63e6995005 objtool updates for v6.19:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
 
    Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build
    script to generate livepatch modules using a
    source .patch as input.
 
    This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree
    kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for
    many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels.
    However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates
    hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch.
 
    Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
 
     - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
       graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
 
     - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
       compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
 
     - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
 
     - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
 
     - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
       inclusion and special section extraction.
 
     - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
       caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
       which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve
       the original line numbers at compile time.
 
  - Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
    (Alexandre Chartre)
 
  - Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
    which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
    specials such as alternatives:

Merge tag 'namespace-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
  system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
  The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.

  Features:

   - listns() system call

     Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
     through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
     interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
     longstanding limitations:

     Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
     namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
     all processes, which is:
      - Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
      - Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
        process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
        parent references
      - Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
      - No ordering or ownership information
      - No filtering per namespace type

     The listns() system call solves these problems:

       ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
                      size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);

       struct ns_id_req {
             __u32 size;
             __u32 spare;
             __u64 ns_id;
             struct /* listns */ {
                     __u32 ns_type;
                     __u32 spare2;
                     __u64 user_ns_id;
             };
       };

     Features include:
      - Pagination support for large namespace sets
      - Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
      - Filtering by owning user namespace
      - Permission checks respecting namespace isolation

   - Active Reference Counting

     Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
     visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
     cases:
      - The namespace is in use by a task
      - The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
        descriptor or bind-mount)
      - The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
        namespaces

     The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
     done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
     to namespace file handles and listns().

     This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
     internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
     file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
     not be accessible via (1)-(3).

   - Unified Namespace Tree

     Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
      - Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
      - Lookup based solely on inode number
      - Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
      - Simplified rbtree comparison helpers

   Cleanups

    - Header Reorganization:
      - Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
      - Decouple nstree from ns_common header
      - Move nstree types into separate header
      - Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
      - Use guards for ns_tree_lock

   - Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
      - Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
        pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
        away
      - Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
      - Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
      - pid: rely on common reference count behavior

   - Miscellaneous Cleanups
      - Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
      - Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
      - Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
      - Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
      - nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
      - nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
      - pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
      - pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
      - libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
      - cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
      - nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()

  Fixes:

   - setns(pidfd, ...) race condition

     Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
     task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
     namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
     setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
     reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
     the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.

     The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
     succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
     succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.

   - Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success

   - Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
     namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
     reference)

   - Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
     namespace

   - Add asserts for active refcount underflow

   - Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
     and active)

   - ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions

   - Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions

   - Selftests
      - 15 active reference count tests
      - 9 listns() functionality tests
      - 7 listns() permission tests
      - 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
      - 3 threaded active reference count tests
      - commit_creds() active reference tests
      - Pagination and stress tests
      - EFAULT handling test
      - nsid tests fixes"

c69993ecdd perf: Support deferred user unwind
Add support for deferred userspace unwind to perf.

Where perf currently relies on in-place stack unwinding; from NMI
context and all that. This moves the userspace part of the unwind to
right before the return-to-userspace.

This has two distinct benefits, the biggest is that it moves the
unwind to a faultable context. It becomes possible to fault in debug
info (.eh_frame, SFrame etc.) that might not otherwise be readily
available. And secondly, it de-duplicates the user callchain where
multiple samples happen during the same kernel entry.

To facilitate this the perf interface is extended with a new record
type:

  PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED

and two new attribute flags:

  perf_event_attr::defer_callchain - to request the user unwind be deferred
  perf_event_attr::defer_output    - to request PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED records

The existing PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE callchain section gets a new
context type:

  PERF_CONTEXT_USER_DEFERRED

After which will come a single entry, denoting the 'cookie' of the
deferred callchain that should be attached here, matching the 'cookie'
field of the above mentioned PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED.

The 'defer_callchain' flag is expected on all events with
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN. The 'defer_output' flag is expect on the event
responsible for collecting side-band events (like mmap, comm etc.).
Setting 'defer_output' on multiple events will get you duplicated
PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED records.

Based on earlier patches by Josh and Steven.

dd590d4d57 objtool/klp: Introduce klp diff subcommand for diffing object files
Add a new klp diff subcommand which performs a binary diff between two
object files and extracts changed functions into a new object which can
then be linked into a livepatch module.

This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1]
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate
livepatch modules for production kernels.  However, this is a complete
rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of
maintaining kpatch.

Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:

  - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
    graph analysis to help detect changed functions.

  - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
    compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.

  - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.

  - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.

  - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
    inclusion and special section extraction.

  - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
    caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
    (coming in a later patch) which injects #line directives into the
    source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.

Note the end result of this subcommand is not yet functionally complete.
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like:

  - Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text
    section.

  - Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols.

Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things.  To work around that,
klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes
the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata.

After module linking, a klp post-link step (coming soon) will clean up
the mess and convert the linked .ko into a fully compliant livepatch
module.

Note this subcommand requires the diffed binaries to have been compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections, and processed with
'objtool --checksum'.  Those constraints will be handled by a klp-build
script introduced in a later patch.

Without '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections', reliable object diffing
would be infeasible due to toolchain limitations:

  - For intra-file+intra-section references, the compiler might
    occasionally generated hard-coded instruction offsets instead of
    relocations.

  - Section-symbol-based references can be ambiguous:

    - Overlapping or zero-length symbols create ambiguity as to which
      symbol is being referenced.

    - A reference to the end of a symbol (e.g., checking array bounds)
      can be misinterpreted as a reference to the next symbol, or vice
      versa.

A potential future alternative to '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections'
would be to introduce a toolchain option that forces symbol-based
(non-section) relocations.

8804d970fa Summary of significant series in this pull request:
- The 3 patch series "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from
   Kairui Song improves performance and reduces the failure rate of swap
   cluster allocation.
 
 - The 4 patch series "support large align and nid in Rust allocators"
   from Vitaly Wool permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large
   alignment when perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from
   Yueyang Pan extend DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets
   for virtual address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters.
 
 - The 3 patch series "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock"
   from Suren Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of
   /proc/pid/maps.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache
   checking" from Kairui Song performs some cleanup in the swap code.
 
 - The 11 patch series "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David
   Hildenbrand provides code cleanup in the pagemap code.
 
 - The 5 patch series "add persistent huge zero folio support" from
   Pankaj Raghav provides a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
   huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
   falls to zero.
 
 - The 3 patch series "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a
   few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature.
 
 - The 10 patch series "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all
   arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap.  To
   end the constant struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with
   64-bit's needs.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li
   cleans up some swap code.
 
 - The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip
   unsupported tests" from Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests
   code.
 
 - The 7 patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide
   THPs when advised" from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes
   to opt-out of THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other
   workloads on the system".
 
   It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations.
 
 - The 11 patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox
   gets us started on the memdesc project.  Please see
   https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
   https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from
   Chi Zhiling improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path.
 
 - The 5 patch series "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi
   Yan improves our folio splitting selftest code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang
   adds some rmap selftests.
 
 - The 3 patch series "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig
   removes that function and converts its two remaining callers.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain
   fixes some UFFD selftests issues.
 
 - The 3 patch series "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris
   Burkov introduces the concept of "kernel file pages".  Using these
   permits btrfs to account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather
   than to the cgroups of random inappropriate tasks.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some
   pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements
   to the page allocator code.
 
 - The 11 patch series "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae
   Park teaches DAMON to understand arm32 highmem.
 
 - The 4 patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for
   vma/maple tests" from Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and
   deduplication under tools/testing/.
 
 - The 2 patch series "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from
   Liam Howlett fixes a couple of 32-bit issues in
   tools/testing/radix-tree.c.
 
 - The 2 patch series "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove
   arch-specific implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN
   arch-specific initialization code into a common arch-neutral
   implementation.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes
   zspool - an indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
   (zsmalloc).
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from
   Pasha Tatashin makes a couple of cleanups in the fork code.
 
 - The 37 patch series "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand
   makes rather a lot of adjustments at various nth_page() callsites,
   eventually permitting the removal of that undesirable helper function.
 
 - The 2 patch series "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from
   Yeoreum Yun creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that
   architecture's memory tagging feature.  It is felt that a read-only mode
   KASAN is suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation"
   from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code.
 
 - The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer
   parameters" from Max Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API
   functions more accurate about the constness of their arguments.  This
   was getting in the way of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they
   attempt to improving their own const/non-const accuracy.
 
 - The 7 patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola
   fixes a number of code sites which were confused over when to use
   free_pages() vs __free_pages().
 
 - The 3 patch series "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice
   Ryhl makes the mapletree code accessible to Rust.  Required by nouveau
   and by its forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test:
   split_pte_mapped_thp improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and
   some cleanups to the thp selftesting code.
 
 - The 14 patch series "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache
   (phase I)" from Chris Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the
   path to implementing "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation
   and state tracking which is expected to yield speed and space
   improvements.  This patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit
   in some situations.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes
   the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from
   Chunyu Hu fixes some issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from
   Suren Baghdasaryan addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new
   memory allocation profiling feature.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few
   cleanups in preparation for more memdesc work.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and
   DAMON_RECLAIM" from Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in
   furtherance of supporting arm highmem.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix
   warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code
   and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code.
 
 - The 10 patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM
   Reaper Traversal Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements
   in the OOM killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim
   threads so they can release resources.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18"
   from SeongJae Park is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization
   check function" from SeongJae Park implement reliability and
   maintainability improvements to a recently-added bug fix.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and
   non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to
   userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
   from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
   anon VMAs.  It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
   an anon vma.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
   compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
   removal of file_operations.mmap().  This patchset concentrates upon
   clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
   Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking
   of large folios.  /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters
   during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats
   inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these
   counters.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei
   Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's
   mm_slot handling.

Merge tag 'slab-for-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - A new layer for caching objects for allocation and free via percpu
   arrays called sheaves.

   The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead and
   simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues
   with arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing.

   It also allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object
   preallocations for cases where the exact number of objects is
   unknown, but an upper bound is.

   Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a
   plan to enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath
   based on cpu (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double().
   (Vlastimil Babka, with Liam Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple
   tree changes)

 - Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations
   from NMI and tracing/kprobe contexts.

   Building on prior page allocator and memcg changes, it will result in
   removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab (Alexei Starovoitov)

 - Various fixes and cleanups. (Kuan-Wei Chiu, Matthew Wilcox, Suren
   Baghdasaryan, Ye Liu)

f0015d8149 tools include: Add headers to make tools builds more hermetic
tools/lib/bpf/netlink.c depends on rtnetlink.h and genetlink.h (via
nlattr.h) which then depends on if_addr.h.

tools/bpf/bpftool/link.c depends on netfilter_arp.h which then depends
on netfilter.h.

Update check-headers.sh to keep these in sync.

57a64919f2 tools include: Replace tools linux/gfp_types.h with kernel version
Previously the header gfp_types.h in tools points to the gfp_types.h
in include/linux. This is a problem for tools like perf, since the
tools header is supposed to be independent of the kernel
headers.

Therefore this patch copies the kernel header to the tools header and
adds a header check.

Merge tag 'hardening-v6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "One notable addition is the creation of the 'transitional' keyword for
  kconfig so CONFIG renaming can go more smoothly.

  This has been a long-standing deficiency, and with the renaming of
  CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will soon have KCFI
  support), this came up again.

  The breadth of the diffstat is mainly this renaming.

   - Clean up usage of TRAILING_OVERLAP() (Gustavo A. R. Silva)

   - lkdtm: fortify: Fix potential NULL dereference on kmalloc failure
     (Junjie Cao)

   - Add str_assert_deassert() helper (Lad Prabhakar)

   - gcc-plugins: Remove TODO_verify_il for GCC >= 16

   - kconfig: Fix BrokenPipeError warnings in selftests

   - kconfig: Add transitional symbol attribute for migration support

   - kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI"

c4fb7f0a79 tools/testing: Add support for changes to slab for sheaves
The slab changes for sheaves requires more effort in the testing code.
Unite all the kmem_cache work into the tools/include slab header for
both the vma and maple tree testing.

The vma test code also requires importing more #defines to allow for
seamless use of the shared kmem_cache code.

This adds the pthread header to the slab header in the tools directory
to allow for the pthread_mutex in linux.c.

23ef9d4397 kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI
The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).

Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

5c8fd7e2b5 bpf: bpf task work plumbing
This patch adds necessary plumbing in verifier, syscall and maps to
support handling new kfunc bpf_task_work_schedule and kernel structure
bpf_task_work. The idea is similar to how we already handle bpf_wq and
bpf_timer.
verifier changes validate calls to bpf_task_work_schedule to make sure
it is safe and expected invariants hold.
btf part is required to detect bpf_task_work structure inside map value
and store its offset, which will be used in the next patch to calculate
key and value addresses.
arraymap and hashtab changes are needed to handle freeing of the
bpf_task_work: run code needed to deinitialize it, for example cancel
task_work callback if possible.
The use of bpf_task_work and proper implementation for kfuncs are
introduced in the next patch.

3492715683 bpf: Implement signature verification for BPF programs
This patch extends the BPF_PROG_LOAD command by adding three new fields
to `union bpf_attr` in the user-space API:

  - signature: A pointer to the signature blob.
  - signature_size: The size of the signature blob.
  - keyring_id: The serial number of a loaded kernel keyring (e.g.,
    the user or session keyring) containing the trusted public keys.

When a BPF program is loaded with a signature, the kernel:

1.  Retrieves the trusted keyring using the provided `keyring_id`.
2.  Verifies the supplied signature against the BPF program's
    instruction buffer.
3.  If the signature is valid and was generated by a key in the trusted
    keyring, the program load proceeds.
4.  If no signature is provided, the load proceeds as before, allowing
    for backward compatibility. LSMs can chose to restrict unsigned
    programs and implement a security policy.
5.  If signature verification fails for any reason,
    the program is not loaded.

0ff52df6b3 tools/nolibc: make time_t robust if __kernel_old_time_t is missing in host headers
Commit d5094bcb5b ("tools/nolibc: define time_t in terms of
__kernel_old_time_t") made nolibc use the kernel's time type so that
`time_t` matches `timespec::tv_sec` on all ABIs (notably x32).

But since __kernel_old_time_t is fairly new, notably from 2020 in commit
94c467ddb2 ("y2038: add __kernel_old_timespec and __kernel_old_time_t"),
nolibc builds that rely on host headers may fail.

Switch to __kernel_time_t, which is the same as __kernel_old_time_t and
has existed for longer.

Tested in PPC VM of Open Source Lab of Oregon State University
(./tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/mkinitrd.sh)

ea2e6467ac bpf: Return hashes of maps in BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD
Currently only array maps are supported, but the implementation can be
extended for other maps and objects. The hash is memoized only for
exclusive and frozen maps as their content is stable until the exclusive
program modifies the map.

This is required for BPF signing, enabling a trusted loader program to
verify a map's integrity. The loader retrieves
the map's runtime hash from the kernel and compares it against an
expected hash computed at build time.

ff0db419b2 tools/include: implement a couple of atomic_t ops
Patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests",
v2.

De-duplicating this lets us delete a bit of code. 

Ulterior motive: I'm working on a new set of the userspace-based unit
tests, which will need the atomics API too.  That would involve even more
duplication, so while the win in this patchset alone is very minimal, it
looks a lot more significant with my other WIP patchset.

I've tested these commands:

make -C tools/testing/vma -j 
tools/testing/vma/vma

make -C tools/testing/radix-tree -j
tools/testing/radix-tree/maple

Note the EXTRA_CFLAGS patch is actually orthogonal, let me know if you'd
prefer I send it separately.


This patch (of 4):

The VMA tests need an operation equivalent to atomic_inc_unless_negative()
to implement a fake mapping_map_writable().  Adding it will enable them to
switch to the shared atomic headers and simplify that fake implementation.

In order to add that, also add atomic_try_cmpxchg() which can be used to
implement it.  This is copied from Documentation/atomic_t.txt.  Then,
implement atomic_inc_unless_negative() itself based on the
raw_atomic_dec_unless_positive() in
include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h.

There's no present need for a highly-optimised version of this (nor any
reason to think this implementation is sub-optimal on x86) so just
implement this with generic C, no x86-specifics.
