Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"A set of fixes for block that should go into this tree. A bit larger
than what I usually have at this point in time, a lot of that is the
continued fixing of the lockdep annotation for queue freezing that we
recently added, which has highlighted a number of little issues here
and there. This contains:
- MD pull request via Yu:
- Add a legacy_async_del_gendisk mode, to prevent a user tools
regression. New user tools releases will not use such a mode,
the old release with a new kernel now will have warning about
deprecated behavior, and we prepare to remove this legacy mode
after about a year later
- The rename in kernel causing user tools build failure, revert
the rename in mdp_superblock_s
- Fix a regression that interrupted resync can be shown as
recover from mdstat or sysfs
- Improve file size detection for loop, particularly for networked
file systems, by using getattr to get the size rather than the
cached inode size.
- Hotplug CPU lock vs queue freeze fix
- Lockdep fix while updating the number of hardware queues
- Fix stacking for PI devices
- Silence bio_check_eod() for the known case of device removal where
the size is truncated to 0 sectors"

The security-version-number check should be used rather
than the runtime version check for driver updates.
Otherwise, the firmware update would fail when the update binary had
a lower runtime version number than the current one.

commit 907a99c314a5 ("md: rename recovery_cp to resync_offset") replaces
recovery_cp with resync_offset in mdp_superblock_s which is in md_p.h.
md_p.h is used in userspace too. So mdadm building fails because of this.
This patch revert this change.

Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
- Allow vectorized payloads for send/send-zc - like sendmsg, but
without the hassle of a msghdr.
- Fix for an integer wrap that should go to stable, spotted by syzbot.
Nothing alarming here, as you need to be root to hit this.
Nevertheless, it should get fixed.
FWIW, kudos to the syzbot crew for having much nicer reproducers now,
and with nicely annotated source code as well. This is particularly
useful as syzbot uses the raw interface rather than liburing,
historically it's been difficult to turn a syzbot reproducer into a
meaningful test case. With the recent changes, not true anymore!

This was missed during the initial implementation. The VFIO PCI encodes
the vf_token inside the device name when opening the device from the group
FD, something like:
"0000:04:10.0 vf_token=bd8d9d2b-5a5f-4f5a-a211-f591514ba1f3"
This is used to control access to a VF unless there is co-ordination with
the owner of the PF.
Since we no longer have a device name in the cdev path, pass the token
directly through VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD using an optional field
indicated by VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_FLAG_TOKEN.

Alienware calls this key "Performance Boost". Dell calls it "G-Mode".
The goal is to have a specific keycode to detect when this key is
pressed, so userspace can act upon it and do what have to do, usually
starting the power profile for performance.

When booting a new kernel with kexec_file, the kernel picks a target
location that the kernel should live at, then allocates random pages,
checks whether any of those patches magically happens to coincide with a
target address range and if so, uses them for that range.
For every page allocated this way, it then creates a page list that the
relocation code - code that executes while all CPUs are off and we are
just about to jump into the new kernel - copies to their final memory
location. We can not put them there before, because chances are pretty
good that at least some page in the target range is already in use by the
currently running Linux environment. Copying is happening from a single
CPU at RAM rate, which takes around 4-50 ms per 100 MiB.
All of this is inefficient and error prone.
To successfully kexec, we need to quiesce all devices of the outgoing
kernel so they don't scribble over the new kernel's memory. We have seen
cases where that does not happen properly (*cough* GIC *cough*) and hence
the new kernel was corrupted. This started a month long journey to root
cause failing kexecs to eventually see memory corruption, because the new
kernel was corrupted severely enough that it could not emit output to tell
us about the fact that it was corrupted. By allocating memory for the
next kernel from a memory range that is guaranteed scribbling free, we can
boot the next kernel up to a point where it is at least able to detect
corruption and maybe even stop it before it becomes severe. This
increases the chance for successful kexecs.
Since kexec got introduced, Linux has gained the CMA framework which can
perform physically contiguous memory mappings, while keeping that memory
available for movable memory when it is not needed for contiguous
allocations. The default CMA allocator is for DMA allocations.
This patch adds logic to the kexec file loader to attempt to place the
target payload at a location allocated from CMA. If successful, it uses
that memory range directly instead of creating copy instructions during
the hot phase. To ensure that there is a safety net in case anything goes
wrong with the CMA allocation, it also adds a flag for user space to force
disable CMA allocations.
Using CMA allocations has two advantages:
1) Faster by 4-50 ms per 100 MiB. There is no more need to copy in the
hot phase.
2) More robust. Even if by accident some page is still in use for DMA,
the new kernel image will be safe from that access because it resides
in a memory region that is considered allocated in the old kernel and
has a chance to reinitialize that component.

the vhost uses vhost_task and operates as a child of the
owner thread. This is required for correct CPU usage accounting,
especially when using containers.
However, this change has caused confusion for some legacy
userspace applications, and we didn't notice until it's too late.
Unfortunately, it's too late to revert - we now have userspace
depending both on old and new behaviour :(
To address the issue, reintroduce kthread mode for vhost workers and
provide a configuration to select between kthread and task worker.
- Add 'fork_owner' parameter to vhost_dev to let users select kthread
or task mode. Default mode is task mode(VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK).
- Reintroduce kthread mode support:
* Bring back the original vhost_worker() implementation,
and renamed to vhost_run_work_kthread_list().
* Add cgroup support for the kthread
* Introduce struct vhost_worker_ops:
- Encapsulates create / stop / wake‑up callbacks.
- vhost_worker_create() selects the proper ops according to
inherit_owner.
- Userspace configuration interface:
* New IOCTLs:
- VHOST_SET_FORK_FROM_OWNER lets userspace select task mode
(VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK) or kthread mode (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_KTHREAD)
- VHOST_GET_FORK_FROM_OWNER reads the current worker mode
* Expose module parameter 'fork_from_owner_default' to allow system
administrators to configure the default mode for vhost workers
* Kconfig option CONFIG_VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_CONTROL controls whether
these IOCTLs and the parameter are available
- The VHOST_NEW_WORKER functionality requires fork_owner to be set
to true, with validation added to ensure proper configuration
This partially reverts or improves upon:

Pull iommufd updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
"This broadly brings the assigned HW command queue support to iommufd.
This feature is used to improve SVA performance in VMs by avoiding
paravirtualization traps during SVA invalidations.
Along the way I think some of the core logic is in a much better state
to support future driver backed features.
Summary:
- IOMMU HW now has features to directly assign HW command queues to a
guest VM. In this mode the command queue operates on a limited set
of invalidation commands that are suitable for improving guest
invalidation performance and easy for the HW to virtualize.
This brings the generic infrastructure to allow IOMMU drivers to
expose such command queues through the iommufd uAPI, mmap the
doorbell pages, and get the guest physical range for the command
queue ring itself.
- An implementation for the NVIDIA SMMUv3 extension "cmdqv" is built
on the new iommufd command queue features. It works with the
existing SMMU driver support for cmdqv in guest VMs.
- Many precursor cleanups and improvements to support the above
cleanly, changes to the general ioctl and object helpers, driver
support for VDEVICE, and mmap pgoff cookie infrastructure.
- Sequence VDEVICE destruction to always happen before VFIO device
destruction. When using the above type features, and also in future
confidential compute, the internal virtual device representation
becomes linked to HW or CC TSM configuration and objects. If a VFIO
device is removed from iommufd those HW objects should also be
cleaned up to prevent a sort of UAF. This became important now that
we have HW backing the VDEVICE.
- Fix one syzkaller found error related to math overflows during iova
allocation"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts
- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface
- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally
- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
perform cache maintenance on the address range
- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the
guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take
traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor
- Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven
implementation
- Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3
system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the
ONE_REG vCPU ioctls
- Various cleanups and minor fixes
LoongArch:
- Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip
- Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits
- Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation
- Various cleanups
RISC-V:
- Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking
- Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events
- Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode
- MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization
s390x
- Fixes
x86:
- Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O
APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time
- Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it
against bugs and runtime errors
- Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups
O(1) instead of O(n)
- For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has
access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO
pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are
more or less identical
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes,
instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction
that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated
independently
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the
vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting
the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every
possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard
and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid
state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until
KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling
interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured
VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF
cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and
resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration)
but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux
guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been
created, as there's no known use case for changing the default
frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason
why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there
would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a
"secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone
- Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU
doesn't use the list)
- Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local
APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side
code for Secure AVIC
- Various cleanups and fixes
x86 (Intel):
- Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest.
Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support,
e.g. BTF
x86 (AMD):
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel
if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which
is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never
happen, but still)
- Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code
- Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation
- Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving
IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry
- Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected
by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs
- Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is
blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake
the vCPU
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to
the vCPU's CPUID model
- Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect
to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy
doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for
KVM to care
- Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and
use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache
maintenance
- When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on
CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the
caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty,
encrypted data
Generic:
- Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an
xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to
O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases
that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't
actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration
is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI
- Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a
"void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult
to understand
- Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding
a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device
posted IRQs
- Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code
- Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority
waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd
through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd
bindings are globally unique
- Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues
related to private <=> shared memory conversions
- Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will
call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL
- Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the
processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep
KVM in a tight loop indefinitely
- Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated
tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a
heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation
Selftests:
- Fix a comment typo
- Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that
attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a
SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random
parameter not existing)
- Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and
print a "Root required?" help message. In most cases, the test just
needs to be run with elevated permissions"

'recovery_cp' was used to represent the progress of sync, but its name
contains recovery, which can cause confusion. Replaces 'recovery_cp'
with 'resync_offset' for clarity.

At the moment you have to use sendmsg for vectorized send.
While this works it's suboptimal as it also means you need to
allocate a struct msghdr that needs to be kept alive until a
submission happens. We can remove this limitation by just
allowing to use send directly.

Pull timekeeping and VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Introduce support for auxiliary timekeepers
PTP clocks can be disconnected from the universal CLOCK_TAI reality
for various reasons including regularatory requirements for
functional safety redundancy.
The kernel so far only supports a single notion of time, which means
that all clocks are correlated in frequency and only differ by offset
to each other.
Access to non-correlated PTP clocks has been available so far only
through the file descriptor based "POSIX clock IDs", which are
subject to locking and have to go all the way out to the hardware.
The access is not only horribly slow, as it has to go all the way out
to the NIC/PTP hardware, but that also prevents the kernel to read
the time of such clocks e.g. from the network stack, where it is
required for TSN networking both on the transmit and receive side
unless the hardware provides offloading.
The auxiliary clocks provide a mechanism to support arbitrary clocks
which are not correlated to the system clock. This is not restricted
to the PTP use case on purpose as there is no kernel side association
of these clocks to a particular PTP device because that's a pure user
space configuration decision. Having them independent allows to
utilize them for other purposes and also enables them to be tested
without hardware dependencies.
To avoid pointless overhead these clocks have to be enabled
individualy via a new sysfs interface to reduce the overhead to a
single compare in the hotpath if they are enabled at the Kconfig
level at all.
These clocks utilize the existing timekeeping/NTP infrastructures,
which has been made possible over the recent releases by incrementaly
converting these infrastructures over from a single static instance
to a multi-instance pointer based implementation without any
performance regression reported.
The auxiliary clocks provide the same "emulation" of a "correct"
clock as the existing CLOCK_* variants do with an independent
instance of data and provide the same steering mechanism through the
existing sys_clock_adjtime() interface, which has been confirmed to
work by the chronyd(8) maintainer.
That allows to provide lockless kernel internal and VDSO support so
that applications and kernel internal functionalities can access
these clocks without restrictions and at the same performance as the
existing system clocks.
- Avoid double notifications in the adjtimex() syscall. Not a big
issue, but a trivial to avoid latency source.

KVM/arm64 changes for 6.17, round #1
- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts.
- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface.
- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on hardware
that previously advertised it unconditionally.
- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on systems
with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to perform cache
maintenance on the address range.
- Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the guest
hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of
masked external aborts to the hypervisor.

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.17
- Prevert the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM (Intel only) when running the
guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can bleed host state into the guest.
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter (Intel only) to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF.
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the
vCPU's CPUID model.
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or
less identical.
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from the "source" on MSR filter changes, and
drop the dedicated "shadow" bitmaps (and their awful "max" size defines).
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the
nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR.
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction that's
loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated independently.
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by stuffing INIT_RECEIVED,
a.k.a. WFS, and then putting the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Use
the same approach KVM uses for dealing with "impossible" emulation when
running a !URG guest, and simply wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU
has architecturally impossible state.
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of
APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can "virtualize"
APERF/MPERF (with many caveats).
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ if vCPUs have been created, as changing the "default"
frequency is unsupported for VMs with a "secure" TSC, and there's no known
use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Optimization to avoid reference counts on non-cloned registered
buffers. This is how these buffers were handled prior to having
cloning support, and we can still use that approach as long as the
buffers haven't been cloned to another ring.
- Cleanup and improvement for uring_cmd, where btrfs was the only user
of storing allocated data for the lifetime of the uring_cmd. Clean
that up so we can get rid of the need to do that.
- Avoid unnecessary memory copies in uring_cmd usage. This is
particularly important as a lot of uring_cmd usage necessitates the
use of 128b SQEs.
- A few updates for recv multishot, where it's now possible to add
fairness limits for limiting how much is transferred for each retry
loop. Additionally, recv multishot now supports an overall cap as
well, where once reached the multishot recv will terminate. The
latter is useful for buffer management and juggling many recv streams
at the same time.
- Add support for returning the TX timestamps via a new socket command.
This feature can work in either singleshot or multishot mode, where
the latter triggers a completion whenever new timestamps are
available. This is an alternative to using the existing error queue.
- Add support for an io_uring "mock" file, which is the start of being
able to do 100% targeted testing in terms of exercising io_uring
request handling. The idea is to have a file type that can be
anything the tester would like, and behave exactly how you want it to
behave in terms of hitting the code paths you want.

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

Pull vfs 'protection info' updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the new FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP ioctl() to query metadata and
protection info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information
about the files integrity profile. This is useful for userspace
applications to understand a files end-to-end data protection support
and configure the I/O accordingly.
For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the
design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us
to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when
filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts.
A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which
contains the following fields:
- lbmd_flags:
bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags
- lbmd_interval:
the amount of data described by each unit of logical block metadata
- lbmd_size:
size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated with each
interval
- lbmd_opaque_size:

- lbmd_opaque_offset:

- lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size:

- lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size:
size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag

Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
- persistent info
Persist exit and coredump information independent of whether anyone
currently holds a pidfd for the struct pid.
The current scheme allocated pidfs dentries on-demand repeatedly.
This scheme is reaching it's limits as it makes it impossible to pin
information that needs to be available after the task has exited or
coredumped and that should not be lost simply because the pidfd got
closed temporarily. The next opener should still see the stashed
information.
This is also a prerequisite for supporting extended attributes on
pidfds to allow attaching meta information to them.
If someone opens a pidfd for a struct pid a pidfs dentry is allocated
and stashed in pid->stashed. Once the last pidfd for the struct pid
is closed the pidfs dentry is released and removed from pid->stashed.
So if 10 callers create a pidfs dentry for the same struct pid
sequentially, i.e., each closing the pidfd before the other creates a
new one then a new pidfs dentry is allocated every time.
Because multiple tasks acquiring and releasing a pidfd for the same
struct pid can race with each another a task may still find a valid
pidfs entry from the previous task in pid->stashed and reuse it. Or
it might find a dead dentry in there and fail to reuse it and so
stashes a new pidfs dentry. Multiple tasks may race to stash a new
pidfs dentry but only one will succeed, the other ones will put their
dentry.
The current scheme aims to ensure that a pidfs dentry for a struct
pid can only be created if the task is still alive or if a pidfs
dentry already existed before the task was reaped and so exit
information has been was stashed in the pidfs inode.
That's great except that it's buggy. If a pidfs dentry is stashed in
pid->stashed after pidfs_exit() but before __unhash_process() is
called we will return a pidfd for a reaped task without exit
information being available.
The pidfds_pid_valid() check does not guard against this race as it
doens't sync at all with pidfs_exit(). The pid_has_task() check might
be successful simply because we're before __unhash_process() but
after pidfs_exit().
Introduce a new scheme where the lifetime of information associated
with a pidfs entry (coredump and exit information) isn't bound to the
lifetime of the pidfs inode but the struct pid itself.
The first time a pidfs dentry is allocated for a struct pid a struct
pidfs_attr will be allocated which will be used to store exit and
coredump information.
If all pidfs for the pidfs dentry are closed the dentry and inode can
be cleaned up but the struct pidfs_attr will stick until the struct
pid itself is freed. This will ensure minimal memory usage while
persisting relevant information.
The new scheme has various advantages. First, it allows to close the
race where we end up handing out a pidfd for a reaped task for which
no exit information is available. Second, it minimizes memory usage.
Third, it allows to remove complex lifetime tracking via dentries
when registering a struct pid with pidfs. There's no need to get or
put a reference. Instead, the lifetime of exit and coredump
information associated with a struct pid is bound to the lifetime of
struct pid itself.
- extended attributes
Now that we have a way to persist information for pidfs dentries we
can start supporting extended attributes on pidfds. This will allow
userspace to attach meta information to tasks.
One natural extension would be to introduce a custom pidfs.* extended
attribute space and allow for the inheritance of extended attributes
across fork() and exec().
The first simple scheme will allow privileged userspace to set
trusted extended attributes on pidfs inodes.
- Allow autonomous pidfs file handles
Various filesystems such as pidfs and drm support opening file
handles without having to require a file descriptor to identify the
filesystem. The filesystem are global single instances and can be
trivially identified solely on the information encoded in the file
handle.
This makes it possible to not have to keep or acquire a sentinal file
descriptor just to pass it to open_by_handle_at() to identify the
filesystem. That's especially useful when such sentinel file
descriptor cannot or should not be acquired.
For pidfs this means a file handle can function as full replacement
for storing a pid in a file. Instead a file handle can be stored and
reopened purely based on the file handle.
Such autonomous file handles can be opened with or without specifying
a a file descriptor. If no proper file descriptor is used the
FD_PIDFS_ROOT sentinel must be passed. This allows us to define
further special negative fd sentinels in the future.
Userspace can trivially test for support by trying to open the file
handle with an invalid file descriptor.
- Allow pidfds for reaped tasks with SCM_PIDFD messages
This is a logical continuation of the earlier work to create pidfds
for reaped tasks through the SO_PEERPIDFD socket option merged in
923ea4d4482b ("Merge patch series "net, pidfs: enable handing out

Pull fallocate updates from Christian Brauner:
"fallocate() currently supports creating preallocated files
efficiently. However, on most filesystems fallocate() will preallocate
blocks in an unwriten state even if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is specified.
The extent state must later be converted to a written state when the
user writes data into this range, which can trigger numerous metadata
changes and journal I/O. This may leads to significant write
amplification and performance degradation in synchronous write mode.
At the moment, the only method to avoid this is to create an empty
file and write zero data into it (for example, using 'dd' with a large
block size). However, this method is slow and consumes a considerable
amount of disk bandwidth.
Now that more and more flash-based storage devices are available it is
possible to efficiently write zeros to SSDs using the unmap write
zeroes command if the devices do not write physical zeroes to the
media.
For example, if SCSI SSDs support the UMMAP bit or NVMe SSDs support
the DEAC bit[1], the write zeroes command does not write actual data
to the device, instead, NVMe converts the zeroed range to a
deallocated state, which works fast and consumes almost no disk write
bandwidth.
This series implements the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP feature and
BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED flag for SCSI, NVMe and
device-mapper drivers, and add the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES and
STATX_ATTR_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP support for ext4 and raw bdev devices.
fallocate() is subsequently extended with the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES
flag. FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES zeroes a specified file range in such a
way that subsequent writes to that range do not require further
changes to the file mapping metadata. This flag is beneficial for
subsequent pure overwriting within this range, as it can save on block
allocation and, consequently, significant metadata changes"

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains namespace updates. This time specifically for nsfs:
- Userspace heavily relies on the root inode numbers for namespaces
to identify the initial namespaces. That's already a hard
dependency. So we cannot change that anymore. Move the initial
inode numbers to a public header and align the only two namespaces
that currently don't do that with all the other namespaces.
- The root inode of /proc having a fixed inode number has been part
of the core kernel ABI since its inception, and recently some
userspace programs (mainly container runtimes) have started to
explicitly depend on this behaviour.
The main reason this is useful to userspace is that by checking
that a suspect /proc handle has fstype PROC_SUPER_MAGIC and is
PROCFS_ROOT_INO, they can then use openat2() together with
RESOLVE_{NO_{XDEV,MAGICLINK},BENEATH} to ensure that there isn't a
bind-mount that replaces some procfs file with a different one.
This kind of attack has lead to security issues in container
runtimes in the past (such as CVE-2019-19921) and libraries like
libpathrs[1] use this feature of procfs to provide safe procfs
handling functions"

Pull coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains an extension to the coredump socket and a proper rework
of the coredump code.
- This extends the coredump socket to allow the coredump server to
tell the kernel how to process individual coredumps. This allows
for fine-grained coredump management. Userspace can decide to just
let the kernel write out the coredump, or generate the coredump
itself, or just reject it.
* COREDUMP_KERNEL
The kernel will write the coredump data to the socket.
* COREDUMP_USERSPACE
The kernel will not write coredump data but will indicate to the
parent that a coredump has been generated. This is used when
userspace generates its own coredumps.
* COREDUMP_REJECT
The kernel will skip generating a coredump for this task.
* COREDUMP_WAIT
The kernel will prevent the task from exiting until the coredump
server has shutdown the socket connection.
The flexible coredump socket can be enabled by using the "@@"
prefix instead of the single "@" prefix for the regular coredump
socket:
@@/run/systemd/coredump.socket
- Cleanup the coredump code properly while we have to touch it
anyway.
Split out each coredump mode in a separate helper so it's easy to

Pull asm/param cleanup from Al Viro:
"This massages asm/param.h to simpler and more uniform shape:
- all arch/*/include/uapi/asm/param.h are either generated includes
of <asm-generic/param.h> or a #define or two followed by such
include
- no arch/*/include/asm/param.h anywhere, generated or not
- include <asm/param.h> resolves to arch/*/include/uapi/asm/param.h
of the architecture in question (or that of host in case of uml)
- include/asm-generic/param.h pulls uapi/asm-generic/param.h and
deals with USER_HZ, CLOCKS_PER_SEC and with HZ redefinition after
that"
* tag 'pull-headers_param' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
loongarch, um, xtensa: get rid of generated arch/$ARCH/include/asm/param.h
alpha: regularize the situation with asm/param.h
xtensa: get rid uapi/asm/param.h

Many controllers these days have started including grip buttons. As
there has been no particular assigned BTN_* constants for these, they've
been haphazardly assigned to BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY*. Unfortunately, the
assignment of these has varied significantly between drivers.
Add and document new constants for these grip buttons.
