Pull USB / Thunderbolt updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of USB and Thunderbolt changes for 6.16-rc1.
Included in here are the following:
- USB offload support for audio devices.
I think this takes the record for the most number of patch series
(30+) over the longest period of time (2+ years) to get merged
properly.
Many props go to Wesley Cheng for seeing this effort through, they
took a major out-of-tree hacked-up-monstrosity that was created by
multiple vendors for their specific devices, got it all merged into
a semi-coherent set of changes, and got all of the different major
subsystems to agree on how this should be implemented both with
changes to their code as well as userspace apis, AND wrangled the
hardware companies into agreeing to go forward with this, despite
making them all redo work they had already done in their private
device trees.
This feature offers major power savings on embedded devices where a
USB audio stream can continue to flow while the rest of the system
is sleeping, something that devices running on battery power really
care about. There are still some more small tweaks left to be done
here, and those patches are still out for review and arguing among
the different hardware companies, but this is a major step forward
and a great example of how to do upstream development well.
- small number of thunderbolt fixes and updates, things seem to be
slowing down here (famous last words...)
- xhci refactors and reworking to try to handle some rough corner
cases in some hardware implementations where things don't always
work properly
- typec driver updates
- USB3 power management reworking and updates
- Removal of some old and orphaned UDC gadget drivers that had not
been used in a very long time, dropping over 11 thousand lines from
the tree, always a nice thing, making up for the 12k lines added
for the USB offload feature.
- lots of little updates and fixes in different drivers
All of these have been in linux-next for over 2 weeks, the USB offload
logic has been in there for 8 weeks now, with no reported issues"

As the message of the commit 09e6b306f3ba ("arm64: cpufeature: discover
CPU support for MPAM") already states, if a buggy firmware fails to
either enable MPAM or emulate the trap as if it were disabled, the
kernel will just fail to boot. While upgrading the firmware should be
the best solution, we have some hardware of which the vendor have made
no response 2 months after we requested a firmware update. Allow
overriding it so our devices don't become some e-waste.

On systems with NUMA balancing enabled, it has been found that tracking
task activities resulting from NUMA balancing is beneficial. NUMA
balancing employs two mechanisms for task migration: one is to migrate
a task to an idle CPU within its preferred node, and the other is to
swap tasks located on different nodes when they are on each other's
preferred nodes.
The kernel already provides NUMA page migration statistics in
/sys/fs/cgroup/mytest/memory.stat and /proc/{PID}/sched. However, it
lacks statistics regarding task migration and swapping. Therefore,
relevant counts for task migration and swapping should be added.
The following two new fields:
numa_task_migrated
numa_task_swapped
will be shown in /sys/fs/cgroup/{GROUP}/memory.stat, /proc/{PID}/sched
and /proc/vmstat.
Introducing both per-task and per-memory cgroup (memcg) NUMA balancing
statistics facilitates a rapid evaluation of the performance and
resource utilization of the target workload. For instance, users can
first identify the container with high NUMA balancing activity and then
further pinpoint a specific task within that group, and subsequently
adjust the memory policy for that task. In short, although it is
possible to iterate through /proc/$pid/sched to locate the problematic
task, the introduction of aggregated NUMA balancing activity for tasks
within each memcg can assist users in identifying the task more
efficiently through a divide-and-conquer approach.
As Libo Chen pointed out, the memcg event relies on the text names in
vmstat_text, and /proc/vmstat generates corresponding items based on
vmstat_text. Thus, the relevant task migration and swapping events
introduced in vmstat_text also need to be populated by
count_vm_numa_event(), otherwise these values are zero in /proc/vmstat.
In theory, task migration and swap events are part of the scheduler's
activities. The reason for exposing them through the
memory.stat/vmstat interface is that we already have NUMA balancing
statistics in memory.stat/vmstat, and these events are closely related
to each other. Following Shakeel's suggestion, we describe the
end-to-end flow/story of all these events occurring on a timeline for
future reference:
The goal of NUMA balancing is to co-locate a task and its memory pages
on the same NUMA node. There are two strategies: migrate the pages to
the task's node, or migrate the task to the node where its pages
reside.
Suppose a task p1 is running on Node 0, but its pages are located on
Node 1. NUMA page fault statistics for p1 reveal its "page footprint"
across nodes. If NUMA balancing detects that most of p1's pages are on
Node 1:
1.Page Migration Attempt:
The Numa balance first tries to migrate p1's pages to Node 0.
The numa_page_migrate counter increments.
2.Task Migration Strategies:
After the page migration finishes, Numa balance checks every
1 second to see if p1 can be migrated to Node 1.
Case 2.1: Idle CPU Available
If Node 1 has an idle CPU, p1 is directly scheduled there. This
event is logged as numa_task_migrated.
Case 2.2: No Idle CPU (Task Swap)
If all CPUs on Node1 are busy, direct migration could cause CPU
contention or load imbalance. Instead: The Numa balance selects a
candidate task p2 on Node 1 that prefers Node 0 (e.g., due to its own
page footprint). p1 and p2 are swapped. This cross-node swap is
recorded as numa_task_swapped.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
this.
- "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
and better prepare us for future work.
- "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
block size.
- "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
memory consumption was dramatic.
- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.
- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
at the info about guard regions.
- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.
- "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
enabled for ARM.
- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.
- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.
This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.
Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.
- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.
- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
function.
- "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.
- "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
test_memcontrol selftest.
- "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().
The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.
This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
documents.
- "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

Pull compiler version requirement update from Arnd Bergmann:
"Require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30
x86 already uses gcc-8 as the minimum version, this changes all other
architectures to the same version. gcc-8 is used is Debian 10 and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 8, both of which are still supported, and
binutils 2.30 is the oldest corresponding version on those.
Ubuntu Pro 18.04 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 both use gcc-7 as
the system compiler but additionally include toolchains that remain
supported.
With the new minimum toolchain versions, a number of workarounds for
older versions can be dropped, in particular on x86_64 and arm64.
Importantly, the updated compiler version allows removing two of the
five remaining gcc plugins, as support for sancov and structeak
features is already included in modern compiler versions.
I tried collecting the known changes that are possible based on the
new toolchain version, but expect that more cleanups will be possible.
Since this touches multiple architectures, I merged the patches
through the asm-generic tree."

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter:
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.
- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- cgroup rstat shared the tracking tree across all controllers with the
rationale being that a cgroup which is using one resource is likely
to be using other resources at the same time (ie. if something is
allocating memory, it's probably consuming CPU cycles).
However, this turned out to not scale very well especially with memcg
using rstat for internal operations which made memcg stat read and
flush patterns substantially different from other controllers. JP
Kobryn split the rstat tree per controller.
- cgroup BPF support was hooking into cgroup init/exit paths directly.
Convert them to use a notifier chain instead so that other usages can
be added easily. The two of the patches which implement this are
mislabeled as belonging to sched_ext instead of cgroup. Sorry.

Users of IPE require a way to identify when and why an operation fails,
allowing them to both respond to violations of policy and be notified
of potentially malicious actions on their systems with respect to IPE.
This patch introduces a new error field to the AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD event
to log policy loading failures. Currently, IPE only logs successful policy
loads, but not failures. Tracking failures is crucial to detect malicious
attempts and ensure a complete audit trail for security events.
The new error field will capture the following error codes:
* -ENOKEY: Key used to sign the IPE policy not found in the keyring
* -ESTALE: Attempting to update an IPE policy with an older version
* -EKEYREJECTED: IPE signature verification failed
* -ENOENT: Policy was deleted while updating
* -EEXIST: Same name policy already deployed
* -ERANGE: Policy version number overflow
* -EINVAL: Policy version parsing error
* -EPERM: Insufficient permission
* -ENOMEM: Out of memory (OOM)
* -EBADMSG: Policy is invalid
Here are some examples of the updated audit record types:
AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD(1422):
audit: AUDIT1422 policy_name="Test_Policy" policy_version=0.0.1
policy_digest=sha256:84EFBA8FA71E62AE0A537FAB962F8A2BD1053964C4299DCA
92BFFF4DB82E86D3 auid=1000 ses=3 lsm=ipe res=1 errno=0
The above record shows a new policy has been successfully loaded into
the kernel with the policy name, version, and hash with the errno=0.
AUDIT_IPE_POLICY_LOAD(1422) with error:
audit: AUDIT1422 policy_name=? policy_version=? policy_digest=?
auid=1000 ses=3 lsm=ipe res=0 errno=-74
The above record shows a policy load failure due to an invalid policy
(-EBADMSG).
By adding this error field, we ensure that all policy load attempts,
whether successful or failed, are logged, providing a comprehensive
audit trail for IPE policy management.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Once again, the changes are dominated by cpufreq updates, but this
time the majority of them are cpufreq core changes, mostly related to
the introduction of policy locking guards and __free() usage, and
fixes related to boost handling.
Still, there is also a significant update of the intel_pstate driver
making it register an energy model when running on a hybrid platform
which is used for enabling energy-aware scheduling (EAS) if the driver
operates in the passive mode (and schedutil is used as the cpufreq
governor for all CPUs which is the passive mode default).
There are some amd-pstate driver updates too, for a good measure,
including the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option support and
new online/offline callbacks.
In the cpuidle space, the most significant change is the addition of a
C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to intel_idle which should help some
users to configure their systems more precisely. There is also the
conversion of the PSCI cpuidle driver to a faux device one and there
are two small updates of cpuidle governors.
Device power management is also modified quite a bit, especially the
handling of devices with asynchronous suspend and resume enabled
during system transitions. They are now going to be handled more
asynchronously during suspend transitions and somewhat less
aggressively during resume transitions.
Apart from the above, the operating performance points (OPP) library
is now going to use mutex locking guards and scope-based cleanup
helpers and there is the usual bunch of assorted fixes and code
cleanups.
Specifics:
- Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs() (Yaxiong
Tian)
- Fix typos in energy model documentation and example driver code
(Moon Hee Lee, Atul Kumar Pant)
- Rearrange the energy model management code and add a new function
for adjusting a CPU energy model after adjusting the capacity of
the given CPU to it (Rafael Wysocki)
- Refactor cpufreq_online(), add and use cpufreq policy locking
guards, use __free() in policy reference counting, and clean up
core cpufreq code on top of that (Rafael Wysocki)
- Fix boost handling on CPU suspend/resume and sysfs updates (Viresh
Kumar)
- Fix des_perf clamping with max_perf in amd_pstate_update()
(Dhananjay Ugwekar)
- Add offline, online and suspend callbacks to the amd-pstate driver,
rename and use the existing amd_pstate_epp callbacks in it
(Dhananjay Ugwekar)
- Add support for the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option to
the amd-pstate driver (Dhananjay Ugwekar)
- Reset amd-pstate driver mode after running selftests (Swapnil
Sapkal)
- Avoid shadowing ret in amd_pstate_ut_check_driver() (Nathan
Chancellor)
- Add helper for governor checks to the schedutil cpufreq governor
and move cpufreq-specific EAS checks to cpufreq (Rafael Wysocki)
- Populate the cpu_capacity sysfs entries from the intel_pstate
driver after registering asym capacity support (Ricardo Neri)
- Add support for enabling Energy-aware scheduling (EAS) to the
intel_pstate driver when operating in the passive mode on a hybrid
platform (Rafael Wysocki)
- Drop redundant cpus_read_lock() from store_local_boost() in the
cpufreq core (Seyediman Seyedarab)
- Replace sscanf() with kstrtouint() in the cpufreq code and use a
symbol instead of a raw number in it (Bowen Yu)
- Add support for autonomous CPU performance state selection to the
CPPC cpufreq driver (Lifeng Zheng)

- Add new devm_ functions for enabling runtime PM and runtime PM
reference counting (Bence Csókás)
- Remove size arguments from strscpy() calls in the hibernation core

- Adjust the handling of devices with asynchronous suspend enabled
during system suspend and resume to start resuming them immediately
after resuming their parents and to start suspending such a device
immediately after suspending its first child (Rafael Wysocki)
- Adjust messages printed during tasks freezing to avoid using
pr_cont() (Andrew Sayers, Paul Menzel)
- Clean up unnecessary usage of !! in pm_print_times_init() (Zihuan

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
"We have three new drivers, some refactoring in the GPIO core, lots of
various changes across many drivers, new configfs interface for the
virtual gpio-aggregator module and DT-bindings updates.
The treewide conversion of GPIO drivers to using the new value setter
callbacks is ongoing with another round of GPIO drivers updated. You
will also see these commits coming in from other subsystems as with
the relevant changes merged into mainline last cycle, I've started
converting GPIO providers located elsewhere than drivers/gpio/.
GPIO core:
- use more lock guards where applicable
- refactor GPIO ACPI code and shrink it in the process by 8%
- move GPIO ACPI quirks into a separate file
- remove unneeded #ifdef
- convert GPIO devres helpers to using devm_add_action() where
applicable which shrinks and simplifies the code
- refactor GPIO descriptor validation in GPIO consumer interfaces
- don't allow setting values on input lines in the GPIO core which
will take off the burden from GPIO drivers of checking this down
the line
- provide gpiod_is_equal() as a way of safely comparing two GPIO
descriptors (the only current user is in regulator core)
New drivers:
- add the GPIO module for the max77759 multifunction device
- add the GPIO driver for the VeriSilicon BLZP1600 GPIO controller
- add the GPIO driver for the Spacemit K1 SoC
Driver improvements:
- convert more drivers to using the new GPIO line value setter
callbacks
- convert more drivers to making the irq_chip immutable as is
recommended by the interrupt subsystem
- extend build testing coverage by enabling more modules to be built
with COMPILE_TEST=y
- extend the gpio-aggregator module with a configfs interface that
makes the setup easier for user-space than the existing
driver-level sysfs attributes and also adds more advanced
configuration features (such as referring to aggregated lines by
their original names or modifying their names as exposed by the
aggregated chip)
- add a missing mutex_destroy() in gpio-imx-scu
- add an OF polarity quirk for s5m8767
- allow building gpio-vf610 as a loadable module
- make gpio-mxc not hardcode its GPIO base number with GPIO SYSFS
interface disabled (another small step towards getting rid of the
global GPIO numberspace)
- add support for level-triggered interrupts to gpio-pca953x
- don't double-check the ngpios property in gpio-ds4520 as GPIO core
already does it
- don't double-check the number of GPIOs in gpio-imx-scu as GPIO core
already does it
- remove unused callbacks from gpio-max3191x
DT bindings:
- add device-tree bindings for max77759, spacemit,k1 and blzp1600
(new drivers added this cycle)
- document more properties for gpio-vf610 and gpio-tegra186
- document a new pca95xx variant
- fix style of examples in several GPIO DT-binding documents

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A moderately busy cycle for documentation this time around:
- The most significant change is the replacement of the old
kernel-doc script (a monstrous collection of Perl regexes that
predates the Git era) with a Python reimplementation. That, too, is
a horrifying collection of regexes, but in a much cleaner and more
maintainable structure that integrates far better with the Sphinx
build system.
This change has been in linux-next for the full 6.15 cycle; the
small number of problems that turned up have been addressed,
seemingly to everybody's satisfaction. The Perl kernel-doc script
remains in tree (as scripts/kernel-doc.pl) and can be used with a
command-line option if need be. Unless some reason to keep it
around materializes, it will probably go away in 6.17.
Credit goes to Mauro Carvalho Chehab for doing all this work.

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Boot code changes:
- A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a
better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup
code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.
Motivation & background:
| Since commit
|
| c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
|
| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
| without crashing.
|
| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
| annotations or helpers to access global objects.
This tree includes the first phase of this work-in-progress x86

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Use folios for symlinks in the page cache
FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()
- Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
inode->i_mutex level
- Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations
Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
allow through out sysctl interface
A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
after initialization
To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
recovery completes
To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
pressure control
The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
restart performance degradation
- Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()
- Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()
- Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()
- Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode
- Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
own private superblock
- Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock
- Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior
- Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()
Cleanups:
- Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers
- Try to remove the uselib() system call
- Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll
- Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select
- Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse
- Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir()
- Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages
- Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs
documentation
- Update main netfs API document
- Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()
- Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns()
- Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases
Fixes:
- Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description
- Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc()
- Correct comments of fs_validate_description()
- Mark an unlikely if condition with unlikely() in
vfs_parse_monolithic_sep()
- Delete macro fsparam_u32hex()
- Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table()
- Fix potential unsigned integer underflow in fs_name()
- Make file-nr output the total allocated file handles"

DAMON was initially developed only for data access monitoring, and then
extended for not only access monitoring but also access-aware system
operations (DAMOS). But the documents have old titles and brief
introductions for only the monitoring part. Update the titles and the
brief introductions to explain DAMOS part together.

When there are CPU and memory hot un/plugs, the dm crypt keys may need to
be reloaded again depending on the solution for crash hotplug support.
Currently, there are two solutions. One is to utilizes udev to instruct
user space to reload the kdump kernel image and initrd, elfcorehdr and etc
again. The other is to only update the elfcorehdr segment introduced in
commit 247262756121 ("crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug
support").
For the 1st solution, the dm crypt keys need to be reloaded again. The
user space can write true to /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_key/reuse
so the stored keys can be re-used.
For the 2nd solution, the dm crypt keys don't need to be reloaded.
Currently, only x86 supports the 2nd solution. If the 2nd solution gets
extended to all arches, this patch can be dropped.

A configfs /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys is provided for user
space to make the dm crypt keys persist for the kdump kernel. Take the
case of dumping to a LUKS-encrypted target as an example, here is the life
cycle of the kdump copies of LUKS volume keys,
1. After the 1st kernel loads the initramfs during boot, systemd uses
an user-input passphrase to de-crypt the LUKS volume keys or simply
TPM-sealed volume keys and then save the volume keys to specified
keyring (using the --link-vk-to-keyring API) and the keys will expire
within specified time.
2. A user space tool (kdump initramfs loader like kdump-utils) create
key items inside /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys to inform
the 1st kernel which keys are needed.
3. When the kdump initramfs is loaded by the kexec_file_load
syscall, the 1st kernel will iterate created key items, save the
keys to kdump reserved memory.
4. When the 1st kernel crashes and the kdump initramfs is booted, the
kdump initramfs asks the kdump kernel to create a user key using the
key stored in kdump reserved memory by writing yes to
/sys/kernel/crash_dm_crypt_keys/restore. Then the LUKS encrypted
device is unlocked with libcryptsetup's --volume-key-keyring API.
5. The system gets rebooted to the 1st kernel after dumping vmcore to
the LUKS encrypted device is finished
Eventually the keys have to stay in the kdump reserved memory for the
kdump kernel to unlock encrypted volumes. During this process, some
measures like letting the keys expire within specified time are desirable
to reduce security risk.
This patch assumes,
1) there are 128 LUKS devices at maximum to be unlocked thus
MAX_KEY_NUM=128.
2) a key description won't exceed 128 bytes thus KEY_DESC_MAX_LEN=128.
And here is a demo on how to interact with

Currently, the ->gpwrap is not tested (at all per my testing) due to the
requirement of a large delta between a CPU's rdp->gp_seq and its node's
rnp->gpseq.
This results in no testing of ->gpwrap being set. This patch by default
adds 5 minutes of testing with ->gpwrap forced by lowering the delta
between rdp->gp_seq and rnp->gp_seq to just 8 GPs. All of this is
configurable, including the active time for the setting and a full
testing cycle.
By default, the first 25 minutes of a test will have the _default_
behavior there is right now (ULONG_MAX / 4) delta. Then for 5 minutes,
we switch to a smaller delta causing 1-2 wraps in 5 minutes. I believe
this is reasonable since we at least add a little bit of testing for
usecases where ->gpwrap is set.

On our HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, a HDFS datanode[0] startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including dentries
and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2 million files,
resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries after initialization.
To minimize dentry reclamation, we set vfs_cache_pressure to 1. Despite
this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still trigger
reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the cache from 20
million to approximately 10 million entries. During the subsequent cache
rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart operation incurs substantial
latency penalties until full cache recovery completes.
To maintain service stability, we need to preserve more dentries during
memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100 of total
dentries) remains too aggressive for our workload. This patch introduces
vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache pressure control. The
configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1, vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000]
effectively maintains the full 20 million dentry cache under memory
pressure, preventing datanode restart performance degradation.

The MGLRU already supports reclaiming only from anonymous memory via the
/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen interface. Now, memory.reclaim also supports
the swappiness=max parameter to enable reclaiming solely from anonymous
memory. To unify the semantics of proactive reclaiming from anonymous
folios, the max parameter is introduced.

Patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen", v4.
This patchset adds max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen for
anon only proactive memory reclaim.
With commit <68cd9050d871> ("mm: add swappiness= arg to memory.reclaim")
we can submit an additional swappiness=<val> argument to memory.reclaim.
It is very useful because we can dynamically adjust the reclamation ratio
based on the anonymous folios and file folios of each cgroup. For
example,when swappiness is set to 0, we only reclaim from file folios.
But we can not relciam memory just from anon folios.
This patchset introduces a new macro, SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY, defined as
MAX_SWAPPINESS + 1, represent the max arg semantics. It specifically
indicates that reclamation should occur only from anonymous pages.
Patch 1 adds swappiness=max arg to memory.reclaim suggested-by: Yosry
Ahmed
Patch 2 add more comments for cache_trim_mode from Johannes Weiner in [1].
Patch 3 add max arg to lru_gen for proactive memory reclaim in MGLRU. The
MGLRU already supports reclaiming exclusively from anonymous pages. This
patch formalizes that behavior by introducing a max parameter to represent
the corresponding semantics.
Patch 4 using SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY in MGLRU Using SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY
instead of MAX_SWAPPINESS + 1 to indicate reclaiming only from anonymous
pages makes the code more readable and explicit

This patch (of 4):
With commit <68cd9050d871> ("mm: add swappiness= arg to memory.reclaim")
we can submit an additional swappiness=<val> argument to memory.reclaim.
It is very useful because we can dynamically adjust the reclamation ratio
based on the anonymous folios and file folios of each cgroup. For
example,when swappiness is set to 0, we only reclaim from file folios.
However,we have also encountered a new issue: when swappiness is set to
the MAX_SWAPPINESS, it may still only reclaim file folios.
So, we hope to add a new arg 'swappiness=max' in memory.reclaim where
proactive memory reclaim only reclaims from anonymous folios when
swappiness is set to max. The swappiness semantics from a user
perspective remain unchanged.
For example, something like this:
echo "2M swappiness=max" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim
will perform reclaim on the rootcg with a swappiness setting of 'max' (a
new mode) regardless of the file folios. Users have a more comprehensive
view of the application's memory distribution because there are many
metrics available. For example, if we find that a certain cgroup has a
large number of inactive anon folios, we can reclaim only those and skip
file folios, because with the zram/zswap, the IO tradeoff that
cache_trim_mode or other file first logic is making doesn't hold - file
refaults will cause IO, whereas anon decompression will not.
With this patch, the swappiness argument of memory.reclaim has a new
mode 'max', means reclaiming just from anonymous folios both in traditional
LRU and MGLRU.

Setting the max and high limits can trigger synchronous reclaim and/or
oom-kill if the usage is higher than the given limit. This behavior is
fine for newly created cgroups but it can cause issues for the node
controller while setting limits for existing cgroups.
In our production multi-tenant and overcommitted environment, we are
seeing priority inversion when the node controller dynamically adjusts the
limits of running jobs of different priorities. Based on the system
situation, the node controller may reduce the limits of lower priority
jobs and increase the limits of higher priority jobs. However we are
seeing node controller getting stuck for long period of time while
reclaiming from lower priority jobs while setting their limits and also
spends a lot of its own CPU.
One of the workaround we are trying is to fork a new process which sets
the limit of the lower priority job along with setting an alarm to get
itself killed if it get stuck in the reclaim for lower priority job.
However we are finding it very unreliable and costly. Either we need a
good enough time buffer for the alarm to be delivered after setting limit
and potentialy spend a lot of CPU in the reclaim or be unreliable in
setting the limit for much shorter but cheaper (less reclaim) alarms.
Let's introduce new limit setting option which does not trigger reclaim
and/or oom-kill and let the processes in the target cgroup to trigger
reclaim and/or throttling and/or oom-kill in their next charge request.
This will make the node controller on multi-tenant overcommitted
environment much more reliable.
Explanation from Johannes on side-effects of O_NONBLOCK limit change:
It's usually the allocating tasks inside the group bearing the cost of
limit enforcement and reclaim. This allows a (privileged) updater from
outside the group to keep that cost in there - instead of having to
help, from a context that doesn't necessarily make sense.
I suppose the tradeoff with that - and the reason why this was doing
sync reclaim in the first place - is that, if the group is idle and
not trying to allocate more, it can take indefinitely for the new
limit to actually be met.
It should be okay in most scenarios in practice. As the capacity is
reallocated from group A to B, B will exert pressure on A once it
tries to claim it and thereby shrink it down. If A is idle, that
shouldn't be hard. If A is running, it's likely to fault/allocate
soon-ish and then join the effort.
It does leave a (malicious) corner case where A is just busy-hitting
its memory to interfere with the clawback. This is comparable to
reclaiming memory.low overage from the outside, though, which is an
acceptable risk. Users of O_NONBLOCK just need to be aware.
