Commit 2f465b921b ("vmlinux.lds.h: place optional header space in BOUNDED_SECTION")
added BOUNDED_SECTION_(PRE|POST)_LABEL macros, encapsulating the basic
boilerplate to KEEP/pack records into a section, and to mark the begin
and end of the section with linker-symbols.
But it tried to do extra, adding KEEP(*(.gnu.linkonce.##_sec_)) to
optionally reserve a header record in front of the data. It wrongly
placed the KEEP after the linker-symbol starting the section,
so if a header was added, it would wind up in the data.
Moving the KEEP to the "correct" place proved brittle, and too clever
by half. The obvious safe fix is to remove the KEEP and restore the
plain old boilerplate. The header can be added later, with separate
macros.
Also, the macro var-names: _s_, _e_ are nearly invisible, change them
to more obvious names: _BEGIN_, _END_

Extend recently added BOUNDED_SECTION(_name) macro by adding a
KEEP(*(.gnu.linkonce.##_name)) before the KEEP(*(_name)).
This does nothing by itself, vmlinux is the same before and after this
patch. But if a developer adds a .gnu.linkonce.foo record, that
record is placed in the front of the section, where it can be used as
a header for the table.
The intent is to create an up-link to another organizing struct, from
where related tables can be referenced. And since every item in a
table has a known offset from its header, that same offset can be used
to fetch records from the related tables.
By itself, this doesnt gain much, unless maybe the pattern of access
is to scan 1 or 2 fields in each fat record, but with 2 16 bit .map*
fields added, we could de-duplicate 2 related tables.
The use case here is struct _ddebug, which has 3 pointers (function,
file, module) with substantial repetition; respectively 53%, 90%, and
the module column is fully recoverable after dynamic_debug_init()
splits the table into a linked list of "module" chunks.
On a DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y kernel with 5k pr_debugs, the memory savings
should be ~100 KiB.

Certain files in procfs are formatted in byteorder-dependent formats.
For example the IP addresses in /proc/net/udp.
When using emulation like qemu-user, applications are not guaranteed to
be using the same byteorder as the kernel.
Therefore the kernel needs to provide a way for applications to discover
the byteorder used in API-filesystems.
Using systemcalls is not enough because these are intercepted and
translated by the emulation.
Also this makes it easier for non-compiled applications like
shellscripts to discover the byteorder.

When a driver registers with a bus, it will attempt to match with every
device on the bus through the __driver_attach() function. Currently, if
the bus_type.match() function encounters an error that is not
-EPROBE_DEFER, __driver_attach() will return a negative error code, which
causes the driver registration logic to stop trying to match with the
remaining devices on the bus.
This behavior is not correct; a failure while matching a driver to a
device does not mean that the driver won't be able to match and bind
with other devices on the bus. Update the logic in __driver_attach()
to reflect this.

If class_add_groups() returns error, the 'cp->subsys' need be
unregister, and the 'cp' need be freed.
We can not call kset_unregister() here, because the 'cls' will
be freed in callback function class_release() and it's also
freed in caller's error path, it will cause double free.
So fix this by calling kobject_del() and kfree_const(name) to
cleanup kobject. Besides, call kfree() to free the 'cp'.

Inject fault while loading module, kset_register() may fail.
If it fails, the kset.kobj.name allocated by kobject_set_name()
which must be called before a call to kset_register() may be
leaked, since refcount of kobj was set in kset_init().
To mitigate this, we free the name in kset_register() when an
error is encountered, i.e. when kset_register() returns an error.
A kset may be embedded in a larger structure which may be dynamically
allocated in callers, it needs to be freed in ktype.release() or error
path in callers, in this case, we can not call kset_put() in kset_register(),
or it will cause double free, so just call kfree_const() to free the
name and set it to NULL to avoid accessing bad pointer in callers.
With this fix, the callers don't need care about freeing the name
and may call kset_put() if kset_register() fails.

In kernfs_dop_revalidate() when the passed in dentry is negative the
dentry directory is checked to see if it has changed and if so the
negative dentry is discarded so it can refreshed. During this check
the dentry inode i_lock is taken to mitigate against a possible
concurrent rename.
But if it's racing with a rename, becuase the dentry is negative, it
can't be the source it must be the target and it must be going to do
a d_move() otherwise the rename will return an error.
In this case the parent dentry of the target will not change, it will
be the same over the d_move(), only the source dentry parent may change
so the inode i_lock isn't needed.

The kernfs write lock is held when the kernfs node inode attributes
are updated. Therefore, when either kernfs_iop_getattr() or
kernfs_iop_permission() are called the kernfs node inode attributes
won't change.
Consequently concurrent kernfs_refresh_inode() calls always copy the
same values from the kernfs node.
So there's no need to take the inode i_lock to get consistent values
for generic_fillattr() and generic_permission(), the kernfs read lock
is sufficient.

The functions to_usb_interface(), to_usb_device, and
interface_to_usbdev() sometimes would like to take a const * and return
a const * back. As we are doing pointer math, a call to container_of()
loses the const-ness of a pointer, so use a _Generic() macro to pick the
proper inline function to call instead.

If a const * to a kobject is passed to kobj_to_dev(), we want to return
back a const * to a device as the driver core shouldn't be modifying a
constant structure. But when dealing with container_of() the pointer
const attribute is cast away, so we need to manually handle this by
determining the type of the pointer passed in to know the type of the
pointer to pass out.
Luckily _Generic can do this type of magic, and as the kernel now
supports C11 it is availble to us to handle this type of build-time type
detection.

Pull more random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"This time with some large scale treewide cleanups.
The intent of this pull is to clean up the way callers fetch random
integers. The current rules for doing this right are:
- If you want a secure or an insecure random u64, use get_random_u64()
- If you want a secure or an insecure random u32, use get_random_u32()
The old function prandom_u32() has been deprecated for a while
now and is just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). Same for
get_random_int().
- If you want a secure or an insecure random u16, use get_random_u16()
- If you want a secure or an insecure random u8, use get_random_u8()
- If you want secure or insecure random bytes, use get_random_bytes().
The old function prandom_bytes() has been deprecated for a while
now and has long been a wrapper around get_random_bytes()
- If you want a non-uniform random u32, u16, or u8 bounded by a
certain open interval maximum, use prandom_u32_max()
I say "non-uniform", because it doesn't do any rejection sampling
or divisions. Hence, it stays within the prandom_*() namespace, not
the get_random_*() namespace.
I'm currently investigating a "uniform" function for 6.2. We'll see
what comes of that.
By applying these rules uniformly, we get several benefits:
- By using prandom_u32_max() with an upper-bound that the compiler
can prove at compile-time is ≤65536 or ≤256, internally
get_random_u16() or get_random_u8() is used, which wastes fewer
batched random bytes, and hence has higher throughput.
- By using prandom_u32_max() instead of %, when the upper-bound is
not a constant, division is still avoided, because
prandom_u32_max() uses a faster multiplication-based trick instead.
- By using get_random_u16() or get_random_u8() in cases where the
return value is intended to indeed be a u16 or a u8, we waste fewer
batched random bytes, and hence have higher throughput.
This series was originally done by hand while I was on an airplane
without Internet. Later, Kees and I worked on retroactively figuring
out what could be done with Coccinelle and what had to be done
manually, and then we split things up based on that.
So while this touches a lot of files, the actual amount of code that's
hand fiddled is comfortably small"

There is an outstanding binutils issue to support a non-constant operand
to .sleb128 and .uleb128 in GAS for RISC-V but there does not appear to
be any movement on it, due to concerns over how it would work with
linker relaxation.
To avoid these build errors, prevent DWARF5 from being selected when
using clang and an assembler that does not have support for these symbol
deltas, which can be easily checked in Kconfig with as-instr plus the
small test program from the dwz test suite from the binutils issue.

SLAB has been using kmalloc caches to allocate freelist_idx_t array for
off slab caches. But after the commit, freelist_size can be bigger than
KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE.
Instead of using pointer to kmalloc cache, use kmalloc_node() and only
check if the kmalloc cache is off slab during calculate_slab_order().
If freelist_size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, no looping condition happens
as it allocates freelist_idx_t array directly from buddy.
