15 Sep 2024: KVM revert for Linux 6.11-rc8 (or final) [+ + +]
Do not always honor guest PAT on CPUs that support self-snoop.
This triggers an issue in the bochsdrm driver, which used ioremap()
instead of ioremap_wc() to map the video RAM.  The revert lets video
RAM use the WB memory type instead of the slower UC memory type.

8 Aug 2024: tracing: Updates for 6.11-rc2 [+ + +]

tracing fixes for v6.11:

- Have reading of event format files test if the meta data still exists.
  When an event is freed, a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) in the meta data is
  set to state that it is to prevent any new references to it from happening
  while waiting for existing references to close. When the last reference
  closes, the meta data is freed. But the "format" file was missing a check
  to this flag (along with some other files) that allowed new references to
  happen, and a use-after-free bug to occur.

- Have the trace event meta data use the refcount infrastructure instead
  of relying on its own atomic counters.

- Have tracefs inodes use alloc_inode_sb() for allocation instead of
  using kmem_cache_alloc() directly.

- Have eventfs_create_dir() return an ERR_PTR instead of NULL as
  the callers expect a real object or an ERR_PTR.

- Have release_ei() use call_srcu() and not call_rcu() as all the
  protection is on SRCU and not RCU.

- Fix ftrace_graph_ret_addr() to use the task passed in and not current.

- Fix overflow bug in get_free_elt() where the counter can overflow
  the integer and cause an infinite loop.

- Remove unused function ring_buffer_nr_pages()

- Have tracefs freeing use the inode RCU infrastructure instead of
  creating its own. When the kernel had randomize structure fields
  enabled, the rcu field of the tracefs_inode was overlapping the
  rcu field of the inode structure, and corrupting it. Instead,
  use the destroy_inode() callback to do the initial cleanup of
  the code, and then have free_inode() free it.

Could you consider these extra patches for 6.11-rc1?

Two patches add STATX_DIOALIGN and FS_IOC_GETFSSYSFSPATH support and
another one gets rid of the remaining page->index in the codebase

improvements are actually straight-forward.

The remaining fix addresses a LZ4 decompression race introduced in
v6.10 found by regular stress tests.

All commits have been in -next except for Chao's new reviewed-bys,
so I re-pushed them again.  No potential merge conflict is observed.

25 Jul 2024: AppArmor updates for 6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
I know this is running extremely late so I have only included bug fixes
and a few small cleanups.

In particular the cleanup
   optimization: try to avoid refing the label in apparmor_file_open
is nice to have for scaling on large systems, as it avoids take a ref count when
it isn't necessary. For the file open test resulting in

   kernel test robot noticed a 93.1% improvement of will-it-scale.per_process_ops on:


These patches have all been merge tested against your tree as of
this morning and regression tested against your tree as of yesterday.

kgdb patches for 6.11

Three small changes this cycle:

1. Cleaning up an architecture abstraction that is no longer needed
   because all the architectures have converged.
2. Actually use the prompt argument to kdb_position_cursor() instead of
   ignoring it (functionally this fix is a nop but that was due to luck
   rather than good judgement)

25 Jul 2024: Driver core changes for 6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
***************
This merge request is coming late in the -rc1 cycle on purpose.  I
wanted to make sure that the merge issues and other problems were all
resoved due to some core api changes (platform and bus structures)
happening in this tree.

You will have merge conflicts with your tree when you pull from here in
the following two files:
drivers/fsi/fsi-occ.c
drivers/reset/reset-meson-audio-arb.c
the resolution for them should be "obvious", and has been in linux-next
for a while now.

You will also get build errors for the following two platform drivers:
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.c
drivers/gpu/drm/stm/lvds.c
due to these new files coming in during the merge window and them not
being in my branch.  They too have fixups that have been in linux-next
for a while.

I have all of the above problems resolved in the following branch:
if you want to compare things, OR you can just pull from that point as
well, I can make a signed tag for you there if that makes it simpler.

Sorry for the conflicts,

Driver core changes for 6.11-rc1

Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
which required lots of files to be touched.  Highlights of the changes
in here are:
  - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases to
    get here, finally!)
  - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
    interactions.  It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver
    in rust" type of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the
    phy rust drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on
    which others can start their work.  There is still a long way to go
    here before we have a multitude of rust drivers being added, but
    it's a great first step.
  - driver core const api changes.  This reached across all bus types,
    and there are some fix-ups for some not-common bus types that
    linux-next and 0-day testing shook out.  This work is being done to
    help make the rust bindings more safe, as well as the C code, moving
    toward the end-goal of allowing us to put driver structures into
    read-only memory.  We aren't there yet, but are getting closer.
  - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection
  - arch_topology minor changes
  - other minor driver core cleanups

All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
reported problems.

Rust changes for v6.11

The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.

The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers 3 stable Rust
releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow), plus beta,
plus nightly.

This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.

In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
their CI too.

Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we
will need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
compiler versions should generally work.

In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].

I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help promoting
the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.

[1] https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-project-goals/2024h2/index.html#flagship-goals

Toolchain and infrastructure:

 - Support several Rust toolchain versions.

 - Support several bindgen versions.

 - Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to 'alloc'
   having been dropped last cycle.

 - Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.

'kernel' crate:

 - Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.

 - Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.

 - Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!' macro.

'macros' crate:

 - Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.

 - Improve 'module!' macro documentation.

Documentation:

 - Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
   the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.

 - Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.

 - Explain '#[no_std]'.

And a few other small bits.

 
24 Jul 2024: sysctl constification changes for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. To get
there, the proc_handler arguments must first be const qualified which
requires this (fairly large) treewide PR. Sending it in the tail end of
of the merge window after a suggestion from Kees to avoid unneeded merge
conflicts. It has been rebased on top of 7a3fad30fd8b4b5e370906b3c554f64026f56c2f.
I can send it later if it makes more sense on your side; please tell me
what you prefer.

This PR applies on top of what I see as your latest master, but if you
need to generate it, you can do so by executing two commands:
1. Semantic patch: The coccinelle script is here [1]
  `make coccicheck MODE=patch SPFLAGS="--in-place --include-headers --smpl-spacing" COCCI=COCCI_SCRIPT`
2. Sed command: The sed script is here [2]
  `sed --in-place -f SED_SCRIPT fs/xfs/xfs_sysctl.c kernel/watchdog.c`
This is my first time sending out a semantic patch, so get back to me if
you have issues or prefer some other way of receiving it.

Testing was done in sysctl-testing (0-day) to avoid generating
unnecessary merge conflicts in linux-next. I do not expect any
error/regression given that all changes contained in this PR are
non-functional.

rpmsg updates for v6.11

This corrects interrupt handling in the stm32 remoteproc driver when

It fixes invalid kernel-doc and adds missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in the
rpmsg char driver.

23 Jul 2024: remoteproc updates for v6.11 [+ + +]
remoteproc updates for v6.11

The maximum amount of DDR memory used by the Mediatek MT8188/MT8195 SCP
is increased, to handle new use cases. Handling of optional L1TCM memory
is made actually optional.
An optimization is introduced to only clear the unused portion of IPI
shared buffers, rather than the entire buffer before writing the
message.

Detection for IPC-only mode in the TI K3 DSP remoteproc driver is
corrected. The loglevel of a debug print in the same is lowered from
error.

Support for attaching to an running remote processor is added to the
Xilinx R5F.

An in-kernel implementation of the Qualcomm "protected domain mapper"
(aka service registry) service is introduced, to remove the dependency
on a userspace implementation to detect when the battery monitor and USB
Type-C port manager becomes available. This is then integrated with the
Qualcomm remoteproc driver.

The Qualcomm PAS remoteproc driver gains support for attempting to bust
hwspinlocks held by the remote processor when it crashed/stopped.

The TI OMAP remoteproc driver is transitioned to use devres helpers for
various forms of allocations.

Parsing of memory-regions in the i.MX remoteproc driver is improved to
avoid a NULL pointer dereference if the phandle reference is empty.
of_node reference counting is corrected in the same.

23 Jul 2024: hwspinlock updates for v6.11 [+ + +]
hwspinlock updates for v6.11

This introduces a mechanism in the hardware spinlock framework, and the
Qualcomm TCSR mutex driver, for allowing clients to bust locks held by a

This is a super boring development cycle this time around for modules,
there is only one patch in this pull request. The patch deals with a
corner case set of dependencies which is not resolved today to ensure
users get the modules they need on initramfs. Currently only one modules
is known to exist which needs this, however this can grow to capture
other corner cases likely escaped and not reported before. The kernel
change is just a section update, the real work is done and merged
already on upstream kmod.

This has been on linux-next for 3 weeks now.

23 Jul 2024: printk for 6.11 [+ + +]
please pull the latest printk changes from



Next preparation step for introducing printk kthreads. This part
wires up flushing consoles via con->write_atomic() callback.

The write_atomic() callback can be used for flushing nbcon consoles
in any context. It is needed when the console could not be reliably
flushed using the printk kthread. Namely, it is used:

  - During the early boot, from the legacy loop in console_unlock().
    It allows to see the messages before processes (kthreads) could
    get started.

    Note that it must be used as long as there is a boot console
    registered. The console_lock() serializes accesses to the same
    HW port between the early and normal console driver.

  - In an emergency section, directly from nbcon_cpu_emergency_exit()
    or nbcon_cpu_emergency_flush(). It allows to see the messages
    when the system is in an unexpected state and might not be
    able to continue properly.

    The messages are flushed at the end of the emergency section
    to allow storing the full log (backtrace) first. It helps to
    see it even when other CPUs add messages in parallel. The flush()
    API is used to explicitly flush parts of longer logs which might
    not fit into the buffer or might cause a softlockup.

    The emergency section is used for WARN(), Oops, RCU stall,
    and lockdep reports.

  - In panic(), directly from printk() on the panic-CPU. Note that
    other CPUs are not allowed to add new messages at this point.

There is also a new uart_port_lock() API in serial_core.h. It allows to
take port->lock and also acquire the nbcon console context when
the particular port gets registered as a console.

The port->lock serializes code for non-printing activities, for example,
for writing or setting the port speed. The nbcon context allows to
serialize the access in emergency or panic situations where the classic
spin lock (port->lock) could cause a deadlock. Note that the nbcon
context allows a safe takeover in the middle of a printed message.

IMPORTANT: The changes do not affect the behavior of legacy consoles,
    except for two situations:

  - Legacy consoles are not longer flushed directly from printk()
    in emergency sections. The flush is done on exit from
    the emergency section or by nbcon_cpu_emergency_flush().
    The motivation is the same as for nbcon consoles.

  - Legacy consoles are not longer flushed directly from printk()
    in panic() when crash dump is created and a nbcon console
    is registered. They could create a deadlock in compare with
    nbcon consoles.

ation

[ Same as V1 minus the MSI conversion ]

Updates for the interrupt subsystem:

  - Core:

    - Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains. The existing
      interfaces have already too many parameters and it's a pain to expand
      any of this for new required functionality.

      The new function takes a pointer to a data structure as argument. The
      data structure combines all existing parameters and allows for easy
      extension.

      The first extension for this is to handle the instantiation of
      generic interrupt chips at the core level and to allow drivers to
      provide extra init/exit callbacks.

      This is necessary to do the full interrupt chip initialization before
      the new domain is published, so that concurrent usage sites won't see
      a half initialized interrupt domain. Similar problems exist on
      teardown.

      This has turned out to be a real problem due to the deferred and
      parallel probing which was added in recent years.

      Handling this at the core level allows to remove quite some accrued
      boilerplate code in existing drivers and avoids horrible workarounds
      at the driver level.

    - The usual small improvements all over the place

  - Drivers

    - Add support for LAN966x OIC and RZ/Five SoC

    - Split the STM ExtI driver into a microcontroller and a SMP version to
      allow building the latter as a module for multi-platform kernels.

    - Enable MSI support for Armada 370XP on platforms which do not support
      IPIs.

    - The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place.


Thanks,

tglx

form MSI

Switch ARM/ARM64 over to the modern per device MSI domains:

  This simplifies the handling of platform MSI and wire to MSI controllers
  and removes about 500 lines of legacy code.

  Aside of that it paves the way for ARM/ARM64 to utilize the dynamic
  allocation of PCI/MSI interrupts and to support the upcoming non
  standard IMS (Interrupt Message Store) mechanism on PCIe devices

This has been split out from the original pull request and the two fixlets
from Marc which cure the issues observed by Johan have been added on top.

21 Jul 2024: non-MM updates for 6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
development cycle, thanks.


I'm seeing three conflicts during a test merge.  I'd incorrectly
attributed these to the mm-stble branch but these are actually issues
in this mm-nonmm-stable pull.  Those, along with their linux-next
resolutions are:

include/linux/interrupt.h, vs input tree:

- In the series "treewide: Refactor heap related implementation",
  Kuan-Wei Chiu has significantly reworked the min_heap library code and
  has taught bcachefs to use the new more generic implementation.

- Yury Norov's series "Cleanup cpumask.h inclusion in core headers"
  reworks the cpumask and nodemask headers to make things generally more
  rational.

- Kuan-Wei Chiu has sent along some maintenance work against our sorting
  library code in the series "lib/sort: Optimizations and cleanups".

- More library maintainance work from Christophe Jaillet in the series
  "Remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API".

- Ryusuke Konishi continues with the nilfs2 fixes and clanups in the
  series "nilfs2: eliminate the call to inode_attach_wb()".

- Kuan-Ying Lee has some fixes to the gdb scripts in the series "Fix GDB
  command error".

- Plus the usual shower of singleton patches all over the place.  Please
  see the relevant changelogs for details.

21 Jul 2024: RTC for 6.11 [+ + +]
Here is the RTC subsystem pull request for 6.11. There are mstly small
fixes this cycle. The alarm offset that is getting fixed doesn't affect
many RTCs as most of them have a complete set of datetime registers.

RTC for 6.11

Subsystem:
 - add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro
 - fix offset addition for alarms

Drivers:
 - isl1208: alarm clearing fixes

- 875fa64577da ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN
  walkers") is known to cause a performance regression
  (https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]=
bm.com/T/#mfa809800a7862fb5bdf834c6f71a3a5113eb83ff).
  Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch.

- In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
  Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
  These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

- Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
  reserved inodes" does that.  This should actually be in the
  mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches.  My bad.

- More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
  folio_alloc_mpol()"

- Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
  "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of
  cgroup writeback"

- Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
  faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index".

- In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
  vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
  Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the
  zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings.  I don't see any runtime effects here -
  more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of
  higher addresses, for aarch64.  The (poorly named) series is
  "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

- The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
  optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
  simplify code".

- Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
  fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the
  series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".

- Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
  MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything.  Some landed in this pull.

- In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has
  simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

- Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
  zswap: trivial folio conversions".

- In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
  Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
  swap code.  This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
  objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.

- In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
  calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
  fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.

- In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
  taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP.  By default this
  is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls.  Dramatic
  improvements in pagefault latency are realized.

- David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
  page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
  fs/proc/internal.h".

- David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
  "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

- Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
  "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

- Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
  Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
  and utilize them".

- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
  reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
  common circumstances.  A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.

  It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
  all CPUs are pegged.

- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
  "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".

- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
  thing.

- Is anyone reading this stuff?  If so, email me!

- Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
  Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
  This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
  efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.

- DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
  Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
  function".

- In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
  David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
  modernizing its use of pageframe fields.

- Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
  page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".

- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
  "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
  !ZONE_DEVICE".  It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
  pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

- Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
  __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
  preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
  implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio
  userspace copying.

- The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
  and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
  with other DAMON developers.  From SeongJae Park.

- A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
  that.

- David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
  migration code.  The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
  folio isolation + checks under PTL".

- Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
  the readahead code.  He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
  readahead quirks".

- SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
  {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self
  testing code.

- Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
  code.  The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
  by xarray" addresses this.  The series is marked cc:stable.

- Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
  and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.

- Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
  code motion.  The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
  Kconfigurable) are

  "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config
  option" and
  "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"

- Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
  adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.

- The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
  permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive
  correctable memory errors.  In order to permit userspace to monitor and
  handle this situation.

- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate
  folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from
  poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.

- SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
  does those things.

- In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
  Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization.

- Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
  pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare
  refcount increments.  So these paes can first be moved aside if they
  reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.

- Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps
  for much faster reading of vma information.  The series is "query VMAs
  from /proc/<pid>/maps".

- In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang
  improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to
  multisize THP splitting.

- Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
  without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)".  This permits
  userspace to use all available huge page sizes.

- In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
  injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not
  very useful feature from slab fault injection.

20 Jul 2024: mtd: Changes for 6.11 [+ + +]
This is the MTD PR for 6.11.

Thanks,
Miqu=C3=A8l

MTD changes:

- Nothing stands out for this merge window, mostly minor fixes, such as
  module descriptions, the use of debug macros and Makefile improvements.

Raw NAND changes;

- The Freescale MXC driver has been converted to the newer ->exec_op()
  interface. The meson driver now supports handling the boot ROM area
  with very specific ECC needs. Support for the iMX8QXP has been added
  to the GPMI driver. The lpx32xx driver now can get the DMA channels
  using DT entries. The Qcom binding has been improved to be more future
  proof by Rob. And then there is the usual load of misc and minor
  changes.

SPI-NAND changes:

- The Macronix vendor driver has been improved to support an extended ID
  to avoid conflicting with older devices after an ID reuse issue.

SPI NOR changes:

- Drop support for Xilinx S3AN flashes. These flashes are for the very
  old Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGAs and they need some awkward code in the core
  to support. Drop support for these flashes, along with the special
  handling we needed for them in the core like non-power-of-2 page size
  handling and the .setup() callback.

- Fix regression for old w25q128 flashes without SFDP tables. Commit
  83e824a4a595 ("mtd: spi-nor: Correct flags for Winbond w25q128")
  dropped support for such devices under the assumption that they aren't
  being used anymore. Users have now surfaced [0] so fix the regression
  by supporting both kind of devices.

- Core cleanups including removal of SPI_NOR_NO_FR flag and
  simplification of spi_nor_get_flash_info().

20 Jul 2024: firewire updates for v6.11 [+ + +]

firewire updates for v6.11

There are many line changes for FireWire subsystem, while there is no
functional change for practical use. The most of changes are for code
refactoring, some KUnit tests to added helper functions, and new
tracepoints events for both the core functions and 1394 OHCI driver.

The tracepoints events now cover the verbose logging enabled by debug
parameter of firewire-ohci kernel module. The parameter would be removed
in any future timing, thus it is now deprecated.

20 Jul 2024: i2c-host for v6.11 - part 2 [+ + +]
Hi Wolfram,

here comes the second part of the merge window pull request. I
pull request on top of the mainline.

Until now I was on top of your i2c/for-mergewindow branch.

Thanks and have a great weekend,
Andi

Added descriptions in the DTS for the Qualcomm SM8650 and SM8550
Camera Control Interface (CCI).

Added support for the "settle-time-us" property, which allows the
gpio-mux device to switch from one bus to another with a
configurable delay. The time can be set in the DTS.

The latest change also includes file sorting.

Fixed slot numbering in the SMBus framework to prevent failures
when more than 8 slots are occupied. It now enforces a a maximum
of 8 slots to be used. This ensures that the Intel PIIX4 device
can register the SPDs correctly without failure, even if other
slots are populated but not used.

 
19 Jul 2024: PCI changes for v6.11 [+ + +]
Enumeration:

  - Define PCIE_RESET_CONFIG_DEVICE_WAIT_MS for the generic 100ms required

Resource management:

  - Rename find_resource() to find_resource_space() to be more descriptive
    (Ilpo Järvinen)

  - Export find_resource_space() for use by PCI core, which needs to learn
    whether there is available space for a bridge window (Ilpo Järvinen)

    don't assume a new device is the one that used to be there (Lukas
    Wunner)

Virtualization:

  - Add an ACS quirk for Broadcom BCM5760X multi-function NIC; it prevents
    transactions between functions even though it doesn't advertise ACS, so
    the functions can be attached individually via VFIO (Ajit Khaparde)

Peer-to-peer DMA:

  - Add a "pci=config_acs=" kernel command-line parameter to relax default

19 Jul 2024: KVM changes for 6.11 merge window [+ + +]
ARM:

* Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested
  virtualization enablement

* Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling
  (in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware

* Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1 of
  the protocol

* FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration
  and exception routing

* New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under KVM

* Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor

* Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX

* Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates

LoongArch:

* Add paravirt steal time support.

* Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET.

* Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch.

RISC-V:

* Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest

* perf kvm stat support

* Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available

ONE_REG support for the Zimop, Zcmop, Zca, Zcf, Zcd, Zcb and Zawrs ISA
extensions is coming through the RISC-V tree.

s390:

* Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical

x86:

* Fixes for Xen emulation.

* Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g. EFER

* Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the effective APIC
  bus frequency, because TDX.

* Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant tracepoint.

* Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to consistently act on
  "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking for a specific vendor.

* Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on CPUs
  that support self-snoop.

* Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure.

* Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as it reads
  '0' and writes from userspace are ignored.

* Misc cleanups

x86 - MMU:

* Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
  Intel TDX support.

* Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages that can't
  hold leafs SPTEs.

* Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables for eager
  page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting huge pages.

* Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE that is
  non-present or not-huge.  KVM is guaranteed to end up in a broken state
  because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's all but dangerous
  to let more MMU changes happen afterwards.

x86 - AMD:

* Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware.

* Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into an
  instrumentable function from noinstr code.

* Base support for running SEV-SNP guests.  API-wise, this includes
  a new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
  guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it.  Internally,
  there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated pages
  before mapping them into guest private memory ranges.

  This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough to
  say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification.

  There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing
  keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet
  for the host to provide certificate data for those keys.  To support
  fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit type will be
  needed to handle fetching the certificate from userspace. An attempt to
  define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO/KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS exit type to handle
  this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but is still being discussed
  by community, so for now this patchset only implements a stub version
  of SNP Extended Guest Requests that does not provide certificate data.

x86 - Intel:

* Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware.

* Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested pending posted
  interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing HLT in L2 (with
  HLT-exiting disable by L1).

* KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch emulation

  Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are triggered when
  emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support userspace MMIO during
  complex (multi-step) emulation.  Silently ignoring the exit request can
  result in the WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to
  userspace for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed.

  See commit 0dc902267cb3 ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write exits if
  emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's limitations with
  respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator flows.

Generic:

* Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to AS_INACCESSIBLE,
  because the special casing needed by these pages is not due to just
  unmovability (and in fact they are only unmovable because the CPU cannot
  access them).

* New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is useful to
  mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live migration.
  The code will also be used by TDX, but (probably) not through the ioctl.

* Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a clear win.

* Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to synchronize
  SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86.

* Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with a flag
  that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and sched_out().

* Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
  truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace detect bugs.

* Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in the
  KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus writing guest
  memory when retrieving guest state during live migration blackout.

Selftests:

* Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test.

* Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family 17h+ CPUs.

* Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid spamming the
  log for tests that create lots of VMs.

* Make the PMU counters test less flaky when counting LLC cache misses by
  doing CLFLUSH{OPT} in every loop iteration.

19 Jul 2024: Staging driver changes for 6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
Staging driver updates for 6.11-rc1

This is the "big" staging driver update for 6.11-rc1.  Not really all
that much happened this release cycle, just lots of tiny cleanups,
overall about 3000 lines removed, so the cleanups were worth it.

Included in here are:
  - loads of rtl8723bs driver cleanups
  - lots of rtl8192e driver cleanups
  - vc04_services reworks and cleanups as that codebase gets slowly
    evolved into something that will make it into the "real" part of the
    kernel hopefully soon.
  - other tiny staging driver cleanups

All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

All of these, EXCEPT for the final Kconfig build fix for 32bit systems,
have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.  The
Kconfig fixup went in 29 hours ago, so might have missed the latest
linux-next, but was acked by everyone involved.

Here is a small set of tty and serial driver updates for 6.11-rc1.  Not
much happened this cycle, unlike the previous kernel release which had
lots of "excitement" in this part of the kernel.  Included in here are
the following changes:
  - dt binding updates for new platforms
  - 8250 driver updates
  - various small serial driver fixes and updates
  - printk/console naming and matching attempt #2 (was reverted for
    6.10-final, should be good to go this time around, acked by the

19 Jul 2024: IOMMU Updates for Linux v6.11 [+ + +]

I've been looking after the IOMMU tree in Joerg's absence [1] for the
past few weeks and I was expecting him back at the start of this week to
send the pull. However, I've not heard from him at all and figured that
I may as well send this now rather than wait until the second week of
the merge window.

A few minor fixes have started showing up too, so I may end up sending
you a follow-up next week anyway.

A summary of all the changes is included in the tag.

Cheers,

Will

please pull sound updates for v6.11-rc1 from:


The topmost commit is 4594d26fca91fab0e1621d2ab196f3f9bab96bc8


sound updates for 6.11-rc1

Lots of changes in this cycle, but mostly for cleanups and
refactoring.  Significant amount of changes are about DT schema
conversions for ASoC at this time while we see other usual
suspects, too.  Some highlights below:

Core:
- Re-introduction of PCM sync ID support API
- MIDI2 time-base extension in ALSA sequencer API

ASoC:
- Syncing of features between simple-audio-card and the two
  audio-graph cards

  checks in various drivers


19 Jul 2024: dma-mapping updates for Linux 6.11 [+ + +]
dma-mapping updates for Linux 6.11

 - reduce duplicate swiotlb pool lookups (Michael Kelley)
 - minor small fixes (Yicong Yang, Yang Li)

 
18 Jul 2024: bcachefs changes for 6.11, v2 [+ + +]
Ok, version 2:

bcachefs changes for 6.11-rc1 (version 2)

Additional fixes on top of the original 6.11 pull request:
- undefined behaviour fixes, originally noted as breaking userspace LTO
  builds
- fix a spurious warning in fsck_err, reported by Marcin
- fix an integer overflow on trans->nr_updates, also reported by Marcin;
  this broke during deletion of highly fragmented indirect extents
- Add comments for lockdep functions

======

- Metadata version 1.8: Stripe sectors accounting, BCH_DATA_unstriped

This splits out the accounting of dirty sectors and stripe sectors in
alloc keys; this lets us see stripe buckets that still have unstriped
data in them.

This is needed for ensuring that erasure coding is working correctly, as
well as completing stripe creation after a crash.

- Metadata version 1.9: Disk accounting rewrite

The previous disk accounting scheme relied heavily on percpu counters
that were also sharded by outstanding journal buffer; it was fast but
not extensible or scalable, and meant that all accounting counters were
recorded in every journal entry.

The new disk accounting scheme stores accounting as normal btree keys;
updates are deltas until they are flushed by the btree write buffer.

This means we have no practical limit on the number of counters, and a
new tagged union format that's easy to extend.

We now have counters for compression type/ratio, per-snapshot-id usage,
per-btree-id usage, and pending rebalance work.

- Self healing on read IO/checksum error

data is now automatically rewritten if we get a read error and then a
successful retry

- Mount API conversion (thanks to Thomas Bertschinger)

- Better lockdep coverage

Previously, btree node locks were tracked individually by lockdep, like
any other lock. But we may take _many_ btree node locks simultaneously,
we easily blow through the limit of 48 locks that lockdep can track,
leading to lockdep turning itself off.

Tracking each btree node lock individually isn't really necessary since
we have our own cycle detector for deadlock avoidance and centralized
tracking of btree node locks, so we now have a single lockdep_map in
btree_trans for "any btree nodes are locked".

- some more small incremental work towards online check_allocations

- lots more debugging improvements, fixes

18 Jul 2024: Documentation for 6.11 [+ + +]
Nothing hugely exciting happening in the documentation tree this time
around, mostly more of the usual:

- More Spanish, Italian, and Chinese translations

- A new script, scripts/checktransupdate.py, can be used to see which
  commits have touched an (English) document since a given translation was
  last updated.

- A couple of "best practices" suggestions (on Link: tags and off-list
  discussions) that were not entirely at consensus level, but I concluded
  they were close enough to accept.

- Some nice cleanups removing documentation for kernel parameters that have
  not been recognized for ... a long time.

...along with the usual updates, typo fixes, and such.

18 Jul 2024: VFIO updates for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
Just a few commits this cycle.  Thanks

VFIO updates for v6.11

 - Add support for 8-byte accesses when using read/write through the
   device regions.  This fills a gap for userspace drivers that might
   not be able to use access through mmap to perform native register
   width accesses. (Gerd Bayer)

 - Add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION to vfio-mdev sample drivers and
   replace a non-standard MODULE_INFO usage. (Jeff Johnson)

18 Jul 2024: sparc updates for v6.11 [+ + +]
This includes the following changes related to sparc for v6.11:

- Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION for a number of sbus drivers

- Fix linking error for large sparc32 kernels

- Fix incorrect functions signature and prototype warnings for sparc64

18 Jul 2024: drm next for 6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
This is the main drm next pull for 6.11. It has one minor conflict
when I test merged it with your tree.

s390 updates for 6.11 merge window

- Remove restrictions on PAI NNPA and crypto counters, enabling
  concurrent per-task and system-wide sampling and counting events

- Switch to GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES by setting up the CPU present mask in
  the architecture code and letting the generic code handle CPU bring-up

- Add support for the diag204 busy indication facility to prevent
  undesirable blocking during hypervisor logical CPU utilization
  queries. Implement results caching

- Improve the handling of Store Data SCLP events by suppressing
  unnecessary warning, preventing buffer release in I/O during failures,
  and adding timeout handling for Store Data requests to address potential
  firmware issues

- Provide optimized __arch_hweight*() implementations

- Remove the unnecessary CPU KOBJ_CHANGE uevents generated during topology
  updates, as they are unused and also not present on other architectures

- Cleanup atomic_ops, optimize __atomic_set() for small values and
  __atomic_cmpxchg_bool() for compilers supporting flag output constraint

- Couple of cleanups for KVM:
  - Move and improve KVM struct definitions for DAT tables from gaccess.c
    to a new header
  - Pass the asce as parameter to sie64a()

- Make the crdte() and cspg() page table handling wrappers return a
  boolean to indicate success, like the other existing "compare and swap"
  wrappers

- Add documentation for HWCAP flags

- Switch to obtaining total RAM pages from memblock instead of
  totalram_pages() during mm init, to ensure correct calculation of zero
  page size, when defer_init is enabled

- Refactor lowcore access and switch to using the get_lowcore() function
  instead of the S390_lowcore macro

- Cleanups for PG_arch_1 and folio handling in UV and hugetlb code

- Add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros

- Fix VM_FAULT_HWPOISON handling in do_exception()

17 Jul 2024: slab updates for 6.11 [+ + +]
please pull the latest slab updates from:


no merge conflicts with other trees expected.

Thanks,
Vlastimil


The most prominent change this time is the kmem_buckets based hardening of
kmalloc() allocations from Kees Cook. We have also extended the kmalloc()
alignment guarantees for non-power-of-two sizes in a way that benefits rust.
The rest are various cleanups and non-critical fixups.

- Dedicated bucket allocator (Kees Cook)

  This series [1] enhances the probabilistic defense against heap
  spraying/grooming of CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES from last year. kmalloc()
  users that are known to be useful for exploits can get completely separate
  set of kmalloc caches that can't be shared with other users. The first
  converted users are alloc_msg() and memdup_user(). The hardening is enabled by
  CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS.

- Extended kmalloc() alignment guarantees (Vlastimil Babka)

  For years now we have guaranteed natural alignment for power-of-two
  allocations, but nothing was defined for other sizes (in practice, we have
  two such buckets, kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192). To avoid unnecessary padding
  in the rust layer due to its alignment rules, extend the guarantee so that
  the alignment is at least the largest power-of-two divisor of the requested
  size. This fits what rust needs, is a superset of the existing power-of-two
  guarantee, and does not in practice change the layout (and thus does not add
  overhead due to padding) of the kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192 caches, unless slab
  debugging is enabled for them.

- Cleanups and non-critical fixups (Chengming Zhou, Suren Baghdasaryan, Matthew
  Willcox, Alex Shi, Vlastimil Babka)

  Various tweaks related to the new alloc profiling code, folio conversion,
  debugging and more leftovers after SLAB.

tracing: Trivial updates for 6.11

- Set rtla/osnoise default threshold to 1us from 5us
  The 5us default was missing noise that people cared about.
  Changing it to 1us makes it work as expected.

- Restructure how sched_switch prev_comm and next_comm was being saved.
  The prev_comm was being saved along with the other next fields, and the
  next_comm was being saved along with the other prev fields. This is just
  a cosmetic change.

- Have the allocation of pid_list use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_KERNEL.
  The allocation can happen in irq_work context, but luckily, the size
  was by default so large, it was never triggered. But in case it ever is,
  use the NOWAIT allocation in the interrupt context.

- Fix some kernel doc errors.




trace-v6.11

16 Jul 2024: ring-buffer: Updates for 6.11 [+ + +]


tracing/ring-buffer: Have persistent buffer across reboots

This allows for the tracing instance ring buffer to stay persistent across
reboots. The way this is done is by adding to the kernel command line:

  trace_instance=boot_map@0x285400000:12M

This will reserve 12 megabytes at the address 0x285400000, and then map
the tracing instance "boot_map" ring buffer to that memory. This will
appear as a normal instance in the tracefs system:

  /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_map

A user could enable tracing in that instance, and on reboot or kernel
crash, if the memory is not wiped by the firmware, it will recreate the
trace in that instance. For example, if one was debugging a shutdown of a
kernel reboot:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo function > instances/boot_map/current_tracer
 # reboot
[..]
 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # tail instances/boot_map/trace

       swapper/0-1       [000] d..1.   164.549822: acpi_os_write_port <-acpi_reboot

On reboot, the buffer is examined to make sure it is valid. The validation
check even steps through every event to make sure the meta data of the
event is correct. If any test fails, it will simply reset the buffer, and
the buffer will be empty on boot.

16 Jul 2024: probes: Updates for v6.11 [+ + +]
Probes updates for v6.11:

Uprobes:
- x86/shstk: Make return uprobe work with shadow stack.
- Add uretprobe syscall which speeds up the uretprobe 10-30% faster. This
  syscall is automatically used from user-space trampolines which are
  generated by the uretprobe. If this syscall is used by normal
  user program, it will cause SIGILL. Note that this is currently only
  implemented on x86_64.
  (This also has 2 fixes for adjusting the syscall number to avoid conflict
   with new *attrat syscalls.)
- uprobes/perf: fix user stack traces in the presence of pending uretprobe.
  This corrects the uretprobe's trampoline address in the stacktrace with
  correct return address.
- selftests/x86: Add a return uprobe with shadow stack test.
- selftests/bpf: Add uretprobe syscall related tests.
  . test case for register integrity check.
  . test case with register changing case.
  . test case for uretprobe syscall without uprobes (expected to be failed).
  . test case for uretprobe with shadow stack.
- selftests/bpf: add test validating uprobe/uretprobe stack traces
- MAINTAINERS: Add uprobes entry. This does not specify the tree but to
  clarify who maintains and reviews the uprobes.

Kprobes:
- tracing/kprobes: Test case cleanups. Replace redundant WARN_ON_ONCE() +
  pr_warn() with WARN_ONCE() and remove unnecessary code from selftest.
- tracing/kprobes: Add symbol counting check when module loads. This
  checks the uniqueness of the probed symbol on modules. The same check
  has already done for kernel symbols.
  (This also has a fix for build error with CONFIG_MODULES=n)

Cleanup:
- Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros for fprobe and kprobe examples.

16 Jul 2024: sysctl changes for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
Note: I have update the capabilities in my signing key. I don't think
anything changes on your side, but thought I'd mention it for good
would probably solve any unforeseen issues.

sysctl changes for 6.11-rc1

Summary

* Remove "->procname == NULL" check when iterating through sysctl table arrays

    Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and
    runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. With all ctl_table
    sentinels gone, the additional check for ->procname == NULL that worked in
    tandem with the ARRAY_SIZE to calculate the size of the ctl_table arrays is
    no longer needed and has been removed. The sysctl register functions now
    returns an error if a sentinel is used.

* Preparation patches for sysctl constification

    Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of proc_handler
    function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. The ctl_table arguments
    in sysctl utility functions are const qualified in preparation for a future
    treewide proc_handler argument constification commit.

* Misc fixes

    Increase robustness of set_ownership by providing sane default ownership
    values in case the callee doesn't set them. Bound check proc_dou8vec_minmax
    to avoid loading buggy modules and give sysctl testing module a name to
    avoid compiler complaints.

Testing

  * This got push to linux-next in v6.10-rc2, so it has had more than a month
    of testing

 - Add support for running the kernel in a SEV-SNP guest, over a Secure
   VM Service Module (SVSM).

   When running over a SVSM, different services can run at different
   protection levels, apart from the guest OS but still within the
   secure SNP environment.  They can provide services to the guest, like
   a vTPM, for example.

   This series adds the required facilities to interface with such a SVSM
   module.

 - The usual fixlets, refactoring and cleanups

15 Jul 2024: Smack patches for 6.11 [+ + +]
Here is the Smack pull request for v6.11.

There are 2 patches. Both address network labeling issues.
Both have been in the next branch and pass all tests.

Two fixes for Smack networking by Konstantin Andreev.

15 Jul 2024: sched_ext: Initial pull request for v6.11 [+ + +]
NOTE: I couldn't get git-request-pull to generate the correct diffstat. The
      diffstat at the end is generated against the merged base and should
      match the diff when sched_ext-for-6.11 is pulled after tip/sched/core
      and bpf/for-next.

sched_ext: Initial pull request for v6.11

This is the initial pull request of sched_ext. The v7 patchset
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]) is
applied on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/for-next as of Jun 18th.

  tip/sched/core 793a62823d1c ("sched/core: Drop spinlocks on contention iff kernel is preemptible")
  bpf/for-next   f6afdaf72af7 ("Merge branch 'bpf-support-resilient-split-btf'")

Since then, the following changes:

- cpuperf support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately
  and then applied after reviews.

- tip/sched/core is pulled into resolve the conflicts between

    e83edbf88f18 ("sched: Add sched_class->reweight_task()")
    d32960528702 ("sched/fair: set_load_weight() must also call reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks")

  The former makes reweight_task() a sched_class operation for sched_ext
  while the latter fixed a bug around idle weight handling in the same area.
  The conflicts are not trivial although not that complicated either.

- Improve integration with sched core.

- DSQ iterator which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately.
  The iterator itself was applied after a couple revisions. The associated
  selective consumption kfunc can use further improvements and is still
  being worked on.

- The BPF scheduler couldn't directly dispatch to the local DSQ of another
  CPU using a SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON verdict. This caused difficulties around
  handling non-wakeup enqueues. Updated so that SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON can be used
  in the enqueue path too.

- Various fixes and improvements.

As the branch is based on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/for-next, please merge
after both are applied.

15 Jul 2024: asm-generic updates for 6.11 [+ + +]
asm-generic updates for 6.11

Most of this is part of my ongoing work to clean up the system call
tables. In this bit, all of the newer architectures are converted to
use the machine readable syscall.tbl format instead in place of complex
macros in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h.

This follows an earlier series that fixed various API mismatches
and in turn is used as the base for planned simplifications.

The other two patches are dead code removal and a warning fix.

15 Jul 2024: Thermal control updates for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]

 thermal-6.11-rc1


 Merge branch 'thermal-intel'


 thermal: core: Fix list sorting in __thermal_zone_device_update()

to receive thermal control updates for 6.11-rc1.

These add some new hardware support (notably, the Lunar Lake platform
support in int340x and X1E80100 temperature sensor), continue to rework
the thermal driver interface to eliminate trip point IDs from it, update
DT bindings for a number of platforms and simplify probe in a number of
thermal drivers, address issues and clean up code.

Specifics:

 - Add DLVR and MSI interrupt support for the Lunar Lake platform to the
   int340x thermal driver (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Enable workload type hints (WLT) support and power floor interrupt
   support for the Lunar Lake platform in int340x ((Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Switch Intel thermal drivers to new Intel CPU model defines (Tony
   Luck).

 - Clean up the int3400 and int3403 drivers (Erick Archer and David Alan
   Gilbert).

 - Improve intel_pch_thermal kernel log messages printed during suspend
   to idle (Zhang Rui).

 - Make the intel_tcc_cooling driver use a model-specific bitmask for
   TCC offset (Ricardo Neri).

 - Redesign the .set_trip_temp() thermal zone callback to take a trip
   pointer instead of a trip ID and update its users (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Avoid using invalid combinations of polling_delay and passive_delay
   thermal zone parameters (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Update a cooling device registration function to take a const
   argument (Krzysztof Kozlowski).

 - Make the uniphier thermal driver use thermal_zone_for_each_trip() for
   walking trip points (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix and clean up several minor shortcomings in thermal debug (Rafael
   Wysocki).

 - Rename __thermal_zone_set_trips() to thermal_zone_set_trips() and
   make it use trip thresholds (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Use READ_ONCE() for lockless access to trip temperature and
   hysteresis (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Drop unnecessary cooling device target state checks from the
   Bang-Bang thermal governor (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Avoid invoking thermal governor .trip_crossed() callback for critical
   and hot trip points (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Group all Renesas drivers inside a dedicated sub directory and add
   the missing dependency to OF (Niklas S=C3=B6derlund).

 - Add suspend/resume support on k3_j72xx_bandgap and take the
   opportunity to remove an unneeded delay in the init time code
   path (Th=C3=A9o Lebrun).

 - Fix thermal zone definition for MT8186 and MT8188 (Julien Panis).

 - Convert hisilicon-thermal.txt to dt-schema (Abdulrasaq Lawani).

 - Add DT bindings for the X1E80100 temperature sensor (Abel Vesa).

 - Fix the thermal zone node name regular expression in the DT schema
   (Krzysztof Kozlowski).

 - Avoid failing thermal control initialization by using default values
   on some platforms where calibration data is missing  (Chen-Yu Tsai).

 - Fix the sensor cell size in DT for the Exynos platform (Krzysztof
   Kozlowski).

 - Bring the common definition of '#thermal-sensor-cells' property in
   order to simplify the bindings on all the platforms where this
   change makes sense and do some minor cleanups (Krzysztof Kozlowski).

 - Fix a race between removal and clock disable in the broadcom thermal
   driver (Krzysztof Kozlowski).

 - Drop 'trips' DT node as required from the thermal zone bindings in
   order to fix the remaining warnings appearing for thermal zones
   without trip points (Rob Herring).

 - Simplify all the drivers where dev_err_probe() can apply (Krzysztof
   Kozlowski).

 - Clean up code related to stih416 as this platform is not described
   anywhere (Raphael Gallais-Pou).

Thanks!

15 Jul 2024: Btrfs updates for 6.11 [+ + +]
Hi,

please pull the changes described below. The hilights are new logic
behind background block group reclaim, automatic removal of qgroup
after removing a subvolume and new 'rescue=' mount options. The rest is
optimizations, cleanups and refactoring.

There's a merge conflict caused by the latency fixes from last week in
extent_map.c:btrfs_scan_inode(), related commits 4e660ca3a98d931809734
and b3ebb9b7e92a928344a. Resolved in branch for-6.11-merged and that's
been in linux-next for a few days.

User visible features:

- dynamic block group reclaim:
  - tunable framework to avoid situations where eager data allocations
    prevent creating new metadata chunks due to lack of unallocated
    space
  - reuse sysfs knob bg_reclaim_threshold (otherwise used only in zoned
    mode) for a fixed value threshold
  - new on/off sysfs knob "dynamic_reclaim" calculating the value based
    on heuristics, aiming to keep spare working space for relocating
    chunks but not to needlessly relocate partially utilized block
    groups or reclaim newly allocated ones
  - stats are exported in sysfs per block group type, files "reclaim_*"
  - this may increase IO load at unexpected times but the corner case of
    no allocatable block groups is known to be worse

- automatically remove qgroup of deleted subvolumes
  - adjust qgroup removal conditions, make sure all related subvolume
    data are already removed, or return EBUSY, also take into account
    setting of sysfs drop_subtree_threshold
  - also works in squota mode

- mount option updates: new modes of 'rescue=' that allow to mount (as
  read-only) images that could have been partially converted by
  user space tools
  - ignoremetacsums  - invalid metadata checksums are ignored
  - ignoresuperflags - super block flags that track conversion in
                       progress (like UUID or checksums)

Core:

- size of struct btrfs_inode is now below 1024 (on a release config),
  improved memory packing and other secondary effects

- switch tracking of open inodes from rb-tree to xarray, minor
  performance improvement

- reduce number of empty transaction commits when there are no dirty
  data/metadata

- memory allocation optimizations (reduced numbers, reordering out of
  critical sections)

- extent map structure optimizations and refactoring, more sanity checks

- more subpage in zoned mode preparations or fixes

- general snapshot code cleanups, improvements and documentation

- tree-checker updates: more file extent ram_bytes fixes, continued

- raid-stripe-tree update (not backward compatible):
  - remove extent encoding field from the structure, can be inferred
    from other information
  - requires btrfs-progs 6.9.1 or newer

- cleanups and refactoring
  - error message updates
  - error handling improvements
  - return type and parameter cleanups and improvements

15 Jul 2024: dlm updates for 6.11 [+ + +]


Note, this set includes a patch touching drivers/md/md-cluster.c, acked
by the md-cluster developers, making use of the new DLM_LSFL_SOFTIRQ_SAFE
flag.  Overall, changes include:

- New flag DLM_LSFL_SOFTIRQ_SAFE can be set by code using dlm
  to indicate callbacks can be run from softirq.
- Change md-cluster to set DLM_LSFL_SOFTIRQ_SAFE.
- Clean up for previous changes, e.g. unused code and parameters.
- Remove custom pre-allocation of rsb structs which is unnecessary
  with kmem caches.
- Change idr to xarray for lkb structs in use.
- Change idr to xarray for rsb structs being recovered.
- Change outdated naming related to internal rsb states.
- Fix some incorrect add/remove of rsb on scan list.
- Use rcu to free rsb structs.

15 Jul 2024: NFSD changes for v6.11 [+ + +]
NFSD 6.11 Release Notes

This is a light release containing optimizations, code clean-ups,
and minor bug fixes. This development cycle focused on work outside
of upstream kernel development:

1. Continuing to build upstream CI for NFSD based on kdevops
2. Continuing to focus on the quality of NFSD in LTS kernels
3. Participation in IETF nfsv4 WG discussions about NFSv4 ACLs,
   directory delegation, and NFSv4.2 COPY offload

Notable features in v6.11 that were not pulled through the NFSD tree
include NFS server-side support for the new pNFS NVMe layout type
[RFC9561]. Functional testing for pNFS block layouts like this one
has been introduced to our kdevops CI harness. Work on improving
the resolution of file attribute time stamps in local filesystems
is also ongoing tree-wide.

As always I am grateful to NFSD contributors, reviewers, testers,
and bug reporters who participated during this cycle.

15 Jul 2024: SPI updates for v6.11 [+ + +]
spi: Updates for v6.11

There's some quite exciting core work in this release, we've got the
beginnings of support for hardware initiated transfers which is itself
independently useful for optimising fast paths in existing drivers.

We also have a rework of the DMA mapping which allows finer grained
decisions about DMA mapping messages and also helps remove some bodges
that we'd had.

Otherwise it's a fairly quiet release, a few new drivers and features
for existing drivers, together with various cleanups and DT binding
conversions.

One regmap SPI fix made it's way in here too which I should probably
have sent as a regmap fix instead.

 - Support for pre-optimising messages, reducing the overhead for
   messages that are repeatedly used (eg, reading the interrupt status
   from a device).  This will also be used for hardware initiated
   transfers in future.
 - A reworking of how DMA mapping is done, introducing a new helper and
   allowing the DMA mapping decision to be done per transfer instead of
   per message.
 - Support for Atmel SAMA7D64, Freescale LX2160A DSPI and WCH CH341A.

15 Jul 2024: regmap updates for v6.11 [+ + +]
regmap: Updates for v6.11

There's one new feature here, a regmap_multi_reg_read() matching the
existing write function which has some IIO users coming.  This allows
atomic reads from multiple registers without the need to wrap a higher
level lock in the client driver just for regmap (which already has locks
anyway).  We also have one fix for the KUnit tests, and a bunch of
cleanups.

15 Jul 2024: regulator updates for v6.11 [+ + +]
regulator: Updates for v6.11

This s a very quiet release for the regulator API, we have a few new
devices (most of which are just ID updates) and one new fairly
specialist core feature for use in interrupt context.

 - An API allowing lockless enable/disable for regulators acquired in
   exclusive mode, for use in interrupt contexts.
 - A rewrite of the MedaTek DVFSRC regulator driver which apparently
   never worked.
 - Support for Mediaktek MT6312, Qualcomm QCA6390 and WCN7850, Renesas
   RZ/G2L USB VBUS regulator and ST Microelectronics STM32MP13.

15 Jul 2024: x86/build for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
please pull a single x86 build improvement for v6.11-rc1.

15 Jul 2024: locking changes for v6.11 [+ + +]



Locking changes for v6.11:

 - Jump label fixes, including a perf events fix that originally
   manifested as jump label failures, but was a serialization bug
   at the usage site.

 - Mark down_write*() helpers as __always_inline, to improve
   WCHAN debuggability.

- This is basically PeterZ's idea to nest the alternative macros to avoid the
  need to "spell out" the number of alternates in an ALTERNATIVE_n() macro and
  thus have an ever-increasing complexity in those definitions.

  For ease of bisection, the old macros are converted to the new, nested
  variants in a step-by-step manner so that in case an issue is encountered
  during testing, one can pinpoint the place where it fails easier. Because
  debugging alternatives is a serious pain.

15 Jul 2024: gpio updates for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <[email protected]>


Here's the pull-request from the GPIO tree for this merge window. The majority
of added lines are two new modules: the GPIO virtual consumer module that
improves our ability to add automated tests for the kernel API and the "sloppy"
logic analyzer module that uses the GPIO API to implement a coarse-grained
debugging tool for useful for remote development.

Other than that we have the usual assortment of various driver extensions,
improvements to the core GPIO code, DT-bindings and other documentation
updates as well as an extension to the interrupt simulator.


Best Regards,
Bartosz Golaszewski

gpio updates for v6.11-rc1

GPIOLIB core:
- rework kfifo handling rework in the character device code
- improve the labeling of GPIOs requested as interrupts and show more info
  on interrupt-only GPIOs in debugfs
- remove unused APIs
- unexport interfaces that are only used from the core GPIO code
- drop the return value from gpiochip_set_desc_names() as it cannot fail
- move a string array definition out of a header and into a specific
  compilation unit
- convert the last user of gpiochip_get_desc() other than GPIO core to using
  a safer alternative
- use array_index_nospec() where applicable

New drivers:
- add a "virtual GPIO consumer" module that allows requesting GPIOs from actual
  hardware and driving tests of the in-kernel GPIO API from user-space over
  debugfs
- add a GPIO-based "sloppy" logic analyzer module useful for "first glance"
  debugging on remote boards

Driver improvements:
- add support for a new model to gpio-pca953x
- lock GPIOs as interrupts in gpio-sim when the lines are requested as irqs
  via the simulator domain + some other minor improvements
- improve error reporting in gpio-syscon
- convert gpio-ath79 to using dynamic GPIO base and range
- use pcibios_err_to_errno() for converting PCIBIOS error codes to errno
  vaues in gpio-amd8111 and gpio-rdc321x
- allow building gpio-brcmstb for the BCM2835 architecture

DT bindings:
- convert DT bindings for lsi,zevio, mpc8xxx, and atmel to DT schema
- document new properties for aspeed,gpio, fsl,qoriq-gpio and gpio-vf610
- document new compatibles for pca953x and fsl,qoriq-gpio

Documentation:
- document stricter behavior of the GPIO character device uAPI with regards to
  reconfiguring requested line without direction set
- clarify the effect of the active-low flag on line values and edges
- remove documentation for the legacy GPIO API in order to stop tempting
  people to use it
- document the preference for using pread() for reading edge events in the
  sysfs API

Other:
- add an extended initializer to the interrupt simulator allowing to specify
  a number of callbacks callers can use to be notified about irqs being
  requested and released

15 Jul 2024: erofs updates for 6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
Could you consider this pull request for 6.11-rc1?

No outstanding new features have landed for this cycle so far.

There are patches addressing folio conversions for compressed inodes:
While large folio support for compressed data could work now, it remains
disabled since the stress test could hang due to page migration in a few
hours after enabling it.  I need more time to investigate further before
enabling this feature.

Additionally, there are also some patches to clean up stream
decompressors and tracepoints for simplicity.

All commits have been tested and no potential merge conflict is
observed.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Changes since last update:

 - More folio conversions for compressed inodes;

 - Stream decompressor (LZMA/DEFLATE/ZSTD) cleanups;

 - Minor tracepoint cleanup.

  properly hierarchical and pids.events.local added.

- misc.peak and misc.events.local added.

- cpuset remote partition creation and cpuset.cpus.exclusive handling
  improved.

  trigger pull.

14 Jul 2024: workqueue: Changes for v6.11 [+ + +]
workqueue: Changes for v6.11

- Lai fixed a bug where CPU hotplug and workqueue attribute changes race
  leaving some workqueues not fully updated. This involved refactoring and
  changing how online CPUs are tracked. The resulting code is cleaner.

- Workqueue watchdog touch operation was causing too much cacheline
  contention on very large machines. Nicholas improved scalabililty by
  avoiding unnecessary global updates.

- Code cleanups and minor rescuer behavior improvement.

- The last commit 58629d4871e8 ("workqueue: Always queue work items to the
  newest PWQ for order workqueues") is a cherry-picked straggler commit from
  for-6.10-fixes, a fix for a bug which may not actually trigger.
  Unfortunately, maybe because for-6.10-fixes was branched off at a
  different point from for-6.11, I couldn't persuade git request-pull to
  generate clean diffstat if pulled into for-6.11.

14 Jul 2024: bcachefs changes for 6.11 [+ + +]
bcachefs changes for 6.11-rc1

- Metadata version 1.8: Stripe sectors accounting, BCH_DATA_unstriped

This splits out the accounting of dirty sectors and stripe sectors in
alloc keys; this lets us see stripe buckets that still have unstriped
data in them.

This is needed for ensuring that erasure coding is working correctly, as
well as completing stripe creation after a crash.

- Metadata version 1.9: Disk accounting rewrite

The previous disk accounting scheme relied heavily on percpu counters
that were also sharded by outstanding journal buffer; it was fast but
not extensible or scalable, and meant that all accounting counters were
recorded in every journal entry.

The new disk accounting scheme stores accounting as normal btree keys;
updates are deltas until they are flushed by the btree write buffer.

This means we have no practical limit on the number of counters, and a
new tagged union format that's easy to extend.

We now have counters for compression type/ratio, per-snapshot-id usage,
per-btree-id usage, and pending rebalance work.

- Self healing on read IO/checksum error

data is now automatically rewritten if we get a read error and then a
successful retry

- Mount API conversion (thanks to Thomas Bertschinger)

- Better lockdep coverage

Previously, btree node locks were tracked individually by lockdep, like
any other lock. But we may take _many_ btree node locks simultaneously,
we easily blow through the limit of 48 locks that lockdep can track,
leading to lockdep turning itself off.

Tracking each btree node lock individually isn't really necessary since
we have our own cycle detector for deadlock avoidance and centralized
tracking of btree node locks, so we now have a single lockdep_map in
btree_trans for "any btree nodes are locked".

- some more small incremental work towards online check_allocations

- lots more debugging improvements, fixes

pwm: Changes for v6.11-rc1

This contains the usual mix of fixes, cleanups, two new drivers and
several dt binding updates. The fixes are for minor issues that are
already old (4.11-rc1 and 3.9-rc1) and were found by code review and not
during usage, so I didn't sent them for earlier inclusion.

The changes to include/linux/mfd/stm32-timers.h and
drivers/counter/stm32-timer-cnt.c are part of an immutable branch that
will also be included in the mfd and counter PR. It changes some
register definitions and affects the pwm-stm32 driver.

14 Jul 2024: irq/core for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
please pull the latest irq/core branch from:

-14


Updates for the interrupt subsystem:

  - Core:

    - Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains. The existing
      interfaces have already too many parameters and it's a pain to expand
      any of this for new required functionality.

      The new function takes a pointer to a data structure as argument. The
      data structure combines all existing parameters and allows for easy
      extension.

      The first extension for this is to handle the instantiation of
      generic interrupt chips at the core level and to allow drivers to
      provide extra init/exit callbacks.

      This is necessary to do the full interrupt chip initialization before
      the new domain is published, so that concurrent usage sites won't see
      a half initialized interrupt domain. Similar problems exist on
      teardown.

      This has turned out to be a real problem due to the deferred and
      parallel probing which was added in recent years.

      Handling this at the core level allows to remove quite some accrued
      boilerplate code in existing drivers and avoids horrible workarounds
      at the driver level.

    - The usual small improvements all over the place

  - MSI

    - Switch ARM/ARM64 over to the modern per device MSI domains.

      This simplifies the handling of platform MSI and wire to MSI
      controllers and removes about 500 lines of legacy code.

      Aside of that it paves the way for ARM/ARM64 to utilize the dynamic
      allocation of PCI/MSI interrupts and to support the upcoming non
      standard IMS (Interrupt Message Store) mechanism on PCIe devices

  - Drivers

    - Add support for LAN966x OIC and RZ/Five SoC

    - Split the STM ExtI driver into a microcontroller and a SMP version to
      allow building the latter as a module for multi-platform kernels.

    - Enable MSI support for Armada 370XP on platforms which do not support
      IPIs.

    - The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place.

people/daniel.lezcano/linux into timers/core

Updates for timers, timekeeping and related functionality:

  - Core:

    - Make the takeover of a hrtimer based broadcast timer reliable during
      CPU hot-unplug. The current implementation suffers from a race which
      can lead to broadcast timer starvation in the worst case.

    - VDSO related cleanups and simplifications

    - Small cleanups and enhancements all over the place
   =20
  - PTP:

    - Replace the architecture specific base clock to clocksource, e.g. ART
      to TSC, conversion function with generic functionality to avoid
      exposing such internals to drivers and convert all existing drivers
      over. This also allows to provide functionality which converts the
      other way round in the core code based on the same parameter set.

    - Provide a function to convert CLOCK_REALTIME to the base clock to
      support the upcoming PPS output driver on Intel platforms.

  - Drivers:

    - A set of Device Tree bindings for new hardware

    - Cleanups and enhancements all over the place

14 Jul 2024: smp/core for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
please pull the latest smp/core branch from:

-14

ll_on_cpu()

A small set of SMP/CPU hotplug updates:

  - Reverse the order of iteration when freezing secondary CPUs for
    hibernation.

    This avoids that drivers like the Intel uncore performance counter have
    to transfer the assignement of handling the per package uncore events
    for every CPU in a package, which is a considerable speedup on larger
    systems.

  - Add a missing destroy_work_on_stack() invocation in smp_call_on_cpu()
    to prevent debug objects to emit a false positive warning when the
    stack is freed.

  - Small cleanups in comments and a str_plural() conversion

Thanks,

14 Jul 2024: random number generator updates for 6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
Here's the vDSO getrandom() work we've been discussing for the last few weeks.
Thank you very much for your input on this and for working with me to get this
where it is. I'm happy with the set of compromises, and I think this wound up
in a decent place. A blurb for the merge message:

This is a short series adding getrandom() support to the vDSO. First, it adds a
new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which lets the kernel zero out
pages anytime under memory pressure, which enables allocating memory that never
gets swapped to disk but also doesn't count as being mlocked. Then, the vDSO
implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a generic manner and hooked into
random.c. Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already.) Finally, two
vDSO selftests are added.

Each version of this series has been in linux-next for a little bit, and there
are no major reported issues, though there may be a trivial merge conflict.


Thanks,
Jason

Torture-test updates for v6.11

This pull request adds MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to torture.c, locktorture.c,
and scftorture.c, and also adds static to a global variable that is used
only in scftorture.c.

14 Jul 2024: LKMM changes for v6.11 [+ + +]
When the merge window opens, please pull this LKMM update from:


lkmm: Fix corner-case locking bug and improve documentation

A simple but odd single-process litmus test acquires and immediately
releases a lock, then calls spin_is_locked().  LKMM acts if it was
a deadlock due to an assumption that spin_is_locked() will follow a
spin_lock() or some other process's spin_unlock().  This litmus test
manages to violate this assumption because the spin_is_locked() follows
the same process's spin_unlock().

This series fixes this bug, reorganizes and optimizes the lock.cat model,
and updates documentation.

 
13 Jul 2024: i2c-host for v6.11 [+ + +]
Hi Wolfram,

Not a massive pull request. The majority of changes relate to the
naming convention updates. Other than that, the holiday period
has given us some slack in the number of patches queued for this
pull request.

There is still one pending documentation fix required for an
issue reported by Stephen that I haven't noticed. I need to add
the documentation check to my workflow. If you don't have the
bandwidth, I can take care of it.

I also have a pending patch for a v2 pull request from Hans de
Goede ("i2c: i801: Use a different adapter name for IDF
adapters") that is waiting for precedence.

I wish you a great rest of the weekend,
Andi

This release includes significant updates, with the primary
change being the renaming from "master/slave" to
"controller/target" to adhere to I2C v7 and SMBus 3.2 standards.

New Support:

 - Added support for Intel Arrow Lake-H.
 - Added I2C support in the Arioha SoC by linking the Mediatek
   I2C controller.

Cleanups:

 - Added the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro, resolving a modpost
   warning in the ALi 1563 Southbridge driver.
 - Constified the regmap_config declaration in the i2c-designware
   driver.
 - Improved the coding style in the Renesas R-Car driver by
   removing unnecessary semicolons after brackets.

General improvements:

 - In the OMAP device, replaced NOIRQ_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS with
   RUNTIME_PM_OPS to enable waking up the controller during
   suspend() before suspend_noirq() kicks in.
 - Improved logging in the Xilinx driver.
 - Added a warning (WARN()) in the Renesas R-Car driver for
   spurious interrupts.

DTS Changes:

 - Removed address-cell and size-cell from the Atmel at91sam,
   nVidia Tegra 20, and Samsung S3c2410 devices.
 - Fixed Texas Instruments OMAP4 I2C controller to comply with
   the i2c-controller.yaml schema.
 - Improved indentation in DTS examples for several I2C devices.
 - Converted the NXP LPC1788 binding to the dt-schema.
 - Added documentation for the compatible string
   thead,th1520-i2c.
 - Added the "power-domains" property for the Meson I2C driver.

- Remove unnecessary local variables initialization as they will be
   initialized in the code path anyway right after on the ARM arch
   timer and the ARM global timer (Li kunyu)

- Fix a race condition in the interrupt leading to a deadlock on the
   SH CMT driver. Note that this fix was not tested on the platform
   using this timer but the fix seems reasonable enough to be picked
   confidently (Niklas Söderlund)

- Increase the rating of the gic-timer and use the configured width
   clocksource register on the MIPS architecture (Jiaxun Yang)

- Add the DT bindings for the TMU on the Renesas platforms (Geert
   Uytterhoeven)

- Add the DT bindings for the SOPHGO SG2002 clint on RiscV (Thomas

- Add the rtl-otto timer driver along with the DT bindings for the
   Realtek platform (Chris Packham)

12 Jul 2024: vfs pidfs [+ + +]
/* Summary */
This contains work to make it possible to derive namespace file descriptors
from pidfd file descriptors.

Right now it is already possible to use a pidfd with setns() to atomically
change multiple namespaces at the same time. In other words, it is possible to
switch to the namespace context of a process using a pidfd. There is no need to
first open namespace file descriptors via procfs.

The work included here is an extension of these abilities by allowing to open
namespace file descriptors using a pidfd. This means it is now possible to
interact with namespaces without ever touching procfs.

To this end a new set of ioctls() on pidfds is introduced covering all
supported namespace types.

vfs-6.11.pidfs

12 Jul 2024: vfs nsfs [+ + +]
/* Summary */
This adds ioctls allowing to translate PIDs between PID namespaces.

The motivating use-case comes from LXCFS which is a tiny fuse filesystem used
to virtualize various aspects of procfs. LXCFS is run on the host. The files
and directories it creates can be bind-mounted by e.g. a container at startup
and mounted over the various procfs files the container wishes to have
virtualized.

When e.g. a read request for uptime is received, LXCFS will receive the pid of
the reader. In order to virtualize the corresponding read, LXCFS needs to know
the pid of the init process of the reader's pid namespace.

In order to do this, LXCFS first needs to fork() two helper processes. The
first helper process setns() to the readers pid namespace. The second helper
process is needed to create a process that is a proper member of the pid
namespace.

The second helper process then creates a ucred message with ucred.pid set to 1
and sends it back to LXCFS. The kernel will translate the ucred.pid field to
the corresponding pid number in LXCFS's pid namespace. This way LXCFS can learn
the init pid number of the reader's pid namespace and can go on to virtualize.

Since these two forks() are costly LXCFS maintains an init pid cache that
caches a given pid for a fixed amount of time. The cache is pruned during new
read requests. However, even with the cache the hit of the two forks() is
singificant when a very large number of containers are running.

So this adds a simple set of ioctls that let's a caller translate PIDs from and
into a given PID namespace. This significantly improves performance with a very
simple change.

To protect against races pidfds can be used to check whether the process is
still valid.

- Add documentaiton on the design of iomap and how to port to it.

- Optimize iomap_read_folio().

- Bring back the change to iomap_write_end() to no increase i_size. This is

vfs-6.11.iomap

12 Jul 2024: vfs mount [+ + +]
/* Summary */
This contains work to extend the abilities of listmount() and statmount() and
various fixes and cleanups.

Features:

- Allow iterating through mounts via listmount() from newest to oldest. This
  makes it possible for mount(8) to keep iterating the mount table in reverse
  order so it gets newest mounts first.

- Relax permissions on listmount() and statmount(). It's not necessary to have
  capabilities in the initial namespace. It's sufficient to have capabilities
  in the owning namespace of the mount namespace we're located in to list
  unreachable mounts in that namespace.

- Extend both listmount() and statmount() to list and stat mounts in foreign
  mount namespaces.

  Currently the only way to iterate over mount entries in mount namespaces that
  aren't in the caller's mount namespace is by crawling through /proc in order
  to find /proc/<pid>/mountinfo for the relevant mount namespace. This is both
  very clumsy and hugely inefficient. So extend struct mnt_id_req with a new
  member that allows to specify the mount namespace id of the mount namespace
  we want to look at.

  Luckily internally we already have most of the infrastructure for this so we
  just need to expose it to userspace. Give userspace a way to retrieve the id
  of a mount namespace via statmount() and through a new nsfs ioctl() on mount
  namespace file descriptor.

  This comes with appropriate selftests.

- Expose mount options through statmount().

  Currently if userspace wants to get mount options for a mount and with
  statmount(), they still have to open /proc/<pid>/mountinfo to parse mount
  options. Simply the information through statmount() directly.

  Afterwards it's possible to only rely on statmount() and listmount() to
  retrieve all and more information than /proc/<pid>/mountinfo provides.           

  This comes with appropriate selftests.

Fixes:

- Avoid copying to userspace under the namespace semaphore in listmount.

Cleanups:

- Simplify the error handling in listmount by relying on our newly added
  cleanup infrastructure.

- Refuse invalid mount ids early for both listmount and statmount.

vfs-6.11.mount

12 Jul 2024: vfs procfs [+ + +]
/* Summary */
This contains work to allow restricting access to /proc/<pid>/mem. Over the
years various exploits started abusing /proc/<pid>/mem (cf. [1] and [2]).
Specifically [2] is interesting as it installed an arbitrary payload from
noexec storage into a running process and then executed it. That payload itself
included an ELF loader to run arbitrary code off of noexec storage.

The biggest problem is that /proc/<pid>/mem ignores page permissions by using
FOLL_FORCE which was discussed several times on- and off-list.

Unfortunately there are various use-cases using /proc/<pid>/mem making it
impossible to just turn it off. They at least include PTRACE_POKEDATA and the
seccomp notifier which is used to emulate system calls.

So give userspace a way to restrict access to /proc/<pid>/mem via kernel
command line options. Setting them to "all" restricts access for all processes
while "ptracer" will allow access to ptracers:

(1) Restrict the use of FOLL_FORCE via proc_mem.restrict_foll_force
(2) Restrict opening /proc/<pid>/mem for reading.
(3) Restrict opening /proc/<pid>/mem for writing.
(4) Restrict writing to /proc/<pid>/mem.

---

The level of fine-grained management isn't my favorite as it requires
distributions to have some level of knowledge around the implications of
FOLL_FORCE and /proc/<pid>/mem access in general. But the use-cases where
/proc/<pid>/mem access is needed do already imply a sophisticated knowledge
around its implications. Especially when it comes to the seccomp notifier and
gdb to inspect or emulate process state. So that ultimately swayed me to accept
this. If we need something simpler I'm all ears.

vfs-6.11.procfs

12 Jul 2024: vfs inode [+ + +]
/* Summary */
This contains smaller performance improvements to inodes and dentries:

# inode:

- Add rcu based inode lookup variants. They avoid one inode hash lock acquire
  in the common case thereby significantly reducing contention. We already
  support RCU-based operations but didn't take advantage of them during inode
  insertion.

  Callers of iget_locked() get the improvement without any code changes.
  Callers that need a custom callback can switch to iget5_locked_rcu() as e.g.,
  did btrfs.

  With 20 threads each walking a dedicated 1000 dirs * 1000 files directory
  tree to stat(2) on a 32 core + 24GB ram vm:

  before: 3.54s user 892.30s system 1966% cpu 45.549 total
  after:  3.28s user 738.66s system 1955% cpu 37.932 total (-16.7%)

  Long-term we should pick up the effort to introduce more fine-grained locking
  and possibly improve on the currently used hash implementation.

- Start zeroing i_state in inode_init_always() instead of doing it in
  individual filesystems. This allows us to remove an unneeded lock acquire in
  new_inode() and not burden individual filesystems with this.

dcache:

- Move d_lockref out of the area used by RCU lookup to avoid cacheline ping
  poing because the embedded name is sharing a cacheline with d_lockref.

- Fix dentry size on 32bit with CONFIG_SMP=y so it does actually end up with
  128 bytes in total.

Merge conflicts with other trees

Merge conflicts with mainline

This causes a merge conflict with fs/bcachefs/fs.c. The gist is that
inode->i_state initialization in __bch2_new_inode() isn't needed anymore after
this is merged and that line needs to be deleted from that function.

- Add a generic helper to parse uid and gid mount options. Currently we
  open-code the same logic in various filesystems which is error prone.
  Especially since the verification of uid and gid mount options is a sensitive
  operation in the face of idmappings. Add a generic helper and convert all
  filesystems over to it. Make sure that filesystems that are mountable in
  unprivileged containers verify that the specified uid and gid can be
  represented in the owning namespace of the filesystem.

- Convert hostfs to the new mount api.

/* Summary */
This contains some work to simplify the handling of casefolded names:

- Simplify the handling of casefolded names in f2fs and ext4 by keeping the
  names as a qstr to avoiding unnecessary conversions.

- Introduce a new generic_ci_match() libfs case-insensitive lookup helper and
  use it in both f2fs and ext4 allowing to remove the filesystem specific
  implementations.

- Remove a bunch of ifdefs by making the unicode built checks part of the code
  flow.

vfs-6.11.pg_error

12 Jul 2024: vfs misc [+ + +]
/* Summary */
Features:

- Support passing NULL along AT_EMPTY_PATH for statx(). NULL paths with any
  flag value other than AT_EMPTY_PATH go the usual route and end up with
  -EFAULT to retain compatibility (Rust is abusing calls of the sort to detect
  availability of statx).

  This avoids path lookup code, lockref management, memory allocation and in
  case of NULL path userspace memory access (which can be quite expensive with
  SMAP on x86_64).

- Don't block i_writecount during exec. Remove the deny_write_access()
  mechanism for executables.

- Relax open_by_handle_at() permissions in specific cases where we can prove
  that the caller had sufficient privileges to open a file.

- Switch timespec64 fields in struct inode to discrete integers freeing up 4
  bytes.

Fixes:

- Fix false positive circular locking warning in hfsplus.

- Initialize hfs_inode_info after hfs_alloc_inode() in hfs.

- Avoid accidental overflows in vfs_fallocate().

- Don't interrupt fallocate with EINTR in tmpfs to avoid constantly restarting
  shmem_fallocate().

- Add missing quote in comment in fs/readdir.

Cleanups:
- Don't assign and test in an if statement in mqueue. Move the assignment out
  of the if statement.

- Reflow the logic in may_create_in_sticky().

- Remove the usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API from procfs.

- Reject FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL requets that depend on the new mount api early.

- Rename variables in copy_tree() to make it easier to understand.

- Replace WARN(down_read_trylock, ...) abuse with proper asserts in various
  places in the VFS.

- Get rid of user_path_at_empty() and drop the empty argument from
  getname_flags().

- Check for error while copying and no path in one branch in getname_flags().

- Avoid redundant smp_mb() for THP handling in do_dentry_open().

- Rename parent_ino to d_parent_ino and make it use RCU.

- Remove unused header include in fs/readdir.

- Export in_group_capable() helper and switch f2fs and fuse over to it instead
  of open-coding the logic in both places.

12 Jul 2024: power sequencing updates for v6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <[email protected]>


I'm sending this early as this is the initial pull-request for a new driver
subsystem living under drivers/power/sequencing/. I'll try to be brief here
and allow myself to link the cover letter from the last time the series was
sent in its entirety[1] (as opposed to smaller chunks targetting specific
maintainers) for a very detailed description of the problem and the solution.
I'll just stick to the key points below.

This has been in development since last year's Linux Plumbers Conference and
was inspired by the need to enable support upstream for Bluetooth/WLAN chips
on Qualcomm platforms.

The main problem we're fixing is powering up devices which are represented as
separate objects in the kernel (binding to different drivers) but which share
parts of the power-up sequence and thus need some kind of a mediator who knows
the possible interactions and can assure they don't interfere with neither
device's bring up. An example of such an inter-driver interaction is the WCN
family of BT/WLAN chips from Qualcomm of which some models require the user to
observe a certain delay between driving the bt-enable and wlan-enable GPIOs.

This is not a new problem but up to this point all attempts at addressing it
ended up hitting one wall or another and being dropped. The main obstacle was
the fact that most these attempts tried to introduce the concept of a "power
sequence" into the device-tree bindings which breaks the main DT rule:
describe the hardware, not its behavior. The solution I proposed focuses on
making the power sequencer drivers interpret the actual HW description
flexibly. More details on that are in the linked cover letter.

The second problem fixed here is powering up PCI devices before they are
detected on the bus. This is achieved by creating special platform devices
for device-tree nodes describing hard-wired PCI devices which bind to the
so-called PCI power control drivers which enable required resources and
trigger a bus rescan once the controlled device is up then setup the correct
devlink hierarchy for power-management.

By combining the two new frameworks we implemented the power sequencing PCI
power control driver which is capable of powering up the WLAN modules of the
QCom WCN family of chipsets.

All this has spent a significant amount of time in linux-next and enabled
WLAN/BT support on several Qualcomm platforms. To further prove that this is
useful and needed: right after this was picked up into next, I was sent
a series using the subsystem for a similar use-case on Amlogic platforms[2].

This PR contains the core power sequencing framework, the first driver, PCI
changes using the pwrseq library (blessed by Bjorn Helgaas) and some fixes
that came later.

You'll also see the pwrseq core pulled into the Bluetooth tree to satisfy the
build-time dependency on power sequencing in the hci_qca driver which uses the
same power sequence provider as the PCI pwrctl driver added in this PR.

More changes that don't have build-time dependencies on pwrseq are scattered
across three other maintainer trees: there will be DT bindings in the
regulator and wireless trees and DTS changes in the arm64 tree.

Please consider pulling for v6.11.

Bartosz Golaszewski

11 Jul 2024: arm64 updates for 6.11 [+ + +]
I'm about to go on holiday for two weeks, so here's an early pull
request for 6.11. The biggest part is the virtual CPU hotplug that
touches ACPI, irqchip. We also have some GICv3 optimisation for
pseudo-NMIs that has been queued via the arm64 tree. Otherwise the usual
perf updates, kselftest, various small cleanups. There's a minor
conflict currently in -next with the kvmarm tree but it's trivial (in
arch/arm64/include/asm/esr.h).

I'll check emails occasionally during the merging window but if there's
anything urgent, Will can take over.

Thanks.

arm64 updates for 6.11:

* Virtual CPU hotplug support for arm64 ACPI systems

* cpufeature infrastructure cleanups and making the FEAT_ECBHB ID bits
  visible to guests

* CPU errata: expand the speculative SSBS workaround to more CPUs

* arm64 ACPI:

  - acpi=nospcr option to disable SPCR as default console for arm64

  - Move some ACPI code (cpuidle, FFH) to drivers/acpi/arm64/

* GICv3, use compile-time PMR values: optimise the way regular IRQs are
  masked/unmasked when GICv3 pseudo-NMIs are used, removing the need for
  a static key in fast paths by using a priority value chosen
  dynamically at boot time

* arm64 perf updates:

  - Rework of the IMX PMU driver to enable support for I.MX95

  - Enable support for tertiary match groups in the CMN PMU driver

  - Initial refactoring of the CPU PMU code to prepare for the fixed
    instruction counter introduced by Arm v9.4

  - Add missing PMU driver MODULE_DESCRIPTION() strings

  - Hook up DT compatibles for recent CPU PMUs

* arm64 kselftest updates:

  - Kernel mode NEON fp-stress

  - Cleanups, spelling mistakes

* arm64 Documentation update with a minor clarification on TBI

* Miscellaneous:

  - Fix missing IPI statistics

  - Implement raw_smp_processor_id() using thread_info rather than a
    per-CPU variable (better code generation)

  - Make MTE checking of in-kernel asynchronous tag faults conditional
    on KASAN being enabled

  - Minor cleanups, typos

2 Jul 2024: clk: samsung: drivers for v6.11 [+ + +]
Samsung SoC clock drivers changes for 6.11

1. exynos-clkout: Remove usage of of_device_id table as .of_match_table,
   because the driver is instantiated as MFD cell, not as standalone
   platform driver.  Populated .of_match_table confused people few times
   to convert the code to device_get_match_data(), which broke the
   driver.

2. Mark one of UFS clocks as critical, because having it off stops the
   system from shutdown.

3. Cleanup: Use kmemdup_array() when applicable.

25 Jun 2024: Linux Media vimc update for 6.11-rc1 [+ + +]
Hi Mauro,


This vimc update for Linux 6.11-rc1 consists of a nine patch series
that cleans up and improves the vimc driver, with the end goal of
converting it to the V4L2 subdev active state API. The goal of
this exercise is to make the API used by a virtual test driver, to
increase test coverage.

The series starts with 4 random cleanups, to avoid unnecessary
iterations (1/9), constify structures (2/9 and 3/9) and rename a
weirdly-named enum (4/9). Patch 5/9 then centralizes the subdev
internal_ops initialization to prepare for the switch to the active
state API. The remaining patches (6/9 to 9/9) convert the vimc entities
to the new API one by one.

The result has been tested using the libcamera unit tests, which make
extensive use of the vimc driver, as well as with v4l2-compliance. The
latter reports 4 errors, but they occur already with the latest stage
master branch.
