Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"Several core optimizations:
- threadgroup_rwsem write locking is skipped when configuring
controllers in empty subtrees.
Combined with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, this allows the common static
usage pattern to not grab threadgroup_rwsem at all (glibc still
doesn't seem ready for CLONE_INTO_CGROUP unfortunately).
- threadgroup_rwsem used to be put into non-percpu mode by default
due to latency concerns in specific use cases. There's no reason
for everyone else to pay for it. Make the behavior optional.
- psi no longer allocates memory when disabled.

Pull KUnit updates from Shuah Khan:
"This consists of several fixes and an important feature to discourage
running KUnit tests on production systems. Running tests on a
production system could leave the system in a bad state.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes
- Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms
- Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
account for both normal and expedited grace periods
- Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
system with 15,000 tasks.
The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead
- Torture-test updates
- Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
context independently of RCU.
This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"Though there's been a decent amount of RNG-related development during
this last cycle, not all of it is coming through this tree, as this
cycle saw a shift toward tackling early boot time seeding issues,
which took place in other trees as well.
Here's a summary of the various patches:
- The CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM .config option and the "nordrand" boot
option have been removed, as they overlapped with the more widely
supported and more sensible options, CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and
"random.trust_cpu". This change allowed simplifying a bit of arch
code.
- x86's RDRAND boot time test has been made a bit more robust, with
RDRAND disabled if it's clearly producing bogus results. This would
be a tip.git commit, technically, but I took it through random.git
to avoid a large merge conflict.
- The RNG has long since mixed in a timestamp very early in boot, on
the premise that a computer that does the same things, but does so
starting at different points in wall time, could be made to still
produce a different RNG state. Unfortunately, the clock isn't set
early in boot on all systems, so now we mix in that timestamp when
the time is actually set.
- User Mode Linux now uses the host OS's getrandom() syscall to
generate a bootloader RNG seed and later on treats getrandom() as
the platform's RDRAND-like faculty.
- The arch_get_random_{seed_,}_long() family of functions is now
arch_get_random_{seed_,}_longs(), which enables certain platforms,
such as s390, to exploit considerable performance advantages from
requesting multiple CPU random numbers at once, while at the same
time compiling down to the same code as before on platforms like
x86.
- A small cleanup changing a cmpxchg() into a try_cmpxchg(), from
Uros.
- A comment spelling fix"

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Refactor DM core's mempool allocation so that it clearer by not being
split acorss files.
- Improve DM core's BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE and BLK_STS_AGAIN handling.
- Optimize DM core's more common bio splitting by eliminating the use
of bio cloning with bio_split+bio_chain. Shift that cloning cost to
the relatively unlikely dm_io requeue case that only occurs during
error handling. Introduces dm_io_rewind() that will clone a bio that
reflects the subset of the original bio that must be requeued.
- Remove DM core's dm_table_get_num_targets() wrapper and audit all
dm_table_get_target() callers.
- Fix potential for OOM with DM writecache target by setting a default
MAX_WRITEBACK_JOBS (set to 256MiB or 1/16 of total system memory,
whichever is smaller).
- Fix DM writecache target's stats that are reported through
DM-specific table info.
- Fix use-after-free crash in dm_sm_register_threshold_callback().
- Refine DM core's Persistent Reservation handling in preparation for
broader work Mike Christie is doing to add compatibility with
Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster.
- Fix various KASAN reported bugs in the DM raid target.

that recurses to block core without properly initializing the bio's
bi_dev.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Highlights include a major rework of our kPTI page-table rewriting
code (which makes it both more maintainable and considerably faster in
the cases where it is required) as well as significant changes to our
early boot code to reduce the need for data cache maintenance and
greatly simplify the KASLR relocation dance.
Summary:
- Remove unused generic cpuidle support (replaced by PSCI version)
- Fix documentation describing the kernel virtual address space
- Handling of some new CPU errata in Arm implementations
- Rework of our exception table code in preparation for handling
machine checks (i.e. RAS errors) more gracefully
- Switch over to the generic implementation of ioremap()
- Fix lockdep tracking in NMI context
- Instrument our memory barrier macros for KCSAN
- Rework of the kPTI G->nG page-table repainting so that the MMU
remains enabled and the boot time is no longer slowed to a crawl
for systems which require the late remapping
- Enable support for direct swapping of 2MiB transparent huge-pages
on systems without MTE
- Fix handling of MTE tags with allocating new pages with HW KASAN
- Expose the SMIDR register to userspace via sysfs
- Continued rework of the stack unwinder, particularly improving the
behaviour under KASAN
- More repainting of our system register definitions to match the
architectural terminology
- Improvements to the layout of the vDSO objects
- Support for allocating additional bits of HWCAP2 and exposing
FEAT_EBF16 to userspace on CPUs that support it
- Considerable rework and optimisation of our early boot code to
reduce the need for cache maintenance and avoid jumping in and out
of the kernel when handling relocation under KASLR
- Support for disabling SVE and SME support on the kernel
command-line
- Support for the Hisilicon HNS3 PMU
- Miscellanous cleanups, trivial updates and minor fixes"

30312730bd02 ("cgroup: Add "no" prefixed mount options") added "no" prefixed
mount options to allow turning them off and 6a010a49b63a ("cgroup: Make
!percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional") added one more "no" prefixed
mount option. However, Michal pointed out that the "no" prefixed options
aren't necessary in allowing mount options to be turned off:
# grep group /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
# mount -o remount,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot none /sys/fs/cgroup
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
Note that this is different from the remount behavior when the mount(1) is
invoked without the device argument - "none":
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
# mount -o remount,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot /sys/fs/cgroup
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
While a bit confusing, given that there is a way to turn off the options,
there's no reason to have the explicit "no" prefixed options. Let's remove
them.

3942a9bd7b58 ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.
This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.
Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
"This contains a pair of commits that fix 282d8998e997 ("srcu: Prevent
expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU"), which was
itself a fix to an SRCU expedited grace-period problem that could
prevent kernel live patching (KLP) from completing.
That SRCU fix for KLP introduced large (as in minutes) boot-time
delays to embedded Linux kernels running on qemu/KVM. These delays
were due to the emulation of certain MMIO operations controlling
memory layout, which were emulated with one expedited grace period per
access. Common configurations required thousands of boot-time MMIO
accesses, and thus thousands of boot-time expedited SRCU grace
periods.
In these configurations, the occasional sleeps that allowed KLP to
proceed caused excessive boot delays. These commits preserve enough
sleeps to permit KLP to proceed, but few enough that the virtual
embedded kernels still boot reasonably quickly.
This represents a regression introduced in the v5.19 merge window, and
the bug is causing significant inconvenience"

Systems built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y but booted without either
the rcu_nocbs= or rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters will not have
callback offloading on any of the CPUs, nor can any of the CPUs be
switched to enable callback offloading at runtime. Although this is
intentional, it would be nice to have a way to offload all the CPUs
without having to make random bootloaders specify either the rcu_nocbs=
or the rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters.
This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL
Kconfig option that switches the default so as to offload callback
processing on all of the CPUs. This default can still be overridden
using the rcu_nocbs= and rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters.

The purpose of commit 282d8998e997 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs
and blocking readers from consuming CPU") was to prevent a long
series of never-blocking expedited SRCU grace periods from blocking
kernel-live-patching (KLP) progress. Although it was successful, it also
resulted in excessive boot times on certain embedded workloads running
under qemu with the "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" command line. Here "excessive"
means increasing the boot time up into the three-to-four minute range.
This increase in boot time was due to the more than 6000 back-to-back
invocations of synchronize_rcu_expedited() within the KVM host OS, which
in turn resulted from qemu's emulation of a long series of MMIO accesses.
Commit 640a7d37c3f4 ("srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace
periods") did not significantly help this particular use case.
Zhangfei Gao and Shameerali Kolothum Thodi did experiments varying the
value of SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE with HZ=250 and with various values
of non-sleeping per phase counts on a system with preemption enabled,
and observed the following boot times:
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE | Boot time (s) |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| 100 | 30.053 |
| 150 | 25.151 |
| 200 | 20.704 |
| 250 | 15.748 |
| 500 | 11.401 |
| 1000 | 11.443 |
| 10000 | 11.258 |
| 1000000 | 11.154 |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
Analysis on the experiment results show additional improvements with
CPU-bound delays approaching one jiffy in duration. This improvement was
also seen when number of per-phase iterations were scaled to one jiffy.
This commit therefore scales per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping
polls so that non-sleeping polls extend for about one jiffy. In addition,
the delay-calculation call to srcu_get_delay() in srcu_gp_end() is
replaced with a simple check for an expedited grace period. This change
schedules callback invocation immediately after expedited grace periods
complete, which results in greatly improved boot times. Testing done
by Marc and Zhangfei confirms that this change recovers most of the
performance degradation in boottime; for CONFIG_HZ_250 configuration,
specifically, boot times improve from 3m50s to 41s on Marc's setup;
and from 2m40s to ~9.7s on Zhangfei's setup.
In addition to the changes to default per phase delays, this
change adds 3 new kernel parameters - srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay,
srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay_phase, and srcutree.srcu_retry_check_delay.
This allows users to configure the srcu grace period scanning delays in
order to more quickly react to additional use cases.

The decision of whether or not to trust RDRAND is controlled by the
"random.trust_cpu" boot time parameter or the CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU
compile time default. The "nordrand" flag was added during the early
days of RDRAND, when there were worries that merely using its values
could compromise the RNG. However, these days, RDRAND values are not
used directly but always go through the RNG's hash function, making
"nordrand" no longer useful.
Rather, the correct switch is "random.trust_cpu", which not only handles
the relevant trust issue directly, but also is general to multiple CPU
types, not just x86.
However, x86 RDRAND does have a history of being occasionally
problematic. Prior, when the kernel would notice something strange, it'd
warn in dmesg and suggest enabling "nordrand". We can improve on that by
making the test a little bit better and then taking the step of
automatically disabling RDRAND if we detect it's problematic.
Also disable RDSEED if the RDRAND test fails.

The statement that the Latex version of Linux Device List is unmaintained,

document sources, one in a txt format and another in a tex format (maybe
even just on lanana.org).
Nowadays, html and tex are generated from the ReST document file and the
statement might be confused, believing the actual generated LaTeX document
from the maintained ReST document could be an unmaintained one.

Most in-kernel tests (such as KUnit tests) are not supposed to run on
production systems: they may do deliberately illegal things to trigger
errors, and have security implications (for example, KUnit assertions
will often deliberately leak kernel addresses).
Add a new taint type, TAINT_TEST to signal that a test has been run.
This will be printed as 'N' (originally for kuNit, as every other
sensible letter was taken.)
This should discourage people from running these tests on production
systems, and to make it easier to tell if tests have been run
accidentally (by loading the wrong configuration, etc.)

In order to be able to completely disable SVE even if the HW
seems to support it (most likely because the FW is broken),
move the SVE setup into the EL2 finalisation block, and
use a new idreg override to deal with it.
Note that we also nuke id_aa64zfr0_el1 as a byproduct, and
that SME also gets disabled, due to the dependency between the
two features.

jmp2ret mitigates the easy-to-attack case at relatively low overhead.
It mitigates the long speculation windows after a mispredicted RET, but
it does not mitigate the short speculation window from arbitrary
instruction boundaries.
On Zen2, there is a chicken bit which needs setting, which mitigates
"arbitrary instruction boundaries" down to just "basic block boundaries".
But there is no fix for the short speculation window on basic block
boundaries, other than to flush the entire BTB to evict all attacker
predictions.
On the spectrum of "fast & blurry" -> "safe", there is (on top of STIBP
or no-SMT):
1) Nothing System wide open
2) jmp2ret May stop a script kiddy
3) jmp2ret+chickenbit Raises the bar rather further
4) IBPB Only thing which can count as "safe".
Tentative numbers put IBPB-on-entry at a 2.5x hit on Zen2, and a 10x hit
on Zen1 according to lmbench.

Add the "retbleed=<value>" boot parameter to select a mitigation for
RETBleed. Possible values are "off", "auto" and "unret"
(JMP2RET mitigation). The default value is "auto".
Currently, "retbleed=auto" will select the unret mitigation on
AMD and Hygon and no mitigation on Intel (JMP2RET is not effective on
Intel).

Add support for Eager Page Splitting pages that are mapped by nested
MMUs. Walk through the rmap first splitting all 1GiB pages to 2MiB
pages, and then splitting all 2MiB pages to 4KiB pages.
Note, Eager Page Splitting is limited to nested MMUs as a policy rather
than due to any technical reason (the sp->role.guest_mode check could
just be deleted and Eager Page Splitting would work correctly for all
shadow MMU pages). There is really no reason to support Eager Page
Splitting for tdp_mmu=N, since such support will eventually be phased
out, and there is no current use case supporting Eager Page Splitting on
hosts where TDP is either disabled or unavailable in hardware.
Furthermore, future improvements to nested MMU scalability may diverge
the code from the legacy shadow paging implementation. These
improvements will be simpler to make if Eager Page Splitting does not
have to worry about legacy shadow paging.
Splitting huge pages mapped by nested MMUs requires dealing with some
extra complexity beyond that of the TDP MMU:
(1) The shadow MMU has a limit on the number of shadow pages that are
allowed to be allocated. So, as a policy, Eager Page Splitting
refuses to split if there are KVM_MIN_FREE_MMU_PAGES or fewer
pages available.
(2) Splitting a huge page may end up re-using an existing lower level
shadow page tables. This is unlike the TDP MMU which always allocates
new shadow page tables when splitting.
(3) When installing the lower level SPTEs, they must be added to the
rmap which may require allocating additional pte_list_desc structs.
Case (2) is especially interesting since it may require a TLB flush,
unlike the TDP MMU which can fully split huge pages without any TLB
flushes. Specifically, an existing lower level page table may point to
even lower level page tables that are not fully populated, effectively
unmapping a portion of the huge page, which requires a flush. As of
this commit, a flush is always done always after dropping the huge page
and before installing the lower level page table.
This TLB flush could instead be delayed until the MMU lock is about to be
dropped, which would batch flushes for multiple splits. However these
flushes should be rare in practice (a huge page must be aliased in
multiple SPTEs and have been split for NX Huge Pages in only some of
them). Flushing immediately is simpler to plumb and also reduces the
chances of tripping over a CPU bug (e.g. see iTLB multihit).
[ This commit is based off of the original implementation of Eager Page
Splitting from Peter in Google's kernel from 2016. ]
