This series backports the patchset "exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops" (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20221117233838.give.484-kees@kernel.org/T/#...) to 5.4, as recommended at https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2023/01/exploiting-null-dereferences-... 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
