Pull locking fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of PI futex fixes: - Address a longstanding issue where the user space part of the PI futex is not writeable. The kernel returns with inconsistent state which can in the worst case result in a UAF of a tasks kernel stack. The solution is to establish consistent kernel state which makes future operations on the futex fail because user space and kernel space state are inconsistent. Not a problem as PI futexes fundamentaly require a functional RW mapping and if user space pulls the rug under it, then it can keep the pieces it asked for. - Address an issue where the return value is incorrect in case that the futex was acquired after a timeout/signal made the waiter drop out of the rtmutex wait. In one of the corner cases the kernel returned an error code despite having successfully acquired the futex" * tag 'locking-urgent-2021-01-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: futex: Handle faults correctly for PI futexes futex: Simplify fixup_pi_state_owner() futex: Use pi_state_update_owner() in put_pi_state() rtmutex: Remove unused argument from rt_mutex_proxy_unlock() futex: Provide and use pi_state_update_owner() futex: Replace pointless printk in fixup_owner() futex: Ensure the correct return value from futex_lock_pi()
