Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Remove the "ANNOTATE_NOENDBR on ENDBR" warning: it's not really
   useful and only found a non-bug false positive so far.

 - Properly decode LOOP/LOOPE/LOOPNE, which were missing from the x86
   decoder. Because these instructions are rather ineffective, they
   never showed up in compiler output, but they are simple enough to
   support, so add them for completeness.

 - A bit more cross-arch preparatory work.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb
     heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood
     test from previous fixes.

   - Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO. This
     significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies
     deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO.

   - Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure.

   - Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE().

  BPF:

   - Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator.

   - Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF
     programs.

   - Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -&gt; kernel
     communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF).

   - Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one
     task/thread.

   - Add ability to call selected destructive functions. Expose
     crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump. Use
     CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions.

   - Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently
     by integrating with the rstat framework.

   - Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs. Only
     structs with size &lt;= 16B and x86 are supported.

   - Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping
     sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets).

   - Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network
     related programs.

   - Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags.

   - Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open.

   - Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark.

  Protocols:

   - WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link Operation
     (MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7).

   - vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT.

   - SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT.

   - Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way.
     Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK.

   - IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces.

   - TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST
     packets.

   - TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
     better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
     and cache pressure).

   - MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT.

   - Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior.

   - Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets.

   - Open vSwitch:
      - Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces.
      - Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace.

   - TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm.

   - Remove DECnet support.

  Driver API:

   - Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA
     switches, at runtime.

   - Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.

   - Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting per
     traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.

   - Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
     and link-side speeds.

   - Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.

   - Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
     phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
     Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.

   - Require that flash component name used during update matches one of
     the components for which version is reported by info_get().

   - Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as
     possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good
     idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.

   - Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - Ethernet:
      - Microchip KSZ9896 6-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
      - Renesas Ethernet AVB (EtherAVB-IF) Gen4 SoCs

Pull x86 cpu updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Print the CPU number at segfault time.

   The number printed is not always accurate (preemption is enabled at
   that time) but the print string contains "likely" and after a lot of
   back'n'forth on this, this was the consensus that was reached. See
   thread at [1].

 - After a *lot* of testing and polishing, finally the clear_user()
   improvements to inline REP; STOSB by default

<title>objtool: kmsan: list KMSAN API functions as uaccess-safe</title>

<id>urn:sha1:40b22c9df2c51c6ce459953f57c720b129332fbf</id>
<content type='text'>
KMSAN inserts API function calls in a lot of places (function entries and
exits, local variables, memory accesses), so they may get called from the
uaccess regions as well.

KMSAN API functions are used to update the metadata (shadow/origin pages)
for kernel memory accesses.  The metadata pages for kernel pointers are
also located in the kernel memory, so touching them is not a problem.  For
userspace pointers, no metadata is allocated.

If an API function is supposed to read or modify the metadata, it does so
for kernel pointers and ignores userspace pointers.  If an API function is
supposed to return a pair of metadata pointers for the instrumentation to
use (like all __msan_metadata_ptr_for_TYPE_SIZE() functions do), it
returns the allocated metadata for kernel pointers and special dummy
buffers residing in the kernel memory for userspace pointers.

As a result, none of KMSAN API functions perform userspace accesses, but
since they might be called from UACCESS regions they use
user_access_save/restore().

The __cfi_ preambles contain a mov instruction that embeds the KCFI
type identifier in the following format:

  ; type preamble
  __cfi_function:
    mov &lt;id&gt;, %eax
  function:
    ...

While the preamble symbols are STT_FUNC and contain valid
instructions, they are never executed and always fall through. Skip
the warning for them.

.kcfi_traps sections point to CFI traps in text sections. Also skip
the warning about them referencing !ENDBR instructions.

elf_update_symbol fails to preserve the special st_shndx values
between [SHN_LORESERVE, SHN_HIRESERVE], which results in it
converting SHN_ABS entries into SHN_UNDEF, for example. Explicitly
check for the special indexes and ensure these symbols are not
marked undefined.

x86 will shortly start using -fpatchable-function-entry for purposes
other than ftrace, make sure the __patchable_function_entry section
isn't merged in the mcount_loc section.

When 'discussing' control flow Masami mentioned the LOOP* instructions
and I realized objtool doesn't decode them properly.

As it turns out, these instructions are somewhat inefficient and as
such unlikely to be emitted by the compiler (a few vmlinux.o checks
can't find a single one) so this isn't critical, but still, best to
decode them properly.

Pull misc x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:

 - Fix PAT on Xen, which caused i915 driver failures

 - Fix compat INT 80 entry crash on Xen PV guests

 - Fix 'MMIO Stale Data' mitigation status reporting on older Intel CPUs

 - Fix RSB stuffing regressions

 - Fix ORC unwinding on ftrace trampolines

 - Add Intel Raptor Lake CPU model number

 - Fix (work around) a SEV-SNP bootloader bug providing bogus values in
   boot_params-&gt;cc_blob_address, by ignoring the value on !SEV-SNP
   bootups.

 - Fix SEV-SNP early boot failure

 - Fix the objtool list of noreturn functions and annotate snp_abort(),
   which bug confused objtool on gcc-12.

 - Fix the documentation for retbleed
