Patch series "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users", v9.
This series refactors the KHO framework to better support in-kernel users
like the upcoming LUO. The current design, which relies on a notifier
chain and debugfs for control, is too restrictive for direct programmatic
use.
The core of this rework is the removal of the notifier chain in favor of a
direct registration API. This decouples clients from the shutdown-time
finalization sequence, allowing them to manage their preserved state more
flexibly and at any time.
In support of this new model, this series also:
- Makes the debugfs interface optional.
- Introduces APIs to unpreserve memory and fixes a bug in the abort
path where client state was being incorrectly discarded. Note that
this is an interim step, as a more comprehensive fix is planned as
part of the stateless KHO work [1].
- Moves all KHO code into a new kernel/liveupdate/ directory to
consolidate live update components.
This patch (of 9):
Currently, KHO is controlled via debugfs interface, but once LUO is
introduced, it can control KHO, and the debug interface becomes optional.
Add a separate config CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_DEBUGFS that enables the
debugfs interface, and allows to inspect the tree.
Move all debugfs related code to a new file to keep the .c files clear of
ifdefs.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Check for reader catching up in ring_buffer_map_get_reader()
If the reader catches up to the writer in the memory mapped ring
buffer then calling rb_get_reader_page() will return NULL as there's
no pages left. But this isn't checked for before calling
rb_get_reader_page() and the return of NULL causes a warning.
If it is detected that the reader caught up to the writer, then
simply exit the routine
- Fix memory leak in histogram create_field_var()
The couple of the error paths in create_field_var() did not properly
clean up what was allocated. Make sure everything is freed properly
on error
- Fix help message of tools latency_collector
The help message incorrectly stated that "-t" was the same as
"--threads" whereas "--threads" is actually represented by "-e"
* tag 'trace-v6.18-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
tracing/tools: Fix incorrcet short option in usage text for --threads
tracing: Fix memory leaks in create_field_var()
ring-buffer: Do not warn in ring_buffer_map_get_reader() when reader catches up
The help message incorrectly listed '-t' as the short option for
--threads, but the actual getopt_long configuration uses '-e'.
This mismatch can confuse users and lead to incorrect command-line
usage. This patch updates the usage string to correctly show:
"-e, --threads NRTHR"
to match the implementation.
Note: checkpatch.pl reports a false-positive spelling warning on
'Run', which is intentional.

Sometimes VMs will have some intermittent dmesg warnings that are
unrelated to vsock. Change the dmesg parsing to filter on strings
containing 'vsock' to avoid false positive failures that are unrelated
to vsock. The downside is that it is possible for some vsock related
warnings to not contain the substring 'vsock', so those will be missed.

The GRO self-test, gro.c, currently constructs IPv6 packets containing a
Hop-by-Hop Options header (IPPROTO_HOPOPTS) to ensure the GRO path
correctly handles IPv6 extension headers.
However, network elements may be configured to drop packets with the
Hop-by-Hop Options header (HBH). This causes the self-test to fail
in environments where such network elements are present.
To improve the robustness and reliability of this test in diverse
network environments, switch from using IPPROTO_HOPOPTS to
IPPROTO_DSTOPTS (Destination Options).
The Destination Options header is less likely to be dropped by
intermediate routers and still serves the core purpose of the test:
validating GRO's handling of an IPv6 extension header. This change
ensures the test can execute successfully without being incorrectly
failed by network policies outside the kernel's control.

Due to the gro_sender sending data packets and FIN packets
in very quick succession, these are received almost simultaneously
by the gro_receiver. FIN packets are sometimes processed before the
data packets leading to intermittent (~1/100) test failures.
This change adds a delay of 100ms before sending FIN packets
in gro:tcp test to avoid the out-of-order delivery. The same
mitigation already exists for the gro:ip test.

In bareudp.sh, this script uses /bin/sh and it will load another lib.sh
BASH script at the very beginning.
But on some operating systems like Ubuntu, /bin/sh is actually pointed to
DASH, thus it will try to run BASH commands with DASH and consequently
leads to syntax issues:
# ./bareudp.sh: 4: ./lib.sh: Bad substitution
# ./bareudp.sh: 5: ./lib.sh: source: not found
# ./bareudp.sh: 24: ./lib.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Fix this by explicitly using BASH for bareudp.sh. This fixes test
execution failures on systems where /bin/sh is not BASH.

Add __vfio_pci_dma_*() helpers which return -errno from the underlying
ioctls.
Add __vfio_pci_dma_unmap_all() to test more unmapping code paths. Add an
out unmapped arg to report the unmapped byte size.
The existing vfio_pci_dma_*() functions, which are intended for
happy-path usage (assert on failure) are now thin wrappers on top of the
double-underscore helpers.

When request a none support device operation, there will be no reply.
In this case, the len(desc) check will always be true, causing print_field

To fix this, return immediately if there is no reply.

The ynl_attr_put_str() function was not including the null terminator
in the attribute length calculation. This caused kernel to reject
CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY requests with EINVAL:
"Attribute failed policy validation".
For a 4-character family name like "dpll":
- Sent: nla_len=8 (4 byte header + 4 byte string without null)
- Expected: nla_len=9 (4 byte header + 5 byte string with null)
The bug was introduced in commit 15d2540e0d ("tools: ynl: check for
overflow of constructed messages") when refactoring from stpcpy() to
strlen(). The original code correctly included the null terminator:
end = stpcpy(ynl_attr_data(attr), str);
attr->nla_len = NLA_HDRLEN + NLA_ALIGN(end -
(char *)ynl_attr_data(attr));
Since stpcpy() returns a pointer past the null terminator, the length
included it. The refactored version using strlen() omitted the +1.
The fix also removes NLA_ALIGN() from nla_len calculation, since
nla_len should contain actual attribute length, not aligned length.
Alignment is only for calculating next attribute position. This makes
the code consistent with ynl_attr_put().
CTRL_ATTR_FAMILY_NAME uses NLA_NUL_STRING policy which requires
null terminator. Kernel validates with memchr() and rejects if not
found.

Between Rust 1.79 and 1.86, under `CONFIG_RUST_KERNEL_DOCTESTS=y`,
`objtool` may report:
rust/doctests_kernel_generated.o: warning: objtool:
rust_doctest_kernel_alloc_kbox_rs_13() falls through to next
function rust_doctest_kernel_alloc_kvec_rs_0()
(as well as in rust_doctest_kernel_alloc_kvec_rs_0) due to calls to the
`noreturn` symbol:
core::option::expect_failed
from code added in commits 779db37373 ("rust: alloc: kvec: implement
AsPageIter for VVec") and 671618432f ("rust: alloc: kbox: implement
AsPageIter for VBox").
Thus add the mangled one to the list so that `objtool` knows it is
actually `noreturn`.
This can be reproduced as well in other versions by tweaking the code,
such as the latest stable Rust (1.90.0).
Stable does not have code that triggers this, but it could have it in
the future. Downstream forks could too. Thus tag it for backport.
See commit 56d680dd23 ("objtool/rust: list `noreturn` Rust functions")
for more details.
