from Jinchao Wang provides a number of cleanups to the panic code and
its various helpers, which were rather ad-hoc and scattered all over the
place.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP sockets
and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS.
- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance by
an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions.
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism has
some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW offloads
capabilities.
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more than
one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building block for
Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S).
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath.
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA hosts,
this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on such HW.
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds.
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making dump
operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded synchronize_rcu() on
delete.
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per bridge
instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of magnitude
faster on large switches.
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO segmentation
time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios.
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets.
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting recent
TCP autotuning changes.
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down.
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups.
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races.
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR, reducing
code duplication.
- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an XDP
buffer.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated
YAML parser.
Driver API
----------
- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
selection.
- Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue, allowing
TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups.
- Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
datapath.
- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide the
number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX
ring queries and RSS configuration.
- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause.
- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average, controlling
the average smoothing factor.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:
- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP
sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS
- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance
by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism
has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW
offloads capabilities
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more
than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building
block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA
hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on
such HW
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
better fit modern link speeds
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making
dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded
synchronize_rcu() on delete
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per
bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of
magnitude faster on large switches
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO
segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting
recent TCP autotuning changes
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
administratively down
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
connection and simplify common MPTCP setups
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,
reducing code duplication
- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an
XDP buffer
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML
parser
Driver API:
- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
selection

easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
datapath
- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide
the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity
in RX ring queries and RSS configuration
- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause
- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average,
controlling the average smoothing factor
Device drivers:
- Add a new Huawei driver for 3rd gen NIC (hinic3)
- Add a new SpacemiT driver for K1 ethernet MAC
- Add a generic abstraction for shared memory communication
devices (dibps)

- FC target fixes (Daniel)
- Authentication fixes and updates (Martin, Chris)
- Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
- Target lockdep assertions (Max)
- Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
- Suspend quirk (Georg)
- MD pull request via Yu:
- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.
- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.
- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.
The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.
- floppy arch cleanups
- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands
- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.
- A few s390 dasd block fixes
- Fix a few issues around atomic writes
- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests
- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.
We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
only the request as a whole needs to.
- Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
payloads
- Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate
- Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections
- Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs
- Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device

- Introduce irq_chip_[startup|shutdown]_parent() to prepare for
addressing a few short comings in the PCI/MSI interrupt subsystem.
It allows to utilize the interrupt chip startup/shutdown callbacks for
initializing the interrupt chip hierarchy properly on certain RISCV
implementations and provides a mechanism to reduce the overhead of
masking and unmasking PCI/MSI interrupts during operation when the
underlying MSI provider can mask the interrupt.
The actual usage comes with the interrupt driver pull request.
- Add generic error handling for devm_request_*_irq()
This allows to remove the zoo of random error printk's all over the
usage sites.
- Add a mechanism to warn about long-running interrupt handlers
Long running interrupt handlers can introduce latencies and tracking
them down is a tedious task. The tracking has to be enabled with a
threshold on the kernel command line and utilizes a static branch to
remove the overhead when disabled.
- Update and extend the selftests which validate the CPU hotplug
interrupt migration logic
- Allow dropping the per CPU softirq lock on PREEMPT_RT kernels, which
causes contention and latencies all over the place.
The serialization requirements have been pushed down into the actual
affected usage sites already.
- The usual small cleanups and improvements

Merge tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
Cleanups:
- Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK
- Make file_remove_privs_flags() static
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used
- Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()
- Use try_cmpxchg() in sb_init_done_wq()
- Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()
- Remove vfs_ioctl() export
- Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes
priority inversion on preempt rt kernels
- Make ns_entries in fs/proc/namespaces const
- Use a switch() statement() in init_special_inode() just like we do
in may_open()
- Use struct_size() in dir_add() in the initramfs code
- Use str_plural() in rd_load_image()
- Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in find_link()
- Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and
generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop()
- Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint()
Fixes:
- Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper
- Fix spelling mistake
- Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor
number
- Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a
signed overflow
- Fix debugfs mount options not being applied
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs
- Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV
If openat2() was called with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV it didn't traverse
through automounts, but could still trigger them
- Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
tracepoints
- Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390
- Make INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME depend on BLK_DEV_INITRD
- Use ns_capable_noaudit() when determining net sysctl permissions

platform/x86: lg-laptop: Fix WMAB call in fan_mode_store()
platform/x86: dell-lis3lv02d: Add Latitude E6530
platform/x86/dell: Set USTT mode according to BIOS after reboot
platform/x86/amd/pmc: Add Stellaris Slim Gen6 AMD to spurious 8042 quirks list
When WMAB is called to set the fan mode, the new mode is read from either
bits 0-1 or bits 4-5 (depending on the value of some other EC register).
Thus when WMAB is called with bits 4-5 zeroed and called again with
bits 0-1 zeroed, the second call undoes the effect of the first call.
This causes writes to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/fan_mode to have
no effect (and causes reads to always report a status of zero).
Fix this by calling WMAB once, with the mode set in bits 0,1 and 4,5.
When the fan mode is returned from WMAB it always has this form, so
there is no need to preserve the other bits. As a bonus, the driver
now supports the "Performance" fan mode seen in the LG-provided Windows
control app, which provides less aggressive CPU throttling but louder
fan noise and shorter battery life.
Also, correct the documentation to reflect that 0 corresponds to the
default mode (what the Windows app calls "Optimal") and 1 corresponds
to the silent mode.

After commit acd7ccb284 ("mm: shmem: add large folio support for
tmpfs"), we have extended tmpfs to allow any sized large folios, rather
than just PMD-sized large folios.
The strategy discussed previously was:
: Considering that tmpfs already has the 'huge=' option to control the
: PMD-sized large folios allocation, we can extend the 'huge=' option to
: allow any sized large folios. The semantics of the 'huge=' mount option
: are:
:
: huge=never: no any sized large folios
: huge=always: any sized large folios
: huge=within_size: like 'always' but respect the i_size
: huge=advise: like 'always' if requested with madvise()
:
: Note: for tmpfs mmap() faults, due to the lack of a write size hint, still
: allocate the PMD-sized huge folios if huge=always/within_size/advise is
: set.
:
: Moreover, the 'deny' and 'force' testing options controlled by
: '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', still retain the same
: semantics. The 'deny' can disable any sized large folios for tmpfs, while
: the 'force' can enable PMD sized large folios for tmpfs.
This means that when tmpfs is mounted with 'huge=always' or
'huge=within_size', tmpfs will allow getting a highest order hint based on
the size of write() and fallocate() paths. It will then try each
allowable large order, rather than continually attempting to allocate
PMD-sized large folios as before.
However, this might break some user scenarios for those who want to use
PMD-sized large folios, such as the i915 driver which did not supply a
write size hint when allocating shmem [1].
Moreover, Hugh also complained that this will cause a regression in userspace
with 'huge=always' or 'huge=within_size'.
So, let's revisit the strategy for tmpfs large page allocation. A simple fix
would be to always try PMD-sized large folios first, and if that fails, fall
back to smaller large folios. This approach differs from the strategy for
large folio allocation used by other file systems, however, tmpfs is somewhat
different from other file systems, as quoted from David's opinion:
: There were opinions in the past that tmpfs should just behave like any
: other fs, and I think that's what we tried to satisfy here: use the write
: size as an indication.
:
: I assume there will be workloads where either approach will be beneficial.
: I also assume that workloads that use ordinary fs'es could benefit from
: the same strategy (start with PMD), while others will clearly not.

Adds the support for HiSilicon NoC (Network on Chip) PMU which
will be used to monitor the events on the system bus. The PMU
device will be named after the SCL ID (either Super CPU cluster
or Super IO cluster) and the index ID, just similar to other
HiSilicon Uncore PMUs. Below PMU formats are provided besides
the event:
- ch: the transaction channel (data, request, response, etc) which
can be used to filter the counting.
- tt_en: tracetag filtering enable. Just as other HiSilicon Uncore
PMUs the NoC PMU supports only counting the transactions with
tracetag.
The NoC PMU doesn't have an interrupt to indicate the overflow.
However we have a 64 bit counter which is large enough and it's
nearly impossible to overflow.

As per admin guide documentation, "rodata=on" should be the default on
platforms. Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt describes
these options as
rodata= [KNL,EARLY]
on Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
off Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
full Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
[arm64]
But on arm64 platform, RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED is enabled by default,
so "rodata=full" is the default instead.
For parity with other architectures, namely x86, rework 'rodata=on' to
match the current "full" behaviour and replace 'rodata=full' with a new
'rodata=noalias' option which retains writable aliases in the direct map
for memory regions outside of the kernel image.

Pull vmescape mitigation fixes from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate vmscape issue with indirect branch predictor flushes.
vmscape is a vulnerability that essentially takes Spectre-v2 and
attacks host userspace from a guest. It particularly affects
hypervisors like QEMU.
Even if a hypervisor may not have any sensitive data like disk
encryption keys, guest-userspace may be able to attack the
guest-kernel using the hypervisor as a confused deputy.
There are many ways to mitigate vmscape using the existing Spectre-v2
defenses like IBRS variants or the IBPB flushes. This series focuses
solely on IBPB because it works universally across vendors and all
vulnerable processors. Further work doing vendor and model-specific
optimizations can build on top of this if needed / wanted.
Do the normal issue mitigation dance:
- Add the CPU bug boilerplate
- Add a list of vulnerable CPUs
- Use IBPB to flush the branch predictors after running guests"

The ov6650 driver was introduced in v2.6.37 to support the OMAP1-based
Amstrad Delta video phone. The platform still has a board file in the
kernel, but support for the camera was dropped in commit ce548396a4
("media: mach-omap1: board-ams-delta.c: remove soc_camera dependencies")
in v5.9. The driver has been unused since as it has received neither
ACPI nor DT support.
The ov6650 driver is one of the last sensor drivers calling
clk_set_rate(). This is deprecated, and calls to the function are being
removed to avoid cargo-cult. As the driver is unlikely to ever be used
again, drop it instead of trying to avoid call clk_set_rate().

Redundant data is used to enhance data fault tolerance, and the storage
method for redundant data vary depending on the RAID levels. And it's
important to maintain the consistency of redundant data.
Bitmap is used to record which data blocks have been synchronized and which
ones need to be resynchronized or recovered. Each bit in the bitmap
represents a segment of data in the array. When a bit is set, it indicates
that the multiple redundant copies of that data segment may not be
consistent. Data synchronization can be performed based on the bitmap after
power failure or readding a disk. If there is no bitmap, a full disk
synchronization is required.
Due to known performance issues with md-bitmap and the unreasonable
implementations:
- self-managed IO submitting like filemap_write_page();
- global spin_lock
I have decided not to continue optimizing based on the current bitmap
implementation, this new bitmap is invented without locking from IO fast
path and can be used with fast disks.
For designs and details, see the comments in drivers/md-llbitmap.c.

Attack vector controls for SSB were missed in the initial attack vector series.
The default mitigation for SSB requires user-space opt-in so it is only
relevant for user->user attacks. Check with attack vector controls when
the command is auto - i.e., no explicit user selection has been done.

There isn't yet a clear way to identify a set of "lost" time that
everyone (or at least a wider group of users) cares about. However,
users can perform some delay accounting by iterating over components of
interest. This patch allows cgroup v2 freezing time to be one of those
components.
Track the cumulative time that each v2 cgroup spends freezing and expose
it to userland via a new local stat file in cgroupfs. Thank you to
Michal, who provided the ASCII art in the updated documentation.
To access this value:
$ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.stat.local
freeze_time_total 0
Ensure consistent freeze time reads with freeze_seq, a per-cgroup
sequence counter. Writes are serialized using the css_set_lock.
