Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.
This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
the actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
by up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
the HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
a single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
that are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
back online.
Driver API:
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
DPLL device via netlink.
- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.
- Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
signaling.
- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
- Rework the rescuer to process work items one-by-one instead of
slurping all pending work items in a single pass.
As there is only one rescuer per workqueue, a single long-blocking
work item could cause high latency for all tasks queued behind it,
even after memory pressure is relieved and regular kworkers become
available to service them.
- Add CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_WQ_STALL_PANIC build-time option and
workqueue.panic_on_stall_time parameter for time-based stall panic,
giving systems more control over workqueue stall handling.
- Replace BUG_ON() with panic() in the stall panic path for clearer
intent and more informative output.

workqueue: Process extra works in rescuer on memory pressure
workqueue: Process rescuer work items one-by-one using a cursor
workqueue: Make send_mayday() take a PWQ argument directly
Extend struct printk_info to include the task name, pid, and CPU
number where printk messages originate. This information is captured
at vprintk_store() time and propagated through printk_message to
nbcon_write_context, making it available to nbcon console drivers.
This is useful for consoles like netconsole that want to include
execution context in their output, allowing correlation of messages
with specific tasks and CPUs regardless of where the console driver
actually runs.
The feature is controlled by CONFIG_PRINTK_EXECUTION_CTX, which is
automatically selected by CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC. When disabled,
the helper functions compile to no-ops with no overhead.

Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number
from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to
make it work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to
pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when
__beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a
special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate
the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the
problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity
check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and
capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function
call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable
initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than
the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the interrupt core subsystem:
- Remove the interrupt timing infrastructure
This was added seven years ago to be used for power management
purposes, but that integration never happened.
- Clean up the remaining setup_percpu_irq() users
The memory allocator is available when interrupts can be requested
so there is not need for static irq_action. Move the remaining
users to request_percpu_irq() and delete the historical cruft.
- Warn when interrupt flag inconsistencies are detected in
request*_irq().
Inconsistent flags can lead to hard to diagnose malfunction. The
fallout of this new warning has been addressed in next and the
fixes are coming in via the maintainer trees and the tip
irq/cleanup pull requests.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,
using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features
(Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking
Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false
positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive
context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus
side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context
analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in
the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the
maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no
active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move
the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in
trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different
model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which
results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as
our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by
default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation
that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a
zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited
in distribution, admittedly)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems
and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled
for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default
disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Add support for verifying ML-DSA signatures.
ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) is a
recently-standardized post-quantum (quantum-resistant) signature
algorithm. It was known as Dilithium pre-standardization.
The first use case in the kernel will be module signing. But there
are also other users of RSA and ECDSA signatures in the kernel that
might want to upgrade to ML-DSA eventually.

"nhpoly1305" crypto_shash in favor of direct lib/crypto/ support for
NH hashing, and enable optimizations by default.

Pull bounce buffer dio for stable pages from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for bounce buffering of dio for stable pages. This
was all done by Christoph. In his words:
This series tries to address the problem that under I/O pages can be
modified during direct I/O, even when the device or file system
require stable pages during I/O to calculate checksums, parity or data
operations. It does so by adding block layer helpers to bounce buffer
an iov_iter into a bio, then wires that up in iomap and ultimately
XFS.
The reason that the file system even needs to know about it, is
because reads need a user context to copy the data back, and the
infrastructure to defer ioends to a workqueue currently sits in XFS.
I'm going to look into moving that into ioend and enabling it for
other file systems. Additionally btrfs already has it's own
infrastructure for this, and actually an urgent need to bounce buffer,
so this should be useful there and could be wire up easily. In fact
the idea comes from patches by Qu that did this in btrfs.
This patch fixes all but one xfstests failures on T10 PI capable
devices (generic/095 seems to have issues with a mix of mmap and
splice still, I'm looking into that separately), and make qemu VMs
running Windows, or Linux with swap enabled fine on an XFS file on a
device using PI.
Performance numbers on my (not exactly state of the art) NVMe PI test
setup:
Sequential reads using io_uring, QD=16.

In the FIND_NTH_BIT macro, if the 'size' parameter is 0, both the
loop conditions and the modulo condition are not met. Consequently,
the 'tmp' variable remains uninitialized before being used in the
'found' label.
This results in the following smatch errors:
lib/find_bit.c:164 __find_nth_bit() error: uninitialized symbol 'tmp'.
lib/find_bit.c:171 __find_nth_and_bit() error: uninitialized symbol 'tmp'.
lib/find_bit.c:178 __find_nth_andnot_bit() error: uninitialized symbol 'tmp'.
lib/find_bit.c:187 __find_nth_and_andnot_bit() error: uninitialized symbol 'tmp'.
Initialize 'tmp' to 0 to ensure that fns() operates on a zeroed value
(no bits set) when size is 0, preventing the use of garbage values.
[Yury: size == 0 is generally a sign of error on client side, and in
this case, any returned value is OK because the returned value would be
greater than 'size'. Applying the patch to reduce the checker noise.]

Add a KUnit test suite for the bitops API.
The existing 'lib/test_bitops.c' is preserved as-is because it contains
ad-hoc micro-benchmarks 'test_fns' and is intended to ensure no compiler
warnings from C=1 sparse checker or -Wextra compilations.
Introduce 'lib/tests/bitops_kunit.c' for functional regression testing. It
ports the test logic and data patterns from 'lib/test_bitops.c' to KUnit,
verifying correct behavior across various input patterns and
architecture-specific edge cases using isolated stack-allocated bitmaps.
The following test logic has been ported from test_bitops_startup() in
lib/test_bitops.c:
- set_bit() / clear_bit() / find_first_bit() validation ->
test_set_bit_clear_bit()
- get_count_order() validation -> test_get_count_order()
- get_count_order_long() validation -> test_get_count_order_long()
Also improve the find_first_bit() test to check the full bitmap length
(BITOPS_LENGTH) instead of omitting the last bit, ensuring the bitmap is
completely empty after cleanup.

This seems to be exacerbated (as we haven't seen these syzbot reports

To make this safe, we need to grab file refcount while VMA is still locked, but
other than that everything is pretty straightforward. Internal build_id_parse()
API assumes VMA is passed, but it only needs the underlying file reference, so
just add another variant build_id_parse_file() that expects file passed

Add a kernel config option to set the default value of
workqueue.panic_on_stall, similar to CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC,
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC.
This allows setting the number of workqueue stalls before triggering
a kernel panic at build time, which is useful for high-availability
systems that need consistent panic-on-stall, in other words, those
servers which run with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_*_PANIC=y already.
The default remains 0 (disabled). Setting it to 1 will panic on the
first stall, and higher values will panic after that many stall
warnings. The value can still be overridden at runtime via the
workqueue.panic_on_stall boot parameter or sysfs.

Add scoped init guard definitions for common synchronization primitives
supported by context analysis.
The scoped init guards treat the context as active within initialization
scope of the underlying context lock, given initialization implies
exclusive access to the underlying object. This allows initialization of
guarded members without disabling context analysis, while documenting
initialization from subsequent usage.
The documentation is updated with the new recommendation. Where scoped
init guards are not provided or cannot be implemented (ww_mutex omitted
for lack of multi-arg guard initializers), the alternative is to just
disable context analysis where guarded members are initialized.

Note that a deadlock like this is only possible if the bdi has configured
maximum fraction of writeout throughput which is very rare in general but
frequent for example for FUSE bdis. To fix this problem we have to make
sure write section of the sequence counter is irqsafe.

With CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y, GCC may decide not to inline
__cvdso_clock_getres_common(). This introduces spurious internal
function calls in the vDSO fastpath.
Furthermore, with automatic stack variable initialization
(CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO or CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN) GCC can emit
a call to memset() which is not valid in the vDSO.
Mark __cvdso_clock_getres_common() as __always_inline to avoid both issues.
Paradoxically the inlining even reduces the size of the code:
$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday-32.o.before arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday-32.o.after

Total: Before=2788, After=2692, chg -3.44%
With CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE=y the functions are always inlined
and therefore the behaviour stays the same.

Optimize the AES library with x86 AES-NI instructions.
The relevant existing assembly functions, aesni_set_key(), aesni_enc(),
and aesni_dec(), are a bit difficult to extract into the library:
- They're coupled to the code for the AES modes.
- They operate on struct crypto_aes_ctx. The AES library now uses
different structs.
- They assume the key is 16-byte aligned. The AES library only
*prefers* 16-byte alignment; it doesn't require it.
Moreover, they're not all that great in the first place:
- They use unrolled loops, which isn't a great choice on x86.
- They use the 'aeskeygenassist' instruction, which is unnecessary, is
slow on Intel CPUs, and forces the loop to be unrolled.
- They have special code for AES-192 key expansion, despite that being
kind of useless. AES-128 and AES-256 are the ones used in practice.
These are small functions anyway.
Therefore, I opted to just write replacements of these functions for the
library. They address all the above issues.

Move the SPARC64 AES assembly code into lib/crypto/, wire the key
expansion and single-block en/decryption functions up to the AES library
API, and remove the "aes-sparc64" crypto_cipher algorithm.
The result is that both the AES library and crypto_cipher APIs use the
SPARC64 AES opcodes, whereas previously only crypto_cipher did (and it
wasn't enabled by default, which this commit fixes as well).
Note that some of the functions in the SPARC64 AES assembly code are
still used by the AES mode implementations in
arch/sparc/crypto/aes_glue.c. For now, just export these functions.
These exports will go away once the AES mode implementations are
migrated to the library as well. (Trying to split up the assembly file
seemed like much more trouble than it would be worth.)

AES library instead of directly calling aes_encrypt_zvkned().
The result is that both the AES library and crypto_cipher APIs use
RISC-V's AES instructions, whereas previously only crypto_cipher did
(and it wasn't enabled by default, which this commit fixes as well).

Move the POWER8 AES assembly code into lib/crypto/, wire the key
expansion and single-block en/decryption functions up to the AES library
API, and remove the superseded "p8_aes" crypto_cipher algorithm.
The result is that both the AES library and crypto_cipher APIs are now
optimized for POWER8, whereas previously only crypto_cipher was (and
optimizations weren't enabled by default, which this commit fixes too).
Note that many of the functions in the POWER8 assembly code are still
used by the AES mode implementations in arch/powerpc/crypto/. For now,
just export these functions. These exports will go away once the AES
modes are migrated to the library as well. (Trying to split up the
assembly file seemed like much more trouble than it would be worth.)
Another challenge with this code is that the POWER8 assembly code uses a
custom format for the expanded AES key. Since that code is imported
from OpenSSL and is also targeted to POWER8 (rather than POWER9 which
has better data movement and byteswap instructions), that is not easily
changed. For now I've just kept the custom format. To maintain full
correctness, this requires executing some slow fallback code in the case
where the usability of VSX changes between key expansion and use. This
should be tolerable, as this case shouldn't happen in practice.

The kernel's AES library currently has the following issues:
- It doesn't take advantage of the architecture-optimized AES code,
including the implementations using AES instructions.
- It's much slower than even the other software AES implementations: 2-4
times slower than "aes-generic", "aes-arm", and "aes-arm64".
- It requires that both the encryption and decryption round keys be
computed and cached. This is wasteful for users that need only the
forward (encryption) direction of the cipher: the key struct is 484
bytes when only 244 are actually needed. This missed optimization is
very common, as many AES modes (e.g. GCM, CFB, CTR, CMAC, and even the
tweak key in XTS) use the cipher only in the forward (encryption)
direction even when doing decryption.
- It doesn't provide the flexibility to customize the prepared key
format. The API is defined to do key expansion, and several callers
in drivers/crypto/ use it specifically to expand the key. This is an
issue when integrating the existing powerpc, s390, and sparc code,
which is necessary to provide full parity with the traditional API.
To resolve these issues, I'm proposing the following changes:
1. New structs 'aes_key' and 'aes_enckey' are introduced, with
corresponding functions aes_preparekey() and aes_prepareenckey().
Generally these structs will include the encryption+decryption round
keys and the encryption round keys, respectively. However, the exact
format will be under control of the architecture-specific AES code.
(The verb "prepare" is chosen over "expand" since key expansion isn't
necessarily done. It's also consistent with hmac*_preparekey().)
2. aes_encrypt() and aes_decrypt() will be changed to operate on the new
structs instead of struct crypto_aes_ctx.
3. aes_encrypt() and aes_decrypt() will use architecture-optimized code
when available, or else fall back to a new generic AES implementation
that unifies the existing two fragmented generic AES implementations.
The new generic AES implementation uses tables for both SubBytes and
MixColumns, making it almost as fast as "aes-generic". However,
instead of aes-generic's huge 8192-byte tables per direction, it uses
only 1024 bytes for encryption and 1280 bytes for decryption (similar
to "aes-arm"). The cost is just some extra rotations.
The new generic AES implementation also includes table prefetching,
making it have some "constant-time hardening". That's an improvement
from aes-generic which has no constant-time hardening.
It does slightly regress in constant-time hardening vs. the old
lib/crypto/aes.c which had smaller tables, and from aes-fixed-time
which disabled IRQs on top of that. But I think this is tolerable.
The real solutions for constant-time AES are AES instructions or
bit-slicing. The table-based code remains a best-effort fallback for
the increasingly-rare case where a real solution is unavailable.
4. crypto_aes_ctx and aes_expandkey() will remain for now, but only for
callers that are using them specifically for the AES key expansion
(as opposed to en/decrypting data with the AES library).
This commit begins the migration process by introducing the new structs
and functions, backed by the new generic AES implementation.
To allow callers to be incrementally converted, aes_encrypt() and
aes_decrypt() are temporarily changed into macros that use a _Generic
expression to call either the old functions (which take crypto_aes_ctx)
or the new functions (which take the new types). Once all callers have
been updated, these macros will go away, the old functions will be
removed, and the "_new" suffix will be dropped from the new functions.

Since ML-DSA is FIPS-approved, add the boot-time self-test which is
apparently required.
Just add a test vector manually for now, borrowed from
lib/crypto/tests/mldsa-testvecs.h (where in turn it's borrowed from
leancrypto). The SHA-* FIPS test vectors are generated by
scripts/crypto/gen-fips-testvecs.py instead, but the common Python
libraries don't support ML-DSA yet.

Migrate the x86_64 implementations of NH into lib/crypto/. This makes
the nh() function be optimized on x86_64 kernels.
Note: this temporarily makes the adiantum template not utilize the
x86_64 optimized NH code. This is resolved in a later commit that
converts the adiantum template to use nh() instead of "nhpoly1305".
