Pull apparmor updates from John Johansen:
"This has one major feature, it pulls in a cleaned up version of
af_unix mediation that Ubuntu has been carrying for years. It is
placed behind a new abi to ensure that it does cause policy
regressions. With pulling in the af_unix mediation there have been
cleanups and some refactoring of network socket mediation. This
accounts for the majority of the changes in the diff.
In addition there are a few improvements providing minor code
optimizations. several code cleanups, and bug fixes.
Features:
- improve debug printing
- carry mediation check on label (optimization)
- improve ability for compiler to optimize
__begin_current_label_crit_section
- transition for a linked list of rulesets to a vector of rulesets
- don't hardcode profile signal, allow it to be set by policy
- ability to mediate caps via the state machine instead of lut
- Add Ubuntu af_unix mediation, put it behind new v9 abi
Cleanups:
- fix typos and spelling errors
- cleanup kernel doc and code inconsistencies
- remove redundant checks/code
- remove unused variables
- Use str_yes_no() helper function
- mark tables static where appropriate
- make all generated string array headers const char *const
- refactor to doc semantics of file_perm checks
- replace macro calls to network/socket fns with explicit calls
- refactor/cleanup socket mediation code preparing for finer grained
mediation of different network families
- several updates to kernel doc comments
Bug fixes:
- fix incorrect profile->signal range check
- idmap mount fixes
- policy unpack unaligned access fixes
- kfree_sensitive() where appropriate
- fix oops when freeing policy
- fix conflicting attachment resolution
- fix exec table look-ups when stacking isn't first
- fix exec auditing
- mitigate userspace generating overly large xtables"

Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Remove unneeded goto out statements
Over time, the logic was restructured but left a "goto out" where the
out label simply did a "return ret;". Instead of jumping to this out
label, simply return immediately and remove the out label.
- Add guard(ring_buffer_nest)
Some calls to the tracing ring buffer can happen when the ring buffer
is already being written to at the same context (for example, a
trace_printk() in between a ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and a
ring_buffer_unlock_commit()).
In order to not trigger the recursion detection, these functions use
ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end(). Create a guard()
for these functions so that their use cases can be simplified and not
need to use goto for the release.
- Clean up the tracing code with guard() and __free() logic
There were several locations that were prime candidates for using
guard() and __free() helpers. Switch them over to use them.
- Fix output of function argument traces for unsigned int values
The function tracer with "func-args" option set will record up to 6
argument registers and then use BTF to format them for human
consumption when the trace file is read. There are several arguments
that are "unsigned long" and even "unsigned int" that are either and
address or a mask. It is easier to understand if they were printed
using hexadecimal instead of decimal. The old method just printed all
non-pointer values as signed integers, which made it even worse for
unsigned integers.
For instance, instead of:
__local_bh_disable_ip(ip=-2127311112, cnt=256) <-handle_softirqs
show:
__local_bh_disable_ip(ip=0xffffffff8133cef8, cnt=0x100) <-handle_softirqs"

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and
'ref_as_ptr'
These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator,
which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less
powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes
- Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
plural one in the previous cycle
'kernel' crate:
- New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
kernel parameters:
warn_on!(value == 42);
To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is
followed as for the static branch code in order to share the
assembly between both C and Rust
This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the
existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no
functional change expected there
- 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a
'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an
'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.:
/// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
/// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
fn print_later(value: Arc<MyStruct>) {
let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
}
- New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:
static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));
assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());
- 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which
reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr'
Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C,
to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing
them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add
it to the prelude, too
- Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and
some other cleanups
Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances
- 'dma' module:
- Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature
- Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'
- Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'
- Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add
the corresponding type invariants
- Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'
- 'time' module:
- Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the
compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the
'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source
- Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers
take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time,
depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can
check the type matches the timer mode
- Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending
on the requested sleep time
- Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
timestamps
- Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types
- Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'
- 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove
pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes
'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other
simplifications too
- 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
require 'into_foreign' to return non-null
Remove the 'Either<L, R>' type as well. It is unused, and we want
to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases
- 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
to allow them to be used in generic APIs
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box<T, A>';
and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec<T, A>'
- 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it
- 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method
- 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which
we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment
in 'static_lock_class'
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'impl<T, E> [Pin]Init<T, E> for Result<T, E>', so results are
now (pin-)initializers
- Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'
- New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'
- Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for
'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for
'"Rust"' and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments
- Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl<T, E>
[Pin]Init<T, E> for T' to 'impl<T> [Pin]Init<T> for T'
- Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'
- Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
'--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two
'-next' branches in upstream and the kernel

- Add Vlastimil Babka, Liam R. Howlett, Uladzislau Rezki and Lorenzo

Add version checks to print_delayacct() to handle differences in struct
taskstats across kernel versions. Field availability depends on taskstats
version (t->version), corresponding to TASKSTATS_VERSION in kernel headers
(see include/uapi/linux/taskstats.h).
Version feature mapping:
- version >= 11 - supports COMPACT statistics
- version >= 13 - supports WPCOPY statistics
- version >= 14 - supports IRQ statistics
- version >= 16 - supports *_max and *_min delay statistics
This ensures the tool works correctly with both older and newer kernel
versions by conditionally printing fields based on the reported version.

Testing kexec handover requires a kernel driver that will generate some
data and preserve it with KHO on the first boot and then restore that data
and verify it was preserved properly after kexec.
To facilitate such test, along with the kernel driver responsible for data
generation, preservation and restoration add a script that runs a kernel
in a VM with a minimal /init. The /init enables KHO, loads a kernel image
for kexec and runs kexec reboot. After the boot of the kexeced kernel,
the driver verifies that the data was properly preserved.

The delaytop tool supports showing system delays and task-level delays,
effectively identifying the top-n tasks with high latency in the system,
which is highly beneficial for improving system performance. Wang Yaxin
and her colleague Fan Yu focus on locating system delay issues. To
promote the thriving development of delaytop, we hope to serve as
maintainers to continuously improve it, aiming to provide a more effective
solution for system latency issues in the future.

The type of u argument of atomic_long_inc_below() should be long to avoid
unwanted truncation to int.
The patch fixes the wrong argument type of an internal function to
prevent unwanted argument truncation. It fixes an internal locking
primitive; it should not have any direct effect on userspace.
Mark said
: AFAICT there's no problem in practice because atomic_long_inc_below()
: is only used by inc_ucount(), and it looks like the value is
: constrained between 0 and INT_MAX.
:
: In inc_ucount() the limit value is taken from
: user_namespace::ucount_max[], and AFAICT that's only written by
: sysctls, to the table setup by setup_userns_sysctls(), where
: UCOUNT_ENTRY() limits the value between 0 and INT_MAX.
:
: This is certainly a cleanup, but there might be no functional issue in
: practice as above.

When booting a new kernel with kexec_file, the kernel picks a target
location that the kernel should live at, then allocates random pages,
checks whether any of those patches magically happens to coincide with a
target address range and if so, uses them for that range.
For every page allocated this way, it then creates a page list that the
relocation code - code that executes while all CPUs are off and we are
just about to jump into the new kernel - copies to their final memory
location. We can not put them there before, because chances are pretty
good that at least some page in the target range is already in use by the
currently running Linux environment. Copying is happening from a single
CPU at RAM rate, which takes around 4-50 ms per 100 MiB.
All of this is inefficient and error prone.
To successfully kexec, we need to quiesce all devices of the outgoing
kernel so they don't scribble over the new kernel's memory. We have seen
cases where that does not happen properly (*cough* GIC *cough*) and hence
the new kernel was corrupted. This started a month long journey to root
cause failing kexecs to eventually see memory corruption, because the new
kernel was corrupted severely enough that it could not emit output to tell
us about the fact that it was corrupted. By allocating memory for the
next kernel from a memory range that is guaranteed scribbling free, we can
boot the next kernel up to a point where it is at least able to detect
corruption and maybe even stop it before it becomes severe. This
increases the chance for successful kexecs.
Since kexec got introduced, Linux has gained the CMA framework which can
perform physically contiguous memory mappings, while keeping that memory
available for movable memory when it is not needed for contiguous
allocations. The default CMA allocator is for DMA allocations.
This patch adds logic to the kexec file loader to attempt to place the
target payload at a location allocated from CMA. If successful, it uses
that memory range directly instead of creating copy instructions during
the hot phase. To ensure that there is a safety net in case anything goes
wrong with the CMA allocation, it also adds a flag for user space to force
disable CMA allocations.
Using CMA allocations has two advantages:
1) Faster by 4-50 ms per 100 MiB. There is no more need to copy in the
hot phase.
2) More robust. Even if by accident some page is still in use for DMA,
the new kernel image will be safe from that access because it resides
in a memory region that is considered allocated in the old kernel and
has a chance to reinitialize that component.

Pull firewire updates from Takashi Sakamoto:
"This update replaces the remaining tasklet usage in the FireWire
subsystem with workqueue for asynchronous packet transmission. With
this change, tasklets are now fully eliminated from the subsystem.
Asynchronous packet transmission is used for serial bus topology
management as well as for the operation of the SBP-2 protocol driver
(firewire-sbp2). To ensure reliability during low-memory conditions,
the associated workqueue is created with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag,
allowing it to participate in memory reclaim paths. Other attributes
are aligned with those used for isochronous packet handling, which was
migrated to workqueues in v6.12.
The workqueues are sleepable and support preemptible work items,
making them more suitable for real-time workloads that benefit from
timely task preemption at the system level.
There remains an issue where 'schedule()' may be called within an RCU
read-side critical section, due to a direct replacement of
'tasklet_disable_in_atomic()' with 'disable_work_sync()'. A proposed
fix for this has been posted[1], and is currently under review and
testing. It is expected to be sent upstream later"

"Build-ID processing goodies:
Build-IDs are content based hashes to link regions of memory to ELF
files in post processing. They have been available in distros for
quite a while:
$ file /bin/bash
/bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2,
BuildID[sha1]=707a1c670cd72f8e55ffedfbe94ea98901b7ce3a,
for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped
It is possible to ask the kernel to get it from mmap executable
backing storage at time they are being put in place and send it as
metadata at that moment to have in perf.data.
Prefer that across the board to speed up 'record' time - it post
processes the samples to find binaries touched by any samples and
to save them with build-ID. It can skip reading build-ID in
userspace if it comes from the kernel.
perf record:
* Make --buildid-mmap default. The kernel can generate MMAP2 events
with a build-ID from ELF header. Use that by default instead of using
inode and device ID to identify binaries. It also can be disabled
with --no-buildid-mmap.
* Use BPF for -u/--uid option to sample processes belong to a user.
BPF can track user processes more accurately and the existing logic
often fails to get the list of processes due to race with reading the
/proc filesystem.
* Generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA when it profiles BPF programs and
they have variables starting with "bpf_metadata_". This will help to
identify BPF objects used in the profile. This has been supported in
bpftool for some time and allows the recording of metadata such as
commit hashes, versions, etc, that now gets recorded in perf.data as
well.
* Collect list of DSOs touched in the sample callchains as well as in
the sample itself. This would increase the processing time at the end
of record, but can improve the data quality.
perf stat:
* Add a new 'drm' pseudo-PMU support like in 'hwmon'. It can collect
DRM usage stats using fdinfo in /proc.
