Core & protocols
----------------
- Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock
(IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls).
- Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver
opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool
operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock.
- Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked)
in BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower
overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.
- Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy
Rx via io_uring.
- Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%.
- Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued
for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream performance
up to 2x.
- Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching
for an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock.
Bring an additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution.
- Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving
performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%.
- Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under
ping flood.
- Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win.
- Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly
identify network namespaces and their roles.
There are up to 4 namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns
pointer arguments, interpreted differently based on context.
- Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid
deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access.
- Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout
in TCP.
- Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches.
- Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST.
- Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP
sockets.
- Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin users.
- Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack.
- Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols
which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a module.
- Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar
to normal bridging.
- Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels.
- netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name
to messages as metadata
Driver API
----------
- Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across
the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where possible.
Improve its handling in phylib.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the first of the io_uring pull requests for the 6.15 merge
window, there will be others once the net tree has gone in. This
contains:
- Cleanup and unification of cancelation handling across various
request types.
- Improvement for bundles, supporting them both for incrementally
consumed buffers, and for non-multishot requests.
- Enable toggling of using iowait while waiting on io_uring events or
not. Unfortunately this is still tied with CPU frequency boosting
on short waits, as the scheduler side has not been very receptive
to splitting the (useless) iowait stat from the cpufreq implied
boost.
- Add support for kbuf nodes, enabling zero-copy support for the ublk
block driver.
- Various cleanups for resource node handling.
- Series greatly cleaning up the legacy provided (non-ring based)
buffers. For years, we've been pushing the ring provided buffers as
the way to go, and that is what people have been using. Reduce the
complexity and code associated with legacy provided buffers.
- Series cleaning up the compat handling.
- Series improving and cleaning up the recvmsg/sendmsg iovec and msg
handling.
- Series of cleanups for io-wq.
- Start adding a bunch of selftests. The liburing repository
generally carries feature and regression tests for everything, but
at least for ublk initially, we'll try and go the route of having
it in selftests as well. We'll see how this goes, might decide to
migrate more tests this way in the future.
- Various little cleanups and fixes"

* Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM
* Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace
* Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers
* Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU implementations
where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue of guest CPU
errata awareness in big-little systems and cross-implementation VM
migration
* Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation
* pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat
* Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events
LoongArch:
* Remove unnecessary header include path
* Assume constant PGD during VM context switch
* Add perf events support for guest VM
RISC-V:
* Disable the kernel perf counter during configure
* KVM selftests improvements for PMU
* Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal
x86:
* Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock. Not taking mmu_lock
allows multiple aging actions to run in parallel, and more importantly avoids
stalling vCPUs. This includes an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking;
aging the gfn is done with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas
locking an rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and
the mmu_lock.
Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page information,
because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not use atomic operations
even if they could race against a clear of the Accessed bit. This is
deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false positives/negatives for
accessed information, and testing has shown that reducing the latency of
aging is far more beneficial to overall system performance than providing
"perfect" young/old information.
* Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction, to
coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are changing, e.g. as
part of a nested transition.
* Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for synthesizing
nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting #UD into L2).
* Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do not set
SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3)
* Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has accumulated
a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy vCPUs before
the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation.
* Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the
future TDX
* Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not make
sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not
available for reading or writing.
* Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend notifier to
fix a largely theoretical deadlock.
* Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the Xen timer,
as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus.
* Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across different
PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as KVM's suspend
notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no evidence that the
flag is actually supported by Xen guests.
* Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead only
track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which is moderately
expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern setups).
* Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are initiated by
the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs where KVM can write to
guest memory at unexpected times, e.g. during vCPU creation if userspace has
set the Xen hypercall MSR index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates.
* Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR index to the unofficial synthetic range to
reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are emulated by KVM
(collisions can still happen as KVM emulates Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside
in the synthetic range).
* Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and xen_hvm_config.
* Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying the CPUID
entries when updating PV clocks; there is no guarantee PV clocks will be
updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID emulation, and guest reads
of the TSC leaves should be rare, i.e. are not a hot path.
x86 (Intel):
* Fix a bug where KVM unnecessarily reads XFD_ERR from hardware and thus
modifies the vCPU's XFD_ERR on a #NM due to CR0.TS=1.
* Pass XFD_ERR as the payload when injecting #NM, as a preparatory step
for upcoming FRED virtualization support.
* Decouple the EPT entry RWX protection bit macros from the EPT Violation
bits, both as a general cleanup and in anticipation of adding support for
emulating Mode-Based Execution Control (MBEC).
* Reject KVM_RUN if userspace manages to gain control and stuff invalid guest
state while KVM is in the middle of emulating nested VM-Enter.
* Add a macro to handle KVM's sanity checks on entry/exit VMCS control pairs
in anticipation of adding sanity checks for secondary exit controls (the
primary field is out of bits).
x86 (AMD):
* Ensure the PSP driver is initialized when both the PSP and KVM modules are
built-in (the initcall framework doesn't handle dependencies).
* Use long-term pins when registering encrypted memory regions, so that the
pages are migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE and don't lead to
excessive fragmentation.
* Add macros and helpers for setting GHCB return/error codes.
* Add support for Idle HLT interception, which elides interception if the vCPU
has a pending, unmasked virtual IRQ when HLT is executed.
* Fix a bug in INVPCID emulation where KVM fails to check for a non-canonical
address.
* Don't attempt VMRUN for SEV-ES+ guests if the vCPU's VMSA is invalid, e.g.
because the vCPU was "destroyed" via SNP's AP Creation hypercall.
* Reject SNP AP Creation if the requested SEV features for the vCPU don't
match the VM's configured set of features.
Selftests:
* Fix again the Intel PMU counters test; add a data load and do CLFLUSH{OPT} on the data
instead of executing code. The theory is that modern Intel CPUs have
learned new code prefetching tricks that bypass the PMU counters.
* Fix a flaw in the Intel PMU counters test where it asserts that an event is
counting correctly without actually knowing what the event counts on the
underlying hardware.
* Fix a variety of flaws, bugs, and false failures/passes dirty_log_test, and
improve its coverage by collecting all dirty entries on each iteration.
* Fix a few minor bugs related to handling of stats FDs.
* Add infrastructure to make vCPU and VM stats FDs available to tests by
default (open the FDs during VM/vCPU creation).
* Relax an assertion on the number of HLT exits in the xAPIC IPI test when
running on a CPU that supports AMD's Idle HLT (which elides interception of
HLT if a virtual IRQ is pending and unmasked).

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Nested virtualization support for VGICv3, giving the nested
hypervisor control of the VGIC hardware when running an L2 VM
- Removal of 'late' nested virtualization feature register masking,
making the supported feature set directly visible to userspace
- Support for emulating FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple silicon, taking advantage
of an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED trap that covers all PMUv3 registers
- Paravirtual interface for discovering the set of CPU
implementations where a VM may run, addressing a longstanding issue
of guest CPU errata awareness in big-little systems and
cross-implementation VM migration
- Userspace control of the registers responsible for identifying a
particular CPU implementation (MIDR_EL1, REVIDR_EL1, AIDR_EL1),
allowing VMs to be migrated cross-implementation
- pKVM updates, including support for tracking stage-2 page table
allocations in the protected hypervisor in the 'SecPageTable' stat
- Fixes to vPMU, ensuring that userspace updates to the vPMU after
KVM_RUN are reflected into the backing perf events
LoongArch:
- Remove unnecessary header include path
- Assume constant PGD during VM context switch
- Add perf events support for guest VM
RISC-V:
- Disable the kernel perf counter during configure
- KVM selftests improvements for PMU
- Fix warning at the time of KVM module removal
x86:
- Add support for aging of SPTEs without holding mmu_lock.
Not taking mmu_lock allows multiple aging actions to run in
parallel, and more importantly avoids stalling vCPUs. This includes
an implementation of per-rmap-entry locking; aging the gfn is done
with only a per-rmap single-bin spinlock taken, whereas locking an
rmap for write requires taking both the per-rmap spinlock and the
mmu_lock.
Note that this decreases slightly the accuracy of accessed-page
information, because changes to the SPTE outside aging might not
use atomic operations even if they could race against a clear of
the Accessed bit.
This is deliberate because KVM and mm/ tolerate false
positives/negatives for accessed information, and testing has shown
that reducing the latency of aging is far more beneficial to
overall system performance than providing "perfect" young/old
information.
- Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction,
to coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are
changing, e.g. as part of a nested transition
- Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for
synthesizing nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting
#UD into L2)
- Drop "support" for async page faults for protected guests that do
not set SEND_ALWAYS (i.e. that only want async page faults at CPL3)
- Bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has
accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. Particularly, destroy
vCPUs before the MMU, despite the latter being a VM-wide operation
- Add common secure TSC infrastructure for use within SNP and in the
future TDX
- Block KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS if guest state is protected. It does not
make sense to use the capability if the relevant registers are not
available for reading or writing
- Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend
notifier to fix a largely theoretical deadlock
- Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the
Xen timer, as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus
- Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across
different PV clocks; restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as
KVM's suspend notifier only accounts for kvmclock, and there's no

- Consolidate the VDSO storage
The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort
and causes inconsistencies over and over.
There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and
implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
duplicated code for managing the mappings.
Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
functionalities without conflict and interaction.
- Rework the timekeeping data storage
The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping
accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed.
PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to
system timekeeping.
Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

- Fix a memory ordering issue in posix-timers
Posix-timer lookup is lockless and reevaluates the timer validity under
the timer lock, but the update which validates the timer is not
protected by the timer lock. That allows the store to be reordered
against the initialization stores, so that the lookup side can observe
a partially initialized timer. That's mostly a theoretical problem, but
incorrect nevertheless.
- Fix a long standing inconsistency of the coarse time getters
The coarse time getters read the base time of the current update cycle
without reading the actual hardware clock. NTP frequency adjustment can
set the base time backwards. The fine grained interfaces compensate
this by reading the clock and applying the new conversion factor, but
the coarse grained time getters use the base time directly. That allows
the user to observe time going backwards.
Cure it by always forwarding base time, when NTP changes the frequency
with an immediate step.
- Rework of posix-timer hashing
The posix-timer hash is not scalable and due to the CRIU timer restore
mechanism prone to massive contention on the global hash bucket lock.
Replace the global hash lock with a fine grained per bucket locking
scheme to address that.
- Rework the proc/$PID/timers interface.
/proc/$PID/timers is provided for CRIU to be able to restore a
timer. The printout happens with sighand lock held and interrupts
disabled. That's not required as this can be done with RCU protection
as well.
- Provide a sane mechanism for CRIU to restore a timer ID
CRIU restores timers by creating and deleting them until the kernel
internal per process ID counter reached the requested ID. That's
horribly slow for sparse timer IDs.
Provide a prctl() which allows CRIU to restore a timer with a given
ID. When enabled the ID pointer is used as input pointer to read the
requested ID from user space. When disabled, the normal allocation
scheme (next ID) is active as before. This is backwards compatible for
both kernel and user space.
- Make hrtimer_update_function() less expensive.
The sanity checks are valuable, but expensive for high frequency usage
in io/uring. Make the debug checks conditional and enable them only
when lockdep is enabled.
- Small updates, cleanups and improvements

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a memory ordering issue in posix-timers
Posix-timer lookup is lockless and reevaluates the timer validity
under the timer lock, but the update which validates the timer is not
protected by the timer lock. That allows the store to be reordered
against the initialization stores, so that the lookup side can
observe a partially initialized timer. That's mostly a theoretical
problem, but incorrect nevertheless.
- Fix a long standing inconsistency of the coarse time getters
The coarse time getters read the base time of the current update
cycle without reading the actual hardware clock. NTP frequency
adjustment can set the base time backwards. The fine grained
interfaces compensate this by reading the clock and applying the new
conversion factor, but the coarse grained time getters use the base
time directly. That allows the user to observe time going backwards.
Cure it by always forwarding base time, when NTP changes the
frequency with an immediate step.
- Rework of posix-timer hashing
The posix-timer hash is not scalable and due to the CRIU timer
restore mechanism prone to massive contention on the global hash
bucket lock.
Replace the global hash lock with a fine grained per bucket locking
scheme to address that.
- Rework the proc/$PID/timers interface.
/proc/$PID/timers is provided for CRIU to be able to restore a timer.
The printout happens with sighand lock held and interrupts disabled.
That's not required as this can be done with RCU protection as well.
- Provide a sane mechanism for CRIU to restore a timer ID
CRIU restores timers by creating and deleting them until the kernel
internal per process ID counter reached the requested ID. That's
horribly slow for sparse timer IDs.
Provide a prctl() which allows CRIU to restore a timer with a given
ID. When enabled the ID pointer is used as input pointer to read the
requested ID from user space. When disabled, the normal allocation
scheme (next ID) is active as before. This is backwards compatible
for both kernel and user space.
- Make hrtimer_update_function() less expensive.
The sanity checks are valuable, but expensive for high frequency
usage in io/uring. Make the debug checks conditional and enable them
only when lockdep is enabled.
- Small updates, cleanups and improvements

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_COMPLETION, for requesting a software timestamp
when hardware reports a packet completed.
Completion tstamp is useful for Bluetooth, as hardware timestamps do not
exist in the HCI specification except for ISO packets, and the hardware
has a queue where packets may wait. In this case the software SND
timestamp only reflects the kernel-side part of the total latency
(usually small) and queue length (usually 0 unless HW buffers
congested), whereas the completion report time is more informative of
the true latency.
It may also be useful in other cases where HW TX timestamps cannot be
obtained and user wants to estimate an upper bound to when the TX
probably happened.

Support adjusting/reading RTO MIN for socket level by using set/getsockopt().
This new option has the same effect as TCP_BPF_RTO_MIN, which means it
doesn't affect RTAX_RTO_MIN usage (by using ip route...). Considering that
bpf option was implemented before this patch, so we need to use a standalone
new option for pure tcp set/getsockopt() use.
When the socket is created, its icsk_rto_min is set to the default
value that is controlled by sysctl_tcp_rto_min_us. Then if application
calls setsockopt() with TCP_RTO_MIN_US flag to pass a valid value, then
icsk_rto_min will be overridden in jiffies unit.
This patch adds WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE to avoid data-race around
icsk_rto_min.

Pull vfs pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
- Allow retrieving exit information after a process has been reaped
through pidfds via the new PIDFD_INTO_EXIT extension for the
PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl. Various tools need access to information about
a process/task even after it has already been reaped.
Pidfd polling allows waiting on either task exit or for a task to
have been reaped. The contract for PIDFD_INFO_EXIT is simply that
EPOLLHUP must be observed before exit information can be retrieved,
i.e., exit information is only provided once the task has been reaped
and then can be retrieved as long as the pidfd is open.
- Add PIDFD_SELF_{THREAD,THREAD_GROUP} sentinels allowing userspace to
forgo allocating a file descriptor for their own process. This is
useful in scenarios where users want to act on their own process
through pidfds and is akin to AT_FDCWD.
- Improve premature thread-group leader and subthread exec behavior
when polling on pidfds:
(1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e.,
non-thread-group leader thread, all other threads in the
thread-group including the thread-group leader are killed and the
struct pid of the thread-group leader will be taken over by the
subthread that called exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs.
(2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group
leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the
thread-group have exited.
Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with
PIDFD_THREAD. Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the
current thread-group leader may or may not see an exit notification
on the file descriptor depending on when poll is performed. If the
poll is performed before the exec of the subthread has concluded an
exit notification is generated for the old thread-group leader. If
the poll is performed after the exec of the subthread has concluded
no exit notification is generated for the old thread-group leader.
The correct behavior is to simply not generate an exit notification
on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct pid is
taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive.
But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit
premature as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is
reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an
indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point.
After this pull no exit notifications will be generated for a
PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a thread-group leader until all subthreads
have been reaped. If a subthread should exec before no exit
notification will be generated until that task exits or it creates
subthreads and repeates the cycle.
This means an exit notification indicates the ability for the father
to reap the child.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Mount notifications
The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().
- Allow superblock owners to force unmount

Provide a set of IOCTLs for creating and managing child partitions when
running as root partition on Hyper-V. The new driver is enabled via
CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT.
A brief overview of the interface:
MSHV_CREATE_PARTITION is the entry point, returning a file descriptor
representing a child partition. IOCTLs on this fd can be used to map
memory, create VPs, etc.
Creating a VP returns another file descriptor representing that VP which
in turn has another set of corresponding IOCTLs for running the VP,
getting/setting state, etc.
MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL is a generic "passthrough" hypercall IOCTL which can be
used for a number of partition or VP hypercalls. This is for hypercalls
that do not affect any state in the kernel driver, such as getting and
setting VP registers and partition properties, translating addresses,
etc. It is "passthrough" because the binary input and output for the
hypercall is only interpreted by the VMM - the kernel driver does
nothing but insert the VP and partition id where necessary (which are
always in the same place), and execute the hypercall.

By default, io_uring marks a waiting task as being in iowait, if it's
sleeping waiting on events and there are pending requests. This isn't
necessarily always useful, and may be confusing on non-storage setups
where iowait isn't expected. It can also cause extra power usage, by
preventing the CPU from entering lower sleep states.
This adds a new enter flag, IORING_ENTER_NO_IOWAIT. If set, then
io_uring will not account the sleeping task as being in iowait. If the
kernel supports this feature, then it will be marked by having the
IORING_FEAT_NO_IOWAIT feature flag set.
As the kernel currently does not support separating the iowait
accounting and CPU frequency boosting, the IORING_ENTER_NO_IOWAIT
controls both of these at the same time. In the future, if those do end
up being split, then it'd be possible to control them separately.
However, it seems more likely that the kernel will decouple iowait and
CPU frequency boosting anyway.

When we currently create a pidfd we check that the task hasn't been
reaped right before we create the pidfd. But it is of course possible
that by the time we return the pidfd to userspace the task has already
been reaped since we don't check again after having created a dentry for
it.
This was fine until now because that race was meaningless. But now that
we provide PIDFD_INFO_EXIT it is a problem because it is possible that
the kernel returns a reaped pidfd and it depends on the race whether
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available. This depends on if the task
gets reaped before or after a dentry has been attached to struct pid.
Make this consistent and only returned pidfds for reaped tasks if
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available. This is done by performing
another check whether the task has been reaped right after we attached a
dentry to struct pid.
Since pidfs_exit() is called before struct pid's task linkage is removed
the case where the task got reaped but a dentry was already attached to
struct pid and exit information was recorded and published can be
handled correctly. In that case we do return a pidfd for a reaped task
like we would've before.

The commit 97c79a38cd ("perf core: Per event callchain limit")
introduced a per-event term to allow finer tuning of the depth of
callchains to save space.
It should be applied to the branch stack as well. For example, autoFDO
collections require maximum LBR entries. In the meantime, other
system-wide LBR users may only be interested in the latest a few number
of LBRs. A per-event LBR depth would save the perf output buffer.
The patch simply drops the uninterested branches, but HW still collects
the maximum branches. There may be a model-specific optimization that
can reduce the HW depth for some cases to reduce the overhead further.
But it isn't included in the patch set. Because it's not useful for all
cases. For example, ARCH LBR can utilize the PEBS and XSAVE to collect
LBRs. The depth should have less impact on the collecting overhead.
The model-specific optimization may be implemented later separately.

Checkpoint/Restore in Userspace (CRIU) requires to reconstruct posix timers
with the same timer ID on restore. It uses sys_timer_create() and relies on
the monotonic increasing timer ID provided by this syscall. It creates and
deletes timers until the desired ID is reached. This is can loop for a long
time, when the checkpointed process had a very sparse timer ID range.
It has been debated to implement a new syscall to allow the creation of
timers with a given timer ID, but that's tideous due to the 32/64bit compat
issues of sigevent_t and of dubious value.
The restore mechanism of CRIU creates the timers in a state where all
threads of the restored process are held on a barrier and cannot issue
syscalls. That means the restorer task has exclusive control.
This allows to address this issue with a prctl() so that the restorer
thread can do:
if (prctl(PR_TIMER_CREATE_RESTORE_IDS, PR_TIMER_CREATE_RESTORE_IDS_ON))
goto linear_mode;
create_timers_with_explicit_ids();
prctl(PR_TIMER_CREATE_RESTORE_IDS, PR_TIMER_CREATE_RESTORE_IDS_OFF);
This is backwards compatible because the prctl() fails on older kernels and
CRIU can fall back to the linear timer ID mechanism. CRIU versions which do
not know about the prctl() just work as before.
Implement the prctl() and modify timer_create() so that it copies the
requested timer ID from userspace by utilizing the existing timer_t
pointer, which is used to copy out the allocated timer ID on success.
If the prctl() is disabled, which it is by default, timer_create() works as
before and does not try to read from the userspace pointer.
There is no problem when a broken or rogue user space application enables
the prctl(). If the user space pointer does not contain a valid ID, then
timer_create() fails. If the data is not initialized, but constains a
random valid ID, timer_create() will create that random timer ID or fail if
the ID is already given out.
As CRIU must use the raw syscall to avoid manipulating the internal state
of the restored process, this has no library dependencies and can be
adopted by CRIU right away.
Recreating two timers with IDs 1000000 and 2000000 takes 1.5 seconds with
the create/delete method. With the prctl() it takes 3 microseconds.

Some tools like systemd's jounral need to retrieve the exit and cgroup
information after a process has already been reaped. This can e.g.,
happen when retrieving a pidfd via SCM_PIDFD or SCM_PEERPIDFD.

Since commit 05c1280a2b ("netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL to
dev->netns_local"), there is no way to see if the netns_immutable property
s set on a device. Let's add a netlink attribute to advertise it.

The in-tree ublk driver doesn't need DMA alignment limit because there
is one data copy between request pages and the userspace buffer.
However, ublk is going to support zero copy, then DMA alignment limit
is required, because same IO buffer is forwarded to backend which may
have specific buffer DMA alignment limit, so the limit has to be exposed
from the frontend driver to client application.
