Commit 839195352d82 ("mm/shuffle: remove dynamic reconfiguration")
removed the dynamic reconfiguration capabilities from the shuffle page
allocator. This means that, now, we don't have any perspective of an
"autodetection of memory-side-cache" that triggers the enablement of the
shuffle page allocator.
Therefore, let the documentation reflect that the only way to enable
the shuffle page allocator is by setting `page_alloc.shuffle=1`.

sched_core_share_pid() copies the cookie to userspace with
put_user(id, (u64 __user *)uaddr), expecting 64 bits of space.
The "unsigned long" datatype that is documented in core-scheduling.rst
however is only 32 bits large on 32 bit architectures.
Document "unsigned long long" as the correct data type that is always
64bits large.
This matches what the selftest cs_prctl_test.c has been doing all along.

Quoting of the '"no regressions" rule' expression differs between
occurrences, sometimes being presented as '"no regressions rule"'. Unify
the quoting using the first form which seems semantically correct or is
at least used dominantly, albeit marginally.
One of the occurrences is obviously missing the 'rule' part -- add it.

Fedora and openSUSE has started deploying "variable font" [1] format
Noto CJK fonts [2, 3]. "CJK" here stands for "Chinese, Japanese,
and Korean".
Unfortunately, XeTeX/XeLaTeX doesn't understand those fonts for
historical reasons and builds of translations.pdf end up in errors
if such fonts are present on the build host.
To help developers work around the issue, add a script to check the
presence of "variable font" Noto CJK fonts and to emit suggestions.
The script is invoked in the error path of "make pdfdocs" so that the
suggestions are made only when a PDF build actually fails.
The first suggestion is to denylist those "variable font" files by
activating a per-user and command-local fontconfig setting.
For further info and backgrounds, please refer to the header comment
of scripts/check-variable-font.sh newly added in this commit.

There are bunch of codes in driver like
if (dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)))
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
Actually it is wrong because if dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) fails,
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) will fail for the same reason.
And dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) never returns failure.
According to the definition of dma_set_mask(), it indicates the width of
address that device DMA can access. If it can access 64-bit address, it
must access 32-bit address inherently. So only need set biggest address
width.
See below code fragment:
dma_set_mask(mask)
{
mask = (dma_addr_t)mask;
if (!dev->dma_mask || !dma_supported(dev, mask))
return -EIO;
arch_dma_set_mask(dev, mask);
*dev->dma_mask = mask;
return 0;
}
dma_supported() will call dma_direct_supported or iommux's dma_supported
call back function.
int dma_direct_supported(struct device *dev, u64 mask)
{
u64 min_mask = (max_pfn - 1) << PAGE_SHIFT;
/*
* Because 32-bit DMA masks are so common we expect every architecture
* to be able to satisfy them - either by not supporting more physical
* memory, or by providing a ZONE_DMA32. If neither is the case, the
* architecture needs to use an IOMMU instead of the direct mapping.
*/
if (mask >= DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
return 1;
...
}
The iommux's dma_supported() actually means iommu requires devices's
minimized dma capability.
An example:
static int sba_dma_supported( struct device *dev, u64 mask)()
{
...
* check if mask is >= than the current max IO Virt Address
* The max IO Virt address will *always* < 30 bits.
*/
return((int)(mask >= (ioc->ibase - 1 +
(ioc->pdir_size / sizeof(u64) * IOVP_SIZE) )));
...
}
1 means supported. 0 means unsupported.
Correct document to make it more clear and provide correct sample code.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on
5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to
non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot.
- Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with
memory encryption enabled.
- Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset
to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent
comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the
result prevents updating the MSR.
- Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration
to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology
code.
- Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a
fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology
functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver
code at all.
- Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs
are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error
code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID
enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration.
- Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the
copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to
boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot
crashes.
- Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no
guarantee that the address can be safely accessed.
- Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another
kmemleak false positive
- Remove the buggy code which tries to update the E820 kexec table for
setup_data as that is never passed to the kexec kernel.

Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.
So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
native mode.

Normally, the EFI stub calls into the EFI boot services using the stack
that was live when the stub was entered. According to the UEFI spec,
this stack needs to be at least 128k in size - this might seem large but
all asynchronous processing and event handling in EFI runs from the same
stack and so quite a lot of space may be used in practice.
In mixed mode, the situation is a bit different: the bootloader calls
the 32-bit EFI stub entry point, which calls the decompressor's 32-bit
entry point, where the boot stack is set up, using a fixed allocation
of 16k. This stack is still in use when the EFI stub is started in
64-bit mode, and so all calls back into the EFI firmware will be using
the decompressor's limited boot stack.
Due to the placement of the boot stack right after the boot heap, any
stack overruns have gone unnoticed. However, commit
5c4feadb0011983b ("x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code")
moved the definition of the boot heap into C code, and now the boot
stack is placed right at the base of BSS, where any overruns will
corrupt the end of the .data section.
While it would be possible to work around this by increasing the size of
the boot stack, doing so would affect all x86 systems, and mixed mode
systems are a tiny (and shrinking) fraction of the x86 installed base.
So instead, record the firmware stack pointer value when entering from
the 32-bit firmware, and switch to this stack every time a EFI boot
service call is made.

Commit 63bed9660420 ("x86/startup_64: Defer assignment of 5-level paging
global variables") moved assignment of 5-level global variables to later
in the boot in order to avoid having to use RIP relative addressing in
order to set them. However, when running with 5-level paging and SME
active (mem_encrypt=on), the variables are needed as part of the page
table setup needed to encrypt the kernel (using pgd_none(), p4d_offset(),
etc.). Since the variables haven't been set, the page table manipulation
is done as if 4-level paging is active, causing the system to crash on
boot.
While only a subset of the assignments that were moved need to be set
early, move all of the assignments back into check_la57_support() so that
these assignments aren't spread between two locations. Instead of just
reverting the fix, this uses the new RIP_REL_REF() macro when assigning
the variables.

When running with 5-level page tables, the kernel mapping PGD entry is
updated to point to the P4D table. The assignment uses _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC,
which, when SME is active (mem_encrypt=on), results in a page table
entry without the encryption mask set, causing the system to crash on
boot.
Change the assignment to use _PAGE_TABLE instead of _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC so
that the encryption mask is set for the PGD entry.

Commit 672365477ae8 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and
commit 8bf26758ca96 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a
per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in
order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.
On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which
wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not
reset, which brings them out of sync.
As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update
the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel
space, which crashes the kernel.
To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together
with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two regression fixes for the timer and timer migration code:
- Prevent endless timer requeuing which is caused by two CPUs racing
out of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore
has to ensure to expire the pending global timers and some other
CPU come out of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the
race and expires the global queue. This causes the last CPU to
chase ghost timers forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device
endlessly.
Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally.
- The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel
caused a regression for NOHZ full as it broke the idle tracking of
global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent
which in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being
expired on time.
Restore the idle tracking for the global timer base so that the
self IPI condition for NOHZ full is working correctly again"

Pull core entry fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix for the generic entry code:
The trace_sys_enter() tracepoint can modify the syscall number via
kprobes or BPF in pt_regs, but that requires that the syscall number
is re-evaluted from pt_regs after the tracepoint.
A seccomp fix in that area removed the re-evaluation so the change
does not take effect as the code just uses the locally cached number.
Restore the original behaviour by re-evaluating the syscall number
after the tracepoint"

The APIC address is registered twice. First during the early detection and
afterwards when actually scanning the table for APIC IDs. The APIC and
topology core warn about the second attempt.

If there is no local APIC enumerated and registered then the topology
bitmaps are empty. Therefore, topology_init_possible_cpus() will die with
a division by zero exception.
Prevent this by registering a fake APIC id to populate the topology
bitmap. This also allows to use all topology query interfaces
unconditionally. It does not affect the actual APIC code because either
the local APIC address was not registered or no local APIC could be
detected.

The local APICs have not yet been enumerated so the logical ID evaluation
from the topology bitmaps does not work and would return an error code.

it on the final run.

The boot sequence evaluates CPUID information twice:
1) During early boot
2) When finalizing the early setup right before
mitigations are selected and alternatives are patched.
In both cases the evaluation is stored in boot_cpu_data, but on UP the
copying of boot_cpu_data to the per CPU info of the boot CPU happens
between #1 and #2. So any update which happens in #2 is never propagated to
the per CPU info instance.
Consolidate the whole logic and copy boot_cpu_data right before applying
alternatives as that's the point where boot_cpu_data is in it's final
state and not supposed to change anymore.
This also removes the voodoo mb() from smp_prepare_cpus_common() which
had absolutely no purpose.

The norm should be flexible array structures with __counted_by
annotations, so DEFINE_FLEX() is updated to expect that. Rename
the non-annotated version to DEFINE_RAW_FLEX(), and update the
few existing users. Additionally add selftests for the macros.

Pull more SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"The vfs has long had a write lifetime hint mechanism that gives the
expected longevity on storage of the data being written. f2fs was the
original consumer of this and used the hint for flash data placement
(mostly to avoid write amplification by placing objects with similar
lifetimes in the same erase block).
More recently the SCSI based UFS (Universal Flash Storage) drivers
have wanted to take advantage of this as well, for the same reasons as
f2fs, necessitating plumbing the write hints through the block layer
and then adding it to the SCSI core.
The vfs write_hints already taken plumbs this as far as block and this
completes the SCSI core enabling based on a recently agreed reuse of
the old write command group number. The additions to the scsi_debug
driver are for emulating this property so we can run tests on it in
the absence of an actual UFS device"
