6439079365 Probes updates for v7.3:
- probes: Advanced BTF typecasting and variable fetch enhancements
   . Typecast support across probe events: Extended BTF typecasting syntax
     (e.g., (STRUCT)PARAM->MEMBER) to kprobes, uprobes, and fprobes on
     function entry and return.
   . Nested typecasts: Added support for chaining and nesting typecasts up
     to 3 levels, including casting registers and stack variables.
   . Field specifier option: Added (STRUCT,FIELD) syntax to emulate
     container_of(), allowing retrieval of parent structures from member
     pointers.
   . $current variable support: Introduced $current special variable to
     access the running task_struct via BTF dereferencing.
   . Per-CPU variable access: Added this_cpu_read() and this_cpu_ptr()
     fetcharg methods to trace CPU-local data safely.
   . Fetcharg bytecode dumper: Added CONFIG_PROBE_EVENTS_DUMP_FETCHARG to
     dump the compiled fetcharg bytecode instructions as comments in
     dynamic_events.
   . Extended symbol name handling: Removed the MAX_COMMON_HEAD_LEN limit
     and extended MAX_ARGSTR_LEN to 256 bytes, enabling probing of long
     symbols, mangled Rust symbols and complex BTF expressions.
   . eprobe variable syntax: Allowed eprobes to reference event fields
     directly without requiring a '$' prefix.
   . Cleanup unused parameters, redundant codes, duplicate macros and
     pointer arithmetic.
   . Use a ternary operator for simplifying fetch_type_from_btf_type().
 
 - bootconfig / boottime-trace: Expanded dynamic probe support
   . Added boot-time tracing configuration support for event probes
     (eprobes), function probes (fprobes), and tracepoint probes
     (tprobes).
   . ftrace2bootconfig: Allowed comment lines ('#') in dynamic_events file.
 
 - fprobe / kprobe: Optimization, robustness, and cleanups
   . fprobe: Simplified fprobe_remove_ips() by reusing graph and ftrace
     helpers.
   . fprobe: Removed __packed attribute from struct __fprobe_header to avoid
     unaligned memory access penalties on RISC architectures.
   . kprobe & fprobe: Removed redundant memset() calls in perf event probe
     handlers.
   . kprobes: Replaced legacy __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in header
     files.
 
 - selftests & refactoring:
   . Refactored parse_probe_arg() and parse_probe_vars(), and eliminated
     recursion in probe argument parsing to protect kernel stack depth.
   . Added selftests for BTF typecasts and module probing without module
     prefixes.
   . Forced LC_ALL=C in ftracetest to prevent test failures on localized
     systems.
   . Refactored btf_type_skip_modifiers() to remove ignored id parameter.
   . Sorted ERRORS list in trace_probe.h alphabetically.
   . Fixed typo in fprobe docs, and trace_fprobe function name.
   . Renamed FETCH_OP_DATA to FETCH_OP_IMMSTR.
   . Made file offset error message probe-agnostic.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:

 - Drop BUG_ON() assertions from two functions

   While I don't recall any bug reports from either of these assertions
   in recent memory, neither of these checks warrant the kernel panic
   that could result from BUG_ON(). One of the BUG_ON() calls is
   converted to a WARN_ON_ONCE() and the other to a lockdep assertion.

 - Fix an audit tree reference counting problem

   Fix a corner case where audit could end up unintentionally dropping
   the last reference to an audit tree while the tree was still in use.

   We should probably revisit the audit tree handling code in full, but
   this patch works, and should be easy to backport to stable trees and
   downstream kernels.

 - Update the audit syscall classification tables

   Add some missing syscalls to the PERM class

3424d8c18a Generic entry code updates:
- Make syscall user dispatching configurable
 
     Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow
     them to disable the feature completely.
 
   - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
     architectures using it.
 
     Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
     architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
     wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
     non-instrumentable constraints of that code.
 
     Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry
     code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right
     after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using
     architecture over.
 
   - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
     works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
     storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space
     handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code
     rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return
     value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive.
 
     Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch,
     ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall
     number through these mechanisms.
 
     This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a
     separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a
     tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both
     the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which
     cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by
     separating the storage model in the affected architectures.

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Make syscall user dispatching configurable

   Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
   Allow them to disable the feature completely.

 - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
   architectures using it.

   Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
   architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
   wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
   non-instrumentable constraints of that code.

   Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
   entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
   point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
   code using architecture over.

 - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
   works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
   storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
   space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
   code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
   return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
   intuitive.

   Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
   dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
   syscall number through these mechanisms.

   This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
   a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
   a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
   both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
   which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
   addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
   architectures.

But the symbols are completely hidden in that case, making ugly

Always provide the enum definitions.

4ad87eee54 preempt: Introduce __preempt_count_{sub,add}_return()
In order to use preempt_count() to track the interrupt disable nesting
level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as their names
suggest, these primitives return the new value of the preempt_count()
after changing it. The following example shows the usage of it in
local_interrupt_disable():

	// increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit
	new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET);

	// if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt
	// at hardware level.
	if ((new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK) == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) {
		local_irq_save(flags);
		raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state, flags);
	}

Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after
changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.

f7e2cb6d49 locking/qspinlock: Add contended_release tracepoint
Unlike mutex and rw_semaphore, qspinlock has no owner field, so "perf
lock contention --lock-owner" cannot attribute a contended spinlock to
its holder. The waiter-side contention_begin event records that a
spinlock is contended, but not by whom. Firing contended_release in the
holder's context at unlock is the only way to capture the holder of a
contended spinlock.

Combine the contention check, trace call and release in an out-of-line
queued_spin_release_traced() so the compiler need not preserve the lock
pointer in a callee-saved register across the call.

The check in queued_spin_unlock() is paid on every unlock, even while
the tracepoint is disabled: a static-branch NOP on x86_64, and a few
more instructions to manage a stack frame elsewhere. Gate it behind
CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_TRACE_CONTENDED_RELEASE (default n) so nobody
pays for a tracepoint they do not use. Sleeping locks fire
contended_release regardless.

On x86 this generic path is used only with PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n (e.g.
defconfig). PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y kernels keep the paravirt static_call
unlock and are wired up separately.

All below are with the QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_TRACE_CONTENDED_RELEASE option
enabled.

_raw_spin_unlock(), x86_64 defconfig, GCC 11, tracepoint compiled in but
disabled. The unlock is the single 'movb'. The only instruction added to
the executed path is the 2-byte static-branch NOP. The CALL to the
traced helper and the JMP back are emitted out of line and are reached
only once the static branch is patched on:

          endbr64                            ; 4 bytes
          xchg   %ax,%ax                     ; 2 static-branch NOP
                                             ;   (added)
          movb   $0x0,(%rdi)                 ; 3 unlock (single store)
       A: decl   %gs:__preempt_count         ; 7
          je     B                           ; 2
          jmp    __x86_return_thunk          ; 5
          call   queued_spin_release_traced  ; 5 out of line, reached
                                             ;   only when the
                                             ;   tracepoint is on
          jmp    A                           ; 2 (added)
       B: call   __SCT__preempt_schedule     ; 5
          jmp    __x86_return_thunk          ; 5

Baseline is the same stream without the NOP and the out-of-line
CALL/JMP: 31 bytes vs 40 (+9 bytes).

Binary size impact on x86_64, defconfig: +680 bytes (+0.00%), since all
standard configs out-of-line unlock. Architectures with inlined unlock
(s390 (always), csky and loongarch (both when !PREEMPTION)) will see a
bigger increase in binary size.

On the same path (x86_64, PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n) with the tracepoint
disabled, a _raw_spin_unlock()-heavy nginx workload [1] shows no
measurable difference between baseline and patched kernels in
throughput, latency, cycles, instructions, IPC, or L1 instruction-cache
misses (kernel and total): all deltas stay within run-to-run noise.

Unlike x86, on arm64 the frame setup code (STP, MOV and LDP) lands on
the executed path in addition to static-branch NOP. Binary size impact
on arm64, defconfig: +932 bytes (+0.00%).

The _raw_spin_unlock()-heavy nginx workload reflects the larger hot
path: L1 instruction-cache misses rise ~1.4% (kernel and total) and
instruction count ~0.4%, consistent with the per-unlock frame.
cpu_cycles, throughput and latency show no measurable change and are
within run-to-run noise.

Architectures with fully custom qspinlock implementations (e.g.
PowerPC) are not covered by this change.

216c6c67f7 locking: Factor out queued_spin_release()
The contended_release tracepoint needs to hook queued_spin_unlock(), but
architectures with a custom unlock define queued_spin_unlock() directly,
leaving no single generic place to add the tracing.

Introduce queued_spin_release() as the arch-overridable release
primitive and make queued_spin_unlock() a generic wrapper around it.
An architecture that only customizes the release can then override
queued_spin_release() and inherit the generic wrapper.

Rename the MIPS override to queued_spin_release() accordingly. x86
paravirt overrides queued_spin_unlock() directly and is left unchanged.

No functional change intended.

029223d301 objtool/klp: Add .klp.symid for sympos disambiguation
Livepatch identifies a duplicate-named symbol by its position (sympos)
among same-named kallsyms entries, which for vmlinux are counted in
ascending address order in the final linked kernel.  That order can't be
reliably derived from vmlinux.o: the final link reorders sub-sections
(.text.unlikely*, .data..*, etc).

Bridge the gap with a new .klp.symid section which can be used to
correlate symbols between vmlinux.o and vmlinux so that klp-diff can
reliably determine the sympos.

The table can't survive --gc-sections: keeping it alive would keep every
duplicate-named symbol's section alive, so the reference kernel would
stop matching the one which ships.  klp-build rejects
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION instead.  Nothing is lost today:
x86_64 is the only HAVE_KLP_BUILD arch and doesn't select
HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, arm64 and s390 have never selected
it either, and on powerpc, it's still EXPERIMENTAL and disabled by every
distro kernel.

This is the build-time half of reliable vmlinux sympos computation;
"objtool klp diff" will consume the table in a subsequent commit.

Runtime constify the read-only after init data  __futex_shift(shift_32),

hot path to avoid referencing global variable.

This also allows __futex_queues to be allocated dynamically to

(1 << CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT) worth of slots upfront.

Runtime constants are initialized before their first access and
runtime_const_init() provides necessary barrier to ensure subsequent

1c61b0a6e5 bitops: make the *_bit_le functions use unsigned long
The *_bit_le functions use a signed integer for the bit number.
However, the *_bit functions can use an unsigned long. This causes
problems if there is a large bitmap and a bit number > 0x80000000 is
passed in. Since that is a negative int, it will get sign extended to a
long when getting passed to the *_bit function, turning it into a huge
bit number. This usually ends up with the memory address wrapping around
and the function accessing memory before the start of the bitmap.

Avoid this by making the *_bit_le functions take an unsigned long.

This can be triggered by faking an almost 4TB dm-mirror device, which
uses bitmaps to track the mirror regions:

$ dmsetup create bigzero --table '0 8589934590 zero'
$ dmsetup create mymirror --table '0 8589934590 mirror core 2 2 nosync 2 /dev/mapper/bigzero 0 /dev/mapper/bigzero 0'

This will access memory before the start of the sync_bits bitmap, and
likely hit the guard page of the previously allocated clean_bits bitmap,
causing a kernel panic with the old code.

I looked and didn't see any crazy code using the signed int to
intentionally try and access bits before some address within the bitmap.

dfc256dac5 calibrate: Rework delay timer calibration
The header define in asm/timex,h and the naming of the function to read the
delay timer are confusing at best.

Convert it to a config switch selected by the archictures which provide the
functionality and rename the function to delay_read_timer(), which makes
the purpose clear. Move the declaration to linux/delay.h where it belongs.

Remove the resulting empty asm/timex.h files as well.

No functional change.

622f04e974 ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry()
The return value of that function is boolean and tells the caller whether
to permit the syscall processing or not.

Rename the function so the purpose is clear and make the return type bool.

ffd9dada63 kprobes: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in header file
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now
on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers.

c0d73c0938 audit: add missing syscalls to PERM class tables
Add missing file metadata syscalls to the audit PERM class tables,
addressing gaps where certain file operations were not properly
classified for audit rule matching.

Changes:
- audit_change_attr.h: Add file_setattr

- audit_read.h: Add quotactl_fd, file_getattr, stat, stat64, lstat,
  lstat64, fstat, fstat64, newfstatat, fstatat64, and statx

- audit_write.h: Add quotactl_fd

Architecture-specific and conditionally-compiled syscalls are guarded
with #ifdef.

 Patchsets in this merge:
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity"
   from Li Wang removes some noise from the MM selftests build out.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently"
   from Ryan Roberts speeds up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by
   first scanning them for coalescing opportunities.  This is applicable to
   vfree() and to the releasing of frozen pages.
 
 - The 11 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota
   charge ratio" from SeongJae Park addresses a DAMOS usability issue: The
   DAMOS quota often exhausts prematurely because it charges for all memory
   attempted, causing slow and inconsistent performance when actions fail
   on unreclaimable memory.
 
   To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
   charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
   Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
   ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing
 
 - The 8 patch series "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness
   and support large page sizes" from Li Wang fixes various spurious
   failures and improves the overall robustness of the cgroup zswap
   selftests.
 
 - The 3 patch series "fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno" from
   Anthony Yznaga fixes an issue in the mlock selftests on arm32.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: huge_memory: clean up defrag sysfs with

   code.
 
 - The 3 patch series "treewide: fixup gfp_t printks" from Brendan
   Jackman uses the special vprintf() gfp_t conversion in various places.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and
   initialization" from Muchun Song fixes several bugs in the vmemmap
   optimization, mainly around incorrect page accounting and memmap
   initialization in the DAX and memory hotplug paths.  It also fixes
   pageblock migratetype initialization and struct page initialization for
   ZONE_DEVICE compound pages.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: repost non-hotfix reviewed patches in
   damon/next tree" from is a sprinkle of unrelated minor bugfixes for
   DAMON.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: remove page_mapped()" from David Hildenbrand
   remove this function from the tree, replacing it with folio_mapped().
 
 - The 10 patch series "mm/damon: let DAMON be paused and resumed" from
   SeongJae Park permits DAMON to be paused and resumed without losing its
   current state.
 
 - The 3 patch series "kasan: hw_tags: Disable tagging for stack and
   page-tables" from Muhammad Usama Anjum simplifies and speeds up kasan by
   removing its ineffective tagging of stacks and page tables.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon/reclaim,lru_sort: monitor all system rams
   by default" from SeongJae Park simplifies deployment on diverse hardware
   like NUMA systems by updating DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to
   automatically monitor the physical address range covering all System RAM
   areas by default, replacing the overly restrictive behavior that only
   targeted the single largest memory block to save on negligible overhead.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as
   deprecated" from SeongJae Park updates some DAMON docs.
 
 - The 8 patch series "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock" from Dmitry
   Ilvokhin switches zone->lock handling over to using the guard()
   mechanisms.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/filemap: tighten mmap_miss hit accounting" from
   fujunjie fixes a flaw where the mmap_miss counter over-credited page
   cache hits during fault-arounds and page-fault retries.  This results in
   significant reduction of redundant synchronous mmap readahead I/O,
   drastically cutting down execution time and gigabytes read for sparse
   random or strided memory access workloads.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/cgroup: Fix false positive failures in
   test_percpu_basic" from Li Wang fixes a couple of false-positives in the
   cgroup kmem selftests.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/reclaim: support monitoring intervals
   auto-tuning" from SeongJae Park adds a new parameter to DAMON permitting
   DAMON_RECLAIM to automatically tune DAMON's sampling and aggregation
   intervals.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter" from
   SeongJae Park chnges DAMON_STAT to provide the pid of its kdamond.

   verbose-mode kmemleak output.
 
 - The 8 patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)"
   from David Hildenbrand reduces our use of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
   with a view to removing it entirely in a later series.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of
   2" from Liew Rui Yan prevents users from passing a non-power-of-2 value
   of `addr_unit', as this later results in undesirable behavior.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: document read_pages and simplify usage" from
   Frederick Mayle does as claimed.
 
 - The 3 patch series "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs" from Ye Liu
   fixes three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series" from
   Brendan Jackman implements several cleanups in the page allocator and
   related code.
 
 - The 12 patch series "mm, swap: swap table phase IV: unify allocation"
   from Kairui Song unifies the allocation and charging of anon and shmem
   swap in folios, provides better synchronization, consolidates the
   metadata management, hence dropping the static array and map, and
   improves performance.
 
 - The 28 patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes monitoring"
   from SeongJae Park extends DAMON for monitoring general data attributes
   other than accesses.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc: free unused pages on vrealloc()
   shrink" from Shivam Kalra implements the TODO in vrealloc() to unmap and
   free unused pages when shrinking across a page boundary.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/damon: documentation and comment fixes" from
   niecheng does as advertised.
 
 - The 3 patch series "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes eliminates custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the
   problematic success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access
   uninitialized VMAs.  It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code
   field and updates the memory char driver accordingly.
 
 - The 14 patch series "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability
   and tests" from SeongJae Park implements minor improvements in code
   readability and tests for DAMON.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: fix macro arguments and clarify quota
   goals doc" from Maksym Shcherba does those things.
 
 - The 2 patch series "userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into
   mm/userfaultfd.c" from Mike Rapoport performs that code movement.
 
 - The 15 patch series "mm/mglru: improve reclaim loop and dirty folio"
   from Kairui Song and others cleans up and slightly improves MGLRU's
   reclaim loop and dirty writeback handling.  Large performance
   improvements are measured.
 
 - The 3 patch series "use vma locks for proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps}
   reads" from Suren Baghdasaryan uses per-vma locks when reading
   /proc/pid/smaps and /proc/pid/numa_maps similar to reduce contention on
   central mmap_lock.
 
 - The 2 patch series "refactors thpsize_shmem_enabled_store() and
   thpsize_shmem_enabled_show()" from Ran Xiaokai provides some cleanup
   work in the THP code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/memfd: fix compilation warnings" from
   Konstantin Khorenko fixes a few build glitches in the memfd selftest
   code.
 
 - The 4 patch series "memcg: shrink obj_stock_pcp and cache multiple
   objcgs" from Shakeel Butt resolves a 68% performance regression caused
   by NUMA-node cache thrashing around struct obj_stock_pcp by shrinking
   its existing fields and expanding it into a multi-slot array that caches
   up to five obj_cgroup pointers per CPU, allowing per-node variants of
   the same memcg to coexist within a single 64-byte cache line.
 
 - The 2 patch series "zram: writeback fixes" from Sergey Senozhatsky
   addresses a couple of unrelated zram writeback issues.
 
 - The 9 patch series "mm: switch THP shrinker to list_lru" from Johannes
   Weiner resolves NUMA-awareness issues and streamlines callsite
   interaction by refactoring and extending the list_lru API to completely
   replace the complex, open-coded deferred split queue for Transparent
   Huge Pages (THPs).
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: improve large folio readahead for exec memory"
   from Usama Arif improves large-folio readahead on systems like 64K-page
   arm64 by preventing the mmap_miss check from permanently disabling
   target-oriented VM_EXEC readahead, and by generalizing the
   force_thp_readahead gate to support mappings with any usefully large
   maximum folio order under the cache cap.
 
 - The 6 patch series "userfaultfd/pagemap: pre-existing fixes" from
   Kiryl Shutsemau fixes a bunch of minor issues in the
   userfaultfd/pagemap, all of which were flagged by Sashiko review of
   proposed new material.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Provide generic
   vmemmap_set_pmd() and vmemmap_check_pmd()" from Muchun Song provides
   generic versions of these two functions so the four arch-specific
   implementations can be removed.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race in
   uswsusp by pinning swap device" from Youngjun Park addresses a
   uswsusp-vs-swapoff race and reduces the swap device reference
   taking/releasing frequency.

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
 "Major changes:

   - Recover from BPF arena page faults using a scratch page and add
     ptep_try_set() for lockless empty-slot installs on x86 and arm64.

     This allows BPF kfuncs to access arena pointers directly.

     The 'arena_direct_access' stable branch was created for this work
     and was pulled into sched-ext and bpf-next trees (Tejun Heo, Kumar
     Kartikeya Dwivedi)

   - Lift old restriction and support 6+ arguments in BPF programs and
     kfuncs on x86 and arm64 (Yonghong Song, Puranjay Mohan)

  Other features and fixes:

   - Add 24-bit BTF vlen and reclaim unused bits in the BTF UAPI to ease
     addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)

   - Raise the maximum BPF call chain depth from 8 to 16 frames (Alexei
     Starovoitov)

   - Refactor object relationship tracking in the verifier and fix a
     dynptr use-after-free bug (Amery Hung)

   - Harden the signed program loader and reject exclusive maps as inner
     maps (Daniel Borkmann)

   - Replace the verifier min/max bounds fields with a circular number
     (cnum) representation and improve 32->64 bit range refinements
     (Eduard Zingerman)

   - Introduce the arena library and runtime (libarena) with a buddy
     allocator, rbtree and SPMC queue data structures, ASAN support and
     a parallel test harness. Allow subprograms to return arena pointers
     and switch to a BTF type-tag based __arena annotation (Emil
     Tsalapatis)

   - Cache build IDs in the sleepable stackmap path and avoid faultable
     build ID reads under mm locks (Ihor Solodrai)

   - Introduce the tracing_multi link to attach a single BPF program to
     many kernel functions at once. Allow specifying the uprobe_multi
     target via FD (Jiri Olsa)

   - Extend the bpf_list family of kfuncs with bpf_list_add/del(), and
     bpf_list_is_first/is_last/empty() (Kaitao Cheng)

   - Extend the BPF syscall with common attributes support for
     prog_load, btf_load and map_create (Leon Hwang)

   - Wrap rhashtable as BPF map (Mykyta Yatsenko, Herbert Xu)

   - Add sleepable support for tracepoint programs and fix deadlocks in
     LRU map due to NMI reentry (Mykyta Yatsenko)

   - Fix OOB access in bpf_flow_keys, fix nullness analysis of inner
     arrays, enforce write checks for global subprograms (Nuoqi Gui)

   - Report the maximum combined stack depth and print a breakdown of
     instructions processed per subprogram (Paul Chaignon)

   - Add an XDP load-balancer benchmark and arm64 JIT support for stack
     arguments (Puranjay Mohan)

   - Add kfuncs to traverse over wakeup_sources (Samuel Wu)

   - Allow sleepable BPF programs to use LPM trie maps directly (Vlad
     Poenaru)

   - Many more fixes and cleanups across the verifier, BTF, sockmap,
     devmap, bpffs, security hooks, s390/riscv/loongarch JITs,

764e77d868 Locking updates for v7.2:
Futex updates:
 
  - Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real,
    by Thomas Gleixner:
 
     "The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect
      to the clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending
      pointer because unlock and clearing the pointer are not
      atomic. The race window is between the unlock and clearing the
      pending op pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this
      window, exit will access a potentially invalid pending op
      pointer when cleaning up the robust list. That happens if
      another task manages to unmap the object containing the lock
      before the cleanup, which results in an UAF. In the worst case
      this UAF can lead to memory corruption when unrelated content
      has been mapped to the same address by the time the access
      happens.
 
      User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
      This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
      along:
 
       1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
          contended case
 
       2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
          fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted
          within the critical section.

b48bd16eb9 rqspinlock: Fix order in raw_res_spin_(un)lock_irq to allow schedule
raw_res_spin_unlock_irqrestore() calls raw_res_spin_unlock() and then
restores interrupts, this means preemption is enabled when interrupts
are still disabled (as part of raw_res_spin_unlock()) so this cannot
trigger an actual preemption.
This is inconsistent with other spinlock implementations
(raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() and bpf_res_spin_unlock_irqrestore()
itself).

Adjust the macro to ensure interrupts are enabled before enabling
preemption, allowing to schedule at that point. Make the same
modification in the error path of raw_res_spin_lock_irqsave().

kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for Propeller
The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.

Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control
Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies
the kconfig and avoids potential confusion.

Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

The Propeller documentation has been updated to reflect the most
recent tool location and now includes instructions for arm64.

c06cd66387 percpu: Sanitize __percpu_qual include hell
Slapping __percpu_qual into the next available header is sloppy at best.

It's required by __percpu which is defined in compiler_types.h and that is
meant to be included without requiring a boatload of other headers so that
a struct or function declaration can contain a __percpu qualifier w/o
further prerequisites.

This implicit dependency on linux/percpu.h makes that impossible and causes
a major problem when trying to separate headers.

Create asm/percpu_types.h and move it there. Include that from
compiler_types.h and the whole recursion problem goes away.

Fix up UM so it uses the generic header and includes it in the UM_HOST
build, which pulls in compiler_types.h. The USER_CFLAGS fix was suggested
by Richard.

cb19b8a9ad locking/qspinlock: Clarify pending field layout
For CONFIG_NR_CPUS < 16K, _Q_PENDING_BITS is 8 and the pending
field occupies bits 8-15 of the lock word. The current comment
documents bit 8 as pending and bits 9-15 as unused, which describes
the pending flag value rather than the field layout.

Describe bits 8-15 as the pending byte so the layout description
is consistent with the lock byte.

c02be2ad2b uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selection
The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline
implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly.  However,
all arches enable or disable them always together.

Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other
outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone.

Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

d46644af76 mm: skip KASAN tagging for page-allocated page tables
Page tables are always accessed via the linear mapping with a match-all
tag, so HW-tag KASAN never checks them.  For page-allocated tables (PTEs
and PGDs etc), avoid the tag setup and poisoning overhead by using
__GFP_SKIP_KASAN.  SLUB-backed page tables are unchanged for now.  (They
aren't widely used and require more SLUB related skip logic.  Leave it
later.)

a494d3c8d5 ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

307abfac04 kprobes: skip non-symbol addresses in kprobe_add_ksym_blacklist()
When kprobe_add_area_blacklist() iterates through a section like
.kprobes.text, the start address may not correspond to a named symbol.
On ARM64 with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y (introduced by
commit baaf553d3b ("arm64: Implement
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS")), the compiler flag
-fpatchable-function-entry=4,2 inserts 2 NOPs before each function entry
point for ftrace call_ops. These pre-function NOPs sit at the section base
address, before the first named function symbol. The compiler emits a $x
mapping symbol at offset 0x00 to mark the start of code, but
find_kallsyms_symbol() ignores mapping symbols.

Without CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS (e.g. defconfig), no
pre-function NOPs are inserted, the first function starts at offset
0x00, and the bug does not trigger.

This only affects modules that have a .kprobes.text section (i.e. those
using the __kprobes annotation). Modules using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead
(like kretprobe_example.ko) blacklist exact function addresses via the
_kprobe_blacklist section and are not affected.

For kprobe_example.ko on ARM64 with -fpatchable-function-entry=4,2,
the .kprobes.text section layout is:

  offset 0x00: $x + 2 NOPs    (mapping symbol + ftrace preamble)
  offset 0x08: handler_post   (64 bytes)
  offset 0x50: handler_pre    (68 bytes)

kprobe_add_area_blacklist() starts iterating from the section base
address (offset 0x00), which only has the $x mapping symbol.
kprobe_add_ksym_blacklist() then calls kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
for this address, which goes through:

  kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
    -> module_address_lookup()
      -> find_kallsyms_symbol()

find_kallsyms_symbol() scans all module symbols to find the closest
preceding symbol.

Since no named text symbol exists at offset 0x00,
find_kallsyms_symbol() picks __UNIQUE_ID_vermagic (a .modinfo symbol
whose address is in the temporary image) as the "best" match. The
computed "size" = next_text_symbol - modinfo_symbol spans across
these two unrelated memory regions, creating a blacklist entry with
a bogus range of tens of terabytes.

Whether this causes a visible failure depends on address randomization,
here is what happens on Raspberry Pi 4/5:

  - On RPi5, the bogus size was ~35 TB. start + size stayed within
    64-bit range, so the blacklist entry covered the entire kernel
    text. register_kprobe() in the module's own init function failed
    with -EINVAL.

  - On RPi4, the bogus size was ~75 TB. start + size overflowed
    64 bits and wrapped to a small address near zero. The range
    check (addr >= start && addr < end) then failed because end
    wrapped around, so the bogus entry was accidentally harmless
    and kprobes worked by luck.

The same bug exists on both machines, but randomization determines whether
the integer overflow masks it or not.

Fix this by adding notrace to the __kprobes macro. Functions in
.kprobes.text are kprobe infrastructure handlers that should never be
traced by ftrace. With notrace, the compiler stops inserting them and the
non-symbol gap at the section start disappears entirely.

5170a82e89 x86/hyperv: Skip LP/VP creation on kexec
After a kexec the logical processors and virtual processors already
exist in the hypervisor because they were created by the previous
kernel. Attempting to add them again causes either a BUG_ON or
corrupted VP state leading to MCEs in the new kernel.

Add hv_lp_exists() to probe whether an LP is already present by
calling HVCALL_GET_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_RUN_TIME. When it succeeds the
LP exists and we skip the add-LP and create-VP loops entirely.

Also add hv_call_notify_all_processors_started() which informs the
hypervisor that all processors are online. This is required after
adding LPs (fresh boot) and is a no-op on kexec since we skip that
path.

      the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
      code.

      Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
      architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
      Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
      that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
      smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
      here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
      overhead"

88b29f3f57 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.

Linus Torvalds
c1fe867b5b 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

1fb3d8c20b 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.

e20043b476 xor: make xor.ko self-contained in lib/raid/
Move the asm/xor.h headers to lib/raid/xor/$(SRCARCH)/xor_arch.h and
include/linux/raid/xor_impl.h to lib/raid/xor/xor_impl.h so that the
xor.ko module implementation is self-contained in lib/raid/.

As this remove the asm-generic mechanism a new kconfig symbol is added to
indicate that a architecture-specific implementations exists, and
xor_arch.h should be included.

c46928fdcf xor: move generic implementations out of asm-generic/xor.h
Move the generic implementations from asm-generic/xor.h to
per-implementaion .c files in lib/raid.  This will build them
unconditionally even when an architecture forces a specific
implementation, but as we'll need at least one generic version for the
static_call optimization later on we'll pay that price.

Note that this would cause the second xor_block_8regs instance created by
arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c to be generated instead of discarded as dead code,
so add a NO_TEMPLATE symbol to disable it for this case.
