The KHO framework uses a notifier chain as the mechanism for clients to
participate in the finalization process. While this works for a single,
central state machine, it is too restrictive for kernel-internal
components like pstore/reserve_mem or IMA. These components need a
simpler, direct way to register their state for preservation (e.g., during
their initcall) without being part of a complex, shutdown-time notifier
sequence. The notifier model forces all participants into a single
finalization flow and makes direct preservation from an arbitrary context
difficult. This patch refactors the client participation model by
removing the notifier chain and introducing a direct API for managing FDT
subtrees.
The core kho_finalize() and kho_abort() state machine remains, but clients
now register their data with KHO beforehand.

Add a KUnit test suite to validate the base64 helpers. The tests cover
both encoding and decoding, including padded and unpadded forms as defined
by RFC 4648 (standard base64), and add negative cases for malformed inputs
and padding errors.
The test suite also validates other variants (URLSAFE, IMAP) to ensure
their correctness.
In addition to functional checks, the suite includes simple
microbenchmarks which report average encode/decode latency for small (64B)
and larger (1KB) inputs. These numbers are informational only and do not
gate the tests.
Kconfig (BASE64_KUNIT) and lib/tests/Makefile are updated accordingly.
Sample KUnit output:

The old base64 implementation relied on a bit-accumulator loop, which was
slow for larger inputs and too permissive in validation. It would accept
extra '=', missing '=', or even '=' appearing in the middle of the input,
allowing malformed strings to pass. This patch reworks the internals to
improve performance and enforce stricter validation.
Changes:
- Encoder:
* Process input in 3-byte blocks, mapping 24 bits into four 6-bit
symbols, avoiding bit-by-bit shifting and reducing loop iterations.
* Handle the final 1-2 leftover bytes explicitly and emit '=' only when
requested.
- Decoder:
* Based on the reverse lookup tables from the previous patch, decode
input in 4-character groups.
* Each group is looked up directly, converted into numeric values, and
combined into 3 output bytes.
* Explicitly handle padded and unpadded forms:
- With padding: input length must be a multiple of 4, and '=' is
allowed only in the last two positions. Reject stray or early '='.
- Without padding: validate tail lengths (2 or 3 chars) and require
unused low bits to be zero.
* Removed the bit-accumulator style loop to reduce loop iterations.
Performance (x86_64, Intel Core i7-10700 @ 2.90GHz, avg over 1000 runs,
KUnit):
Encode:
64B ~90ns -> ~32ns (~2.8x)
1KB ~1332ns -> ~510ns (~2.6x)
Decode:
64B ~1530ns -> ~35ns (~43.7x)
1KB ~27726ns -> ~530ns (~52.3x)

Patch series " lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users", v5.
This series introduces a generic Base64 encoder/decoder to the kernel
library, eliminating duplicated implementations and delivering significant
performance improvements.
The Base64 API has been extended to support multiple variants (Standard,
URL-safe, and IMAP) as defined in RFC 4648 and RFC 3501. The API now
takes a variant parameter and an option to control padding. As part of
this series, users are migrated to the new interface while preserving
their specific formats: fscrypt now uses BASE64_URLSAFE, Ceph uses
BASE64_IMAP, and NVMe is updated to BASE64_STD.
On the encoder side, the implementation processes input in 3-byte blocks,
mapping 24 bits directly to 4 output symbols. This avoids bit-by-bit
streaming and reduces loop overhead, achieving about a 2.7x speedup
compared to previous implementations.
On the decoder side, replace strchr() lookups with per-variant reverse
tables and process input in 4-character groups. Each group is mapped to
numeric values and combined into 3 bytes. Padded and unpadded forms are
validated explicitly, rejecting invalid '=' usage and enforcing tail
rules. This improves throughput by ~43-52x.
This patch (of 6):
Extend the base64 API to support multiple variants (standard, URL-safe,
and IMAP) as defined in RFC 4648 and RFC 3501. The API now takes a
variant parameter and an option to control padding. Update NVMe auth code
to use the new interface with BASE64_STD.

This reverts commit 7abcb84f95.
The introduction of WRITE_ONCE() calls for the 'prev' and 'next' variables
inside plist_check_list() was a misapplication. WRITE_ONCE() is
fundamentally a compiler barrier designed to prevent compiler
optimizations (like caching or reordering) on shared memory locations.
However, the variables 'prev' and 'next' are local, stack-allocated
pointers accessed only by the current thread's invocation of the function.
Since these pointers are thread-local and are never accessed concurrently,
applying WRITE_ONCE() to them is semantically incorrect and unnecessary.
Furthermore, the use of WRITE_ONCE() on local variables prevents the
compiler from performing standard optimizations, such as keeping these
variables cached solely in CPU registers throughout the loop, potentially
introducing performance overhead. Restore the conventional C assignment
for local loop variables, allowing the compiler to generate optimal code.

Replace the bit by bit algorithm with one that generates 16 bits per
iteration on 32bit architectures and 32 bits on 64bit ones.
On my zen 5 this reduces the time for the tests (using the generic code)
from ~3350ns to ~1000ns.
Running the 32bit algorithm on 64bit x86 takes ~1500ns. It'll be slightly
slower on a real 32bit system, mostly due to register pressure.
The savings for 32bit x86 are much higher (tested in userspace). The
worst case (lots of bits in the quotient) drops from ~900 clocks to ~130
(pretty much independant of the arguments). Other 32bit architectures may
see better savings.
It is possibly to optimise for divisors that span less than
__LONG_WIDTH__/2 bits. However I suspect they don't happen that often and
it doesn't remove any slow cpu divide instructions which dominate the
result.
Typical improvements for 64bit random divides:
old new
sandy bridge: 470 150
haswell: 400 144
piledriver: 960 467 I think rdpmc is very slow.
zen5: 244 80
(Timing is 'rdpmc; mul_div(); rdpmc' with the multiply depending on the
first rdpmc and the second rdpmc depending on the quotient.)
Object code (64bit x86 test program): old 0x173 new 0x141.

gcc generates horrid code for both ((u64)u32_a * u32_b) and (u64_a +
u32_b). As well as the extra instructions it can generate a lot of spills
to stack (including spills of constant zeros and even multiplies by
constant zero).
mul_u32_u32() already exists to optimise the multiply. Add a similar
add_u64_32() for the addition. Disable both for clang - it generates
better code without them.
Move the 64x64 => 128 multiply into a static inline helper function for
code clarity. No need for the a/b_hi/lo variables, the implicit casts on
the function calls do the work for us. Should have minimal effect on the
generated code.
Use mul_u32_u32() and add_u64_u32() in the 64x64 => 128 multiply in
mul_u64_add_u64_div_u64().

If the product is only 64bits div64_u64() can be used for the divide.
Replace the pre-multiply check (ilog2(a) + ilog2(b) <= 62) with a simple
post-multiply check that the high 64bits are zero.
This has the advantage of being simpler, more accurate and less code. It
will always be faster when the product is larger than 64bits.
Most 64bit cpu have a native 64x64=128 bit multiply, this is needed (for
the low 64bits) even when div64_u64() is called - so the early check gains
nothing and is just extra code.
32bit cpu will need a compare (etc) to generate the 64bit ilog2() from two
32bit bit scans - so that is non-trivial. (Never mind the mess of x86's
'bsr' and any oddball cpu without fast bit-scan instructions.) Whereas the
additional instructions for the 128bit multiply result are pretty much one
multiply and two adds (typically the 'adc $0,%reg' can be run in parallel
with the instruction that follows).
The only outliers are 64bit systems without 128bit mutiply and simple in
order 32bit ones with fast bit scan but needing extra instructions to get
the high bits of the multiply result. I doubt it makes much difference to
either, the latter is definitely not mainstream.
If anyone is worried about the analysis they can look at the generated
code for x86 (especially when cmov isn't used).

Patch series "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()", v5.
The pwm-stm32.c code wants a 'rounding up' version of
mul_u64_u64_div_u64(). This can be done simply by adding 'divisor - 1' to
the 128bit product. Implement mul_u64_add_u64_div_u64(a, b, c, d) = (a *
b + c)/d based on the existing code. Define mul_u64_u64_div_u64(a, b, d)
as mul_u64_add_u64_div_u64(a, b, 0, d) and mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup(a,
b, d) as mul_u64_add_u64_div_u64(a, b, d-1, d).
Only x86-64 has an optimsed (asm) version of the function. That is
optimised to avoid the 'add c' when c is known to be zero. In all other
cases the extra code will be noise compared to the software divide code.
The test module has been updated to test mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup() and
also enhanced it to verify the C division code on x86-64 and the 32bit
division code on 64bit.
This patch (of 9):
Change to prototype from mul_u64_u64_div_u64(u64 a, u64 b, u64 c) to
mul_u64_u64_div_u64(u64 a, u64 b, u64 d). Using 'd' for 'divisor' makes
more sense.
An upcoming change adds a 'c' parameter to calculate (a * b + c)/d.

This was fixed by adding __maybe_unused attribute that just hides the
issue and didn't actually fix the root cause. Rewrite the fix by moving
the local variable from stack to a heap.
As a side effect this drops unneeded "synchronisation" of duplicative info
and also makes code ready for the further refactoring.

In practical problem diagnosis, especially during the boot phase, it is
often desirable to know the call sequence. However, currently, apart from
adding print statements and recompiling the kernel, there seems to be no
good alternative. If dynamic_debug supported printing the call stack, it
would be very helpful for diagnosing issues. This patch add support '+d'
for dump stack.

It seems that hardly anyone (or even no one?) actually uses big endian
arm kernels. But as long as they're ostensibly supported, we should
disable this code on them so that it's not accidentally used.
Note: for future-proofing, use !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN instead of
CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN. Both of these are arch-specific options that could
get removed in the future if big endian support gets dropped.

Restore the cc-option check for '-fsanitize=kernel-memory' to make sure
the compiler target properly supports '-fsanitize=kernel-memory'. The
check for '-msan-disable-checks=1' does not need to be restored because
all supported clang versions for building the kernel support it.

When running parameterized tests, each test case is initialized with
kunit_init_test(). This function takes the test_case->log as a parameter
but it clears it via string_stream_clear() on each iteration.
This results in only the log from the last parameter being preserved in
the test_case->log and the results from the previous parameters are lost
from the debugfs entry.
Fix this by manually setting the param_test.log to the test_case->log
after it has been initialized. This prevents kunit_init_test() from
clearing the log on each iteration.

The previous implementation incorrectly assumed the original type of
'priv' was void**, leading to an unnecessary and misleading
cast. Correct the cast of the 'priv' pointer in test_dev_action() to
its actual type, long*, removing an unnecessary cast.
As an additional benefit, this fixes an out-of-bounds CHERI fault on
hardware with architectural capabilities. The original implementation
tried to store a capability-sized pointer using the priv
pointer. However, the priv pointer's capability only granted access to
the memory region of its original long type, leading to a bounds
violation since the size of a long is smaller than the size of a
capability. This change ensures that the pointer usage respects the
capabilities' bounds.
