cbade82334 parisc: Add support for CONFIG_SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_NO_WARN
Allow users to disable kernel warnings for unaligned memory
accesses from kernel via the /proc/sys/kernel/ignore-unaligned-usertrap
procfs entry.
That way users can disable those warnings in case they happen too
often.

61307b7be4 The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.  Notable
 series include:
 
 - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping
   cleanup/consolidation/maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide:
   Remove pXd_huge() API".
 
 - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
   MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
   MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in one
   test.
 
 - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
   Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
   /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being allocated:
   number of calls and amount of memory.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
   patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in largely
   similar code sites.
 
 - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene" Johannes
   Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of migratetype requests,
   with resulting improvements in compaction efficiency.
 
 - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent" Baolin
   Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should improve hugetlb
   allocation reliability.
 
 - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
   memory-tight memcg.  Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when memory
   almost met memcg limit".
 
 - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting" Kairui
   Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10% performance
   improvement in one test.
 
 - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
   initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
   free_area_init_core()".
 
 - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
   "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".
 
 - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
   follow_pfn".
 
 - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various page->flags
   cleanups".
 
 - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
   series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

 	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
 	"khugepaged folio conversions"
 	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
 	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
 	"Clean up __folio_put()"
 	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
 	"Remove page_mapping()"
 	"More folio compat code removal"
 
 - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert hugetlb
   functions to work on folis".
 
 - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
   hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   series "Cover a guard gap corner case".
 
 - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the series
   "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".
 
 - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.  This
   is a simple first-cut implementation for now.  The series is "support
   multi-size THP numa balancing".
 
 - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in the
   series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

f122668ddc ARC: Add eBPF JIT support
This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.

The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:

test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120  224  260 PASS

test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1  23 PASS

test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS

Deployment and structure
------------------------
The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net":

- bpf_jit.h       -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide
- bpf_jit_core.c  -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream
- bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic

The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance
to the whole process. Normally, the translation is done in one pass,
namely the "normal pass". In case some relocations are not known during
this pass, some data (arc_jit_data) is allocated for the next pass to
come. This possible next (and last) pass is called the "extra pass".

1. Normal pass       # The necessary pass
     1a. Dry run       # Get the whole JIT length, epilogue offset, etc.
     1b. Emit phase    # Allocate memory and start emitting instructions
2. Extra pass        # Only needed if there are relocations to be fixed
     2a. Patch relocations

Support status
--------------
The JIT compiler supports BPF instructions up to "cpu=v4". However, it
does not yet provide support for:

- Tail calls
- Atomic operations
- 64-bit division/remainder
- BPF_PROBE_MEM* (exception table)

The result of "test_bpf" test suite on an HSDK board is:

hsdk-lnx# insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf

  test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]

All the failing test cases are due to the ones that were not JIT'ed.
Categorically, they can be represented as:

  .-----------.------------.-------------.
  | test type |   opcodes  | # of cases  |
  |-----------+------------+-------------|
  | atomic    | 0xC3, 0xDB |         149 |
  | div64     | 0x37, 0x3F |          22 |
  | mod64     | 0x97, 0x9F |          15 |
  `-----------^------------+-------------|
                           | (total) 186 |
                           `-------------'

Setup: build config
-------------------
The following configs must be set to have a working JIT test:

  CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
  CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
  CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m

The following options are not necessary for the tests module,
but are good to have:

  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y             # prerequisite for below
  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y         # so bpftool can generate vmlinux.h

  CONFIG_FTRACE=y                 #
  CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y            # all these options lead to
  CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y          # having CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
  CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y            #

Some BPF programs provide data through /sys/kernel/debug:
  CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
arc# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug

Setup: elfutils
---------------
The libdw.{so,a} library that is used by pahole for processing
the final binary must come from elfutils 0.189 or newer. The
support for ARCv2 [1] has been added since that version.

[1]
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commit;h=de3d46b3e7

Setup: pahole
-------------
The line below in linux/scripts/Makefile.btf must be commented out:

pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 121) += --btf_gen_floats

Or else, the build will fail:

$ make V=1
  ...
  BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
pahole -J --btf_gen_floats                    \
       -j --lang_exclude=rust                 \
       --skip_encoding_btf_inconsistent_proto \
       --btf_gen_optimized .tmp_vmlinux.btf
Complex, interval and imaginary float types are not supported
Encountered error while encoding BTF.
  ...
  BTFIDS  vmlinux
./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: No data available

This is due to the fact that the ARC toolchains generate
"complex float" DIE entries in libgcc and at the moment, pahole
can't handle such entries.

Running the tests
-----------------
host$ scp /bld/linux/lib/test_bpf.ko arc:
arc # sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable=1
arc # insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf
      ...
      test_bpf: #1048 Staggered jumps: JMP32_JSLE_X jited:1 697811 PASS
      test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]

- Claudiu Zissulescu for his unwavering support
- Yuriy Kolerov for testing and troubleshooting
- Vladimir Isaev for the pahole workaround

22d407b164 lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling
Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily
instrument memory allocators.  It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type
with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when
the feature is enabled.

CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory
allocation profiling instrumentation.

Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation
profiling by default.

ad584d73a2 Tracing updates for 6.9:
Main user visible change:
 
 - User events can now have "multi formats"
 
   The current user events have a single format. If another event is created
   with a different format, it will fail to be created. That is, once an
   event name is used, it cannot be used again with a different format. This
   can cause issues if a library is using an event and updates its format.
   An application using the older format will prevent an application using
   the new library from registering its event.
 
   A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event names, and
   it creates events with different formats.
 
   The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
   format. Both the event name and its format are the unique identifier.
   This will allow two different applications to use the same user event name
   but with different payloads.
 
 - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
   not just the main top level tracing buffer.
 
 Other changes:
 
 - Add eventfs_root_inode
 
   Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away) and
   stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands of other
   eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set in its
   descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a eventfs_inode
   descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root inode will use this.
 
 - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs
 
   There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be hit,
   but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to make sure that
   they are never hit.
 
 - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid array
 
   The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to hold its
   mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already apart of it:
   map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory can be saved by
   also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as well.
 
 - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in TRACE_EVENT().
 
   Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:
 
       __string(name, source)
 
   And assigned with:
 
      __assign_str(name, source)
 
   In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to get the
   size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and __assign_str() is used to
   copy the string into the ring buffer. There's a helper structure that is
   created in the TRACE_EVENT() macro logic that will hold the string length
   and its position in the ring buffer which is created by __string().
 
   There are several trace events that have a function to create the string
   to save. This function is executed twice. Once for __string() and again
   for __assign_str(). There's no reason for this. The helper structure could
   also save the string it used in __string() and simply copy that into
   __assign_str() (it also already has its length).
 
   By using the structure to store the source string for the assignment, it
   means that the second argument to __assign_str() is no longer needed.
 
   It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a warning if
   the source string given to __string() is different than the source string
   given to __assign_str(), as the source to __assign_str() isn't even used
   and will be going away.
 
 - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
   source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the next
   merge window.
 
   Included fixes that the above check found.
 
 - Other minor clean ups and fixes

19f0423fd5 tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oops
Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For
debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to
check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for
other purposes.

This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific
or multiple trace instances:

  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer
  on all CPUs
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global
  trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the
  tracing instance matching <instance_name>
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu],
  <instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace
  buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU
  that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given

Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

12a686c2e7 net: make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable
This patch adds /proc/sys/net/core/mem_pcpu_rsv sysctl file,
to make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable.

Commit 3cd3399dd7 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for
memory_allocated") introduced per-cpu forward alloc cache:

"Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number
of changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated, which
would otherwise be cause of false sharing."

sk_prot->memory_allocated points to global atomic variable:
atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB,
changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated can be further reduced.
Performance may be improved on system with many cores.

2e3fc6ca52 panic: add option to dump blocked tasks in panic_print
For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of
panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks.  On today's large servers
running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and
this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for
serial console which is main target user case of panic_print).

And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the
panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

9220066ea8 docs: add information about ipc sysctls limitations
After 25b21cb2f6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111b
("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped being
global and started counting per ipc namespace.  The documentation and
shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option.

shmget(2):

SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured in
units of the system page size.  On Linux, this limit can be read and
modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall.

I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.

1e0c505e13 asm-generic updates for v6.7
The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
 now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will
 be maintained as an LTS kernel.
 
 The architecture specific system call tables are updated for
 the added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references
 to the long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

Linus Torvalds
89ed67ef12 Networking changes for 6.7.
Core & protocols
 ----------------
 
  - Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by
    a route attribute.
 
  - Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
    a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
    on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
 
  - The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
    - add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
    - support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
    - improve inactive flow reporting
    - optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality
 
  - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
    replacement for the old MD5 option.
 
  - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to TCP_INFO.
 
  - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.
 
  - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was shutdown().
 
  - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
    Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.
 
  - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.
 
  - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.
 
  - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
    limit the number of wakeups.
 
  - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
    space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
    table.
 
  - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.
 
  - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.
 
  - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were created
    via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at runtime.
 
  - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
    filters.
 
  - MCTP over I3C.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic
    of the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.
 
  - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should
    never be true but are hard for the verifier to infer.
    With some extra flexibility around handling of the exit / failure.
    https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/
 
  - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
    per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on
    the value for the current CPU. This allows to deprecate local
    one-off implementations of per-CPU storage like
    BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.
 
  - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
    for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
    running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
    of different services.
 
  - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
    made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.
 
  - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support.
    One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.
 
  - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().
 
  - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.
 
  - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
    fentry/fexit programs.
 
  - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed kprobe
    executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.
 
  - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.
 
  - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.
 
 Changes to common code
 ----------------------
 
  - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs
    with flexible array members.
 
  - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
    mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.
 
  - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring
    and querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization,
    in network time distribution.
 
  - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
    Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.
 
  - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().
 
  - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
    correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC addresses.
 
  - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.
 
  - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().
 
  - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.
 
 Misc
 ----
 
  - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.
 
  - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.
 
  - A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.
 
  - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.
 
  - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

8f833c82cd sched/topology: Change behaviour of the 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl, based on the platform
The 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl is available for the admin to disable/enable
energy aware scheduling(EAS). EAS is enabled only if few conditions are
met by the platform. They are, asymmetric CPU capacity, no SMT,
schedutil CPUfreq governor, frequency invariant load tracking etc.
A platform may boot without EAS capability, but could gain such
capability at runtime. For example, changing/registering the cpufreq
governor to schedutil.

At present, though platform doesn't support EAS, this sysctl returns 1
and it ends up calling build_perf_domains on write to 1 and
NOP when writing to 0. That is confusing and un-necessary.

Desired behavior would be to have this sysctl to enable/disable the EAS
on supported platform. On non-supported platform write to the sysctl
would return not supported error and read of the sysctl would return
empty. So sched_energy_aware returns empty - EAS is not possible at this moment
This will include EAS capable platforms which have at least one EAS
condition false during startup, e.g. not using the schedutil cpufreq governor
sched_energy_aware returns 0 - EAS is supported but disabled by admin.
sched_energy_aware returns 1 - EAS is supported and enabled.

User can find out the reason why EAS is not possible by checking
info messages. sched_is_eas_possible returns true if the platform
can do EAS at this moment.

   - Locking fix for a regression added this merge window for IOPOLL
     overflow (Pavel)

   - IOPOLL fix for stable, breaking our loop if helper threads are

76d3ccecfa io_uring: add a sysctl to disable io_uring system-wide
Introduce a new sysctl (io_uring_disabled) which can be either 0, 1, or
2. When 0 (the default), all processes are allowed to create io_uring
instances, which is the current behavior.  When 1, io_uring creation is
disabled (io_uring_setup() will fail with -EPERM) for unprivileged
processes not in the kernel.io_uring_group group.  When 2, calls to
io_uring_setup() fail with -EPERM regardless of privilege.

3a8a670eee Networking changes for 6.5.
Core
 ----
 
  - Rework the sendpage & splice implementations. Instead of feeding
    data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg handlers to support
    taking a reference on the data, controlled by a new flag called
    MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file
    to invoke an additional callback instead of trying to predict what
    the right combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is.
    Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely.
 
  - Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
    SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid.
 
  - Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT.
 
  - Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker.
 
  - Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families.
 
 Protocols
 ---------
 
  - Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
    sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
    tcp_rmem[2].
 
  - Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy.
 
  - Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
    that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags.
 
  - Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
    linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative.
 
  - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info (MPTCP_FULL_INFO).
 
  - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have
    a full record.
 
  - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving
    the way to issuing ioctls over io_uring.
 
  - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
    encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address.
 
  - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
    in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
    link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch.
 
  - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable.
 
  - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
    (ipconfig).
 
  - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
    (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
    packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge).
 
  - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets.
 
  - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
    printk level to debug.
 
  - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto.
 
  - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4.
 
  - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
    maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used,
    or in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
    especially those using open-coded iterators.
 
  - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
    assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
    But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what
    the output buffer *should* be, without writing anything.
 
  - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers.
 
  - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper.
 
  - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands.
 
  - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
    maps as read-only).
 
  - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo.
 
  - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are self-explanatory):
    - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
      bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
      and bpf_dynptr_clone().
    - bpf_task_under_cgroup()
    - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
    - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
    presence of an entry in a map without using the value.
 
  - Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds.
 
  - Allow updating size of a set.
 
  - Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
    "offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
    (i.e. packets coming in and out).
 
  - Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules.
 
  - Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
    common helper routines.
 
  - Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
    associated with the PCS layer.
 
  - Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
    scheduler offload (taprio).
 
  - Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs
    to fit into the message.
 
  - Split devlink instance and devlink port operations.

605cfa1b10 net: introduce default_rps_mask netns attribute
If RPS is enabled, this allows configuring a default rps
mask, which is effective since receive queue creation time.

A default RPS mask allows the system admin to ensure proper
isolation, avoiding races at network namespace or device
creation time.

The default RPS mask is initially empty, and can be
modified via a newly added sysctl entry.

a42aaad2e4 kexec: introduce sysctl parameters kexec_load_limit_*
kexec allows replacing the current kernel with a different one.  This is
usually a source of concerns for sysadmins that want to harden a system.

Linux already provides a way to disable loading new kexec kernel via
kexec_load_disabled, but that control is very coard, it is all or nothing
and does not make distinction between a panic kexec and a normal kexec.

This patch introduces new sysctl parameters, with finer tuning to specify
how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded.  The sysadmin can set
different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot kernels.  The value can
be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a stricter value.

With these new parameters on place, a system with loadpin and verity
enabled, using the following kernel parameters:
sysctl.kexec_load_limit_reboot=0 sysct.kexec_load_limit_panic=1 can have a
good warranty that if initrd tries to load a panic kernel, a malitious
user will have small chances to replace that kernel with a different one,
even if they can trigger timeouts on the disk where the panic kernel
lives.

Add two parameter to specify how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded.

These parameter allow hardening the system.

While we are at it, fix a documentation issue and refactor some code.


This patch (of 3):

kexec_load_disabled affects both ``kexec_load`` and ``kexec_file_load``
syscalls. Make it explicit.

Loongson-2 series (Loongson-2K500, Loongson-2K1000) don't support
unaligned access in hardware, while Loongson-3 series (Loongson-3A5000,
Loongson-3C5000) are configurable whether support unaligned access in
hardware. This patch add unaligned access emulation for those LoongArch

d4ccd54d28 exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops
Many Linux systems are configured to not panic on oops; but allowing an
attacker to oops the system **really** often can make even bugs that look
completely unexploitable exploitable (like NULL dereferences and such) if
each crash elevates a refcount by one or a lock is taken in read mode, and
this causes a counter to eventually overflow.

The most interesting counters for this are 32 bits wide (like open-coded
refcounts that don't use refcount_t). (The ldsem reader count on 32-bit
platforms is just 16 bits, but probably nobody cares about 32-bit platforms
that much nowadays.)

So let's panic the system if the kernel is constantly oopsing.

The speed of oopsing 2^32 times probably depends on several factors, like
how long the stack trace is and which unwinder you're using; an empirically
important one is whether your console is showing a graphical environment or
a text console that oopses will be printed to.
In a quick single-threaded benchmark, it looks like oopsing in a vfork()
child with a very short stack trace only takes ~510 microseconds per run
when a graphical console is active; but switching to a text console that
oopses are printed to slows it down around 87x, to ~45 milliseconds per
run.
(Adding more threads makes this faster, but the actual oops printing
happens under &die_lock on x86, so you can maybe speed this up by a factor
of around 2 and then any further improvement gets eaten up by lock
contention.)

It looks like it would take around 8-12 days to overflow a 32-bit counter
with repeated oopsing on a multi-core X86 system running a graphical
environment; both me (in an X86 VM) and Seth (with a distro kernel on
normal hardware in a standard configuration) got numbers in that ballpark.

12 days aren't *that* short on a desktop system, and you'd likely need much
longer on a typical server system (assuming that people don't run graphical
desktop environments on their servers), and this is a *very* noisy and
violent approach to exploiting the kernel; and it also seems to take orders
of magnitude longer on some machines, probably because stuff like EFI
pstore will slow it down a ton if that's active.

8603b6f586 core_pattern: add CPU specifier
Statistically, in a large deployment regular segfaults may indicate a CPU
issue.

Currently, it is not possible to find out what CPU the segfault happened
on.  There are at least two attempts to improve segfault logging with this
regard, but they do not help in case the logs rotate.

Hence, lets make sure it is possible to permanently record a CPU the task
ran on using a new core_pattern specifier.

727209376f x86/split_lock: Add sysctl to control the misery mode
Commit b041b525da ("x86/split_lock: Make life miserable for split lockers")
changed the way the split lock detector works when in "warn" mode;
basically, it not only shows the warn message, but also intentionally
introduces a slowdown through sleeping plus serialization mechanism
on such task. Based on discussions in [0], seems the warning alone
wasn't enough motivation for userspace developers to fix their
applications.

This slowdown is enough to totally break some proprietary (aka.
unfixable) userspace[1].

Happens that originally the proposal in [0] was to add a new mode
which would warns + slowdown the "split locking" task, keeping the
old warn mode untouched. In the end, that idea was discarded and
the regular/default "warn" mode now slows down the applications. This
is quite aggressive with regards proprietary/legacy programs that
basically are unable to properly run in kernel with this change.
While it is understandable that a malicious application could DoS
by split locking, it seems unacceptable to regress old/proprietary
userspace programs through a default configuration that previously
worked. An example of such breakage was reported in [1].

Add a sysctl to allow controlling the "misery mode" behavior, as per
Thomas suggestion on [2]. This way, users running legacy and/or
proprietary software are allowed to still execute them with a decent
performance while still observing the warning messages on kernel log.
