Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
- Fix a recursive deadlock when duplicating executable file rules
Avoid multiple lookups and attempted I_MUTEX_PARENT locks when moving
watched files by passing the already resolved inodes through the
audit code.
- Fix removal of executable watch rules after the file is deleted
Prior to this fix we were unable to remove an executable file watch
where the file had been previously deleted due to a negative dentry
check in the code that performs the lookup on the file watches.
- Convert our basic "unsigned" type usage to "unsigned int".

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"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.

"Features:
- Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
lock in anon_pipe_write().
anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
selftests.
- uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).
- bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
that was merged into systemd.
- docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
conversions and iomap migration.
Fixes:
- libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.
- Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
minix v3 block size fails.
- mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.
- fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
path.
- vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.
- selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
where the tests should SKIP.
- filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.
- init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.
- fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
validate_coredump_safety().
- iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
__iomap_write_begin().
- backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.
Cleanups:
- initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
prefixes.
- Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
allocator calls with kmalloc().
- Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.
- Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
into start_removing_path().
- fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().
- vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for
the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.
- dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.
- iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
allocation against multiplication overflow.
- fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once.
- vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().
- dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().
- namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().
- sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

"Fixes
- rhashtable: give each instance its own lockdep class
syzbot reported a circular locking dependency between ht->mutex and
fs_reclaim via the simple_xattrs rhashtable being torn down during
inode eviction.
The predicted deadlock cannot occur: rhashtable_free_and_destroy()
cancels the deferred worker before taking ht->mutex and
acquisitions on distinct rhashtables are on distinct mutexes.
Lockdep flags a cycle anyway because every ht->mutex in the kernel
shared the single static lockdep class from
rhashtable_init_noprof().
The lockdep key is lifted to a per-call-site static key so every
rhashtable instance gets its own class.

debugobjects: Don't call fill_pool() in early boot hardirq context
During randconfig testing, I came across a lot of warnings for the newly
added carryless multiplication function triggering excessive stack usage
from spilling temporary variables to the stack:
lib/crypto/gf128hash.c:166:1: error: stack frame size (1192) exceeds limit (1024) in 'polyval_mul_generic' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
In addition to the possible risk of overflowing the kernel stack,
the generated object code surely performs very poorly.
This only happens on architectures that don't provide uint128_t
(which should be all 32-bit architectures on modern compilers), but
though I tested random x86 and arm configs, I only saw this with arm's
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, which adds more pressure to the register allocator.
The testing was done using clang-22, I don't know if gcc has the same
problem. Marking clmul32() as noinline_for_stack experimentally shows
all of the affected builds to completely solve the problem, reducing
the stack usage to a few bytes as expected.
Since u64 arithmetic frequently leads to compilers badly optimizing
32-bit targets, keeping clmul32 out of line is likely to help on
other 32-bit configurations as well when they run into this problem,
though it may also result in a small performance degradation in
configurations that would benefit from inlining.

The text display code used in the Risc PC kernel image decompression
code uses arch/arm/boot/compressed/font.c, which includes
lib/fonts/font_acorn_8x8.c, which further includes <linux/font.h>.
Since commit 97df896024 ("lib/fonts: Provide helpers for calculating
glyph pitch and size") <linux/font.h> contains inline functions that
require __do_div64, which is not linked into the ARM kernel
decompressor. This makes Risc PC zImages fail to build.
Resolve this issue by defining the BOOTLOADER symbol and use it to avoid
a static declaration of the acorndata_8x8 symbol. That way it can be
referenced by the arm bootloader, and other static math functions and
symbols (like __do_div64) stay static and don't get unneccesary included
in the ARM kernel bootloader decompressor object file.

When booting a debug PREEMPT_RT kernel on an ARM64 system, a "inconsistent
{HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage" lockdep warning message was
reported to the console.
During early boot, interrupts are enabled before the scheduler is
enabled. In this window (before SYSTEM_SCHEDULING is set) interrupts can
fire and in the hard interrupt context handler attempt to fill the pool
This can lead to a deadlock when the interrupt occurred when the interrupt
hits a region which holds a lock that is required to be taken in the
allocation path.
Add a new can_fill_pool() helper and reorder the exception rule and forbid
this scenario by excluding allocations from hard interrupt context.

Introduce a simpler iteration mechanism for rhashtable that lets
the caller continue from an arbitrary position by supplying the
previous key, without the per-iterator state of the
rhashtable_walk_* API.
void *rhashtable_next_key(struct rhashtable *ht,
const void *prev_key);
Caller holds RCU; passes NULL prev_key for the first element or
the previously returned key to advance. Walks tbl->future_tbl
chain so in-flight rehashes are observed.
Best-effort: in case of concurrent resize, provides no guarantees:
- may produce duplicate elements
- may skip any amount of elements
- termination of the loop is not guaranteed in case of
sustained rehash. Callers are advised to bound loop externally
or avoid inserting new elements during such loop.
Returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) if prev_key is not found.
Behavior on tables with duplicate keys is undefined.
rhltable is not supported — returns ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP).

The WW-mutex selftests deliberately exercise failing lock paths. On
PREEMPT_RT, some of those paths enter the RT-mutex scheduler helpers.
The change referenced by the Fixes tag made those helpers track RT-mutex
scheduling state in current->sched_rt_mutex. The bit is normally cleared by
the matching post-schedule helper, but some WW-mutex selftests disable
the runtime debug_locks flag before that happens. With debug_locks cleared,
lockdep_assert() does not evaluate the expression that clears the bit,
leaving stale state for the next testcase.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS=y, that
stale state produces warnings such as:

The lockdep selftests deliberately run unbalanced locking patterns.
dotest() restores the task state they leave behind before running the

On PREEMPT_RT, spin_lock() uses migrate_disable() instead of disabling
preemption. dotest() cleans up the resulting migration-disabled state, but
that cleanup is still guarded by CONFIG_SMP.
That used to match the scheduler data model, where migration_disabled was
also CONFIG_SMP-only. The commit referenced below made SMP scheduler state

The generic bit reversal implementation is controlled by
!HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE. This makes it difficult for architectures to
provide a hardware-accelerated implementation while being able to
fall back to the generic version if needed.
This patch adds GENERIC_BITREVERSE, so bitreverse API is controlled by
BITREVERSE, GENERIC_BITREVERSE and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE options. The
relationship between them is described as follows:
- BITREVERSE is selected by user code; it's required to generate the API;
- Architectures may select HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE and provide an arch
implementation in arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/bitrev.h.
- if HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE isn't set, BITREVERSE selects GENERIC_BITREVERSE;
- if GENERIC_BITREVERSE is set and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE is not, the kernel
provides generic implementation only, and wires bitrevXX() to it.
- if HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE is set and GENERIC_BITREVERSE is not, the arch
code provides __arch_bitrevXX(), and it is wired to bitrevXX();
- if both GENERIC_BITREVERSE and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE are selected, the kernel
generates generic___bitrev(), but wires bitrev() to the __arch_bitrev().
The last option allows architectures to use generic___bitrev() as a
fallback option.
Drivers and core code should never select GENERIC_BITREVERSE or
HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE explicitly.
Architectures that require generic bitreverse API as a fallback should
explicitly enable GENERIC_BITREVERSE together with HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE.

Clang 23 introduces several major improvements:
1. Support for multiple arguments in the `guarded_by` and
`pt_guarded_by` attributes [1]. This allows defining variables
protected by multiple context locks, where read access requires
holding at least one lock (shared or exclusive), and write access
requires holding all of them exclusively.
2. Function pointer support [2]. We can now add attributes to function
pointers just like we do on normal functions.
3. A fix to use arrays of locks [3]. Each index is now correctly treated
as a separate lock instance.
4. A fix for implicit member access in attributes [4]. This allows to
use __guarded_by(&foo->lock) correctly.
Overall that makes it worthwhile bumping the compiler version instead of
trying to make both Clang 22 and later work while supporting these new
features.

gcc-16 has gained some more advanced inter-procedual optimization

gcc cannot inline the inner function calls directly.
In debug_objects_selftest(), the same thing happens. Both the

Marking the affected functions as not "__init" would reliably avoid this

up not covering all the affected configurations.
With some more experimenting, I found that marking these functions as
__attribute__((noipa)) is both logical and reliable.
In order to keep the syntax readable, add a custom macro for this in
include/linux/compiler_attributes.h next to other related macros and
use it to annotate both files.

Pull kunit fix from Shuah Khan:
"Fix a use-after-free in kunit debugfs when using kunit.filter when the
executor frees dynamically allocated resources after running boot-time
tests. This resulted in fatal hardware exception due to invalidation
of capability flags on the reclaimed memory on some architectures such
as CHERI RISC-V that support the feature, and silent memory corruption
on others.
The fix for this couples the lifetime of the filtered suite memory
allocation to the lifetime of the kunit subsystem and its associated
VFS nodes. Ownership of the boot-time suite_set is now transferred to
a global tracker ('kunit_boot_suites'), and the memory is cleanly
released in kunit_exit() during module teardown"

kunit: fix use-after-free in debugfs when using kunit.filter
hash_pointers= accepts a small set of mode strings, but the parser uses
strncmp() with the length of each valid mode. That accepts values with
trailing garbage, such as hash_pointers=autobots or
hash_pointers=nevermind, as valid aliases for auto and never.
Use strcmp() so that only the documented mode strings are accepted.
Invalid values will continue to fall back to auto through the existing
unknown-mode path.
