2e171ab29f panic: add panic_force_cpu= parameter to redirect panic to a specific CPU
Some platforms require panic handling to execute on a specific CPU for
crash dump to work reliably.  This can be due to firmware limitations,
interrupt routing constraints, or platform-specific requirements where
only a single CPU is able to safely enter the crash kernel.

Add the panic_force_cpu= kernel command-line parameter to redirect panic
execution to a designated CPU.  When the parameter is provided, the CPU
that initially triggers panic forwards the panic context to the target CPU
via IPI, which then proceeds with the normal panic and kexec flow.

The IPI delivery is implemented as a weak function
(panic_smp_redirect_cpu) so architectures with NMI support can override it
for more reliable delivery.

If the specified CPU is invalid, offline, or a panic is already in
progress on another CPU, the redirection is skipped and panic continues on
the current CPU.

e700f5d156 watchdog: softlockup: panic when lockup duration exceeds N thresholds
The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic
immediately or never panic on soft lockups.

Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly
aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations. 
Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist
undetected.

Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N
watchdog threshold periods.  This provides finer-grained control to
distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures.

The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior)
- N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.)

The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups
while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

033724b1c6 dm-verity: add dm-verity keyring
Add a dedicated ".dm-verity" keyring for root hash signature
verification, similar to the ".fs-verity" keyring used by fs-verity.

By default the keyring is unused retaining the exact same old behavior.
For systems that provision additional keys only intended for dm-verity
images during boot, the dm_verity.keyring_unsealed=1 kernel parameter
leaves the keyring open.

We want to use this in systemd as a way add keys during boot that are
only used for creating dm-verity devices for later mounting and nothing
else. The discoverable disk image (DDI) spec at [1] heavily relies on
dm-verity and we would like to expand this even more. This will allow us
to do that in a fully backward compatible way.

Once provisioning is complete, userspace restricts and activates it for
dm-verity verification. If userspace fully seals the keyring then it
gains the guarantee that no new keys can be added.

2a11e1479e x86/acpi: Add acpi=spcr to use SPCR-provided default console
The SPCR provided console on x86 is only available as a boot console when
earlycon is provided on the kernel command line, and will not be present in
/proc/consoles.

While it's possible to retain the boot console with the keep_bootcon
parameter, that leaves the console using the less efficient 8250_early driver.

Users wanting to use the firmware suggested console (to avoid maintaining
unique serial console parameters for different server models in large fleets)
with the conventional driver have to parse the kernel log for the console
parameters and reinsert them.

  [    0.005091] ACPI: SPCR 0x000000007FFB5000 000059 (v04 ALASKA A M I    01072009 INTL 20250404)
  [    0.073387] ACPI: SPCR: console: uart,io,0x3f8,115200

In commit

  0231d00082 ("ACPI: SPCR: Make SPCR available to x86")¹

the SPCR console was only added as an option for earlycon but not as an
ordinary console so users don't see console output changes.

So users can opt in to an automatic SPCR console, make ACPI init add it if
acpi=spcr is set.

They have a different focus and purpose. To avoid wasting the time of
users trying to use one instead of the other, simply have them reference
each other in the Documentation.

842e7f97d7 x86/resctrl: Add energy/perf choices to rdt boot option
Legacy resctrl features are enumerated by X86_FEATURE_* flags. These may be
overridden by quirks to disable features in the case of errata.  Users can use
kernel command line options to either disable a feature, or to force enable
a feature that was disabled by a quirk.

A different approach is needed for hardware features that do not have an
X86_FEATURE_* flag.

Update parsing of the "rdt=" boot parameter to call the telemetry driver
directly to handle new "perf" and "energy" options that controls activation of
telemetry monitoring of the named type. By itself a "perf" or "energy" option
controls the forced enabling or disabling (with ! prefix) of all event groups
of the named type. A ":guid" suffix allows for fine grained control per event
group.

     designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot.
     This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors
     to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines.  LUO
     achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as
     memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
 
     As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file
     descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or
     any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec
     reboot.
 
   Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
   testing work.
 
 - The 3 patch series "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" from
   Sourabh Jain moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/
   to /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
   hopefully be removed one day.
 
 - The 2 patch series "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" from Mike
   Rapoport fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of
   vmalloc() regions.

83c8f7b5e1 mm/mm_init: Introduce a boot parameter for check_pages
Use-after-free and double-free bugs can be very difficult to track down.
The kernel is good at tracking these and preventing bad pages from being
used/created through simple checks gated behind "check_pages_enabled".

Currently, the only ways to enable this flag is by building with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, or as a side effect of other checks such as
init_on_{alloc, free}, page_poisoning, or debug_pagealloc among others.
These solutions are powerful, but may often be too coarse in balancing
the performance vs. safety that a user may want, particularly in
latency-sensitive production environments.

Introduce a new boot parameter "check_pages", which enables page checking
with no other side effects. It takes kstrbool-able inputs as an argument
(i.e. 0/1, true/false, on/off, ...). This patch is backwards-compatible;
setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM still enables page checking.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
  support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
  addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
  over.

  In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and
  intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
  Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
  bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
  JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.

  The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
  the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
  terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
  systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
  runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
  expected to be used during system shutdown.

  Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
  elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.

  Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
  debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
  intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core
  hibernation code.

f278809475 debugfs: Remove broken no-mount mode
debugfs access modes were added in Linux 5.10 (Dec 2020) [1], but the
no-mount mode has behaved effectively the same as the off mode since
Linux 5.12 (Apr 2021) [2]. The only difference is the specific error
code returned by the debugfs_create_* functions, which is -ENOENT in
no-mount mode and -EPERM in off mode.

Given that no-mount hasn't worked for several years with no complaints,
just remove it.

5b3a426aff powerpc/64s/slb: Add no_slb_preload early cmdline param
no_slb_preload cmdline can come useful in quickly disabling and/or
testing the performance impact of userspace slb preloads. Recently there
was a slb multi-hit issue due to slb preload cache which was very
difficult to triage. This cmdline option allows to quickly disable
preloads and verify if the issue exists in preload cache or somewhere
else. This can also be a useful option to see the effect of slb preloads
for any application workload e.g. number of slb faults with or w/o slb
preloads.

with slb_preload:
slb_faults (minimal initrd boot): 15
slb_faults (full systemd boot): 300

9544f9e694 hung_task: panic when there are more than N hung tasks at the same time
The hung_task_panic sysctl is currently a blunt instrument: it's all or
nothing.

Panicking on a single hung task can be an overreaction to a transient
glitch.  A more reliable indicator of a systemic problem is when
multiple tasks hang simultaneously.

Extend hung_task_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when N hung tasks are detected in a single scan. 
This provides finer control to distinguish between isolated incidents
and system-wide failures.

The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic on the first hung task (unchanged)
- N > 1: Panic after N hung tasks are detected in a single scan

The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility.

b4a96ab50f powerpc/kdump: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation
Commit 35c18f2933 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the
crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e0 ("kdump:
implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump
crashkernel reservation.

Extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to powerpc.

The following changes are made to enable CMA reservation on powerpc:

- Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel
  parameters
- Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump
- Include the CMA-reserved ranges in the usable memory ranges for the
  kdump kernel to use.
- Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to
  prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore.

With the introduction of the CMA crashkernel regions,
crash_exclude_mem_range() needs to be called multiple times to exclude
both crashk_res and crashk_cma_ranges from the crash memory ranges. To
avoid repetitive logic for validating mem_ranges size and handling
reallocation when required, this functionality is moved to a new wrapper
function crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded().

To ensure proper CMA reservation, reserve_crashkernel_cma() is called
after pageblock_order is initialized.

Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on
powerpc architecture.

9c37cb6e80 rseq: Provide static branch for runtime debugging
Config based debug is rarely turned on and is not available easily when
things go wrong.

Provide a static branch to allow permanent integration of debug mechanisms

090bf5a0f4 PM: hibernate: make compression threads configurable
The number of compression/decompression threads has a direct impact on
hibernate image generation and resume latency. Using more threads can
reduce overall resume time, but on systems with fewer CPU cores it may
also introduce contention and reduce efficiency.

Performance was evaluated on an 8-core ARM system, averaged over 10 runs:

    Threads  Hibernate(s)  Resume(s)
    --------------------------------
       3         12.14       18.86
       4         12.28       17.48
       5         11.09       16.77
       6         11.08       16.44

With 5–6 threads, resume latency improves by approximately 12% compared
to the default 3-thread configuration, with negligible impact on
hibernate time.

Introduce a new kernel parameter `hibernate_compression_threads=` that
allows users and integrators to tune the number of
compression/decompression threads at boot. This provides a way to
balance performance and CPU utilization across a wide range of hardware
without recompiling the kernel.

* Rework almost all of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM's x86
   vendor modules (kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko.
 
 x86:
 
 * Rework almost all of KVM x86's exports to expose symbols only to KVM's
   vendor modules, i.e. to kvm-{amd,intel}.ko.
 
 * Add support for virtualizing Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) on
   Intel (Shadow Stacks and Indirect Branch Tracking) and AMD (Shadow Stacks).
   It's worth noting that while SHSTK and IBT can be enabled separately in CPUID,
   it is not really possible to virtualize them separately.  Therefore, Intel
   processors will really allow both SHSTK and IBT under the hood if either is
   made visible in the guest's CPUID.  The alternative would be to intercept
   XSAVES/XRSTORS, which is not feasible for performance reasons.
 
 * Fix a variety of fuzzing WARNs all caused by checking L1 intercepts when
   completing userspace I/O.  KVM has already committed to allowing L2 to
   to perform I/O at that point.
 
 * Emulate PERF_CNTR_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET for PerfMonV2 guests, as the MSR is
   supposed to exist for v2 PMUs.
 
 * Allow Centaur CPU leaves (base 0xC000_0000) for Zhaoxin CPUs.
 
 * Add support for the immediate forms of RDMSR and WRMSRNS, sans full
   emulator support (KVM should never need to emulate the MSRs outside of
   forced emulation and other contrived testing scenarios).
 
 * Clean up the MSR APIs in preparation for CET and FRED virtualization, as
   well as mediated vPMU support.
 
 * Clean up a pile of PMU code in anticipation of adding support for mediated
   vPMUs.
 
 * Reject in-kernel IOAPIC/PIT for TDX VMs, as KVM can't obtain EOI vmexits
   needed to faithfully emulate an I/O APIC for such guests.
 
 * Many cleanups and minor fixes.
 
 * Recover possible NX huge pages within the TDP MMU under read lock to
   reduce guest jitter when restoring NX huge pages.
 
 * Return -EAGAIN during prefault if userspace concurrently deletes/moves the
   relevant memslot, to fix an issue where prefaulting could deadlock with the
   memslot update.
 
 x86 (AMD):
 
 * Enable AVIC by default for Zen4+ if x2AVIC (and other prereqs) is supported.
 
 * Require a minimum GHCB version of 2 when starting SEV-SNP guests via
   KVM_SEV_INIT2 so that invalid GHCB versions result in immediate errors
   instead of latent guest failures.
 
 * Add support for SEV-SNP's CipherText Hiding, an opt-in feature that prevents
   unauthorized CPU accesses from reading the ciphertext of SNP guest private
   memory, e.g. to attempt an offline attack.  This feature splits the shared
   SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space into separate ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests,
   therefore a new module parameter is needed to control the number of ASIDs
   that can be used for VMs with CipherText Hiding vs. how many can be used to
   run SEV-ES guests.
 
 * Add support for Secure TSC for SEV-SNP guests, which prevents the untrusted
   host from tampering with the guest's TSC frequency, while still allowing the
   the VMM to configure the guest's TSC frequency prior to launch.
 
 * Validate the XCR0 provided by the guest (via the GHCB) to avoid bugs
   resulting from bogus XCR0 values.
 
 * Save an SEV guest's policy if and only if LAUNCH_START fully succeeds to
   avoid leaving behind stale state (thankfully not consumed in KVM).
 
 * Explicitly reject non-positive effective lengths during SNP's LAUNCH_UPDATE
   instead of subtly relying on guest_memfd to deal with them.
 
 * Reload the pre-VMRUN TSC_AUX on #VMEXIT for SEV-ES guests, not the host's
   desired TSC_AUX, to fix a bug where KVM was keeping a different vCPU's
   TSC_AUX in the host MSR until return to userspace.
 
 KVM (Intel):
 
 * Preparation for FRED support.
 
 * Don't retry in TDX's anti-zero-step mitigation if the target memslot is
   invalid, i.e. is being deleted or moved, to fix a deadlock scenario similar
   to the aforementioned prefaulting case.
 
 * Misc bugfixes and minor cleanups.

3b2074c77d A set of updates for the interrupt core subsystem:
- Introduce irq_chip_[startup|shutdown]_parent() to prepare for
     addressing a few short comings in the PCI/MSI interrupt subsystem.
 
     It allows to utilize the interrupt chip startup/shutdown callbacks for
     initializing the interrupt chip hierarchy properly on certain RISCV
     implementations and provides a mechanism to reduce the overhead of
     masking and unmasking PCI/MSI interrupts during operation when the
     underlying MSI provider can mask the interrupt.
 
     The actual usage comes with the interrupt driver pull request.
 
   - Add generic error handling for devm_request_*_irq()
 
     This allows to remove the zoo of random error printk's all over the
     usage sites.
 
   - Add a mechanism to warn about long-running interrupt handlers
 
     Long running interrupt handlers can introduce latencies and tracking
     them down is a tedious task. The tracking has to be enabled with a
     threshold on the kernel command line and utilizes a static branch to
     remove the overhead when disabled.
 
   - Update and extend the selftests which validate the CPU hotplug
     interrupt migration logic
 
   - Allow dropping the per CPU softirq lock on PREEMPT_RT kernels, which
     causes contention and latencies all over the place.
 
     The serialization requirements have been pushed down into the actual
     affected usage sites already.
 
   - The usual small cleanups and improvements

Add support for SEV-SNP's CipherText Hiding, an opt-in feature that prevents
 unauthorized CPU accesses from reading the ciphertext of SNP guest private
 memory, e.g. to attempt an offline attack.  Instead of ciphertext, the CPU
 will always read back all FFs when CipherText Hiding is enabled.
 
 Add new module parameter to the KVM module to enable CipherText Hiding and
 control the number of ASIDs that can be used for VMs with CipherText Hiding,
 which is in effect the number of SNP VMs.  When CipherText Hiding is enabled,
 the hared SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space is split into separate ranges for SEV-ES
 and SEV-SNP guests, i.e. ASIDs that can be used for CipherText Hiding cannot
 be used to run SEV-ES guests.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
     This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
     limit the memory size

   - Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()

     Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
     signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
     sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
     converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets

   - Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option

     Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
     implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
     mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
     pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
     been constructed)

     This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
     required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
     of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:

     * In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
       creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
       namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
       containers would fail to mount procfs)

       But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
       just one-shot this using mount(2)

     * Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
       before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
       in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
       the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)

       While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
       issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
       of unfortunate

       Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
       just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
       changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
       using fsconfig(2):

           fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
           fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);

       or classic mount(2) / mount(8):

           // mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
           mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");

  Cleanups:

   - Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK

   - Make file_remove_privs_flags() static

   - Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used

   - Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()

   - Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()

   - Remove vfs_ioctl() export

   - Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes
     priority inversion on preempt rt kernels

   - Make ns_entries in fs/proc/namespaces const

   - Use a switch() statement() in init_special_inode() just like we do
     in may_open()

   - Use struct_size() in dir_add() in the initramfs code

   - Use str_plural() in rd_load_image()

   - Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in find_link()

   - Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and
     generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop()

   - Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint()

  Fixes:

   - Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper

   - Fix spelling mistake

   - Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor
     number

   - Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a
     signed overflow

   - Fix debugfs mount options not being applied

   - Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs

   - Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs

   - Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV

     If openat2() was called with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV it didn't traverse
     through automounts, but could still trigger them

   - Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
     tracepoints

   - Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390

   - Make INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME depend on BLK_DEV_INITRD

c0f303d7d4 arm64: mm: Rework the 'rodata=' options
As per admin guide documentation, "rodata=on" should be the default on
platforms. Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt describes
these options as

   rodata=         [KNL,EARLY]
           on      Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
           off     Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
           full    Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
                   [arm64]

But on arm64 platform, RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED is enabled by default,
so "rodata=full" is the default instead.

For parity with other architectures, namely x86, rework 'rodata=on' to
match the current "full" behaviour and replace 'rodata=full' with a new
'rodata=noalias' option which retains writable aliases in the direct map
for memory regions outside of the kernel image.

6c7c620585 KVM: SEV: Add SEV-SNP CipherTextHiding support
Ciphertext hiding prevents host accesses from reading the ciphertext of
SNP guest private memory. Instead of reading ciphertext, the host reads
will see constant default values (0xff).

The SEV ASID space is split into SEV and SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID ranges.
Enabling ciphertext hiding further splits the SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space
into separate ASID ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests.

Add a new off-by-default kvm-amd module parameter to enable ciphertext
hiding and allow the admin to configure the SEV-ES and SEV-SNP ASID
ranges. Simply cap the maximum SEV-SNP ASID as appropriate, i.e. don't
reject loading KVM or disable ciphertest hiding for a too-big value, as
KVM's general approach for module params is to sanitize inputs based on
hardware/kernel support, not burn the world down. This also allows the
admin to use -1u to assign all SEV-ES/SNP ASIDs to SNP without needing
dedicated handling in KVM.

278033a225
fs: Add 'initramfs_options' to set initramfs mount options
When CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, the initial root filesystem is a tmpfs.
By default, a tmpfs mount is limited to using 50% of the available RAM
for its content. This can be problematic in memory-constrained
environments, particularly during a kdump capture.

In a kdump scenario, the capture kernel boots with a limited amount of
memory specified by the 'crashkernel' parameter. If the initramfs is
large, it may fail to unpack into the tmpfs rootfs due to insufficient
space. This is because to get X MB of usable space in tmpfs, 2*X MB of
memory must be available for the mount. This leads to an OOM failure
during the early boot process, preventing a successful crash dump.

This patch introduces a new kernel command-line parameter,
initramfs_options, which allows passing specific mount options directly
to the rootfs when it is first mounted. This gives users control over
the rootfs behavior.

For example, a user can now specify initramfs_options=size=75% to allow
the tmpfs to use up to 75% of the available memory. This can
significantly reduce the memory pressure for kdump.

Consider a practical example:

To unpack a 48MB initramfs, the tmpfs needs 48MB of usable space. With
the default 50% limit, this requires a memory pool of 96MB to be
available for the tmpfs mount. The total memory requirement is therefore
approximately: 16MB (vmlinuz) + 48MB (loaded initramfs) + 48MB (unpacked
kernel) + 96MB (for tmpfs) + 12MB (runtime overhead) ≈ 220MB.

By using initramfs_options=size=75%, the memory pool required for the
48MB tmpfs is reduced to 48MB / 0.75 = 64MB. This reduces the total
memory requirement by 32MB (96MB - 64MB), allowing the kdump to succeed
with a smaller crashkernel size, such as 192MB.

An alternative approach of reusing the existing rootflags parameter was
considered. However, a new, dedicated initramfs_options parameter was
chosen to avoid altering the current behavior of rootflags (which
applies to the final root filesystem) and to prevent any potential
regressions.

Also add documentation for the new kernel parameter "initramfs_options"

This approach is inspired by prior discussions and patches on the topic.

6aee5aed2e cgroup: Changes for v6.17
- Allow css_rstat_updated() in NMI context to enable memory accounting for
   allocations in NMI context.
 
 - /proc/cgroups doesn't contain useful information for cgroup2 and was
   updated to only show v1 controllers. This unfortunately broke something in
   the wild. Add an option to bring back the old behavior to ease transition.
 
 - selftest updates and other cleanups.

bf76f23aa1 Scheduler updates for v6.17:
Core scheduler changes:
 
  - Better tracking of maximum lag of tasks in presence of different
    slices duration, for better handling of lag in the fair
    scheduler. (Vincent Guittot)
 
  - Clean up and standardize #if/#else/#endif markers throughout
    the entire scheduler code base (Ingo Molnar)
 
  - Make SMP unconditional: build the SMP scheduler's
    data structures and logic on UP kernel too, even though
    they are not used, to simplify the scheduler and remove
    around 200 #ifdef/[#else]/#endif blocks from the
    scheduler. (Ingo Molnar)
 
  - Reorganize cgroup bandwidth control interface handling
    for better interfacing with sched_ext (Tejun Heo)
 
 Balancing:
 
  - Bump sd->max_newidle_lb_cost when newidle balance fails (Chris Mason)
  - Remove sched_domain_topology_level::flags to simplify the code (Prateek Nayak)
  - Simplify and clean up build_sched_topology() (Li Chen)
  - Optimize build_sched_topology() on large machines (Li Chen)
 
 Real-time scheduling:
 
  - Add initial version of proxy execution: a mechanism for mutex-owning
    tasks to inherit the scheduling context of higher priority waiters.
    Currently limited to a single runqueue and conditional on CONFIG_EXPERT,
    and other limitations. (John Stultz, Peter Zijlstra, Valentin Schneider)
 
  - Deadline scheduler (Juri Lelli):
 
    - Fix dl_servers initialization order (Juri Lelli)
    - Fix DL scheduler's root domain reinitialization logic (Juri Lelli)
    - Fix accounting bugs after global limits change (Juri Lelli)
    - Fix scalability regression by implementing less agressive dl_server handling
      (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 PSI:
 
  - Improve scalability by optimizing psi_group_change() cpu_clock() usage
    (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 Rust changes:
 
  - Make Task, CondVar and PollCondVar methods inline to avoid unnecessary
    function calls (Kunwu Chan, Panagiotis Foliadis)
 
  - Add might_sleep() support for Rust code: Rust's "#[track_caller]"
    mechanism is used so that Rust's might_sleep() doesn't need to be
    defined as a macro (Fujita Tomonori)
 
  - Introduce file_from_location() (Boqun Feng)
 
 Debugging & instrumentation:
 
  - Make clangd usable with scheduler source code files again (Peter Zijlstra)
 
  - tools: Add root_domains_dump.py which dumps root domains info (Juri Lelli)
 
  - tools: Add dl_bw_dump.py for printing bandwidth accounting info (Juri Lelli)
 
 Misc cleanups & fixes:
 
  - Remove play_idle() (Feng Lee)
 
  - Fix check_preemption_disabled() (Sebastian Andrzej Siewior)
 
  - Do not call __put_task_struct() on RT if pi_blocked_on is set
    (Luis Claudio R. Goncalves)
 
  - Correct the comment in place_entity() (wang wei)

04d29e3609 - Untangle the Retbleed from the ITS mitigation on Intel. Allow for ITS
to enable stuffing independently from Retbleed, do some cleanups to
   simplify and streamline the code
 
 - Simplify SRSO and make mitigation types selection more versatile
   depending on the Retbleed mitigation selection. Simplify code some
 
 - Add the second part of the attack vector controls which provide a lot
   friendlier user interface to the speculation mitigations than
   selecting each one by one as it is now.
 
   Instead, the selection of whole attack vectors which are relevant to
   the system in use can be done and protection against only those
   vectors is enabled, thus giving back some performance to the users

0b29600a30 Updates for interrupt chip drivers:
- Add support of forced affinity setting to yet offline CPUs for the
    MIPS-GIC to ensure that the affinity of per CPU interrupts can be set
    during the early bringup phase of a secondary CPU in the hotplug code
    before the CPU is set online and interrupts are enabled.\
 
  - Add support for the MIPS (RISC-V !?!?) P8700 SoC in the ACLINT_SSWI
    interrupt chip
 
  - Make the interrupt routing to RISV-V harts specification compliant so it
    supports arbitrary hart indices
 
  - Add a command line parameter and related handling to disable the generic
    RISCV IMSIC mechanism on platforms which use a trap-emulated IMSIC.
    Unfortunatly this is required because there is no mechanism available to
    discover this programatically.
 
  - Enable wakeup sources on the Renesas RZV2H driver
 
  - Convert interrupt chip drivers, which use a open coded variant of
    msi_create_parent_irq_domain() to use the new functionality
 
  - Convert interrupt chip drivers, which use the old style two level
    implementation of MSI support over to the MSI parent mechanism to
    prepare for removing at least one of the three PCI/MSI backend variants.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As is tradition, cpufreq is the part with the largest number of
  updates that include core fixes and cleanups as well as updates of
  several assorted drivers, but there are also quite a few updates
  related to system sleep, mostly focused on asynchronous suspend and
  resume of devices and on making the integration of system suspend
  and resume with runtime PM easier.

  Runtime PM is also updated to allow some code duplication in drivers
  to be eliminated going forward and to work more consistently overall
  in some cases.

  Apart from that, there are some driver core updates related to PM
  domains that should help to address ordering issues with devm_ cleanup
  routines relying on PM domains, some assorted devfreq updates

7f0c6675b3 tpm_crb_ffa: handle tpm busy return code
Platforms supporting direct message request v2 [1] can support secure
partitions that support multiple services. For CRB over FF-A interface,
if the firmware TPM or TPM service [1] shares its Secure Partition (SP)
with another service, message requests may fail with a -EBUSY error.

To handle this, replace the single check and call with a retry loop
that attempts the TPM message send operation until it succeeds or a
configurable timeout is reached. Implement a _try_send_receive function
to do a single send/receive and modify the existing send_receive to
add this retry loop.
The retry mechanism introduces a module parameter (`busy_timeout_ms`,
default: 2000ms) to control how long to keep retrying on -EBUSY
responses. Between retries, the code waits briefly (50-100 microseconds)
to avoid busy-waiting and handling TPM BUSY conditions more gracefully.

The parameter can be modified at run-time as such:
echo 3000 | tee /sys/module/tpm_crb_ffa/parameters/busy_timeout_ms
This changes the timeout from the default 2000ms to 3000ms.

Add a dedicated core parameter 'panic_console_replay' for controlling
console replay, and add note that 'panic_print' sysctl interface will be
obsoleted by 'panic_sys_info' and 'panic_console_replay'.  When it
happens, the SYS_INFO_PANIC_CONSOLE_REPLAY can be removed as well.

261743b013 panic: clean up code for console replay
Patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used by other
kernel parts", v3.

When working on kernel stability issues, panic, task-hung and
software/hardware lockup are frequently met.  And to debug them, user may
need lots of system information at that time, like task call stacks, lock
info, memory info etc.  

panic case already has panic_print_sys_info() for this purpose, and has a
'panic_print' bitmask to control what kinds of information is needed,
which is also helpful to debug other task-hung and lockup cases.

So this patchset extracts the function out to a new file 'lib/sys_info.c',
and makes it available for other cases which also need to dump system info
for debugging.  

Also as suggested by Petr Mladek, add 'panic_sys_info=' interface to take
human readable string like "tasks,mem,locks,timers,ftrace,....", and
eventually obsolete the current 'panic_print' bitmap interface.

In RFC and V1 version, hung_task and SW/HW watchdog modules are enabled
with the new sys_info dump interface.  In v2, they are kept out for better
review of current change, and will be posted later.  

Locally these have been used in our bug chasing for stability issues and
was proven helpful.

Many thanks to Petr Mladek for great suggestions on both the code and
architectures!


This patch (of 5):

Currently the panic_print_sys_info() was called twice with different
parameters to handle console replay case, which is kind of confusing.

Add panic_console_replay() explicitly and rename
'PANIC_PRINT_ALL_PRINTK_MSG' to 'PANIC_CONSOLE_REPLAY', to make the code
straightforward.  The related kernel document is also updated.

646faf36d7 cgroup: Add compatibility option for content of /proc/cgroups
/proc/cgroups lists only v1 controllers by default, however, this is
only enforced since the commit af000ce852 ("cgroup: Do not report
unavailable v1 controllers in /proc/cgroups") and there is software in
the wild that uses content of /proc/cgroups to decide on availability of
v2 (sic) controllers.

Add a boottime param that can bring back the previous behavior for
setups where the check in the software cannot be changed and it causes
e.g. unintended OOMs.

Also, this patch takes out cgrp_v1_visible from cgroup1_subsys_absent()
guard since it's only important to check which hierarchy (v1 vs v2) the
subsys is attached to. This has no effect on the printed message but
the code is cleaner since cgrp_v1_visible is really about mounted
hierarchies, not the content of /proc/cgroups.

ea92b6046d irqchip/riscv-imsic: Add kernel parameter to disable IPIs
When injecting IPIs to a set of harts, the IMSIC IPI support will do a
separate MMIO write to the SETIPNUM_LE register of each target hart. This
means on a platform where IMSIC is trap-n-emulated, there will be N MMIO
traps when injecting IPI to N target harts hence IMSIC IPIs will be slow on
such platforms compared to the SBI IPI extension.

Unfortunately, there is no DT, ACPI, or any other way of discovering
whether the underlying IMSIC is trap-n-emulated. Using MMIO write to the
SETIPNUM_LE register for injecting IPI is purely a software choice in the
IMSIC driver hence add a kernel parameter to allow users to disable IMSIC
IPIs on platforms with trap-n-emulated IMSIC.

1caa1b0509 Documentation/x86: Document new attack vector controls
Document the 5 new attack vector command line options, how they
interact with existing vulnerability controls, and recommendations on when
they can be disabled.

Note that while mitigating against untrusted userspace requires both
user-to-kernel and user-to-user protection, these are kept separate.  The
kernel can control what code executes inside of it and that may affect the
risk associated with vulnerabilities especially if new kernel mitigations
are implemented.  The same isn't typically true of userspace.

In other words, the risk associated with user-to-user or guest-to-guest
attacks is unlikely to change over time.  While the risk associated with
user-to-kernel or guest-to-host attacks may change.  Therefore, these
controls are separated.

f747cde5e7 PM: sleep: add kernel parameter to disable asynchronous suspend/resume
On some platforms, device dependencies are not properly represented by
device links, which can cause issues when asynchronous power management
is enabled. While it is possible to disable this via sysfs, doing so
at runtime can race with the first system suspend event.

This patch introduces a kernel command-line parameter, "pm_async", which
can be set to "off" to globally disable asynchronous suspend and resume
operations from early boot. It effectively provides a way to set the
initial value of the existing pm_async sysfs knob at boot time. This
offers a robust method to fall back to synchronous (sequential)
operation, which can stabilize platforms with problematic dependencies
and also serve as a useful debugging tool.

The default behavior remains unchanged (asynchronous enabled). To
disable it, boot the kernel with the "pm_async=off" parameter.

de1c831a78 slab: Decouple slab_debug and no_hash_pointers
Some system owners use slab_debug=FPZ (or similar) as a hardening option,
but do not want to be forced into having kernel addresses exposed due
to the implicit "no_hash_pointers" boot param setting.[1]

Introduce the "hash_pointers" boot param, which defaults to "auto"
(the current behavior), but also includes "always" (forcing on hashing
even when "slab_debug=..." is defined), and "never". The existing
"no_hash_pointers" boot param becomes an alias for "hash_pointers=never".

This makes it possible to boot with "slab_debug=FPZ hash_pointers=always".

   from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
   arguments.  At this time we can alter only "system call information that
   are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
   syscall arguments, and syscall return value.

   Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
 
 - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
   from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
   kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables".  This permits the
   addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
   tables".  This change does result in various architectures performing
   unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
 
 - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
   mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
   structures.
 
 - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
   which we've been missing for 15 years.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
   and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
   flushing.  Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
   we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries.  The syscall's cost
   was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
   load this particular operation.
 
 - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
   counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
   preallocation.  stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
   percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was

 - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
   Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when
   reading the code.
 
 - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
   weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
   policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,
   fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory

   hit.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
   including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
   goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
   utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
   Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
   Baoquan found via code inspection.
 
 - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
   from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
   during demotion when possible".  because "presently, reclaim explicitly
   ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
   settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
   multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
 
 - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
   unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
   efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
   creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
   utilization.
 
 - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
   lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
   argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.  This directs proactive
   reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
 
 - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
   Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
   maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
   kexec.  At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
   Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
   By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
 
 - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to
   one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless
   VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.  Dramatic
   performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
 
 - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for
   jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs
   during memory compaction when using JFS.
 
 - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication
   logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c
   into the more appropriate mm/vma.c.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from
   Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the
   folio_index() function.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal
   Moola does that.
 
 - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from
   Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by
   the test_memcontrol selftest.
 
 - The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare
   hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of
   file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new
   file_operations.mmap_prepare().  The latter is more restrictive and
   prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other
   problems, may defeat VMA merging.
 
 - The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from
   Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's
   one.  This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
   NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code,
   tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of
   miscellaneous DAMON changes.  Fix and improve minor problems in code,
   tests and documents."
 
 - The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel
   Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe.  Another step along the way to
   making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
 
 - The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related
   functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio
   conversions in the hugetlb code.

 - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
   Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
   preallocation.

   stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
   the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
   reduced.

 - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
   a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.

 - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
   from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
   management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
   leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
   support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.

 - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
   from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
   eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
   for memory tiering.

 - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
   provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
   found via code inspection.

 - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
   changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
   possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
   cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
   settings to violated.

   This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
   certain classes of memory more consistently.

 - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
   pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
   in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.

 - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
   for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.

 - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
   Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
   for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.

   This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
   rather than file-backed folios.

 - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
   first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
   VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
   time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.

 - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
   and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
   ranges of invalid pfns.

 - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
   cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
   when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.

   Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.

 - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
   Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
   using JFS.

 - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
   appropriate mm/vma.c.

 - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
   provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
   function.

 - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.

 - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
   addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
   test_memcontrol selftest.

 - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
   of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().

   The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
   things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.

 - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
   the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

   This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
   NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.

 - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
   documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
   DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
   documents.

 - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
   stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
   charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

Merge tag 'pm-6.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Once again, the changes are dominated by cpufreq updates, but this
  time the majority of them are cpufreq core changes, mostly related to
  the introduction of policy locking guards and __free() usage, and
  fixes related to boost handling.

  Still, there is also a significant update of the intel_pstate driver
  making it register an energy model when running on a hybrid platform
  which is used for enabling energy-aware scheduling (EAS) if the driver
  operates in the passive mode (and schedutil is used as the cpufreq
  governor for all CPUs which is the passive mode default).

  There are some amd-pstate driver updates too, for a good measure,
  including the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option support and
  new online/offline callbacks.

  In the cpuidle space, the most significant change is the addition of a
  C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to intel_idle which should help some
  users to configure their systems more precisely. There is also the
  conversion of the PSCI cpuidle driver to a faux device one and there
  are two small updates of cpuidle governors.

  Device power management is also modified quite a bit, especially the
  handling of devices with asynchronous suspend and resume enabled
  during system transitions. They are now going to be handled more
  asynchronously during suspend transitions and somewhat less
  aggressively during resume transitions.

  Apart from the above, the operating performance points (OPP) library
  is now going to use mutex locking guards and scope-based cleanup
  helpers and there is the usual bunch of assorted fixes and code
  cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs() (Yaxiong
     Tian)

   - Fix typos in energy model documentation and example driver code
     (Moon Hee Lee, Atul Kumar Pant)

Merge tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Use folios for symlinks in the page cache

     FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
     in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
     folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
     remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()

   - Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
     inode->i_mutex level

   - Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations

     Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
     allow through out sysctl interface

     A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
     involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
     dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
     million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
     after initialization

     To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
     Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
     trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
     cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
     the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
     operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
     recovery completes

     To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
     during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
     of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
     patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
     pressure control

     The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
     vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
     million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
     restart performance degradation

   - Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()

   - Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
     descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()

   - Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()

   - Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
     issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
     Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
     report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode

   - Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
     the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
     implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
     user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
     useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
     respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
     own private superblock

   - Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock

   - Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior

   - Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
     we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()

  Cleanups:

   - Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers

   - Try to remove the uselib() system call

   - Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll

   - Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select

   - Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse

   - Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir()

   - Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages

   - Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs
     documentation

   - Update main netfs API document

   - Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()

   - Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns()

   - Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases

  Fixes:

   - Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description

   - Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc()

   - Correct comments of fs_validate_description()

   - Mark an unlikely if condition with unlikely() in
     vfs_parse_monolithic_sep()

   - Delete macro fsparam_u32hex()

   - Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table()

   - Fix potential unsigned integer underflow in fs_name()

   - Make file-nr output the total allocated file handles"

aafe12f980 rcutorture: Perform more frequent testing of ->gpwrap
Currently, the ->gpwrap is not tested (at all per my testing) due to the
requirement of a large delta between a CPU's rdp->gp_seq and its node's
rnp->gpseq.

This results in no testing of ->gpwrap being set. This patch by default
adds 5 minutes of testing with ->gpwrap forced by lowering the delta
between rdp->gp_seq and rnp->gp_seq to just 8 GPs. All of this is
configurable, including the active time for the setting and a full
testing cycle.

By default, the first 25 minutes of a test will have the _default_
behavior there is right now (ULONG_MAX / 4) delta. Then for 5 minutes,
we switch to a smaller delta causing 1-2 wraps in 5 minutes. I believe
this is reasonable since we at least add a little bit of testing for
usecases where ->gpwrap is set.

[ Apply fix for Dan Carpenter's bug report on init path cleanup. ]
[ Apply kernel doc warning fix from Akira Yokosawa. ]

facd226f7e x86/its: Add support for RSB stuffing mitigation
When retpoline mitigation is enabled for spectre-v2, enabling
call-depth-tracking and RSB stuffing also mitigates ITS. Add cmdline option
indirect_target_selection=stuff to allow enabling RSB stuffing mitigation.

When retpoline mitigation is not enabled, =stuff option is ignored, and
default mitigation for ITS is deployed.

2665281a07 x86/its: Add "vmexit" option to skip mitigation on some CPUs
Ice Lake generation CPUs are not affected by guest/host isolation part of
ITS. If a user is only concerned about KVM guests, they can now choose a
new cmdline option "vmexit" that will not deploy the ITS mitigation when
CPU is not affected by guest/host isolation. This saves the performance
overhead of ITS mitigation on Ice Lake gen CPUs.

When "vmexit" option selected, if the CPU is affected by ITS guest/host
isolation, the default ITS mitigation is deployed.
