Patch series "Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers".
There are only a couple of places left using the page wrappers for idle &
young tracking. Convert the two users in proc and then we can remove the
wrappers. That enables the further simplification of autogenerating the
definitions when CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG is disabled.
This patch (of 4):
Replaces four calls to compound_head() with two.

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.

Patch series "Cover a guard gap corner case", v4.
In working on x86’s shadow stack feature, I came across some limitations
around the kernel’s handling of guard gaps. AFAICT these limitations
are not too important for the traditional stack usage of guard gaps, but
have bigger impact on shadow stack’s usage. And now in addition to x86,
we have two other architectures implementing shadow stack like features
that plan to use guard gaps. I wanted to see about addressing them, but I
have not worked on mmap() placement related code before, so would greatly
appreciate if people could take a look and point me in the right
direction.
The nature of the limitations of concern is as follows. In order to ensure
guard gaps between mappings, mmap() would need to consider two things:
1. That the new mapping isn’t placed in an any existing mapping’s guard
gap.
2. That the new mapping isn’t placed such that any existing mappings are
not in *its* guard gaps
Currently mmap never considers (2), and (1) is not considered in some
situations.
When not passing an address hint, or passing one without
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, (1) is enforced. With MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, (1) is
not enforced. With MAP_FIXED, (1) is not considered, but this seems to be
expected since MAP_FIXED can already clobber existing mappings. For
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE I would have guessed it should respect the guard gaps
of existing mappings, but it is probably a little ambiguous.
In this series I just tried to add enforcement of (2) for the normal (no
address hint) case and only for the newer shadow stack memory (not
stacks). The reason is that with the no-address-hint situation, landing
next to a guard gap could come up naturally and so be more influencable by
attackers such that two shadow stacks could be adjacent without a guard
gap. Where as the address-hint scenarios would require more control -
being able to call mmap() with specific arguments. As for why not just
fix the other corner cases anyway, I thought it might have some greater
possibility of affecting existing apps.
This patch (of 14):
Future changes will perform a treewide change to remove the indirect
branch that is involved in calling mm->get_unmapped_area(). After doing
this, the function will no longer be able to be handled as a function
pointer. To make the treewide change diff cleaner and easier to review,
refactor pde_get_unmapped_area() such that mm->get_unmapped_area() is
called without being stored in a local function pointer. With this in
refactoring, follow on changes will be able to simply replace the call
site with a future function that calls it directly.

Reduce the usage of PageFlag tests and reduce the number of
compound_head() calls.
For multi-page folios, we'll now show all pages as having the flags that
apply to them, e.g. if it's dirty, all pages will have the dirty flag set
instead of just the head page. The mapped flag is still per page, as is
the hwpoison flag.

Profiling the munmap() of a zswapped memory region shows 60% of the total
cycles currently going into updating the zswap_pool_total_size.
There are three consumers of this counter:
- store, to enforce the globally configured pool limit
- meminfo & debugfs, to report the size to the user
- shrink, to determine the batch size for each cycle
Instead of aggregating everytime an entry enters or exits the zswap
pool, aggregate the value from the zpools on-demand:
- Stores aggregate the counter anyway upon success. Aggregating to
check the limit instead is the same amount of work.
- Meminfo & debugfs might benefit somewhat from a pre-aggregated
counter, but aren't exactly hotpaths.
- Shrinking can aggregate once for every cycle instead of doing it for
every freed entry. As the shrinker might work on tens or hundreds of
objects per scan cycle, this is a large reduction in aggregations.
The paths that benefit dramatically are swapin, swapoff, and unmaps.
There could be millions of pages being processed until somebody asks for
the pool size again. This eliminates the pool size updates from those
paths entirely.
Top profile entries for a 24G range munmap(), before:
38.54% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] zs_zpool_total_size
12.51% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] zpool_get_total_size
9.10% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] zswap_update_total_size
2.95% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] obj_cgroup_uncharge_zswap
2.88% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __slab_free
2.86% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] xas_store
and after:
7.70% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __slab_free
7.16% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] obj_cgroup_uncharge_zswap
6.74% zswap-unmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] xas_store
It was also briefly considered to move to a single atomic in zswap
that is updated by the backends, since zswap only cares about the sum
of all pools anyway. However, zram directly needs per-pool information
out of zsmalloc. To keep the backend from having to update two atomics
every time, I opted for the lazy aggregation instead for now.

Remove the now unneeded check for ctl_table_size; it is safe
to do so as sysctl_set_perm_empty_ctl_header() does not access the

Move the SYSCTL_TABLE_TYPE_{DEFAULT,PERMANENTLY_EMPTY} enums from
ctl_table to ctl_table_header.
Removing the mutable member is necessary to constify static instances
of struct ctl_table.
Move the initialization of the sysctl_mount_point type into
init_header() where all the other header fields are also initialized.
As a side-effect the memory usage of the sysctl core is reduced.
Each ctl_table_header instance can manage multiple ctl_table instances
and is only allocated when the table is actually registered.
This saves 8 bytes of memory per ctl_table on 64bit, 4 due to the enum
field itself and 4 due to padding.

It is used only twice and those callers are simpler with
sysctl_is_perm_empty_ctl_header().
So use this sibling function.
This is part of an effort to constify definition of struct ctl_table.
For this effort the mutable member 'type' is moved from
struct ctl_table to struct ctl_table_header.
Unifying the macros sysctl_is_perm_empty_ctl_* makes this easier.

The -Woverride-init warn about code that may be intentional or not,
but the inintentional ones tend to be real bugs, so there is a bit of
disagreement on whether this warning option should be enabled by default
and we have multiple settings in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn as well as
individual subsystems.
Older versions of clang only supported -Wno-initializer-overrides with
the same meaning as gcc's -Woverride-init, though all supported versions
now work with both. Because of this difference, an earlier cleanup of
mine accidentally turned the clang warning off for W=1 builds and only
left it on for W=2, while it's still enabled for gcc with W=1.
There is also one driver that only turns the warning off for newer
versions of gcc but not other compilers, and some but not all the
Makefiles still use a cc-disable-warning conditional that is no
longer needed with supported compilers here.
Address all of the above by removing the special cases for clang
and always turning the warning off unconditionally where it got
in the way, using the syntax that is supported by both compilers.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
- Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
- Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
- Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
- Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
times.
- Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
- Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
insensitive operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to
remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
odd behaviors.
Cleanups:
- Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
- Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
- Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
filemap code.
- The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
fs/
- It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
extraction. Remove it.
- Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
case.
- Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
- Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
be made static as it's only used in that one file.
- Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
saves a bit of time for the same workload.
- Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
kmem_cache_create().
- Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
- Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
- Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes:
- Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
- Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
- Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
- Fix build errors in various selftests.
- Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
- Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
idmapped mounts.
- Fix sysv sb_read() call.
- Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was
removed as of v6.8-rc1 (see [1]), so it became a dead flag since the
commit 16a1d968358a ("mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h"). And
the series[1] went on to mark it obsolete explicitly to avoid confusion
for users. Here we can just remove all its users, which has no any
functional change.

Pull RCU pathwalk fixes from Al Viro:
"We still have some races in filesystem methods when exposed to RCU
pathwalk. This series is a result of code audit (the second round of
it) and it should deal with most of that stuff.
Still pending: ntfs3 ->d_hash()/->d_compare() and ceph_d_revalidate().
Up to maintainers (a note for NTFS folks - when documentation says
that a method may not block, it *does* imply that blocking allocations
are to be avoided. Really)"
[ More explanations for people who aren't familiar with the vagaries of
RCU path walking: most of it is hidden from filesystems, but if a
filesystem actively participates in the low-level path walking it
needs to make sure the fields involved in that walk are RCU-safe.
That "actively participate in low-level path walking" includes things
like having its own ->d_hash()/->d_compare() routines, or by having
its own directory permission function that doesn't just use the common
helpers. Having a ->d_revalidate() function will also have this issue.
Note that instead of making everything RCU safe you can also choose to
abort the RCU pathwalk if your operation cannot be done safely under
RCU, but that obviously comes with a performance penalty. One common
pattern is to allow the simple cases under RCU, and abort only if you
need to do something more complicated.
So not everything needs to be RCU-safe, and things like the inode etc
that the VFS itself maintains obviously already are. But these fixes
tend to be about properly RCU-delaying things like ->s_fs_info that
are maintained by the filesystem and that got potentially released too
early. - Linus ]

lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup. If NR_CPUS threads call
do_task_stat() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, it will
spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.
Change do_task_stat() to use sig->stats_lock to gather the statistics
outside of ->siglock protected section, in the likely case this code will
run lockless.

lock_task_sighand()
Patch series "fs/proc: do_task_stat: use sig->stats_".
do_task_stat() has the same problem as getrusage() had before "getrusage:
use sig->stats_lock rather than lock_task_sighand()": a hard lockup. If
NR_CPUS threads call lock_task_sighand() at the same time and the process
has NR_THREADS, spin_lock_irq will spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS *
NR_THREADS) time.
This patch (of 3):
thread_group_cputime() does its own locking, we can safely shift
thread_group_cputime_adjusted() which does another for_each_thread loop
outside of ->siglock protected section.
Not only this removes for_each_thread() from the critical section with
irqs disabled, this removes another case when stats_lock is taken with
siglock held. We want to remove this dependency, then we can change the
users of stats_lock to not disable irqs.

Move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock to prevent race condition
in other components which depend on it. The notifier will invalidate
memory range. Depending upon the number of iterations, different memory
ranges would be invalidated.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
has been doing all this work.
In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to
remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/
directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as
those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect
also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to
see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the
struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have
suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for
v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for
further sysctl changes. This also removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer

all"

Pull security module updates from Paul Moore:
- Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and
lsm_set_self_attr().
The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and
third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these
syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under
/proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple,
simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current
/proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM
was allowed to be active at a given time.
We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the
existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and
even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel
API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had
established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls.
Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly
unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he
is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more
difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM
community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to
continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as
pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g.
syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain.
My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing
out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to
support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step
forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our
reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic
for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api
folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of
their concerns.
- Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit
ioctls on 64-bit systems problem.
This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which
provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually
cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while
Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this
patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes.
- Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled
at boot.
While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something
users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and
then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via
NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense.
Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take
this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like
the best fit.
- Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about
our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc.
I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated
MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been
working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if
they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role;
hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to
look after it.

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

When registering tables to the sysctl subsystem there is a check to see
if header is a permanently empty directory (used for mounts). This check
evaluates the first element of the ctl_table. This results in an out of
bounds evaluation when registering empty directories.
The function register_sysctl_mount_point now passes a ctl_table of size
1 instead of size 0. It now relies solely on the type to identify
a permanently empty register.
Make sure that the ctl_table has at least one element before testing for
permanent emptiness.

/proc/pid/maps shows device and inode numbers of vma->vm_file-s. Here is
an issue. If a mapped file is on a stackable file system (e.g.,
overlayfs), vma->vm_file is a backing file whose f_inode is on the
underlying filesystem. To show correct numbers, we need to get a user
file and shows its numbers. The same trick is used to show file paths in
/proc/pid/maps.

In preparation for adding support for anonymous multi-size THP, introduce
new sysfs structure that will be used to control the new behaviours. A
new directory is added under transparent_hugepage for each supported THP
size, and contains an `enabled` file, which can be set to "inherit" (to
inherit the global setting), "always", "madvise" or "never". For now, the
kernel still only supports PMD-sized anonymous THP, so only 1 directory is
populated.
The first half of the change converts transhuge_vma_suitable() and
hugepage_vma_check() so that they take a bitfield of orders for which the
user wants to determine support, and the functions filter out all the
orders that can't be supported, given the current sysfs configuration and
the VMA dimensions. The resulting functions are renamed to
thp_vma_suitable_orders() and thp_vma_allowable_orders() respectively.
Convenience functions that take a single, unencoded order and return a
boolean are also defined as thp_vma_suitable_order() and
thp_vma_allowable_order().
The second half of the change implements the new sysfs interface. It has
been done so that each supported THP size has a `struct thpsize`, which
describes the relevant metadata and is itself a kobject. This is pretty
minimal for now, but should make it easy to add new per-thpsize files to
the interface if needed in future (e.g. per-size defrag). Rather than
keep the `enabled` state directly in the struct thpsize, I've elected to
directly encode it into huge_anon_orders_[always|madvise|inherit]
bitfields since this reduces the amount of work required in
thp_vma_allowable_orders() which is called for every page fault.
See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst, as modified by this
commit, for details of how the new sysfs interface works.

The PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl returns information regarding page table entries.
It is more efficient compared to reading pagemap files. CRIU can start to
utilize this ioctl, but it needs info about soft-dirty bits to track
memory changes.
We are aware of a new method for tracking memory changes implemented in
the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl. For CRIU, the primary advantage of this method is
its usability by unprivileged users. However, it is not feasible to
transparently replace the soft-dirty tracker with the new one. The main
problem here is userfault descriptors that have to be preserved between
pre-dump iterations. It means criu continues supporting the soft-dirty
method to avoid breakage for current users. The new method will be
implemented as a separate feature.

The new pagemap ioctl contains a fast path for wr-protections without
looking into category masks. It forgets to check PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING
before applying the wr-protections. It can cause, e.g., pte markers
installed on archs that do not even support uffd wr-protect.

Patch series "mm/pagemap: A few fixes to the recent PAGEMAP_SCAN".
This series should fix two known reports from syzbot on the new
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl():
https://lore.kernel.org/all/000000000000b0e576060a30ee3b@google.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/000000000000773fa7060a31e2cc@google.com/
The 3rd patch is something I found when testing these patches.
This patch (of 3):
The new ioctl(PAGEMAP_SCAN) relies on vma wr-protect capability provided
by userfault, however in the vma test it didn't explicitly require the vma
to have wr-protect function enabled, even if PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING flag is
set.
It means the pagemap code can now apply uffd-wp bit to a page in the vma
even if not registered to userfaultfd at all.
Then in whatever way as long as the pte got written and page fault
resolved, we'll apply the write bit even if uffd-wp bit is set. We'll see
a pte that has both UFFD_WP and WRITE bit set. Anything later that looks
up the pte for uffd-wp bit will trigger the warning:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5071 at arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:403 pte_uffd_wp arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:403 [inline]
Fix it by doing proper check over the vma attributes when
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING is specified.

Use the LSM ID number instead of the LSM name to identify which
security module's attibute data should be shown in /proc/self/attr.
The security_[gs]etprocattr() functions have been changed to expect

in these functions will provide a minor performance improvement.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
is worth re-iterating the value:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
unneeded check for procname == NULL.
The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
might as well roll through the fixes now"

- Documentation update for /proc/cmdline, which includes both the
parameters from bootloader and the embedded parameters in the kernel
- fs/proc: Add bootloader argument as a comment line to
/proc/bootconfig so that the user can distinguish what parameters
were passed from bootloader even if bootconfig modified that
- Documentation fix to add /proc/bootconfig to proc.rst

Rather than lock_task_sighand(), sig->stats_lock was specifically designed
for this type of use.
This way the "if (whole)" branch runs lockless in the likely case.
