The merge resolution to deal with the conflict between commits
ea72ce5d ("x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory
address space") and 99185c10 ("resource, kunit: add test case for
region_intersects()") ended up being broken in configurations didn't
define a MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS and that had a 32-bit 'phys_addr_t'.

The fallback to using all bits set (ie "(-1ULL)") ended up causing a
build error:

    kernel/resource.c: In function ‘gfr_start’:
    include/linux/minmax.h:93:30: error: conversion from ‘long long unsigned int’ to ‘resource_size_t’ {aka ‘unsigned int’} changes value from ‘18446744073709551615’ to ‘4294967295’ [-Werror=overflow]

this was reported by Geert for m68k, but he points out that it happens
on other 32-bit architectures too, eg mips, xtensa, parisc, and powerpc.

Limiting 'PHYSMEM_END' to a 'phys_addr_t' (which is the same as
'resource_size_t') fixes the build, but Geert points out that it will
then cause a silent overflow in mm/sparse.c:

	unsigned long max_sparsemem_pfn = (PHYSMEM_END + 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;

so we actually do want PHYSMEM_END to be defined a 64-bit type - just
not all ones, and not larger than 'phys_addr_t'.

The proper fix is probably to not have some kind of default fallback at
all, but just make sure every architecture has a valid MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
But in the meantime, this just applies the rule that PHYSMEM_END is the
largest value that fits in a 'phys_addr_t', but does not have the high
bit set in 64 bits.

Ugly, ugly.

Many architectures support load acquire which can replace a memory
barrier and save some cycles.

A typical sequence

	do {
		seq = read_seqcount_begin(&s);
		<something>
	} while (read_seqcount_retry(&s, seq);

requires 13 cycles on an N1 Neoverse arm64 core (Ampere Altra, to be
specific) for an empty loop.  Two read memory barriers are needed.  One
for each of the seqcount_* functions.

We can replace the first read barrier with a load acquire of the
seqcount which saves us one barrier.

On the Altra doing so reduces the cycle count from 13 to 8.

According to ARM, this is a general improvement for the ARM64
architecture and not specific to a certain processor.

See

  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102336/0100/Load-Acquire-and-Store-Release-instructions

 "Weaker ordering requirements that are imposed by Load-Acquire and
  Store-Release instructions allow for micro-architectural
  optimizations, which could reduce some of the performance impacts that
  are otherwise imposed by an explicit memory barrier.

  If the ordering requirement is satisfied using either a Load-Acquire
  or Store-Release, then it would be preferable to use these
  instructions instead of a DMB"

[ NOTE! This is my original minimal patch that unconditionally switches
  over to using smp_load_acquire(), instead of the much more involved
  and subtle patch that Christoph Lameter wrote that made it
  conditional.

  But Christoph gets authorship credit because I had initially thought
  that we needed the more complex model, and Christoph ran with it it
  and did the work. Only after looking at code generation for all the
  relevant architectures, did I come to the conclusion that nobody
  actually really needs the old "smp_rmb()" model.

  Even architectures without load-acquire support generally do as well
  or better with smp_load_acquire().

  So credit to Christoph, but if this then causes issues on other
  architectures, put the blame solidly on me.

  Also note as part of the ruthless simplification, this gets rid of the
  overly subtle optimization where some code uses a non-barrier version
  of the sequence count (see the __read_seqcount_begin() users in
  fs/namei.c). They then play games with their own barriers and/or with
  nested sequence counts.

  Those optimizations are literally meaningless on x86, and questionable
  elsewhere. If somebody can show that they matter, we need to re-do
  them more cleanly than "use an internal helper".       - Linus ]

Merge user access fast validation using address masking.

This allows architectures to optionally use a data dependent address
masking model instead of a conditional branch for validating user
accesses.  That avoids the Spectre-v1 speculation barriers.

Right now only x86-64 takes advantage of this, and not all architectures
will be able to do it.  It requires a guard region between the user and
kernel address spaces (so that you can't overflow from one to the
other), and an easy way to generate a guaranteed-to-fault address for
invalid user pointers.

Also note that this currently assumes that there is no difference
between user read and write accesses.  If extended to architectures like
powerpc, we'll also need to separate out the user read-vs-write cases.

* address-masking:
  x86: make the masked_user_access_begin() macro use its argument only once
  x86: do the user address masking outside the user access area
  x86: support user address masking instead of non-speculative conditional

This doesn't actually matter for any of the current users, but before
merging it mainline, make sure we don't have any surprising semantics.

We don't actually want to use an inline function here, because we want
to allow - but not require - const pointer arguments, and return them as
such.  But we already had a local auto-type variable, so let's just use
it to avoid any possible double evaluation.

Merge tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - tracing/ring-buffer: persistent buffer across reboots

   This allows for the tracing instance ring buffer to stay persistent
   across reboots. The way this is done is by adding to the kernel
   command line:

     trace_instance=boot_map@0x285400000:12M

   This will reserve 12 megabytes at the address 0x285400000, and then
   map the tracing instance "boot_map" ring buffer to that memory. This
   will appear as a normal instance in the tracefs system:

     /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_map

   A user could enable tracing in that instance, and on reboot or kernel
   crash, if the memory is not wiped by the firmware, it will recreate
   the trace in that instance. For example, if one was debugging a
   shutdown of a kernel reboot:

     # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
     # echo function > instances/boot_map/current_tracer
     # reboot
     [..]
     # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
     # tail instances/boot_map/trace

   On reboot, the buffer is examined to make sure it is valid. The
   validation check even steps through every event to make sure the meta
   data of the event is correct. If any test fails, it will simply reset
   the buffer, and the buffer will be empty on boot.

 - Allow the tracing persistent boot buffer to use the "reserve_mem"
   option

   Instead of having the admin find a physical address to store the
   persistent buffer, which can be very tedious if they have to
   administrate several different machines, allow them to use the
   "reserve_mem" option that will find a location for them. It is not as
   reliable because of KASLR, as the loading of the kernel in different
   locations can cause the memory allocated to be inconsistent. Booting
   with "nokaslr" can make reserve_mem more reliable.

 - Have function graph tracer handle offsets from a previous boot.

   The ring buffer output from a previous boot may have different
   addresses due to kaslr. Have the function graph tracer handle these
   by using the delta from the previous boot to the new boot address
   space.

 - Only reset the saved meta offset when the buffer is started or reset

   In the persistent memory meta data, it holds the previous address
   space information, so that it can calculate the delta to have
   function tracing work. But this gets updated after being read to hold
   the new address space. But if the buffer isn't used for that boot, on
   reboot, the delta is now calculated from the previous boot and not
   the boot that holds the data in the ring buffer. This causes the
   functions not to be shown. Do not save the address space information
   of the current kernel until it is being recorded.

 - Add a magic variable to test the valid meta data

   Add a magic variable in the meta data that can also be used for
   validation. The validator of the previous buffer doesn't need this
   magic data, but it can be used if the meta data is changed by a new
   kernel, which may have the same format that passes the validator but
   is used differently. This magic number can also be used as a
   "versioning" of the meta data.

 - Align user space mapped ring buffer sub buffers to improve TLB
   entries

   Linus mentioned that the mapped ring buffer sub buffers were
   misaligned between the meta page and the sub-buffers, so that if the
   sub-buffers were bigger than PAGE_SIZE, it wouldn't allow the TLB to
   use bigger entries.

 - Add new kernel command line "traceoff" to disable tracing on boot for
   instances

   If tracing is enabled for a boot instance, there needs a way to be
   able to disable it on boot so that new events do not get entered into
   the ring buffer and be mixed with events from a previous boot, as
   that can be confusing.

 - Allow trace_printk() to go to other instances

   Currently, trace_printk() can only go to the top level instance. When
   debugging with a persistent buffer, it is really useful to be able to
   add trace_printk() to go to that buffer, so that you have access to
   them after a crash.

 - Do not use "bin_printk()" for traces to a boot instance

   The bin_printk() saves only a pointer to the printk format in the
   ring buffer, as the reader of the buffer can still have access to it.
   But this is not the case if the buffer is from a previous boot. If
   the trace_printk() is going to a "persistent" buffer, it will use the
   slower version that writes the printk format into the buffer.

 - Add command line option to allow trace_printk() to go to an instance

   Allow the kernel command line to define which instance the
   trace_printk() goes to, instead of forcing the admin to set it for
   every boot via the tracefs options.

 - Start a document that explains how to use tracefs to debug the kernel

 - Add some more kernel selftests to test user mapped ring buffer

Pull ktest updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add notification of build warnings for all tests

   Currently, the build will only fail on warnings if the ktest config
   file states that it should fail or if the compile is done with
   '-Werror'. This has allowed warnings to sneak in if it doesn't fail.

   Add a notification at the end of the test that will state that
   warnings were found in the build so that the developer will be aware
   of it.

 - Fix the grub2 parser to not return the wrong kernel index

   ktest.pl can read the grub.cfg file to know what kernel to boot to
   via grub-reboot. This requires knowing the index that the kernel is
   referenced by in the grub.cfg file. Some distros have logic to
   determine the menuentry that can cause the ktest.pl to come up with
   the wrong index and boot the wrong kernel.

Use perf_online_mask as an indicator instead.  Only initialize the

Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
 "This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
  sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
  programs.

  The goals of this are:

   - Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
     of new scheduling policies.

   - Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
     implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
     schedulers.

   - Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
     policies in production environments"

See individual commits for more documentation, but also the cover letter
for the latest series:

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Introduce '__attribute__((bpf_fastcall))' for helpers and kfuncs with
   corresponding support in LLVM.

   It is similar to existing 'no_caller_saved_registers' attribute in
   GCC/LLVM with a provision for backward compatibility. It allows
   compilers generate more efficient BPF code assuming the verifier or
   JITs will inline or partially inline a helper/kfunc with such
   attribute. bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx, bpf_rdonly_cast,
   bpf_get_smp_processor_id are the first set of such helpers.

 - Harden and extend ELF build ID parsing logic.

   When called from sleepable context the relevants parts of ELF file
   will be read to find and fetch .note.gnu.build-id information. Also
   harden the logic to avoid TOCTOU, overflow, out-of-bounds problems.

 - Improvements and fixes for sched-ext:
    - Allow passing BPF iterators as kfunc arguments
    - Make the pointer returned from iter_next method trusted
    - Fix x86 JIT convergence issue due to growing/shrinking conditional
      jumps in variable length encoding

 - BPF_LSM related:
    - Introduce few VFS kfuncs and consolidate them in
      fs/bpf_fs_kfuncs.c
    - Enforce correct range of return values from certain LSM hooks
    - Disallow attaching to other LSM hooks

 - Prerequisite work for upcoming Qdisc in BPF:
    - Allow kptrs in program provided structs
    - Support for gen_epilogue in verifier_ops

 - Important fixes:
    - Fix uprobe multi pid filter check
    - Fix bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers
    - Track equal scalars history on per-instruction level
    - Fix tailcall hierarchy on x86 and arm64
    - Fix signed division overflow to prevent INT_MIN/-1 trap on x86
    - Fix get kernel stack in BPF progs attached to tracepoint:syscall

 - Selftests:
    - Add uprobe bench/stress tool
    - Generate file dependencies to drastically improve re-build time
    - Match JIT-ed and BPF asm with __xlated/__jited keywords
    - Convert older tests to test_progs framework
    - Add support for RISC-V
    - Few fixes when BPF programs are compiled with GCC-BPF backend
      (support for GCC-BPF in BPF CI is ongoing in parallel)

Pull vfs blocksize updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the vfs infrastructure as well as the xfs bits to enable
  support for block sizes (bs) larger than page sizes (ps) plus a few
  fixes to related infrastructure.

  There has been efforts over the last 16 years to enable enable Large
  Block Sizes (LBS), that is block sizes in filesystems where bs > page
  size. Through these efforts we have learned that one of the main
  blockers to supporting bs > ps in filesystems has been a way to
  allocate pages that are at least the filesystem block size on the page
  cache where bs > ps.

  Thanks to various previous efforts it is possible to support bs > ps
  in XFS with only a few changes in XFS itself. Most changes are to the
  page cache to support minimum order folio support for the target block
  size on the filesystem.

  A motivation for Large Block Sizes today is to support high-capacity
  (large amount of Terabytes) QLC SSDs where the internal Indirection
  Unit (IU) are typically greater than 4k to help reduce DRAM and so in
  turn cost and space. In practice this then allows different
  architectures to use a base page size of 4k while still enabling
  support for block sizes aligned to the larger IUs by relying on high
  order folios on the page cache when needed.

  It also allows to take advantage of the drive's support for atomics
  larger than 4k with buffered IO support in Linux. As described this
  year at LSFMM, supporting large atomics greater than 4k enables
  databases to remove the need to rely on their own journaling, so they
  can disable double buffered writes, which is a feature different cloud
  providers are already enabling through custom storage solutions"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot
   de Oliveira's last major contribution to the kernel:

     "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low
      priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks
      monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE
      servers should be able to replace and improve that."

   (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes, Youssef
   Esmat, Huang Shijie)

 - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
     - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
     - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
     - Clean up DL server vs. core sched
     - Split up put_prev_task_balance()
     - Rework pick_next_task()
     - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
     - Rework dl_server
     - Add put_prev_task(.next)

   (Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)

 - Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
     - Implement delayed dequeue
     - Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
     - Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
     - Document the new feature flags
     - Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
     - Simplify & unify pick_next_task_fair()
     - Misc debuggability enhancements

   (Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann, Valentin
   Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)

 - Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
   resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks
   (Zhang Qiao)

 - Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
   (K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)

 - Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()

Pull i2c fixes from Wolfram Sang:
 "The Aspeed driver tracks the controller's state (stop, pending, start,
  etc.). Previously, when the stop command was sent, the state was not
  updated. The fix ensures the driver's state is aligned with the device
  status.

  The Intel SCH driver receives a new look, and among the cleanups,
  there is a fix where, due to an oversight, an if/else statement was
  missing the else, causing it to move forward instead of exiting the
  function in case of an error.

  The Qualcomm GENI I2C driver adds the IRQF_NO_AUTOEN flag to the IRQ
  setup to prevent unwanted interrupts during probe.

  The Xilinx XPS controller fixes TX FIFO handling to avoid missed NAKs.
  Another fix ensures the controller is reinitialized when the bus
  appears busy"

Pull parisc architecture updates from Helge Deller:

 - On parisc we now use the generic clockevent framework for timekeeping

 - Although there is no 64-bit glibc/userspace for parisc yet, for
   testing purposes one can run statically linked 64-bit binaries. This
   patchset contains two patches which fix 64-bit userspace which has
   been broken since kernel 4.19

 - Fix the userspace stack position and size when the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE
   personality is enabled

 - On other architectures mmap(MAP_GROWSDOWN | MAP_STACK) creates a
   downward-growing stack. On parisc mmap(MAP_STACK) is now sufficient
   to create an upward-growing stack

 - Remove some unnecesary hold/unhold rsb refcounting in cases where an

 - Make the slow freeing of structs in release_lockspace() async, run
   from a workqueue

 - Prior rcu freeing allows some further struct lookups to run without a
   lock

Pull xfs updates from Chandan Babu:
 "New code:

   - Introduce new ioctls to exchange contents of two files.

     The first ioctl does the preparation work to exchange the contents
     of two files while the second ioctl performs the actual exchange if
     the target file has not been changed since a given sampling point.

  Fixes:

   - Fix bugs associated with calculating the maximum range of realtime
     extents to scan for free space.

   - Copy keys instead of records when resizing the incore BMBT root
     block.

   - Do not report FITRIMming more bytes than possibly exist in the
     filesystem.

   - Modify xfs_fs.h to prevent C++ compilation errors.

   - Do not over eagerly free post-EOF speculative preallocation.

   - Ensure st_blocks never goes to zero during COW writes

  Cleanups/refactors:

   - Use Xarray to hold per-AG data instead of a Radix tree.

   - Cleanups to:
      - realtime bitmap
      - inode allocator
      - quota
      - inode rooted btree code"
