e991acf1bc Significant patch series in this pull request:
- The 2 patch series "squashfs: Remove page->mapping references" from
   Matthew Wilcox gets us closer to being able to remove page->mapping.
 
 - The 5 patch series "relayfs: misc changes" from Jason Xing does some
   maintenance and minor feature addition work in relayfs.
 
 - The 5 patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA" from Jiri
   Bohac switches us from static preallocation of the kdump crashkernel's
   working memory over to dynamic allocation.  So the difficulty of
   a-priori estimation of the second kernel's needs is removed and the
   first kernel obtains extra memory.
 
 - The 5 patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used
   by other kernel parts" from Feng Tang implements some consolidation and
   rationalizatio of the various ways in which a faiing kernel splats
   information at the operator.

57fbad15c2 stackleak: Rename STACKLEAK to KSTACK_ERASE
In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:

- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
  implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
  stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
  but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
  for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
  many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.

While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

d747755917 panic: add 'panic_sys_info' sysctl to take human readable string parameter
Bitmap definition for 'panic_print' is hard to remember and decode.  Add
'panic_sys_info='sysctl to take human readable string like
"tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,..." and translate it into bitmap.

The detailed mapping is:
	SYS_INFO_TASKS		"tasks"
	SYS_INFO_MEM		"mem"
	SYS_INFO_TIMERS		"timers"
	SYS_INFO_LOCKS		"locks"
	SYS_INFO_FTRACE		"ftrace"

261743b013 panic: clean up code for console replay
Patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used by other
kernel parts", v3.

When working on kernel stability issues, panic, task-hung and
software/hardware lockup are frequently met.  And to debug them, user may
need lots of system information at that time, like task call stacks, lock
info, memory info etc.  

panic case already has panic_print_sys_info() for this purpose, and has a
'panic_print' bitmask to control what kinds of information is needed,
which is also helpful to debug other task-hung and lockup cases.

So this patchset extracts the function out to a new file 'lib/sys_info.c',
and makes it available for other cases which also need to dump system info
for debugging.  

Also as suggested by Petr Mladek, add 'panic_sys_info=' interface to take
human readable string like "tasks,mem,locks,timers,ftrace,....", and
eventually obsolete the current 'panic_print' bitmap interface.

In RFC and V1 version, hung_task and SW/HW watchdog modules are enabled
with the new sys_info dump interface.  In v2, they are kept out for better
review of current change, and will be posted later.  

Locally these have been used in our bug chasing for stability issues and
was proven helpful.

Many thanks to Petr Mladek for great suggestions on both the code and
architectures!


This patch (of 5):

Currently the panic_print_sys_info() was called twice with different
parameters to handle console replay case, which is kind of confusing.

Add panic_console_replay() explicitly and rename
'PANIC_PRINT_ALL_PRINTK_MSG' to 'PANIC_CONSOLE_REPLAY', to make the code
straightforward.  The related kernel document is also updated.

00c010e130 - The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a
   folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must
   implement to provide this.
 
 - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox
   is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which
   clean things up and better prepare us for future work.
 
 - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment
   advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from
   leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not
   aligned to memory block size.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive
   compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly,
   hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation
   of proactive compaction.  In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest
   VM's memory consumption was dramatic.
 
 - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing
   code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
   improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
 
 - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
   from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
   arguments.  At this time we can alter only "system call information that
   are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
   syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
 
   This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
   branch, but I goofed.
 
 - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
   guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
   PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap.  This permits CRIU to more
   efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
   from Gavin Shan implements that fix.  No runtime effect is expected
   because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
 
 - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
   rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
   the current decade.  Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
   favor of using more current facilities.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
   from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
   pte dumping code.  This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
   Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
 
 - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
   from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
   kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables".  This permits the
   addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
   tables".  This change does result in various architectures performing
   unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
 
 - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
   mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
   structures.
 
 - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
   which we've been missing for 15 years.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
   and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
   flushing.  Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
   we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries.  The syscall's cost
   was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
   load this particular operation.
 
 - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
   counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
   preallocation.  stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
   percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was
   dramaticelly reduced.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
   Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when
   reading the code.
 
 - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
   weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
   policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,
   fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory
   hotplug support".  Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to
   hit.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
   including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
   goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
   utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
   Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
   Baoquan found via code inspection.
 
 - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
   from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
   during demotion when possible".  because "presently, reclaim explicitly
   ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
   settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
   multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
 
 - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
   unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
   efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
   creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
   utilization.
 
 - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
   lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
   argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.  This directs proactive
   reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
 
 - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
   Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
   maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
   kexec.  At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
   Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
   By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
 
 - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to
   one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless
   VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.  Dramatic
   performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
 
 - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for
   jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs
   during memory compaction when using JFS.
 
 - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication

   Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
   memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
   block size.

 - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
   Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
   sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
   compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
   memory consumption was dramatic.

 - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
   Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
   this part of our swap handling code.

 - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
   adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
   time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
   strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
   arguments, and syscall return value.

   This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
   branch, but I goofed.

 - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
   Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
   against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
   at the info about guard regions.

 - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
   implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
   validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.

 - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
   Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
   decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
   using more current facilities.

 - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
   Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
   code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
   enabled for ARM.

 - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
   ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
   it already is for user pgtables.

   This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
   to protect page tables". This change does result in various
   architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
   it is anticipated to occur.

   Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.

 - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
   been missing for 15 years.

 - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
   SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.

   Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
   batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
   was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
   load this particular operation.

 - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
   Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
   preallocation.

   stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
   the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
   reduced.

 - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
   a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.

 - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
   from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
   management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
   leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
   support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.

 - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
   from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
   eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
   for memory tiering.

 - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
   provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
   found via code inspection.

 - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
   changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
   possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
   cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
   settings to violated.

   This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
   certain classes of memory more consistently.

 - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
   pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
   in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.

 - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
   for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.

 - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
   Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
   for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.

   This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
   rather than file-backed folios.

 - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
   first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
   VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
   time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.

 - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides

vfs: Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations
On our HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, a HDFS datanode[0] startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including dentries
and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2 million files,
resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries after initialization.

To minimize dentry reclamation, we set vfs_cache_pressure to 1. Despite
this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still trigger
reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the cache from 20
million to approximately 10 million entries. During the subsequent cache
rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart operation incurs substantial
latency penalties until full cache recovery completes.

To maintain service stability, we need to preserve more dentries during
memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100 of total
dentries) remains too aggressive for our workload. This patch introduces
vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache pressure control. The
configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1, vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000]
effectively maintains the full 20 million dentry cache under memory
pressure, preventing datanode restart performance degradation.

9b17cb59a7 fuse: add default_request_timeout and max_request_timeout sysctls
Introduce two new sysctls, "default_request_timeout" and
"max_request_timeout". These control how long (in seconds) a server can
take to reply to a request. If the server does not reply by the timeout,
then the connection will be aborted. The upper bound on these sysctl
values is 65535.

"default_request_timeout" sets the default timeout if no timeout is
specified by the fuse server on mount. 0 (default) indicates no default
timeout should be enforced. If the server did specify a timeout, then
default_request_timeout will be ignored.

"max_request_timeout" sets the max amount of time the server may take to
reply to a request. 0 (default) indicates no maximum timeout. If
max_request_timeout is set and the fuse server attempts to set a
timeout greater than max_request_timeout, the system will use
max_request_timeout as the timeout. Similarly, if default_request_timeout
is greater than max_request_timeout, the system will use
max_request_timeout as the timeout. If the server does not request a
timeout and default_request_timeout is set to 0 but max_request_timeout
is set, then the timeout will be max_request_timeout.

Please note that these timeouts are not 100% precise. The request may
take roughly an extra FUSE_TIMEOUT_TIMER_FREQ seconds beyond the set max
timeout due to how it's internally implemented.

$ sysctl -a | grep fuse.default_request_timeout
fs.fuse.default_request_timeout = 0

$ echo 65536 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/default_request_timeout
tee: /proc/sys/fs/fuse/default_request_timeout: Invalid argument

e3aa7df331 mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode
The page allocator groups requests by migratetype to stave off
fragmentation.  However, in practice this is routinely defeated by the
fact that it gives up *before* invoking reclaim and compaction - which may
well produce suitable pages.  As a result, fragmentation of physical
memory is a common ongoing process in many load scenarios.

Fragmentation deteriorates compaction's ability to produce huge pages. 
Depending on the lifetime of the fragmenting allocations, those effects
can be long-lasting or even permanent, requiring drastic measures like
forcible idle states or even reboots as the only reliable ways to recover
the address space for THP production.

In a kernel build test with supplemental THP pressure, the THP allocation
rate steadily declines over 15 runs:

    thp_fault_alloc
    61988
    56474
    57258
    50187
    52388
    55409
    52925
    47648
    43669
    40621
    36077
    41721
    36685
    34641
    33215

This is a hurdle in adopting THP in any environment where hosts are shared
between multiple overlapping workloads (cloud environments), and rarely
experience true idle periods.  To make THP a reliable and predictable
optimization, there needs to be a stronger guarantee to avoid such
fragmentation.

Introduce defrag_mode.  When enabled, reclaim/compaction is invoked to its
full extent *before* falling back.  Specifically, ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT is
enforced on the allocator fastpath and the reclaiming slowpath.

For now, fallbacks are permitted to avert OOMs.  There is a plan to add
defrag_mode=2 to prefer OOMs over fragmentation, but this requires
additional prep work in compaction and the reserve management to make it
ready for all possible allocation contexts.

The following test results are from a kernel build with periodic bursts of
THP allocations, over 15 runs:

                                        vanilla    defrag_mode=1
@claimer[unmovable]:                        189              103

@pollute[unmovable from movable]:            25                0

@pollute[reclaimable from movable]:          33                0
@steal[unmovable from movable]:              11                0
@steal[unmovable from reclaimable]:           5                0
@steal[reclaimable from unmovable]:         107                0
@steal[reclaimable from movable]:            90                0
@steal[movable from reclaimable]:           354                0
@steal[movable from unmovable]:             130                0

Both types of polluting fallbacks are eliminated in this workload.

Interestingly, whole block conversions are reduced as well.  This is
because once a block is claimed for a type, its empty space remains
available for future allocations, instead of being padded with fallbacks;
this allows the native type to group up instead of spreading out to new
blocks.  The assumption in the allocator has been that pollution from
movable allocations is less harmful than from other types, since they can
be reclaimed or migrated out should the space be needed.  However, since
fallbacks occur *before* reclaim/compaction is invoked, movable pollution
will still cause non-movable allocations to spread out and claim more
blocks.

Without fragmentation, THP rates hold steady with defrag_mode=1:

    thp_fault_alloc
    32478
    20725
    45045
    32130
    14018
    21711
    40791
    29134
    34458
    45381
    28305
    17265
    22584
    28454
    30850

While the downward trend is eliminated, the keen reader will of course
notice that the baseline rate is much smaller than the vanilla kernel's to
begin with.  This is due to deficiencies in how reclaim and compaction are
currently driven: ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT increases the extent to which smaller
allocations are competing with THPs for pageblocks, while making no effort
themselves to reclaim or compact beyond their own request size.  This
effect already exists with the current usage of ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT, but is
amplified by defrag_mode insisting on whole block stealing much more
strongly.

Subsequent patches will address defrag_mode reclaim strategy to raise the
THP success baseline above the vanilla kernel.

2b3933b1e0 fuse: enable dynamic configuration of fuse max pages limit (FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES)
Introduce the capability to dynamically configure the max pages limit
(FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES) through a sysctl. This allows system administrators
to dynamically set the maximum number of pages that can be used for
servicing requests in fuse.

Previously, this is gated by FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES which is statically set
to 256 pages. One result of this is that the buffer size for a write
request is limited to 1 MiB on a 4k-page system.

The default value for this sysctl is the original limit (256 pages).

$ sysctl -a | grep max_pages_limit
fs.fuse.max_pages_limit = 256

$ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit
256

$ echo 1024 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit
1024

$ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit
1024

$ echo 65536 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit

vfs: Add a sysctl for automated deletion of dentry
Commit 681ce86235 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when deleting a
file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the associated dentry when a
file is removed. However, this led to performance regressions in specific
benchmarks, such as ilebench.sum_operations/s [0], prompting a revert in
commit 4a4be1ad3a ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file"").

This patch seeks to reintroduce the concept conditionally, where the
associated dentry is deleted only when the user explicitly opts for it
during file removal. A new sysctl fs.automated_deletion_of_dentry is
added for this purpose. Its default value is set to 0.

There are practical use cases for this proactive dentry reclamation.
Besides the Elasticsearch use case mentioned in commit 681ce86235,
additional examples have surfaced in our production environment. For
instance, in video rendering services that continuously generate temporary
files, upload them to persistent storage servers, and then delete them, a
large number of negative dentries—serving no useful purpose—accumulate.
Users in such cases would benefit from proactively reclaiming these
negative dentries.

f122668ddc ARC: Add eBPF JIT support
This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.

The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:

test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120  224  260 PASS

test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1  23 PASS

test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS

Deployment and structure
------------------------
The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net":

- bpf_jit.h       -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide
- bpf_jit_core.c  -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream
- bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic

The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance
to the whole process. Normally, the translation is done in one pass,
namely the "normal pass". In case some relocations are not known during
this pass, some data (arc_jit_data) is allocated for the next pass to
come. This possible next (and last) pass is called the "extra pass".

1. Normal pass       # The necessary pass
     1a. Dry run       # Get the whole JIT length, epilogue offset, etc.
     1b. Emit phase    # Allocate memory and start emitting instructions
2. Extra pass        # Only needed if there are relocations to be fixed
     2a. Patch relocations

Support status
--------------
The JIT compiler supports BPF instructions up to "cpu=v4". However, it
does not yet provide support for:

- Tail calls
- Atomic operations
- 64-bit division/remainder
- BPF_PROBE_MEM* (exception table)

The result of "test_bpf" test suite on an HSDK board is:

hsdk-lnx# insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf

  test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]

All the failing test cases are due to the ones that were not JIT'ed.
Categorically, they can be represented as:

  .-----------.------------.-------------.
  | test type |   opcodes  | # of cases  |
  |-----------+------------+-------------|
  | atomic    | 0xC3, 0xDB |         149 |
  | div64     | 0x37, 0x3F |          22 |
  | mod64     | 0x97, 0x9F |          15 |
  `-----------^------------+-------------|
                           | (total) 186 |
                           `-------------'

Setup: build config
-------------------
The following configs must be set to have a working JIT test:

  CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
  CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
  CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m

The following options are not necessary for the tests module,
but are good to have:

  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y             # prerequisite for below
  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y         # so bpftool can generate vmlinux.h

  CONFIG_FTRACE=y                 #
  CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y            # all these options lead to
  CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y          # having CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
  CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y            #

Some BPF programs provide data through /sys/kernel/debug:
  CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
arc# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug

Setup: elfutils
---------------
The libdw.{so,a} library that is used by pahole for processing
the final binary must come from elfutils 0.189 or newer. The
support for ARCv2 [1] has been added since that version.

[1]
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commit;h=de3d46b3e7

Setup: pahole
-------------
The line below in linux/scripts/Makefile.btf must be commented out:

pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 121) += --btf_gen_floats

Or else, the build will fail:

$ make V=1
  ...
  BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
pahole -J --btf_gen_floats                    \
       -j --lang_exclude=rust                 \
       --skip_encoding_btf_inconsistent_proto \
       --btf_gen_optimized .tmp_vmlinux.btf
Complex, interval and imaginary float types are not supported
Encountered error while encoding BTF.
  ...
  BTFIDS  vmlinux
./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: No data available

This is due to the fact that the ARC toolchains generate
"complex float" DIE entries in libgcc and at the moment, pahole
can't handle such entries.

Running the tests
-----------------
host$ scp /bld/linux/lib/test_bpf.ko arc:
arc # sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable=1
arc # insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf
      ...
      test_bpf: #1048 Staggered jumps: JMP32_JSLE_X jited:1 697811 PASS
      test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]

22d407b164 lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling
Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily
instrument memory allocators.  It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type
with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when
the feature is enabled.

CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory
allocation profiling instrumentation.

Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation
profiling by default.

ad584d73a2 Tracing updates for 6.9:
Main user visible change:
 
 - User events can now have "multi formats"
 
   The current user events have a single format. If another event is created
   with a different format, it will fail to be created. That is, once an
   event name is used, it cannot be used again with a different format. This
   can cause issues if a library is using an event and updates its format.
   An application using the older format will prevent an application using
   the new library from registering its event.
 
   A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event names, and
   it creates events with different formats.
 
   The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
   format. Both the event name and its format are the unique identifier.
   This will allow two different applications to use the same user event name
   but with different payloads.
 
 - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
   not just the main top level tracing buffer.
 
 Other changes:
 
 - Add eventfs_root_inode
 
   Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away) and
   stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands of other
   eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set in its
   descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a eventfs_inode
   descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root inode will use this.
 
 - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs
 
   There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be hit,
   but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to make sure that
   they are never hit.
 
 - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid array
 
   The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to hold its
   mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already apart of it:
   map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory can be saved by
   also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as well.
 
 - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in TRACE_EVENT().
 
   Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:
 
       __string(name, source)
 
   And assigned with:
 
      __assign_str(name, source)
 
   In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to get the
   size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and __assign_str() is used to
   copy the string into the ring buffer. There's a helper structure that is
   created in the TRACE_EVENT() macro logic that will hold the string length
   and its position in the ring buffer which is created by __string().
 
   There are several trace events that have a function to create the string
   to save. This function is executed twice. Once for __string() and again
   for __assign_str(). There's no reason for this. The helper structure could
   also save the string it used in __string() and simply copy that into
   __assign_str() (it also already has its length).
 
   By using the structure to store the source string for the assignment, it
   means that the second argument to __assign_str() is no longer needed.
 
   It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a warning if
   the source string given to __string() is different than the source string
   given to __assign_str(), as the source to __assign_str() isn't even used
   and will be going away.
 
 - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
   source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the next
   merge window.
 
   Included fixes that the above check found.
 
 - Other minor clean ups and fixes

19f0423fd5 tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oops
Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For
debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to
check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for
other purposes.

This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific
or multiple trace instances:

  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer
  on all CPUs
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global
  trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the
  tracing instance matching <instance_name>
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu],
  <instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace
  buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU
  that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given

Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

12a686c2e7 net: make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable
This patch adds /proc/sys/net/core/mem_pcpu_rsv sysctl file,
to make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable.

Commit 3cd3399dd7 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for
memory_allocated") introduced per-cpu forward alloc cache:

"Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number
of changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated, which
would otherwise be cause of false sharing."

sk_prot->memory_allocated points to global atomic variable:
atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB,
changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated can be further reduced.
Performance may be improved on system with many cores.

2e3fc6ca52 panic: add option to dump blocked tasks in panic_print
For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of
panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks.  On today's large servers
running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and
this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for
serial console which is main target user case of panic_print).

And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the
panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

9220066ea8 docs: add information about ipc sysctls limitations
After 25b21cb2f6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111b
("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped being
global and started counting per ipc namespace.  The documentation and
shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option.

shmget(2):

SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured in
units of the system page size.  On Linux, this limit can be read and
modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall.

I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.

89ed67ef12 Networking changes for 6.7.
Core & protocols
 ----------------
 
  - Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by
    a route attribute.
 
  - Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
    a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
    on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
 
  - The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
    - add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
    - support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
    - improve inactive flow reporting
    - optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality
 
  - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
    replacement for the old MD5 option.
 
  - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to TCP_INFO.
 
  - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.
 
  - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was shutdown().
 
  - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
    Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.
 
  - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.
 
  - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.
 
  - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
    limit the number of wakeups.
 
  - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
    space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
    table.
 
  - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.
 
  - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.
 
  - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were created
    via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at runtime.
 
  - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
    filters.
 
  - MCTP over I3C.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic
    of the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.
 
  - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should
    never be true but are hard for the verifier to infer.
    With some extra flexibility around handling of the exit / failure.
    https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/
 
  - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
    per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on
    the value for the current CPU. This allows to deprecate local
    one-off implementations of per-CPU storage like
    BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.
 
  - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
    for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
    running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
    of different services.
 
  - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
    made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.
 
  - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support.
    One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.
 
  - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().
 
  - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.
 
  - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
    fentry/fexit programs.
 
  - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed kprobe
    executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.
 
  - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.
 
  - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.
 
 Changes to common code
 ----------------------
 
  - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs
    with flexible array members.
 
  - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
    mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.
 
  - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring
    and querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization,
    in network time distribution.
 
  - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
    Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.
 
  - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().
 
  - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
    correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC addresses.
 
  - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.
 
  - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().
 
  - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.
 
 Misc
 ----
 
  - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.
 
  - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.
 
  - A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.
 
  - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.
 
  - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

   - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
     replacement for the old MD5 option.

   - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
     TCP_INFO.

   - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

   - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
     shutdown().

   - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
     Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

   - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

   - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

   - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
     limit the number of wakeups.

   - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
     space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
     table.

   - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

   - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

   - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
     created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
     runtime.

   - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
     filters.

   - MCTP over I3C.

  BPF:

   - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
     the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

   - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
     be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
     flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

          https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

   - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
     per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
     value for the current CPU.

     This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
     storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

   - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
     for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
     running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
     of different services.

   - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
     made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

   - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
     use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

   - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

   - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

   - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
     fentry/fexit programs.

   - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
     kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

   - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

   - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

  Changes to common code:

   - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
     flexible array members.

   - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

  Driver API:

   - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
     mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

   - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
     querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
     network time distribution.

   - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
     Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

   - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

   - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
     correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
     addresses.

   - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

   - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

   - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

  Misc:

   - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

   - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

   - A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.

   - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

   - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

8f833c82cd sched/topology: Change behaviour of the 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl, based on the platform
The 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl is available for the admin to disable/enable
energy aware scheduling(EAS). EAS is enabled only if few conditions are
met by the platform. They are, asymmetric CPU capacity, no SMT,
schedutil CPUfreq governor, frequency invariant load tracking etc.
A platform may boot without EAS capability, but could gain such
capability at runtime. For example, changing/registering the cpufreq
governor to schedutil.

At present, though platform doesn't support EAS, this sysctl returns 1
and it ends up calling build_perf_domains on write to 1 and
NOP when writing to 0. That is confusing and un-necessary.

Desired behavior would be to have this sysctl to enable/disable the EAS
on supported platform. On non-supported platform write to the sysctl
would return not supported error and read of the sysctl would return
empty. So sched_energy_aware returns empty - EAS is not possible at this moment
This will include EAS capable platforms which have at least one EAS
condition false during startup, e.g. not using the schedutil cpufreq governor
sched_energy_aware returns 0 - EAS is supported but disabled by admin.
sched_energy_aware returns 1 - EAS is supported and enabled.

User can find out the reason why EAS is not possible by checking
info messages. sched_is_eas_possible returns true if the platform
can do EAS at this moment.

Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A few fixes that should go into the 6.6-rc merge window:

   - Fix for a regression this merge window caused by the SQPOLL
     affinity patch, where we can race with SQPOLL thread shutdown and
     cause an oops when trying to set affinity (Gabriel)

   - Fix for a regression this merge window where fdinfo reading with
     for a ring setup with IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY will attempt to
     deference the non-existing SQ ring array (me)

   - Add the patch that allows more finegrained control over who can use
     io_uring (Matteo)

   - Locking fix for a regression added this merge window for IOPOLL
     overflow (Pavel)

   - IOPOLL fix for stable, breaking our loop if helper threads are
     exiting (Pavel)

  Also had a fix for unreaped iopoll requests from io-wq from Ming, but
  we found an issue with that and hence it got reverted. Will get this
  sorted for a future rc"

Introduce a new sysctl (io_uring_disabled) which can be either 0, 1, or
2. When 0 (the default), all processes are allowed to create io_uring
instances, which is the current behavior.  When 1, io_uring creation is
disabled (io_uring_setup() will fail with -EPERM) for unprivileged
processes not in the kernel.io_uring_group group.  When 2, calls to
io_uring_setup() fail with -EPERM regardless of privilege.

3a8a670eee Networking changes for 6.5.
Core
 ----
 
  - Rework the sendpage & splice implementations. Instead of feeding
    data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg handlers to support
    taking a reference on the data, controlled by a new flag called
    MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file
    to invoke an additional callback instead of trying to predict what
    the right combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is.
    Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely.
 
  - Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
    SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid.
 
  - Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT.
 
  - Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker.
 
  - Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families.
 
 Protocols
 ---------
 
  - Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
    sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
    tcp_rmem[2].
 
  - Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy.
 
  - Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
    that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags.
 
  - Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
    linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative.
 
  - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info (MPTCP_FULL_INFO).
 
  - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have
    a full record.
 
  - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving
    the way to issuing ioctls over io_uring.
 
  - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
    encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address.
 
  - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
    in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
    link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch.
 
  - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable.
 
  - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
    (ipconfig).
 
  - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
    (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
    packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge).
 
  - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets.
 
  - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
    printk level to debug.
 
  - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto.
 
  - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4.
 
  - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
    maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used,
    or in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
    especially those using open-coded iterators.
 
  - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
    assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
    But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what
    the output buffer *should* be, without writing anything.
 
  - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers.
 
  - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper.
 
  - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands.
 
  - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
    maps as read-only).
 
  - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo.
 
  - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are self-explanatory):
    - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
      bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
      and bpf_dynptr_clone().
    - bpf_task_under_cgroup()
    - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
    - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
    presence of an entry in a map without using the value.
 
  - Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds.
 
  - Allow updating size of a set.
 
  - Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
    "offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
    (i.e. packets coming in and out).
 
  - Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules.
 
  - Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
    common helper routines.
 
  - Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
    associated with the PCS layer.
 
  - Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
    scheduler offload (taprio).
 
  - Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs
    to fit into the message.
 
  - Split devlink instance and devlink port operations.

Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski:
 "WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this
  release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we
  got it to a reasonable point.

  Core:

   - Rework the sendpage & splice implementations

     Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg
     handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a
     new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

     Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an
     additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right
     combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is

     Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely

   - Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
     SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid

   - Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT

   - Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker

   - Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families

  Protocols:

   - Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
     sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
     tcp_rmem[2]

   - Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy

   - Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
     that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags

   - Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
     linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative

   - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info
     (MPTCP_FULL_INFO)

   - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full
     record

   - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the
     way to issuing ioctls over io_uring

   - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
     encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address

   - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
     in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
     link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch

   - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable

   - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
     (ipconfig)

   - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
     (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
     packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)

   - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets

   - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
     printk level to debug

   - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto

   - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4

   - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7

  BPF:

   - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
     maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or
     in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
     especially those using open-coded iterators

   - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
     assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
     But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the
     output buffer *should* be, without writing anything

   - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers

   - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper

   - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands

   - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
     maps as read-only)

   - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo

   - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are
     self-explanatory):
      - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
        bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
        and bpf_dynptr_clone().
      - bpf_task_under_cgroup()
      - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
      - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs

  Netfilter:

   - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
     presence of an entry in a map without using the value

   - Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds

   - Allow updating size of a set

   - Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing

  Driver API:

   - Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
     "offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
     (i.e. packets coming in and out)

   - Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules

   - Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
     common helper routines

   - Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
     associated with the PCS layer

   - Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
     scheduler offload (taprio)

   - Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs
     to fit into the message

   - Split devlink instance and devlink port operations

   - Ethernet:
      - Synopsys EMAC4 IP support (stmmac)

e4624435f3 docs: arm64: Move arm64 documentation under Documentation/arch/
Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/
as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making
the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy.  Move
Documentation/arm64 into arch/ (along with the Chinese equvalent
translations) and fix up documentation references.
