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)

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "This excludes the bulk of the x86 changes, which I will send
  separately. They have two not complex but relatively unusual conflicts
  so I will wait for other dust to settle.

  guest_memfd:

   - Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory
     for VM types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE
     (which isn't precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's
     SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have no way to detect private vs. shared).

     This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the
     kernel direct map, as well as for limited mmap() for
     guest_memfd-backed memory.

     For more information see:
       - commit a6ad54137af9 ("Merge branch 'guest-memfd-mmap' into HEAD")
       - guest_memfd in Firecracker:
           https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/tree/feature/secret-hiding
       - direct map removal:
           https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250221160728.1584559-1-roypat@amazon.co.uk/
       - mmap support:
           https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250328153133.3504118-1-tabba@google.com/

  ARM:

   - Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
     allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.

   - Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
     privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
     data.

   - Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
     synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.

   - Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
     payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This
     will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.

   - Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
     of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
     to translate a stage-1 walk.

   - Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
     feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.

   - Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
     in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
     least correct.

   - Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
     give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then
     allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
     migration.

   - Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
     transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
     NV testing.

   - Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
     fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.

  LoongArch:

   - Detect page table walk feature on new hardware

   - Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation

   - Improve in-kernel IPI emulation

   - Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation

   - Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code

  RISC-V:

   - Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned delegation
     and pointer masking PMLEN features

   - Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension

   - Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM

   - Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V

   - Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver

  s390:

   - Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, in particular the heuristic to
     decide which vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to.

   - Clear the PTE when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this
     bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code.

  x86 selftests:

   - Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's
     guest- triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions).

   - Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR),
     Sierra Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF).

   - Minor cleanups and improvements

  x86 (guest side):

   - For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when
     overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI
     auto-mapping could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers
     from mapping their devices with UC/UC-.

   - Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its
     export.

   - Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated
     vCPU=&gt;pCPU bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.

  Generic:

   - Remove a redundant __GFP_NOWARN from kvm_setup_async_pf() as
     __GFP_NOWARN is now included in GFP_NOWAIT.

<title>rseq/selftests: Use weak symbol reference, not definition, to link with glibc</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a001cd248ab244633c5fabe4f7c707e13fc1d1cc</id>
<content type='text'>
Add "extern" to the glibc-defined weak rseq symbols to convert the rseq
selftest's usage from weak symbol definitions to weak symbol _references_.
Effectively re-defining the glibc symbols wreaks havoc when building with
-fno-common, e.g. generates segfaults when running multi-threaded programs,
as dynamically linked applications end up with multiple versions of the
symbols.

Building with -fcommon, which until recently has the been the default for
GCC and clang, papers over the bug by allowing the linker to resolve the
weak/tentative definition to glibc's "real" definition.

Note, the symbol itself (or rather its address), not the value of the
symbol, is set to 0/NULL for unresolved weak symbol references, as the
symbol doesn't exist and thus can't have a value.  Check for a NULL rseq
size pointer to handle the scenario where the test is statically linked
against a libc that doesn't support rseq in any capacity.

When the rseq UAPI header is included, 'union rseq' clashes with 'struct
rseq'. It's not the case in the rseq selftests but it does break the KVM
selftests that also include this file.

Rename 'union rseq' to 'union rseq_tls' to fix this.

Adding the aligned(1024) attribute to the definition of __rseq_abi did
not increase its size to 1024, for this attribute to impact the size of
__rseq_abi it would need to be added to the declaration of 'struct
rseq_abi'. We only want to increase the size of the TLS allocation to
ensure registration will succeed with future extended ABI. Use a union
with a dummy member to ensure we allocate 1024 bytes.
