Pull procfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "Mode changes to files under /proc/<pid>/ aren't supported ever since
  commit 6d76fa58b0 ("Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files").

  Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e39a ("procfs: fix pthread
  cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD,
  mode changes on /proc/thread-self/comm were accidently allowed.

  Similar, mode changes for all files beneath /proc/<pid>/net/ are
  blocked but mode changes on /proc/<pid>/net itself were accidently
  allowed.

  Both issues come down to not using the generic proc_setattr() helper
  which blocks all mode changes. This is rectified with this pull
  request.

  This also removes a strange nolibc test that abused /proc/<pid>/net
  for testing mode changes. Using procfs for this test never made a lot
  of sense given procfs has special semantics for almost everything
  anway.

  Both changes are minor user-visible changes. It is however very
  unlikely that mode changes on proc/<pid>/net and
  /proc/thread-self/comm are something that userspace relies on"

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
  xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
  filesystems.

  The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
  and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
  to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
  jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

  Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
  NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
  can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
  client decide to invalidate the cache.

  Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
  a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
  granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
  (e.g., backup applications).

  If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
  the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
  filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

  This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
  actively queried.

  This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
  something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
  is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
  fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.

  As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
  must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
  only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.

  Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
  the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
  coarse-grained timestamps.

  Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:

   - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
     together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
     maintainers provided necessary Acks.

   - Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
     callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
     gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
     as requiring accessors.

   - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
     sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
     mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.

   - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
     parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.

   - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
     removing a bunch of open-coding"

49b0638502 mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk 
walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. 
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas.  Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.

The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks.  With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them.  The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.

A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration.  Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

8b9c1cc041 smaps: use vm_normal_page_pmd() instead of follow_trans_huge_pmd() 
We shouldn't be using a GUP-internal helper if it can be avoided.

Similar to smaps_pte_entry() that uses vm_normal_page(), let's use
vm_normal_page_pmd() that similarly refuses to return the huge zeropage.

In contrast to follow_trans_huge_pmd(), vm_normal_page_pmd():

(1) Will always return the head page, not a tail page of a THP.

 If we'd ever call smaps_account with a tail page while setting "compound
 = true", we could be in trouble, because smaps_account() would look at
 the memmap of unrelated pages.

 If we're unlucky, that memmap does not exist at all. Before we removed
 PG_doublemap, we could have triggered something similar as in
 commit 24d7275ce2 ("fs/proc: task_mmu.c: don't read mapcount for
 migration entry").

 This can theoretically happen ever since commit ff9f47f6f0 ("mm: proc:
 smaps_rollup: do not stall write attempts on mmap_lock"):

  (a) We're in show_smaps_rollup() and processed a VMA
  (b) We release the mmap lock in show_smaps_rollup() because it is
      contended
  (c) We merged that VMA with another VMA
  (d) We collapsed a THP in that merged VMA at that position

 If the end address of the original VMA falls into the middle of a THP
 area, we would call smap_gather_stats() with a start address that falls
 into a PMD-mapped THP. It's probably very rare to trigger when not
 really forced.

(2) Will succeed on a is_pci_p2pdma_page(), like vm_normal_page()

 Treat such PMDs here just like smaps_pte_entry() would treat such PTEs.
 If such pages would be anonymous, we most certainly would want to
 account them.

(3) Will skip over pmd_devmap(), like vm_normal_page() for pte_devmap()

 As noted in vm_normal_page(), that is only for handling legacy ZONE_DEVICE
 pages. So just like smaps_pte_entry(), we'll now also ignore such PMD
 entries.

 Especially, follow_pmd_mask() never ends up calling
 follow_trans_huge_pmd() on pmd_devmap(). Instead it calls
 follow_devmap_pmd() -- which will fail if neither FOLL_GET nor FOLL_PIN
 is set.

 So skipping pmd_devmap() pages seems to be the right thing to do.

(4) Will properly handle VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP, like vm_normal_page()

 We won't be returning a memmap that should be ignored by core-mm, or
 worse, a memmap that does not even exist. Note that while
 walk_page_range() will skip VM_PFNMAP mappings, walk_page_vma() won't.

 Most probably this case doesn't currently really happen on the PMD level,
 otherwise we'd already be able to trigger kernel crashes when reading
 smaps / smaps_rollup.

So most probably only (1) is relevant in practice as of now, but could only
cause trouble in extreme corner cases.

Let's move follow_trans_huge_pmd() to mm/internal.h to discourage future
reuse in wrong context.

0d72b92883 fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr 
generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.

Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

proc: fix missing conversion to 'iterate_shared' 
I'm looking at the directory handling due to the discussion about f_pos
locking (see commit 797964253d: "file: reinstate f_pos locking
optimization for regular files"), and wanting to clean that up.

And one source of ugliness is how we were supposed to move filesystems
over to the '->iterate_shared()' function that only takes the inode lock
for reading many many years ago, but several filesystems still use the
bad old '->iterate()' that takes the inode lock for exclusive access.

See commit 6192269444 ("introduce a parallel variant of ->iterate()")
that also added some documentation stating

      Old method is only used if the new one is absent; eventually it will
      be removed.  Switch while you still can; the old one won't stay.

and that was back in April 2016.  Here we are, many years later, and the
old version is still clearly sadly alive and well.

Now, some of those old style iterators are probably just because the
filesystem may end up having per-inode mutable data that it uses for
iterating a directory, but at least one case is just a mistake.

Al switched over most filesystems to use '->iterate_shared()' back when
it was introduced.  In particular, the /proc filesystem was converted as
one of the first ones in commit f50752eaa0 ("switch all procfs
directories ->iterate_shared()").

But then later one new user of '->iterate()' was then re-introduced by
commit 6d9c939dbe ("procfs: add smack subdir to attrs").

And that's clearly not what we wanted, since that new case just uses the
same 'proc_pident_readdir()' and 'proc_pident_lookup()' helper functions
that other /proc pident directories use, and they are most definitely
safe to use with the inode lock held shared.

So just fix it.

This still leaves a fair number of oddball filesystems using the
old-style directory iterator (ceph, coda, exfat, jfs, ntfs, ocfs2,
overlayfs, and vboxsf), but at least we don't have any remaining in the
core filesystems.

I'm going to add a wrapper function that just drops the read-lock and
takes it as a write lock, so that we can clean up the core vfs layer and
make all the ugly 'this filesystem needs exclusive inode locking' be
just filesystem-internal warts.

I just didn't want to make that conversion when we still had a core user
left.

1745778400 fs/proc/kcore: reinstate bounce buffer for KCORE_TEXT regions 
Some architectures do not populate the entire range categorised by
KCORE_TEXT, so we must ensure that the kernel address we read from is
valid.

Unfortunately there is no solution currently available to do so with a
purely iterator solution so reinstate the bounce buffer in this instance
so we can use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in order to avoid page faults
when regions are unmapped.

This change partly reverts commit 2e1c017077 ("fs/proc/kcore: avoid
bounce buffer for ktext data"), reinstating the bounce buffer, but adapts
the code to continue to use an iterator.

The bug is the error handling:

"tmp" can hold negative error codes but because "nr_bytes" is type size_t
the negative error codes are treated as very high positive values
(success).  Fix this by changing "nr_bytes" to type ssize_t.  The
"nr_bytes" variable is used to store values between 1 and PAGE_SIZE and
they can fit in ssize_t without any issue.

procfs: block chmod on /proc/thread-self/comm 
Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e39a ("procfs: fix pthread

chmod operations on /proc/thread-self/comm were no longer blocked as
they are on almost all other procfs files.

A very similar situation with /proc/self/environ was used to as a root

proc: use generic setattr() for /proc/$PID/net 
All other files in /proc/$PID/ use proc_setattr().

Not using it allows the usage of chmod() on /proc/$PID/net, even on
other processes owned by the same user.
The same would probably also be true for other attributes to be changed.

As this technically represents an ABI change it is not marked for
stable so any unlikely regressions are caught during a full release cycle.

7b82e90411 asm-generic updates for 6.5 
These are cleanups for architecture specific header files:
 
  - the comments in include/linux/syscalls.h have gone out of sync
    and are really pointless, so these get removed
 
  - The asm/bitsperlong.h header no longer needs to be architecture
    specific on modern compilers, so use a generic version for newer
    architectures that use new enough userspace compilers
 
  - A cleanup for virt_to_pfn/virt_to_bus to have proper type
    checking, forcing the use of pointers

6a8cbd9253 v6.5-rc1-sysctl-next 
The changes queued up for v6.5-rc1 for sysctl are in line with
 prior efforts to stop usage of deprecated routines which incur
 recursion and also make it hard to remove the empty array element
 in each sysctl array declaration. The most difficult user to modify
 was parport which required a bit of re-thinking of how to declare shared
 sysctls there, Joel Granados has stepped up to the plate to do most of
 this work and eventual removal of register_sysctl_table(). That work
 ended up saving us about 1465 bytes according to bloat-o-meter. Since
 we gained a few bloat-o-meter karma points I moved two rather small
 sysctl arrays from kernel/sysctl.c leaving us only two more sysctl
 arrays to move left.
 
 Most changes have been tested on linux-next for about a month. The last
 straggler patches are a minor parport fix, changes to the sysctl
 kernel selftest so to verify correctness and prevent regressions for
 the future change he made to provide an alternative solution for the
 special sysctl mount point target which was using the now deprecated
 sysctl child element.
 
 This is all prep work to now finally be able to remove the empty
 array element in all sysctl declarations / registrations which is
 expected to save us a bit of bytes all over the kernel. That work
 will be tested early after v6.5-rc1 is out.

c33c794828 mm: ptep_get() conversion 
Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper.  This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE().  This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.

But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte.  Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best.  It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.

Conversion was done using Coccinelle:

----

// $ make coccicheck \
//          COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
//          SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
//          MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@

- *v
+ ptep_get(v)

----

Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so.  This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.

Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot.  The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get().  HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined.  Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n.  This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

7780d04046 mm/pagewalkers: ACTION_AGAIN if pte_offset_map_lock() fails 
Simple walk_page_range() users should set ACTION_AGAIN to retry when
pte_offset_map_lock() fails.

No need to check pmd_trans_unstable(): that was precisely to avoid the
possiblity of calling pte_offset_map() on a racily removed or inserted THP
entry, but such cases are now safely handled inside it.  Likewise there is
no need to check pmd_none() or pmd_bad() before calling it.

2f2665c13a sysctl: replace child with an enumeration 
This is part of the effort to remove the empty element at the end of
ctl_table structs. "child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was
being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal"
and "permanently emtpy".

What changed?:
* Replace "child" with an enumeration that will have two values: the
  default (0) and the permanently empty (1). The latter is left at zero
  so when struct ctl_table is created with kzalloc or in a local
  context, it will have the zero value by default. We document the
  new enum with kdoc.
* Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table
* Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to
  calculate how many headers there are for every child
* Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no
  need to traverse down the child tree any longer
* Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag
* Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.  This read may exceed the
destination size limit.  This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].  In an effort

No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

dcdfdd40fa mm: Add support for unaccepted memory 
UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory
acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD
SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the
guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine
platform.

There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory:

 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it
    doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is
    very long boot time.

    Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable
    (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate
    memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point.

 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more
    infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but
    it provides good boot time.

    On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps
    onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data
    set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted.

 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple)
    that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the
    system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping
    low boot time.

    This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2:
    background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the
    page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that.

    The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU
    cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt
    user experience.

Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want
to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be
implemented later based on user's demands.

Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code:

  - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory
    allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory.

  - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page.
    When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the
    high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation.

EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted
memory:

 - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted.

 - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range
   of physical addresses requires acceptance.

60592fb6b6 coredump, vmcore: Set p_align to 4 for PT_NOTE 
Tools like readelf/llvm-readelf use p_align to parse a PT_NOTE program
header as an array of 4-byte entries or 8-byte entries. Currently, there
are workarounds[1] in place for Linux to treat p_align==0 as 4. However,
it would be more appropriate to set the correct alignment so that tools
do not have to rely on guesswork. FreeBSD coredumps set p_align to 4 as
well.

0199849acd sysctl: remove register_sysctl_paths() 
The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice as
we nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table()
was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now just
open code and move the implementation over to what used to be
to __register_sysctl_paths().

The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point to
sysctl_table_root.default_set.

The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in the
routine register_sysctl_paths() with a static:

static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} };

Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routine
and remove its use as its always empty.

This saves us a total of 230 bytes.

888d3c9f7f sysctl-6.4-rc1 
This pull request goes with only a few sysctl moves from the
 kernel/sysctl.c file, the rest of the work has been put towards
 deprecating two API calls which incur recursion and prevent us
 from simplifying the registration process / saving memory per
 move. Most of the changes have been soaking on linux-next since
 v6.3-rc3.
 
 I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
 feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these
 moves instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more
 memory since when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its
 own file we end up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register
 it. To achieve saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed
 without requiring the end element being empty, and just have our
 registration process rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting
 both styles of sysctls would make the sysctl registration pretty
 brittle, hard to read and maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's
 efforts to do just this [0]. Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE()
 for all sysctl registrations also implies doing the work to deprecate
 two API calls which use recursion in order to support sysctl
 declarations with subdirectories.
 
 And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
 this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
 deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove them:
 
   * register_sysctl_table()
   * register_sysctl_paths()
 
 During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
 register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end
 of this merge window.
 
 Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but
 this pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.
 
 As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
 these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
 changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.
 
 The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
 gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
 generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.
 
 Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
 does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
 you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
 just kept the stragglers after rc3.
 
 Most of these changes have been soaking on linux-next since around rc3.

522dc4e5f5 fs/proc: add Kthread flag to /proc/$pid/status 
The command `ps -ef ` and `top -c` mark kernel thread by '[' and ']', but
sometimes the result is not correct.  The task->flags in /proc/$pid/stat
is good, but we need remember the value of PF_KTHREAD is 0x00200000 and
convert dec to hex.  If we have no binary program and shell script which
read /proc/$pid/stat, we can know it directly by `cat /proc/$pid/status`.

d21077fbc2 mm: add new KSM process and sysfs knobs 
This adds the general_profit KSM sysfs knob and the process profit metric
knobs to ksm_stat.

1) expose general_profit metric

   The documentation mentions a general profit metric, however this
   metric is not calculated.  In addition the formula depends on the size
   of internal structures, which makes it more difficult for an
   administrator to make the calculation.  Adding the metric for a better
   user experience.

2) document general_profit sysfs knob

3) calculate ksm process profit metric

   The ksm documentation mentions the process profit metric and how to
   calculate it.  This adds the calculation of the metric.

4) mm: expose ksm process profit metric in ksm_stat

   This exposes the ksm process profit metric in /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.
   The documentation mentions the formula for the ksm process profit
   metric, however it does not calculate it.  In addition the formula
   depends on the size of internal structures.  So it makes sense to

1be2edb25c proc/stat: remove arch_idle_time() 
The last (only) architecture specific arch_idle_time() implementation was
removed with commit be76ea6144 ("s390/idle: remove arch_cpu_idle_time()
and corresponding code").

Therefore remove the now dead code in fs/proc/stat.c as well.

b4aca54792 smaps: fix defined but not used smaps_shmem_walk_ops 
When !CONFIG_SHMEM smaps_shmem_walk_ops is defined but not used,
triggering a compiler warning.  To avoid the warning remove the #ifdef
around the usage.  This has no effect because shmem_mapping() is a stub
returning false when !CONFIG_SHMEM so the code will be compiled out,
however we now need to also provide a stub for shmem_swap_usage().

  o that paths don't need to exist for the new API callers
  o clarify that we *require* callers to keep the memory of
    the table around during the lifetime of the sysctls
  o annotate routines we are trying to deprecate and later remove

67ff32289a proc_sysctl: update docs for __register_sysctl_table() 
Update the docs for __register_sysctl_table() to make it clear no child
entries can be passed. When the child is true these are non-leaf entries
on the ctl table and sysctl treats these as directories. The point to
__register_sysctl_table() is to deal only with directories not part of
the ctl table where thay may riside, to be simple and avoid recursion.

While at it, hint towards using long on extra1 and extra2 later.

4c91c07c93 mm: vmalloc: convert vread() to vread_iter() 
Having previously laid the foundation for converting vread() to an
iterator function, pull the trigger and do so.

This patch attempts to provide minimal refactoring and to reflect the
existing logic as best we can, for example we continue to zero portions of
memory not read, as before.

Overall, there should be no functional difference other than a performance
improvement in /proc/kcore access to vmalloc regions.

Now we have eliminated the need for a bounce buffer in read_kcore_iter(),
we dispense with it, and try to write to user memory optimistically but
with faults disabled via copy_page_to_iter_nofault().  We already have
preemption disabled by holding a spin lock.  We continue faulting in until
the operation is complete.

Additionally, we must account for the fact that at any point a copy may
fail (most likely due to a fault not being able to occur), we exit
indicating fewer bytes retrieved than expected.

and eliminate the bounce buffer altogether.
