Pull arm64 FPSIMD on-stack buffer updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is a core arm64 change. However, I was asked to take this because
most uses of kernel-mode FPSIMD are in crypto or CRC code.
In v6.8, the size of task_struct on arm64 increased by 528 bytes due
to the new 'kernel_fpsimd_state' field. This field was added to allow
kernel-mode FPSIMD code to be preempted.
Unfortunately, 528 bytes is kind of a lot for task_struct. This
regression in the task_struct size was noticed and reported.
Recover that space by making this state be allocated on the stack at
the beginning of each kernel-mode FPSIMD section.
To make it easier for all the users of kernel-mode FPSIMD to do that
correctly, introduce and use a 'scoped_ksimd' abstraction"

Pull AES-GCM optimizations from Eric Biggers:
"More optimizations and cleanups for the x86_64 AES-GCM code:
- Add a VAES+AVX2 optimized implementation of AES-GCM. This is very
helpful on CPUs that have VAES but not AVX512, such as AMD Zen 3.
- Make the VAES+AVX512 optimized implementation of AES-GCM handle
large amounts of associated data efficiently.
- Remove the "avx10_256" implementation of AES-GCM. It's superseded
by the VAES+AVX2 optimized implementation.
- Rename the "avx10_512" implementation to "avx512"
Overall, this fills in a gap where AES-GCM wasn't fully optimized on
some recent CPUs. It also drops code that won't be as useful as
initially expected due to AVX10/256 being dropped from the AVX10 spec"

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.19. It includes:
- Add SHA-3 support to lib/crypto/, including support for both the
hash functions and the extendable-output functions. Reimplement the
existing SHA-3 crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by the upcoming support for the ML-DSA
signature algorithm, which needs the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
functions. But even on its own it's a useful cleanup.
This also fixes the longstanding issue where the
architecture-optimized SHA-3 code was disabled by default.
- Add BLAKE2b support to lib/crypto/, and reimplement the existing
BLAKE2b crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by btrfs, which supports BLAKE2b
checksums. With this change, all btrfs checksum algorithms now have
library APIs. btrfs is planned to start just using the library
directly.
This refactor also improves consistency between the BLAKE2b code
and BLAKE2s code. And as usual, it also fixes the issue where the
architecture-optimized BLAKE2b code was disabled by default.
- Add POLYVAL support to lib/crypto/, replacing the existing POLYVAL
support in crypto_shash. Reimplement HCTR2 on top of the library.
This simplifies the code and improves HCTR2 performance. As usual,
it also makes the architecture-optimized code be enabled by
default. The generic implementation of POLYVAL is greatly improved
as well.
- Clean up the BLAKE2s code
- Add FIPS self-tests for SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3"

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"

- 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

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=>kernel/lower=>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 x86 microcode loading updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add microcode staging support on Intel: it moves the sole microcode
blobs loading to a non-critical path so that microcode loading
latencies are kept at minimum. The actual "directing" the hardware to
load microcode is the only step which is done on the critical path.
This scheme is also opportunistic as in: on a failure, the machinery
falls back to normal loading
- Add the capability to the AMD side of the loader to select one of two
per-family/model/stepping patches: one is pre-Entrysign and the other
is post-Entrysign; with the goal to take care of machines which
haven't updated their BIOS yet - something they should absolutely do

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the interrupt core and treewide cleanups:
- Rework of the Per Processor Interrupt (PPI) management on ARM[64]
PPI support was built under the assumption that the systems are
homogenous so that the same CPU local device types are connected to
them. That's unfortunately wishful thinking and created horrible
workarounds.
This rework provides affinity management for PPIs so that they can
be individually configured in the firmware tables and mops up the
related drivers all over the place.
- Prevent CPUSET/isolation changes to arbitrarily affine interrupt
threads to random CPUs, which ignores user or driver settings.
- Plug a harmless race in the interrupt affinity proc interface,
which allows to see a half updated mask
- Adjust the priority of secondary interrupt threads on RT, so that
the combination of primary and secondary thread emulates the
hardware interrupt plus thread scenario. Having them at the same
priority can cause starvation issues in some drivers"

are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

Pull scoped user access updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Scoped user mode access and related changes:
- Implement the missing u64 user access function on ARM when
CONFIG_CPU_SPECTRE=n.
This makes it possible to access a 64bit value in generic code with
[unsafe_]get_user(). All other architectures and ARM variants
provide the relevant accessors already.
- Ensure that ASM GOTO jump label usage in the user mode access
helpers always goes through a local C scope label indirection
inside the helpers.
This is required because compilers are not supporting that a ASM
GOTO target leaves a auto cleanup scope. GCC silently fails to emit
the cleanup invocation and CLANG fails the build.
[ Editor's note: gcc-16 will have fixed the code generation issue
in commit f68fe3ddda4 ("eh: Invoke cleanups/destructors in asm
goto jumps [PR122835]"). But we obviously have to deal with clang
and older versions of gcc, so.. - Linus ]
This provides generic wrapper macros and the conversion of affected
architecture code to use them.
- Scoped user mode access with auto cleanup
Access to user mode memory can be required in hot code paths, but
if it has to be done with user controlled pointers, the access is
shielded with a speculation barrier, so that the CPU cannot
speculate around the address range check. Those speculation
barriers impact performance quite significantly.
This cost can be avoided by "masking" the provided pointer so it is
guaranteed to be in the valid user memory access range and
otherwise to point to a guaranteed unpopulated address space. This
has to be done without branches so it creates an address dependency
for the access, which the CPU cannot speculate ahead.
This results in repeating and error prone programming patterns:
if (can_do_masked_user_access())
from = masked_user_read_access_begin((from));
else if (!user_read_access_begin(from, sizeof(*from)))
return -EFAULT;
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
user_read_access_end();
return 0;
Efault:
user_read_access_end();
return -EFAULT;
which can be replaced with scopes and automatic cleanup:
scoped_user_read_access(from, Efault)
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
return 0;
Efault:
return -EFAULT;
- Convert code which implements the above pattern over to
scope_user.*.access(). This also corrects a couple of imbalanced
masked_*_begin() instances which are harmless on most
architectures, but prevent PowerPC from implementing the masking
optimization.
- Add a missing speculation barrier in copy_from_user_iter()"

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
cumbersome cleanup paths.
FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:
fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
if (fd < 0)
vfio_device_put_registration(device);
return fd;
FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
additional work before publishing:
FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file);
if (fdf.err) {
fput(sync_file->file);
return fdf.err;
}
data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data)))
return -EFAULT;
return fd_publish(fdf);
The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.
I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

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->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

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
permission checks during path lookup and adds the
IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC flag so filesystems like btrfs can avoid
expensive permission work.
- Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.
- Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.
Cleanups:
- Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved
code generation.
- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.
- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.
- Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().
- Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
initrd code.
- Various typo fixes.
Fixes:
- Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path
never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency
sync.
- Use local kmap in watch_queue's post_one_notification().
- Add hint prints in sb_set_blocksize() for LBS dependency on THP"

Owing to Config4.MMUSizeExt and VTLB/FTLB MMU features later MIPSr2+
cores can have more than 64 TLB entries. Therefore allocate an array
for uniquification instead of placing too an small array on the stack.

Consider the following code path:
(1) vmalloc -> (2) set_vm_flush_reset_perms -> (3) set_memory_ro/set_memory_rox
-> .... (4) use the mapping .... -> (5) vfree -> (6) vm_reset_perms
-> (7) set_area_direct_map.
Or, it may happen that we encounter failure at (3) and directly jump to (5).
In both cases, (7) may fail due to linear map split failure. But, we care
about its success *only* for the region which got successfully changed by
(3). Such a region is guaranteed to be pte-mapped.
The TLDR is that (7) will surely succeed for the regions we care about.

The rodata=on security measure requires that any code path which does
vmalloc -> set_memory_ro/set_memory_rox must protect the linear map alias
too. Therefore, if such a call fails, we must abort set_memory_* and caller
must take appropriate action; currently we are suppressing the error, and
there is a real chance of such an error arising post commit a166563e7ec3
("arm64: mm: support large block mapping when rodata=full"). Therefore,
propagate any error to the caller.

This code doesn't run. Since 2008:
4f9c11dd49fb ("x86, 64-bit: adjust mapping of physical pagetables to work with Xen")
the kernel has gained more flexible logging and tracing capabilities;
presumably if anyone wanted to take advantage of this log message they would
have got rid of the "if (0)" so they could use these capabilities.
Since they haven't, just delete it.
