Use a temporary variable to take full advantage of READ_ONCE() behavior.
Without this, the report (and even the test) might be out of sync with
the initial test.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:

 - Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings, and
   fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by maintainers
   (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook)

 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add
   more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all
   allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that
   each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions

 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to
   provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook)

 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner
   overflow checking

 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc

 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests

 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred()

 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell)

 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin
   Li)

 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu)

 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments

Since Warn count is now tracked and is a fairly interesting signal, add
the entry /sys/kernel/warn_count to expose it to userspace.

Several run-time checkers (KASAN, UBSAN, KFENCE, KCSAN, sched) roll
their own warnings, and each check "panic_on_warn". Consolidate this
into a single function so that future instrumentation can be added in
a single location.

<title>kernel/panic: Drop unblank_screen call</title>

console_unblank() does this too (called in both places right after),
and with a lot more confidence inspiring approach to locking.

Reconstructing this story is very strange:

In b61312d353da ("oops handling: ensure that any oops is flushed to
the mtdoops console") it is claimed that a printk(" "); flushed out
the console buffer, which was removed in e3e8a75d2acf ("[PATCH]
Extract and use wake_up_klogd()"). In todays kernels this is done way
earlier in console_flush_on_panic with some really nasty tricks. I
didn't bother to fully reconstruct this all, least because the call to
bust_spinlock(0); gets moved every few years, depending upon how the
wind blows (or well, who screamed loudest about the various issue each
call site caused).

Before that commit the only calls to console_unblank() where in s390
arch code.

The other side here is the console-&gt;unblank callback, which was
introduced in 2.1.31 for the vt driver. Which predates the
console_unblank() function by a lot, which was added (without users)
in 2.4.14.3. So pretty much impossible to guess at any motivation
here. Also afaict the vt driver is the only (and always was the only)
console driver implementing the unblank callback, so no idea why a
call to console_unblank() was added for the mtdooops driver - the
action actually flushing out the console buffers is done from
console_unlock() only.

Note that as prep for the s390 users the locking was adjusted in
2.5.22 (I couldn't figure out how to properly reference the BK commit
from the historical git trees) from a normal semaphore to a trylock.

Note that a copy of the direct unblank_screen() call was added to
panic() in c7c3f05e341a ("panic: avoid deadlocks in re-entrant console
drivers"), which partially inlined the bust_spinlocks(0); call.

Long story short, I have no idea why the direct call to unblank_screen
survived for so long (the infrastructure to do it properly existed for
years), nor why it wasn't removed when the console_unblank() call was
finally added. But it makes a ton more sense to finally do that than
not - it's just better encapsulation to go through the console
functions instead of doing a direct call, so let's dare. Plus it
really does not make much sense to call the only unblank
implementation there is twice, once without, and once with appropriate
locking.

Pull KUnit updates from Shuah Khan:
 "This consists of several fixes and an important feature to discourage
  running KUnit tests on production systems. Running tests on a
  production system could leave the system in a bad state.

  Summary:

   - Add a new taint type, TAINT_TEST to signal that a test has been
     run.

     This should discourage people from running these tests on
     production systems, and to make it easier to tell if tests have
     been run accidentally (by loading the wrong configuration, etc)

   - Several documentation and tool enhancements and fixes"
