Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
- Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
- Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
- My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
together all types of supported module memory types in one data
structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
specific dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is
active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").
Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].
A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead"

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
"struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
for all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
of them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.

Add 2 early command line parameters that allow to downgrade satp mode
(using the same naming as x86):
- "no5lvl": use a 4-level page table (down from sv57 to sv48)
- "no4lvl": use a 3-level page table (down from sv57/sv48 to sv39)
Note that going through the device tree to get the kernel command line
works with ACPI too since the efi stub creates a device tree anyway with
the command line.
In KASAN kernels, we can't use the libfdt that early in the boot process
since we are not ready to execute instrumented functions. So instead of
using the "generic" libfdt, we compile our own versions of those functions
that are not instrumented and that are prefixed so that they do not
conflict with the generic ones. We also need the non-instrumented versions
of the string functions and the prefixed versions of memcpy/memmove.
This is largely inspired by commit aacd149b6238 ("arm64: head: avoid
relocating the kernel twice for KASLR") from which I removed compilation
flags that were not relevant to RISC-V at the moment (LTO, SCS). Also
note that we have to link with -z norelro to avoid ld.lld to throw a
warning with the new .got sections, like in commit 311bea3cb9ee ("arm64:
link with -z norelro for LLD or aarch64-elf").

The finit_module() system call can in the worst case use up to more than
twice of a module's size in virtual memory. Duplicate finit_module()
system calls are non fatal, however they unnecessarily strain virtual
memory during bootup and in the worst case can cause a system to fail
to boot. This is only known to currently be an issue on systems with
larger number of CPUs.
To help debug this situation we need to consider the different sources for
finit_module(). Requests from the kernel that rely on module auto-loading,
ie, the kernel's *request_module() API, are one source of calls. Although
modprobe checks to see if a module is already loaded prior to calling
finit_module() there is a small race possible allowing userspace to
trigger multiple modprobe calls racing against modprobe and this not
seeing the module yet loaded.
This adds debugging support to the kernel module auto-loader (*request_module()
calls) to easily detect duplicate module requests. To aid with possible bootup
failure issues incurred by this, it will converge duplicates requests to a
single request. This avoids any possible strain on virtual memory during
bootup which could be incurred by duplicate module autoloading requests.
Folks debugging virtual memory abuse on bootup can and should enable
this to see what pr_warn()s come on, to see if module auto-loading is to
blame for their wores. If they see duplicates they can further debug this
by enabling the module.enable_dups_trace kernel parameter or by enabling
CONFIG_MODULE_DEBUG_AUTOLOAD_DUPS_TRACE.
Current evidence seems to point to only a few duplicates for module
auto-loading. And so the source for other duplicates creating heavy
virtual memory pressure due to larger number of CPUs should becoming
from another place (likely udev).

LoongArch maintains cache coherency in hardware, but when paired with
LS7A chipsets the WUC attribute (Weak-ordered UnCached, which is similar
to WriteCombine) is out of the scope of cache coherency machanism for
PCIe devices (this is a PCIe protocol violation, which may be fixed in
newer chipsets).
This means WUC can only used for write-only memory regions now, so this
option is disabled by default, making WUC silently fallback to SUC for
ioremap(). You can enable this option if the kernel is ensured to run on
hardware without this bug.
Kernel parameter writecombine=on/off can be used to override the Kconfig

MAX_ORDER currently defined as number of orders page allocator supports:
user can ask buddy allocator for page order between 0 and MAX_ORDER-1.
This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over
the kernel.
Change the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive: the range of orders
user can ask from buddy allocator is 0..MAX_ORDER now.

It is currently possible to set the csdlock_debug_enabled static
branch, but not to reset it. This is an issue when several different
entities supply kernel boot parameters and also for kernels built with
CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG_DEFAULT=y.
Therefore, make the csdlock_debug=0 kernel boot parameter turn off
debugging. Last one wins!

The diagnostics added by this commit were extremely useful in one instance:
a5aabace5fb8 ("locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging")
However, they have not seen much action since, and there have been some
concerns expressed that the complexity is not worth the benefit.
Therefore, manually revert this commit, but leave a comment telling
people where to find these diagnostics.

The csd_debug kernel parameter works well, but is inconvenient in cases
where it is more closely associated with boot loaders or automation than
with a particular kernel version or release. Thererfore, provide a new
CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG_DEFAULT Kconfig option that defaults csd_debug to
1 when selected and 0 otherwise, with this latter being the default.

From ACPI spec below 3 modes for CPPC can be defined:
1. Non autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies operating frequency/
performance level through `Desired Performance` register and platform
follows that.
2. Guided autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies min and max
frequencies/ performance levels through `Minimum Performance` and
`Maximum Performance` register, and platform can autonomously select an
operating frequency in this range.
3. Fully autonomous: OS only hints (via EPP) to platform for the required
energy performance preference for the workload and platform autonomously
scales the frequency.
Currently (1) is supported by amd_pstate as passive mode, and (3) is
implemented by EPP support. This change is to support (2).
In guided autonomous mode the min_perf is based on the input from the
scaling governor. For example, in case of schedutil this value depends
on the current utilization. And max_perf is set to max capacity.
To activate guided auto mode ``amd_pstate=guided`` command line
parameter has to be passed in the kernel.

Sort the NFS kernel command line parameters. This is done in 4 groups
so as to not have them intermingled: 'nfs' module parameters, 'nfs4'
module parameters, 'nfsd' module parameters, and nfs "global" (__setup,
no module) parameters.
There were 5 parameters which were listed with a space between the
parameter name and the following '=' sign. The space has been
removed since module parameters expect 'parameter=' with no intervening
space.

When all devices that could probe have finished probing (based on
deferred_probe_timeout configuration or late_initcall() when
!CONFIG_MODULES), this parameter controls what to do with devices that
haven't yet received their sync_state() calls.
fw_devlink.sync_state=strict is the default and the driver core will
continue waiting on all consumers of a device to probe successfully
before sync_state() is called for the device. This is the default
behavior since calling sync_state() on a device when all its consumers
haven't probed could make some systems unusable/unstable. When this
option is selected, we also print the list of devices that haven't had
sync_state() called on them by the time all devices the could probe have
finished probing.
fw_devlink.sync_state=timeout will cause the driver core to give up
waiting on consumers and call sync_state() on any devices that haven't
yet received their sync_state() calls. This option is provided for
systems that won't become unusable/unstable as they might be able to
save power (depends on state of hardware before kernel starts) if all
devices get their sync_state().

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED was added in commit 88a22c985e35
("CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED") in 2006 to allow systems with older versions
of some tools (i.e. Fedora 3's version of udev) to boot properly. Four
years later, in 2010, the option was attempted to be removed as most of
userspace should have been fixed up properly by then, but some kernel
developers clung to those old systems and refused to update, so we added
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 in commit e52eec13cd6b ("SYSFS: Allow boot
time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout") to allow
them to continue to boot properly, and we allowed a boot time parameter
to be used to switch back to the old format if needed.
Over time, the logic that was covered under these config options was
slowly removed from individual driver subsystems successfully, removed,
and the only thing that is now left in the kernel are some changes in
the block layer's representation in sysfs where real directories are
used instead of symlinks like normal.
Because the original changes were done to userspace tools in 2006, and
all distros that use those tools are long end-of-life, and older
non-udev-based systems do not care about the block layer's sysfs
representation, it is time to finally remove this old logic and the
config entries from the kernel.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Provide a virtual cache topology to the guest to avoid
inconsistencies with migration on heterogenous systems. Non secure
software has no practical need to traverse the caches by set/way in
the first place
- Add support for taking stage-2 access faults in parallel. This was
an accidental omission in the original parallel faults
implementation, but should provide a marginal improvement to
machines w/o FEAT_HAFDBS (such as hardware from the fruit company)
- A preamble to adding support for nested virtualization to KVM,
including vEL2 register state, rudimentary nested exception
handling and masking unsupported features for nested guests
- Fixes to the PSCI relay that avoid an unexpected host SVE trap when
resuming a CPU when running pKVM
- VGIC maintenance interrupt support for the AIC
- Improvements to the arch timer emulation, primarily aimed at
reducing the trap overhead of running nested
- Add CONFIG_USERFAULTFD to the KVM selftests config fragment in the
interest of CI systems
- Avoid VM-wide stop-the-world operations when a vCPU accesses its
own redistributor
- Serialize when toggling CPACR_EL1.SMEN to avoid unexpected
exceptions in the host
- Aesthetic and comment/kerneldoc fixes
- Drop the vestiges of the old Columbia mailing list and add [Oliver]
as co-maintainer
RISC-V:
- Fix wrong usage of PGDIR_SIZE instead of PUD_SIZE
- Correctly place the guest in S-mode after redirecting a trap to the
guest
- Redirect illegal instruction traps to guest
- SBI PMU support for guest
s390:
- Sort out confusion between virtual and physical addresses, which
currently are the same on s390
- A new ioctl that performs cmpxchg on guest memory
- A few fixes
x86:
- Change tdp_mmu to a read-only parameter
- Separate TDP and shadow MMU page fault paths
- Enable Hyper-V invariant TSC control
- Fix a variety of APICv and AVIC bugs, some of them real-world, some
of them affecting architecurally legal but unlikely to happen in
practice
- Mark APIC timer as expired if its in one-shot mode and the count
underflows while the vCPU task was being migrated
- Advertise support for Intel's new fast REP string features
- Fix a double-shootdown issue in the emergency reboot code
- Ensure GIF=1 and disable SVM during an emergency reboot, i.e. give
SVM similar treatment to VMX
- Update Xen's TSC info CPUID sub-leaves as appropriate
- Add support for Hyper-V's extended hypercalls, where "support" at
this point is just forwarding the hypercalls to userspace
- Clean up the kvm->lock vs. kvm->srcu sequences when updating the
PMU and MSR filters
- One-off fixes and cleanups
- Fix and cleanup the range-based TLB flushing code, used when KVM is
running on Hyper-V
- Add support for filtering PMU events using a mask. If userspace
wants to restrict heavily what events the guest can use, it can now
do so without needing an absurd number of filter entries
- Clean up KVM's handling of "PMU MSRs to save", especially when vPMU
support is disabled
- Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids
- Fix a mostly benign overflow bug in SEV's
send|receive_update_data()
- Move several SVM-specific flags into vcpu_svm
x86 Intel:
- Handle NMI VM-Exits before leaving the noinstr region
- A few trivial cleanups in the VM-Enter flows
- Stop enabling VMFUNC for L1 purely to document that KVM doesn't
support EPTP switching (or any other VM function) for L1
- Fix a crash when using eVMCS's enlighted MSR bitmaps
Generic:
- Clean up the hardware enable and initialization flow, which was
scattered around multiple arch-specific hooks. Instead, just let
the arch code call into generic code. Both x86 and ARM should
benefit from not having to fight common KVM code's notion of how to
do initialization
- Account allocations in generic kvm_arch_alloc_vm()
- Fix a memory leak if coalesced MMIO unregistration fails
selftests:
- On x86, cache the CPU vendor (AMD vs. Intel) and use the info to
emit the correct hypercall instruction instead of relying on KVM to
patch in VMMCALL
- Use TAP interface for kvm_binary_stats_test and tsc_msrs_test"

Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Rework portdrv shutdown so it disables interrupts but doesn't
disable bus mastering, which leads to hangs on Loongson LS7A
- Add mechanism to prevent Max_Read_Request_Size (MRRS) increases,
again to avoid hardware issues on Loongson LS7A (and likely other
devices based on DesignWare IP)
- Ignore devices with a firmware (DT or ACPI) node that says the
device is disabled
Resource management:
- Distribute spare resources to unconfigured hotplug bridges at
boot-time (not just when hot-adding such a bridge), which makes
hot-adding devices to docks work better. Tried this in v6.1 but had
to revert for regressions, so try again
- Fix root bus issue that dropped resources that happened to end
at 0, e.g., [bus 00]
PCI device hotplug:
- Remove device locking when marking device as disconnected so this
doesn't have to wait for concurrent driver bind/unbind to complete
- Quirk more Qualcomm bridges that don't fully implement the PCIe
Slot Status 'Command Completed' bit
Power management:
- Account for _S0W of the target bridge in acpi_pci_bridge_d3() so we
don't miss hot-add notifications for USB4 docks, Thunderbolt, etc
Reset:
- Observe delay after reset, e.g., resuming from system sleep,
regardless of whether a bridge can suspend to D3cold at runtime
- Wait for secondary bus to become ready after a bridge reset
Virtualization:
- Avoid FLR on some AMD FCH AHCI adapters where it doesn't work
- Allow independent IOMMU groups for some Wangxun NICs that prevent
peer-to-peer transactions but don't advertise an ACS Capability
Error handling:
- Configure End-to-End-CRC (ECRC) only if Linux owns the AER
Capability
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable in the AER
service driver since this is already done for all devices during
enumeration
ASPM:
- Add pci_enable_link_state() interface to allow drivers to enable
ASPM link state
Endpoint framework:
- Move dra7xx and tegra194 linkup processing from hard IRQ to
threaded IRQ handler
- Add a separate lock for endpoint controller list of endpoint
function drivers to prevent deadlock in callbacks
- Pass events from endpoint controller to endpoint function drivers
via callbacks instead of notifiers
Synopsys DesignWare eDMA controller driver (acked by Vinod):
- Fix CPU vs PCI address issues
- Fix source vs destination address issues
- Fix issues with interleaved transfer semantics
- Fix channel count initialization issue (issue still exists in
several other drivers)
- Clean up and improve debugfs usage so it will work on platforms
with several eDMA devices
Baikal T-1 PCIe controller driver:
- Set a 64-bit DMA mask
Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Add i.MX8MM, i.MX8MQ, i.MX8MP endpoint mode DT binding and driver
support
Intel VMD host bridge driver:
- Add quirk to configure PCIe ASPM and LTR. This is normally done by
BIOS, and will be for future products
Marvell MVEBU PCIe controller driver:
- Mark this driver as broken in Kconfig since bugs prevent its daily
usage
MediaTek MT7621 PCIe controller driver:
- Delay PHY port initialization to improve boot reliability for ZBT
WE1326, ZBT WF3526-P, and some Netgear models
Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:
- Add MSM8998 DT compatible string
- Unify MSM8996 and MSM8998 clock orderings
- Add SM8350 DT binding and driver support
- Add IPQ8074 Gen3 DT binding and driver support
- Correct qcom,perst-regs in DT binding
- Add qcom_pcie_host_deinit() so the PHY is powered off and
regulators and clocks are disabled on late host-init errors
Socionext UniPhier Pro5 controller driver:
- Clean up uniphier-ep reg, clocks, resets, and their names in DT
binding
Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:
- Restrict coherent DMA mask to 32 bits for MSI, but allow controller
drivers to set 64-bit streaming DMA mask
- Add eDMA engine support in both Root Port and Endpoint controllers
Miscellaneous:
- Remove MODULE_LICENSE from boolean drivers so they don't look like

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dlemoal/libata
Pull ATA updates from Damien Le Moal:
- Small cleanup of the pata_octeon driver to drop a useless platform
callback (Uwe)
- Simplify ata_scsi_cmd_error_handler() code using the fact that
ap->ops->error_handler is NULL most of the time (Wenchao)
- Several patches improving libata error handling. This is in
preparation for supporting the command duration limits (CDL) feature.
The changes allow handling corner cases of ATA NCQ errors which do
not happen with regular drives but will be triggered with CDL drives
(Niklas)
- Simplify the qc_fill_rtf operation (me)
- Improve SCSI command translation for REPORT_SUPPORTED_OPERATION_CODES
command (me)
- Cleanup of libata FUA handling.
This falls short of enabling FUA for ATA drives that support it by
default as there were concerns that old drives would break. The
series however fixes several issues with the FUA support to ensure
that FUA is reported as being supported only for drives that can
handle all possible write cases (NCQ and non-NCQ). A check in the
block layer is also added to ensure that we never see read FUA
commands (current behavior) (me)

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:
- Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having
to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.
- Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.
- Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.
- Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.
- Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
boot.
- Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.
- Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.
- Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.
Protocols:
- Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).
- Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
on socket by socket basis.
- Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.
- Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
manager.
- IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).
- Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).
- ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.
- Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.
- Remove static WEP support.
- Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
reporting.
- WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP).
BPF:
- Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.
- Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
timestamp metadata.
- Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
metadata.
- Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks.
- Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and
bpf_trace_vprintk helpers.
- Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of
kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.
- Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
livepatch and BPF.
- Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
different time intervals.
- Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.
- Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.
- Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.
- Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
memory accounting for container environments.
Netfilter:
- Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
/proc interface installed by this target.
- Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.
Driver API:
- Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.
- Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.
- Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.
- Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
shared medium Ethernet.
- Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.
- Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.
- Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and
factor out common parts of netlink operation handling.
- Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers).
- Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning
messages with notifications for debug.
- Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.
- Add support for per action HW stats in TC.
- Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
a specific point in the action chain).
- Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
using nl80211 interface instead.
- Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:
- Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number of
callbacks
- Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
initialized
- Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
stall warnings have done this for many years)
- Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled, so
this should not (yet) affect production use cases)
- Make kfree_rcu() and friends take advantage of polled grace periods,
thus reducing memory footprint by almost two orders of magnitude,
admittedly on a microbenchmark
This also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs where
kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the intended
kfree_rcu(p, rh)
- SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that causes SRCU to
fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot CPU. This
surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels on the
powerpc architecture
This also adds an srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), which act like
srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side
critical section to be handed off from one task to another
- Clean up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option
There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled into
maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for a later
merge window
- RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:
- A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
very real hang
- A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can
result in a too-short grace period
- A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback
list and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where
that queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This
can result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU
- Torture-test updates and fixes
- Torture-test scripting updates and fixes
- Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information in kernels built
with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and restore the full five-minute
timeout limit for expedited RCU CPU stall warnings

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for timekeeping, timers and clockevent/source drivers:
Core:
- Yet another round of improvements to make the clocksource watchdog
more robust:
- Relax the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match the NTP
criteria.
- Temporarily skip the watchdog when high memory latencies are
detected which can lead to false-positives.
- Provide an option to enable TSC skew detection even on systems
where TSC is marked as reliable.
Sigh!
- Initialize the restart block in the nanosleep syscalls to be
directed to the no restart function instead of doing a partial
setup on entry.
This prevents an erroneous restart_syscall() invocation from
corrupting user space data. While such a situation is clearly a
user space bug, preventing this is a correctness issue and caters
to the least suprise principle.
- Ignore the hrtimer slack for realtime tasks in schedule_hrtimeout()
to align it with the nanosleep semantics.
Drivers:
- The obligatory new driver bindings for Mediatek, Rockchip and
RISC-V variants.
- Add support for the C3STOP misfeature to the RISC-V timer to handle
the case where the timer stops in deeper idle state.
- Set up a static key in the RISC-V timer correctly before first use.
- The usual small improvements and fixes all over the place"

trace_instance=foo,sched:sched_switch,irq_handler_entry,initcall
That will create the "foo" instance and enable the sched_switch event
(here were the "sched" system is explicitly specified), the
irq_handler_entry event, and all events under the system initcall.

Add kernel command line to add tracing instances. This only creates
instances at boot but still does not enable any events to them. Later
changes will extend this command line to add enabling of events, filters,
and triggers. As well as possibly redirecting trace_printk()!

Unconditionally enabling TSC watchdog checking of the HPET and PMTMR
clocksources can degrade latency and performance. Therefore, provide
a new "watchdog" option to the tsc= boot parameter that opts into such
checking. Note that tsc=watchdog is overridden by a tsc=nowatchdog
regardless of their relative positions in the list of boot parameters.

AMD Pstate driver support another firmware based autonomous mode
with "amd_pstate=active" added to the kernel command line.
In autonomous mode SMU firmware decides frequencies at runtime
based on workload utilization, usage in other IPs, infrastructure
limits such as power, thermals and so on.

stall.2023.01.09a: RCU CPU stall-warning updates.
|
|
The kernel assumes that the TSC frequency which is provided by the
hardware / firmware via MSRs or CPUID(0x15) is correct after applying
a few basic consistency checks. This disables the TSC recalibration
against HPET or PM timer.
As a result there is no mechanism to validate that frequency in cases
where a firmware or hardware defect is suspected. And there was case
that some user used atomic clock to measure the TSC frequency and
reported an inaccuracy issue, which was later fixed in firmware.
Add an option 'recalibrate' for 'tsc' kernel parameter to force the
tsc freq recalibration with HPET or PM timer, and warn if the
deviation from previous value is more than about 500 PPM, which
provides a way to verify the data from hardware / firmware.
There is no functional change to existing work flow.
Recently there was a real-world case: "The 40ms/s divergence between
TSC and HPET was observed on hardware that is quite recent" [1], on
that platform the TSC frequence 1896 MHz was got from CPUID(0x15),
and the force-reclibration with HPET/PMTIMER both calibrated out
value of 1975 MHz, which also matched with check from software
'chronyd', indicating it's a problem of BIOS or firmware.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

The AMD Zen4 core supports a new feature called Automatic IBRS.
It is a "set-and-forget" feature that means that, like Intel's Enhanced IBRS,
h/w manages its IBRS mitigation resources automatically across CPL transitions.
The feature is advertised by CPUID_Fn80000021_EAX bit 8 and is enabled by
setting MSR C000_0080 (EFER) bit 21.
Enable Automatic IBRS by default if the CPU feature is present. It typically
provides greater performance over the incumbent generic retpolines mitigation.
Reuse the SPECTRE_V2_EIBRS spectre_v2_mitigation enum. AMD Automatic IBRS and
Intel Enhanced IBRS have similar enablement. Add NO_EIBRS_PBRSB to
cpu_vuln_whitelist, since AMD Automatic IBRS isn't affected by PBRSB-eIBRS.
The kernel command line option spectre_v2=eibrs is used to select AMD Automatic
IBRS, if available.
