Cover letter [PATCH 5.4 00/17] Backport oops_limit to 5.4

This series backports the patchset
"exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/T/#u)
to 5.4, as recommended at
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2023/01/exploiting-null-dereferences-in-linux.html
This follows the backports to 5.10 and 5.15 which already released.

This required backporting various prerequisite patches.

I've tested that oops_limit and warn_limit work correctly on x86_64.

David Gow (1):
mm: kasan: do not panic if both panic_on_warn and kasan_multishot set

Eric W. Biederman (2):
exit: Add and use make_task_dead.
objtool: Add a missing comma to avoid string concatenation

Jann Horn (1):
exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops

Kees Cook (7):
exit: Expose "oops_count" to sysfs
exit: Allow oops_limit to be disabled
panic: Consolidate open-coded panic_on_warn checks
panic: Introduce warn_limit
panic: Expose "warn_count" to sysfs
docs: Fix path paste-o for /sys/kernel/warn_count
exit: Use READ_ONCE() for all oops/warn limit reads

Nathan Chancellor (3):
hexagon: Fix function name in die()
h8300: Fix build errors from do_exit() to make_task_dead() transition
csky: Fix function name in csky_alignment() and die()

Randy Dunlap (1):
ia64: make IA64_MCA_RECOVERY bool instead of tristate

Tiezhu Yang (1):
panic: unset panic_on_warn inside panic()

Xiaoming Ni (1):
sysctl: add a new register_sysctl_init() interface
