Linus Torvalds 3424d8c18a Merge tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
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.

Jinjie Ruan 7ba2ba7471 seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean
The return value of __secure_computing() currently uses 0 to indicate
that a system call should be allowed, and -1 to indicate that it should
be blocked/killed. This 0/-1 pattern is non-intuitive for a security
check function and makes the control flow at the call sites less readable.

Furthermore, any potential future changes to these return values would
require a high-risk, error-prone audit of all its users across different
architectures.

Sanitize this logic by converting the return type of __secure_computing()
to a proper boolean, where 'true' explicitly means 'allow' and 'false'
means 'fail/deny'.

Update all the two dozen or so call sites across the tree to align with
this new boolean semantic. No functional changes are intended, as the
callers still return -1 to the lower-level assembly entry code upon
seccomp denial.

Rename the function to __seccomp_permit_syscall() so that the purpose is
entirely clear.

[ tglx: Rename the function ]

Thomas Gleixner 34594da765 genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four
Quite some architectures have four character wide acronyms for architecture
specific interrupts like IPI, NMI, etc.

The default precision of printing the Linux device interrupt numbers is
three, which causes quite some code to play games with adding or omitting
space after the acronym and the colon in order to keep the per CPU numbers
properly aligned.

Increase the default number precision to four in the core code and get rid
of the space games all over the place. At the same time align all
architecture specific descriptor texts left so that they show up in the
same column as the interrupt chip names, which makes the output more
uniform accross architectures. Fix up the GDB script to this new scheme as
well.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) 6215d9f447 arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

Nathan Chancellor 8678591b47 kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS
Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Thomas Gleixner 99d2592023 rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the
kernel granted a time slice extension.

sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally
schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to
schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a
strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls
including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

Menglong Dong 35561bab76 arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

Simon Schuster bbc46b23af arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

Jiri Bohac 35c18f2933 Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel= command line option
Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5.

This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory
using CMA.

Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st
(production) kernel.  It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by
the fault that will eventually trigger the crash.  This makes sense for
the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd
and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...).  However, the
reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough
run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace.  Estimating
the amount of memory to reserve is difficult.  Being too careful makes
kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from
the production system.  Also, the reservation only allows reserving a
single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix).  I've seen systems
where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented.

By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel
reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image,
minimizing the memory taken away from the production system.  Most of the
run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available
to userspace in the production system.  As this memory is no longer
wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump
more reliable.  Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is
normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as
movable.  Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap.
Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore.  User data is
typically not dumped by makedumpfile.  When dumping of user data is
intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used.

There are five patches in this series:

The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic
crashkernel parsing code.  parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to
store the cma reservation size.

The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the
reservation.  If the requested size is not available in a single range,
multiple smaller ranges will be reserved.

The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the
potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory.

The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel,
allowing pending DMA transfers to finish.

The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of
concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do:
- call reserve_crashkernel_cma()
- include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map
- exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available
  through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo
  PT_LOAD ranges.

Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this
series is merged.

With this series applied, specifying
	crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma
on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation
of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd.

An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production
system.  The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available.  The 100M can
be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd.

The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no
crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before.


This patch (of 5):

Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel().  When not NULL, call
__parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from
"crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size.

Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

Andrey Albershteyn be7efb2d20 fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls
Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode
extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and
pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat()
semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended
attributes.

This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference
that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path
instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended
attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This
is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files
we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd.

This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set
extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory
and a path - *at() like syscall.

Artur Rojek 427011db47 sh: Align .bss section padding to 8-byte boundary
J2-based devices expect to find a device tree blob at the end of the
.bss section. As of a77725a9a3 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream
version v1.6.1-19-g0a3a9d3449c8"), libfdt enforces 8-byte alignment
for the DTB, causing J2 devices to fail early in sh_fdt_init().

As the J2 loader firmware calculates the DTB location based on the kernel
image .bss section size rather than the __bss_stop symbol offset, the
required alignment can't be enforced with BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 8).

To fix this, inline a modified version of the above macro which grows
.bss by the required size. While this change affects all existing SH
boards, it should be benign on platforms which don't need this alignment.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:

 - Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c

   All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
   leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
   increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
   are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge

 - ctl_table range fixes

   Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
   coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
   extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
   values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing

Arnd Bergmann 2494fce26e sh: remove duplicate ioread/iowrite helpers
The ioread/iowrite functions on sh only do memory mapped I/O like the
generic verion, and never map onto non-MMIO inb/outb variants, so they
just add complexity. In particular, the use of asm-generic/iomap.h
ties the declaration to the x86 implementation.

Remove the custom versions and use the architecture-independent fallback
code instead. Some of the calling conventions on sh are different here,
so fix that by adding 'volatile' keywords where required by the generic
implementation and change the cpg clock driver to no longer depend on
the interesting choice of return types for ioread8/ioread16/ioread32.

Nicolas Bouchinet a231f5bdfd sysctl: Fix underflow value setting risk in vm_table
Commit 3b3376f222 ("sysctl.c: fix underflow value setting risk in vm_table")
fixes underflow value setting risk in vm_table but misses vdso_enabled
sysctl.

vdso_enabled sysctl is initialized with .extra1 value as SYSCTL_ZERO to
avoid negative value writes but the proc_handler is proc_dointvec and
not proc_dointvec_minmax and thus do not uses .extra1 and .extra2.

The following command thus works :

`# echo -1 > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled`

This patch properly sets the proc_handler to proc_dointvec_minmax.
In addition to .extra1, .extra2 is set to SYSCTL_ONE. The sysctl is
thus bounded between 0 and 1.

Christian Göttsche 6140be90ec fs/xattr: add *at family syscalls
Add the four syscalls setxattrat(), getxattrat(), listxattrat() and
removexattrat().  Those can be used to operate on extended attributes,
especially security related ones, either relative to a pinned directory
or on a file descriptor without read access, avoiding a
/proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> detour, requiring a mounted procfs.

One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts
("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file
descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission.

Use the do_{name}at() pattern from fs/open.c.

Pass the value of the extended attribute, its length, and for
setxattrat(2) the command (XATTR_CREATE or XATTR_REPLACE) via an added
struct xattr_args to not exceed six syscall arguments and not
merging the AT_* and XATTR_* flags.

[AV: fixes by Christian Brauner folded in, the entire thing rebased on
top of {filename,file}_...xattr() primitives, treatment of empty
pathnames regularized.  As the result, AT_EMPTY_PATH+NULL handling
is cheap, so f...(2) can use it]

Usama Arif b2473a3597 of/fdt: add dt_phys arg to early_init_dt_scan and early_init_dt_verify
__pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

Linus Torvalds 497258dfaf mm: remove legacy install_special_mapping() code
All relevant architectures had already been converted to the new interface
(which just has an underscore in front of the name - not very imaginative
naming), this just force-converts the stragglers.

The modern interface is almost identical to the old one, except instead of
the page pointer it takes a "struct vm_special_mapping" that describes the
mapping (and contains the page pointer as one member), and it returns the
resulting 'vma' instead of just the error code.

Getting rid of the old interface also gets rid of some special casing,
which had caused problems with the mremap extensions to "struct
vm_special_mapping".

Arnd Bergmann 30766f1105 sh: rework sync_file_range ABI
The unusual function calling conventions on SuperH ended up causing
sync_file_range to have the wrong argument order, with the 'flags'
argument getting sorted before 'nbytes' by the compiler.

In userspace, I found that musl, glibc, uclibc and strace all expect the
normal calling conventions with 'nbytes' last, so changing the kernel
to match them should make all of those work.

In order to be able to also fix libc implementations to work with existing
kernels, they need to be able to tell which ABI is used. An easy way
to do this is to add yet another system call using the sync_file_range2
ABI that works the same on all architectures.

Old user binaries can now work on new kernels, and new binaries can
try the new sync_file_range2() to work with new kernels or fall back
to the old sync_file_range() version if that doesn't exist.

Jeff Xu ff388fe5c4 mseal: wire up mseal syscall
Patch series "Introduce mseal", v10.

This patchset proposes a new mseal() syscall for the Linux kernel.

In a nutshell, mseal() protects the VMAs of a given virtual memory range
against modifications, such as changes to their permission bits.

Modern CPUs support memory permissions, such as the read/write (RW) and
no-execute (NX) bits.  Linux has supported NX since the release of kernel
version 2.6.8 in August 2004 [1].  The memory permission feature improves
the security stance on memory corruption bugs, as an attacker cannot
simply write to arbitrary memory and point the code to it.  The memory
must be marked with the X bit, or else an exception will occur. 
Internally, the kernel maintains the memory permissions in a data
structure called VMA (vm_area_struct).  mseal() additionally protects the
VMA itself against modifications of the selected seal type.

Memory sealing is useful to mitigate memory corruption issues where a
corrupted pointer is passed to a memory management system.  For example,
such an attacker primitive can break control-flow integrity guarantees
since read-only memory that is supposed to be trusted can become writable
or .text pages can get remapped.  Memory sealing can automatically be
applied by the runtime loader to seal .text and .rodata pages and
applications can additionally seal security critical data at runtime.  A
similar feature already exists in the XNU kernel with the
VM_FLAGS_PERMANENT [3] flag and on OpenBSD with the mimmutable syscall
[4].  Also, Chrome wants to adopt this feature for their CFI work [2] and
this patchset has been designed to be compatible with the Chrome use case.

Two system calls are involved in sealing the map:  mmap() and mseal().

The new mseal() is an syscall on 64 bit CPU, and with following signature:

int mseal(void addr, size_t len, unsigned long flags)
addr/len: memory range.
flags: reserved.

mseal() blocks following operations for the given memory range.

1> Unmapping, moving to another location, and shrinking the size,
   via munmap() and mremap(), can leave an empty space, therefore can
   be replaced with a VMA with a new set of attributes.

2> Moving or expanding a different VMA into the current location,
   via mremap().

3> Modifying a VMA via mmap(MAP_FIXED).

4> Size expansion, via mremap(), does not appear to pose any specific
   risks to sealed VMAs. It is included anyway because the use case is
   unclear. In any case, users can rely on merging to expand a sealed VMA.

5> mprotect() and pkey_mprotect().

6> Some destructive madvice() behaviors (e.g. MADV_DONTNEED) for anonymous
   memory, when users don't have write permission to the memory. Those
   behaviors can alter region contents by discarding pages, effectively a
   memset(0) for anonymous memory.

The idea that inspired this patch comes from Stephen Röttger’s work in
V8 CFI [5].  Chrome browser in ChromeOS will be the first user of this
API.

Indeed, the Chrome browser has very specific requirements for sealing,
which are distinct from those of most applications.  For example, in the
case of libc, sealing is only applied to read-only (RO) or read-execute
(RX) memory segments (such as .text and .RELRO) to prevent them from
becoming writable, the lifetime of those mappings are tied to the lifetime
of the process.

Chrome wants to seal two large address space reservations that are managed
by different allocators.  The memory is mapped RW- and RWX respectively
but write access to it is restricted using pkeys (or in the future ARM
permission overlay extensions).  The lifetime of those mappings are not
tied to the lifetime of the process, therefore, while the memory is
sealed, the allocators still need to free or discard the unused memory. 
For example, with madvise(DONTNEED).

However, always allowing madvise(DONTNEED) on this range poses a security
risk.  For example if a jump instruction crosses a page boundary and the
second page gets discarded, it will overwrite the target bytes with zeros
and change the control flow.  Checking write-permission before the discard
operation allows us to control when the operation is valid.  In this case,
the madvise will only succeed if the executing thread has PKEY write
permissions and PKRU changes are protected in software by control-flow
integrity.

Although the initial version of this patch series is targeting the Chrome
browser as its first user, it became evident during upstream discussions
that we would also want to ensure that the patch set eventually is a
complete solution for memory sealing and compatible with other use cases. 
The specific scenario currently in mind is glibc's use case of loading and
sealing ELF executables.  To this end, Stephen is working on a change to
glibc to add sealing support to the dynamic linker, which will seal all
non-writable segments at startup.  Once this work is completed, all
applications will be able to automatically benefit from these new
protections.

In closing, I would like to formally acknowledge the valuable
contributions received during the RFC process, which were instrumental in
shaping this patch:

Jann Horn: raising awareness and providing valuable insights on the
  destructive madvise operations.
Liam R. Howlett: perf optimization.
Linus Torvalds: assisting in defining system call signature and scope.
Theo de Raadt: sharing the experiences and insight gained from
  implementing mimmutable() in OpenBSD.

MM perf benchmarks
==================
This patch adds a loop in the mprotect/munmap/madvise(DONTNEED) to
check the VMAs’ sealing flag, so that no partial update can be made,
when any segment within the given memory range is sealed.

To measure the performance impact of this loop, two tests are developed.
[8]

The first is measuring the time taken for a particular system call,
by using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC). The second is using
PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES (exclude user space). Both tests have
similar results.

The tests have roughly below sequence:
for (i = 0; i < 1000, i++)
    create 1000 mappings (1 page per VMA)
    start the sampling
    for (j = 0; j < 1000, j++)
        mprotect one mapping
    stop and save the sample
    delete 1000 mappings
calculates all samples.

Below tests are performed on Intel(R) Pentium(R) Gold 7505 @ 2.00GHz,
4G memory, Chromebook.

For 5.10 kernel, sealing check adds 0-15 ns in time, or 10-30
CPU cycles, there is even decrease in some cases.

It might be interesting to compare 5.10 and 6.8 kernel

From 5.10 to 6.8
munmap: added 250-550 ns in time, or 500-1100 in cpu cycle, per vma.
mprotect: added 200-750 ns in time, or 500-1200 in cpu cycle, per vma.
madvise: added 33-50 ns in time, or 70-110 in cpu cycle, per vma.

In comparison to mseal, which adds 20-40 ns or 50-100 CPU cycles, the
increase from 5.10 to 6.8 is significantly larger, approximately ten times
greater for munmap and mprotect.

When I discuss the mm performance with Brian Makin, an engineer who worked
on performance, it was brought to my attention that such performance
benchmarks, which measuring millions of mm syscall in a tight loop, may
not accurately reflect real-world scenarios, such as that of a database
service.  Also this is tested using a single HW and ChromeOS, the data
from another HW or distribution might be different.  It might be best to
take this data with a grain of salt.


This patch (of 5):

Wire up mseal syscall for all architectures.

Linus Torvalds ff9a79307f Merge tag 'kbuild-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Avoid 'constexpr', which is a keyword in C23

 - Allow 'dtbs_check' and 'dt_compatible_check' run independently of
   'dt_binding_check'

 - Fix weak references to avoid GOT entries in position-independent code
   generation

 - Convert the last use of 'optional' property in arch/sh/Kconfig

 - Remove support for the 'optional' property in Kconfig

 - Remove support for Clang's ThinLTO caching, which does not work with
   the .incbin directive

 - Change the semantics of $(src) so it always points to the source
   directory, which fixes Makefile inconsistencies between upstream and
   downstream

 - Fix 'make tar-pkg' for RISC-V to produce a consistent package

 - Provide reasonable default coverage for objtool, sanitizers, and
   profilers

 - Remove redundant OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, KASAN_SANITIZE, etc.

 - Remove the last use of tristate choice in drivers/rapidio/Kconfig

 - Various cleanups and fixes in Kconfig
