      Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
       "The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation
        in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for
        everyone and we can proceed.
      
        Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing
        kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects,
        which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had
        no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be
        necessary anymore.
      
        Besides that, there are several small code and comment improvements
        from Thomas, Thorsten and Vernon"

      Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
       "ACPI:
      
         - Improve error reporting when failing to manage SDEI on AGDI device
           removal
      
        Assembly routines:
      
         - Improve register constraints so that the compiler can make use of
           the zero register instead of moving an immediate #0 into a GPR
      
         - Allow the compiler to allocate the registers used for CAS
           instructions
      
        CPU features and system registers:
      
         - Cleanups to the way in which CPU features are identified from the
           ID register fields
      
         - Extend system register definition generation to handle Enum types
           when defining shared register fields
      
         - Generate definitions for new _EL2 registers and add new fields for
           ID_AA64PFR1_EL1
      
         - Allow SVE to be disabled separately from SME on the kernel
           command-line
      
        Tracing:
      
         - Support for "direct calls" in ftrace, which enables BPF tracing for
           arm64
      
        Kdump:
      
         - Don't bother unmapping the crashkernel from the linear mapping,
           which then allows us to use huge (block) mappings and reduce TLB
           pressure when a crashkernel is loaded.
      
        Memory management:
      
         - Try again to remove data cache invalidation from the coherent DMA
           allocation path
      
         - Simplify the fixmap code by mapping at page granularity
      
         - Allow the kfence pool to be allocated early, preventing the rest of
           the linear mapping from being forced to page granularity
      
        Perf and PMU:
      
         - Move CPU PMU code out to drivers/perf/ where it can be reused by
           the 32-bit ARM architecture when running on ARMv8 CPUs
      
         - Fix race between CPU PMU probing and pKVM host de-privilege
      
         - Add support for Apple M2 CPU PMU
      
         - Adjust the generic PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS event
           dynamically, depending on what the CPU actually supports
      
         - Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers
      
        Stack tracing:
      
         - Use the XPACLRI instruction to strip PAC from pointers, rather than
           rolling our own function in C
      
         - Remove redundant PAC removal for toolchains that handle this in
           their builtins
      
         - Make backtracing more resilient in the face of instrumentation
      
        Miscellaneous:
      
         - Fix single-step with KGDB
      
         - Remove harmless warning when 'nokaslr' is passed on the kernel
           command-line
      
         - Minor fixes and cleanups across the board"

      Pull ARM SoC devicetree updates from Arnd Bergmann:
       "The devicetree changes overall are again dominated by the Qualcomm
        Snapdragon platform that weighs in at over 300 changesets, but there
        are many updates across other platforms as well, notably Mediatek,
        NXP, Rockchips, Renesas, TI, Samsung and ST Microelectronics. These
        all add new features for existing machines, as well as new machines
        and SoCs.
      
        The newly added SoCs are:
      
         - Allwinner T113-s, an Cortex-A7 based variant of the RISC-V based D1
           chip.
      
         - StarFive JH7110, a RISC-V SoC based on the Sifive U74 core like its
           JH7100 predecessor, but with additional CPU cores and a GPU.
      
         - Apple M2 as used in current Macbook Air/Pro and Mac Mini gets
           added, with comparable support as its M1 predecessor.
      
         - Unisoc UMS512 (Tiger T610) is a midrange smartphone SoC
      
         - Qualcomm IPQ5332 and IPQ9574 are Wi-Fi 7 networking SoCs, based on
           the Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A73 cores, respectively.
      
         - Qualcomm sa8775p is an automotive SoC derived from the Snapdragon
           family.
      
        Including the initial board support for the added SoC platforms, there
        are 52 new machines. The largest group are 19 boards industrial
        embedded boards based on the NXP i.MX6 (32-bit) and i.MX8 (64-bit)
        families.
      
        Others include:
      
         - Two boards based on the Allwinner f1c200s ultra-low-cost chip
      
         - Three 'Banana Pi' variants based on the Amlogic g12b (A311D, S922X)
           SoC.
      
         - The Gl.Inet mv1000 router based on Marvell Armada 3720
      
         - A Wifi/LTE Dongle based on Qualcomm msm8916
      
         - Two robotics boards based on Qualcomm QRB chips
      
         - Three Snapdragon based phones made by Xiaomi
      
         - Five developments boards based on various Rockchip SoCs, including
           the rk3588s-khadas-edge2 and a few NanoPi models
      
         - The AM625 Beagleplay industrial SBC
      
        Another 14 machines get removed: both boards for the obsolete 'oxnas'
        platform, three boards for the Renesas r8a77950 SoC that were only for
        pre-production chips, and various chromebook models based on the
        Qualcomm Sc7180 'trogdor' design that were never part of products"

      Pull ARM SoC updates from Arnd Bergmann:
       "The Oxford Semiconductor OX810/OX820 'Oxnas' platform gets retired
        after the ARM11MPcore processor keeps causing problems in certain
        corner cases. OX820 was the only remaining SoC with this core after
        CNS3xxx got retired, and its driver support was never completely
        merged upstream. The Arm 'Realview' reference platform still supports
        ARM11MPCore in principle, but this was never a product, and the CPU
        support will get cleaned up later on.
      
        Another series updates the mv78xx0 platform, which has been similarly
        neglected for a while, but should work properly again now.
      
        The other changes are minor cleanups across platforms, mostly
        converting code to more modern interfaces for DT nodes and removing

         makes it two round on success.
      
         Convert it to atomic_try_cmpxchg() which does the right thing.
      
       - Handle IO/APIC less systems correctly
      
         When IO/APIC is not advertised by ACPI then the computation of the
         lower bound for dynamically allocated interrupts like MSI goes wrong.
      
         This lower bound is used to exclude the IO/APIC legacy GSI space as
         that must stay reserved for the legacy interrupts.
      
         In case that the system, e.g. VM, does not advertise an IO/APIC the
         lower bound stays at 0.
      
         0 is an invalid interrupt number except for the legacy timer
         interrupt on x86. The return value is unchecked in the core code, so
         it ends up to allocate interrupt number 0 which is subsequently
         considered to be invalid by the caller, e.g. the MSI allocation code.
      
         A similar problem was already cured for device tree based systems
         years ago, but that missed - or did not envision - the zero IO/APIC
         case.
      
         Consolidate the zero check and return the provided "from" argument to
         the core code call site, which is guaranteed to be greater than 0.
      
       - Simplify the X2APIC cluster CPU mask logic for CPU hotplug
      
         Per cluster CPU masks are required for X2APIC in cluster mode to
         determine the correct cluster for a target CPU when calculating the
         destination for IPIs
      
         These masks are established when CPUs are borught up. The first CPU
         in a cluster must allocate a new cluster CPU mask. As this happens
         during the early startup of a CPU, where memory allocations cannot be
         done, the mask has to be allocated by the control CPU.
      
         The current implementation allocates a clustermask just in case and
         if the to be brought up CPU is the first in a cluster the CPU takes
         over this allocation from a global pointer.
      
         This works nicely in the fully serialized CPU bringup scenario which
         is used today, but would fail completely for parallel bringup of
         CPUs.
      
         The cluster association of a CPU can be computed from the APIC ID
         which is enumerated by ACPI/MADT.
      
         So the cluster CPU masks can be preallocated and associated upfront
         and the upcoming CPUs just need to set their corresponding bit.
      
         Aside of preparing for parallel bringup this is a valuable
         simplification on its own.
      
       - Remove global variables which control the early startup of secondary
         CPUs on 64-bit
      
         The only information which is needed by a starting CPU is the Linux
         CPU number. The CPU number allows it to retrieve the rest of the
         required data from already existing per CPU storage.
      
         So instead of initial_stack, early_gdt_desciptor and initial_gs
         provide a new variable smpboot_control which contains the Linux CPU
         number for now. The starting CPU can retrieve and compute all
         required information for startup from there.
      
         Aside of being a cleanup, this is also preparing for parallel CPU
         bringup, where starting CPUs will look up their Linux CPU number via
         the APIC ID, when smpboot_control has the corresponding control bit
         set.
      
       - Make cc_vendor globally accesible
      
         Subsequent parallel bringup changes require access to cc_vendor
         because confidental computing platforms need special treatment in the
         early startup phase vs. CPUID and APCI ID readouts.
      
         The change makes cc_vendor global and provides stub accessors in case
         that CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM is not set.
      
         This was merged from the x86/cc branch in anticipation of further
         parallel bringup commits which require access to cc_vendor. Due to
         late discoveries of fundamental issue with those patches these
         commits never happened.
      
         The merge commit is unfortunately in the middle of the APIC commits
         so unraveling it would have required a rebase or revert. As the
         parallel bringup seems to be well on its way for 6.5 this would be
         just pointless churn. As the commit does not contain any functional
         change it's not a risk to keep it.

      Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
      
       - Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations
      
         VDSO does not allow dynamic relocations, but the build time check is
         incomplete and fragile.
      
         It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search
         for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly.
         R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they
         fail to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros.
         R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they
         should be ignored in the build time check too.
      
         Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and
         validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up in
         the VSDO .so file.
      
       - Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for
         CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers
      
         Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a
         process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current
         task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread.
      
         As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be
         delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current
         task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand.
      
         This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the
         signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context of
         different threads close to each other better.
      
       - Align the tick period properly (again)
      
         For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which
         allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to
         place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the
         tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by
         intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource
         is installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick
         period advances from there.
      
         The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the
         time accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when
         timekeeping is initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is
         not longer a multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications
         which relied on that behaviour.
      
         Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of
         tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ.
      
       - A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements:
      
           * Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime
             statistics
      
             The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated
             from the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that
             happens without any form of serialization. As a consequence
             sleeptimes can be accounted twice or worse.
      
             Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
             local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
             value.
      
           * Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count
      
             Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race
             with idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result
             in random and potentially going backwards values.
      
             Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
             statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
             iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing
             the remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible
             to fix, so the only way to deal with that is to document it
             properly and to remove the assertion in the selftest which
             triggers occasionally due to that.
      
           * Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout
      
           * Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct
             tick_sched
      
       - Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU
         timers
      
         For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running()
         callback missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for
         almost four years.
      
         While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
         deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels,
         it turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
         implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.
      
         The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled
         systems there is a livelock issue independent of RT.
      
         CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU
         timers out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled
         before returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves
         the expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held.
         Once sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which
         wants to delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is
         scheduled back in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock
         when the preempting task and the expiry task are pinned on the same
         CPU.
      
         The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which
         uses a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry
         code and the task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks
         on that lock.
      
         This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is
         no timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
         belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry
         lock can be used too in a slightly different way.
      
         Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry
         task hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task
         which waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.
      
         In the non-contended case this results in an extra
         mutex_lock()/unlock() pair on both sides.
      
         This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents
         the livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems

      Pull core debugobjects update from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A single update to debugobjects:
      
        Prevent a race vs statically initialized objects. Such objects are
        usually not initialized via an init() function. They are special cased
        and detected on first use under the assumption that they are already
        correctly initialized via the static initializer.
      
        This works correctly unless there are two concurrent debug object
        operations on such an object.
      
        The first one detects that the object is not yet tracked and tries to
        establish a tracking object after dropping the debug objects hash
        bucket lock. The concurrent operation does the same. The one which
        wins the race ends up modifying the state of the object which makes
        the other one fail resulting in a bogus debug objects warning.
      
        Prevent this by making the detection of a static object and the
        allocation of a tracking object atomic under the hash bucket lock. So
        the first one to acquire the hash bucket lock will succeed and the
        second one will observe the correct tracking state.
      
        This race existed forever but was only exposed when the timer wheel
        code added a debug_object_assert_init() call outside of the timer base
        locked region. This replaced the previous warning about
        timer::function being NULL which had to be removed when the

       "In this cycle, sub-page block support for uncompressed files is

        could also use this feature to build a manifest to directly refer to
        golden tar data.
      
        Besides, long xattr name prefix support is also introduced in this
        cycle to avoid too many xattrs with the same prefix (e.g. overlayfs
        xattrs). It's useful for erofs + overlayfs combination (like Composefs
        model): the image size is reduced by ~14% and runtime performance is
        also slightly improved.
      
        Others are random fixes and cleanups as usual.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Add sub-page block size support for uncompressed files

           wait_event_interruptible_*() apis, convert eventfd as well. This
           removes the complex open-coded wait code (Wen Yang)
      
         - Simplify sysctl registration for devpts, avoiding the declaration
           of two tables. Instead, just use a prefixed path with
           register_sysctl() (Luis)
      
         - The setattr_should_drop_sgid() helper is now exported so NFS can
           use it. By switching NFS to this helper an NFS setgid inheritance

      Pull acl updates from Christian Brauner:
       "After finishing the introduction of the new posix acl api last cycle
        the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers are still around in the
        filesystems xattr handlers for two reasons:
      
         (1) Because a few filesystems rely on the ->list() method of the
             generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers in their ->listxattr() inode
             operation.
      
         (2) POSIX ACLs are only available if IOP_XATTR is raised. The
             IOP_XATTR flag is raised in inode_init_always() based on whether
             the sb->s_xattr pointer is non-NULL. IOW, the registered xattr
             handlers of the filesystem are used to raise IOP_XATTR. Removing
             the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from all filesystems would
             risk regressing filesystems that only implement POSIX ACL support
             and no other xattrs (nfs3 comes to mind).
      
        This contains the work to decouple POSIX ACLs from the IOP_XATTR flag
        as they don't depend on xattr handlers anymore. So it's now possible
        to remove the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from the sb->s_xattr
        list of all filesystems. This is a crucial step as the generic POSIX
        ACL xattr handlers aren't used for POSIX ACLs anymore and POSIX ACLs
        don't depend on the xattr infrastructure anymore.
      
        Adressing problem (1) will require more long-term work. It would be
        best to get rid of the ->list() method of xattr handlers completely at
        some point.
      
        For erofs, ext{2,4}, f2fs, jffs2, ocfs2, and reiserfs the nop POSIX
        ACL xattr handler is kept around so they can continue to use
        array-based xattr handler indexing.
      
        This update does simplify the ->listxattr() implementation of all
        these filesystems however"

      Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This adds a new pidfd_prepare() helper which allows the caller to
        reserve a pidfd number and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the
        provided struct pid.
      
        It should be avoided installing a file descriptor into a task's file
        descriptor table just to close it again via close_fd() in case an
        error occurs. The fd has been visible to userspace and might already
        be in use. Instead, a file descriptor should be reserved but not
        installed into the caller's file descriptor table.
      
        If another failure path is hit then the reserved file descriptor and
        file can just be put without any userspace visible side-effects. And
        if all failure paths are cleared the file descriptor and file can be
        installed into the task's file descriptor table.
      
        This helper is now used in all places that open coded this
        functionality before. For example, this is currently done during
        copy_process() and fanotify used pidfd_create(), which returns a pidfd
        that has already been made visibile in the caller's file descriptor
        table, but then closed it using close_fd().

      Pull user work thread updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This contains the work generalizing the ability to create a kernel
        worker from a userspace process.
      
        Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace
        process they were created from providing stronger security and
        accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach
        ever could've hoped for.
      
        The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of
        io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out
        the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a
        userspace process is generally useful.
      
        The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api.
        The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work
        correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs
        where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of
        the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created.
      
        Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the
        userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition,
        providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For
        example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user
        workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually
        ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used.
      
        So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism
        as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for
        create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers:
      
         - Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task
           is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a
           userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized
           version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags.
      
         - Make copy_process() available to core kernel code
      
         - Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields
           allowing to indicate to copy_process():
             - to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER)
             - to not inherit any files from the userspace process
             - to ignore signals
      
        After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements
        a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is
        switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.
      
        Thanks to Mike for sticking it out and making it through this rather
        arduous journey"

      Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
       "Commit volume in documentation is relatively low this time, but there
        is still a fair amount going on, including:
      
         - Reorganize the architecture-specific documentation under
           Documentation/arch
      
           This makes the structure match the source directory and helps to
           clean up the mess that is the top-level Documentation directory a
           bit. This work creates the new directory and moves x86 and most of
           the less-active architectures there.
      
           The current plan is to move the rest of the architectures in 6.5,
           with the patches going through the appropriate subsystem trees.

      Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:
      
       - Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
         the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.
      
         I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
         will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
         window.
      
       - Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
         cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.
      
         Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
         the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.
      
       - Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
         kernels, fixed by Zqiang.
      
       - Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.
      
       - Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
         increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
         drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.
      
         A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
         used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
         they're asking for by being explicit:

       - Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
         clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
         comments.
      
       - Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
         of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.
      
       - Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
         synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.
      
         Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.
      
       - Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
         from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
         module parameter, and more
