referenced variables into
consideration can result in a bug where it would be possible to remove
hist trigger with variables being refenced. This will result in a bug
that is easily reproducable like so
$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing
$ echo 'synthetic_sys_enter char[] comm; long id' >> synthetic_events
$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:onmatch(raw_syscalls.sys_enter).synthetic_sys_enter($comm, id)' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
$ echo '!hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger

This bug is caused by the fact that usbnet trusts the bulk endpoint
addresses its probe routine receives in the driver_info structure, and
it does not check to see that these endpoints actually exist and have
the expected type and directions.
The fix is simply to add such a check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: mark requests for GuC virtual engines to avoid use-after-free
References to i915_requests may be trapped by userspace inside a
sync_file or dmabuf (dma-resv) and held indefinitely across different
proceses. To counter-act the memory leaks, we try to not to keep
references from the request past their completion.
On the other side on fence release we need to know if rq->engine
is valid and points to hw engine (true for non-virtual requests).
To make it possible extra bit has been added to rq->execution_mask,
for marking virtual engines.
(cherry picked from commit 280410677af763f3871b93e794a199cfcf6fb580)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: reject auth/assoc to AP with our address
If the AP uses our own address as its MLD address or BSSID, then
clearly something's wrong. Reject such connections so we don't
try and fail later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: rawnand: brcmnand: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in oob write
When the oob buffer length is not in multiple of words, the oob write
function does out-of-bounds read on the oob source buffer at the last
iteration. Fix that by always checking length limit on the oob buffer
read and fill with 0xff when reaching the end of the buffer to the oob
registers.
