[ Upstream commit 707f853d7fa3ce323a6875487890c213e34d81a0 ]
Helper macro to more easily limit the export of a symbol to a given
list of modules.
Eg:
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES(preempt_notifier_inc, "kvm");
will limit the use of said function to kvm.ko, any other module trying
to use this symbol will refure to load (and get modpost build
failures).

[ Upstream commit ceb8bf2ceaa77fe222fe8fe32cb7789c9099ddf1 ]
Commit cdd30ebb1b9f ("module: Convert symbol namespace to string
literal") only converted MODULE_IMPORT_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(),
leaving DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE as a macro expansion.
This commit converts DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE in the same way to avoid
annoyance for the default namespace as well.

Pull generic unaligned.h cleanups from Al Viro:
"Get rid of architecture-specific <asm/unaligned.h> includes, replacing
them with a single generic <linux/unaligned.h> header file.

move the thing to from asm-generic/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h"
[ This is one of those things that we're better off doing outside the

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:
- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
- "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
- "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
functional changes - code cleanups only.
- "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
little cleanup.
- "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and

kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

Patch series "Increase the number of bits available in page_type".
Kent wants more than 16 bits in page_type, so I resurrected this old patch
and expanded it a bit. It's a bit more efficient than our current scheme
(1 4-byte insn vs 3 insns of 13 bytes total) to test a single page type.
This patch (of 4):
An upcoming patch will convert page type from being a bitfield to a
single byte, so we will not be able to use %pG to print the page type
any more. The printing of the symbolic name will be restored in that
patch.

Commit 79365026f869 ("crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support")
generalizes the crash hotplug support to allow architectures to update
multiple kexec segments on CPU/Memory hotplug and not just elfcorehdr.
Therefore, update the relevant kernel documentation to reflect the same.
No functional change.

When proposing that PCI grow some new cleanup helpers for pci_dev_put()
and pci_dev_{lock,unlock} [1], Bjorn had some fundamental questions
about expectations and best practices. Upon reviewing an updated

in the header file itself.
Add that documentation and link it into the rendering for

Since v6.8 the definition of GFP_NOWAIT has implied __GFP_NOWARN,
so it is now redundant to add this flag explicitly.
Update the docs to match, and emphasise the need for a fallback
when using GFP_NOWAIT.

Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Core:
- Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains. The existing
interfaces have already too many parameters and it's a pain to
expand any of this for new required functionality.
The new function takes a pointer to a data structure as argument.
The data structure combines all existing parameters and allows for
easy extension.
The first extension for this is to handle the instantiation of
generic interrupt chips at the core level and to allow drivers to
provide extra init/exit callbacks.
This is necessary to do the full interrupt chip initialization
before the new domain is published, so that concurrent usage sites
won't see a half initialized interrupt domain. Similar problems
exist on teardown.
This has turned out to be a real problem due to the deferred and
parallel probing which was added in recent years.
Handling this at the core level allows to remove quite some accrued
boilerplate code in existing drivers and avoids horrible
workarounds at the driver level.
- The usual small improvements all over the place
Drivers:
- Add support for LAN966x OIC and RZ/Five SoC
- Split the STM ExtI driver into a microcontroller and a SMP version
to allow building the latter as a module for multi-platform
kernels
- Enable MSI support for Armada 370XP on platforms which do not
support IPIs
- The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.
- Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
bad.
- More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
folio_alloc_mpol()"
- Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
"Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
of cgroup writeback"
- Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
index".
- In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.
- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
"Restructure va_high_addr_switch".
- The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
simplify code".
- Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".
- Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.
- In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.
- Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
zswap: trivial folio conversions".
- In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.
- In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.
- In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
improvements in pagefault latency are realized.
- David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
fs/proc/internal.h".
- David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
"mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
- Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
"cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".
- Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
and utilize them".
- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.
It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
all CPUs are pegged.
- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
"mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".
- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
thing.
- Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.
- DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
function".
- In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
modernizing its use of pageframe fields.
- Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".
- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
"mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
!ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.
- Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
folio userspace copying.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.
- A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
that.
- David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
folio isolation + checks under PTL".
- Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
readahead quirks".
- SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
self testing code.
- Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.
- Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.
- Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"
- Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.
- The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
monitor and handle this situation.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.
- SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
does those things.
- In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
utilization.
- Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.
- Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
/proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps".
- In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
related to multisize THP splitting.
- Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
userspace to use all available huge page sizes.
- In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Slab allocators have been guaranteeing natural alignment for
power-of-two sizes since commit 59bb47985c1d ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee
natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), while any other sizes are
guaranteed to be aligned only to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN bytes (although
in practice are aligned more than that in non-debug scenarios).
Rust's allocator API specifies size and alignment per allocation, which
have to satisfy the following rules, per Alice Ryhl [1]:
1. The alignment is a power of two.
2. The size is non-zero.
3. When you round up the size to the next multiple of the alignment,
then it must not overflow the signed type isize / ssize_t.
In order to map this to kmalloc()'s guarantees, some requested
allocation sizes have to be padded to the next power-of-two size [2].
For example, an allocation of size 96 and alignment of 32 will be padded
to an allocation of size 128, because the existing kmalloc-96 bucket
doesn't guarantee alignent above ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. Without slab
debugging active, the layout of the kmalloc-96 slabs however naturally
align the objects to 32 bytes, so extending the size to 128 bytes is
wasteful.
To improve the situation we can extend the kmalloc() alignment
guarantees in a way that
1) doesn't change the current slab layout (and thus does not increase
internal fragmentation) when slab debugging is not active
2) reduces waste in the Rust allocator use case
3) is a superset of the current guarantee for power-of-two sizes.
The extended guarantee is that alignment is at least the largest
power-of-two divisor of the requested size. For power-of-two sizes the
largest divisor is the size itself, but let's keep this case documented
separately for clarity.
For current kmalloc size buckets, it means kmalloc-96 will guarantee
alignment of 32 bytes and kmalloc-196 will guarantee 64 bytes.
This covers the rules 1 and 2 above of Rust's API as long as the size is
a multiple of the alignment. The Rust layer should now only need to
round up the size to the next multiple if it isn't, while enforcing the
rule 3.
Implementation-wise, this changes the alignment calculation in
create_boot_cache(). While at it also do the calulation only for caches
with the SLAB_KMALLOC flag, because the function is also used to create
the initial kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node caches, where no alignment
guarantee is necessary.
In the Rust allocator's krealloc_aligned(), remove the code that padded
sizes to the next power of two (suggested by Alice Ryhl) as it's no
longer necessary with the new guarantees.

Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run
floating-point SIMD code in kernel space. However, the function names,
header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and
FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options.
provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space
FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must
implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and
provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

There are bunch of codes in driver like
if (dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)))
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
Actually it is wrong because if dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) fails,
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) will fail for the same reason.
And dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) never returns failure.
According to the definition of dma_set_mask(), it indicates the width of
address that device DMA can access. If it can access 64-bit address, it
must access 32-bit address inherently. So only need set biggest address
width.
See below code fragment:
dma_set_mask(mask)
{
mask = (dma_addr_t)mask;
if (!dev->dma_mask || !dma_supported(dev, mask))
return -EIO;
arch_dma_set_mask(dev, mask);
*dev->dma_mask = mask;
return 0;
}
dma_supported() will call dma_direct_supported or iommux's dma_supported
call back function.
int dma_direct_supported(struct device *dev, u64 mask)
{
u64 min_mask = (max_pfn - 1) << PAGE_SHIFT;
/*
* Because 32-bit DMA masks are so common we expect every architecture
* to be able to satisfy them - either by not supporting more physical
* memory, or by providing a ZONE_DMA32. If neither is the case, the
* architecture needs to use an IOMMU instead of the direct mapping.
*/
if (mask >= DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
return 1;
...
}
The iommux's dma_supported() actually means iommu requires devices's
minimized dma capability.
An example:
static int sba_dma_supported( struct device *dev, u64 mask)()
{
...
* check if mask is >= than the current max IO Virt Address
* The max IO Virt address will *always* < 30 bits.
*/
return((int)(mask >= (ioc->ibase - 1 +
(ioc->pdir_size / sizeof(u64) * IOVP_SIZE) )));
...
}
1 means supported. 0 means unsupported.
Correct document to make it more clear and provide correct sample code.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are
significant and invasive.
- During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are
more topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved
workqueue behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, commit
636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu
pool_workqueues") switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU
frontend pool_workqueues as a part of increasing front-back mapping
flexibility.
An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max
concurrency enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of
allowed concurrent executions. I incorrectly assumed that this
wouldn't cause practical problems as most unbound workqueue users
are self-regulate max concurrency; however, there definitely are
which don't (e.g. on IO paths) and the drastic increase in the
allowed max concurrency led to noticeable perf regressions in some
use cases.
This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement
to a separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active
consistently mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the
number of CPUs or (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive
and, in places, a bit clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from
the the inherent requirement to handle the disagreement between the
execution locality domain and max concurrency enforcement domain on
some modern machines.
See commit 5797b1c18919 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide
nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues") for more details.
- BH workqueue support is added.
They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but execute work items in
the softirq context. This is expected to replace tasklet. However,
currently, it's missing the ability to disable and enable work
items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the
next merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the
couple conversion patches that are currently pending.
- Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation
where ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates.
Ordered workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound
workqueues.
- More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in
workqueue isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect
wq_unbound_cpumask. Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on
isolated CPUs.
- Other misc changes"

5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered")
automoatically promoted UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 to ordered
workqueues because UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 used to be the way
to create ordered workqueues and the new NUMA support broke it. These
problems can be subtle and the fact that they can only trigger on NUMA
machines made them even more difficult to debug.
However, overloading the UNBOUND allocation interface this way creates other
issues. It's difficult to tell whether a given workqueue actually needs to
be ordered and users that legitimately want a min concurrency level wq
unexpectedly gets an ordered one instead. With planned UNBOUND workqueue
udpates to improve execution locality and more prevalence of chiplet designs
which can benefit from such improvements, this isn't a state we wanna be in
forever.
There aren't that many UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 users in the tree and the
preceding patches audited all and converted them to
alloc_ordered_workqueue() as appropriate. This patch removes the implicit
promotion of UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 workqueues to ordered ones.
v2: v1 patch incorrectly dropped !list_empty(&wq->pwqs) condition in
apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() which spuriously triggers WARNING and
fails workqueue creation. Fix it.

The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as
the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is
complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios
and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms.
This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and
features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq
context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of
the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be
thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq.
Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active
adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular
workqueues and work items.
Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to
convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is
complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over
the tasklet softirqs.
system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in
tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH
workqueues without creating their own workqueues.
v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include.
v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action
functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer
to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai.
- Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task
handling or can use clarification. Updated.
