      fsverity: constify fsverity_hash_alg · 32ab3c5e
      Eric Biggers authored 
      Now that fsverity_hash_alg doesn't have an embedded mempool, it can be
'const' almost everywhere.  Add it.

      fsverity: use shash API instead of ahash API · 8fcd94ad
      Eric Biggers authored 
      The "ahash" API, like the other scatterlist-based crypto APIs such as
"skcipher", comes with some well-known limitations.  First, it can't
easily be used with vmalloc addresses.  Second, the request struct can't
be allocated on the stack.  This adds complexity and a possible failure
point that needs to be worked around, e.g. using a mempool.

The only benefit of ahash over "shash" is that ahash is needed to access
traditional memory-to-memory crypto accelerators, i.e. drivers/crypto/.
However, this style of crypto acceleration has largely fallen out of
favor and been superseded by CPU-based acceleration or inline crypto
engines.  Also, ahash needs to be used asynchronously to take full
advantage of such hardware, but fs/verity/ has never done this.

On all systems that aren't actually using one of these ahash-only crypto
accelerators, ahash just adds unnecessary overhead as it sits between
the user and the underlying shash algorithms.

Also, XFS is planned to cache fsverity Merkle tree blocks in the
existing XFS buffer cache.  As a result, it will be possible for a
single Merkle tree block to be split across discontiguous pages
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230405233753.GU3223426@dread.disaster.area).
This data will need to be hashed.  It is easiest to work with a vmapped
address in this case.  However, ahash is incompatible with this.

Therefore, let's convert fs/verity/ from ahash to shash.  This
simplifies the code, and it should also slightly improve performance for
everyone who wasn't actually using one of these ahash-only crypto
accelerators, i.e. almost everyone (or maybe even everyone)!

      x86/retbleed: Fix return thunk alignment · 9a48d604
      Borislav Petkov (AMD) authored 
      SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN() adds an endbr leading to this layout
(leaving only the last 2 bytes of the address):

  3bff <zen_untrain_ret>:
  3bff:       f3 0f 1e fa             endbr64
  3c03:       f6                      test   $0xcc,%bl

  3c04 <__x86_return_thunk>:
  3c04:       c3                      ret
  3c05:       cc                      int3
  3c06:       0f ae e8                lfence

However, "the RET at __x86_return_thunk must be on a 64 byte boundary,
for alignment within the BTB."

Use SYM_START instead.

      Pull more btrfs fixes from David Sterba:

 - fix incorrect number of bitmap entries for space cache if loading is
   interrupted by some error

 - fix backref walking, this breaks a mode of LOGICAL_INO_V2 ioctl that
   is used in deduplication tools

 - zoned mode fixes:
      - properly finish zone reserved for relocation
      - correctly calculate super block zone end on ZNS
      - properly initialize new extent buffer for redirty

 - make mount option clear_cache work with block-group-tree, to rebuild
   free-space-tree instead of temporarily disabling it that would lead
   to a forced read-only mount

 - fix alignment check for offset when printing extent item

 "Just a single fix this week for a build issue. That'd usually be a
  good sign, but we've started to get some reports of boot failures on
  some hardware/bootloader configurations. Nothing concrete yet, but
  I've got a funny feeling that's where much of the bug hunting is going
  right now.

  Nothing's reproducing on my end, though, and this fixes some pretty
  concrete issues so I figured there's no reason to delay it:

   - a fix to the linker script to avoid orpahaned sections in
     kernel/pi"

      pipe: check for IOCB_NOWAIT alongside O_NONBLOCK · c04fe8e3
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Pipe reads or writes need to enable nonblocking attempts, if either
O_NONBLOCK is set on the file, or IOCB_NOWAIT is set in the iocb being
passed in. The latter isn't currently true, ensure we check for both
before waiting on data or space.
