Linus Torvalds fd179f8a05 Merge tag 'ata-7.3-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/libata/linux
Pull ata fixes from Niklas Cassel:

 - Extend the quirk "no LPM on ATI" quirk, that is currently only
   applied for Samsung drives, to include AMD controllers as well.

   The AMD AHCI controllers are newer versions of the ATI AHCI
   controllers, and these controllers still have LPM issues with
   Samsung drives - LPM works with drives from other vendors (me)

 - Fix errors in the libata.force parameter documentation (me)

 - Verify the sense data descriptor lengths for ATA PASS-THROUGH
   command, so that a malicious device cannot write past the buffer
   length (Matthias)

 - Mention the libata for-next branch in MAINTAINERS such that the
   git ls-remote command done by get_maintainer.pl --self-test=scm
   can verify it (Matthias)

   logic so that the ordering matches the hardware spec

 - Fix spurious warning when attempting to read PROT_NONE mappings of
  /dev/mem

 - Allow WFxT to be disabled on the command line, which is necessary for
   some configurations of recent Apple SoCs

 - Fix EL2 fine-grained trap configuration for the CPU PMU

Niklas Cassel 88a0474d92 ata: libata: Correct libata.force parameter documentation
Align the documented libata.force options with their implementation.
The force table accepts PIO modes 0 through 6, not mode 7, and ncqati
controls NCQ generally rather than only queued TRIM.

The max_sec_1024 and max_sec_lba48 options only set transfer size
limits. Remove the misleading claim that they can also clear them.

Yureka Lilian baaa9b126b arm64: Add override for WFxT
Add an override for WFxT support within ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1 to allow
it to be disabled using the new arm64.nowfxt command line parameter.

This accompanies the idle=nop param introduced in a previous patch
series [1] in dealing with misbehaving WFI and WFIT instructions on
Apple Silicon SoCs, and eases debugging of other quirky WFxT
implementations.

Karl Mehltretter 353a95f1cd syscall_user_dispatch: Use CONFIG_SYSCTL for sysctl guard
Commit 8d75c338f0 ("sysctl: remove CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, it just mirrors
CONFIG_SYSCTL") removed CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, but the sysctl added by
commit 5b6e32ba7b ("syscall_user_dispatch: Add
kernel.syscall_user_dispatch sysctl") is still guarded by it. Now that
both commits are merged, kernel.syscall_user_dispatch is no longer
registered.

syscall_user_dispatch_allowed defaults to true. SUD therefore remains
available, but administrators cannot disable new activations.

Use CONFIG_SYSCTL for the guard and documentation.

Shakeel Butt a3417097fb memcg: make the v1 soft limit knob inert
The v1 soft limit has been deprecated since v6.12 and nobody has reported
depending on it.  Start the removal by decoupling the interface from the
implementation: keep memory.soft_limit_in_bytes, but ignore writes to it
and always report the maximum value on read similar to what
memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes already does.

Writes are still parsed, so malformed input keeps returning -EINVAL.  The
knob now also behaves the same everywhere: it used to return -EOPNOTSUPP
on PREEMPT_RT, where soft limit reclaim has always been disabled.

This also fixes the syzbot report linked below.  Soft limit reclaim is the
only caller that runs shrink_lruvec() from kswapd against a specific
memcg, so it is the only way to reach lru_gen_shrink_lruvec() and in turn
set_mm_walk(), which warns when called from kswapd.

Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
   (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
   to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
   file-backed memory.

   Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
   conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
   improvements.

 - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
   (Baolin Wang)

   Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
   reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
   executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
   code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
   performance.

 - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
   Chen)

   Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
   parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
   sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
   proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.

 - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
   scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)

   Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
   scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
   producer updates.

   Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
   dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
   60% without impacting scan throughput.

 - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.

 - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
   memcg" (Zi Yan)

   Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
   splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
   node memory accounting.

 - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick)

   Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a
   generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test
   files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests.

 - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in
   mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function.

 - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin
   Huang)

   Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
   cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing
   algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to
   reinitialization.

 - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia)

   Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by
   moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in
   writeback_store() and read_block_state().

 - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang)

   Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders
   and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged.

 - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions"
   (Muhammad Usama Anjum)

   Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when
   required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding
   retry logic for transient page migration errors.

 - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia)

   Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled
   and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved
   writeback efficiency.

 - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation
   profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter
   aggregation.

   This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
   provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation
   data to userspace.

 - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"
   (Christoph Hellwig)

   Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of
   single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving
   faster swap throughput during kernel builds.

 - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
   (Catalin Marinas)

   Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak
   enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable
   minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter.

 - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels"
   (Breno Leitao)

   Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports
   on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when
   CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second
   confirming scan.

 - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig)

   Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance
   regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection
   overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio
   writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly
   export their own swap_ops.

 - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache)

   khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated
   comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for
   PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal
   documentation.

 - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett)

   Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for
   locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures
   without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.

   Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation
   edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to
   GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Add support for 'slot' based PMU events, paired with new UAPI that
     compels the user to select a specific PMU implementation

   - Lazy save/restore of vCPU state for pKVM, along with various fixes
     and cleanups to the management of vCPU state between the untrusted
     host and pKVM hypervisor

   - Disable traps of EL1 registers for nested hypervisors when
     FEAT_NV2p1 is present, guaranteeing that EL2-specific register bits
     are stateful in the EL1 counterpart

   - Leverage FEAT_NV3 to avoid unnecessary ERET/TLBI traps when the
     scope of those instructions remains 'in host' (i.e. L1
     kernel/userspace)

   - Pile of fixes for the management of the VNCR pseudo-TLB, such as
     under-invalidations and races with concurrent TLBIs on other vCPUs

   - Consolidate the non-protected and pKVM view of ICH_VTR_EL2 to a
     runtime-patched constant, allowing the same data to be shared with
     pKVM prior to dropping host privileges

   - Considerable pile of LLM-assisted fixes around the shop but mostly
     in the VGIC, our in-kernel generator of bugs (and sometimes
     interrupts)

  LoongArch:

   - Advertise already-supported capabilities

   - Some bug fixes about timer and MMIO

   - Some hardening about interrupt injection

   - Replace kvm_err() with kvm_pr_unimpl()

   - Add FPU/LSX/LASX test cases for selftests

  RISC-V:

   - Svadu/Zicfiss/Zicfilp FWFT support for Guest

   - Use try_cmpxchg for IMSIC MRIF RMW

   - More arch-specific tracepoints in KVM RISC-V

   - Eager page splitting when enabling dirty logging

   - Optimize hfence request handling for SMP Guests

   - Improve dirty log clearing by skipping zero bits in mask

   - Guard HFENCE range loops against overflow

   - CPU PM notifiers in KVM RISC-V for non-retentive idle states

   - Fix kernel-mode vector context save/restore for Guest

  s390:

   - Fixes for vfio-ap

   - Fixes for the gmap rework

   - Fixes for vsie

   - AI triggered fixes all over

   - diag9c tracing

   - code move preparation for the additional arm64 support

   - enable CONTEXT_ANALYSIS

  x86:

   - Perform spring cleaning on x86.{c,h} and asm/kvm_host.h, by adding
     regs.c (the kvm_cache_regs.h => regs.h is already applied) and
     msrs.{c,h}, and moving relevant code out of x86.c

   - Split kvm_mmu in three parts, respectively to describe the format
     of page tables, walking the guest page tables and building the page
     tables. Always use the same page table walker kvm->arch.gva_walk as
     the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the
     previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on
     whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not. Make page fault
     vmexits reuse the permission checking machinery that is used for
     guest page faults. This is both a cleanup and a baby step towards
     supporting XS/XU memory permissions

   - Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating
     IRQCHIPs on x86

   - Remove a defunct masterclock update from kvm_xen_shared_info_init().
     It could result in incorrect kvmclock due to triggering an
     unnecessary switch to/from masterclock mode

   - Skip Xen runstate time updates if time has effectively gone
     backwards, so that the guest doesn't report 100% steal time for
     a very, very long time

   - Drop KVM's runtime updates of the Xen PV timing CPUID leaf, as KVM
     was updating the wrong sub-leaf, and upstream KVM will soon provide
     all the information needed by userspace to populate the CPUID field
     itself

   - Fix a bug where KVM would walk a newly created rmap without holding
     the rmap lock (or mmu_lock) during aging

   - Fix a bug where aging TDP MMU SPTEs could clobber FROZEN SPTEs

   - Fix a variety of #DB priority bugs

   - Fix a class of races related to enabling Hyper-V emulation on a
     vCPU after the vCPU is visible to the rest of KVM

   - Use static calls for nested virtualization ops

   - Move more KVM-internal code out of x86's kvm_host.h

   - Enumerate support for a variety of Zhaoxin instructions that don't
     require explicit virtualization

   - Fix missing EFER validation bugs, including in the KVM_SET_SREGS*
     path

   - Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking
     references

   - Misc fixes and cleanups, e.g. for largely benign syzkaller splats

  x86 (Intel):

   - Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used
     for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed, to fix a
     use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID

   - Service local TLB flushes on a failed nested VM-Enter to fix a bug
     where KVM could miss a TLB on a future, successful VM-Enter with
     the same L2 VPID

   - Cap the maximum value shoved into the VMX Preemption Timer to
     workaround an erratum that affects all existing Intel CPUs that
     support CPUID 0x15

   - Fix VPID virtualization bugs where KVM would fail to flush hardware
     TLBs

   - Harden the TDX "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare
     for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion

  x86 (AMD):

   - Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA pages if their backing guest_memfd
     page is zapped/invalidated, e.g. due to a PUNCH_HOLE in response to
     a Page-State Change request

   - Remove a dying VM from the GA Log notifier list before the VM is
     actually destroyed, to fix a potential use-after-free

   - While FOLL_WRITE was needed in the past to trigger CoW unsharing,
     nowadays FOLL_LONGTERM does that already even without FOLL_WRITE,
     and in fact, get_user_pages() actually disallows FOLL_WRITE
     together with FOLL_LONGTERM. So don't pass FOLL_WRITE when
     registering encrypted memory regions, i.e. when pinning SEV/SEV-ES
     guest memory, to fix a regression with file-backed memory
     introduced by KVM's (correct) usage of long-term pins

     (This was reviewed by mm maintainers; for more information, see
     commit ee1a586dd1 "KVM: SEV: Drop FOLL_WRITE for encrypted region
     registration")

   - Allocate full pages for SEV/SEV-ES {DE,EN}CRYPT ops on SNP-enabled
     hosts to fix a data corruption issue due to the PSP driver
     assigning to-be-written pages to firmware (as required by the SNP
     specs)

   - Unconditionally intercept ICBEP so that KVM generates the correct
     guest RIP when handling an ICEBP-induced TASK_SWITCH #VMEXIT

   - Harden the SNP "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare
     for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion

  Generic:

   - Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's
     debugfs

   - Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but
     for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject
     duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code
     to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU
     clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs)

   - Rework the so called "prepare" and "invalidate" guest_memfd hooks
     to prepare for in-place private<=>shared conversion, and clean up a
     few warts along the way

  Selftests:

   - Automatically allocate a full page for L2 guest stacks on x86
     instead of requiring test-specific L1 guest code to carve out a
     portion of the L1 stack for L2 usage, and to ensure the L2 stack
     also adheres to the x86-64 calling convention ABI

   - Add a selftest to verify {Guest,Host}-Only behavior in x86's
     mediated PMU

   - Clean up nested SVM's handling of GPRs on L2<=>L1 transitions,
     reuse the functionality for nested VMX, and drop the ucall hack
     that was fudging around the lack of GPR switching on nVMX

   - Add a stress test to verify KVM doesn't clobber/drop #PF state,
     e.g. CR2, across save/restore, including when L2 is active

   - Add a test to verify KVM_CREATE_VM accepts exactly what is reported
     by KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES

   - Misc selftests fixes and cleanups

   - Fix several issues with seeding the pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs
     to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest
     code

   - Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up
     via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for
     triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device

   - Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and
     CPU affinity APIs

   - Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention
     issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes
     of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds

   - Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM
     with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM
     for each sub-testcase. This cuts the runtime by ~20x

  Miscellaneous:

   - MAINTAINERS updates for vfio-ap, guest_memfd, kvm-x86. Mostly
     representing the status quo more accurately, but also... welcome
     David Hildenbrand as guest_memfd reviewer!"

Sourav Panda 34e0849142 mm/hugetlb_cma: support percentage-based hugetlb_cma reservation
Currently, hugetlb_cma reservation only supports absolute sizes (e.g.,
hugetlb_cma=2G or hugetlb_cma=0:1G,1:1G).  This can be restrictive in
heterogeneous environments or when deploying common kernel command lines
across machines with different memory capacities.

Add support for percentage-based hugetlb_cma reservation (e.g.,
hugetlb_cma=20% or hugetlb_cma=0:20%,1:10%).

The percentage is calculated against the total memory (for global
settings) or against the node-specific memory (for node-specific settings)
using memblock APIs during early boot.

Pratyush Mallick 7a39f03bc9 mm/page_reporting: add page_reporting_delay_ms module parameter
Free page reporting currently hardcodes a 2-second interval between
reports.  This rigid delay cannot accommodate diverse guest workloads.

This patch introduces a module parameter, page_reporting_delay_ms
(default: 2000), allowing users to tune the reporting rate:
 - Lower values enable aggressive memory reclamation by returning unused
   pages to the host immediately.
 - Higher values help batch pages during spiky allocation/free churn,
   reducing hypercalls and nested page fault overheads.

Setting the delay to 0 is safe and execution is strictly gated by:
 - reporting is only triggered by high-order page frees.
 - expensive hypercalls are bounded by a slot capacity watermark check
   before proceeding.

Guilherme G. Piccoli 94509f50d6 docs: panic: Disclaimer about console verbosity when using panic_print with pstore
Users of panic_print / panic_sys_info are usually aware of the potentially
huge amount of information displayed with such options - their goal by
using them is indeed to dump more information during panic!

What might come unnoticed at first is the impact that the console_verbose()
call on panic path has, specially in cases that users rely on pstore as
a means to collect the panic logs. Recent experience shows that dumping
all tasks in an ARM64 system (with qcom_geni tty driver) gets a 2 minute
delay on panic time due to writing such information to console. But in
that case, pstore was used, so there was no need for console printing,
and suppressing that reduced the full time to less than 0.5 second.

The option "printk.console_no_auto_verbose" aims exactly at this use
case: avoid automatically increasing the loglevel during panic path.
So, let's officially document this to avoid users wasting their time
either on long panic printing or debugging the panic delays.

While at it, improve the readability of the panic_print text, by
adding some line breaks.

   fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
   cleanup code

 - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)

   Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
   performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
   pages on the way.

 - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)

   Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
   when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
   behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
   existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
   probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
   maintain measurement accuracy.

 - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)

   Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
   thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
   contention.

   By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
   reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
   under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
   memory pressure.

 - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)

   Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
   into new headers

 - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)

   Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
   collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
   KSM memory error handling.

   It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
   anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
   reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.

 - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
   Patil)

   Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
   report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
   satisfied

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)

   Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
   users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
   cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.

   By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
   disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
   weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
   attribute-focused workloads.

 - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
   (Stanislav Kinsburskii)

   Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
   allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
   hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.

   By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
   release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
   regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.

 - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
   manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel

   It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
   vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
   renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
   functionality.

   These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
   will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
   folios.

 - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)

   Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
   callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
   created during HMM migrations

   It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
   properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
   THP or a standard migration entry.

 - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)

   Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
   anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
   functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
   large folio unmapping.

 - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)

   Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
   document

 - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)

   Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
   infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
   entire memory regions

   By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
   enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
   compatibility.

 - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
   to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.

   It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
   unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
   mlock, mprotect, and mremap.

 - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)

   Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
   slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
   documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
   remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.

 - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)

   Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
   fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
   from outer layers.

   It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
   damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
   interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
   members.

 - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
   (SJ Park)

   Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
   conditions identified in DAMON

   It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
   NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
   accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.

 - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
   on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
   via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.

   It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
   risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
   hotplug or large allocation frees.

 - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
   debug assertions.

   It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
   convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
   high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
   VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.

 - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
   boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.

   It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
   dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
   eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
   to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
   functional changes intended.

 - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
   reclaim" (Ridong Chen)

   Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
   memory reclaim paths

   It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
   unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
   cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
   of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
   gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().

 - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)

   Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
   removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
   pages as non-resident.

 - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API

 - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
   bugs" (SJ Park)

   Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
   Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
   occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
   in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.

 - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)

   Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
   without altering functionality.

   It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
   bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
   helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.

 - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)

   Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
   userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
   capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().

   This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
   try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
   flow and complexity.

 - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
   (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
   __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
   early_ioremap_reset()

   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
   calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.

 - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)

   Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
   OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
   production

   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
   than spinning unproductively.

 - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)

   Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
   per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances

   This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
   instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
   lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
   when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

Linus Torvalds d141ec2825 Merge tag 'nfsd-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux
Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:

 - CB_NOTIFY support for NFSD's NFSv4.1 directory delegations

   The server used to recall a delegation as soon as the directory
   changed. NFSD now watches delegated directories through fsnotify and
   reports adds, removes, renames, and directory attribute changes,
   carrying the filehandle and attributes of the affected entry, so
   clients can keep their caches. Some of the NOTIFY4 flags come from
   RFC 8881bis (Jeff Layton)

 - Continued netlink work

   A new server-stats-get operation reports what /proc/net/rpc/nfsd
   publishes, plus NFSv4 callback counts, and SUNRPC now keeps its
   per-procedure call counts per network namespace, so a container sees
   its own numbers. nfsstat reads all of this over netlink, with a
   procfs fallback for older kernels (Jeff Layton)

 - Remove SUNRPC service thread pool mode selection

   Per node is the right choice on any host we run today, so the auto,
   global, and percpu modes have been removed. A single-node host still
   gets one pool. A multi-NUMA host now gets a pool per node.

   sunrpc.pool_mode accepts the old names but no longer selects
   anything.

 - Bug fixes, clean-ups, and small optimizations:
    - async COPY offload rework (Jeff Layton)
    - more use-after-free fixes in the NFSv4 state revocation paths
    - percpu counter contention removed from the reply cache and IO
      accounting
    - a long list of hardening fixes (Chris Mason)

Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug
reporters who participated in the v7.3 NFSD development cycle.

Liang Luo 72c5ae18eb Docs/admin-guide/cgroup-v2: document BPF scheduler callbacks for cpu.max and cpu.idle
The cpu.weight and cpu.weight.nice entries already state that the files
also affect a BPF scheduler through the cgroup_set_weight callback.
However, cpu.max, cpu.max.burst and cpu.idle only mention the fair-class
scheduler, even though sched_ext implements the cgroup_set_bandwidth
(notified with the period/quota from cpu.max and the burst from
cpu.max.burst) and cgroup_set_idle callbacks from these interfaces.

Mirror the cpu.weight wording for the three entries and generalize the
category preamble to refer to the corresponding cgroup_set_* callback so
it keeps covering the entries below.

Linus Torvalds 40d8c81577 Merge tag 'cgroup-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Attach path bug fixes: migrations spanning multiple source or
   destination cpusets were mishandled, most visibly leaving thread
   affinities stale when the controller is disabled in a threaded
   subtree. Configuration writes could also race an in-flight attach and
   apply stale state, and the deadline task count could get corrupted by
   concurrent updates, skewing SCHED_DEADLINE admission decisions.

 - Memory binding bug fixes: which node masks get applied differed
   between the binding update paths, and tasks cloned with
   CLONE_INTO_CGROUP skipped rebinding entirely. Rebinding also now runs
   once per process instead of repeating for every thread sharing the
   mm.

 - Overhead removals with no behavior change: CPU hotplug iterated tasks
   of cpusets that just inherit the parent's effective masks, and the
   slab-spreading task flag was still being maintained although the SLAB
   allocator that consumed it is long gone.

 - Data-race annotations for benign races so that KCSAN reports stay
   meaningful, selftest coverage for the fixes above along with
   flakiness and portability fixes, and documentation corrections.

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Make syscall user dispatching configurable

   Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
   Allow them to disable the feature completely.

 - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
   architectures using it.

   Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
   architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
   wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
   non-instrumentable constraints of that code.

   Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
   entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
   point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
   code using architecture over.

 - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
   works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
   storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
   space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
   code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
   return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
   intuitive.

   Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
   dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
   syscall number through these mechanisms.

   This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
   a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
   a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
   both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
   which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
   addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
   architectures.

Linus Torvalds 1d7443e4dc Merge tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linux
Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
 "The main change this cycle is a significant simplification that's been
  overdue for a while now: standardizing on a single file contents
  encryption implementation in ext4 and f2fs, instead of having two.

  Specifically, the original filesystem-layer file contents encryption
  implementation is removed, and the blk-crypto implementation is now
  used unconditionally. blk-crypto delegates either to inline crypto
  hardware or to the CPU via blk-crypto-fallback. The latter is
  functionally equivalent to the original filesystem-layer code.

  The blk-crypto implementation already existed, but previously it was
  used only when the filesystem was mounted with "-o inlinecrypt". Now,
  "-o inlinecrypt" just selects whether inline crypto hardware is used.

  To allow maintaining that user control over hardware use, the
  blk-crypto API is extended with a new flag BLK_CRYPTO_CFG_ALLOW_HW.

  Overall, this removes quite a bit of redundant code from ext4, f2fs,
  and fs/crypto/. It should make things easier for ongoing filesystem
  efforts such as iomap support, large folios, and btrfs encryption
  (btrfs had already been planning to use blk-crypto exclusively.)

  There are two small behavior changes of note:

   - Direct I/O now works on encrypted files even without "-o inlinecrypt",
     rather than falling back to buffered I/O. This is effectively a
     bugfix, though I'll continue to keep an eye out for any user that
     may have been depending on the buffered I/O fallback.

   - IV_INO_LBLK_32 policies are no longer supported in certain cases
     that didn't make sense and have no known uses.

  This has been in linux-next since July 22 with no reported issues. All
  encryption xfstests pass on ext4 and f2fs. As usual I've also been
  using it on a system with an fscrypt-encrypted home directory. Of
  course, the blk-crypto code paths also aren't new and were already
  being used on many systems via the inlinecrypt mount option.

  In addition to the main change described above, there are a few other
  cleanups such as using lock guards for mutexes, improving
  documentation, and removing a workaround for outdated gcc versions"

Linus Torvalds b9cba7ebfe Merge tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.binfmt' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull binfmt updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a bunch of work for binfmt_misc. It fixes a bunch of
  old bugs, reworks the locking, and then extends the format registry
  so a binary type can be matched programmatically and its interpreter
  computed per exec instead of being a fixed string recorded at
  registration time.

  This allows nixos and other to e.g., implement relocatable binaries
  meaning the interpreter/dynamic loader can be determined
  programatically, say found relative to the binary. The mechanism is
  flexible and can support other policies:

   - Handler lookup is now an rcu walk. An exec that matches no
     binfmt_misc entry should now never write to a shared cacheline

   - remove the VERBOSE_STATUS and USE_DEBUG compile time toggles

   - convert the entry file to a seq_file which simplifies things quite
     a bit and kills a lot of custom logic

   - make flags proper enums

   - rename struct Node to binfmt_misc_entry

   - allow entries to be removed with unlink(2)

   - Add the ability to attach bpf programs to binfmt_misc entries so
     it's possible to dynamically choose the execution environment such
     as the loader or interpreter on a per binary basis.

     A handler is an instance of a binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops with a
     ->match() and a ->load() program. match() decides from the entry
     lookup walk whether the handler applies under the same
     registration-order. It can read file content as needed not only the
     prefetched 256 bytes in bprm->buf.

     load() then selects the interpreter and stages it through the new
     bpf_binprm_set_interp(), bpf_binprm_set_interp_arg() and
     bpf_binprm_set_flags() kfuncs.

     Handlers are published in a registry keyed by the registering
     task's user namespace and activated through the existing text
     interface with a new 'B' type carrying the handler name:

	echo ':origin:B::::nix:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

     The permission and namespacing model is unchanged. Activating a
     handler requires the same write access to an instance as any other
     registration. A container mounting its own instance escapes the
     host's entries exactly as before. The computed interpreter is
     opened with open_exec() under the caller's credentials and goes
     through full LSM vetting as the next binprm level. A program can
     only ever redirect the caller to something the caller could exec
     anyway.

   - Two dispatch modes are added. So far the chosen interpreter owns
     the whole process identity (argv[0], /proc/pid/cmdline,
     /proc/self/exe all name interpreter information). So relocatable
     find the dynamic linker instead. Also a binary passed to execveat()
     as an inaccessible O_CLOEXEC fd cannot run at all and gdb trips
     because AT_ENTRY and AT_PHDR do not match the exe file. So PIE
     symbols are unrelocated.

     This adds transparent dispatch which allows the interpreter to load
     the binary through AT_EXECFD and leaves the argument vector exactly
     as the caller built it and labels mm->exe_file and comm with the
     binary. It also raises the AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP aux vector
     bit. The interpreter keeps control of mapping the binary.

     The second mode is loader substitution. This allows a binary to be
     executed natively and only the interpreter to be changed.

   - Last, interpreters can be bound at registration time. Each
     interpreter is opened by its own write with the credentials the
     entry file was opened with. The program picks one per exec with
     bpf_binprm_select_interp().

     Ucounts are used to properly account for pre-opened interpreters
     via /proc/sys/user/max_binfmt_misc_interpreters"

Mickaël Salaün 172b6a6d84 landlock: Document tracepoints
Until now, Landlock observability documentation covered only audit
records.  The tracepoints added by the previous commits introduce a
second channel with different semantics (firing regardless of audit
configuration and domain log flags, exposing the full ruleset and domain
state to eBPF via BTF), which kernel developers, administrators, and
userspace tool authors need to discover and compare against audit.

Add a dedicated "Landlock Trace Events" reference covering the event
categories, enabling events via tracefs, ruleset versioning, eBPF access
through BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT, and the same_exec and logged denial fields
(logged being the kernel's audit-logging decision, so a stateless ftrace
filter can select the denials audit would record with logged==1).
Cross-reference it from the administrator, kernel-internals, and
userspace API documents, contrasting tracepoints with audit: when each
channel is preferred, what each guarantees, and how NOAUDIT hooks and
audit rate limiting affect them.

Also document the relational other-party domain fields the scope and
ptrace denial tracepoints expose (tracee_domain, target_domain,
peer_domain; 0 when the other party is unsandboxed), so a consumer can
resolve them against the lifecycle events and reproduce the two-domain
verdict.
