Recent additions to this function cause GCC 14.3.0 to get excited
(W=1) and suggest a missing attribute:
lib/bug.c: In function '__warn_printf':
lib/bug.c:187:25: error: function '__warn_printf' be a candidate for 'gnu_printf' format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]
187 | vprintk(fmt, *args);
| ^~~~~~~
Disable the diagnostic locally, following the pattern used for stuff
like va_format().

report_bug_entry() always provides zero for bugaddr but could easily
extract the correct address from the provided bug_entry. Just do that to
have proper warning messages.
E.g. adding an artificial:
void foo(void) { WARN_ONCE(1, "bar"); }
function generates this warning message:
WARNING: arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:1017 at 0x0, CPU#0: swapper/0/0
^^^
With the correct bug address this changes to:
WARNING: arch/s390/kernel/setup.c:1017 at foo+0x1c/0x40, CPU#0: swapper/0/0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As we're doing in the BLAKE2b code, use unrolled_full to make the
compiler handle the loop unrolling. This simplifies the code slightly.
The generated object code is nearly the same with both gcc and clang.

BLAKE2b has a state of 16 64-bit words. Add the message data in and
there are 32 64-bit words. With the current code where all the rounds
are unrolled to enable constant-folding of the blake2b_sigma values,
this results in a very large code size on 32-bit kernels, including a
recurring issue where gcc uses a large amount of stack.
There's just not much benefit to this unrolling when the code is already
so large. Let's roll up the rounds when !CONFIG_64BIT.
To avoid having to duplicate the code, just write the code once using a
loop, and conditionally use 'unrolled_full' from <linux/unroll.h>.
Then, fold the now-unneeded ROUND() macro into the loop. Finally, also
remove the now-unneeded override of the stack frame size warning.
Code size improvements for blake2b_compress_generic():
Size before (bytes) Size after (bytes)
------------------- ------------------
i386, gcc 27584 3632
i386, clang 18208 3248
arm32, gcc 19912 2860
arm32, clang 21336 3344
Running the BLAKE2b benchmark on a !CONFIG_64BIT kernel on an x86_64
processor shows a 16384B throughput change of 351 => 340 MB/s (gcc) or
442 MB/s => 375 MB/s (clang). So clearly not much of a slowdown either.
But also that microbenchmark also effectively disregards cache usage,
which is important in practice and is far better in the smaller code.
Note: If we rolled up the loop on x86_64 too, the change would be
7024 bytes => 1584 bytes and 1960 MB/s => 1396 MB/s (gcc), or
6848 bytes => 1696 bytes and 1920 MB/s => 1263 MB/s (clang).
Maybe still worth it, though not quite as clearly beneficial.

Replace the RISCV_ISA_V dependency of the RISC-V crypto code with
RISCV_EFFICIENT_VECTOR_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which implies RISCV_ISA_V as
well as vector unaligned accesses being efficient.
This is necessary because this code assumes that vector unaligned
accesses are supported and are efficient. (It does so to avoid having
to use lots of extra vsetvli instructions to switch the element width
back and forth between 8 and either 32 or 64.)
This was omitted from the code originally just because the RISC-V kernel
support for detecting this feature didn't exist yet. Support has now
been added, but it's fragmented into per-CPU runtime detection, a
command-line parameter, and a kconfig option. The kconfig option is the
only reasonable way to do it, though, so let's just rely on that.

In chacha_zvkb, avoid using the s0 register, which is the frame pointer,
by reallocating KEY0 to t5. This makes stack traces available if e.g. a
crash happens in chacha_zvkb.
No frame pointer maintenance is otherwise required since this is a leaf

Add a cond_lock annotation for lockref_put_or_lock to make sparse
happy with using it. Note that for this the return value has to be
double-inverted as the return value convention of lockref_put_or_lock
is inverted compared to _trylock conventions expected by __cond_lock,
as lockref_put_or_lock returns true when it did not need to take the

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

Merge tag 'soc-drivers-6.19-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc
Pull more SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"These updates came a little late, or were based on a later 6.18-rc tag
than the others:
- A new driver for cache management on cxl devices with memory shared
in a coherent cluster. This is part of the drivers/cache/ tree, but
unlike the other drivers that back the dma-mapping interfaces, this
one is needed only during CPU hotplug.
- A shared branch for reset controllers using swnode infrastructure
- Added support for new SoC variants in the Amlogic soc_device
identification
- Minor updates in Freescale, Microchip, Samsung, and Apple SoC
drivers"

The majority of changes at this time were about ASoC with a lot of
code refactoring works. From the functionality POV, there aren't much
to see, but we have a wide range of device-specific fixes and updates.
Here are some highlights:
- Continued ASoC API clean works, spanned over many files
- Added a SoundWire SCDA generic class driver with regmap support
- Enhancements and fixes for Cirrus, Intel, Maxim and Qualcomm.
- Support for ASoC Allwinner A523, Mediatek MT8189, Qualcomm QCM2290,
QRB2210 and SM6115, SpacemiT K1, and TI TAS2568, TAS5802, TAS5806,
TAS5815, TAS5828 and TAS5830
- Usual HD-audio and USB-audio quirks and fixups
- Support for Onkyo SE-300PCIE, TASCAM IF-FW/DM MkII
Some gpiolib changes for shared GPIOs are included along with this PR
for covering ASoC drivers changes.

Merge tag 'printk-for-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic()
callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.
It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org
Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI
context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ
context:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35
In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
ownership in the middle of a record
- Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB
- Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
possible
- Misc code clean up

In v6.8, the size of task_struct on arm64 increased by 528 bytes due
to the new 'kernel_fpsimd_state' field. This field was added to allow
kernel-mode FPSIMD code to be preempted.
Unfortunately, 528 bytes is kind of a lot for task_struct. This
regression in the task_struct size was noticed and reported.
Recover that space by making this state be allocated on the stack at
the beginning of each kernel-mode FPSIMD section.
To make it easier for all the users of kernel-mode FPSIMD to do that
correctly, introduce and use a 'scoped_ksimd' abstraction.

C supports lower bounds on the sizes of array parameters, using the
static keyword as follows: 'void f(int a[static 32]);'. This allows
the compiler to warn about a too-small array being passed.
As discussed, this reuse of the 'static' keyword, while standard, is a
bit obscure. Therefore, add an alias 'at_least' to compiler_types.h.
Then, add this 'at_least' annotation to the array parameters of
various crypto library functions.

This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.19. It includes:
- Add SHA-3 support to lib/crypto/, including support for both the
hash functions and the extendable-output functions. Reimplement the
existing SHA-3 crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by the upcoming support for the ML-DSA
signature algorithm, which needs the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
functions. But even on its own it's a useful cleanup.
This also fixes the longstanding issue where the
architecture-optimized SHA-3 code was disabled by default.
- Add BLAKE2b support to lib/crypto/, and reimplement the existing
BLAKE2b crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by btrfs, which supports BLAKE2b checksums.
With this change, all btrfs checksum algorithms now have library
APIs. btrfs is planned to start just using the library directly.
This refactor also improves consistency between the BLAKE2b code and
BLAKE2s code. And as usual, it also fixes the issue where the
architecture-optimized BLAKE2b code was disabled by default.
- Add POLYVAL support to lib/crypto/, replacing the existing POLYVAL
support in crypto_shash. Reimplement HCTR2 on top of the library.
This simplifies the code and improves HCTR2 performance. As usual,
it also makes the architecture-optimized code be enabled by default.
The generic implementation of POLYVAL is greatly improved as well.
- Clean up the BLAKE2s code.
- Add FIPS self-tests for SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3.

Add a compile-in option for Terminus 10x18 bitmap console font
to improve readability on modern laptop displays.
On modern 13-16 inch laptop displays with high pixel density,
common scaled resolutions like 1280x800 and 1440x900 are widely
used.
At these resolutions, VGA 8x16 is too small and difficult to
read for extended periods, while Terminus 16x32 is too large,
providing only 25-28 rows. The existing 10x18 font has poor
readability.
Terminus 10x18 provides improved readability with its clean,
fixed-width design while maintaining practical row counts
(44-50 rows).
A comfortable and readable built-in font for early boot messages,
kernel panics or whenever userspace is unavailable.
The font was converted from standard Terminus ter-i18b.psf using
psftools and formatted to match kernel font conventions.
This patch is non-intrusive, no options are enabled by default
so most users won't notice a thing.

The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which are
caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to invoke
the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each
context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which
sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch
and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also
requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is
executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic
uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic
entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the
context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the
fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only
required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is
allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial
thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually
improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held
time and therefore contention goes down significantly.

- Implement the missing u64 user access function on ARM when
CONFIG_CPU_SPECTRE=n. This makes it possible to access a 64bit value in
generic code with [unsafe_]get_user(). All other architectures and ARM
variants provide the relevant accessors already.
- Ensure that ASM GOTO jump label usage in the user mode access helpers
always goes through a local C scope label indirection inside the
helpers. This is required because compilers are not supporting that a
ASM GOTO target leaves a auto cleanup scope. GCC silently fails to emit
the cleanup invocation and CLANG fails the build.
This provides generic wrapper macros and the conversion of affected
architecture code to use them.
- Scoped user mode access with auto cleanup
Access to user mode memory can be required in hot code paths, but if it
has to be done with user controlled pointers, the access is shielded
with a speculation barrier, so that the CPU cannot speculate around the
address range check. Those speculation barriers impact performance quite
significantly. This can be avoided by "masking" the provided pointer so
it is guaranteed to be in the valid user memory access range and
otherwise to point to a guaranteed unpopulated address space. This has
to be done without branches so it creates an address dependency for the
access, which the CPU cannot speculate ahead.
This results in repeating and error prone programming patterns:
if (can_do_masked_user_access())
from = masked_user_read_access_begin((from));
else if (!user_read_access_begin(from, sizeof(*from)))
return -EFAULT;
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
user_read_access_end();
return 0;
Efault:
user_read_access_end();
return -EFAULT;
which can be replaced with scopes and automatic cleanup:
scoped_user_read_access(from, Efault)
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
return 0;
Efault:
return -EFAULT;
- Convert code which implements the above pattern over to
scope_user.*.access(). This also corrects a couple of imbalanced
masked_*_begin() instances which are harmless on most architectures, but
prevent PowerPC from implementing the masking optimization.
- Add a missing speculation barrier in copy_from_user_iter()

- 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

Add __kfifo_alloc_node() by refactoring and reusing __kfifo_alloc(),
and define kfifo_alloc_node() macro to support NUMA-aware memory
allocation.
The new __kfifo_alloc_node() function accepts a NUMA node parameter
and uses kmalloc_array_node() instead of kmalloc_array() for
node-specific allocation. The existing __kfifo_alloc() now calls
__kfifo_alloc_node() with NUMA_NO_NODE to maintain backward
compatibility.
This enables users to allocate kfifo buffers on specific NUMA nodes,
which is important for performance in NUMA systems where the kfifo
will be primarily accessed by threads running on specific nodes.

Currently the KHO test only prints a message on success, and remains

The KHO framework uses a notifier chain as the mechanism for clients to
participate in the finalization process. While this works for a single,
central state machine, it is too restrictive for kernel-internal
components like pstore/reserve_mem or IMA. These components need a
simpler, direct way to register their state for preservation (e.g., during
their initcall) without being part of a complex, shutdown-time notifier
sequence. The notifier model forces all participants into a single
finalization flow and makes direct preservation from an arbitrary context
difficult. This patch refactors the client participation model by
removing the notifier chain and introducing a direct API for managing FDT
subtrees.
The core kho_finalize() and kho_abort() state machine remains, but clients
now register their data with KHO beforehand.

Merge tag 'cache-for-v6.19' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/conor/linux into soc/drivers-late
standalone cache drivers for v6.19
ccache:
Add a compatible for the pic64gx SoC. No driver change needed, as it
falls back to the PolarFire SoC.
hisi hha/generic cpu cache maintenance:
Add support for a non-architectural mechanism for invalidating memory
regions, needed for some cxl implementations on arm64 (and probably
elsewhere in the future). The HiSilicon Hydra Home Agent is the first
driver to provide this support.

fill_pool_map is used to suppress nesting violations caused by acquiring
a spinlock_t (from within the memory allocator) while holding a
raw_spinlock_t. The used annotation is wrong.
LD_WAIT_SLEEP is for always sleeping lock types such as mutex_t.
LD_WAIT_CONFIG is for lock type which are sleeping while spinning on
PREEMPT_RT such as spinlock_t.
Use LD_WAIT_CONFIG as override.

The pool of free objects is refilled on several occasions such as object
initialisation. On PREEMPT_RT refilling is limited to preemptible
sections due to sleeping locks used by the memory allocator. The system
boots with disabled interrupts so the pool can not be refilled.
If too many objects are initialized and the pool gets empty then
debugobjects disables itself.
Refiling can also happen early in the boot with disabled interrupts as
long as the scheduler is not operational. If the scheduler can not
preempt a task then a sleeping lock can not be contended.
Allow to additionally refill the pool if the scheduler is not
operational.

debugfs access modes were added in Linux 5.10 (Dec 2020) [1], but the
no-mount mode has behaved effectively the same as the off mode since
Linux 5.12 (Apr 2021) [2]. The only difference is the specific error
code returned by the debugfs_create_* functions, which is -ENOENT in
no-mount mode and -EPERM in off mode.
Given that no-mount hasn't worked for several years with no complaints,
just remove it.

Encoding a relative NULL pointer doesn't work for KASLR, when the
whole kernel image gets shifted, the __bug_table and the target string
get shifted by the same amount and the relative offset is preserved.
However when the target is an absolute 0 value and the __bug_table
gets moved about, the end result in a pointer equivalent to
kaslr_offset(), not NULL.
Notably, this will generate SHN_UNDEF relocations, and Ard would
really like to not have those at all.
Use the empty string to denote no-string.

Merge series from Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>:
This series fixes device and OF node reference leaks during probe and
a clock prepare imbalance on probe failures.
Included is a related cleanup of an error path.
That was already the limit with KASAN enabled, and the 32-bit x86 build
ends up having a couple of drm cases that have stack frames _just_ over
1kB on my allmodconfig test. So the minimal fix for this build issue
for now is to just bump the limit and make it independent of KASAN.
[ Side note: XTENSA already used 1.5k and PARISC uses 2k, so 1280 is
still relatively conservative ]

dmirror_device_init() calls device_initialize() which sets the device
reference count to 1, but fails to call put_device() when error occurs
after dev_set_name() or cdev_device_add() failures. This results in
memory leaks of struct device objects. Additionally,
dmirror_device_remove() lacks the final put_device() call to properly
release the device reference.
Found by code review.

Add HMM_DMIRROR_FLAG_FAIL_ALLOC flag to simulate large page allocation
failures, enabling testing of split migration code paths.
This test flag allows validation of the fallback behavior when destination
device cannot allocate compound pages. This is useful for testing the
split migration functionality.
