39ec9eaaa1 coredump: Only sort VMAs when core_sort_vma sysctl is set
The sorting of VMAs by size in commit 7d442a33bf ("binfmt_elf: Dump
smaller VMAs first in ELF cores") breaks elfutils[1]. Instead, sort
based on the setting of the new sysctl, core_sort_vma, which defaults
to 0, no sorting.

2b3933b1e0 fuse: enable dynamic configuration of fuse max pages limit (FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES)
Introduce the capability to dynamically configure the max pages limit
(FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES) through a sysctl. This allows system administrators
to dynamically set the maximum number of pages that can be used for
servicing requests in fuse.

Previously, this is gated by FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES which is statically set
to 256 pages. One result of this is that the buffer size for a write
request is limited to 1 MiB on a 4k-page system.

The default value for this sysctl is the original limit (256 pages).

$ sysctl -a | grep max_pages_limit
fs.fuse.max_pages_limit = 256

$ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit
256

$ echo 1024 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit
1024

$ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit
1024

$ echo 65536 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit
tee: /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit: Invalid argument

$ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit
tee: /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit: Invalid argument

$ echo 65535 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit
65535

$ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit
65535

e6957c99dc vfs: Add a sysctl for automated deletion of dentry
Commit 681ce86235 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when deleting a
file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the associated dentry when a
file is removed. However, this led to performance regressions in specific
benchmarks, such as ilebench.sum_operations/s [0], prompting a revert in
commit 4a4be1ad3a ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file"").

This patch seeks to reintroduce the concept conditionally, where the
associated dentry is deleted only when the user explicitly opts for it
during file removal. A new sysctl fs.automated_deletion_of_dentry is
added for this purpose. Its default value is set to 0.

There are practical use cases for this proactive dentry reclamation.
Besides the Elasticsearch use case mentioned in commit 681ce86235,
additional examples have surfaced in our production environment. For
instance, in video rendering services that continuously generate temporary
files, upload them to persistent storage servers, and then delete them, a
large number of negative dentries—serving no useful purpose—accumulate.
Users in such cases would benefit from proactively reclaiming these
negative dentries.

f122668ddc ARC: Add eBPF JIT support
This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.

The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:

test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120  224  260 PASS

test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1  23 PASS

test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS

Deployment and structure
------------------------
The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net":

- bpf_jit.h       -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide
- bpf_jit_core.c  -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream
- bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic

The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance
to the whole process. Normally, the translation is done in one pass,
namely the "normal pass". In case some relocations are not known during
this pass, some data (arc_jit_data) is allocated for the next pass to
come. This possible next (and last) pass is called the "extra pass".

1. Normal pass       # The necessary pass
     1a. Dry run       # Get the whole JIT length, epilogue offset, etc.
     1b. Emit phase    # Allocate memory and start emitting instructions
2. Extra pass        # Only needed if there are relocations to be fixed
     2a. Patch relocations

Support status
--------------
The JIT compiler supports BPF instructions up to "cpu=v4". However, it
does not yet provide support for:

- Tail calls
- Atomic operations
- 64-bit division/remainder
- BPF_PROBE_MEM* (exception table)

The result of "test_bpf" test suite on an HSDK board is:

hsdk-lnx# insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf

  test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]

All the failing test cases are due to the ones that were not JIT'ed.
Categorically, they can be represented as:

  .-----------.------------.-------------.
  | test type |   opcodes  | # of cases  |

Setup: build config
-------------------
The following configs must be set to have a working JIT test:

  CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
  CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
  CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m

The following options are not necessary for the tests module,
but are good to have:

  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y             # prerequisite for below
  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y         # so bpftool can generate vmlinux.h

  CONFIG_FTRACE=y                 #
  CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y            # all these options lead to
  CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y          # having CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
  CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y            #

Some BPF programs provide data through /sys/kernel/debug:
  CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
arc# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug

Setup: elfutils
---------------
The libdw.{so,a} library that is used by pahole for processing
the final binary must come from elfutils 0.189 or newer. The
support for ARCv2 [1] has been added since that version.

[1]
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commit;h=de3d46b3e7

Setup: pahole
-------------
The line below in linux/scripts/Makefile.btf must be commented out:

pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 121) += --btf_gen_floats

Or else, the build will fail:

$ make V=1
  ...
  BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
pahole -J --btf_gen_floats                    \
       -j --lang_exclude=rust                 \
       --skip_encoding_btf_inconsistent_proto \
       --btf_gen_optimized .tmp_vmlinux.btf
Complex, interval and imaginary float types are not supported
Encountered error while encoding BTF.
  ...
  BTFIDS  vmlinux
./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: No data available

This is due to the fact that the ARC toolchains generate
"complex float" DIE entries in libgcc and at the moment, pahole
can't handle such entries.

22d407b164 lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling
Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily
instrument memory allocators.  It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type
with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when
the feature is enabled.

CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory
allocation profiling instrumentation.

Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation
profiling by default.

ad584d73a2 Merge tag 'trace-v6.9-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Main user visible change:

   - User events can now have "multi formats"

     The current user events have a single format. If another event is
     created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That
     is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a
     different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an
     event and updates its format. An application using the older format
     will prevent an application using the new library from registering
     its event.

     A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event
     names, and it creates events with different formats.

     The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
     format. Both the event name and its format are the unique
     identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the
     same user event name but with different payloads.

   - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
     not just the main top level tracing buffer.

  Other changes:

   - Add eventfs_root_inode

     Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away)
     and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands
     of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set
     in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a
     eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root
     inode will use this.

   - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs

     There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be
     hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to
     make sure that they are never hit.

   - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid
     array

     The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to
     hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already
     apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory
     can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as
     well.

   - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in
     TRACE_EVENT()

     Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:

         __string(name, source)

     And assigned with:

        __assign_str(name, source)

     In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to
     get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and
     __assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer.
     There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT()
     macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in
     the ring buffer which is created by __string().

     There are several trace events that have a function to create the
     string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for
     __string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for
     this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in
     __string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also
     already has its length).

     By using the structure to store the source string for the
     assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is
     no longer needed.

     It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a
     warning if the source string given to __string() is different than
     the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to
     __assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away.

   - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
     source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the
     next merge window.

     Included fixes that the above check found.

   - Other minor clean ups and fixes"

19f0423fd5 tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oops
Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For
debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to
check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for
other purposes.

This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific
or multiple trace instances:

  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer
  on all CPUs
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global
  trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the
  tracing instance matching <instance_name>
  - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu],
  <instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace
  buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU
  that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given

Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

12a686c2e7 net: make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable
This patch adds /proc/sys/net/core/mem_pcpu_rsv sysctl file,
to make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable.

Commit 3cd3399dd7 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for
memory_allocated") introduced per-cpu forward alloc cache:

"Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number
of changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated, which
would otherwise be cause of false sharing."

sk_prot->memory_allocated points to global atomic variable:
atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB,
changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated can be further reduced.
Performance may be improved on system with many cores.

2e3fc6ca52 panic: add option to dump blocked tasks in panic_print
For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of
panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks.  On today's large servers
running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and
this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for
serial console which is main target user case of panic_print).

And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the
panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

9220066ea8 docs: add information about ipc sysctls limitations
After 25b21cb2f6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111b
("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped being
global and started counting per ipc namespace.  The documentation and
shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option.

shmget(2):

SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured in
units of the system page size.  On Linux, this limit can be read and
modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall.

I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.

     space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
     table.

   - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

   - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

   - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
     created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
     runtime.

   - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
     filters.

   - MCTP over I3C.

  BPF:

   - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
     the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

   - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
     be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
     flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

          https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

   - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
     per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
     value for the current CPU.

     This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
     storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

   - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
     for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
     running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
     of different services.

   - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
     made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

   - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
     use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

   - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

   - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

   - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
     fentry/fexit programs.

   - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
     kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

   - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

   - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

  Changes to common code:

   - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
     flexible array members.

   - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

  Driver API:

   - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
     mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

   - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
     querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
     network time distribution.

   - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
     Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

   - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

   - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
     correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
     addresses.

   - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

   - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

   - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

  Misc:

   - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

   - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

   - A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.

   - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

   - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

   - AppleTalk COPS.

   - AppleTalk ipddp.
