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.

aec3202247 net: packetengines: remove obsolete yellowfin driver and vendor dir
Similar to the hamachi driver, the yellowfin driver supports hardware
that is over two decades old and no longer in active use.

Since yellowfin was the last remaining driver in the packetengines
vendor directory, we can now safely remove the entire directory and
drop its associated references from the parent Kconfig and Makefile.

This eliminates dead code and reduces the overall maintenance burden
on the netdev subsystem.

 - The 2 patch series "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" from Oleg
   Nesterov increases the robustness of our creation of init in a new
   namespace.  By clearing away some historical cruft which is no longer
   needed.  Also some documentation fixups are provided.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general"
   from Mark Brown has a fixup and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall
   selftest.
 
 - The 3 patch series "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up" from
   Andy Shevchenko does as advertised.
 
 - The 3 patch series "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for
   hung task detector" from Aaron Tomlin gives administrators the ability

 - The 2 patch series "tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers from

   in-kernel UAPI headers rather than the system-provided ones.
 
 - The 5 patch series "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup"
   from Mayank Rungta provides several cleanups and fixups to the
   hardlockup detector code and its documentation.
 
 - The 2 patch series "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed

   in the bch code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()"
   from Junrui Luo does what is claims.
 
 - 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
   in ARM64 and PowerPC" from Coiby Xu eenables support of the
   LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc.
 
 - The 4 patch series "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into
   block read callbacks" from Joseph Qi addresses ocfs2's validation of
   extent list fields - cleanup, simplification, robustness.  (Kernel test
   robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!)

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Allow TLP Processing Hints to be enabled for RCiEPs (George Abraham
     P)

   - Enable AtomicOps only if we know the Root Port supports them (Gerd
     Bayer)

   - Don't enable AtomicOps for RCiEPs since none of them need Atomic
     Ops and we can't tell whether the Root Complex would support them
     (Gerd Bayer)

   - Leave Precision Time Measurement disabled until a driver enables it
     to avoid PCIe errors (Mika Westerberg)

   - Make pci_set_vga_state() fail if bridge doesn't support VGA
     routing, i.e., PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA is not writable, and return
     errors to vga_get() callers including userspace via
     /dev/vga_arbiter (Simon Richter)

   - Validate max-link-speed from DT in j721e, brcmstb, mediatek-gen3,
     rzg3s drivers (where the actual controller constraints are known),
     and remove validation from the generic OF DT accessor (Hans Zhang)

   - Remove pc110pad driver (no longer useful after 486 CPU support
     removed) and no_pci_devices() (pc110pad was the last user) (Dmitry
     Torokhov, Heiner Kallweit)

  Resource management:

   - Prevent assigning space to unimplemented bridge windows; previously
     we mistakenly assumed prefetchable window existed and assigned
     space and put a BAR there (Ahmed Naseef)

   - Avoid shrinking bridge windows to fit in the initial Root Port
     window; fixes one problem with devices with large BARs connected
     via switches, e.g., Thunderbolt (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Pass full extent of empty space, not just the aligned space, to
     resource_alignf callback so free space before the requested
     alignment can be used (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Place small resources before larger ones for better utilization of
     address space (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Fix alignment calculation for resource size larger than align,
     e.g., bridge windows larger than the 1MB required alignment (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

  Reset:

   - Update slot handling so all ARI functions are treated as being in
     the same slot. They're all reset by Secondary Bus Reset, but
     previously drivers of ARI functions that appeared to be on a
     non-zero device weren't notified and fatal hardware errors could
     result (Keith Busch)

   - Make sysfs reset_subordinate hotplug safe to avoid spurious hotplug
     events (Keith Busch)

   - Hide Secondary Bus Reset ('bus') from sysfs reset_methods if masked
     by CXL because it has no effect (Vidya Sagar)

   - Avoid FLR for AMD NPU device, where it causes the device to hang
     (Lizhi Hou)

  Error handling:

   - Clear only error bits in PCIe Device Status to avoid accidentally
     clearing Emergency Power Reduction Detected (Shuai Xue)

   - Check for AER errors even in devices without drivers (Lukas Wunner)

   - Initialize ratelimit info so DPC and EDR paths log AER error
     information (Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan)

  Power control:

   - Add UPD720201/UPD720202 USB 3.0 xHCI Host Controller .compatible so
     generic pwrctrl driver can control it (Neil Armstrong)

  Hotplug:

   - Set LED_HW_PLUGGABLE for NPEM hotplug-capable ports so LED core
     doesn't complain when setting brightness fails because the endpoint
     is gone (Richard Cheng)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Allow wildcards in list of host bridges that support peer-to-peer
     DMA between hierarchy domains and add all Google SoCs (Jacob
     Moroni)

  Endpoint framework:

   - Advertise dynamic inbound mapping support in pci-epf-test and
     update host pci_endpoint_test to skip doorbell testing if not
     advertised by endpoint (Koichiro Den)

   - Return 0, not remaining timeout, when MHI eDMA ops complete so
     mhi_ep_ring_add_element() doesn't interpret non-zero as failure
     (Daniel Hodges)

   - Remove vntb and ntb duplicate resource teardown that leads to oops
     when .allow_link() fails or .drop_link() is called (Koichiro Den)

   - Disable vntb delayed work before clearing BAR mappings and
     doorbells to avoid oops caused by doing the work after resources
     have been torn down (Koichiro Den)

   - Add a way to describe reserved subregions within BARs, e.g.,
     platform-owned fixed register windows, and use it for the RK3588
     BAR4 DMA ctrl window (Koichiro Den)

   - Add BAR_DISABLED for BARs that will never be available to an EPF
     driver, and change some BAR_RESERVED annotations to BAR_DISABLED
     (Niklas Cassel)

   - Add NTB .get_dma_dev() callback for cases where DMA API requires a
     different device, e.g., vNTB devices (Koichiro Den)

   - Add reserved region types for MSI-X Table and PBA so Endpoint
     controllers can them as describe hardware-owned regions in a
     BAR_RESERVED BAR (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Make Tegra194/234 BAR0 programmable and remove 1MB size limit
     (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Expose Tegra BAR2 (MSI-X) and BAR4 (DMA) as 64-bit BAR_RESERVED
     (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Add Tegra194 and Tegra234 device table entries to pci_endpoint_test
     (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Skip the BAR subrange selftest if there are not enough inbound
     window resources to run the test (Christian Bruel)

  New native PCIe controller drivers:

   - Add DT binding and driver for Andes QiLai SoC PCIe host controller
     (Randolph Lin)

   - Add DT binding and driver for ESWIN PCIe Root Complex (Senchuan
     Zhang)

  Baikal T-1 PCIe controller driver:

   - Remove driver since it never quite became usable (Andy Shevchenko)

  Cadence PCIe controller driver:

   - Implement byte/word config reads with dword (32-bit) reads because
     some Cadence controllers don't support sub-dword accesses (Aksh
     Garg)

  CIX Sky1 PCIe controller driver:

   - Add 'power-domains' to DT binding for SCMI power domain (Gary Yang)

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Add i.MX94 and i.MX943 to fsl,imx6q-pcie-ep DT binding (Richard
     Zhu)

   - Delay instead of polling for L2/L3 Ready after PME_Turn_off when
     suspending i.MX6SX because LTSSM registers are inaccessible
     (Richard Zhu)

   - Separate PERST# assertion (for resetting endpoints) from core reset
     (for resetting the RC itself) to prepare for new DTs with PERST#
     GPIO in per-Root Port nodes (Sherry Sun)

   - Retain Root Port MSI capability on i.MX7D, i.MX8MM, and i.MX8MQ so
     MSI from downstream devices will work (Richard Zhu)

   - Fix i.MX95 reference clock source selection when internal refclk is
     used (Franz Schnyder)

  Freescale Layerscape PCIe controller driver:

   - Allow building as a removable module (Sascha Hauer)

  MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:

   - Use dev_err_probe() to simplify error paths and make deferred probe
     messages visible in /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred (Chen-Yu
     Tsai)

   - Power off device if setup fails (Chen-Yu Tsai)

   - Integrate new pwrctrl API to enable power control for WiFi/BT
     adapters on mainboard or in PCIe or M.2 slots (Chen-Yu Tsai)

  NVIDIA Tegra194 PCIe controller driver:

   - Poll less aggressively and non-atomically for PME_TO_Ack during
     transition to L2 (Vidya Sagar)

   - Disable LTSSM after transition to Detect on surprise link down to
     stop toggling between Polling and Detect (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Don't force the device into the D0 state before L2 when suspending
     or shutting down the controller (Vidya Sagar)

   - Disable PERST# IRQ only in Endpoint mode because it's not
     registered in Root Port mode (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Handle 'nvidia,refclk-select' as optional (Vidya Sagar)

   - Disable direct speed change in Endpoint mode so link speed change
     is controlled by the host (Vidya Sagar)

   - Set LTR values before link up to avoid bogus LTR messages with 0
     latency (Vidya Sagar)

   - Allow system suspend when the Endpoint link is down (Vidya Sagar)

   - Use DWC IP core version, not Tegra custom values, to avoid DWC core
     version check warnings (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Apply ECRC workaround to devices based on DesignWare 5.00a as well
     as 4.90a (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Disable PM Substate L1.2 in Endpoint mode to work around Tegra234
     erratum (Vidya Sagar)

   - Delay post-PERST# cleanup until core is powered on to avoid CBB
     timeout (Manikanta Maddireddy)

   - Assert CLKREQ# so switches that forward it to their downstream side
     can bring up those links successfully (Vidya Sagar)

   - Calibrate pipe to UPHY for Endpoint mode to reset stale PLL state

bd39fc8134 alpha: Define pgprot_modify to silence tautological comparison warnings
Alpha's pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device are
all identity macros, so the generic pgprot_modify() produces
tautological self-comparisons that GCC warns about:

  include/linux/pgtable.h:1701:25: warning: self-comparison always
  evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]

Since all caching attributes are no-ops on Alpha, define
pgprot_modify() to simply return newprot.

55b22075f7 alpha: add support for SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER
Add SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER support to the Alpha architecture and fix
syscall entry and ptrace issues uncovered by the seccomp-bpf selftests.

The syscall entry path is reworked to consistently track syscall state
using r0, r1 and r2:
  - r1 holds the active syscall number
  - r2 preserves the original syscall number for restart
  - r0 carries the return value, with r19 (a3) indicating success/error

This allows syscall restarts to be permitted only for valid ERESTART*
return codes and prevents kernel-internal restart values from leaking to
userspace. The syscall tracing error marker is corrected to use the saved
syscall number slot, matching the Alpha ABI.

Additionally, implement minimal PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET
support for NT_PRSTATUS, exporting struct pt_regs directly. This fixes
ptrace-based seccomp tests that previously failed with -EIO.

With these changes, seccomp-bpf and ptrace syscall tests pass reliably on
Alpha.

6215d9f447 arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS
Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

36ae1c45b2 Scheduler changes for v7.0:
Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
 
  - Further consolidate configurable preemption modes: reduce
    the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
    PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number
    of preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy'
    on up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc,
    riscv, s390, x86).
 
    None and voluntary are only available as legacy features
    on platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet,
    or which don't even support preemption.
 
    The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and
    voluntary preemption altogether.
 
    (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support:
 
 This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it
 enters a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when
 the thread is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
 
  - Add fields and constants for time slice extension
  - Provide static branch for time slice extensions
  - Add statistics for time slice extensions
  - Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions

  - Lower default slice extension
  - selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
 
    (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
 
  - Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU,
    which improves the scalability of various workloads.
    (Shubhang Kaushik)
 
  - Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching
    (Blake Jones)
 
  - Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups:

   - Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
   - Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
   - Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()

  - Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
  - Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
           rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
  - <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper
 
    (Peter Zijlstra)
 
 Fair scheduler updates/refactoring:
 
  - Fold the sched_avg update
  - Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
  - Switch to rcu_dereference_all()

44b079583f alpha: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
On a 64-bit system, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) may cause a large number of
empty PTE page table pages (such as 100GB+).  To resolve this problem,
first enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to prepare for enabling the
PT_RECLAIM feature, which resolves this problem.

4267739cab arch, mm: consolidate initialization of SPARSE memory model
Every architecture calls sparse_init() during setup_arch() although the
data structures created by sparse_init() are not used until the
initialization of the core MM.

Beside the code duplication, calling sparse_init() from architecture
specific code causes ordering differences of vmemmap and HVO
initialization on different architectures.

Move the call to sparse_init() from architecture specific code to
free_area_init() to ensure that vmemmap and HVO initialization order is
always the same.

d49004c5f0 arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture
calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone
limits.

Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between
allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map.  Some
architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain
cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes
hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().

With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it
is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup
code.  Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a
single place.

This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and
initialization.

Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and
place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately
after setup_arch().

After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations
and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map
initialization among different architectures.

As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to
mm_core_early_init().

ba1c86874e alpha: introduce arch_zone_limits_init()
Patch series "arch, mm: consolidate hugetlb early reservation", v3.

Order in which early memory reservation for hugetlb happens depends on
architecture, on configuration options and on command line parameters.

Some architectures rely on the core MM to call hugetlb_bootmem_alloc()
while others call it very early to allow pre-allocation of HVO-style
vmemmap.

When hugetlb_cma is supported by an architecture it is initialized during
setup_arch() and then later hugetlb_init code needs to understand did it
happen or not.

To make everything consistent and unified, both reservation of hugetlb
memory from bootmem and creation of CMA areas for hugetlb must be called
from core MM initialization and it would have been a simple change. 
However, HVO-style pre-initialization ordering requirements slightly
complicate things and for HVO pre-init to work sparse and memory map
should be initialized after hugetlb reservations.

This required pulling out the call to free_area_init() out of setup_arch()
path and moving it MM initialization and this is what the first 23 patches
do.

These changes are deliberately split into per-arch patches that change how
the zone limits are calculated for each architecture and the patches 22
and 23 just remove the calls to free_area_init() and sprase_init() from
arch/*.

Patch 24 is a simple cleanup for MIPS.

Patches 25 and 26 actually consolidate hugetlb reservations and patches 27
and 28 perform some aftermath cleanups.


This patch (of 29):

Move calculations of zone limits to a dedicated arch_zone_limits_init()
function.

Later MM core will use this function as an architecture specific callback
during nodes and zones initialization and thus there won't be a need to
call free_area_init() from every architecture.

dd5712f337 alpha: fix user-space corruption during memory compaction
Alpha systems can suffer sporadic user-space crashes and heap
corruption when memory compaction is enabled.

Symptoms include SIGSEGV, glibc allocator failures (e.g. "unaligned
tcache chunk"), and compiler internal errors. The failures disappear
when compaction is disabled or when using global TLB invalidation.

The root cause is insufficient TLB shootdown during page migration.
Alpha relies on ASN-based MM context rollover for instruction cache
coherency, but this alone is not sufficient to prevent stale data or
instruction translations from surviving migration.

Fix this by introducing a migration-specific helper that combines:
  - MM context invalidation (ASN rollover),
  - immediate per-CPU TLB invalidation (TBI),
  - synchronous cross-CPU shootdown when required.

The helper is used only by migration/compaction paths to avoid changing
global TLB semantics.

Additionally, update flush_tlb_other(), pte_clear(), to use
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for correct SMP memory ordering.

This fixes observed crashes on both UP and SMP Alpha systems.

99d2592023 rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the
kernel granted a time slice extension.

sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally
schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to
schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a
strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls
including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

8e38607aa4 treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variant
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.

This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.

The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:

  - clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
  - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.

The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.

The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor.  Where
specific instructions support it (ex.  string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.

For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation.  This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.

Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:

 $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5

                       baseline              +series
                   (GBps +- %stdev)      (GBps +- %stdev)

   pg-sz=2MB       11.76 +- 1.10%        25.34 +- 1.18% [*]   +115.47%  	preempt=*

   pg-sz=1GB       24.85 +- 2.41%        39.22 +- 2.32%       + 57.82%  	preempt=none|voluntary
   pg-sz=1GB         (similar)           52.73 +- 0.20% [#]   +112.19%  	preempt=full|lazy

 [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
  allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.

 [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
  cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
  that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
  ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
  as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
  preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).

  When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
  cachelines on this path almost entirely.

  (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
   preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
   voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
   cond_resched().)

Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.

  $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10

                    base               patched              change
   pg-sz=2MB       12.731939 GB/sec    26.304263 GB/sec     106.6%
   pg-sz=1GB       26.232423 GB/sec    61.174836 GB/sec     133.2%


This patch (of 8):

Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.

We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.

Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage().  And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.

Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation.  There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused.  Not sure what's up with that.

9aeed90419 alpha: don't reference obsolete termio struct for TC* constants
Similar in nature to ab10727660. glibc-2.42
drops the legacy termio struct, but the ioctls.h header still defines some
TC* constants in terms of termio (via sizeof). Hardcode the values instead.

This fixes building Python for example, which falls over like:
  ./Modules/termios.c:1119:16: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct termio'

3cec82b4fc alpha: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in the alpha headers
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now
on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers.

This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

     - Add support for a lockless bitmap.

       A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
       lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
       bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
       to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
       writes.

       By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
       case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
       need to do a full disk resync/recovery.

35561bab76 arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

Then (in 1.3.54) _PAGE_COW had died.  Result:

a8d060ddee alpha: Add __attribute_const__ to ffs()-family implementations
While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by
BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static
initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state
of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that
ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with
__attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might
change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(),
which provides deterministic math results).

Add missing __attribute_const__ annotations to Alpha's implementations
of __ffs(), ffs(), fls64(), __fls(), fls(), and ffz() functions. These
are pure mathematical functions that always return the same result for
the same input with no side effects, making them eligible for compiler
optimization.

Build tested ARCH=alpha defconfig with GCC alpha-linux-gnu 14.2.0.

bbc46b23af arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on

 - The 11 patch series "Implement numa node notifier" from Oscar Salvador
   creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
   Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline
   notifier.
 
 - The 6 patch series "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" from Zi Yan
   cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which
   doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
 
 - The 5 patch series "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON
   sysfs functionality tests" from SeongJae Park adds additional drgn- and
   python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the
   existing selftest suite.

   monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" from SeongJae Park adds some
   tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" from

 - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: misc cleanups" from SeongJae Park also
   does what it claims.

   migrate_{hot,cold} actions" from SeongJae Park facilitates dynamic
   alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" from Vishal Moola
   provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" from Davidlohr
   Bueso implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
   current memcg-based implementation.

   from Lorenzo Stoakes implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course)
   in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the
   remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED.  It
   still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be
   performed reliably.
 
 - The 3 patch series "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" from Anthony Yznaga
   switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes
   the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated
   stats update" from SeongJae Park augments the present

   Kemeng Shi does what is claims.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm: introduce snapshot_page" from Luiz Capitulino

   functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly
   without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live
   pageframe directly.

   than half in some situations.  The series also introduces several new
   selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

   volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" from wang lian does some
   cleanup work in the selftests code.

 - The 22 patch series "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters"
   from SeongJae Park extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it

Linus Torvalds
8be4d31cb8 Networking changes for 6.17.
Core & protocols
 ----------------
 
  - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing.
 
  - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container).
 
  - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX.
 
  - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK.
 
  - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP.
 
  - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface.
 
  - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
    window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
    aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB.
 
  - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
    improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users.
 
  - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque.
 
  - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly once.
 
  - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code.
 
  - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
    instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel NAPI
    thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread would stick
    around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization.
 
  - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets.
 
  - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing.
 
  - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling.
 
  - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink.
 
  - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
    responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
    where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
    across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed.
 
  - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries.
 
  - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM.
 
  - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister netconsole's
    console when all net targets are removed. Code refactoring.
    Add a number of selftests.
 
  - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
    should be used for an inbound SA lookup.
 
  - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS.
 
  - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
    Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links.
 
  - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch.
 
  - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack.
 
  - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer.
 
  - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink.
 
  - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing fields.
 
  - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
    Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc.
 
  - Support DPLL phase offset monitoring across all device inputs.
    Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
    inputs.
 
  - Support traffic classes in devlink rate API for bandwidth management.
 
  - Remove rtnl_lock dependency from UDP tunnel port configuration.
 
 Device drivers
 --------------
 
  - Add a new Broadcom driver for 800G Ethernet (bnge).
 
  - Add a standalone driver for Microchip ZL3073x DPLL.
 
  - Remove IBM's NETIUCV device driver.
 
  - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
    - Broadcom (bnxt):

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core & protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

   - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
     Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc

   - Support DPLL phase offset monitoring across all device inputs.
     Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
     inputs

   - Support traffic classes in devlink rate API for bandwidth
     management

   - Remove rtnl_lock dependency from UDP tunnel port configuration

  Device drivers:

   - Add a new Broadcom driver for 800G Ethernet (bnge)

   - Add a standalone driver for Microchip ZL3073x DPLL

   - Remove IBM's NETIUCV device driver

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:

Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.fileattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
  after lengthy discussions.

  Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
  the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
  started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
  makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
  operations.

  These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
  special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.

  XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
  inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
  directory.

  The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
  FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
  files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
  with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
  accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
  in the case when special files are created in the directory with
  already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
  attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
  attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
  possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
  prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
  files.

  In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
  additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
  legacy ioctls anymore"
