Modules changes for v7.1-rc1
Kernel symbol flags:
- Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and
__kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new
__kflagstab section. This section stores symbol flags, such as
the GPL-only flag, as an 8-bit bitset for each exported symbol.
This is a cleanup that simplifies symbol lookup in the module
loader by avoiding table fragmentation and will allow a cleaner
way to add more flags later if needed.
Module signature UAPI:
- Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse
by tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and
scripts/sign-file. This also renames a few constants for clarity
and drops unused signature types as preparation for hash-based
module integrity checking work that's in progress.
Sysfs:
- Add a /sys/module/<module>/import_ns sysfs attribute to show
the symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules. This makes it
easier to verify driver API access at runtime on systems that
care about such things (e.g. Android).
Cleanups and fixes:
- Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents
non-zero section addresses when linking modules with ld.bfd -r,
which confused elfutils.
- Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload
when the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n.
- Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to
userspace. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by
the module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded.
- Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive
returns from module_init().
- Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and
synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation.

Update to the VDSO subsystem:
- Make the handling of compat functions consistent and more robust
- Rework the underlying data store so that it is dynamically
allocated, which allows the conversion of the last holdout SPARC64
to the generic VDSO implementation
- Rework the SPARC64 VDSO to utilize the generic implementation
- Mop up the left overs of the non-generic VDSO support in the core
code.

Updates for the timer/timekeeping core:
- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for frequently
armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer.
- Better timer locality decision
- Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by
keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing a
RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the
RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more
important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is
rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified
expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which both
can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.
- Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This
optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the need
resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the
re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where the
scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick timer
armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or soft
interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule point
in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed in one
of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes stale.
- Support for clocksource coupled clockevents
The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is
programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout,
converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta
ticks and writing the deadline MSR.
As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC
already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely
avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion
factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base
timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per
tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value
without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline
conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are
updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.
- Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write
functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.
With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler
provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other hrtimer
users obviously benefit from these optimizations.
- Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the hrtimer
and timekeeping code.
- Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.
The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was
made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the
assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially
compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major
flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
hide SMI time.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to the
boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
- Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other CPUs
based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
- Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
- The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

mm/mmu_gather: replace IPI with synchronize_rcu() when batch allocation fails
When freeing page tables, we try to batch them. If batch allocation fails (GFP_NOWAIT), __tlb_remove_table_one() immediately frees the one without batching. On !CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM, the fallback sends an IPI to all CPUs via tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). It disrupts all CPUs even when only a single process is unmapping memory. IPI broadcast was reported to hurt RT workloads[1]. tlb_remove_table_sync_one() synchronizes with lockless page-table walkers (e.g. GUP-fast) that rely on IRQ disabling. These walkers use local_irq_disable(), which is also an RCU read-side critical section. This patch introduces tlb_remove_table_sync_rcu() which uses RCU grace period (synchronize_rcu()) instead of IPI broadcast. This provides the same guarantee as IPI but without disrupting all CPUs. Since batch allocation already failed, we are in a slow path where sleeping is acceptable - we are in process context (unmap_region, exit_mmap) with only mmap_lock held. tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is retained for other callers (e.g., khugepaged after pmdp_collapse_flush(), tlb_finish_mmu() when tlb->fully_unshared_tables) that are not slow paths. Converting those may require different approaches such as targeted IPIs.

module: add kflagstab section to vmlinux and modules
This patch introduces a __kflagstab section to store symbol flags in a
dedicated data structure, similar to how CRCs are handled in the
__kcrctab.
The flags for a given symbol in __kflagstab will be located at the same
index as the symbol's entry in __ksymtab and its CRC in __kcrctab. This
design decouples the flags from the symbol table itself, allowing us to
maintain a single, sorted __ksymtab. As a result, the symbol search
remains an efficient, single lookup, regardless of the number of flags
we add in the future.
The motivation for this change comes from the Android kernel, which uses
an additional symbol flag to restrict the use of certain exported
symbols by unsigned modules, thereby enhancing kernel security. This
__kflagstab can be implemented as a bitmap to efficiently manage which
symbols are available for general use versus those restricted to signed
modules only.
This section will contain read-only data for values of kernel symbol
flags in the form of an 8-bit bitsets for each kernel symbol. Each bit
in the bitset represents a flag value defined by ksym_flags enumeration.
Petr Pavlu ran a small test to get a better understanding of the
different section sizes resulting from this patch series. He used
v6.17-rc6 together with the openSUSE x86_64 config [1], which is fairly
large. The resulting vmlinux.bin (no debuginfo) had an on-disk size of
58 MiB, and included 5937 + 6589 (GPL-only) exported symbols.
The following table summarizes his measurements and calculations
regarding the sizes of all sections related to exported symbols:
| HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS | !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS
Section | Base [B] | Ext. [B] | Sep. [B] | Base [B] | Ext. [B] | Sep. [B]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
__ksymtab | 71244 | 200416 | 150312 | 142488 | 400832 | 300624
__ksymtab_gpl | 79068 | NA | NA | 158136 | NA | NA
__kcrctab | 23748 | 50104 | 50104 | 23748 | 50104 | 50104
__kcrctab_gpl | 26356 | NA | NA | 26356 | NA | NA
__ksymtab_strings | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628
__kflagstab | NA | NA | 12526 | NA | NA | 12526
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total | 454044 | 504148 | 466570 | 604356 | 704564 | 616882
Increase to base [%] | NA | 11.0 | 2.8 | NA | 16.6 | 2.1
The column "HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS -> Base" contains the measured
numbers. The rest of the values are calculated. The "Ext." column
represents an alternative approach of extending __ksymtab to include a
bitset of symbol flags, and the "Sep." column represents the approach of
having a separate __kflagstab. With HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, each
kernel_symbol is 12 B in size and is extended to 16 B. With
!HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, it is 24 B, extended to 32 B. Note that
this does not include the metadata needed to relocate __ksymtab*, which
is freed after the initial processing.
Adding __kflagstab as a separate section has a negligible impact, as
expected. When extending __ksymtab (kernel_symbol) instead, the worst
case with !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS increases the export data size
by 16.6%. Note that the larger increase in size for the latter approach
is due to 4-byte alignment of kernel_symbol data structure, instead of
1-byte alignment for the flags bitset in __kflagstab in the former
approach.
Based on the above, it was concluded that introducing __kflagstab makes
sense, as the added complexity is minimal over extending kernel_symbol,
and there is overall simplification of symbol finding logic in the

asm-generic/bitsperlong.h: Add sanity checks for __BITS_PER_LONG
The value of __BITS_PER_LONG from architecture-specific logic should
always match the generic one if that is available. It should also match
the actual C type 'long'.
Mismatches can happen for example when building the compat vDSO. Either
during the compilation, see commit

hrtimer: Push reprogramming timers into the interrupt return path
Currently hrtimer_interrupt() runs expired timers, which can re-arm themselves, after which it computes the next expiration time and re-programs the hardware. However, things like HRTICK, a highres timer driving preemption, cannot re-arm itself at the point of running, since the next task has not been determined yet. The schedule() in the interrupt return path will switch to the next task, which then causes a new hrtimer to be programmed. This then results in reprogramming the hardware at least twice, once after running the timers, and once upon selecting the new task. Notably, *both* events happen in the interrupt. By pushing the hrtimer reprogram all the way into the interrupt return path, it runs after schedule() picks the new task and the double reprogram can be avoided.

mshv: Introduce hv_deposit_memory helper functions
Introduce hv_deposit_memory_node() and hv_deposit_memory() helper functions to handle memory deposit with proper error handling. The new hv_deposit_memory_node() function takes the hypervisor status as a parameter and validates it before depositing pages. It checks for HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY specifically and returns an error for unexpected status codes. This is a precursor patch to new out-of-memory error codes support.

The build-time check for these was originally added by Sam Ravnborg in linux-2.6.28, and a later version started warning for all newly added CONFIG_* checks here but kept a list of known exceptions. With the last exceptions gone from that list, the warning is now unconditional in 'make headers_install'. John Garry contributed a cleanup of cpumask_of_node(). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEo6/YBQwIrVS28WGKmmx57+YAGNkFAmmLZAEACgkQmmx57+YA GNlvfQ//fIzdyYgAMMwV5JuRbODjzE3nUtOwHjCEF9IJfgO0sNdJ/qPSmiZJY8ic vcvrX1C+5G6Mck3/RTsOMemC36sTX9/V0+v06lgktmol2ZrOzzyXV7bCQhHrNdyd OnV3MKZkJOMvAzmdVo21GqQe9O0iG9nUfwJOPMO9B/4p8SePnlbvgrDAJZfVM9QB uDvjtLNySFhAhxnuAhSoDNTE+ssRDWO5q5pvHnKMyqwJFMaEFqadf1OU9Jrvmnw2 pv15TqgHuAYCMaDlAGF/9IagbKJBFFnR0KP/19YtHuFAKhGxBbClZ0MlM/BlJIRC poxs0V4a9KCJDIvUaLYwz5kLpaEObLLWNSdnbrPvm2ZCw9LZH3uUVHbBrcjX+Vrq 0KT2nUW+1y6qKkFetchLM6CIo6+QzWM2Jb18j0X3QX89w/7S4Ki/JBK/QeK85SOT uTleUblTZbafhYMlvQthKTclR/IPs/mxHsgEi7VhfethFUP7qCExeUTBFyUnme4m FdCmSdTXSGE+UiJZyTTRHMppDU3rXz15yBbHt2/wImimIjBKXDfvBT2DVKy4KTmO /zvwXizcPwiSV058xxOnv+w6aLe2t2mMGd7OOwBP4r7Nm/rxOI4jERhdUX4NO/Zl mgnsbUEx+CDKa8gB2JxK1hihciHDW9ICps5ne7yuhe7ccAGCjps= =A57a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'asm-generic-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic Pull asm-generic header updates from Arnd Bergmann: "A series from Thomas Weißschuh cleans up the UAPI header files to no longer contain any references to Kconfig symbols, as these make no sense in userspace.

Performance events changes for v7.0:
x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs.
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's
been a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to
replace the Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
(Dapeng Mi)
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for
Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs, which center around these
four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and
each IMH die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA,
UBR, PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
(Zide Chen)
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang
and Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL)
CPUs, which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code. (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- core: Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary
cross CPU calls. (Jan H. Schönherr)
- core: Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks
(Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize
the unwinding code for other architectures. (Jens Remus)
Uprobes updates:
- Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)
- Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)
- Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)
- x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)
- x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)
- x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)

mm: convert __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config
For architectures that define __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE, the page tables at the pmd/pud level are generally not of struct ptdesc type, and do not have pt_rcu_head member, thus these architectures cannot support PT_RECLAIM. In preparation for enabling PT_RECLAIM on more architectures, convert __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config, so that we can make conditional judgments in Kconfig.

atomic: specify alignment for atomic_t and atomic64_t
Some recent commits incorrectly assumed 4-byte alignment of locks. That
assumption fails on Linux/m68k (and, interestingly, would have failed on
Linux/cris also). The jump label implementation makes a similar alignment
assumption.
The expectation that atomic_t and atomic64_t variables will be naturally
aligned seems reasonable, as indeed they are on 64-bit architectures. But
atomic64_t isn't naturally aligned on csky, m68k, microblaze, nios2,
openrisc and sh. Neither atomic_t nor atomic64_t are naturally aligned on
m68k.
This patch brings a little uniformity by specifying natural alignment for
atomic types. One benefit is that atomic64_t variables do not get split
across a page boundary. The cost is that some structs grow which leads to
cache misses and wasted memory.

bpf: explicitly align bpf_res_spin_lock
Patch series "Align atomic storage", v7. This series adds the __aligned attribute to atomic_t and atomic64_t definitions in include/linux and include/asm-generic (respectively) to get natural alignment of both types on csky, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc and sh. This series also adds Kconfig options to enable a new run-time warning to help reveal misaligned atomic accesses on platforms which don't trap that. The performance impact is expected to vary across platforms and workloads. The measurements I made on m68k show that some workloads run faster and others slower. This patch (of 4): Align bpf_res_spin_lock to avoid a BUILD_BUG_ON() when the alignment changes, as it will do on m68k when, in a subsequent patch, the minimum alignment of the atomic_t member of struct rqspinlock gets increased from 2 to 4. Drop the BUILD_BUG_ON() as it becomes redundant.

rqspinlock: Fix TAS fallback lock entry creation
The TAS fallback can be invoked directly when queued spin locks are
disabled, and through the slow path when paravirt is enabled for queued
spin locks. In the latter case, the res_spin_lock macro will attempt the
fast path and already hold the entry when entering the slow path. This
will lead to creation of extraneous entries that are not released, which
may cause false positives for deadlock detection.
Fix this by always preceding invocation of the TAS fallback in every
case with the grabbing of the held lock entry, and add a comment to make
note of this.
Fixes:

Detect unused tracepoints for v6.19:
If a tracepoint is defined but never used (TRACE_EVENT() created but no
trace_<tracepoint>() called), it can take up to or more than 5K of memory
each. This can add up as there are around a hundred unused tracepoints with
various configs. That is 500K of wasted memory.
Add a make build parameter of "UT=1" to have the build warn if an unused
tracepoint is detected in the build. This allows detection of unused
tracepoints to be upstream so that outreachy and the mentoring project can
have new developers look for fixing them, without having these warnings
suddenly show up when someone upgrades their kernel. When all known unused
tracepoints are removed, then the "UT=1" build parameter can be removed and
unused tracepoints will always warn. This will catch new unused tracepoints
after the current ones have been removed.
- Separate out elf functions from sorttable.c
Move out the ELF parsing functions from sorttable.c so that the tracing
tooling can use it.
- Add a tracepoint verifier tool to the build process
If "UT=1" is added to the kernel command line, any unused tracepoints will
trigger a warning at build time.
- Do not warn about unused tracepoints for tracepoints that are exported
There are sever cases where a tracepoint is created by the kernel and used
by modules. Since there's no easy way to detect if these are truly unused
since the users are in modules, if a tracepoint is exported, assume it
will eventually be used by a module. Note, there's not many exported
tracepoints so this should not be a problem to ignore them.
- Have building of modules also detect unused tracepoints
Do not only check the main vmlinux for unused tracepoints, also check
modules. If a module is defining a tracepoint it should be using it.
- Add the tracepoint-update program to the ignore file
The new tracepoint-update program needs to be ignored by git.

A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which are
caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to invoke
the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each
context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which
sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch
and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also
requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is
executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic
uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic
entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the
context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the
fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only
required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is
allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial
thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually
improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held
time and therefore contention goes down significantly.

to work with the x86 #UD based WARN-optimizing infrastructure
by hiding the format in the bug_table and replacing this
first argument with the address of the bug-table entry,
while making the actual function that's called a UD1 instruction.

objtool updates for v6.19:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build
script to generate livepatch modules using a
source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree
kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for
many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels.
However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates
hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve
the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
specials such as alternatives:

This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
specials such as alternatives:

Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
permission checks during path lookup and adds the
IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC flag so filesystems like btrfs can avoid
expensive permission work.
- Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.
- Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.
Cleanups:
- Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved
code generation.
- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.
- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.
- Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().
- Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
initrd code.
- Various typo fixes.
Fixes:
- Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path
never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency
sync.
- Use local kmap in watch_queue's post_one_notification().
- Add hint prints in sb_set_blocksize() for LBS dependency on THP"

rqspinlock: Enclose lock/unlock within lock entry acquisitions
Ritesh reported that timeouts occurred frequently for rqspinlock despite
reentrancy on the same lock on the same CPU in [0]. This patch closes
one of the races leading to this behavior, and reduces the frequency of
timeouts.
We currently have a tiny window between the fast-path cmpxchg and the
grabbing of the lock entry where an NMI could land, attempt the same
lock that was just acquired, and end up timing out. This is not ideal.
Instead, move the lock entry acquisition from the fast path to before
the cmpxchg, and remove the grabbing of the lock entry in the slow path,
assuming it was already taken by the fast path. The TAS fallback is
invoked directly without being preceded by the typical fast path,
therefore we must continue to grab the deadlock detection entry in that
case.
Case on lock leading to missed AA:
cmpxchg lock A
<NMI>
... rqspinlock acquisition of A
... timeout
</NMI>
grab_held_lock_entry(A)
There is a similar case when unlocking the lock. If the NMI lands
between the WRITE_ONCE and smp_store_release, it is possible that we end
up in a situation where the NMI fails to diagnose the AA condition,
leading to a timeout.
Case on unlock leading to missed AA:
WRITE_ONCE(rqh->locks[rqh->cnt - 1], NULL)
<NMI>
... rqspinlock acquisition of A
... timeout
</NMI>
smp_store_release(A->locked, 0)
The patch changes the order on unlock to smp_store_release() succeeded
by WRITE_ONCE() of NULL. This avoids the missed AA detection described
above, but may lead to a false positive if the NMI lands between these
two statements, which is acceptable (and preferred over a timeout).
The original intention of the reverse order on unlock was to prevent the
following possible misdiagnosis of an ABBA scenario:
grab entry A
lock A
grab entry B
lock B
unlock B
smp_store_release(B->locked, 0)
grab entry B
lock B
grab entry A
lock A
! <detect ABBA>
WRITE_ONCE(rqh->locks[rqh->cnt - 1], NULL)
If the store release were is after the WRITE_ONCE, the other CPU would
not observe B in the table of the CPU unlocking the lock B. However,
since the threads are obviously participating in an ABBA deadlock, it
is no longer appealing to use the order above since it may lead to a
250 ms timeout due to missed AA detection.

mm: userfaultfd: add pgtable_supports_uffd_wp()
Some platforms can customize the PTE/PMD entry uffd-wp bit making it unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource. This patch adds a macro API pgtable_supports_uffd_wp() that allows architectures to define their specific implementations to check if the uffd-wp bit is available on which device the kernel is running. Also this patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of pgtable_supports_uffd_wp() and uffd_supports_wp_marker() checks respectively that default to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP) and "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP)" if not overridden by the architecture, no change in behavior is expected.
