11f00074f7 cgroup: Fixes for v7.1-rc2 
- During v6.19, cgroup task unlink was moved from do_exit() to after the
   final task switch to satisfy a controller invariant. That left the kernel
   seeing tasks past exit_signals() longer than userspace expected, and
   several v7.0 follow-ups tried to bridge the gap by making rmdir wait for
   the kernel side. None held up. The latest is an A-A deadlock when rmdir
   is invoked by the reaper of zombies whose pidns teardown the rmdir itself
   is waiting on, which points at the synchronizing approach being
   fundamentally wrong:
 
   - Take a different approach: drop the wait, leave rmdir's user-visible
     side returning as soon as cgroup.procs is empty, and defer the css
     percpu_ref kill that drives ->css_offline() until the cgroup is fully
     depopulated.
 
   - Tagged for stable. Somewhat invasive but contained. The hope is that
     fixing forward sticks. If not, the fallback is to revert the entire
     chain and rework on the development branch.
 
   - Doesn't plug a pre-existing analogous race in
     cgroup_apply_control_disable() (controller disable via subtree_control).
     Not a regression. The development branch will do the more invasive
     restructuring needed for that.
 
 - Documentation update for cgroup-v1 charge-commit section that still
   referenced functions removed when the memcg hugetlb try-commit-cancel
   protocol was retired.

d8769544bd docs: cgroup-v1: Update charge-commit section 
Commit 1d8f136a42 ("memcg/hugetlb: remove memcg hugetlb
try-commit-cancel protocol") removed mem_cgroup_commit_charge() and
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge(), but the docs still refer to those functions.
There is no longer any charge cancellation.

Update the docs to match the code.

3b3bea6d4b cgroup: Fixes for v7.1-rc1 
- Fix UAF race in psi pressure_write() against cgroup file release by
   extending cgroup_mutex coverage and ordering of->priv access after
   cgroup_kn_lock_live().
 
 - Fix integer overflow in rdmacg_try_charge() when usage equals INT_MAX
   by performing the increment in s64.
 
 - Fix asymmetric DL bandwidth accounting on cpuset attach rollback by
   recording the CPU used by dl_bw_alloc() so cancel_attach() returns
   the reservation to the same root domain.
 
 - Fix nr_dying_subsys_* race that briefly showed 0 in cgroup.stat after
   rmdir by incrementing from kill_css() instead of offline_css().
 
 - Typo fix in cgroup-v2 documentation.

64edfa6506 Delete some obsolete networking code 
Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden
 to core networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs
 in BKL-era code, and noobs try to fix them.
 
 If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
 this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted.
 We've talked about these deletions multiple times in the past
 and every time someone wanted the code to stay. It is never
 very clear to me how many of those people actually use the code
 vs are just nostalgic to see it go. Amateur radio did have
 occasional users (or so I think) but most users switched
 to user space implementations since its all super slow stuff.
 Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.
 
 We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC
 so we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of
 this code behind us.

dd8d4bc28a net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem 
Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation
and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree.
This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet,
and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx
of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree
to protect our sanity.

The code is moved to an out-of-tree repo:
https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan
if it's cleaned up and reworked there we can accept it back.

Minimal stub headers are kept for include/net/ax25.h (AX25_P_IP,
AX25_ADDR_LEN, ax25_address) and include/net/rose.h (ROSE_ADDR_LEN)
so that the conditional integration code in arp.c and tun.c continues
to compile and work when the out-of-tree modules are loaded.

36d179fd6b NFSD 7.1 Release Notes 
Benjamin Coddington contributed filehandle signing to defend against
 filehandle-guessing attacks. The server now appends a SipHash-2-4
 MAC to each filehandle when the new "sign_fh" export option is
 enabled. NFSD then verifies filehandles received from clients
 against the expected MAC; mismatches return NFS error STALE.
 
 Chuck Lever converted the entire NLMv4 server-side XDR layer from
 hand-written C to xdrgen-generated code, spanning roughly thirty
 patches. XDR functions are generally boilerplate code and are easy
 to get wrong. The goals of this conversion are improved memory
 safety, lower maintenance burden, and groundwork for eventual Rust
 code generation for these functions.
 
 Dai Ngo improved pNFS block/SCSI layout robustness with two related
 changes. SCSI persistent reservation fencing is now tracked per
 client and per device via an xarray, to avoid both redundant preempt
 operations on devices already fenced and a potential NFSD deadlock
 when all nfsd threads are waiting for a layout return.
 
 The remaining patches deliver scalability and infrastructure
 improvements. Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers,
 testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.1 NFSD
 development cycle.

0c13ed77dd Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/lru_sort: warn commit_inputs vs param updates race 
DAMON_LRU_SORT handles commit_inputs request inside kdamond thread,
reading the module parameters.  If the user updates the module
parameters while the kdamond thread is reading those, races can happen.
To avoid this, the commit_inputs parameter shows whether it is still in
the progress, assuming users wouldn't update parameters in the middle of
the work.  Some users might ignore that.  Add a warning about the
behavior.

The issue was discovered in [1] by sashiko.

0beba407d4 Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/reclaim: warn commit_inputs vs param updates race 
Patch series "Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon: warn commit_inputs vs other
params race".

Writing 'Y' to the commit_inputs parameter of DAMON_RECLAIM and
DAMON_LRU_SORT, and writing other parameters before the commit_inputs
request is completely processed can cause race conditions.  While the
consequence can be bad, the documentation is not clearly describing that. 
Add clear warnings.

The issue was discovered [1,2] by sashiko.

01f492e181 Arm: 
- Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which
   should help both debugging and performance analysis.  This uses the
   new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed
   by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came through the
   tracing tree.
 
 - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting
   point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM.
 
 - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are unmapped
   from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can be shared back
   from the guest using pKVM hypercalls.  Protected guests are created
   using a new machine type identifier.  As the elusive guestmem has not
   yet delivered on its promises, anonymous memory is also supported.
 
   This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
   example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet isolated.
   Because this does not really yet bring fully what it promises, it is
   hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST + 'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and
   also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is created.  Caveat emptor.
 
 - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
   maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
   various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable.
 
 - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables
   on a per-VM basis.
 
 - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow.
 
 - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
   generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
   to very bad HW lockups.
 
 - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases.
 
 - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
   SMCCC calls.
 
 - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn.
 
 LoongArch:
 
 - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel().
 
 - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support.
 
 RISC-V:
 
 - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks
 
 - Fix vector context allocation leak
 
 - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()
 
 - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()
 
 - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()
 
 - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()
 
 - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging
 
 - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging
 
 - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core
 
 - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests
 
 - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources
 
 - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config
 
 - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources
 
 - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space
 
 s390:
 
 - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors.
 
 - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed anymore with
   the new gmap code.
 
 - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking event
   address register).
 
 x86:
 
 - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before they

 - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in
   the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and
   thus write all bytes.
 
 - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the
   target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage.
 
 x86 generic:
 
 - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more precisely
   struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack bugs where KVM
   would dereference stack pointer after an exit to userspace.
 
 - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to
   maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier").
 
 - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of VMX
   and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O.
 
 - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions
 
 - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of
   KVM's headers that is included multiple times.
 
 - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
   exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
   trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
   unintentionally crashing the VM.
 
 - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec.
 
 - Misc hardening and cleanup changes.
 
 x86 (AMD):
 
 - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it per-vCPU
   so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
   vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs.
 
 - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which KVM would
   overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel.
   This should not be a problem because OSVW should usually be the same for
   all CPUs.
 
 - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a
   "too large" size based purely on user input.
 
 - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION.
 
 - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as
   doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an RMP violation
   page fault.
 
 - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries
   are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.  Fix various
   bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for the whole
   duration of a function or ioctl.
 
 - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard().
 
 - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD,
   for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6 as a response to ioctls such as
   KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the payload would end up in EXITINFO2
   rather than CR2, for example).  Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of
   the payload is imminent, but on the other hand force delivery of the
   payload in all paths where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6.
 
 - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT instead
   of vmcb02->save.cr2.  The value is out of sync after a save/restore
   or after a #PF is injected into L2.
 
 - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not
   synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not
   up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE.
 
 - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and
   KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after
   save+restore.
 
 - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on
   nested #VMEXIT.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for
   SVM-related instructions.
 
 - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM).
 
 - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully)
   make the code easier to maintain.
 
 - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard against
   unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM
   instructions.  There are remaining issues in that KVM doesn't handle size
   prefix overrides for 64-bit guests.
 
 - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of
   somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double down on AMD's
   architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP for "unsupported"
   addresses).
 
 - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs.
 
 x86 (Intel):
 
 - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros.
 
 - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
   register input when appropriate.
 
 - Code cleanups.
 
 guest_memfd:
 
 - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't support
   reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage to write
   back to.
 
 LoongArch selftests:
 
 - Add KVM PMU test cases
 
 s390 selftests:
 
 - Enable more memory selftests.
 
 x86 selftests:
 
 - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests.
 
 - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on AMD/Hygon
   CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP.
 
 - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test for a
   bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd folios against
   KVM's will.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Arm:

   - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
     which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This
     uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be
     exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came
     through the tracing tree

   - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
     starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM

   - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are
     unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can
     be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected
     guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the
     elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous
     memory is also supported

     This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
     example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
     isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
     promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
     'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
     created. Caveat emptor

   - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
     maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
     various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
     immutable

   - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
     tables on a per-VM basis

   - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
     follow

   - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
     generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
     to very bad HW lockups

   - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
     cases

   - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
     SMCCC calls

   - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn

  LoongArch:

   - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()

   - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support

  RISC-V:

   - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks

   - Fix vector context allocation leak

   - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()

   - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()

   - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()

   - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()

   - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging

   - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging

   - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core

   - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests

   - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources

   - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config

   - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources

   - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space

  s390:

   - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors

   - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
     anymore with the new gmap code

   - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
     event address register)

  x86:

   - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
     they were initialized

   - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
     hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in

 - The 2 patch series "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" from Oleg

 - The 27 patch series "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" from Christoph
   Hellwig is a quite far-reaching cleanup to this code.  I can't do better
   than to quote Christoph:
 
     The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
     now.  The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and
     not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in
     include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/
     header in theory.  The latter doesn't work for many cases, so
     architectures often build the code directly into 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.
 
 - The 2 patch series "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling
   workarounds" from Kuan-Wei Chiu cleans up this library code by removing
   a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually
   need.
 
 - The 5 patch series "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" from Christian
   Ehrhardt fixes a few bugs in the scatterlist code, adds in-kernel tests
   for the now-fixed bugs and fixes a leak in the test itself.
 
 - The 3 patch series "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support

91a4855d6c Networking changes for 7.1. 
Core & protocols
 ----------------
 
  - Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
    to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP.
 
  - Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining.
    Avoid output arguments for returning drop reason where possible.
 
  - Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata
    about the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints.
 
  - Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing.
 
  - Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
    itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
    thus making the table allocation size a power of two.
 
  - Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag.
 
  - Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the randomly
    selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space.
 
  - Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing.
 
  - Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter.
 
  - Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
    buffer size drifting up.
 
  - Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP.
 
  - Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
    This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage.
 
  - Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023).
 
  - Remove support for building IPv6 as a module.
    Remove the now unnecessary function calling indirection.
 
 Cross-tree stuff
 ----------------
 
  - Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless,
    it's considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it.
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
    object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.
    Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate.
 
  - Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
    switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
    walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex.
 
  - Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure.
 
  - Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable.
 
 Wireless
 --------
 
  - Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth.
 
  - Radar detection improvements.
 
  - Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs.
 
  - Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and
    client probing.
 
  - New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking,
    aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create
    fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink
    instances which span multiple PFs.
 
  - Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events
    (implement in mlx5 and fbnic).
 
  - Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering
    (implement in mana).
 
  - Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes.
 
  - Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x).
 
  - Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5).
 
 Misc
 ----
 
  - Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The biggest changes are MPAM enablement in drivers/resctrl and new PMU
  support under drivers/perf.

  On the core side, FEAT_LSUI lets futex atomic operations with EL0
  permissions, avoiding PAN toggling.

  The rest is mostly TLB invalidation refactoring, further generic entry
  work, sysreg updates and a few fixes.

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

Merge tag 'pm-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Once again, cpufreq is the most active development area, mostly
  because of the new feature additions and documentation updates in the
  amd-pstate driver, but there are also changes in the cpufreq core
  related to boost support and other assorted updates elsewhere.

  Next up are power capping changes due to the major cleanup of the
  Intel RAPL driver.

  On the cpuidle front, a new C-states table for Intel Panther Lake is
  added to the intel_idle driver, the stopped tick handling in the menu
  and teo governors is updated, and there are a couple of cleanups.

  Apart from the above, support for Tegra114 is added to devfreq and
  there are assorted cleanups of that code, there are also two updates
  of the operating performance points (OPP) library, two minor updates
  related to hibernation, and cpupower utility man pages updates and
  cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Update qcom-hw DT bindings to include Eliza hardware (Abel Vesa)

   - Update cpufreq-dt-platdev blocklist (Faruque Ansari)

   - Minor updates to driver and dt-bindings for Tegra (Thierry Reding,
     Rosen Penev)

   - Add MAINTAINERS entry for CPPC driver (Viresh Kumar)

   - Add support for new features: CPPC performance priority, Dynamic
     EPP, Raw EPP, and new unit tests for them to amd-pstate (Gautham
     Shenoy, Mario Limonciello)

   - Fix sysfs files being present when HW missing and broken/outdated
     documentation in the amd-pstate driver (Ninad Naik, Gautham Shenoy)

   - Pass the policy to cpufreq_driver->adjust_perf() to avoid using
     cpufreq_cpu_get() in the .adjust_perf() callback in amd-pstate
     which leads to a scheduling-while-atomic bug (K Prateek Nayak)

   - Clean up dead code in Kconfig for cpufreq (Julian Braha)

   - Remove max_freq_req update for pre-existing cpufreq policy and add
     a boost_freq_req QoS request to save the boost constraint instead
     of overwriting the last scaling_max_freq constraint (Pierre
     Gondois)

   - Embed cpufreq QoS freq_req objects in cpufreq policy so they all
     are allocated in one go along with the policy to simplify lifetime
     rules and avoid error handling issues (Viresh Kumar)

   - Use DMI max speed when CPPC is unavailable in the acpi-cpufreq
     scaling driver (Henry Tseng)

   - Switch policy_is_shared() in cpufreq to using cpumask_nth() instead
     of cpumask_weight() because the former is more efficient (Yury
     Norov)

   - Use sysfs_emit() in sysfs show functions for cpufreq governor
     attributes (Thorsten Blum)

   - Update intel_pstate to stop returning an error when "off" is
     written to its status sysfs attribute while the driver is already
     off (Fabio De Francesco)

   - Include current frequency in the debug message printed by
     __cpufreq_driver_target() (Pengjie Zhang)

   - Refine stopped tick handling in the menu cpuidle governor and
     rearrange stopped tick handling in the teo cpuidle governor (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Use performance level if available to distinguish between rates in
     OPP debugfs (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Fix scoped_guard in dev_pm_opp_xlate_required_opp() (Viresh Kumar)

   - Return -ENODATA if the snapshot image is not loaded (Alberto
     Garcia)

   - Remove inclusion of crypto/hash.h from hibernate_64.c on x86 (Eric
     Biggers)

   - Clean up and rearrange the intel_rapl power capping driver to make
     the respective interface drivers (TPMI, MSR, and MMOI) hold their
     own settings and primitives and consolidate PL4 and PMU support
     flags into rapl_defaults (Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan)

   - Correct kernel-doc function parameter names in the power capping
     core code (Randy Dunlap)

   - Remove unneeded casting for HZ_PER_KHZ in devfreq (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Use _visible attribute to replace create/remove_sysfs_files() in
     devfreq (Pengjie Zhang)

Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include an update of the CMOS RTC driver and the related ACPI
  and x86 code that, among other things, switches it over to using the
  platform device interface for device binding on x86 instead of the PNP
  device driver interface (which allows the code in question to be
  simplified quite a bit), a major update of the ACPI Time and Alarm
  Device (TAD) driver adding an RTC class device interface to it, and
  updates of core ACPI drivers that remove some unnecessary and not
  really useful code from them.

  Apart from that, two drivers are converted to using the platform
  driver interface for device binding instead of the ACPI driver one,
  which is slated for removal, support for the Performance Limited
  register is added to the ACPI CPPC library and there are some
  janitorial updates of it and the related cpufreq CPPC driver, the ACPI
  processor driver is fixed and cleaned up, and NVIDIA vendor CPER
  record handler is added to the APEI GHES code.

  Also, the interface for obtaining a CPU UID from ACPI is consolidated
  across architectures and used for fixing a problem with the PCI TPH
  Steering Tag on ARM64, there are two updates related to ACPICA, a
  minor ACPI OS Services Layer (OSL) update, and a few assorted updates
  related to ACPI tables parsing.

f0efd29aa6 doc: Add CPU Isolation documentation 
nohz_full was introduced in v3.10 in 2013, which means this
documentation is overdue for 13 years.

Fortunately Paul wrote a part of the needed documentation a while ago,
especially concerning nohz_full in Documentation/timers/no_hz.rst and
also about per-CPU kthreads in
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-per-CPU-kthreads.rst

Introduce a new page that gives an overview of CPU isolation in general.

15d49089e5 Documentation/kernel-parameters: fix architecture alignment for pt, nopt, and nobypass 
Commit ab0e7f2076 ("Documentation: Merge x86-specific boot options doc
into kernel-parameters.txt") introduced a formatting regression where
architecture tags were placed on separate lines with broken indentation.
This caused the 'nopt' [X86] parameter to appear as if it belonged to
the [PPC/POWERNV] section.

Furthermore, since the main 'iommu=' parameter heading already specifies
it is for [X86, EARLY], the subsequent standalone [X86] tags for 'pt',
'nopt', and the AMD GART options are redundant and clutter the
documentation.

Clean up the formatting by removing these redundant tags and properly
attributing the 'nobypass' option to [PPC/POWERNV].

6f1e182387 Docs/mm/damon: document min_nr_regions constraint and rationale 
The current DAMON implementation requires 'min_nr_regions' to be at least
3.  However, this constraint is not explicitly documented in the
admin-guide documents, nor is its design rationale explained in the design
document.

Add a section in design.rst to explain the rationale: the virtual address
space monitoring design needs to handle at least three regions to
accommodate two large unmapped areas.  While this is specific to 'vaddr',
DAMON currently enforces it across all operation sets for consistency.

Also update reclaim.rst and lru_sort.rst by adding cross-references to
this constraint within their respective 'min_nr_regions' parameter
description sections, ensuring users are aware of the lower bound.

This change is motivated from a recent discussion [1].

cedfa028b5 zram: remove chained recompression 
Chained recompression has unpredictable behavior and is not useful in
practice.

First, systems usually configure just one alternative recompression
algorithm, which has slower compression/decompression but better
compression ratio.  A single alternative algorithm doesn't need chaining.

Second, even with multiple recompression algorithms, chained recompression
is suboptimal.  If a lower priority algorithm succeeds, the page is never
attempted with a higher priority algorithm, leading to worse memory
savings.  If a lower priority algorithm fails, the page is still attempted
with a higher priority algorithm, wasting resources on the failed lower
priority attempt.

In either case, the system would be better off targeting a specific
priority directly.

Chained recompression also significantly complicates the code.  Remove it.

  - report: print the error report and continue (default).
  - oops: print the error report and oops.
  - panic: print the error report and panic.

In particular, the 'oops' mode offers a trade-off between no mitigation
on report and panicking outright (if panic_on_oops is not set).

Eliminate the `kho_finalize()` function and its associated state from the

Remove the `kho_finalize()` and `kho_finalized()` APIs and their stub
implementations.  Update KHO client code and the debugfs interface to no
longer call or depend on the `kho_finalize()` mechanism.

Complete the move towards a stateless KHO, simplifying the overall design
by removing unnecessary state management.

5ad41a38c3 mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pages 
Patch series "mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pages", v3.

In containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing
incompressible pages to zswap is essential for effective resource
management.  This series adds a new per-memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track
incompressible pages, along with a selftest.


This patch (of 2):

The global zswap_stored_incompressible_pages counter was added in commit
dca4437a58 ("mm/zswap: store <PAGE_SIZE compression failed page as-is")
to track how many pages are stored in raw (uncompressed) form in zswap. 
However, in containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is
contributing incompressible pages is essential for effective resource
management [1].

Add a new memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages per
cgroup.  This helps administrators and orchestrators to:

1. Identify workloads that produce incompressible data (e.g., encrypted
   data, already-compressed media, random data) and may not benefit from
   zswap.

2. Make informed decisions about workload placement - moving
   incompressible workloads to nodes with larger swap backing devices
   rather than relying on zswap.

3. Debug zswap efficiency issues at the cgroup level without needing to
   correlate global stats with individual cgroups.

While the compression ratio can be estimated from existing stats (zswap /
zswapped * PAGE_SIZE), this doesn't distinguish between "uniformly poor
compression" and "a few completely incompressible pages mixed with highly
compressible ones".  The zswap_incomp stat provides direct visibility into
the latter case.
