Pull more liveupdate updates from Mike Rapoport:
 "Make boot time huge page allocation work nicely with kexec handover.

  Today allocation of gigantic pages in HugeTLB cannot work reliably
  with kexec handover (KHO):

   - HugeTLB allocates gigantic pages using memblock and autoscaling of
     KHO scratch accounts for these allocations. When gigantic pages
     occupy half of the memory of more, KHO fails to allocate its
     scratch memory.

   - After kexec handover, memblock allocations exclusively use KHO
     scratch that is not supposed to contain preserved memory. This
     essentially blocks preservation of HugeTLB with gigantic pages.

  Extend early memory pools available for KHO kernel with areas that are
  guaranteed not to contain preserved memory"

 - "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" (Jiayuan Chen)

   Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed
   while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim

 - "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno
   Leitao)

   Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl
   that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in
   kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed,
   silent data corruption

 - "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
   handling" (SJ Park)

   Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
   are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
   fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
   cleanup code

 - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)

   Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound
   or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
   splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
   the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
   prep_compound_tail()

 - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
   Song)

   Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
   wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
   contention and system overhead

   By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
   and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
   30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads

 - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

   Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state
   to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving
   MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.

 - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
   Shutsemau)

   Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest
   memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
   tiered or remote storage

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
   performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
   pages on the way.

 - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)

   Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
   when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
   behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
   existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
   probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
   maintain measurement accuracy.

 - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)

   Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
   thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
   contention.

   By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
   reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
   under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
   memory pressure.

 - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)

   Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
   into new headers

 - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)

   Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
   collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
   KSM memory error handling.

   It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
   anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
   reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.

 - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
   Patil)

   Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
   report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
   satisfied

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)

   Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
   users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
   cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.

   By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
   disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
   weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
   attribute-focused workloads.

 - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
   (Stanislav Kinsburskii)

   Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
   allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
   hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.

   By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
   release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
   regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.

 - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
   manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel

   It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
   vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
   renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
   functionality.

   These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
   will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
   folios.

 - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)

   Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
   callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
   created during HMM migrations

   It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
   properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
   THP or a standard migration entry.

 - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)

   Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
   anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
   functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
   large folio unmapping.

 - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)

   Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
   document

 - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)

   Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
   infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
   entire memory regions

   By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
   enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
   compatibility.

 - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
   to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.

   It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
   unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
   mlock, mprotect, and mremap.

 - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)

   Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
   slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
   documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
   remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.

 - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)

   Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
   fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
   from outer layers.

   It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
   damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
   interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
   members.

 - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
   (SJ Park)

   Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
   conditions identified in DAMON

   It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
   NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
   accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.

 - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
   on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
   via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.

   It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
   risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
   hotplug or large allocation frees.

 - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
   debug assertions.

   It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
   convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
   high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
   VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.

 - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
   boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.

   It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
   dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
   eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
   to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
   functional changes intended.

 - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
   reclaim" (Ridong Chen)

   Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
   memory reclaim paths

   It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
   unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
   cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
   of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
   gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().

 - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)

   Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
   removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
   pages as non-resident.

 - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API

 - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
   bugs" (SJ Park)

   Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
   Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
   occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
   in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.

 - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)

   Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
   without altering functionality.

   It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
   bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
   helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.

 - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)

   Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
   userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
   capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().

   This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
   try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
   flow and complexity.

 - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
   (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
   __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
   early_ioremap_reset()

   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
   calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.

 - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)

   Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
   OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
   production

   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
   than spinning unproductively.

 - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)

   Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
   per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances

   This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
   instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
   lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
   when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:

 - Drop BUG_ON() assertions from two functions

   While I don't recall any bug reports from either of these assertions
   in recent memory, neither of these checks warrant the kernel panic
   that could result from BUG_ON(). One of the BUG_ON() calls is
   converted to a WARN_ON_ONCE() and the other to a lockdep assertion.

 - Fix an audit tree reference counting problem

   Fix a corner case where audit could end up unintentionally dropping
   the last reference to an audit tree while the tree was still in use.

   We should probably revisit the audit tree handling code in full, but
   this patch works, and should be easy to backport to stable trees and
   downstream kernels.

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Make syscall user dispatching configurable

   Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
   Allow them to disable the feature completely.

 - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
   architectures using it.

   Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
   architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
   wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
   non-instrumentable constraints of that code.

   Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
   entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
   point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
   code using architecture over.

 - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
   works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
   storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
   space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
   code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
   return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
   intuitive.

   Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
   dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
   syscall number through these mechanisms.

   This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
   a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
   a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
   both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
   which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
   addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
   architectures.

4ad87eee54 preempt: Introduce __preempt_count_{sub,add}_return()
In order to use preempt_count() to track the interrupt disable nesting
level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as their names
suggest, these primitives return the new value of the preempt_count()
after changing it. The following example shows the usage of it in
local_interrupt_disable():

	// increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit
	new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET);

	// if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt
	// at hardware level.
	if ((new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK) == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) {
		local_irq_save(flags);
		raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state, flags);
	}

Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after
changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.

f7e2cb6d49 locking/qspinlock: Add contended_release tracepoint
Unlike mutex and rw_semaphore, qspinlock has no owner field, so "perf
lock contention --lock-owner" cannot attribute a contended spinlock to
its holder. The waiter-side contention_begin event records that a
spinlock is contended, but not by whom. Firing contended_release in the
holder's context at unlock is the only way to capture the holder of a
contended spinlock.

Combine the contention check, trace call and release in an out-of-line
queued_spin_release_traced() so the compiler need not preserve the lock
pointer in a callee-saved register across the call.

The check in queued_spin_unlock() is paid on every unlock, even while
the tracepoint is disabled: a static-branch NOP on x86_64, and a few
more instructions to manage a stack frame elsewhere. Gate it behind
CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_TRACE_CONTENDED_RELEASE (default n) so nobody
pays for a tracepoint they do not use. Sleeping locks fire
contended_release regardless.

On x86 this generic path is used only with PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n (e.g.
defconfig). PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y kernels keep the paravirt static_call
unlock and are wired up separately.

All below are with the QUEUED_SPINLOCKS_TRACE_CONTENDED_RELEASE option
enabled.

_raw_spin_unlock(), x86_64 defconfig, GCC 11, tracepoint compiled in but
disabled. The unlock is the single 'movb'. The only instruction added to
the executed path is the 2-byte static-branch NOP. The CALL to the
traced helper and the JMP back are emitted out of line and are reached
only once the static branch is patched on:

          endbr64                            ; 4 bytes
          xchg   %ax,%ax                     ; 2 static-branch NOP
                                             ;   (added)
          movb   $0x0,(%rdi)                 ; 3 unlock (single store)
       A: decl   %gs:__preempt_count         ; 7
          je     B                           ; 2
          jmp    __x86_return_thunk          ; 5
          call   queued_spin_release_traced  ; 5 out of line, reached
                                             ;   only when the
                                             ;   tracepoint is on
          jmp    A                           ; 2 (added)
       B: call   __SCT__preempt_schedule     ; 5
          jmp    __x86_return_thunk          ; 5

Baseline is the same stream without the NOP and the out-of-line
CALL/JMP: 31 bytes vs 40 (+9 bytes).

Binary size impact on x86_64, defconfig: +680 bytes (+0.00%), since all
standard configs out-of-line unlock. Architectures with inlined unlock
(s390 (always), csky and loongarch (both when !PREEMPTION)) will see a
bigger increase in binary size.

On the same path (x86_64, PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n) with the tracepoint
disabled, a _raw_spin_unlock()-heavy nginx workload [1] shows no
measurable difference between baseline and patched kernels in
throughput, latency, cycles, instructions, IPC, or L1 instruction-cache
misses (kernel and total): all deltas stay within run-to-run noise.

Unlike x86, on arm64 the frame setup code (STP, MOV and LDP) lands on
the executed path in addition to static-branch NOP. Binary size impact
on arm64, defconfig: +932 bytes (+0.00%).

The _raw_spin_unlock()-heavy nginx workload reflects the larger hot
path: L1 instruction-cache misses rise ~1.4% (kernel and total) and
instruction count ~0.4%, consistent with the per-unlock frame.
cpu_cycles, throughput and latency show no measurable change and are
within run-to-run noise.

Architectures with fully custom qspinlock implementations (e.g.
PowerPC) are not covered by this change.

216c6c67f7 locking: Factor out queued_spin_release()
The contended_release tracepoint needs to hook queued_spin_unlock(), but
architectures with a custom unlock define queued_spin_unlock() directly,
leaving no single generic place to add the tracing.

Introduce queued_spin_release() as the arch-overridable release
primitive and make queued_spin_unlock() a generic wrapper around it.
An architecture that only customizes the release can then override
queued_spin_release() and inherit the generic wrapper.

Rename the MIPS override to queued_spin_release() accordingly. x86
paravirt overrides queued_spin_unlock() directly and is left unchanged.

No functional change intended.

c0ffe79eed mm: rename uffd-wp PTE accessors to uffd
Userfaultfd RWP will reuse the uffd-wp PTE bit to mark access-tracking
PTEs, alongside the write-protected ones it already marks.  The bit's
meaning now depends on the VMA flag (WP or RWP), not on its name.

Rename the kernel-internal names that describe the bit:

  - pte/pmd/huge_pte accessors (and swap variants)
  - pgtable_supports_uffd() capability query
  - SCAN_PTE_UFFD khugepaged enum

The ftrace string emitted by mm_khugepaged_scan_pmd for this enum is
kept as "pte_uffd_wp" so existing trace-based tooling keeps matching.

Pure mechanical rename -- no behavior change.

029223d301 objtool/klp: Add .klp.symid for sympos disambiguation
Livepatch identifies a duplicate-named symbol by its position (sympos)
among same-named kallsyms entries, which for vmlinux are counted in
ascending address order in the final linked kernel.  That order can't be
reliably derived from vmlinux.o: the final link reorders sub-sections
(.text.unlikely*, .data..*, etc).

Bridge the gap with a new .klp.symid section which can be used to
correlate symbols between vmlinux.o and vmlinux so that klp-diff can
reliably determine the sympos.

The table can't survive --gc-sections: keeping it alive would keep every
duplicate-named symbol's section alive, so the reference kernel would
stop matching the one which ships.  klp-build rejects
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION instead.  Nothing is lost today:
x86_64 is the only HAVE_KLP_BUILD arch and doesn't select
HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, arm64 and s390 have never selected
it either, and on powerpc, it's still EXPERIMENTAL and disabled by every
distro kernel.

This is the build-time half of reliable vmlinux sympos computation;
"objtool klp diff" will consume the table in a subsequent commit.

67a06fdfbf mm: fix ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS by passing memdesc_flags_t by pointer
KCSAN reports a data race between page_to_nid()/folio_pgdat() reading
page->flags and folio_trylock()/folio_lock() concurrently doing
test_and_set_bit_lock(PG_locked, ...) on the same word, e.g.:

  BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __lruvec_stat_mod_folio / shmem_get_folio_gfp

The race is benign: nid/zone bits are set once at page init and never
overlap with PG_locked.  However, ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() inside
memdesc_nid/zonenum() was checking a by-value copy of the flags word, not
the live page->flags, so it failed to annotate the real access.

Change memdesc_nid(), memdesc_zonenum(), memdesc_section(), and
memdesc_is_zone_device() to take a const memdesc_flags_t * and update all
callers to pass &page->flags / &folio->flags, so ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS()
operates on the actual shared word.

Guard the ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() call in memdesc_zonenum() under
ZONES_WIDTH != 0 to avoid a zero-mask check on configs where the zone
field is absent.  memdesc_section() needs no such guard, since
SECTIONS_WIDTH is never 0 wherever SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS is defined. 
Under CONFIG_NUMA=n, memdesc_nid() itself is stubbed to "return 0" instead
of reading page->flags, since NODES_MASK is 0 and the check can never
fire; page_to_nid()/folio_nid() now just call memdesc_nid()
unconditionally and rely on that stub, instead of duplicating the
CONFIG_NUMA split at each call site.

b78b0b6582 futex: Use runtime constants for __futex_hash() hot path
Runtime constify the read-only after init data  __futex_shift(shift_32),
__futex_mask(mask_32), and __futex_queues(ptr) used in __futex_hash()
hot path to avoid referencing global variable.

This also allows __futex_queues to be allocated dynamically to
"nr_node_ids" slots instead of reserving config dependent MAX_NUMNODES
(1 << CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT) worth of slots upfront.

Runtime constants are initialized before their first access and
runtime_const_init() provides necessary barrier to ensure subsequent
accesses are not reordered against their initialization.

No functional changes intended.

5339ec29f9 mm: replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in memory management header files
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that
only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.  This can be very
confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when
dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. 
So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by
the compilers.

This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

1c61b0a6e5 bitops: make the *_bit_le functions use unsigned long
The *_bit_le functions use a signed integer for the bit number.
However, the *_bit functions can use an unsigned long. This causes
problems if there is a large bitmap and a bit number > 0x80000000 is
passed in. Since that is a negative int, it will get sign extended to a
long when getting passed to the *_bit function, turning it into a huge
bit number. This usually ends up with the memory address wrapping around
and the function accessing memory before the start of the bitmap.

Avoid this by making the *_bit_le functions take an unsigned long.

This can be triggered by faking an almost 4TB dm-mirror device, which
uses bitmaps to track the mirror regions:

$ dmsetup create bigzero --table '0 8589934590 zero'
$ dmsetup create mymirror --table '0 8589934590 mirror core 2 2 nosync 2 /dev/mapper/bigzero 0 /dev/mapper/bigzero 0'

This will access memory before the start of the sync_bits bitmap, and
likely hit the guard page of the previously allocated clean_bits bitmap,
causing a kernel panic with the old code.

I looked and didn't see any crazy code using the signed int to
intentionally try and access bits before some address within the bitmap.

dfc256dac5 calibrate: Rework delay timer calibration
The header define in asm/timex,h and the naming of the function to read the
delay timer are confusing at best.

Convert it to a config switch selected by the archictures which provide the
functionality and rename the function to delay_read_timer(), which makes
the purpose clear. Move the declaration to linux/delay.h where it belongs.

Remove the resulting empty asm/timex.h files as well.

No functional change.

08412b8c70 x86/setup: do not include kexec_handover.h from asm/setup.h
x86 asm/setup.h includes linux/kexec_handover.h. This is because it is
used by setup.c and kaslr.c. But this inclusion is problematic. The
header is included in many places, so it results in the KHO header being
propagated there. Also, the setup header is used by realmode code. If
KHO header includes things like mm.h, it causes a big dump of
compilation failures.

Nothing in setup.h uses anything from KHO. Remove the header from
setup.h, and directly include it in setup.c. which does use things from
KHO. Since kaslr.c is a part of the decompressor, avoid including linux
headers there directly. Instead, split out struct kho_scratch, which is
the only thing the kaslr.c uses, and move it to
include/asm-generic/kexec_handover.h.

This should also help reduce files recompiled when kexec_handover.h
changes.

 "Major changes:

   - Recover from BPF arena page faults using a scratch page and add
     ptep_try_set() for lockless empty-slot installs on x86 and arm64.

     This allows BPF kfuncs to access arena pointers directly.

     The 'arena_direct_access' stable branch was created for this work
     and was pulled into sched-ext and bpf-next trees (Tejun Heo, Kumar
     Kartikeya Dwivedi)

   - Lift old restriction and support 6+ arguments in BPF programs and
     kfuncs on x86 and arm64 (Yonghong Song, Puranjay Mohan)

  Other features and fixes:

   - Add 24-bit BTF vlen and reclaim unused bits in the BTF UAPI to ease
     addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)

     dynptr use-after-free bug (Amery Hung)

   - Harden the signed program loader and reject exclusive maps as inner
     maps (Daniel Borkmann)

   - Replace the verifier min/max bounds fields with a circular number
     (cnum) representation and improve 32->64 bit range refinements
     (Eduard Zingerman)

   - Introduce the arena library and runtime (libarena) with a buddy
     allocator, rbtree and SPMC queue data structures, ASAN support and
     a parallel test harness. Allow subprograms to return arena pointers
     and switch to a BTF type-tag based __arena annotation (Emil
     Tsalapatis)

   - Cache build IDs in the sleepable stackmap path and avoid faultable
     build ID reads under mm locks (Ihor Solodrai)

   - Introduce the tracing_multi link to attach a single BPF program to
     many kernel functions at once. Allow specifying the uprobe_multi
     target via FD (Jiri Olsa)

   - Extend the bpf_list family of kfuncs with bpf_list_add/del(), and
     bpf_list_is_first/is_last/empty() (Kaitao Cheng)

   - Extend the BPF syscall with common attributes support for
     prog_load, btf_load and map_create (Leon Hwang)

 "Futex updates:

   - Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real, by
     Thomas Gleixner:

      "The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect to the
       clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending pointer because
       unlock and clearing the pointer are not atomic.

       The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op
       pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will
       access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up
       the robust list.

       That happens if another task manages to unmap the object
       containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF.

       In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when
       unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time
       the access happens.

       User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
       This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
       along:

        1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
           contended case

        2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
           fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted
           within the critical section.

b48bd16eb9 rqspinlock: Fix order in raw_res_spin_(un)lock_irq to allow schedule
raw_res_spin_unlock_irqrestore() calls raw_res_spin_unlock() and then
restores interrupts, this means preemption is enabled when interrupts
are still disabled (as part of raw_res_spin_unlock()) so this cannot
trigger an actual preemption.
This is inconsistent with other spinlock implementations
(raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() and bpf_res_spin_unlock_irqrestore()
itself).

Adjust the macro to ensure interrupts are enabled before enabling
preemption, allowing to schedule at that point. Make the same
modification in the error path of raw_res_spin_lock_irqsave().

2566fa7b2f kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for Propeller
The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.

Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control
Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies
the kconfig and avoids potential confusion.

Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

The Propeller documentation has been updated to reflect the most
recent tool location and now includes instructions for arm64.

c06cd66387 percpu: Sanitize __percpu_qual include hell
Slapping __percpu_qual into the next available header is sloppy at best.

It's required by __percpu which is defined in compiler_types.h and that is
meant to be included without requiring a boatload of other headers so that
a struct or function declaration can contain a __percpu qualifier w/o
further prerequisites.

This implicit dependency on linux/percpu.h makes that impossible and causes
a major problem when trying to separate headers.

Create asm/percpu_types.h and move it there. Include that from
compiler_types.h and the whole recursion problem goes away.

Fix up UM so it uses the generic header and includes it in the UM_HOST
build, which pulls in compiler_types.h. The USER_CFLAGS fix was suggested
by Richard.

cb19b8a9ad locking/qspinlock: Clarify pending field layout
For CONFIG_NR_CPUS < 16K, _Q_PENDING_BITS is 8 and the pending
field occupies bits 8-15 of the lock word. The current comment
documents bit 8 as pending and bits 9-15 as unused, which describes
the pending flag value rather than the field layout.

Describe bits 8-15 as the pending byte so the layout description
is consistent with the lock byte.

c02be2ad2b uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selection
The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline
implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly.  However,
all arches enable or disable them always together.

Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other
outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone.

Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

Page tables are always accessed via the linear mapping with a match-all
tag, so HW-tag KASAN never checks them.  For page-allocated tables (PTEs
and PGDs etc), avoid the tag setup and poisoning overhead by using
__GFP_SKIP_KASAN.  SLUB-backed page tables are unchanged for now.  (They
aren't widely used and require more SLUB related skip logic.  Leave it
later.)

a494d3c8d5 ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

commit baaf553d3b ("arm64: Implement
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS")), the compiler flag
-fpatchable-function-entry=4,2 inserts 2 NOPs before each function entry
point for ftrace call_ops. These pre-function NOPs sit at the section base
address, before the first named function symbol. The compiler emits a $x
mapping symbol at offset 0x00 to mark the start of code, but
find_kallsyms_symbol() ignores mapping symbols.

Without CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS (e.g. defconfig), no
pre-function NOPs are inserted, the first function starts at offset
0x00, and the bug does not trigger.

This only affects modules that have a .kprobes.text section (i.e. those
using the __kprobes annotation). Modules using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead
(like kretprobe_example.ko) blacklist exact function addresses via the
_kprobe_blacklist section and are not affected.

For kprobe_example.ko on ARM64 with -fpatchable-function-entry=4,2,
the .kprobes.text section layout is:

  offset 0x00: $x + 2 NOPs    (mapping symbol + ftrace preamble)
  offset 0x08: handler_post   (64 bytes)
  offset 0x50: handler_pre    (68 bytes)

kprobe_add_area_blacklist() starts iterating from the section base
address (offset 0x00), which only has the $x mapping symbol.
kprobe_add_ksym_blacklist() then calls kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
for this address, which goes through:

  kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
    -> module_address_lookup()
      -> find_kallsyms_symbol()

find_kallsyms_symbol() scans all module symbols to find the closest
preceding symbol.

Since no named text symbol exists at offset 0x00,
find_kallsyms_symbol() picks __UNIQUE_ID_vermagic (a .modinfo symbol
whose address is in the temporary image) as the "best" match. The
computed "size" = next_text_symbol - modinfo_symbol spans across
these two unrelated memory regions, creating a blacklist entry with
a bogus range of tens of terabytes.

Whether this causes a visible failure depends on address randomization,
here is what happens on Raspberry Pi 4/5:

  - On RPi5, the bogus size was ~35 TB. start + size stayed within
    64-bit range, so the blacklist entry covered the entire kernel
    text. register_kprobe() in the module's own init function failed
    with -EINVAL.

  - On RPi4, the bogus size was ~75 TB. start + size overflowed
    64 bits and wrapped to a small address near zero. The range
    check (addr >= start && addr < end) then failed because end
    wrapped around, so the bogus entry was accidentally harmless
    and kprobes worked by luck.

The same bug exists on both machines, but randomization determines whether
the integer overflow masks it or not.

Fix this by adding notrace to the __kprobes macro. Functions in
.kprobes.text are kprobe infrastructure handlers that should never be
traced by ftrace. With notrace, the compiler stops inserting them and the
non-symbol gap at the section start disappears entirely.

5170a82e89 x86/hyperv: Skip LP/VP creation on kexec
After a kexec the logical processors and virtual processors already
exist in the hypervisor because they were created by the previous
kernel. Attempting to add them again causes either a BUG_ON or
corrupted VP state leading to MCEs in the new kernel.

Add hv_lp_exists() to probe whether an LP is already present by
calling HVCALL_GET_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_RUN_TIME. When it succeeds the
LP exists and we skip the add-LP and create-VP loops entirely.

Also add hv_call_notify_all_processors_started() which informs the
hypervisor that all processors are online. This is required after
adding LPs (fresh boot) and is a no-op on kexec since we skip that
path.

 - "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)

   A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
   quote Christoph:

     "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
      now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
      and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
      sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
      sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
      many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
      the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
      code.

      Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
      architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
      Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
      that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
      smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
      here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
      overhead"

Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen:
 "Kernel symbol flags:

   - Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and
     __kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new __kflagstab
     section.

     This section stores symbol flags, such as the GPL-only flag, as an
     8-bit bitset for each exported symbol. This is a cleanup that
     simplifies symbol lookup in the module loader by avoiding table
     fragmentation and will allow a cleaner way to add more flags later
     if needed.

  Module signature UAPI:

   - Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse by
     tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and
     scripts/sign-file.

     This also renames a few constants for clarity and drops unused
     signature types as preparation for hash-based module integrity
     checking work that's in progress.

  Sysfs:

   - Add a /sys/module/<module>/import_ns sysfs attribute to show the
     symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules.

     This makes it easier to verify driver API access at runtime on
     systems that care about such things (e.g. Android).

  Cleanups and fixes:

   - Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents
     non-zero section addresses when linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r',
     which confused elfutils.

   - Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload when
     the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n.

   - Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to
     userspace. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by the
     module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded.

   - Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive
     returns from module_init().

   - Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and
     synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation"
