Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"The bulk of the changes here are related to refactoring and expanding
the KUnit tests for string helper and fortify behavior.
Some trivial strncpy replacements in fs/ were carried in my tree. Also
some fixes to SCSI string handling were carried in my tree since the
helper for those was introduce here. Beyond that, just little fixes
all around: objtool getting confused about LKDTM+KCFI, preparing for
future refactors (constification of sysctl tables, additional
__counted_by annotations), a Clang UBSAN+i386 crash fix, and adding
more options in the hardening.config Kconfig fragment.
Summary:
- selftests: Add str*cmp tests (Ivan Orlov)
- __counted_by: provide UAPI for _le/_be variants (Erick Archer)
- Various strncpy deprecation refactors (Justin Stitt)
- stackleak: Use a copy of soon-to-be-const sysctl table (Thomas
Weißschuh)
- UBSAN: Work around i386 -regparm=3 bug with Clang prior to
version 19
- Provide helper to deal with non-NUL-terminated string copying
- SCSI: Fix older string copying bugs (with new helper)

CONFIG_BASE_FULL is equivalent to !CONFIG_BASE_SMALL and is enabled by
default: CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is the special case to take care of.
So, remove CONFIG_BASE_FULL and move the config choice to
CONFIG_BASE_SMALL (which defaults to 'n')
For defconfigs explicitely disabling BASE_FULL, explicitely enable
BASE_SMALL.
For defconfigs explicitely enabling BASE_FULL, drop it as it is the
default.

CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is currently a type int but is only used as a boolean.
So, change its type to bool and adapt all usages:
CONFIG_BASE_SMALL == 0 becomes !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BASE_SMALL) and
CONFIG_BASE_SMALL != 0 becomes IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BASE_SMALL).

LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT default value depends on BASE_SMALL:
config LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
default 12 if !BASE_SMALL
default 0 if BASE_SMALL
But, BASE_SMALL is a config of type int and "!BASE_SMALL" is always
evaluated to true whatever is the value of BASE_SMALL.
This patch fixes this by using the correct conditional operator for int
type : BASE_SMALL != 0.
Note: This changes CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=12 to
CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=0 for BASE_SMALL defconfigs, but that will
not be a big impact due to this code in kernel/printk/printk.c:
/* by default this will only continue through for large > 64 CPUs */
if (cpu_extra <= __LOG_BUF_LEN / 2)
return;
Systems using CONFIG_BASE_SMALL and having 64+ CPUs should be quite
rare.

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
data_page wants to be NUL-terminated and NUL-padded, use strscpy_pad to
provide both of these. data_page no longer awkwardly relies on
init_mount to perform its NUL-termination, although that sanity check is
left unchanged.

arch_update_hw_pressure()
Now that cpufreq provides a pressure value to the scheduler, rename
arch_update_thermal_pressure into HW pressure to reflect that it returns
a pressure applied by HW (i.e. with a high frequency change) and not
always related to thermal mitigation but also generated by max current
limitation as an example. Such high frequency signal needs filtering to be
smoothed and provide an value that reflects the average available capacity
into the scheduler time scale.

On RISC-V and arm64, and presumably x86, if CFI_CLANG is enabled,
loading a rust module will trigger a kernel panic. Support for
sanitisers, including kcfi (CFI_CLANG), is in the works, but for now
they're nightly-only options in rustc. Make RUST depend on !CFI_CLANG
to prevent configuring a kernel without symmetrical support for kfi.
[ Matthew Maurer writes [1]:
This patch is fine by me - the last patch needed for KCFI to be
functional in Rust just landed upstream last night, so we should
revisit this (in the form of enabling it) once we move to
`rustc-1.79.0` or later.
Ramon de C Valle also gave feedback [2] on the status of KCFI for
Rust and created a tracking issue [3] in upstream Rust. - Miguel ]

There is a space at the end of extra_init_args. In the current logic,
copying extra_init_args to saved_command_line will cause extra spaces
in saved_command_line here or there. Remove the trailing space from
extra_init_args to make the string in saved_command_line look more perfect.

When trying to migrate to using bootconfig to embed the kernel's and
PID1's command line with the kernel image itself, and so allowing
changing that without modifying the bootloader, I noticed that
/proc/cmdline changed from e.g.
console=ttymxc0,115200n8 cma=128M quiet -- --log-level=notice
to
console="ttymxc0,115200n8" cma="128M" quiet -- --log-level="notice"
The kernel parameters are parsed just fine, and the quotes are indeed
stripped from the actual argv[] given to PID1. However, the quoting
doesn't really serve any purpose and looks excessive, and might
confuse some (naive) userspace tool trying to parse /proc/cmdline. So
do not quote the value unless it contains whitespace.

We allocate memory of size 'xlen + strlen(boot_command_line) + 1' for
static_command_line, but the strings copied into static_command_line are
extra_command_line and command_line, rather than extra_command_line and
boot_command_line.
When strlen(command_line) > strlen(boot_command_line), static_command_line
will overflow.
This patch just recovers strlen(command_line) which was miss-consolidated
with strlen(boot_command_line) in the commit f5c7310ac73e ("init/main: add

If the "bootconfig" kernel command-line argument was specified or if
the kernel was built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE, but if there are
no embedded kernel parameter, omit the "# Parameters from bootloader:"
comment from the /proc/bootconfig file. This will cause automation
to fall back to the /proc/cmdline file, which will be identical to the

If a member of a cpio archive for an initrd or initrams is larger than
2Gb, we'll eventually fail to write to that file when we get to that
limit, unless O_LARGEFILE is set.
The problem can be seen with this recipe, assuming that BLK_DEV_RAM
is not configured:
cd /tmp
dd if=/dev/zero of=BIGFILE bs=1048576 count=2200
echo BIGFILE | cpio -o -H newc -R root:root > initrd.img
kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) --initrd=initrd.img --reuse-cmdline
kexec -e
The console will show 'Initramfs unpacking failed: write error'. With
the patch, the error is gone.

This was originally part of commit 4b9a68f2e59a0 ("rust: add support for
static synchronisation primitives") from the old Rust branch, which used
module constructors to initialize globals containing various
synchronisation primitives with pin-init. That commit has never been
upstreamed, but the `select CONSTRUCTORS` statement ended up being
included in the patch that initially added Rust support to the Linux
Kernel.
We are not using module constructors, so let's remove the select.

If a misfit task is affined to a subset of the possible CPUs, we need to
verify that one of these CPUs can fit it. Otherwise the load balancer
code will continuously trigger needlessly leading the balance_interval
to increase in return and eventually end up with a situation where real
imbalances take a long time to address because of this impossible
imbalance situation.
This can happen in Android world where it's common for background tasks
to be restricted to little cores.
Similarly if we can't fit the biggest core, triggering misfit is
pointless as it is the best we can ever get on this system.
To be able to detect that; we use asym_cap_list to iterate through
capacities in the system to see if the task is able to run at a higher
capacity level based on its p->cpus_ptr. We do that when the affinity
change, a fair task is forked, or when a task switched to fair policy.
We store the max_allowed_capacity in task_struct to allow for cheap
comparison in the fast path.
Improve check_misfit_status() function by removing redundant checks.
misfit_task_load will be 0 if the task can't move to a bigger CPU. And
nohz_balancer_kick() already checks for cpu_check_capacity() before
calling check_misfit_status().
Test:
=====
Add
trace_printk("balance_interval = %lu\n", interval)
in get_sd_balance_interval().
run
if [ "$MASK" != "0" ]; then
adb shell "taskset -a $MASK cat /dev/zero > /dev/null"
fi
sleep 10
// parse ftrace buffer counting the occurrence of each valaue
Where MASK is either:
* 0: no busy task running
* 1: busy task is pinned to 1 cpu; handled today to not cause
misfit
* f: busy task pinned to little cores, simulates busy background
task, demonstrates the problem to be fixed
Results:
========
Note how occurrence of balance_interval = 128 overshoots for MASK = f.

MASK=0
1 balance_interval = 175
120 balance_interval = 128

When a static_key is marked ro_after_init, its state will never change
(after init), therefore jump_label_update() will never need to iterate
the entries, and thus module load won't actually need to track this --
avoiding the static_key::next write.
Therefore, mark these keys such that jump_label_add_module() might
recognise them and avoid the modification.
Use the special state: 'static_key_linked(key) && !static_key_mod(key)'
to denote such keys.
jump_label_add_module() does not exist under CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n, so the
newly-introduced jump_label_init_ro() can be defined as a nop for that
configuration.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter:
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.
BPF:
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.
Wireless:
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API:
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc:
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation.
The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
- It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
- The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is
in the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology
evaluation.
- The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and
guest specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in
case of XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
- The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
- There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing
up the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which
needs to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if
that would be possible.
- The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is
incomprehensible and overly complex and needs to be kept around
after boot instead of completing this right after the APIC
enumeration.
This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
- Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors
and provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform
way independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module,
..., Die, Package) so that this information can be computed instead
of rewriting global variables of dubious value over and over.
- A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
- Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries
to find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at
registration time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run
on the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent
sending INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset
the whole machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command
line parameter, which does not even work in nested crash
scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and
prevents the late registration of APICs, which was somehow
tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the
parsers and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV]
handling so it can use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows
for cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout
due to a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the
admission logic further"

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are
significant and invasive.
- During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are
more topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved
workqueue behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, commit
636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu
pool_workqueues") switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU
frontend pool_workqueues as a part of increasing front-back mapping
flexibility.
An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max
concurrency enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of
allowed concurrent executions. I incorrectly assumed that this
wouldn't cause practical problems as most unbound workqueue users
are self-regulate max concurrency; however, there definitely are
which don't (e.g. on IO paths) and the drastic increase in the
allowed max concurrency led to noticeable perf regressions in some
use cases.
This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement
to a separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active
consistently mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the
number of CPUs or (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive
and, in places, a bit clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from
the the inherent requirement to handle the disagreement between the
execution locality domain and max concurrency enforcement domain on
some modern machines.
See commit 5797b1c18919 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide
nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues") for more details.
- BH workqueue support is added.
They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but execute work items in
the softirq context. This is expected to replace tasklet. However,
currently, it's missing the ability to disable and enable work
items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the
next merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the
couple conversion patches that are currently pending.
- Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation
where ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates.
Ordered workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound
workqueues.
- More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in
workqueue isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect
wq_unbound_cpumask. Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on
isolated CPUs.

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner:
- Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but
not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply
had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that
need support for this.
This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that
flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific
thread.
In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with
CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before.
A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that
refers to a thread-group leader:
(1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified
when the task has exited.
For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group
leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its
thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the
thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the
thread-group exits.
For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread exits.
(2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does.
Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does.
The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type
of the pidfd.
Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided
pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to
pidfd_send_signal():
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD
Send a thread-specific signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP
Send a thread-group directed signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP
Send a process-group directed signal.
The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually
used for this scope.
For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the
provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and
similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be
used as a process group leader.
- Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo
filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do
simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes.
Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds
to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by
inode number which are unique for the system lifetime.
Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash
it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts
that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed.
A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that
file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds.
Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same
struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple
times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same
inode.
The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace
exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no
complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always
deleted when the last pidfd is closed.
We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse
that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct
pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not
selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs.
The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic
infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The
path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location,
an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be
used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open().
The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided
stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a
new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location.
If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the
newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the
same namespace or task are then able to reuse it.
- Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited,
i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We
now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying
userspace with EPOLLHUP.
- Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead
of the confusing EBADF.
- Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
- Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
- Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
- Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
- Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
times.
- Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
- Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
insensitive operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to
remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
odd behaviors.
Cleanups:
- Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
- Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
- Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
filemap code.
- The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
fs/
- It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
extraction. Remove it.
- Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
case.
- Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
- Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
be made static as it's only used in that one file.
- Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
saves a bit of time for the same workload.
- Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
kmem_cache_create().
- Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
- Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
- Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes:
- Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
- Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
- Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
- Fix build errors in various selftests.
- Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
- Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
idmapped mounts.
- Fix sysv sb_read() call.
- Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

The synchronization here is to ensure the ordering of freeing of a module
init so that it happens before W+X checking. It is worth noting it is not
that the freeing was not happening, it is just that our sanity checkers
raced against the permission checkers which assume init memory is already
gone.
Commit 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moved calling
do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of relying on it being
called through call_rcu(..., do_free_init), which used to allowed us call
do_free_init() asynchronously after the end of a subsequent grace period.
The move to a global workqueue broke the gaurantees for code which needed
to be sure the do_free_init() would complete with rcu_barrier(). To fix
this callers which used to rely on rcu_barrier() must now instead use
flush_work(&init_free_wq).
Without this fix, we still could encounter false positive reports in W+X
checking since the rcu_barrier() here can not ensure the ordering now.
Even worse, the rcu_barrier() can introduce significant delay. Eric
Chanudet reported that the rcu_barrier introduces ~0.1s delay on a
PREEMPT_RT kernel.
[ 0.291444] Freeing unused kernel memory: 5568K
[ 0.402442] Run /sbin/init as init process

This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny
pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will
unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the
very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny
pseudo filesystem allows:
* statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time.
* pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode
numbers.
* pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime.
* struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of
file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce
concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been
closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close.
* file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds.
* Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct
pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In
contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even
if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new
inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple
different inodes.
The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly
like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex
inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when
the last pidfd is closed.
We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for
all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the
inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each
pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes
which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're
talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent
openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on
two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same
struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with
that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't
have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always
deleted.
The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we
fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a
similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.

This was already defined locally by init/main.c, but let's make
it generic, as arch/x86/kernel/cpu/topology.c is going to make
use of it to have more uniform code.

Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring
that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop()
results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far
enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making
it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them
to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming
more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such
deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce.
In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time
(for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an
RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could
just as well take advantage of that fact.
This commit therefore initializes the data structures that will be needed
to rely on these quiescent states and to eliminate these deadlocks.

Currently, KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE automatically because crash codes
need be built in to avoid compiling error when building kexec code even
though the crash dumping functionality is not enabled. E.g
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
After splitting out crashkernel reservation code and vmcoreinfo exporting
code, there's only crash related code left in kernel/crash_core.c. Now
move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it
in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y.
And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope,
or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
ifdef in generic kernel files.
With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and
can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.

Since commit 3570ee046c46b5dc ("s390/smp: keep the original lowcore for
CPU 0"), there is no longer any architecture that needs to override
arch_call_rest_init().
Remove the weak wrapper around rest_init(), call rest_init() directly, and
make rest_init() static.

All architectures using the core ptdump functionality also implement
CONFIG_DEBUG_WX, and they all do it more or less the same way, with a
function called debug_checkwx() that is called by mark_rodata_ro(), which
is a substitute to ptdump_check_wx() when CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is set and a
no-op otherwise.
Refactor by centrally defining debug_checkwx() in linux/ptdump.h and call
debug_checkwx() immediately after calling mark_rodata_ro() instead of
calling it at the end of every mark_rodata_ro().
On x86_32, mark_rodata_ro() first checks __supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_NX
before calling debug_checkwx(). Now the check is inside the callee
ptdump_walk_pgd_level_checkwx().
On powerpc_64, mark_rodata_ro() bails out early before calling
ptdump_check_wx() when the MMU doesn't have KERNEL_RO feature. The check
is now also done in ptdump_check_wx() as it is called outside
mark_rodata_ro().

'def_bool X' is a shorthand for 'bool' plus 'default X'.
'def_bool' is redundant where 'bool' is already present, so 'def_bool X'
can be replaced with 'default X', or removed if X is 'n'.
