This is the usual mix of updates for drivers that are used on (mostly
ARM) SoCs with no other top-level subsystem tree, including:
- The SCMI firmware subsystem gains support for version 3.2 of the
specification and updates to the notification code.
- Feature updates for Tegra and Qualcomm platforms for added
hardware support.
- A number of platforms get soc_device additions for identifying newly
added chips from Renesas, Qualcomm, Mediatek and Google.
- Trivial improvements for firmware and memory drivers amongst
others, in particular 'const' annotations throughout multiple
subsystems.

There is very little going on with new SoC support this time, all the
new chips are variations of others that we already support, and they
are all based on ARMv8 cores:
- Mediatek MT7981B (Filogic 820) and MT7988A (Filogic 880) are
networking SoCs designed to be used in wireless routers, similar
to the already supported MT7986A (Filogic 830).
- NXP i.MX8DXP is a variant of i.MX8QXP, with two CPU cores less.
These are used in many embedded and industrial applications.
- Renesas R8A779G2 (R-Car V4H ES2.0) and R8A779H0 (R-Car V4M)
are automotive SoCs.
- TI J722S is another automotive variant of its K3 family,
related to the AM62 series.
There are a total of 7 new arm32 machines and 45 arm64 ones, including
- Two Android phones based on the old Tegra30 chip
- Two machines using Cortex-A53 SoCs from Allwinner, a mini PC and
a SoM development board
- A set-top box using Amlogic Meson G12A S905X2
- Eight embedded board using NXP i.MX6/8/9
- Three machines using Mediatek network router chips
- Ten Chromebooks, all based on Mediatek MT8186
- One development board based on Mediatek MT8395 (Genio 1200)
- Seven tablets and phones based on Qualcomm SoCs, most of them
from Samsung.
- A third development board for Qualcomm SM8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)
- Three variants of the "White Hawk" board for Renesas
automotive SoCs
- Ten Rockchips RK35xx based machines, including NAS, Tablet,
Game console and industrial form factors.
- Three evaluation boards for TI K3 based SoCs
The other changes are mainly the usual feature additions for existing hardware,
cleanups, and dtc compile time fixes. One notable change is the inclusion
of PowerVR SGX GPU nodes on TI SoCs.

- Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes
- Fix error handling in Processor Activity Instrumentation device driver, and

are monitored in system wide sampling
- Change multiplier and shift values of the Time-of-Day clock source to improve
steering precision
- Remove a couple of unneeded GFP_DMA flags from allocations
- Disable mmap alignment if randomize_va_space is also disabled, to avoid a too
small heap
- Various changes to allow s390 to be compiled with LLVM=1, since ld.lld and
llvm-objcopy will have proper s390 support witch clang 19
- Add __uninitialized macro to Compiler Attributes. This is helpful with s390's
FPU code where some users have up to 520 byte stack frames. Clearing such
stack frames (if INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled)
before they are used contradicts the intention (performance improvement) of
such code sections.

header file
- Replace the usage of s390's debug feature with pr_debug() calls within the
zcrypt device driver
- Improve hotplug support of the Adjunct Processor device driver
- Improve retry handling in the zcrypt device driver
- Various changes to the in-kernel FPU code:
- Make in-kernel FPU sections preemptible
- Convert various larger inline assemblies and assembler files to C, mainly
by using singe instruction inline assemblies. This increases readability,
but also allows makes it easier to add proper instrumentation hooks
- Cleanup of the header files
- Provide fast variants of csum_partial() and csum_partial_copy_nocheck() based
on vector instructions
- Introduce and use a lock to synchronize accesses to zpci device data
structures to avoid inconsistent states caused by concurrent accesses
- Compile the kernel without -fPIE. This addresses the following problems if
the kernel is compiled with -fPIE:
- It uses dynamic symbols (.dynsym), for which the linker refuses to allow
more than 64k sections. This can break features which use
'-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections', including kpatch-build and
function granular KASLR
- It unnecessarily uses GOT relocations, adding an extra layer of indirection
for many memory accesses
- Fix shared_cpu_list for CPU private L2 caches, which incorrectly were
reported as globally shared

globals entirely.
- Move all code that runs early via the 1:1 mapping into .head.text,

Pull x86 APIC fixup from Dave Hansen:
"Revert VERW fixed addressing patch.
The reverted commit is not x86/apic material and was cruft left over
from a merge.
I believe the sequence of events went something like this:
- The commit in question was added to x86/urgent
- x86/urgent was merged into x86/apic to resolve a conflict
- The commit was zapped from x86/urgent, but *not* from x86/apic
- x86/apic got pullled (yesterday)
I think we need to be a bit more vigilant when zapping things to make
sure none of the other branches are depending on the zapped material"

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"

x86/rfds: Mitigate Register File Data Sampling (RFDS)

This was reverts commit 8009479ee9.
It was originally in x86/urgent, but was deemed wrong so got zapped.
But in the meantime, x86/urgent had been merged into x86/apic to
resolve a conflict. I didn't notice the merge so didn't zap it
from x86/apic and it managed to make it up with the x86/apic
material.
The reverted commit is known to cause some KASAN problems.

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because
in the following merge conflict resolution in <asm/coco.h>:
38b334fc76 Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:
1c811d403a x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code
... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:
2e5fc4786b Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree
But Linus is right in 38b334fc76, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.
So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's
tree and follow his conflict resolution.

operations require VMM cooperation, even in CoCo environments where
the VMM is untrusted. While it's _possible_ that memory pressure
could trigger the new warning, the odds are that a guest would only
see this from an attacking VMM.

x86/mm: Get rid of conditional IF flag handling in page fault path
x86/mm: Ensure input to pfn_to_kaddr() is treated as a 64-bit type
- 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. ]

errors are "replayed" upon reboot in order to poison memory which has
caused said errors in the past.
The main use case is stacked, on-chip memory which cannot simply be
replaced so poisoning faulty areas of it and thus making them
inaccessible is the only strategy to prolong its lifetime.

reported addresses of hw errors into system physical addresses in
order to be used by other subsystems like memory failure, for
example. Add support for MI300 accelerators to that library.

The current CR3 handling for kernel page table isolation in the paranoid
return paths which are relevant for #NMI, #MCE, #VC, #DB and #DF is
unconditionally writing CR3 with the value retrieved on exception entry.
In the vast majority of cases when returning to the kernel this is a
pointless exercise because CR3 was not modified on exception entry. The
only situation where this is necessary is when the exception interrupts a
entry from user before switching to kernel CR3 or interrupts an exit to
user after switching back to user CR3.
As CR3 writes can be expensive on some systems this becomes measurable
overhead with high frequency #NMIs such as perf.
Avoid this overhead by checking the CR3 value, which was saved on entry,
and write it back to CR3 only when it us a user CR3.

interrupts a entry from user before switching to kernel CR3 or
interrupts an exit to user after switching back to user CR3.
As CR3 writes can be expensive on some systems this becomes measurable
overhead with high frequency #NMIs such as perf.
Avoid this overhead by checking the CR3 value, which was saved on
entry, and write it back to CR3 only when it is a user CR3"

x86/entry: Avoid redundant CR3 write on paranoid returns
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

The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware
clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation.
That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which requires
needless exports and exposing internals.
This can be completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using
them for describing the correlated clock source.
This update adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which
can be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless
exports.
This is separate from the timer core changes as it was provided to the
PTP folks to build further changes on top.
A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has not
made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next round.

- Core and platform-MSI
The core changes have been adopted from previous work which converted
ARM[64] to the new per device MSI domain model, which was merged to
support multiple MSI domain per device. The ARM[64] changes are being
worked on too, but have not been ready yet. The core and platform-MSI
changes have been split out to not hold up RISC-V and to avoid that
RISC-V builds on the scheduled for removal interfaces.
The core support provides new interfaces to handle wire to MSI bridges
in a straight forward way and introduces new platform-MSI interfaces
which are built on top of the per device MSI domain model.
Once ARM[64] is converted over the old platform-MSI interfaces and the
related ugliness in the MSI core code will be removed.
- Drivers:
- Add a new driver for the Andes hart-level interrupt controller
- Rework the SiFive PLIC driver to prepare for MSI suport
- Expand the RISC-V INTC driver to support the new RISC-V AIA
controller which provides the basis for MSI on RISC-V
- A few fixup for the fallout of the core changes.
The actual MSI parts for RISC-V were finalized late and have been
post-poned for the next merge window.

Mitigation for RFDS requires RFDS_CLEAR capability which is enumerated
by MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES bit 27. If the host has it set, export it
to guests so that they can deploy the mitigation.
RFDS_NO indicates that the system is not vulnerable to RFDS, export it
to guests so that they don't deploy the mitigation unnecessarily. When
the host is not affected by X86_BUG_RFDS, but has RFDS_NO=0, synthesize
RFDS_NO to the guest.

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.

Currently MMIO Stale Data mitigation for CPUs not affected by MDS/TAA is
to only deploy VERW at VMentry by enabling mmio_stale_data_clear static
branch. No mitigation is needed for kernel->user transitions. If such
CPUs are also affected by RFDS, its mitigation may set
X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF to deploy VERW at kernel->user and VMentry.
This could result in duplicate VERW at VMentry.
Fix this by disabling mmio_stale_data_clear static branch when
X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF is enabled.

usb: core: hcd: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue
backtracetest: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue
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.

Another routine one in terms of features. We got two version upgrades
this time, but in terms of lines, 'alloc' changes are not very large.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Upgrade to Rust 1.76.0.
This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have
aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. These allow us to remove two
more unstable features ('const_maybe_uninit_zeroed' and
'ptr_metadata') from the list, among other improvements.
- Mark 'rustc' (and others) invocations as recursive, which fixes a new
warning and prepares us for the future in case we eventually take
advantage of the Make jobserver.
'kernel' crate:
- Add the 'container_of!' macro.
- Stop using the unstable 'ptr_metadata' feature by employing the now
stable 'byte_sub' method to implement 'Arc::from_raw()'.
- Add the 'time' module with a 'msecs_to_jiffies()' conversion function
to begin with, to be used by Rust Binder.
- Add 'notify_sync()' and 'wait_interruptible_timeout()' methods to
'CondVar', to be used by Rust Binder.
- Update integer types for 'CondVar'.
- Rename 'wait_list' field to 'wait_queue_head' in 'CondVar'.
- Implement 'Display' and 'Debug' for 'BStr'.
- Add the 'try_from_foreign()' method to the 'ForeignOwnable' trait.
- Add reexports for macros so that they can be used from the right
module (in addition to the root).

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

Pull file locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"A few years ago struct file_lock_context was added to allow for
separate lists to track different types of file locks instead of using
a singly-linked list for all of them.
Now leases no longer need to be tracked using struct file_lock.
However, a lot of the infrastructure is identical for leases and locks
so separating them isn't trivial.
This splits a group of fields used by both file locks and leases into
a new struct file_lock_core. The new core struct is embedded in struct
file_lock. Coccinelle was used to convert a lot of the callers to deal
with the move, with the remaining 25% or so converted by hand.
Afterwards several internal functions in fs/locks.c are made to work
with struct file_lock_core. Ultimately this allows to split struct
file_lock into struct file_lock and struct file_lease. The file lease
APIs are then converted to take struct file_lease"

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.pidfd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner:
- Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but
not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply
had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that
need support for this.
This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that
flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific
thread.
In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with
CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before.
A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that
refers to a thread-group leader:
(1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified
when the task has exited.
For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group
leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its
thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the
thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the
thread-group exits.
For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the
thread exits.
(2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does.
Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does.
The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type
of the pidfd.
Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided
pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to
pidfd_send_signal():
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD
Send a thread-specific signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP
Send a thread-group directed signal.
- PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP
Send a process-group directed signal.
The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually
used for this scope.
For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the
provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and
similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be
used as a process group leader.
- Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo
filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do
simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes.
Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds
to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by
inode number which are unique for the system lifetime.
Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash
it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts
that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed.
A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that
file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds.
Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same
struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple
times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same
inode.
The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace
exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no
complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always
deleted when the last pidfd is closed.
We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse
that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct
pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not
selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs.
The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic
infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The
path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location,
an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be
used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open().
The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided
stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a
new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location.
If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the
newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the
same namespace or task are then able to reuse it.
- Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited,
i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We
now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying
userspace with EPOLLHUP.
- Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead
of the confusing EBADF.
- Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
- Restore read-write hints in struct bio through the bi_write_hint
member for the sake of UFS devices in mobile applications. This can
result in up to 40% lower write amplification in UFS devices. The
patch series that builds on this will be coming in via the SCSI
maintainers (Bart)
- Overhaul the iomap writeback code. Afterwards ->map_blocks() is able
to map multiple blocks at once as long as they're in the same folio.
This reduces CPU usage for buffered write workloads on e.g., xfs on
systems with lots of cores (Christoph)
- Record processed bytes in iomap_iter() trace event (Kassey)
- Extend iomap_writepage_map() trace event after Christoph's
->map_block() changes to map mutliple blocks at once (Zhang)
