3b2074c77d Merge tag 'irq-core-2025-09-29' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for the interrupt core subsystem:

   - Introduce irq_chip_[startup|shutdown]_parent() to prepare for
     addressing a few short comings in the PCI/MSI interrupt subsystem.

     It allows to utilize the interrupt chip startup/shutdown callbacks
     for initializing the interrupt chip hierarchy properly on certain
     RISCV implementations and provides a mechanism to reduce the
     overhead of masking and unmasking PCI/MSI interrupts during
     operation when the underlying MSI provider can mask the interrupt.

     The actual usage comes with the interrupt driver pull request.

   - Add generic error handling for devm_request_*_irq()

     This allows to remove the zoo of random error printk's all over the
     usage sites.

   - Add a mechanism to warn about long-running interrupt handlers

     Long running interrupt handlers can introduce latencies and
     tracking them down is a tedious task. The tracking has to be
     enabled with a threshold on the kernel command line and utilizes a
     static branch to remove the overhead when disabled.

   - Update and extend the selftests which validate the CPU hotplug
     interrupt migration logic

   - Allow dropping the per CPU softirq lock on PREEMPT_RT kernels,
     which causes contention and latencies all over the place.

     The serialization requirements have been pushed down into the
     actual affected usage sites already.

   - The usual small cleanups and improvements"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "There's good stuff across the board, including some nice mm
  improvements for CPUs with the 'noabort' BBML2 feature and a clever
  patch to allow ptdump to play nicely with block mappings in the
  vmalloc area.

  Confidential computing:

   - Add support for accepting secrets from firmware (e.g. ACPI CCEL)
     and mapping them with appropriate attributes.

  CPU features:

   - Advertise atomic floating-point instructions to userspace

   - Extend Spectre workarounds to cover additional Arm CPU variants

   - Extend list of CPUs that support break-before-make level 2 and
     guarantee not to generate TLB conflict aborts for changes of
     mapping granularity (BBML2_NOABORT)

   - Add GCS support to our uprobes implementation.

  Documentation:

   - Remove bogus SME documentation concerning register state when
     entering/exiting streaming mode.

  Entry code:

   - Switch over to the generic IRQ entry code (GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY)

   - Micro-optimise syscall entry path with a compiler branch hint.

  Memory management:

   - Enable huge mappings in vmalloc space even when kernel page-table
     dumping is enabled

   - Tidy up the types used in our early MMU setup code

   - Rework rodata= for closer parity with the behaviour on x86

   - For CPUs implementing BBML2_NOABORT, utilise block mappings in the
     linear map even when rodata= applies to virtual aliases

   - Don't re-allocate the virtual region between '_text' and '_stext',
     as doing so confused tools parsing /proc/vmcore.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Clean-up Kconfig menuconfig text for architecture features

   - Avoid redundant bitmap_empty() during determination of supported
     SME vector lengths

   - Re-enable warnings when building the 32-bit vDSO object

   - Avoid breaking our eggs at the wrong end.

  Perf and PMUs:

   - Support for v3 of the Hisilicon L3C PMU

   - Support for Hisilicon's MN and NoC PMUs

   - Support for Fujitsu's Uncore PMU

   - Support for SPE's extended event filtering feature

   - Preparatory work to enable data source filtering in SPE

   - Support for multiple lanes in the DWC PCIe PMU

   - Support for i.MX94 in the IMX DDR PMU driver

   - MAINTAINERS update (Thank you, Yicong)

   - Minor driver fixes (PERF_IDX2OFF() overflow, CMN register offsets).

  Selftests:

   - Add basic LSFE check to the existing hwcaps test

   - Support nolibc in GCS tests

   - Extend SVE ptrace test to pass unsupported regsets and invalid
     vector lengths

   - Minor cleanups (typos, cosmetic changes).

  System registers:

   - Fix ID_PFR1_EL1 definition

   - Fix incorrect signedness of some fields in ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1

   - Sync TCR_EL1 definition with the latest Arm ARM (L.b)

   - Be stricter about the input fed into our AWK sysreg generator
     script

   - Typo fixes and removal of redundant definitions.

  ACPI, EFI and PSCI:

   - Decouple Arm's "Software Delegated Exception Interface" (SDEI)
     support from the ACPI GHES code so that it can be used by platforms
     booted with device-tree

   - Remove unnecessary per-CPU tracking of the FPSIMD state across EFI
     runtime calls

   - Fix a node refcount imbalance in the PSCI device-tree code.

  CPU Features:

   - Ensure register sanitisation is applied to fields in ID_AA64MMFR4

   - Expose AIDR_EL1 to userspace via sysfs, primarily so that KVM
     guests can reliably query the underlying CPU types from the VMM

   - Re-enabling of SME support (CONFIG_ARM64_SME) as a result of fixes
     to our context-switching, signal handling and ptrace code"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
     This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
     limit the memory size

   - Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()

     Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
     signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
     sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
     converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets

   - Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option

     Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
     implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
     mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
     pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
     been constructed)

     This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
     required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
     of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:

     * In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
       creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
       namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
       containers would fail to mount procfs)

       But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
       just one-shot this using mount(2)

     * Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
       before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
       in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
       the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)

       While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
       issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
       of unfortunate

       Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
       just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
       changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
       using fsconfig(2):

           fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
           fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);

       or classic mount(2) / mount(8):

           // mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
           mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");

  Cleanups:

   - Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK

   - Make file_remove_privs_flags() static

   - Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used

   - Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()

   - Use try_cmpxchg() in sb_init_done_wq()

   - Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()

   - Remove vfs_ioctl() export

   - Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes
     priority inversion on preempt rt kernels

   - Make ns_entries in fs/proc/namespaces const

   - Use a switch() statement() in init_special_inode() just like we do
     in may_open()

   - Use struct_size() in dir_add() in the initramfs code

   - Use str_plural() in rd_load_image()

   - Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in find_link()

   - Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and
     generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop()

   - Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint()

  Fixes:

   - Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper

   - Fix spelling mistake

   - Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor
     number

   - Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a

   - Fix debugfs mount options not being applied

   - Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs

   - Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs

   - Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV

     through automounts, but could still trigger them

   - Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
     tracepoints

   - Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390

   - Make INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME depend on BLK_DEV_INITRD

c0f303d7d4 arm64: mm: Rework the 'rodata=' options
As per admin guide documentation, "rodata=on" should be the default on
platforms. Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt describes
these options as

   rodata=         [KNL,EARLY]
           on      Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
           off     Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
           full    Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
                   [arm64]

But on arm64 platform, RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED is enabled by default,
so "rodata=full" is the default instead.

For parity with other architectures, namely x86, rework 'rodata=on' to
match the current "full" behaviour and replace 'rodata=full' with a new
'rodata=noalias' option which retains writable aliases in the direct map
for memory regions outside of the kernel image.

278033a225 fs: Add 'initramfs_options' to set initramfs mount options
When CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, the initial root filesystem is a tmpfs.
By default, a tmpfs mount is limited to using 50% of the available RAM
for its content. This can be problematic in memory-constrained
environments, particularly during a kdump capture.

In a kdump scenario, the capture kernel boots with a limited amount of
memory specified by the 'crashkernel' parameter. If the initramfs is
large, it may fail to unpack into the tmpfs rootfs due to insufficient
space. This is because to get X MB of usable space in tmpfs, 2*X MB of
memory must be available for the mount. This leads to an OOM failure
during the early boot process, preventing a successful crash dump.

This patch introduces a new kernel command-line parameter,
initramfs_options, which allows passing specific mount options directly
to the rootfs when it is first mounted. This gives users control over
the rootfs behavior.

For example, a user can now specify initramfs_options=size=75% to allow
the tmpfs to use up to 75% of the available memory. This can
significantly reduce the memory pressure for kdump.

Consider a practical example:

To unpack a 48MB initramfs, the tmpfs needs 48MB of usable space. With
the default 50% limit, this requires a memory pool of 96MB to be
available for the tmpfs mount. The total memory requirement is therefore
approximately: 16MB (vmlinuz) + 48MB (loaded initramfs) + 48MB (unpacked
kernel) + 96MB (for tmpfs) + 12MB (runtime overhead) ≈ 220MB.

By using initramfs_options=size=75%, the memory pool required for the
48MB tmpfs is reduced to 48MB / 0.75 = 64MB. This reduces the total
memory requirement by 32MB (96MB - 64MB), allowing the kdump to succeed
with a smaller crashkernel size, such as 192MB.

An alternative approach of reusing the existing rootflags parameter was
considered. However, a new, dedicated initramfs_options parameter was
chosen to avoid altering the current behavior of rootflags (which
applies to the final root filesystem) and to prevent any potential
regressions.

Also add documentation for the new kernel parameter "initramfs_options"

This approach is inspired by prior discussions and patches on the topic.

     simplify the scheduler and remove around 200 #ifdef/[#else]/#endif
     blocks from the scheduler (Ingo Molnar)

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As is tradition, cpufreq is the part with the largest number of
  updates that include core fixes and cleanups as well as updates of
  several assorted drivers, but there are also quite a few updates
  related to system sleep, mostly focused on asynchronous suspend and
  resume of devices and on making the integration of system suspend
  and resume with runtime PM easier.

  Runtime PM is also updated to allow some code duplication in drivers
  to be eliminated going forward and to work more consistently overall
  in some cases.

  Apart from that, there are some driver core updates related to PM
  domains that should help to address ordering issues with devm_ cleanup
  routines relying on PM domains, some assorted devfreq updates
  including core fixes and cleanups, tooling updates, and documentation
  and MAINTAINERS updates.

  Specifics:

   - Fix two initialization ordering issues in the cpufreq core and a
     governor initialization error path in it, and clean it up (Lifeng
     Zheng)

   - Add Granite Rapids support in no-HWP mode to the intel_pstate
     cpufreq driver (Li RongQing)

     Kling)

   - Do minor cleanups for Rust cpufreq and cpumask APIs and fix

     Bulwahn)

   - Clean up assorted cpufreq drivers (Arnd Bergmann, Dan Carpenter,
     Krzysztof Kozlowski, Sven Peter, Svyatoslav Ryhel, Lifeng Zheng)

   - Add the NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag to the CPPC cpufreq driver
     (Prashant Malani)

   - Fix minimum performance state label error in the amd-pstate driver
     documentation (Shouye Liu)

   - Add the CPUFREQ_GOV_STRICT_TARGET flag to the userspace cpufreq
     governor and explain HW coordination influence on it in the
     documentation (Shashank Balaji)

   - Fix opencoded for_each_cpu() in idle_state_valid() in the DT
     cpuidle driver (Yury Norov)

   - Remove info about non-existing QoS interfaces from the PM QoS
     documentation (Ulf Hansson)

   - Use c_* types via kernel prelude in Rust for OPP (Abhinav Ananthu)

   - Add HiSilicon uncore frequency scaling driver to devfreq (Jie Zhan)

   - Allow devfreq drivers to add custom sysfs ABIs (Jie Zhan)

   - Simplify the sun8i-a33-mbus devfreq driver by using more devm
     functions (Uwe Kleine-König)

   - Fix an index typo in trans_stat() in devfreq (Chanwoo Choi)

   - Check devfreq governor before using governor->name (Lifeng Zheng)

   - Remove a redundant devfreq_get_freq_range() call from
     devfreq_add_device() (Lifeng Zheng)

   - Limit max_freq with scaling_min_freq in devfreq (Lifeng Zheng)

   - Replace sscanf() with kstrtoul() in set_freq_store() (Lifeng Zheng)

   - Extend the asynchronous suspend and resume of devices to handle
     suppliers like parents and consumers like children (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Make pm_runtime_force_resume() work for drivers that set the
     DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND flag and allow PCI drivers and drivers that

7f0c6675b3 tpm_crb_ffa: handle tpm busy return code
Platforms supporting direct message request v2 [1] can support secure
partitions that support multiple services. For CRB over FF-A interface,
if the firmware TPM or TPM service [1] shares its Secure Partition (SP)
with another service, message requests may fail with a -EBUSY error.

To handle this, replace the single check and call with a retry loop
that attempts the TPM message send operation until it succeeds or a
configurable timeout is reached. Implement a _try_send_receive function
to do a single send/receive and modify the existing send_receive to
add this retry loop.
The retry mechanism introduces a module parameter (`busy_timeout_ms`,
default: 2000ms) to control how long to keep retrying on -EBUSY
responses. Between retries, the code waits briefly (50-100 microseconds)
to avoid busy-waiting and handling TPM BUSY conditions more gracefully.

The parameter can be modified at run-time as such:
echo 3000 | tee /sys/module/tpm_crb_ffa/parameters/busy_timeout_ms
This changes the timeout from the default 2000ms to 3000ms.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


This patch (of 5):

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

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

646faf36d7 cgroup: Add compatibility option for content of /proc/cgroups
/proc/cgroups lists only v1 controllers by default, however, this is
only enforced since the commit af000ce852 ("cgroup: Do not report
unavailable v1 controllers in /proc/cgroups") and there is software in
the wild that uses content of /proc/cgroups to decide on availability of
v2 (sic) controllers.

Add a boottime param that can bring back the previous behavior for
setups where the check in the software cannot be changed and it causes
e.g. unintended OOMs.

Also, this patch takes out cgrp_v1_visible from cgroup1_subsys_absent()
guard since it's only important to check which hierarchy (v1 vs v2) the
subsys is attached to. This has no effect on the printed message but
the code is cleaner since cgrp_v1_visible is really about mounted
hierarchies, not the content of /proc/cgroups.

ea92b6046d irqchip/riscv-imsic: Add kernel parameter to disable IPIs
When injecting IPIs to a set of harts, the IMSIC IPI support will do a
separate MMIO write to the SETIPNUM_LE register of each target hart. This
means on a platform where IMSIC is trap-n-emulated, there will be N MMIO
traps when injecting IPI to N target harts hence IMSIC IPIs will be slow on
such platforms compared to the SBI IPI extension.

Unfortunately, there is no DT, ACPI, or any other way of discovering
whether the underlying IMSIC is trap-n-emulated. Using MMIO write to the
SETIPNUM_LE register for injecting IPI is purely a software choice in the
IMSIC driver hence add a kernel parameter to allow users to disable IMSIC
IPIs on platforms with trap-n-emulated IMSIC.

1caa1b0509 Documentation/x86: Document new attack vector controls
Document the 5 new attack vector command line options, how they
interact with existing vulnerability controls, and recommendations on when
they can be disabled.

Note that while mitigating against untrusted userspace requires both
user-to-kernel and user-to-user protection, these are kept separate.  The
kernel can control what code executes inside of it and that may affect the
risk associated with vulnerabilities especially if new kernel mitigations
are implemented.  The same isn't typically true of userspace.

In other words, the risk associated with user-to-user or guest-to-guest
attacks is unlikely to change over time.  While the risk associated with
user-to-kernel or guest-to-host attacks may change.  Therefore, these
controls are separated.

f747cde5e7 PM: sleep: add kernel parameter to disable asynchronous suspend/resume
On some platforms, device dependencies are not properly represented by
device links, which can cause issues when asynchronous power management
is enabled. While it is possible to disable this via sysfs, doing so
at runtime can race with the first system suspend event.

This patch introduces a kernel command-line parameter, "pm_async", which
can be set to "off" to globally disable asynchronous suspend and resume
operations from early boot. It effectively provides a way to set the
initial value of the existing pm_async sysfs knob at boot time. This
offers a robust method to fall back to synchronous (sequential)
operation, which can stabilize platforms with problematic dependencies
and also serve as a useful debugging tool.

The default behavior remains unchanged (asynchronous enabled). To
disable it, boot the kernel with the "pm_async=off" parameter.

de1c831a78 slab: Decouple slab_debug and no_hash_pointers
Some system owners use slab_debug=FPZ (or similar) as a hardening option,
but do not want to be forced into having kernel addresses exposed due
to the implicit "no_hash_pointers" boot param setting.[1]

Introduce the "hash_pointers" boot param, which defaults to "auto"
(the current behavior), but also includes "always" (forcing on hashing
even when "slab_debug=..." is defined), and "never". The existing
"no_hash_pointers" boot param becomes an alias for "hash_pointers=never".

This makes it possible to boot with "slab_debug=FPZ hash_pointers=always".

   Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
   code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
   enabled for ARM.

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

   This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks

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

   Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
   and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
   ranges of invalid pfns.

 - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
   cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
   when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.

   Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.

 - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
   Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
   using JFS.

 - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
   appropriate mm/vma.c.

 - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
   provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
   function.

 - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.

 - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
   addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
   test_memcontrol selftest.

 - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
   of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().

   The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
   things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.

 - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
   the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

   This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
   NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.

 - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
   documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
   DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
   documents.

 - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
   stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
   charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

 - "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio
   instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the
   hugetlb code.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Once again, the changes are dominated by cpufreq updates, but this
  time the majority of them are cpufreq core changes, mostly related to
  the introduction of policy locking guards and __free() usage, and
  fixes related to boost handling.

  Still, there is also a significant update of the intel_pstate driver
  making it register an energy model when running on a hybrid platform
  which is used for enabling energy-aware scheduling (EAS) if the driver
  operates in the passive mode (and schedutil is used as the cpufreq
  governor for all CPUs which is the passive mode default).

  There are some amd-pstate driver updates too, for a good measure,
  including the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option support and
  new online/offline callbacks.

  In the cpuidle space, the most significant change is the addition of a
  C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to intel_idle which should help some
  users to configure their systems more precisely. There is also the
  conversion of the PSCI cpuidle driver to a faux device one and there
  are two small updates of cpuidle governors.

  Device power management is also modified quite a bit, especially the
  handling of devices with asynchronous suspend and resume enabled
  during system transitions. They are now going to be handled more
  asynchronously during suspend transitions and somewhat less
  aggressively during resume transitions.

  Apart from the above, the operating performance points (OPP) library
  is now going to use mutex locking guards and scope-based cleanup
  helpers and there is the usual bunch of assorted fixes and code
  cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs() (Yaxiong
     Tian)

   - Fix typos in energy model documentation and example driver code
     (Moon Hee Lee, Atul Kumar Pant)

   - Rearrange the energy model management code and add a new function
     for adjusting a CPU energy model after adjusting the capacity of
     the given CPU to it (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Refactor cpufreq_online(), add and use cpufreq policy locking
     guards, use __free() in policy reference counting, and clean up
     core cpufreq code on top of that (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix boost handling on CPU suspend/resume and sysfs updates (Viresh
     Kumar)

   - Fix des_perf clamping with max_perf in amd_pstate_update()
     (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Add offline, online and suspend callbacks to the amd-pstate driver,
     rename and use the existing amd_pstate_epp callbacks in it
     (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Add support for the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option to
     the amd-pstate driver (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Reset amd-pstate driver mode after running selftests (Swapnil
     Sapkal)

   - Avoid shadowing ret in amd_pstate_ut_check_driver() (Nathan
     Chancellor)

   - Add helper for governor checks to the schedutil cpufreq governor
     and move cpufreq-specific EAS checks to cpufreq (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Populate the cpu_capacity sysfs entries from the intel_pstate
     driver after registering asym capacity support (Ricardo Neri)

   - Add support for enabling Energy-aware scheduling (EAS) to the
     intel_pstate driver when operating in the passive mode on a hybrid
     platform (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Drop redundant cpus_read_lock() from store_local_boost() in the
     cpufreq core (Seyediman Seyedarab)

   - Replace sscanf() with kstrtouint() in the cpufreq code and use a
     symbol instead of a raw number in it (Bowen Yu)

   - Add support for autonomous CPU performance state selection to the
     CPPC cpufreq driver (Lifeng Zheng)

   - OPP: Add dev_pm_opp_set_level() (Praveen Talari)

   - Introduce scope-based cleanup headers and mutex locking guards in
     OPP core (Viresh Kumar)

   - Switch OPP to use kmemdup_array() (Zhang Enpei)

   - Optimize bucket assignment when next_timer_ns equals KTIME_MAX in
     the menu cpuidle governor (Zhongqiu Han)

   - Convert the cpuidle PSCI driver to a faux device one (Sudeep Holla)

   - Add C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to the intel_idle driver (Artem
     Bityutskiy)

   - Fix typos in two comments in the teo cpuidle governor (Atul Kumar
     Pant)

   - Fix denying of auto suspend in pm_suspend_timer_fn() (Charan Teja
     Kalla)

   - Move debug runtime PM attributes to runtime_attrs[] (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Add new devm_ functions for enabling runtime PM and runtime PM
     reference counting (Bence Csókás)

   - Remove size arguments from strscpy() calls in the hibernation core
     code (Thorsten Blum)

   - Adjust the handling of devices with asynchronous suspend enabled
     during system suspend and resume to start resuming them immediately
     after resuming their parents and to start suspending such a device
     immediately after suspending its first child (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Adjust messages printed during tasks freezing to avoid using
     pr_cont() (Andrew Sayers, Paul Menzel)

   - Clean up unnecessary usage of !! in pm_print_times_init() (Zihuan
     Zhang)

   - Add missing wakeup source attribute relax_count to sysfs and remove
     the space character at the end ofi the string produced by

   - Add configurable pm_test delay for hibernation (Zihuan Zhang)

   - Disable asynchronous suspend in ucsi_ccg_probe() to prevent the

     Hunter)

   - Unbreak printing PM debug messages during hibernation and clean up

181d8e399f Merge tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Use folios for symlinks in the page cache

     FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
     in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
     folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
     remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()

   - Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
     inode->i_mutex level

   - Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations

     Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
     allow through out sysctl interface

     A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
     involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
     dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
     million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
     after initialization

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

     To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
     during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
     of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
     patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
     pressure control

     The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
     vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
     million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
     restart performance degradation

   - Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()

   - Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
     descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()

   - Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()

   - Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
     issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
     Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
     report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode

   - Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
     the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
     implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
     user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
     useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
     respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
     own private superblock

   - Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock

   - Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior

   - Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
     we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()

  Cleanups:

   - Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers

   - Try to remove the uselib() system call

   - Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll

   - Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select

   - Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse

   - Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir()

   - Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages

   - Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs
     documentation

   - Update main netfs API document

   - Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()

   - Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns()

   - Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases

  Fixes:

   - Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description

   - Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc()

   - Correct comments of fs_validate_description()

   - Mark an unlikely if condition with unlikely() in
     vfs_parse_monolithic_sep()

   - Delete macro fsparam_u32hex()

   - Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table()

   - Fix potential unsigned integer underflow in fs_name()

   - Make file-nr output the total allocated file handles"

aafe12f980 rcutorture: Perform more frequent testing of ->gpwrap
Currently, the ->gpwrap is not tested (at all per my testing) due to the
requirement of a large delta between a CPU's rdp->gp_seq and its node's
rnp->gpseq.

This results in no testing of ->gpwrap being set. This patch by default
adds 5 minutes of testing with ->gpwrap forced by lowering the delta
between rdp->gp_seq and rnp->gp_seq to just 8 GPs. All of this is
configurable, including the active time for the setting and a full
testing cycle.

By default, the first 25 minutes of a test will have the _default_
behavior there is right now (ULONG_MAX / 4) delta. Then for 5 minutes,
we switch to a smaller delta causing 1-2 wraps in 5 minutes. I believe
this is reasonable since we at least add a little bit of testing for
usecases where ->gpwrap is set.

[ Apply fix for Dan Carpenter's bug report on init path cleanup. ]
[ Apply kernel doc warning fix from Akira Yokosawa. ]
