The optional shift of the clock used by thermal/hw load avg has been
introduced to handle case where the signal was not always a high frequency
hw signal. Now that cpufreq provides a signal for firmware and
SW pressure, we can remove this exception and always keep this PELT signal
aligned with other signals.

Since kernel virtual and physical address spaces are
uncoupled the kernel is mapped at the top of the virtual
address space in case KASLR is disabled.
That does not pose any issue with regard to the kernel
booting and operation, but makes it difficult to use a
generated vmlinux with some debugging tools (e.g. gdb),
because the exact location of the kernel image in virtual
memory is unknown. Make that location known and introduce
CONFIG_KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE configuration option.
A custom CONFIG_KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE value that would break
the virtual memory layout leads to a build error.
The kernel image size is defined by KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
macro and set to 512 MB, by analogy with x86.

When WQ_HIGHPRI was used for the dm-crypt kcryptd workqueue it was
reported that dm-crypt performs badly when the system is loaded[1].
Because of reports of audio skipping, dm-crypt stopped using
WQ_HIGHPRI with commit f612b2132d (Revert "dm crypt: use WQ_HIGHPRI
for the IO and crypt workqueues").
But it has since been determined that WQ_HIGHPRI provides improved
performance (with reduced latency) for highend systems with much more
resources than those laptop/desktop users which suffered from the use
of WQ_HIGHPRI.
As such, add an option "high_priority" that allows the use of
WQ_HIGHPRI for dm-crypt's workqueues and also sets the write_thread to
nice level MIN_NICE (-20). This commit makes it optional, so that
normal users won't be harmed by it.

A call to a synchronize_rcu() can be optimized from a latency
point of view. Workloads which depend on this can benefit of it.
The delay of wakeme_after_rcu() callback, which unblocks a waiter,
depends on several factors:
- how fast a process of offloading is started. Combination of:
- !CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU/CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU;
- !CONFIG_RCU_LAZY/CONFIG_RCU_LAZY;
- other.
- when started, invoking path is interrupted due to:
- time limit;
- need_resched();
- if limit is reached.
- where in a nocb list it is located;
- how fast previous callbacks completed;
Example:
1. On our embedded devices i can easily trigger the scenario when
it is a last in the list out of ~3600 callbacks:
<snip>
<...>-29 [001] d..1. 21950.145313: rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=3613 bl=28
...

2. We use cpuset/cgroup to classify tasks and assign them into
different cgroups. For example "backgrond" group which binds tasks
only to little CPUs or "foreground" which makes use of all CPUs.
Tasks can be migrated between groups by a request if an acceleration
is needed.
See below an example how "surfaceflinger" task gets migrated.
Initially it is located in the "system-background" cgroup which
allows to run only on little cores. In order to speed it up it
can be temporary moved into "foreground" cgroup which allows
to use big/all CPUs:
cgroup_attach_task():
-> cgroup_migrate_execute()
-> cpuset_can_attach()
-> percpu_down_write()
-> rcu_sync_enter()
-> synchronize_rcu()
-> now move tasks to the new cgroup.
-> cgroup_migrate_finish()
<snip>
rcuop/1-29 [000] ..... 7030.528570: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=00000000461605e0 func=wakeme_after_rcu.cfi_jt
PERFD-SERVER-1855 [000] d..1. 7030.530293: cgroup_attach_task: dst_root=3 dst_id=22 dst_level=1 dst_path=/foreground pid=1900 comm=surfaceflinger
TimerDispatch-2768 [002] d..5. 7030.537542: sched_migrate_task: comm=surfaceflinger pid=1900 prio=98 orig_cpu=0 dest_cpu=4
<snip>
"Boosting a task" depends on synchronize_rcu() latency:
- first trace shows a completion of synchronize_rcu();
- second shows attaching a task to a new group;
- last shows a final step when migration occurs.
3. To address this drawback, maintain a separate track that consists
of synchronize_rcu() callers only. After completion of a grace period
users are deferred to a dedicated worker to process requests.
4. This patch reduces the latency of synchronize_rcu() approximately
by ~30-40% on synthetic tests. The real test case, camera launch time,
shows(time is in milliseconds):
1-run 542 vs 489 improvement 9%
2-run 540 vs 466 improvement 13%
3-run 518 vs 468 improvement 9%
4-run 531 vs 457 improvement 13%
5-run 548 vs 475 improvement 13%
6-run 509 vs 484 improvement 4%
Synthetic test(no "noise" from other callbacks):
Hardware: x86_64 64 CPUs, 64GB of memory
Linux-6.6
- 10K tasks(simultaneous);
- each task does(1000 loops)
synchronize_rcu();
kfree(p);
default: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 54 seconds to complete all users;
patch: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 35 seconds to complete all users.
Running 60K gives approximately same results on my setup. Please note
it is without any interaction with another type of callbacks, otherwise
it will impact a lot a default case.
5. By default it is disabled. To enable this perform one of the
below sequence:
echo 1 > /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_normal_wake_from_gp
or pass a boot parameter "rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1"

In order to be able to limit the amount of memory that is allocated
by IOMMU subsystem, the memory must be accounted.
Account IOMMU as part of the secondary pagetables as it was discussed
at LPC.
The value of SecPageTables now contains mmeory allocation by IOMMU
and KVM.
There is a difference between GFP_ACCOUNT and what NR_IOMMU_PAGES shows.
GFP_ACCOUNT is set only where it makes sense to charge to user
processes, i.e. IOMMU Page Tables, but there more IOMMU shared data
that should not really be charged to a specific process.

The console loglevel will determine which all kernel log messages

where userspace is trusted but the guests are not trusted. Deploying

Update the auto mode to unconditionally mitigate against malicious
guests. Deploy the software sequence at VMexit in auto mode also, when
hardware mitigation is not available. Unlike the force =on mode,
software sequence is not deployed at syscalls in auto mode.

The limitation that all RT processes have to be in the root cgroup
before enabling cpu controller only applies if the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED
option is enabled in the running kernel. If a kernel does not have
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled, RT processes can exist in a non-root
cgroup even when cpu controller is enabled. CPU sharing of RT processes
will not be under cgroup control, but other resources like memory can be.
Clarify this limitation to avoid confusion to users that are using
cgroup v2.

README: Fix spelling
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

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.

- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-03-13-20-04' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

Merge tag 'pm-6.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"From the functional perspective, the most significant change here is
the addition of support for Energy Models that can be updated
dynamically at run time.
There is also the addition of LZ4 compression support for hibernation,
the new preferred core support in amd-pstate, new platforms support in
the Intel RAPL driver, new model-specific EPP handling in intel_pstate
and more.
Apart from that, the cpufreq default transition delay is reduced from
10 ms to 2 ms (along with some related adjustments), the system
suspend statistics code undergoes a significant rework and there is a
usual bunch of fixes and code cleanups all over.

creation and loading code (Nikhil V)

Serialization rework:
- use SRCU to serialize access to the global GPIO device list, to GPIO device
structs themselves and to GPIO descriptors
- make the GPIO subsystem resilient to the GPIO providers being unbound while
the API calls are in progress
- don't dereference the SRCU-protected chip pointer if the information we need
can be obtained from the GPIO device structure
- move some of the information contained in struct gpio_chip to struct
gpio_device to further reduce the need to dereference the former
- pass the GPIO device struct instead of the GPIO chip to sysfs callback to,
again, reduce the need for accessing the latter
- get GPIO descriptors from the GPIO device, not from the chip for the same
reason
- allow for mostly lockless operation of the GPIO driver API: assure
consistency with SRCU and atomic operations
- remove the global GPIO spinlock
- remove the character device RW semaphore
Core GPIOLIB:
- constify pointers in GPIO API where applicable
- unify the GPIO counting APIs for ACPI and OF
- provide a macro for iterating over all GPIOs, not only the ones that are
requested
- remove leftover typedefs
- pass the consumer device to GPIO core in devm_fwnode_gpiod_get_index() for
improved logging

- don't warn about removing GPIO chips with descriptors still held by users as
we can now handle this situation gracefully
- remove unused logging helpers
- unexport functions that are only used internally in the GPIO subsystem
- set the device type (assign the relevant struct device_type) for GPIO devices
New drivers:
- add the ChromeOS EC GPIO driver
Driver improvements:
- allow building gpio-vf610 with COMPILE_TEST as well as disabling it in
menuconfig (before it was always built for i.MX cofigs)
- count the number of EICs using the device properties instead of hard-coding
it in gpio-eic-sprd

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
"The biggest feature is the locking overhaul. Up until now the
synchronization in the GPIO subsystem was broken. There was a single
spinlock "protecting" multiple data structures but doing it wrong (as
evidenced by several places where it would be released when a sleeping
function was called and then reacquired without checking the protected
state).
We tried to use an RW semaphore before but the main issue with GPIO is
that we have drivers implementing the interfaces in both sleeping and
non-sleeping ways as well as user-facing interfaces that can be called
both from process as well as atomic contexts. Both ends converge in
the same code paths that can use neither spinlocks nor mutexes. The
only reasonable way out is to use SRCU and go mostly lockless. To that
end: we add several SRCU structs in relevant places and use them to
assure consistency between API calls together with atomic reads and
writes of GPIO descriptor flags where it makes sense.
This code has spent several weeks in next and has received several
fixes in the first week or two after which it stabilized nicely. The
GPIO subsystem is now resilient to providers being suddenly unbound.
We managed to also remove the existing character device RW semaphore
and the obsolete global spinlock.
Other than the locking rework we have one new driver (for Chromebook
EC), much appreciated documentation improvements from Kent and the
regular driver improvements, DT-bindings updates and GPIOLIB core
tweaks.

Merge tag 'slab-for-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- Freelist loading optimization (Chengming Zhou)
When the per-cpu slab is depleted and a new one loaded from the cpu
partial list, optimize the loading to avoid an irq enable/disable
cycle. This results in a 3.5% performance improvement on the "perf
bench sched messaging" test.
- Kernel boot parameters cleanup after SLAB removal (Xiongwei Song)
Due to two different main slab implementations we've had boot
parameters prefixed either slab_ and slub_ with some later becoming
an alias as both implementations gained the same functionality (i.e.
slab_nomerge vs slub_nomerge). In order to eventually get rid of the
implementation-specific names, the canonical and documented
parameters are now all prefixed slab_ and the slub_ variants become
deprecated but still working aliases.
- SLAB_ kmem_cache creation flags cleanup (Vlastimil Babka)
The flags had hardcoded #define values which became tedious and
error-prone when adding new ones. Assign the values via an enum that
takes care of providing unique bit numbers. Also deprecate
SLAB_MEM_SPREAD which was only used by SLAB, so it's a no-op since
SLAB removal. Assign it an explicit zero value. The removals of the
flag usage are handled independently in the respective subsystems,
with a final removal of any leftover usage planned for the next
release.
- Misc cleanups and fixes (Chengming Zhou, Xiaolei Wang, Zheng Yejian)
Includes removal of unused code or function parameters and a fix of a
memleak.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps etc.)
lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core
instead of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length
and budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global config
variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug
of ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for
use on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code
--------------------------------------------
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and introduce
VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of
ksft exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter
---------
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a daemon
(via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this table when
the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as orphaned and
a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set type.
Compact a few related data structures.
BPF
---
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between BPF
program and user space where structures inside the arena can have
pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work seamlessly
for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the verifier
and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop assuming it's
behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF objects.
Wireless
--------
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API
----------
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to support
new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between drivers
(especially those using phylib), and encourage more uniform behavior.
Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc
----
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions,
and packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message encapsulation
or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of nested attributes
depends on link type, classifier type or some other "class type".

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter:
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.
BPF:
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.
Wireless:
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API:
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc:
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

Merge tag 'rfds-for-linus-2024-03-11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
state can be cleared.
This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
mitigation"

KVM/x86: Export RFDS_NO and RFDS_CLEAR to guests
x86/rfds: Mitigate Register File Data Sampling (RFDS)
Documentation/hw-vuln: Add documentation for RFDS
x86/mmio: Disable KVM mitigation when X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF is set
- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code,
to support the 'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature,
by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative
memory via variables declared with such attributes,
which allows the compiler to better optimize those accesses
than the previous inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations
for various percpu access methods, plus a number of
cleanups of %gs accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for
the last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.
- Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally
working handling of FPU switching - which also generates
better code.
- Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code,
to generate slightly better code.
- Rework the CPU mitigations Kconfig space to be less idiosyncratic,
to make it easier for distros to follow & maintain these options.
- Rework the x86 idle code to cure RCU violations and
to clean up the logic.
- Clean up the vDSO Makefile logic.
- Misc cleanups and fixes.
[ Please note that there's a higher number of merge commits in
this branch (three) than is usual in x86 topic trees. This happened
due to the long testing lifecycle of the percpu changes that
involved 3 merge windows, which generated a longer history
and various interactions with other core x86 changes that we
felt better about to carry in a single branch. ]

FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most of
the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved in
nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested exceptions
as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on each entry which
requires a massive effort in the low level entry of #NMI code to handle
this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user which
makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs to be
especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which is a
problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion on
large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save exception
cause registers. This ensures that the meta information for each
exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra complexity of
preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS BASE
handling which is required to establish kernel context for per CPU
variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the return
from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design because it
uses a central entry points for kernel and user space and the CPUstores
the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt, syscall) on the entry stack
along with the vector number. The entry code has to demultiplex this
information, but this removes the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have information
pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs. the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths like
context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the extended
stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and therefore have no
impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are know outstanding problems.

The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
- It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
- The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is in
the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology evaluation.
- The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and guest
specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in case of
XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
- The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
- There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing up
the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which needs
to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if that would be
possible.
- The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is incomprehensible
and overly complex and needs to be kept around after boot instead of
completing this right after the APIC enumeration.
This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
- Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors and
provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform way
independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module, ..., Die,
Package) so that this information can be computed instead of rewriting
global variables of dubious value over and over.
- A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
- Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries to
find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at registration
time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run on
the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent sending
INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset the whole
machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command line
parameter, which does not even work in nested crash scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and prevents
the late registration of APICs, which was somehow tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the parsers
and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV] handling so it can
use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows for
cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout due to
a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the admission
logic further.

- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer wheel
of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry. This is done
to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is close
to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on a
single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead for
dubious value especially under the consideration that the vast
majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or rearmed
before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on which
they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers and
global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry time
is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU makes sure
to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to the
point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e. the
number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight has been
established by experimention, but can be adjusted if needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU to
avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether there
are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have global timers
to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the migrator locks the
remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can require
to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point the
CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and it
therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its own
timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in the
hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which is
e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly more
complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final series
has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon vendors and
ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them to
power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first time in
a mostly idle scenario.
There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific overloaded
netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either
positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power
management side.
- Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps:
cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware timers
and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes address a
few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the math and logic
wrong.
- Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to automatically
adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of having more
incomprehensible command line parameters.
- Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping:
- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer
wheel of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry.
This is done to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is
close to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on
a single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead
for dubious value especially under the consideration that the
vast majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or
rearmed before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on
which they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers
and global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they
expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry
time is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU
makes sure to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to
the point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e.
the number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight
has been established by experimention, but can be adjusted if
needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU
to avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether
there are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have
global timers to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the
migrator locks the remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can
require to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point
the CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and
it therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its
own timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in
the hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires
first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which
is e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly
more complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final
series has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon
vendors and ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them
to power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first
time in a mostly idle scenario.
There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific
overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the
rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on
the power management side.
- Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps:
cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware
timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes
address a few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the
math and logic wrong.
- Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to
automatically adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of
having more incomprehensible command line parameters.
- Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place"

RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.
Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.
Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are significant
and invasive.
- During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are more
topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved workqueue
behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, 636b927eba
("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues")
switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU frontend pool_workqueues as a
part of increasing front-back mapping flexibility.
An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max concurrency
enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of allowed concurrent
executions. I incorrectly assumed that this wouldn't cause practical
problems as most unbound workqueue users are self-regulate max
concurrency; however, there definitely are which don't (e.g. on IO paths)
and the drastic increase in the allowed max concurrency led to noticeable
perf regressions in some use cases.
This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement to a
separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active consistently
mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the number of CPUs or
(finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive and, in places, a bit
clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from the the inherent requirement to
handle the disagreement between the execution locality domain and max
concurrency enforcement domain on some modern machines. See 5797b1c189
("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound
workqueues") for more details.
- BH workqueue support is added. They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but
execute work items in the softirq context. This is expected to replace
tasklet. However, currently, it's missing the ability to disable and
enable work items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the next
merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the couple
conversion patches that are currently pending.
- Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation where
ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates. Ordered
workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound workqueues.
- More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in workqueue
isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect wq_unbound_cpumask.
Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on isolated CPUs.
- Other misc changes.

* Fix two anchors.
* Add two required packages to the openSUSE install instructions.
Fine tuning:
* Improve the reference section about downloading Linux mainline sources
to make it more obvious that those are alternatives.
* Include the full instructions for git bundles to ensure the remote

* Install ncurses and qt headers for use of menuconfig and xconfig by
default, but tell users that they are free to omit them.
* Mention ahead of time which version number are meant as example in
commands used during the step-by-step guide.
* Mention that 'kernel-install remove' might do a incomplete job.

Add a second document on bisecting regressions explaining the whole
process from beginning to end -- while also describing how to validate
if a problem is still present in mainline. This "two in one" approach
is possible, as checking whenever a bug is in mainline is one of the
first steps before performing a bisection anyway and thus needs to be
described. Due to this approach the text also works quite nicely in
conjunction with Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst, as it
covers all typical cases where users will need to build a kernel in
exactly the same order.
The text targets users that normally run kernels from their Linux
distributor who might never have compiled their own kernel.
This aim is why the first kernel built while following this guide is
generated from the latest mainline codebase. This will rule out that the
regression (a) was fixed already and (b) is caused by config change a
vendor distributor performed; checking mainline will furthermore (c)
determine if the issue is something that needs to be reported to the
regular developers or the stable team (this is needed even when readers
bisect within a stable series).
Only then are readers instructed to build their own variant of the
'good' kernel to validate the trimmed .config file created during early
in the guide, as performing a bisection with a broken one would be a
waste of time. There is a small downside of this order: readers might
have to go back to testing mainline, if it turns out there is a problem
with their .config. But that should be rare -- and if the regression was
already fixed readers might not get to this point anyway. Hence in the
end this order should mean that readers built less kernels overall.
This sequence allows the text to easily cover the "check if a bug is
present in the upstream kernel" case while only making things a tiny bit
more complicated.
The text tries to prevent readers from running into many mistakes users
are known to frequently make. The steps required for this might look
superfluous for people that are already familiar with bisections -- but
anyone with that knowledge should be able to adapt the instructions to
their use-case or will not need this text at all.
Style and structure of the text match the one
Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst uses. Quite a
few paragraphs are even copied from there and not changed at all or only
slightly. This will complicate maintenance, as some future changes to
one of these documents will have to be replicated in the other. But this
is the lesser evil: solutions like "sending readers from one document
over to the other" or "extracting the common parts into a separate
document" might work in other cases, but would be too confusing here
given the topic and the target audience.

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.

The EDID firmware loading mechanism introduced a few built-in EDIDs that

While convenient, this limited set of EDIDs doesn't take into account

So, an analog monitor EDID. However, if the connector was an HDMI
monitor for example, it breaks the HDMI specification that requires,
among other things, a digital display, the VIC 1 mode and an HDMI Forum
Vendor Specific Data Block in an CTA-861 extension.
We thus end up with a completely invalid EDID, which thus might confuse
HDMI-related code that could parse it.
After some discussions on IRC, we identified mainly two ways to fix
this:
- We can either create more EDIDs for each connector type to provide
a built-in EDID that matches the resolution passed in the name, and
still be a sensible EDID for that connector type;
- Or we can just prevent the EDID to be exposed to userspace if it's
built-in.
Or possibly both.
However, the conclusion was that maybe we just don't need the built-in
EDIDs at all and we should just get rid of them. So here we are.

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.

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.

Currently the default compression algorithm is selected based on
compile time options. Introduce a module parameter "hibernate.compressor"
to override this behaviour.
Different compression algorithms have different characteristics and
hibernation may benefit when it uses any of these algorithms, especially
when a secondary algorithm(LZ4) offers better decompression speeds over
a default algorithm(LZO), which in turn reduces hibernation image
restore time.
Users can override the default algorithm in two ways:
1) Passing "hibernate.compressor" as kernel command line parameter.
Usage:
LZO: hibernate.compressor=lzo
LZ4: hibernate.compressor=lz4
2) Specifying the algorithm at runtime.
Usage:
LZO: echo lzo > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor
LZ4: echo lz4 > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor
Currently LZO and LZ4 are the supported algorithms. LZO is the default
compression algorithm used with hibernation.

When a system has multiple NUMA nodes and it becomes bandwidth hungry,
using the current MPOL_INTERLEAVE could be an wise option.
However, if those NUMA nodes consist of different types of memory such as
socket-attached DRAM and CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, the round-robin based
interleave policy does not optimally distribute data to make use of their
different bandwidth characteristics.
Instead, interleave is more effective when the allocation policy follows
each NUMA nodes' bandwidth weight rather than a simple 1:1 distribution.
This patch introduces a new memory policy, MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE,
enabling weighted interleave between NUMA nodes. Weighted interleave
allows for proportional distribution of memory across multiple numa nodes,
preferably apportioned to match the bandwidth of each node.
For example, if a system has 1 CPU node (0), and 2 memory nodes (0,1),
with bandwidth of (100GB/s, 50GB/s) respectively, the appropriate weight
distribution is (2:1).
Weights for each node can be assigned via the new sysfs extension:
/sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/
For now, the default value of all nodes will be `1`, which matches the
behavior of standard 1:1 round-robin interleave. An extension will be
added in the future to allow default values to be registered at kernel and
device bringup time.
The policy allocates a number of pages equal to the set weights. For
example, if the weights are (2,1), then 2 pages will be allocated on node0
for every 1 page allocated on node1.
The new flag MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE can be used in set_mempolicy(2)
and mbind(2).
Some high level notes about the pieces of weighted interleave:
current->il_prev:
Tracks the node previously allocated from.
current->il_weight:
The active weight of the current node (current->il_prev)
When this reaches 0, current->il_prev is set to the next node
and current->il_weight is set to the next weight.
weighted_interleave_nodes:
Counts the number of allocations as they occur, and applies the
weight for the current node. When the weight reaches 0, switch
to the next node. Operates only on task->mempolicy.
weighted_interleave_nid:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the node based on the given index.
Operates on VMA policies.
bulk_array_weighted_interleave:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the number of "interleave rounds" as
well as any delta ("partial round"). Calculates the number of
pages for each node and allocates them.
If a node was scheduled for interleave via interleave_nodes, the
current weight will be allocated first.
Operates only on the task->mempolicy.
One piece of complexity is the interaction between a recent refactor which
split the logic to acquire the "ilx" (interleave index) of an allocation
and the actually application of the interleave. If a call to
alloc_pages_mpol() were made with a weighted-interleave policy and ilx set
to NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX, weighted_interleave_nodes() would operate on a VMA
policy - violating the description above.
An inspection of all callers of alloc_pages_mpol() shows that all external
callers set ilx to `0`, an index value, or will call get_vma_policy() to
acquire the ilx.
For example, mm/shmem.c may call into alloc_pages_mpol. The call stacks
all set (pgoff_t ilx) or end up in `get_vma_policy()`. This enforces the
`weighted_interleave_nodes()` and `weighted_interleave_nid()` policy
requirements (task/vma respectively).

DAMON debugfs interface is deprecated in February 2023, by commit
5445fcbc4c ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: add DAMON debugfs
interface deprecation notice"). Make the fact unable to be easily ignored
by removing an example usage from the document (patch 1), renaming the
config (patch 2), adding a deprecation notice file to the debugfs
directory (patches 3-5), and renaming the debugfs file that essnetial to
be used for real use of DAMON (patches 6-9).
This patch (of 9):
DAMON tracepoints example on the DAMON usage document is using DAMON
debugfs interface, which is deprecated. Use its alternative, DAMON sysfs
interface.

When CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is set, the kernel will report
the work functions which violate the intensive_threshold_us repeatedly.
And now, only when the violate times exceed 4 and is a power of 2,
the kernel warning could be triggered.
However, sometimes, even if a long work execution time occurs only once,
it may cause other work to be delayed for a long time. This may also
cause some problems sometimes.
In order to freely control the threshold of warninging, a boot argument
is added so that the user can control the warning threshold to be printed.
At the same time, keep the exponential backoff to prevent reporting too much.
By default, the warning threshold is 4.

On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled
during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns,
wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable
tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152)
clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896.
clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are
sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource
during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and
maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs.
The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency
case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the
randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta
(latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The
watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not
necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs.
There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to
increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to
be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to
the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime.
Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online
CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.
