Rust fixes for v6.9
- Soundness: make internal functions generated by the 'module!' macro
inaccessible, do not implement 'Zeroable' for 'Infallible' and
require 'Send' for the 'Module' trait.
- Build: avoid errors with "empty" files and workaround 'rustdoc' ICE.
- Kconfig: depend on '!CFI_CLANG' and avoid selecting 'CONSTRUCTORS'.
- Code docs: remove non-existing key from 'module!' macro example.
- Docs: trivial rendering fix in arch table.

rust: make mutually exclusive with CFI_CLANG
On RISC-V and arm64, and presumably x86, if CFI_CLANG is enabled,
loading a rust module will trigger a kernel panic. Support for
sanitisers, including kcfi (CFI_CLANG), is in the works, but for now
they're nightly-only options in rustc. Make RUST depend on !CFI_CLANG
to prevent configuring a kernel without symmetrical support for kfi.
[ Matthew Maurer writes [1]:
This patch is fine by me - the last patch needed for KCFI to be
functional in Rust just landed upstream last night, so we should
revisit this (in the form of enabling it) once we move to
`rustc-1.79.0` or later.
Ramon de C Valle also gave feedback [2] on the status of KCFI for
Rust and created a tracking issue [3] in upstream Rust. - Miguel ]

init/main.c: Fix potential static_command_line memory overflow
We allocate memory of size 'xlen + strlen(boot_command_line) + 1' for static_command_line, but the strings copied into static_command_line are extra_command_line and command_line, rather than extra_command_line and boot_command_line. When strlen(command_line) > strlen(boot_command_line), static_command_line will overflow. This patch just recovers strlen(command_line) which was miss-consolidated with strlen(boot_command_line) in the commit |

fs/proc: Skip bootloader comment if no embedded kernel parameters
If the "bootconfig" kernel command-line argument was specified or if the kernel was built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE, but if there are no embedded kernel parameter, omit the "# Parameters from bootloader:" comment from the /proc/bootconfig file. This will cause automation to fall back to the /proc/cmdline file, which will be identical to the comment in this no-embedded-kernel-parameters case.

init: open output files from cpio unpacking with O_LARGEFILE
If a member of a cpio archive for an initrd or initrams is larger than 2Gb, we'll eventually fail to write to that file when we get to that limit, unless O_LARGEFILE is set. The problem can be seen with this recipe, assuming that BLK_DEV_RAM is not configured: cd /tmp dd if=/dev/zero of=BIGFILE bs=1048576 count=2200 echo BIGFILE | cpio -o -H newc -R root:root > initrd.img kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) --initrd=initrd.img --reuse-cmdline kexec -e The console will show 'Initramfs unpacking failed: write error'. With the patch, the error is gone.

rust: don't select CONSTRUCTORS
This was originally part of commit 4b9a68f2e59a0 ("rust: add support for
static synchronisation primitives") from the old Rust branch, which used
module constructors to initialize globals containing various
synchronisation primitives with pin-init. That commit has never been
upstreamed, but the `select CONSTRUCTORS` statement ended up being
included in the patch that initially added Rust support to the Linux
Kernel.
We are not using module constructors, so let's remove the select.

- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements
in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x
improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Modules changes for v6.9-rc1
Christophe Leroy did most of the work on this release, first with a few
cleanups on CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and ending with error handling for
when set_memory_XX() can fail. This is part of a larger effort to clean
up all these callers which can fail, modules is just part of it.
This has been sitting on linux-next for about a month without issues.

Networking changes for 6.9.
Core & protocols
----------------
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps etc.)
lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core
instead of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length
and budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global config
variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug
of ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for
use on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and introduce
VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of
ksft exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter
---------
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a daemon
(via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this table when
the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as orphaned and
a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set type.
Compact a few related data structures.
BPF
---
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between BPF
program and user space where structures inside the arena can have
pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work seamlessly
for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the verifier
and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop assuming it's
behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF objects.
Wireless
--------
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API
----------
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to support
new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between drivers
(especially those using phylib), and encourage more uniform behavior.
Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc
----
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions,
and packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message encapsulation
or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of nested attributes
depends on link type, classifier type or some other "class type".

Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation:
The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
- It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
- The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is in
the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology evaluation.
- The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and guest
specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in case of
XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
- The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
- There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing up
the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which needs
to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if that would be
possible.
- The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is incomprehensible
and overly complex and needs to be kept around after boot instead of
completing this right after the APIC enumeration.
This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
- Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors and
provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform way
independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module, ..., Die,
Package) so that this information can be computed instead of rewriting
global variables of dubious value over and over.
- A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
- Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries to
find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at registration
time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run on
the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent sending
INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset the whole
machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command line
parameter, which does not even work in nested crash scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and prevents
the late registration of APICs, which was somehow tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the parsers
and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV] handling so it can
use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows for
cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout due to
a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the admission
logic further.

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.pidfd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner:
- Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but
not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply
had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that
need support for this.
This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that
flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific
thread.
In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with
CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before.
A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that
refers to a thread-group leader:
(1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified
when the task has exited.
For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group
leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its
thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the
thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the
thread-group exits.
For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread exits.
(2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does.
Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does.
The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type
of the pidfd.
Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided
pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to
pidfd_send_signal():
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD
Send a thread-specific signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP
Send a thread-group directed signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP
Send a process-group directed signal.
The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually
used for this scope.
For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the
provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and
similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be
used as a process group leader.
- Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo
filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do
simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes.
Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds
to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by
inode number which are unique for the system lifetime.
Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash
it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts
that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed.
A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that
file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds.
Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same
struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple
times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same
inode.
The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace
exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no
complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always
deleted when the last pidfd is closed.
We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse
that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct
pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not
selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs.
The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic
infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The
path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location,
an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be
used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open().
The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided
stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a
new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location.
If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the
newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the
same namespace or task are then able to reuse it.
- Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited,
i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We
now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying
userspace with EPOLLHUP.
- Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead
of the confusing EBADF.
- Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
- Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
- Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
- Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
- Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
times.
- Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
- Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
insensitive operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to
remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
odd behaviors.
Cleanups:
- Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
- Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
- Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
filemap code.
- The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
fs/
- It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
extraction. Remove it.
- Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
case.
- Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
- Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
be made static as it's only used in that one file.
- Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
saves a bit of time for the same workload.
- Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
kmem_cache_create().
- Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
- Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
- Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes:
- Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
- Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
- Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
- Fix build errors in various selftests.
- Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
- Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
idmapped mounts.
- Fix sysv sb_read() call.
- Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

modules: wait do_free_init correctly
The synchronization here is to ensure the ordering of freeing of a module init so that it happens before W+X checking. It is worth noting it is not that the freeing was not happening, it is just that our sanity checkers raced against the permission checkers which assume init memory is already gone. Commit |

pidfd: add pidfs
This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows: * statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time. * pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode numbers. * pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime. * struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. * file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds. * Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple different inodes. The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when the last pidfd is closed. We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always deleted. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.

rcu-tasks: Initialize data to eliminate RCU-tasks/do_exit() deadlocks
Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop() results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce. In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time (for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could just as well take advantage of that fact. This commit therefore initializes the data structures that will be needed to rely on these quiescent states and to eliminate these deadlocks.

crash: split crash dumping code out from kexec_core.c
Currently, KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE automatically because crash codes need be built in to avoid compiling error when building kexec code even though the crash dumping functionality is not enabled. E.g -------------------- CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y --------------------- After splitting out crashkernel reservation code and vmcoreinfo exporting code, there's only crash related code left in kernel/crash_core.c. Now move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y. And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope, or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdef in generic kernel files. With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.

arm64, powerpc, riscv, s390, x86: ptdump: refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX
All architectures using the core ptdump functionality also implement CONFIG_DEBUG_WX, and they all do it more or less the same way, with a function called debug_checkwx() that is called by mark_rodata_ro(), which is a substitute to ptdump_check_wx() when CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is set and a no-op otherwise. Refactor by centrally defining debug_checkwx() in linux/ptdump.h and call debug_checkwx() immediately after calling mark_rodata_ro() instead of calling it at the end of every mark_rodata_ro(). On x86_32, mark_rodata_ro() first checks __supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_NX before calling debug_checkwx(). Now the check is inside the callee ptdump_walk_pgd_level_checkwx(). On powerpc_64, mark_rodata_ro() bails out early before calling ptdump_check_wx() when the MMU doesn't have KERNEL_RO feature. The check is now also done in ptdump_check_wx() as it is called outside mark_rodata_ro().

init: flush async file closing
When unpacking the initramfs or when mounting block devices we need to ensure that any delayed fput() finished to prevent spurious errors. The init process can be a proper kernel thread or a user mode helper. In the latter case PF_KTHREAD isn't set. So we need to do both flush_delayed_work() and task_work_run(). Since we'll port block device opening and closing to regular file open and closing we need to ensure the same as for the initramfs. So just make that a little helper.

Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC globally
It turns out it was never just gcc-11 that was broken. Apparently it just happens to work on x86-64 with other gcc versions. On arm64, I see warnings with gcc version 13.2.1, and the kernel test robot reports the same problem on s390 with gcc 13.2.0. Admittedly it seems to be just the new Xe drm driver, but this is keeping me from doing my normal arm64 build testing. So it gets reverted until somebody figures out what causes the problem (and why it doesn't show on x86-64, which is what makes me suspect it was never just about gcc-11, and more about just random happenstance). This also changes the Kconfig naming a bit - just make the "disable this for GCC" conditional be one simple Kconfig entry, and we can put the gcc version dependencies in that entry once we figure out what the correct rules are. The version dependency _may_ still end up being "gcc version larger than 11" if the issue is purely in the Xe driver, but even if that ends up the case, let's make that all part of the "GCC_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW" logic. For now, we just disable it for all gcc versions while the exact cause is unknown. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202401161031.hjGJHMiJ-lkp@intel.com/T/ Cc: Gustavo A. R.

-Wstringop-overflow is buggy in GCC-11. Therefore, we should disable this option specifically for that compiler version. To achieve this, we introduce a new configuration option: GCC11_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW. The compiler option related to string operation overflow is now managed under configuration CC_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW. This option is enabled by default for all other versions of GCC that support it.

Driver core changes for 6.8-rc1
Here are the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.8-rc1. Nothing
major in here this release cycle, just lots of small cleanups and some
tweaks on kernfs that in the very end, got reverted and will come back
in a safer way next release cycle.
Included in here are:
- more driver core 'const' cleanups and fixes
- fw_devlink=rpm is now the default behavior
- kernfs tiny changes to remove some string functions
- cpu handling in the driver core is updated to work better on many
systems that add topologies and cpus after booting
- other minor changes and cleanups
All of the cpu handling patches have been acked by the respective
maintainers and are coming in here in one series. Everything has been
in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

header cleanups for 6.8
The goal is to get sched.h down to a type only header, so the main thing happening in this patchset is splitting out various _types.h headers and dependency fixups, as well as moving some things out of sched.h to better locations. This is prep work for the memory allocation profiling patchset which adds new sched.h interdepencencies. Testing - it's been in -next, and fixes from pretty much all architectures have percolated in - nothing major. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEKnAFLkS8Qha+jvQrE6szbY3KbnYFAmWfBwwACgkQE6szbY3K bnZPwBAAmuRojXaeWxi01IPIOehSGDe68vw44PR9glEMZvxdnZuPOdvE4/+245/L bRKU2WBCjBUokUbV9msIShwRkFTZAmEMPNfPAAsFMA+VXeDYHKB+ZRdwTggNAQ+I SG6fZgh5m0HsewCDxU8oqVHkjVq4fXn0cy+aL6xLEd9gu67GoBzX2pDieS2Kvy6j jnyoKTxFwb+LTQgph0P4EIpq5I2umAsdLwdSR8EJ+8e9NiNvMo1pI00Lx/ntAnFZ JftWUJcMy3TQ5u1GkyfQN9y/yThX1bZK5GvmHS9SJ2Dkacaus5d+xaKCHtRuFS1I 7C6b8PsNgRczUMumBXus44HdlNfNs1yU3lvVxFvBIPE1qC9pYRHrkWIXXIocXLLC oxTEJ6B2G3BQZVQgLIA4fOaxMVhmvKffi/aEZLi9vN9VVosd1a6XNKI6KbyRnXFp GSs9qDqszhn5I3GYNlDNQTc/8UsRlhPFgS6nS0By6QnvxtGi9QkU2tBRBsXvqwCy cLoCYIhc2tvugHvld70dz26umiJ4rnmxGlobStNoigDvIKAIUt1UmIdr1so8P8eH xehnL9ZcOX6xnANDL0AqMFFHV6I58CJynhFdUoXfVQf/DWLGX48mpi9LVNsYBzsI CAwVOAQ0UjGrpdWmJ9ueY/ABYqg9vRjzaDEXQ+MhAYO55CLaVsg= =3tyT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'header_cleanup-2024-01-10' of https://evilpiepirate.org/git/bcachefs Pull header cleanups from Kent Overstreet: "The goal is to get sched.h down to a type only header, so the main thing happening in this patchset is splitting out various _types.h headers and dependency fixups, as well as moving some things out of sched.h to better locations.

initramfs: Expose retained initrd as sysfs file
When the kernel command line option "retain_initrd" is set, we do not free the initrd memory. However, we also don't expose it to anyone for consumption. That leaves us in a weird situation where the only user of this feature is ppc64 and arm64 specific kexec tooling. To make it more generally useful, this patch adds a kobject to the firmware object that contains the initrd context when "retain_initrd" is set. That way, we can access the initrd any time after boot from user space and for example hand it into kexec as --initrd parameter if we want to reboot the same initrd. Or inspect it directly locally. With this patch applied, there is a new /sys/firmware/initrd file when the kernel was booted with an initrd and "retain_initrd" command line option is set.

rootfs: Fix support for rootfstype= when root= is given
Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.rst states:
If CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, rootfs will use tmpfs instead of ramfs by
default. To force ramfs, add "rootfstype=ramfs" to the kernel command
line.
This currently does not work when root= is provided since then
saved_root_name contains a string and rootfstype= is ignored. Therefore,
ramfs is currently always chosen when root= is provided.
The current behavior for rootfs's filesystem is:
root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
------------+-------------+--------------------------
unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs
unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs
unspecified | ramfs | ramfs
provided | ignored | ramfs
rootfstype= should be respected regardless whether root= is given,
as shown below:
root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
------------+-------------+--------------------------
unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs (as before)
unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs (as before)
unspecified | ramfs | ramfs (as before)
provided | unspecified | ramfs (compatibility with before)
provided | tmpfs | tmpfs (new)
provided | ramfs | ramfs (new)
This table represents the new behavior.
Fixes:
