The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice as
we nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table()
was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now just
open code and move the implementation over to what used to be
to __register_sysctl_paths().
The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point to
sysctl_table_root.default_set.
The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in the
routine register_sysctl_paths() with a static:
static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} };
Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routine
and remove its use as its always empty.
This saves us a total of 230 bytes.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the
rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which
incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration
process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been
soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.
I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves
instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since
when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end
up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve
saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring
the end element being empty, and just have our registration process
rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls
would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and
maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0].
Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations
also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use
recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.
And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove
them:
- register_sysctl_table()
- register_sysctl_paths()
During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of
this merge window.
Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this
pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.
As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.
The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.
Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
just kept the stragglers after rc3"

The command `ps -ef ` and `top -c` mark kernel thread by '[' and ']', but
sometimes the result is not correct. The task->flags in /proc/$pid/stat
is good, but we need remember the value of PF_KTHREAD is 0x00200000 and
convert dec to hex. If we have no binary program and shell script which
read /proc/$pid/stat, we can know it directly by `cat /proc/$pid/status`.

This adds the general_profit KSM sysfs knob and the process profit metric
knobs to ksm_stat.
1) expose general_profit metric
The documentation mentions a general profit metric, however this
metric is not calculated. In addition the formula depends on the size
of internal structures, which makes it more difficult for an
administrator to make the calculation. Adding the metric for a better
user experience.
2) document general_profit sysfs knob
3) calculate ksm process profit metric
The ksm documentation mentions the process profit metric and how to
calculate it. This adds the calculation of the metric.
4) mm: expose ksm process profit metric in ksm_stat
This exposes the ksm process profit metric in /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.
The documentation mentions the formula for the ksm process profit
metric, however it does not calculate it. In addition the formula
depends on the size of internal structures. So it makes sense to

When !CONFIG_SHMEM smaps_shmem_walk_ops is defined but not used,
triggering a compiler warning. To avoid the warning remove the #ifdef
around the usage. This has no effect because shmem_mapping() is a stub
returning false when !CONFIG_SHMEM so the code will be compiled out,
however we now need to also provide a stub for shmem_swap_usage().

Update the docs for __register_sysctl_table() to make it clear no child
entries can be passed. When the child is true these are non-leaf entries
on the ctl table and sysctl treats these as directories. The point to
__register_sysctl_table() is to deal only with directories not part of
the ctl table where thay may riside, to be simple and avoid recursion.
While at it, hint towards using long on extra1 and extra2 later.

Having previously laid the foundation for converting vread() to an
iterator function, pull the trigger and do so.
This patch attempts to provide minimal refactoring and to reflect the
existing logic as best we can, for example we continue to zero portions of
memory not read, as before.
Overall, there should be no functional difference other than a performance
improvement in /proc/kcore access to vmalloc regions.
Now we have eliminated the need for a bounce buffer in read_kcore_iter(),
we dispense with it, and try to write to user memory optimistically but
with faults disabled via copy_page_to_iter_nofault(). We already have
preemption disabled by holding a spin lock. We continue faulting in until
the operation is complete.
Additionally, we must account for the fact that at any point a copy may
fail (most likely due to a fault not being able to occur), we exit
indicating fewer bytes retrieved than expected.

Patch series "convert read_kcore(), vread() to use iterators", v8.
While reviewing Baoquan's recent changes to permit vread() access to
vm_map_ram regions of vmalloc allocations, Willy pointed out [1] that it
would be nice to refactor vread() as a whole, since its only user is
read_kcore() and the existing form of vread() necessitates the use of a
bounce buffer.
This patch series does exactly that, as well as adjusting how we read the
kernel text section to avoid the use of a bounce buffer in this case as
well.
This has been tested against the test case which motivated Baoquan's
changes in the first place [2] which continues to function correctly, as
do the vmalloc self tests.
This patch (of 4):
Commit df04abfd181a ("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data")
introduced the use of a bounce buffer to retrieve kernel text data for
/proc/kcore in order to avoid failures arising from hardened user copies
enabled by CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY in check_kernel_text_object().
We can avoid doing this if instead of copy_to_user() we use
_copy_to_user() which bypasses the hardening check. This is more
efficient than using a bounce buffer and simplifies the code.
We do so as part an overall effort to eliminate bounce buffer usage in the
function with an eye to converting it an iterator read.

Currently the memtest results were only presented in dmesg.
When running a large fleet of devices without ECC RAM it's currently not
easy to do bulk monitoring for memory corruption. You have to parse
dmesg, but that's a ring buffer so the error might disappear after some
time. In general I do not consider dmesg to be a great API to query RAM
status.
In several companies I've seen such errors remain undetected and cause
issues for way too long. So I think it makes sense to provide a
monitoring API, so that we can safely detect and act upon them.
This adds /proc/meminfo entry which can be easily used by scripts.

untagged_addr() removes tags/metadata from the address and brings it to
the canonical form. The helper is implemented on arm64 and sparc. Both of
them do untagging based on global rules.
However, Linear Address Masking (LAM) on x86 introduces per-process
settings for untagging. As a result, untagged_addr() is now only
suitable for untagging addresses for the current proccess.
The new helper untagged_addr_remote() has to be used when the address
targets remote process. It requires the mmap lock for target mm to be
taken.

Back in 2008 we extended the capability bits from 32 to 64, and we did
it by extending the single 32-bit capability word from one word to an
array of two words. It was then obfuscated by hiding the "2" behind two
macro expansions, with the reasoning being that maybe it gets extended
further some day.
That reasoning may have been valid at the time, but the last thing we
want to do is to extend the capability set any more. And the array of
values not only causes source code oddities (with loops to deal with
it), but also results in worse code generation. It's a lose-lose
situation.
So just change the 'u32[2]' into a 'u64' and be done with it.
We still have to deal with the fact that the user space interface is
designed around an array of these 32-bit values, but that was the case
before too, since the array layouts were different (ie user space
doesn't use an array of 32-bit values for individual capability masks,
but an array of 32-bit slices of multiple masks).
So that marshalling of data is actually simplified too, even if it does
remain somewhat obscure and odd.
This was all triggered by my reaction to the new "cap_isidentical()"
introduced recently. By just using a saner data structure, it went from
unsigned __capi;
CAP_FOR_EACH_U32(__capi) {
if (a.cap[__capi] != b.cap[__capi])
return false;
}
return true;
to just being
return a.val == b.val;
instead. Which is rather more obvious both to humans and to compilers.

Currently proc_dobool expects a (bool *) in table->data, but sizeof(int)
in table->maxsize, because it uses do_proc_dointvec() directly.
This is unsafe for at least two reasons:
1. A sysctl table definition may use { .data = &variable, .maxsize =
sizeof(variable) }, not realizing that this makes the sysctl unusable
(see the Fixes: tag) and that they need to use the completely
counterintuitive sizeof(int) instead.
2. proc_dobool() will currently try to parse an array of values if given
.maxsize >= 2*sizeof(int), but will try to write values of type bool
by offsets of sizeof(int), so it will not work correctly with neither
an (int *) nor a (bool *). There is no .maxsize validation to prevent
this.
Fix this by:
1. Constraining proc_dobool() to allow only one value and .maxsize ==
sizeof(bool).
2. Wrapping the original struct ctl_table in a temporary one with .data
pointing to a local int variable and .maxsize set to sizeof(int) and
passing this one to proc_dointvec(), converting the value to/from
bool as needed (using proc_dou8vec_minmax() as an example).
3. Extending sysctl_check_table() to enforce proc_dobool() expectations.
4. Fixing the proc_dobool() docstring (it was just copy-pasted from
proc_douintvec, apparently...).
5. Converting all existing proc_dobool() users to set .maxsize to
sizeof(bool) instead of sizeof(int).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

Merge branch 'mm-hotfixes-stable' into mm-stable

Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs".
This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was
discussed in [1]. The following two patches address user visible behavior
caused by this issue.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9BF+OCdWnCSilEu@monkey/
This patch (of 2):
A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes
via a shared PMD. This is because only the first process increases the
map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their
page table.
page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or
private in /proc/PID/smaps. Pages referenced via a shared PMD were
incorrectly being counted as private.
To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found
count the hugetlb page as shared. A new helper to check for a shared PMD
is added.

is_nommu_shared_mapping()
Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings".
Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first
requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings.
CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings.
This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for
example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is
actually means.
Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in
MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead.
This patch (of 3):
We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for
clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs. VM_SHARED and reduce the
confusion. While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED,
!CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings
that are an effective overlay of a file mapping.
Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into
is_nommu_shared_mapping() first.
Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well
(unless there is a serious BUG). So there is not need to test for
VM_SHARED manually.
No functional change intended.

The file locking definitions have lived in fs.h since the dawn of time,
but they are only used by a small subset of the source files that
include it.
Move the file locking definitions to a new header file, and add the
appropriate #include directives to the source files that need them. By
doing this we trim down fs.h a bit and limit the amount of rebuilding
that has to be done when we make changes to the file locking APIs.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM64:
- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on (see merge
commit 382b5b87a97d: "Fix a number of issues with MTE, such as
races on the tags being initialised vs the PG_mte_tagged flag as
well as the lack of support for VM_SHARED when KVM is involved.
Patches from Catalin Marinas and Peter Collingbourne").
- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the
hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state
private.
- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB
pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB
pages.
- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
s390:
- Second batch of the lazy destroy patches
- First batch of KVM changes for kernel virtual != physical address
support
- Removal of a unused function
x86:
- Allow compiling out SMM support
- Cleanup and documentation of SMM state save area format
- Preserve interrupt shadow in SMM state save area
- Respond to generic signals during slow page faults
- Fixes and optimizations for the non-executable huge page errata
fix.
- Reprogram all performance counters on PMU filter change
- Cleanups to Hyper-V emulation and tests
- Process Hyper-V TLB flushes from a nested guest (i.e. from a L2
guest running on top of a L1 Hyper-V hypervisor)
- Advertise several new Intel features
- x86 Xen-for-KVM:
- Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary
- Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured
- Add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll
- Notable x86 fixes and cleanups:
- One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).
- Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped
a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when
switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.
- Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that
params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.
- Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL
irrespective of the current guest CPUID.
- Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM
incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a
CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC
frequency.
- Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported
- Remove unnecessary exports
Generic:
- Support for responding to signals during page faults; introduces
new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE flag that was reviewed by mm folks
Selftests:
- Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
running on bare metal.
- Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what
is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.
- Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests
- Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test.
- Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress".
- Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize
the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the memstress
tests.
- Add a common ucall implementation; code dedup and pre-work for
running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests.
- Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually
be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs.
Intel).
- A bunch of added/enabled/fixed selftests for ARM64, covering
memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking.
- x86-specific selftest changes:
- Clean up x86's page table management.
- Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a
related test to cover generic emulation failure.
- Clean up the nEPT support checks.
- Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.
- Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent
conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard
against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers
caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case,
effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs
before the test opts in via prctl().
Documentation:
- Remove deleted ioctls from documentation
- Clean up the docs for the x86 MSR filter.
- Various fixes"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add NMI-safe SRCU reader API. It uses atomic_inc() instead of
this_cpu_inc() on strong load-store architectures.
- Introduce new console_list_lock to synchronize a manipulation of the
list of registered consoles and their flags.
This is a first step in removing the big-kernel-lock-like behavior of
console_lock(). This semaphore still serializes console->write()
calbacks against:
- each other. It primary prevents potential races between early
and proper console drivers using the same device.
- suspend()/resume() callbacks and init() operations in some
drivers.
- various other operations in the tty/vt and framebufer
susbsystems. It is likely that console_lock() serializes even
operations that are not directly conflicting with the
console->write() callbacks here. This is the most complicated
big-kernel-lock aspect of the console_lock() that will be hard
to untangle.
- Introduce new console_srcu lock that is used to safely iterate and
access the registered console drivers under SRCU read lock.
This is a prerequisite for introducing atomic console drivers and
console kthreads. It will reduce the complexity of serialization
against normal consoles and console_lock(). Also it should remove the
risk of deadlock during critical situations, like Oops or panic, when
only atomic consoles are registered.
- Check whether the console is registered instead of enabled on many
locations. It was a historical leftover.
- Cleanly force a preferred console in xenfb code instead of a dirty
hack.
- A lot of code and comment clean ups and improvements.

When VM_LOCKONFAULT was added, /proc/PID/smaps wasn't hooked up to it, so
looking at /proc/PID/smaps, it shows '??' instead of something
intelligable. This can be reached by userspace by simply calling
`mlock2(..., MLOCK_ONFAULT);`.
Fix this by adding "lf" to denote VM_LOCKONFAULT.

The console_list_lock should be used because list synchronization
responsibility will be removed from the console_lock in a later
change.
Note, the console_lock is still needed to serialize the device()

The console_lock is held throughout the start/show/stop procedure
to print out device/driver information about all registered
consoles. Since the console_lock is being used for multiple reasons,
explicitly document these reasons. This will be useful when the
console_lock is split into fine-grained locking.

Since commit 9a10064f5625 ("mm: add a field to store names for private
anonymous memory"), name for private anonymous memory, but not shared
anonymous, can be set. However, naming shared anonymous memory just as
useful for tracking purposes.
Extend the functionality to be able to set names for shared anon.
There are two ways to create anonymous shared memory, using memfd or
directly via mmap():
1. fd = memfd_create(...)
mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED, fd, ...)
2. mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, ...)
In both cases the anonymous shared memory is created the same way by
mapping an unlinked file on tmpfs.
The memfd way allows to give a name for anonymous shared memory, but
not useful when parts of shared memory require to have distinct names.
Example use case: The VMM maps VM memory as anonymous shared memory (not
private because VMM is sandboxed and drivers are running in their own
processes). However, the VM tells back to the VMM how parts of the memory
are actually used by the guest, how each of the segments should be backed
(i.e. 4K pages, 2M pages), and some other information about the segments.
The naming allows us to monitor the effective memory footprint for each
of these segments from the host without looking inside the guest.
Sample output:
/* Create shared anonymous segmenet */
anon_shmem = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
/* Name the segment: "MY-NAME" */
rv = prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME,
anon_shmem, SIZE, "MY-NAME");
cat /proc/<pid>/maps (and smaps):
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 [anon_shmem:MY-NAME]
If the segment is not named, the output is:
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 /dev/zero (deleted)
