Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Main user visible change:
- User events can now have "multi formats"
The current user events have a single format. If another event is
created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That
is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a
different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an
event and updates its format. An application using the older format
will prevent an application using the new library from registering
its event.
A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event
names, and it creates events with different formats.
The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
format. Both the event name and its format are the unique
identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the
same user event name but with different payloads.
- Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
not just the main top level tracing buffer.
Other changes:
- Add eventfs_root_inode
Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away)
and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands
of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set
in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a
eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root
inode will use this.
- Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs
There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be
hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to
make sure that they are never hit.
- Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid
array
The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to
hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already
apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory
can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as
well.
- Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in
TRACE_EVENT()
Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:
__string(name, source)
And assigned with:
__assign_str(name, source)
In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to
get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and
__assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer.
There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT()
macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in
the ring buffer which is created by __string().
There are several trace events that have a function to create the
string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for
__string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for
this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in
__string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also
already has its length).
By using the structure to store the source string for the
assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is
no longer needed.
It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a
warning if the source string given to __string() is different than
the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to
__assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away.
- Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the
next merge window.
Included fixes that the above check found.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes"

Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For
debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to
check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for
other purposes.
This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific
or multiple trace instances:
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump
- ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer
on all CPUs
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global
trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the
tracing instance matching <instance_name>
- ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu],
<instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace
buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU
that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given
Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

A bunch of minor fixes and improvements and two other things:
- Explain the 'v' version prefix when it's first used, but drop it
everywhere in the text for consistency. Also drop single quotes around
a few version numbers.
- Point out that testing a stable/longterm kernel only makes sense if
the series is still supported.

These changes among others ensure modules will be installed when
/sbin/installkernel is missing. Furthermore describe better what tasks
the script ideally performs so that users can more easily check if those
have been taken care of. In addition to that point to the distro's

Use colon as command terminator everywhere for consistency, even though

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
"The biggest feature is the locking overhaul. Up until now the
synchronization in the GPIO subsystem was broken. There was a single
spinlock "protecting" multiple data structures but doing it wrong (as
evidenced by several places where it would be released when a sleeping
function was called and then reacquired without checking the protected
state).
We tried to use an RW semaphore before but the main issue with GPIO is
that we have drivers implementing the interfaces in both sleeping and
non-sleeping ways as well as user-facing interfaces that can be called
both from process as well as atomic contexts. Both ends converge in
the same code paths that can use neither spinlocks nor mutexes. The
only reasonable way out is to use SRCU and go mostly lockless. To that
end: we add several SRCU structs in relevant places and use them to
assure consistency between API calls together with atomic reads and
writes of GPIO descriptor flags where it makes sense.
This code has spent several weeks in next and has received several
fixes in the first week or two after which it stabilized nicely. The
GPIO subsystem is now resilient to providers being suddenly unbound.
We managed to also remove the existing character device RW semaphore
and the obsolete global spinlock.
Other than the locking rework we have one new driver (for Chromebook
EC), much appreciated documentation improvements from Kent and the
regular driver improvements, DT-bindings updates and GPIOLIB core
tweaks.
Serialization rework:
- use SRCU to serialize access to the global GPIO device list, to
GPIO device structs themselves and to GPIO descriptors
- make the GPIO subsystem resilient to the GPIO providers being
unbound while the API calls are in progress
- don't dereference the SRCU-protected chip pointer if the
information we need can be obtained from the GPIO device structure
- move some of the information contained in struct gpio_chip to
struct gpio_device to further reduce the need to dereference the
former
- pass the GPIO device struct instead of the GPIO chip to sysfs
callback to, again, reduce the need for accessing the latter
- get GPIO descriptors from the GPIO device, not from the chip for
the same reason
- allow for mostly lockless operation of the GPIO driver API: assure
consistency with SRCU and atomic operations
- remove the global GPIO spinlock
- remove the character device RW semaphore
Core GPIOLIB:
- constify pointers in GPIO API where applicable
- unify the GPIO counting APIs for ACPI and OF
- provide a macro for iterating over all GPIOs, not only the ones
that are requested
- remove leftover typedefs
- pass the consumer device to GPIO core in
devm_fwnode_gpiod_get_index() for improved logging
- constify the GPIO bus type
- don't warn about removing GPIO chips with descriptors still held by
users as we can now handle this situation gracefully
- remove unused logging helpers
- unexport functions that are only used internally in the GPIO
subsystem
- set the device type (assign the relevant struct device_type) for
GPIO devices
New drivers:
- add the ChromeOS EC GPIO driver
Driver improvements:
- allow building gpio-vf610 with COMPILE_TEST as well as disabling it
in menuconfig (before it was always built for i.MX cofigs)
- count the number of EICs using the device properties instead of
hard-coding it in gpio-eic-sprd
- improve the device naming, extend the debugfs output and add
lockdep asserts to gpio-sim
DT bindings:
- document the 'label' property for gpio-pca9570
- convert aspeed,ast2400-gpio bindings to DT schema
- disallow unevaluated properties for gpio-mvebu
- document a new model in renesas,rcar-gpio
Documentation:
- improve the character device kerneldocs in user-space headers
- add proper documentation for the character device uAPI (both v1 and v2)
- move the sysfs and gpio-mockup docs into the "obsolete" section
- improve naming consistency for GPIO terms
- clarify the line values description for sysfs
- minor docs improvements
- improve the driver API contract for setting GPIO direction
- mark unsafe APIs as deprecated in kerneldocs and suggest
replacements

- remove an obsolete test from selftests"

Pull device mapper VDO target from Mike Snitzer:
"Introduce the DM vdo target which provides block-level deduplication,
compression, and thin provisioning. Please see:
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/vdo.rst
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/vdo-design.rst
The DM vdo target handles its concurrency by pinning an IO, and
subsequent stages of handling that IO, to a particular VDO thread.
This aspect of VDO is "unique" but its overall implementation is very
tightly coupled to its mostly lockless threading model. As such, VDO
is not easily changed to use more traditional finer-grained locking
and Linux workqueues. Please see the "Zones and Threading" section of
vdo-design.rst
The DM vdo target has been used in production for many years but has
seen significant changes over the past ~6 years to prepare it for
upstream inclusion. The codebase is still large but it is isolated to
drivers/md/dm-vdo/ and has been made considerably more approachable
and maintainable.
Matt Sakai has been added to the MAINTAINERS file to reflect that he
will send VDO changes upstream through the DM subsystem maintainers"

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- Freelist loading optimization (Chengming Zhou)
When the per-cpu slab is depleted and a new one loaded from the cpu
partial list, optimize the loading to avoid an irq enable/disable
cycle. This results in a 3.5% performance improvement on the "perf
bench sched messaging" test.
- Kernel boot parameters cleanup after SLAB removal (Xiongwei Song)
Due to two different main slab implementations we've had boot
parameters prefixed either slab_ and slub_ with some later becoming
an alias as both implementations gained the same functionality (i.e.
slab_nomerge vs slub_nomerge). In order to eventually get rid of the
implementation-specific names, the canonical and documented
parameters are now all prefixed slab_ and the slub_ variants become
deprecated but still working aliases.
- SLAB_ kmem_cache creation flags cleanup (Vlastimil Babka)
The flags had hardcoded #define values which became tedious and
error-prone when adding new ones. Assign the values via an enum that
takes care of providing unique bit numbers. Also deprecate
SLAB_MEM_SPREAD which was only used by SLAB, so it's a no-op since
SLAB removal. Assign it an explicit zero value. The removals of the
flag usage are handled independently in the respective subsystems,
with a final removal of any leftover usage planned for the next
release.
- Misc cleanups and fixes (Chengming Zhou, Xiaolei Wang, Zheng Yejian)
Includes removal of unused code or function parameters and a fix of a
memleak.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter:
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.
BPF:
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.
Wireless:
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API:
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc:
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
state can be cleared.
This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
mitigation"

- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory

compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.

save them to persistent storage across reboots. Previously recorded
errors are "replayed" upon reboot in order to poison memory which has
caused said errors in the past.
The main use case is stacked, on-chip memory which cannot simply be

inaccessible is the only strategy to prolong its lifetime.

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).
FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
in nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
of #NMI code to handle this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
on large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
complexity of preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
per CPU variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
return from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation.
The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
- It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
- The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is
in the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology
evaluation.
- The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and
guest specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in
case of XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
- The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
- There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing
up the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which
needs to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if
that would be possible.
- The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is
incomprehensible and overly complex and needs to be kept around
after boot instead of completing this right after the APIC
enumeration.
This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
- Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors
and provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform
way independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module,
..., Die, Package) so that this information can be computed instead
of rewriting global variables of dubious value over and over.
- A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
- Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries
to find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at
registration time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run
on the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent
sending INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset
the whole machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command
line parameter, which does not even work in nested crash
scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and
prevents the late registration of APICs, which was somehow
tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the
parsers and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV]
handling so it can use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows
for cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout
due to a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the
admission logic further"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping:
- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer
wheel of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry.
This is done to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is
close to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on
a single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead
for dubious value especially under the consideration that the
vast majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or
rearmed before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on
which they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers
and global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they
expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry
time is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU
makes sure to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to
the point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e.
the number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight
has been established by experimention, but can be adjusted if
needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU
to avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether
there are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have
global timers to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the
migrator locks the remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can
require to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point
the CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and
it therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its
own timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in
the hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires
first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which
is e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly
more complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final
series has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon
vendors and ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them
to power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first
time in a mostly idle scenario.
There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific
overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the
rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on
the power management side.
- Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps:
cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware
timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes
address a few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the
math and logic wrong.
- Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to
automatically adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of
having more incomprehensible command line parameters.
- Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place"

RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.
Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.
Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are
significant and invasive.
- During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are
more topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved
workqueue behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, commit
636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu
pool_workqueues") switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU
frontend pool_workqueues as a part of increasing front-back mapping
flexibility.
An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max
concurrency enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of
allowed concurrent executions. I incorrectly assumed that this
wouldn't cause practical problems as most unbound workqueue users
are self-regulate max concurrency; however, there definitely are
which don't (e.g. on IO paths) and the drastic increase in the
allowed max concurrency led to noticeable perf regressions in some
use cases.
This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement
to a separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active
consistently mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the
number of CPUs or (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive
and, in places, a bit clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from
the the inherent requirement to handle the disagreement between the
execution locality domain and max concurrency enforcement domain on
some modern machines.
See commit 5797b1c18919 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide
nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues") for more details.
- BH workqueue support is added.
They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but execute work items in
the softirq context. This is expected to replace tasklet. However,
currently, it's missing the ability to disable and enable work
items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the
next merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the
couple conversion patches that are currently pending.
- Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation
where ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates.
Ordered workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound
workqueues.
- More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in
workqueue isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect
wq_unbound_cpumask. Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on
isolated CPUs.
- Other misc changes"

Add a second document on bisecting regressions explaining the whole
process from beginning to end -- while also describing how to validate
if a problem is still present in mainline. This "two in one" approach
is possible, as checking whenever a bug is in mainline is one of the
first steps before performing a bisection anyway and thus needs to be
described. Due to this approach the text also works quite nicely in
conjunction with Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst, as it
covers all typical cases where users will need to build a kernel in
exactly the same order.
The text targets users that normally run kernels from their Linux
distributor who might never have compiled their own kernel.
This aim is why the first kernel built while following this guide is
generated from the latest mainline codebase. This will rule out that the
regression (a) was fixed already and (b) is caused by config change a
vendor distributor performed; checking mainline will furthermore (c)
determine if the issue is something that needs to be reported to the
regular developers or the stable team (this is needed even when readers
bisect within a stable series).
Only then are readers instructed to build their own variant of the
'good' kernel to validate the trimmed .config file created during early
in the guide, as performing a bisection with a broken one would be a
waste of time. There is a small downside of this order: readers might
have to go back to testing mainline, if it turns out there is a problem
with their .config. But that should be rare -- and if the regression was
already fixed readers might not get to this point anyway. Hence in the
end this order should mean that readers built less kernels overall.
This sequence allows the text to easily cover the "check if a bug is
present in the upstream kernel" case while only making things a tiny bit
more complicated.
The text tries to prevent readers from running into many mistakes users
are known to frequently make. The steps required for this might look
superfluous for people that are already familiar with bisections -- but
anyone with that knowledge should be able to adapt the instructions to
their use-case or will not need this text at all.
Style and structure of the text match the one
Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst uses. Quite a
few paragraphs are even copied from there and not changed at all or only
slightly. This will complicate maintenance, as some future changes to
one of these documents will have to be replicated in the other. But this
is the lesser evil: solutions like "sending readers from one document
over to the other" or "extracting the common parts into a separate
document" might work in other cases, but would be too confusing here
given the topic and the target audience.

to make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable.
Commit 3cd3399dd7a8 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for

"Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number
of changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated, which
would otherwise be cause of false sharing."
sk_prot->memory_allocated points to global atomic variable:
atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB,
changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated can be further reduced.
Performance may be improved on system with many cores.

The EDID firmware loading mechanism introduced a few built-in EDIDs that
could be forced on any connector, bypassing the EDIDs it exposes.
While convenient, this limited set of EDIDs doesn't take into account
the connector type, and we can end up with an EDID that is completely
invalid for a given connector.
For example, the edid/800x600.bin file matches the following EDID:
edid-decode (hex):
00 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 31 d8 00 00 00 00 00 00

So, an analog monitor EDID. However, if the connector was an HDMI
monitor for example, it breaks the HDMI specification that requires,
among other things, a digital display, the VIC 1 mode and an HDMI Forum
Vendor Specific Data Block in an CTA-861 extension.
We thus end up with a completely invalid EDID, which thus might confuse
HDMI-related code that could parse it.
After some discussions on IRC, we identified mainly two ways to fix
this:
- We can either create more EDIDs for each connector type to provide
a built-in EDID that matches the resolution passed in the name, and
still be a sensible EDID for that connector type;
- Or we can just prevent the EDID to be exposed to userspace if it's
built-in.
Or possibly both.
However, the conclusion was that maybe we just don't need the built-in
EDIDs at all and we should just get rid of them. So here we are.
