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

order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".

freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

Remove the broken pfn_to_virt() on architectures csky/hexagon/openrisc.
The pfn_to_virt() on those architectures takes PFN instead of PA as the
input to macro __va(), with PAGE_SHIFT applying to the converted VA, which
is not right, especially when there's a non-zero offset in __va(). [1]
The broken pfn_to_virt() was noticed when checking how page_to_virt() is
unfolded on x86. It turns out that the one in linux/mm.h instead of in
asm-generic/page.h is compiled for x86. However, page_to_virt() in
asm-generic/page.h is found out expanding to pfn_to_virt() with a bug
described above. The pfn_to_virt() is found out not right as well on
architectures csky/hexagon/openrisc.
Since there's no single caller on csky/hexagon/openrisc to pfn_to_virt()
and there are functions doing similar things as pfn_to_virt() --
- pfn_to_kaddr() in asm/page.h for csky,
- page_to_virt() in asm/page.h for hexagon, and
- page_to_virt() in linux/mm.h for openrisc,
just delete the pfn_to_virt() on those architectures.
The pfn_to_virt() in asm-generic/page.h is not touched in this patch as
it's referenced by page_to_virt() in that header while the whole header is
going to be removed as a whole due to no one including it.

Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually
aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems
which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)
can reliably query this.
For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:
A) The data cache is always aliasing:
* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc
B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU
state at runtime:
* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
C) The data cache is never aliasing:
* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since
commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))
* microblaze
* openrisc
* powerpc
* riscv
* s390
* um
* x86
Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and
implement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()".
Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thus
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false".
Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future
work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures
which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.
Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache"
to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" to
eliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "page
cache".

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c323 ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").
Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.
Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround. But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.
It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:
(a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
has outputs:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420
which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.
(b) Internal compiler errors:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422
which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
barrier, as in the original workaround.
but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.
but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.netfs' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.
The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
the existence of pages and folios
The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
individual pulls I took.
Summary:
- Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.
- Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.
- Support for write-through caching in the page cache.
- O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.
- Support for write-streaming.
- Support for write grouping.
- Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.
- The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.
- Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion"

riscv: Enable pcpu page first chunk allocator
mm: Introduce flush_cache_vmap_early()
The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).
But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.
So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

Most architectures have already added workarounds for these by adding
declarations somewhere, but since these are all compatible, we should
really just have one copy, with an #ifdef check for the 32-bit vs
64-bit variant and use that everywhere.
Unfortunately, the sparc an um versions are currently incompatible
since they never added support for __vdso_clock_gettime64() in 32-bit
userland. For the moment, I'm leaving this one out, as I can't
easily test it and it requires a larger rework.

they copied it from another architecture in order to build the VGA console

Now that vgacon no longer builds on these architectures, remove the

will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :

Remove sentinel from alignment_tbl ctl_table array. This removal is safe
because register_sysctl_init implicitly uses ARRAY_SIZE() in addition to

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.
For symmetry to the same thing with pfn_to_virt().
In order to do this we move the virt_to_phys() and
phys_to_virt() below the definitions of the __pa()
and __va() macros so it compiles. The macro version was also
able to do recursive symbol resolution.

The final icache_flush was in the update_mmu_cache, and update_mmu_cache
is after the set_pte_at. Thus, when CPU0 sets the pte, the other CPU
would see it before the icache_flush broadcast happens, and their
icaches may have cached stale VIPT cache lines in their I-caches. When
address translation was ready for the new cache line, they will use the
stale data of icache, not the fresh one of the dcache.
The csky instruction cache is VIPT, and it needs an origin virtual
address to invalidate the virtual address index entries of cache ways.
The current implementation uses a temporary mapping mechanism -
kmap_atomic, which returns a new virtual address for invalidation. But,
the original virtual address cache line may still in the I-cache.
So force invalidation I-cache in update_mmu_cache, and prevent
flush_dcache when there is an EXEC page. This bug was detected in the
4*c860 SMP system, and this patch could pass the stress test.

The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow
stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires
some core mm changes to function properly.
One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable,
but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE
bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code
will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that
call pte_mkwrite(). The goal is to make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so
that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular
writable or shadow stack mappings.
But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of
each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some
are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some
pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA.
So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be
renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite()
added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can
be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers
can be changed to take/pass a VMA.
Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and
adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same
pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(),
create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if
pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the
compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma().
No functional change.

As already mentioned in my merge message for the 'expand-stack' branch,
we have something like 24 different versions of the page fault path for
all our different architectures, all just _slightly_ different due to
various historical reasons (usually related to exactly when they
branched off the original i386 version, and the details of the other
architectures they had in their history).
And a few of them had some silly mistake in the conversion.
Most of the architectures call the faulting address 'address' in the
fault path. But not all. Some just call it 'addr'. And if you end up
doing a bit too much copy-and-paste, you end up with the wrong version
in the places that do it differently.
In this case it was csky.

This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.
It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.
And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.
That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops.
It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:
- the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
of twisty little passages, all alike.
- the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
unhappy if you get it wrong.
- and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
stack as a special case.
None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.
So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.
Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.
And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.
That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.
So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".
The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.
And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).
In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().
Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.
Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.
Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce cmpxchg128() -- aka. the demise of cmpxchg_double()
The cmpxchg128() family of functions is basically & functionally the
same as cmpxchg_double(), but with a saner interface.
Instead of a 6-parameter horror that forced u128 - u64/u64-halves
layout details on the interface and exposed users to complexity,
fragility & bugs, use a natural 3-parameter interface with u128
types.
- Restructure the generated atomic headers, and add kerneldoc comments

This does the simple pattern conversion of alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa to the lock_mm_and_find_vma()
helper. They all have the regular fault handling pattern without odd
special cases.
The remaining architectures all have something that keeps us from a
straightforward conversion: ia64 and parisc have stacks that can grow
both up as well as down (and ia64 has special address region checks).
And m68k, microblaze, openrisc, sparc64, and um end up having extra
rules about only expanding the stack down a limited amount below the
user space stack pointer. That is something that x86 used to do too
(long long ago), and it probably could just be skipped, but it still
makes the conversion less than trivial.
Note that this conversion was done manually and with the exception of
alpha without any build testing, because I have a fairly limited cross-
building environment. The cases are all simple, and I went through the
changes several times, but...

Most architectures define the atomic/atomic64 xchg and cmpxchg
operations in terms of arch_xchg and arch_cmpxchg respectfully.
Add fallbacks for these cases and remove the trivial cases from arch
code. On some architectures the existing definitions are kept as these
are used to build other arch_atomic*() operations.

This pull request goes with only a few sysctl moves from the
kernel/sysctl.c file, the rest of the work has been put towards
deprecating two API calls which incur recursion and prevent us
from simplifying the registration process / saving memory per
move. Most of the changes have been soaking on linux-next since
v6.3-rc3.
I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these
moves instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more
memory since when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its
own file we end up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register
it. To achieve saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed
without requiring the end element being empty, and just have our
registration process rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting
both styles of sysctls would make the sysctl registration pretty
brittle, hard to read and maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's
efforts to do just this [0]. Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE()
for all sysctl registrations also implies doing the work to deprecate
two API calls which use recursion in order to support sysctl
declarations with subdirectories.
And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove them:
* register_sysctl_table()
* register_sysctl_paths()
During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end
of this merge window.
Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but
this pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.
As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.
The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.
Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
just kept the stragglers after rc3.
Most of these changes have been soaking on linux-next since around rc3.

Merge tag 'sysctl-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the
rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which
incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration
process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been
soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.
I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves
instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since
when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end
up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve
saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring
the end element being empty, and just have our registration process
rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls
would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and
maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0].
Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations
also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use
recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.
And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove
them:
- register_sysctl_table()
- register_sysctl_paths()
During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of
this merge window.
Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this
pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.
As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.
The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.
Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
just kept the stragglers after rc3"
