Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner:
"For historical reasons, the inode->i_ino field is an unsigned long,
which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused
a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier
into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field
for an inode.
This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64.
This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but
32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This
could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment.
The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since
the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The
first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out
carefully.
With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For
instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit
inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be
eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to
keep this simple"

Calvin reported an odd NMI watchdog lockup which claims that the CPU locked
up in user space. He provided a reproducer, which sets up a timerfd based
timer and then rearms it in a loop with an absolute expiry time of 1ns.
As the expiry time is in the past, the timer ends up as the first expiring
timer in the per CPU hrtimer base and the clockevent device is programmed
with the minimum delta value. If the machine is fast enough, this ends up
in a endless loop of programming the delta value to the minimum value
defined by the clock event device, before the timer interrupt can fire,
which starves the interrupt and consequently triggers the lockup detector
because the hrtimer callback of the lockup mechanism is never invoked.
As a first step to prevent this, avoid reprogramming the clock event device
when:
- a forced minimum delta event is pending
- the new expiry delta is less then or equal to the minimum delta
Thanks to Calvin for providing the reproducer and to Borislav for testing
and providing data from his Zen5 machine.
The problem is not limited to Zen5, but depending on the underlying
clock event device (e.g. TSC deadline timer on Intel) and the CPU speed
not necessarily observable.
This change serves only as the last resort and further changes will be made
to prevent this scenario earlier in the call chain as far as possible.

John noted that commit 1151354225 ("sched/deadline: Fix 'stuck' dl_server")
unfixed the issue from commit a3a70caf79 ("sched/deadline: Fix dl_server
behaviour").
The issue in commit 1151354225 was for wakeups of the server after the
deadline; in which case you *have* to start a new period. The case for
a3a70caf79 is wakeups before the deadline.
Now, because the server is effectively running a least-laxity policy, it means
that any wakeup during the runnable phase means dl_entity_overflow() will be
true. This means we need to adjust the runtime to allow it to still run until
the existing deadline expires.
Use the revised wakeup rule for dl_defer entities.

Commit 56534673ce ("tick/nohz: Optimize check_tick_dependency() with
early return") added a fast path that returns !val when the tick_stop
tracepoint is disabled.
This is inverted: the slow path returns true when a dependency IS found
(val != 0), but !val returns true when val is zero (no dependency). The
result is that can_stop_full_tick() sees "dependency found" when there are
none, and the tick never stops on nohz_full CPUs.
Fix this by returning !!val instead of !val, matching the slow-path semantics.

Per Linus' comments requesting the replacement of "INDIR_BR_LP" in the
indirect branch tracking prctl()s with something more readable, and
suggesting the use of the speculation control prctl()s as an exemplar,
reimplement the prctl()s and related constants that control per-task
forward-edge control flow integrity.
This primarily involves two changes. First, the prctls are
restructured to resemble the style of the speculative execution
workaround control prctls PR_{GET,SET}_SPECULATION_CTRL, to make them
easier to extend in the future. Second, the "indir_br_lp" abbrevation
is expanded to "branch_landing_pads" to be less telegraphic. The
kselftest and documentation is adjusted accordingly.

sched_ext: Fix is_bpf_migration_disabled() false negative on non-PREEMPT_RCU
@p->scx.ddsp_dsq_id can be left set (non-SCX_DSQ_INVALID) triggering a
spurious warning in mark_direct_dispatch() when the next wakeup's
ops.select_cpu() calls scx_bpf_dsq_insert(), such as:
WARNING: kernel/sched/ext.c:1273 at scx_dsq_insert_commit+0xcd/0x140
The root cause is that ddsp_dsq_id was only cleared in dispatch_enqueue(),
which is not reached in all paths that consume or cancel a direct dispatch
verdict.
Fix it by clearing it at the right places:
- direct_dispatch(): cache the direct dispatch state in local variables
and clear it before dispatch_enqueue() on the synchronous path. For
the deferred path, the direct dispatch state must remain set until
process_ddsp_deferred_locals() consumes them.
- process_ddsp_deferred_locals(): cache the dispatch state in local
variables and clear it before calling dispatch_to_local_dsq(), which
may migrate the task to another rq.
- do_enqueue_task(): clear the dispatch state on the enqueue path
(local/global/bypass fallbacks), where the direct dispatch verdict is
ignored.
- dequeue_task_scx(): clear the dispatch state after dispatch_dequeue()
to handle both the deferred dispatch cancellation and the holding_cpu
race, covering all cases where a pending direct dispatch is
cancelled.
- scx_disable_task(): clear the direct dispatch state when
transitioning a task out of the current scheduler. Waking tasks may
have had the direct dispatch state set by the outgoing scheduler's
ops.select_cpu() and then been queued on a wake_list via
ttwu_queue_wakelist(), when SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP is set. Such
tasks are not on the runqueue and are not iterated by scx_bypass(),
so their direct dispatch state won't be cleared. Without this clear,
any subsequent SCX scheduler that tries to direct dispatch the task
will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in mark_direct_dispatch().

Since commit 8e4f0b1ebc ("bpf: use rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate() for
trampoline.c"), the BPF prolog (__bpf_prog_enter) calls migrate_disable()
only when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is enabled, via rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate().
Without CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU, the prolog never touches migration_disabled,
so migration_disabled == 1 always means the task is truly
migration-disabled regardless of whether it is the current task.
The old unconditional p == current check was a false negative in this
case, potentially allowing a migration-disabled task to be dispatched to
a remote CPU and triggering scx_error in task_can_run_on_remote_rq().
Only apply the p == current disambiguation when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is
enabled, where the ambiguity with the BPF prolog still exists.

When backtrack_insn encounters a BPF_STX instruction with BPF_ATOMIC
and BPF_FETCH, the src register (or r0 for BPF_CMPXCHG) also acts as
a destination, thus receiving the old value from the memory location.
The current backtracking logic does not account for this. It treats
atomic fetch operations the same as regular stores where the src
register is only an input. This leads the backtrack_insn to fail to
propagate precision to the stack location, which is then not marked
as precise!
Later, the verifier's path pruning can incorrectly consider two states
equivalent when they differ in terms of stack state. Meaning, two
branches can be treated as equivalent and thus get pruned when they
should not be seen as such.
Fix it as follows: Extend the BPF_LDX handling in backtrack_insn to
also cover atomic fetch operations via is_atomic_fetch_insn() helper.
When the fetch dst register is being tracked for precision, clear it,
and propagate precision over to the stack slot. For non-stack memory,
the precision walk stops at the atomic instruction, same as regular
BPF_LDX. This covers all fetch variants.

John reported that stress-ng-yield could make his machine unhappy and
managed to bisect it to commit b3d99f43c7 ("sched/fair: Fix
zero_vruntime tracking").
The combination of yield and that commit was specific enough to
hypothesize the following scenario:
Suppose we have 2 runnable tasks, both doing yield. Then one will be
eligible and one will not be, because the average position must be in
between these two entities.
Therefore, the runnable task will be eligible, and be promoted a full
slice (all the tasks do is yield after all). This causes it to jump over
the other task and now the other task is eligible and current is no
longer. So we schedule.
Since we are runnable, there is no {de,en}queue. All we have is the
__{en,de}queue_entity() from {put_prev,set_next}_task(). But per the
fingered commit, those two no longer move zero_vruntime.
All that moves zero_vruntime are tick and full {de,en}queue.
This means, that if the two tasks playing leapfrog can reach the
critical speed to reach the overflow point inside one tick's worth of
time, we're up a creek.
Additionally, when multiple cgroups are involved, there is no guarantee
the tick will in fact hit every cgroup in a timely manner. Statistically
speaking it will, but that same statistics does not rule out the
possibility of one cgroup not getting a tick for a significant amount of
time -- however unlikely.
Therefore, just like with the yield() case, force an update at the end
of every slice. This ensures the update is never more than a single
slice behind and the whole thing is within 2 lag bounds as per the
comment on entity_key().

In unplug_oldest_pwq(), the first inactive work item on the
pool_workqueue is activated correctly. However, if multiple inactive
works exist on the same pool_workqueue, subsequent works fail to
activate because wq_node_nr_active.pending_pwqs is empty — the list
insertion is skipped when the pool_workqueue is plugged.
Fix this by checking for additional inactive works in
unplug_oldest_pwq() and updating wq_node_nr_active.pending_pwqs
accordingly.

Recently, tracepoints were switched from using disabled preemption
(which acts as RCU read section) to SRCU-fast when they are not
faultable. This means that to do a proper grace period wait for programs
running in such tracepoints, we must use SRCU's grace period wait.
This is only for non-faultable tracepoints, faultable ones continue
using RCU Tasks Trace.
However, bpf_link_free() currently does call_rcu() for all cases when
the link is non-sleepable (hence, for tracepoints, non-faultable). Fix
this by doing a call_srcu() grace period wait.
As far RCU Tasks Trace gp -> RCU gp chaining is concerned, it is deemed
unnecessary for tracepoint programs. The link and program are either
accessed under RCU Tasks Trace protection, or SRCU-fast protection now.
The earlier logic of chaining both RCU Tasks Trace and RCU gp waits was
to generalize the logic, even if it conceded an extra RCU gp wait,
however that is unnecessary for tracepoints even before this change.
In practice no cost was paid since rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() was always
true. Hence we need not chaining any RCU gp after the SRCU gp.
For instance, in the non-faultable raw tracepoint, the RCU read section
of the program in __bpf_trace_run() is enclosed in the SRCU gp, likewise
for faultable raw tracepoint, the program is under the RCU Tasks Trace
protection. Hence, the outermost scope can be waited upon to ensure
correctness.
Also, sleepable programs cannot be attached to non-faultable
tracepoints, so whenever program or link is sleepable, only RCU Tasks
Trace protection is being used for the link and prog.

- Fix cpuset v1 task migration failure from empty cpusets under strict

When CPU hotplug removes the last CPU from a v1 cpuset, tasks must be
migrated to an ancestor without a security_task_setscheduler() check
that would block the migration.

cgroup: Wait for dying tasks to leave on rmdir
When a CPU hot removal causes a v1 cpuset to lose all its CPUs, the
cpuset hotplug handler will schedule a work function to migrate tasks
in that cpuset with no CPU to its ancestor to enable those tasks to
continue running.
If a strict security policy is in place, however, the task migration
may fail when security_task_setscheduler() call in cpuset_can_attach()
returns a -EACCES error. That will mean that those tasks will have
no CPU to run on. The system administrators will have to explicitly
intervene to either add CPUs to that cpuset or move the tasks elsewhere
if they are aware of it.
This problem was found by a reported test failure in the LTP's
cpuset_hotplug_test.sh. Fix this problem by treating this special case as
an exception to skip the setsched security check in cpuset_can_attach()
when a v1 cpuset with tasks have no CPU left.
With that patch applied, the cpuset_hotplug_test.sh test can be run
successfully without failure.

Add a Kconfig option to set the default value of the
kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl, allowing the kernel to be built
with panic-on-RCU-stall enabled by default.
This is useful for high-availability systems that require automatic
recovery (via panic_timeout) when a CPU stall is detected, without
needing userspace to configure the sysctl at boot.
This follows the pattern established by BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC
and BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC. The runtime sysctl can still override
the Kconfig default.

The initial draft of this patch was generated by version 2.1.16 of the
Claude AI/LLM, but trained and configured for use by my employer, and
prompted to refer to Linux-kernel source code. This initial draft failed
to provide a forward reference to ref_scale_cleanup(), passed zero to
torture_shutdown_init() for an unwelcome insta-shutdown, and failed to
pass the kvm.sh --duration argument in as a refscale module parameter.
On the other hand, it did catch the need to NULL main_task on the
post-test self-shutdown code path, which I might well have forgotten
to do.

and __em_nl_get_pd_size() immediately dereferences pd->cpus

The sister handler dev_energymodel_nl_get_perf_table_doit() already

SCX_KICK_WAIT busy-waits in kick_cpus_irq_workfn() using
smp_cond_load_acquire() until the target CPU's kick_sync advances. Because
the irq_work runs in hardirq context, the waiting CPU cannot reschedule and
its own kick_sync never advances. If multiple CPUs form a wait cycle, all
CPUs deadlock.
Replace the busy-wait in kick_cpus_irq_workfn() with resched_curr() to
force the CPU through do_pick_task_scx(), which queues a balance callback
to perform the wait. The balance callback drops the rq lock and enables
IRQs following the sched_core_balance() pattern, so the CPU can process
IPIs while waiting. The local CPU's kick_sync is advanced on entry to
do_pick_task_scx() and continuously during the wait, ensuring any CPU that
starts waiting for us sees the advancement and cannot form cyclic
dependencies.

When CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is enabled, the DMA debug infrastructure
tracks active mappings per cacheline and warns if two different DMA
mappings share the same cacheline ("cacheline tracking EEXIST,
overlapping mappings aren't supported").
On x86_64, ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN defaults to 8, so small kmalloc
allocations (e.g. the 8-byte hub->buffer and hub->status in the USB
hub driver) frequently land in the same 64-byte cacheline. When both
are DMA-mapped, this triggers a false positive warning.
This has been reported repeatedly since v5.14 (when the EEXIST check
was added) across various USB host controllers and devices including
xhci_hcd with USB hubs, USB audio devices, and USB ethernet adapters.
The cacheline overlap is only a real concern on architectures that
require DMA buffer alignment to cacheline boundaries (i.e. where
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN >= L1_CACHE_BYTES). On architectures like x86_64
where dma_get_cache_alignment() returns 1, the hardware is
cache-coherent and overlapping cacheline mappings are harmless.
Suppress the EEXIST warning when dma_get_cache_alignment() is less
than L1_CACHE_BYTES, indicating the architecture does not require
cacheline-aligned DMA buffers.
Verified with a kernel module reproducer that performs two kmalloc(8)
allocations back-to-back and DMA-maps both:
Before: allocations share a cacheline, EEXIST fires within ~50 pairs
After: same cacheline pair found, but no warning emitted
