The current cgroup directory layout for running the partition state
transition tests is mainly suitable for testing local partitions as
well as with a mix of local and remote partitions. It is not that
suitable for doing extensive remote partition and nested remote/local
partition testing.
Add a new set of remote partition tests REMOTE_TEST_MATRIX with another
cgroup directory structure more tailored for remote partition testing
to provide better code coverage.
Also add a few new test cases as well as adjusting existig ones for
the original TEST_MATRIX.

Currently, ',' is used as the cgroup separator of the expected effective

Currently, changes in exclusive CPUs are being handled in
remote_partition_check() by disabling conflicting remote partitions.
However, that may lead to results unexpected by the users. Fix
this problem by removing remote_partition_check() and making
update_cpumasks_hier() handle changes in descendant remote partitions
properly.
The compute_effective_exclusive_cpumask() function is enhanced to check
the exclusive_cpus and effective_xcpus from siblings and excluded them
in its effective exclusive CPUs computation and return a value to show if
there is any sibling conflicts. This is somewhat like the cpu_exclusive
flag check in validate_change(). This is the initial step to enable us
to retire the use of cpu_exclusive flag in cgroup v2 in the future.
One of the tests in the TEST_MATRIX of the test_cpuset_prs.sh
script has to be updated due to changes in the way a child remote
partition root is being handled (updated instead of invalidation)
in update_cpumasks_hier().

Pull bpf relisient spinlock support from Alexei Starovoitov:
"This patch set introduces Resilient Queued Spin Lock (or rqspinlock
with res_spin_lock() and res_spin_unlock() APIs).
This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled
state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress.
This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock
situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the
lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress.
Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant
recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of
defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting
loop of a lock slow path.
Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel
can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the
likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy.
There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in
internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can
be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF
subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are
mitigated at runtime.
This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and
remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when
nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across
different contexts.
We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform
comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case,
we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all
spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such,
benchmarks that stress kernel spin locks end up exercising rqspinlock.

'resilient-queued-spin-lock'")"

Pull fwctl subsystem from Jason Gunthorpe:
"fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order
to the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to
userspace.
Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are exposing a
device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging,
configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the
necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath.
This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID
space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID
controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and
management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in
an appropriate subsystem.
There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects
of this:
https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/
https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/
https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/
This includes three drivers to launch the subsystem:
- CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to
learn the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such
commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within
the fwctl security model
- mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all
current Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This
includes RDMA multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield
family of Smart NICs.
- AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart
NIC with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management
PCI function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL"

Pull io_uring zero-copy receive support from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for zero-copy receive with io_uring, enabling fast
bulk receive of data directly into application memory, rather than
needing to copy the data out of kernel memory.
While this version only supports host memory as that was the initial
target, other memory types are planned as well, with notably GPU
memory coming next.
This work depends on some networking components which were queued up
on the networking side, but have now landed in your tree.
This is the work of Pavel Begunkov and David Wei. From the v14 posting:
'We configure a page pool that a driver uses to fill a hw rx queue
to hand out user pages instead of kernel pages. Any data that ends
up hitting this hw rx queue will thus be dma'd into userspace
memory directly, without needing to be bounced through kernel
memory. 'Reading' data out of a socket instead becomes a
_notification_ mechanism, where the kernel tells userspace where
the data is. The overall approach is similar to the devmem TCP
proposal
This relies on hw header/data split, flow steering and RSS to
ensure packet headers remain in kernel memory and only desired
flows hit a hw rx queue configured for zero copy. Configuring this
is outside of the scope of this patchset.
We share netdev core infra with devmem TCP. The main difference is
that io_uring is used for the uAPI and the lifetime of all objects
are bound to an io_uring instance. Data is 'read' using a new
io_uring request type. When done, data is returned via a new shared
refill queue. A zero copy page pool refills a hw rx queue from this
refill queue directly. Of course, the lifetime of these data
buffers are managed by io_uring rather than the networking stack,
with different refcounting rules.
This patchset is the first step adding basic zero copy support. We
will extend this iteratively with new features e.g. dynamically
allocated zero copy areas, THP support, dmabuf support, improved
copy fallback, general optimisations and more'
In a local setup, I was able to saturate a 200G link with a single CPU
core, and at netdev conf 0x19 earlier this month, Jamal reported
188Gbit of bandwidth using a single core (no HT, including soft-irq).
Safe to say the efficiency is there, as bigger links would be needed
to find the per-core limit, and it's considerably more efficient and
faster than the existing devmem solution"

overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.
- Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy
Rx via io_uring.

- Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge
conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
- ctl_table range fixes
Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing
{under,over}flows.
- Misc fixes
Correct grammar errors and typos in test messages. Update sysctl
files in MAINTAINERS. Constified and removed array size in
declaration for alignment_tbl

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"Updates to the usual drivers (scsi_debug, ufs, lpfc, st, fnic, mpi3mr,
mpt3sas) and the removal of cxlflash.
The only non-trivial core change is an addition to unit attention
handling to recognize UAs for power on/reset and new media so the tape
driver can use it"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the first of the io_uring pull requests for the 6.15 merge
window, there will be others once the net tree has gone in. This
contains:
- Cleanup and unification of cancelation handling across various
request types.
- Improvement for bundles, supporting them both for incrementally
consumed buffers, and for non-multishot requests.
- Enable toggling of using iowait while waiting on io_uring events or
not. Unfortunately this is still tied with CPU frequency boosting
on short waits, as the scheduler side has not been very receptive
to splitting the (useless) iowait stat from the cpufreq implied
boost.
- Add support for kbuf nodes, enabling zero-copy support for the ublk
block driver.
- Various cleanups for resource node handling.
- Series greatly cleaning up the legacy provided (non-ring based)
buffers. For years, we've been pushing the ring provided buffers as
the way to go, and that is what people have been using. Reduce the
complexity and code associated with legacy provided buffers.
- Series cleaning up the compat handling.
- Series improving and cleaning up the recvmsg/sendmsg iovec and msg
handling.
- Series of cleanups for io-wq.
- Start adding a bunch of selftests. The liburing repository
generally carries feature and regression tests for everything, but
at least for ublk initially, we'll try and go the route of having
it in selftests as well. We'll see how this goes, might decide to
migrate more tests this way in the future.
- Various little cleanups and fixes"

Add tests for all ptrace actions checking "blockers=ptrace" records.
This also improves PTRACE_TRACEME and PTRACE_ATTACH tests by making sure
that the restrictions comes from Landlock, and with the expected
process. These extended tests are like enhanced errno checks that make
sure Landlock enforcement is consistent.

Add audit_test.c to check with and without LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_*
flags against the two Landlock audit record types:
AUDIT_LANDLOCK_ACCESS and AUDIT_LANDLOCK_DOMAIN.
Check consistency of domain IDs per layer in AUDIT_LANDLOCK_ACCESS and
AUDIT_LANDLOCK_DOMAIN messages: denied access, domain allocation, and
domain deallocation.
These tests use signal scoping to make it simple. They are not in the
scoped_signal_test.c file but in the new dedicated audit_test.c file.
Tests are run with audit filters to ensure the audit records come from
the test program. Moreover, because there can only be one audit
process, tests would failed if run in parallel. Because of audit
limitations, tests can only be run in the initial namespace.
The audit test helpers were inspired by libaudit and
tools/testing/selftests/net/netfilter/audit_logread.c

Add the base_test's restrict_self_fd_flags tests to align with previous
restrict_self_fd tests but with the new
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF flag.
Add the restrict_self_flags tests to check that
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_SAME_EXEC_OFF,
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_NEW_EXEC_ON, and
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF are valid but not the next
bit. Some checks are similar to restrict_self_checks_ordering's ones.
