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

<content type='text'>
This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and
ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all
relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in
lib.mk

Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on
riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

<content type='text'>
All architectures implementing time-related functionality in the vDSO are
using the generic vDSO library which handles time namespaces properly.

Remove the now unnecessary Kconfig symbol.

Enables the use of time namespaces on architectures, which use the
generic vDSO but did not enable GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS, namely MIPS and arm.

<title>selftests/pidfd: Fix duplicate-symbol warnings for SCHED_ CPP symbols</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=30fb5e134f05800dc424f8aa1d69841a6bdd9a54'/>
<id>urn:sha1:30fb5e134f05800dc424f8aa1d69841a6bdd9a54</id>
<content type='text'>
The pidfd selftests run in userspace and include both userspace and kernel
header files.  On some distros (for example, CentOS), this results in
duplicate-symbol warnings in allmodconfig builds, while on other distros
(for example, Ubuntu) it does not.

Therefore, use #undef to get rid of the userspace definitions in favor
of the kernel definitions.

Other ways of handling this include splitting up the selftest code so
that the userspace definitions go into one translation unit and the
kernel definitions into another (which might or might not be feasible)
or to adjust compiler command-line options to suppress the warnings
(which might or might not be desirable).

[ paulmck: Apply Shuah Khan feedback. ]

Don't jump somewhere into the middle of the reserved range. We're still
able to change that value it won't be that widely used yet. If not, we
can revert.
