Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko) fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c - "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight) enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up the test module for these library functions - "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB" (Ilya Leoshkevich) makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB debugger - "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on demand" (Feng Tang) adds a sysctl which can be used to cause additional info dumping when the hung-task and lockup detectors fire - "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/ and migrates several users away from their private implementations - "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" (Eric Dumazet) makes TCP a little faster - "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin) reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients - "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin) increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin) is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot. Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and testing work. - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain) moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can hopefully be removed one day - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport) fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc() regions * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (139 commits) calibrate: update header inclusion Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()" vmcoreinfo: track and log recoverable hardware errors kho: fix restoring of contiguous ranges of order-0 pages kho: kho_restore_vmalloc: fix initialization of pages array MAINTAINERS: TPM DEVICE DRIVER: update the W-tag init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages Documentation/ABI: new kexec and kdump sysfs interface Documentation/ABI: mark old kexec sysfs deprecated kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec test_kho: always print restore status kho: free chunks using free_page() instead of kfree() selftests/liveupdate: add kexec test for multiple and empty sessions selftests/liveupdate: add simple kexec-based selftest for LUO selftests/liveupdate: add userspace API selftests docs: add documentation for memfd preservation via LUO mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state mm: shmem: export some functions to internal.h ...

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro: "Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually _stored_ anywhere. That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self). Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag (DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set claims responsibility for +1 in refcount. The end result this series is aiming for: - get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear persistency flag. - instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't been removed prior to umount), have the regular shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries, dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super(). Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series. This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions to it. Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of that stuff is here" * tag 'pull-persistency' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (54 commits) d_make_discardable(): warn if given a non-persistent dentry kill securityfs_recursive_remove() convert securityfs get rid of kill_litter_super() convert rust_binderfs convert nfsctl convert rpc_pipefs convert hypfs hypfs: swich hypfs_create_u64() to returning int hypfs: switch hypfs_create_str() to returning int hypfs: don't pin dentries twice convert gadgetfs gadgetfs: switch to simple_remove_by_name() convert functionfs functionfs: switch to simple_remove_by_name() functionfs: fix the open/removal races functionfs: need to cancel ->reset_work in ->kill_sb() functionfs: don't bother with ffs->ref in ffs_data_{opened,closed}() functionfs: don't abuse ffs_data_closed() on fs shutdown convert selinuxfs ...

Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management: The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks. The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies. The rewrite addresses this by: - Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality - Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are optimized for fast path processing. - Caching values so actual decisions can be made - Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant. - Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler. - Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually improved significantly. The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held time and therefore contention goes down significantly" * tag 'core-rseq-2025-11-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (54 commits) sched/mmcid: Switch over to the new mechanism sched/mmcid: Implement deferred mode change irqwork: Move data struct to a types header sched/mmcid: Provide CID ownership mode fixup functions sched/mmcid: Provide new scheduler CID mechanism sched/mmcid: Introduce per task/CPU ownership infrastructure sched/mmcid: Serialize sched_mm_cid_fork()/exit() with a mutex sched/mmcid: Provide precomputed maximal value sched/mmcid: Move initialization out of line signal: Move MMCID exit out of sighand lock sched/mmcid: Convert mm CID mask to a bitmap cpumask: Cache num_possible_cpus() sched/mmcid: Use cpumask_weighted_or() cpumask: Introduce cpumask_weighted_or() sched/mmcid: Prevent pointless work in mm_update_cpus_allowed() sched/mmcid: Move scheduler code out of global header sched: Fixup whitespace damage sched/mmcid: Cacheline align MM CID storage sched/mmcid: Use proper data structures sched/mmcid: Revert the complex CID management ...

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems. Features: - Kernel Credential Guards Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials only to drop them again later. The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in callers. - Generic Credential Guards Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free. - Prepare Credential Guards Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current credentials with them: - prepare_creds() - modify new creds - override_creds() - revert_creds() - put_cred() Cleanups: - Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed - Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials - Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago - coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner credential handling - coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup() - coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const - coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const - sev-dev: use guard for path" * tag 'kernel-6.19-rc1.cred' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (36 commits) trace: use override credential guard trace: use prepare credential guard coredump: use override credential guard coredump: use prepare credential guard coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup() sev-dev: use override credential guards sev-dev: use prepare credential guard sev-dev: use guard for path cred: add prepare credential guard net/dns_resolver: use credential guards in dns_query() cgroup: use credential guards in cgroup_attach_permissions() act: use credential guards in acct_write_process() smb: use credential guards in cifs_get_spnego_key() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_idmap_get_key() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_local_call_write() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_local_call_read() erofs: use credential guards ...

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups. The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support. Features: - listns() system call Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing longstanding limitations: Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across all processes, which is: - Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes - Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or parent references - Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes - No ordering or ownership information - No filtering per namespace type The listns() system call solves these problems: ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids, size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags); struct ns_id_req { __u32 size; __u32 spare; __u64 ns_id; struct /* listns */ { __u32 ns_type; __u32 spare2; __u64 user_ns_id; }; }; Features include: - Pagination support for large namespace sets - Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.) - Filtering by owning user namespace - Permission checks respecting namespace isolation - Active Reference Counting Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following cases: - The namespace is in use by a task - The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file descriptor or bind-mount) - The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child namespaces The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility to namespace file handles and listns(). This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should not be accessible via (1)-(3). - Unified Namespace Tree Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with: - Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces - Lookup based solely on inode number - Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace - Simplified rbtree comparison helpers Cleanups - Header Reorganization: - Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h) - Decouple nstree from ns_common header - Move nstree types into separate header - Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions - Use guards for ns_tree_lock - Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization - Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go away - Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces - Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces - pid: rely on common reference count behavior - Miscellaneous Cleanups - Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces() - Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const - Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace - Simplify owner list iteration in nstree - nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly - nsfs: use inode_just_drop() - pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly - pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls - libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags - cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set - nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces() Fixes: - setns(pidfd, ...) race condition Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active reference count from zero without taking the required reference on the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented. The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped. - Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success - Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last reference) - Don't skip active reference count initialization for network namespace - Add asserts for active refcount underflow - Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive and active) - ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions - Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions - Selftests - 15 active reference count tests - 9 listns() functionality tests - 7 listns() permission tests - 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests - 3 threaded active reference count tests - commit_creds() active reference tests - Pagination and stress tests - EFAULT handling test - nsid tests fixes" * tag 'namespace-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (103 commits) pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls nstree: fix kernel-doc comments for internal functions nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces() selftests/namespaces: fix nsid tests ns: drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces pid: rely on common reference count behavior ns: add asserts for initial namespace active reference counts ns: add asserts for initial namespace reference counts ns: make all reference counts on initial namespace a nop ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions fs: use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace ns: rename is_initial_namespace() ns: make is_initial_namespace() argument const nstree: use guards for ns_tree_lock nstree: simplify owner list iteration nstree: switch to new structures nstree: add helper to operate on struct ns_tree_{node,root} nstree: move nstree types into separate header nstree: decouple from ns_common header ns: move namespace types into separate header ...
