Significant patch series in this pull request:
- The 6 patch series "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential
issue" from Andy Shevchenko fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in
ib/sys_info.c.
- The 9 patch series "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" from
David Laight enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and
beefs up the test module for these library functions.
- The 2 patch series "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available
to GDB" from Ilya Leoshkevich makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line
numbers available to the GDB debugger.
- The 4 patch series "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system
info on demand" from Feng Tang adds a sysctl which can be used to cause
additional info dumping when the hung-task and lockup detectors fire.
- The 6 patch series "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate
users" from Kuan-Wei Chiu adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/
and migrates several users away from their private implementations.
- The 2 patch series "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" from Eric
Dumazet makes TCP a little faster.
- The 9 patch series "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" from
Pasha Tatashin reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for
Live Update Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients.
- The 13 patch series "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic
updates" from Pasha Tatashin increases the flexibility of KEXEC
Handover. Also preparation for LUO.
- The 18 patch series "Live Update Orchestrator" from Pasha Tatashin is
a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the [0/N]:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem
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.

selftests/mm: put general ksm operation into vm_util
Patch series "test that rmap behaves as expected", v4. As David suggested, currently we don't have a high level test case to verify the behavior of rmap. This patch set introduce the verification on rmap by migration. Patch 1 is a preparation to move ksm related operations into vm_util. Patch 2 is the new test case for rmap. Currently it covers following four scenarios: * anonymous page * shmem page * pagecache page * ksm page This patch (of 2): There are some general ksm operations could be used by other related test cases. Put them into vm_util for common use. This is a preparation patch for later use.

selftests/mm: fix child process exit codes in ksm_functional_tests
In ksm_functional_tests, test_child_ksm() returned negative values to
indicate errors. However, when passed to exit(), these were interpreted
as large unsigned values (e.g, -2 became 254), leading to incorrect
handling in the parent process. As a result, some tests appeared to be
skipped or silently failed.
This patch changes test_child_ksm() to return positive error codes (1, 2,
3) and updates test_child_ksm_err() to interpret them correctly.
Additionally, test_prctl_fork_exec() now uses exit(4) after a failed
execv() to clearly signal exec failures. This ensures the parent
accurately detects and reports child process failures.

selftest/mm: fix ksm_funtional_test failures
This patch fixes 2 issues.
1) After fork() in test_prctl_fork, the child process uses the file
descriptors from the parent process to read ksm_stat and
ksm_merging_pages. This results in incorrect values being read (parent
process ksm_stat and ksm_merging_pages will be read in child), causing
the test to fail.
This patch calls init_global_file_handles() in the child process to
ensure that the current process's file descriptors are used to read
ksm_stat and ksm_merging_pages.
2) All tests currently call ksm_merge to trigger page merging. To
ensure the system remains in a consistent state for subsequent tests,
it is better to call ksm_unmerge during the test cleanup phase
In the test_prctl_fork test, after a fork(), reading
ksm_merging_pages in the child process returns a non-zero value because
a previous test performed a merge, and the child's memory state is
inherited from the parent.
Although the child process calls ksm_unmerge, the ksm_merging_pages
counter in the parent is reset to zero, while the child's counter
remains unchanged. This discrepancy causes the test to fail.
To avoid this issue, each test should call ksm_unmerge during
cleanup to ensure the counter is reset and the system is in a clean
state for subsequent tests.
execv argument is an array of pointers to null-terminated strings. In
this patch we also added NULL in the execv argument.

selftests/mm: fix UFFDIO_API usage with proper two-step feature negotiation
The current implementation of test_unmerge_uffd_wp() explicitly sets `uffdio_api.features = UFFD_FEATURE_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_WP` before calling UFFDIO_API. This can cause the ioctl() call to fail with EINVAL on kernels that do not support UFFD-WP, leading the test to fail unnecessarily: # ------------------------------ # running ./ksm_functional_tests # ------------------------------ # TAP version 13 # 1..9 # # [RUN] test_unmerge # ok 1 Pages were unmerged # # [RUN] test_unmerge_zero_pages # ok 2 KSM zero pages were unmerged # # [RUN] test_unmerge_discarded # ok 3 Pages were unmerged # # [RUN] test_unmerge_uffd_wp # not ok 4 UFFDIO_API failed <----- # # [RUN] test_prot_none # ok 5 Pages were unmerged # # [RUN] test_prctl # ok 6 Setting/clearing PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE works # # [RUN] test_prctl_fork # # No pages got merged # # [RUN] test_prctl_fork_exec # ok 7 PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE value is inherited # # [RUN] test_prctl_unmerge # ok 8 Pages were unmerged # Bail out! 1 out of 8 tests failed # # Planned tests != run tests (9 != 8) # # Totals: pass:7 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 # [FAIL] This patch improves compatibility and robustness of the UFFD-WP test (test_unmerge_uffd_wp) by correctly implementing the UFFDIO_API two-step handshake as recommended by the userfaultfd(2) man page. Key changes: 1. Use features=0 in the initial UFFDIO_API call to query supported feature bits, rather than immediately requesting WP support. 2. Skip the test gracefully if: - UFFDIO_API fails with EINVAL (e.g. unsupported API version), or - UFFD_FEATURE_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_WP is not advertised by the kernel. 3. Close the initial userfaultfd and create a new one before enabling the required feature, since UFFDIO_API can only be called once per fd. 4. Improve diagnostics by distinguishing between expected and unexpected failures, using strerror() to report errors. This ensures the test behaves correctly across a wider range of kernel versions and configurations, while preserving the intended behavior on kernels that support UFFD-WP.

selftests/mm: remove local __NR_* definitions
This continues the work on getting the selftests to build without
requiring people to first run "make headers" [1].
Now that the system call numbers are in the correct, checked-in locations
in the kernel tree (./tools/include/uapi/asm/unistd*.h), make sure that
the mm selftests include that file (indirectly).
Doing so provides guaranteed definitions at build time, so remove all of
the checks for "ifdef __NR_xxx" in the mm selftests, because they will
always be true (defined).

selftests/mm:fix test_prctl_fork_exec return failure
After calling fork() in test_prctl_fork_exec(), the global variable ksm_full_scans_fd is initialized to 0 in the child process upon entering the main function of ./ksm_functional_tests. In the function call chain test_child_ksm() -> __mmap_and_merge_range -> ksm_merge-> ksm_get_full_scans, start_scans = ksm_get_full_scans() will return an error. Therefore, the value of ksm_full_scans_fd needs to be initialized before calling test_child_ksm in the child process.

selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: refactor mmap_and_merge_range()
In order to extend test_prctl_fork() and test_prctl_fork_exec() to make
sure that deduplication really happens, mmap_and_merge_range() needs to be
refactored.
Firstly, mmap_and_merge_range() will be called with no need to call enable
KSM by madvise or prctl. So, switch the 'bool use_prctl' parameter to
enum ksm_merge_mode.
Secondly, mmap_and_merge_range() will be called in child process in the
two testcases, it isn't appropriate to call ksft_test_result_{fail, skip},
because the global variables ksft_{fail, skip} aren't consistent with the
parent process. Thus, convert calls of ksft_test_result_{fail, skip} to
ksft_print_msg(), return differrent error according to the two cases, and
rename mmap_and_merge_range() to __mmap_and_merge_range(). For existing
callers, introduce new mmap_and_merge_range() to handle different return
values of __mmap_and_merge_range().

selftests/mm/ksm_functional: prevent unmapping undefined address
Replace some goto statements with return statements so that unmap() is not
called on an undefined address. This change is made so that unmap() can
only be reached after mmap() is called (and the address mentioned is
defined). Returning MAP_FAILED seems acceptable since client code checks
for this value.

selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: Add PROT_NONE test
Let's test whether merging and unmerging in PROT_NONE areas works as expected. Pass a page protection to mmap_and_merge_range(), which will trigger an mprotect() after writing to the pages, but before enabling merging. Make sure that unsharing works as expected, by performing a ptrace write (using /proc/self/mem) and by setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE. Note that this implicitly tests that ptrace writes in an inaccessible (PROT_NONE) mapping work as expected.

selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: test in mmap_and_merge_range() if anything got merged
Let's extend mmap_and_merge_range() to test if anything in the current process was merged. range_maps_duplicates() is too unreliable for that use case, so instead look at KSM stats. Trigger a complete unmerge first, to cleanup the stable tree and stabilize accounting of merged pages. Note that we're using /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages instead of /proc/self/ksm_stat, because that one is available in more existing kernels. If /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages can't be opened, we can't perform any checks and simply skip them. We have to special-case the shared zeropage for now. But the only user -- test_unmerge_zero_pages() -- performs its own merge checks.

selftest: add a testcase of ksm zero pages
Add a function test_unmerge_zero_page() to test the functionality on
unsharing and counting ksm-placed zero pages and counting of this patch
series.
test_unmerge_zero_page() actually contains four subjct test objects:
(1) whether the count of ksm zero pages can update correctly after merging;
(2) whether the count of ksm zero pages can update correctly after
unmerging by madvise(...MADV_UNMERGEABLE);
(3) whether the count of ksm zero pages can update correctly after
unmerging by triggering write fault.
(4) whether ksm zero pages are really unmerged.

selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM
This adds three new tests to the selftests for KSM. These tests use the new prctl API's to enable and disable KSM. 1) add new prctl flags to prctl header file in tools dir This adds the new prctl flags to the include file prct.h in the tools directory. This makes sure they are available for testing. 2) add KSM prctl merge test to ksm_tests This adds the -t option to the ksm_tests program. The -t flag allows to specify if it should use madvise or prctl ksm merging. 3) add two functions for debugging merge outcome for ksm_tests This adds two functions to report the metrics in /proc/self/ksm_stat and /sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm. The debug output is enabled with the -d option. 4) add KSM prctl test to ksm_functional_tests This adds a test to the ksm_functional_test that verifies that the prctl system call to enable / disable KSM works. 5) add KSM fork test to ksm_functional_test Add fork test to verify that the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is inherited by the child process.

selftests/mm: uffd_[un]register()
Add two helpers to register/unregister to an uffd. Use them to drop
duplicate codes.
This patch also drops assert_expected_ioctls_present() and
get_expected_ioctls(). Reasons:
- It'll need a lot of effort to pass test_type==HUGETLB into it from
the upper, so it's the simplest way to get rid of another global var
- The ioctls returned in UFFDIO_REGISTER is hardly useful at all,
because any app can already detect kernel support on any ioctl via its
corresponding UFFD_FEATURE_*. The check here is for sanity mostly but
it's probably destined no user app will even use it.
- It's not friendly to one future goal of uffd to run on old
kernels, the problem is get_expected_ioctls() compiles against
UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS, which is a value that can change depending on
where the test is compiled, rather than reflecting what the kernel
underneath has. It means it'll report false negatives on old kernels
so it's against our will.
So let's make our lives easier.
