Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.

  The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
  There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
  (similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
  to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
  fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
  preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
  several cleanups/typos.

  Summary:

  Core features:

   - Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
     driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API

  Perf and PMU:

   - Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs

   - Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
     for NVIDIA implementations

   - Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect

   - Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs

   - Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver

   - Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver

  Memory managemennt:

   - Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault

   - Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid

   - Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros

   - Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()

   - Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()

  ACPI and EFI:

   - Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption

   - Remove unused ACPI function

  Miscellaneous:

   - ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems

   - Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor

   - Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__

   - Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test

   - Remove some no longer used macros/functions

   - Various spelling corrections"

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

 - Provide a new interface for dynamic configuration and deconfiguration
   of hotplug memory, allowing with and without memmap_on_memory
   support. This makes the way memory hotplug is handled on s390 much
   more similar to other architectures

 - Remove compat support. There shouldn't be any compat user space
   around anymore, therefore get rid of a lot of code which also doesn't
   need to be tested anymore

 - Add stackprotector support. GCC 16 will get new compiler options,
   which allow to generate code required for kernel stackprotector
   support

 - Merge pai_crypto and pai_ext PMU drivers into a new driver. This
   removes a lot of duplicated code. The new driver is also extendable
   and allows to support new PMUs

 - Add driver override support for AP queues

 - Rework and extend zcrypt and AP trace events to allow for tracing of
   crypto requests

 - Support block sizes larger than 65535 bytes for CCW tape devices

 - Since the rework of the virtual kernel address space the module area
   and the kernel image are within the same 4GB area. This eliminates
   the need of weak per cpu variables. Get rid of
   ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU

Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen:
 "The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
  (LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the
  upper=&gt;kernel/lower=&gt;user address space convention is actually
  recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
  even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
  space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.

  This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
  some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
  vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
  features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).

  There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an
  under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf
  so more feature can be packed in there.

  Summary:

   - Enable Linear Address Space Separation (LASS)

   - Change X86_FEATURE leaf 17 from an AMD leaf to Linux-defined"

Pull pidfd and coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Expose coredump signal via pidfd

     Expose the signal that caused the coredump through the pidfd
     interface. The recent changes to rework coredump handling to rely
     on unix sockets are in the process of being used in systemd. The
     previous systemd coredump container interface requires the coredump
     file descriptor and basic information including the signal number
     to be sent to the container. This means the signal number needs to
     be available before sending the coredump to the container.

   - Add supported_mask field to pidfd

     Add a new supported_mask field to struct pidfd_info that indicates
     which information fields are supported by the running kernel. This
     allows userspace to detect feature availability without relying on
     error codes or kernel version checks.

  Cleanups:

   - Drop struct pidfs_exit_info and prepare to drop exit_info pointer,
     simplifying the internal publication mechanism for exit and
     coredump information retrievable via the pidfd ioctl

   - Use guard() for task_lock in pidfs

   - Reduce wait_pidfd lock scope

   - Add missing PIDFD_INFO_SIZE_VER1 constant

   - Add missing BUILD_BUG_ON() assert on struct pidfd_info

  Fixes:

   - Fix PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP handling

  Selftests:

   - Split out coredump socket tests and common helpers into separate
     files for better organization

   - Fix userspace coredump client detection issues

   - Handle edge-triggered epoll correctly

   - Ignore ENOSPC errors in tests

   - Add debug logging to coredump socket tests, socket protocol tests,

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
  system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
  The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.

  Features:

   - listns() system call

     Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
     through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
     interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
     longstanding limitations:

     Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
     namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
     all processes, which is:
      - Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
      - Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
        process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
        parent references
      - Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
      - No ordering or ownership information
      - No filtering per namespace type

     The listns() system call solves these problems:

       ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
                      size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);

       struct ns_id_req {
             __u32 size;
             __u32 spare;
             __u64 ns_id;
             struct /* listns */ {
                     __u32 ns_type;
                     __u32 spare2;
                     __u64 user_ns_id;
             };
       };

     Features include:
      - Pagination support for large namespace sets
      - Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
      - Filtering by owning user namespace
      - Permission checks respecting namespace isolation

   - Active Reference Counting

     Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
     visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
     cases:
      - The namespace is in use by a task
      - The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
        descriptor or bind-mount)
      - The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
        namespaces

     The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
     done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
     to namespace file handles and listns().

     This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
     internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
     file-&gt;f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
     not be accessible via (1)-(3).

   - Unified Namespace Tree

     Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
      - Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
      - Lookup based solely on inode number
      - Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
      - Simplified rbtree comparison helpers

   Cleanups

    - Header Reorganization:
      - Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
      - Decouple nstree from ns_common header
      - Move nstree types into separate header
      - Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
      - Use guards for ns_tree_lock

   - Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
      - Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
        pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
        away
      - Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
      - Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
      - pid: rely on common reference count behavior

   - Miscellaneous Cleanups
      - Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
      - Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
      - Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
      - Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
      - nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
      - nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
      - pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
      - pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
      - libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
      - cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
      - nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()

  Fixes:

   - setns(pidfd, ...) race condition

     Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
     task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
     namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
     setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
     reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
     the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.

     The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
     succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
     succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.

   - Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success

   - Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
     namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
     reference)

   - Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
     namespace

   - Add asserts for active refcount underflow

   - Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
     and active)

   - ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions

   - Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions

   - Selftests
      - 15 active reference count tests
      - 9 listns() functionality tests
      - 7 listns() permission tests
      - 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
      - 3 threaded active reference count tests
      - commit_creds() active reference tests
      - Pagination and stress tests
      - EFAULT handling test
      - nsid tests fixes"

In test_clidr() if an empty cache level is not found then the TEST_ASSERT
will not fire. Fix this by considering all 7 possible levels when iterating
through the hierarchy. Found by inspection.

<title>KVM: arm64: selftests: Remove ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS and its last user</title>

ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS is set to 4 but not all ID register fields are 4
bits. See for instance ID_AA64SMFR0_EL1. The last user of this define,
ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS, is the set_id_regs selftest. Its logic assumes
the fields aren't a single bits; assert that's the case and stop using the
define. As there are no more users, ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS is removed
from the arm64 tools sysreg.h header. A separate commit removes this from
the kernel version of the header.
