Brett A C SheffieldandShuah Khan fbb7ad31ab docs: kselftest: remove link to obsolete wiki
Remove the reference to the obsolete kselftest wiki.

The kselftest wiki is marked obsolete and is no longer updated. The last
edit was in 2019, and the information is outdated, referring readers for
support to IRC networks that have not been used for years, and to kernel
versions that are no longer supported.

If there is any relevant information left in the wiki it needs to be
cleaned up and moved into the canonical kselftest documentation here.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Futex updates:

   - Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real, by
     Thomas Gleixner:

      "The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect to the
       clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending pointer because
       unlock and clearing the pointer are not atomic.

       The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op
       pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will
       access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up
       the robust list.

       That happens if another task manages to unmap the object
       containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF.

       In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when
       unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time
       the access happens.

       User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
       This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
       along:

        1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
           contended case

        2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
           fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted
           within the critical section.

David GowandShuah Khan e9e05c7275 kunit: tool: Add (primitive) support for outputting JUnit XML
This is used by things like Jenkins and other CI systems, which can
pretty-print the test output and potentially provide test-level comparisons
between runs.

The implementation here is pretty basic: it only provides the raw results,
split into tests and test suites, and doesn't provide any overall metadata.
However, CI systems like Jenkins can ingest it and it is already useful.

Jann HornandAndrew Morton 1d9c949369 kcov: allow simultaneous KCOV_ENABLE/KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE
Allow the same userspace thread to simultaneously collect normal coverage
in syscall context (KCOV_ENABLE) and remote coverage of asynchronous work
created by the thread (KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE).  With this, remote KCOV
coverage becomes useful for generic fuzzing and not just fuzzing of
specific data injection interfaces.

This requires that the task_struct::kcov_* fields are separated into ones
that are used by the task that generates coverage, and ones that are used
by the task that requested remote coverage.  To split this up:

 - Split task_struct::kcov into kcov and kcov_remote. kcov_task_exit() now
   has to clean up both separately.
 - Only use task_struct::kcov_mode on the task that generates coverage.
 - Only reset task_struct::kcov_handle on the task that requested remote
   coverage.

After this change, fields used by the task that generates coverage are:

 - kcov_mode
 - kcov_size
 - kcov_area
 - kcov
 - kcov_sequence
 - kcov_softirq

Fields used by the task that requested remote coverage are:

 - kcov_remote
 - kcov_handle

still have older assembler tools which cannot handle C++ style comments. 
This avoids forcing this for projects which vendored checkpatch.pl (e.g.

checkpatch.pl searches for .checkpatch.conf in $CWD, $HOME and
$CWD/.scripts.  Allow passing a single directory via CHECKPATCH_CONFIG_DIR
environment variable (empty value is ignored).  This allows to directly
use project configuration file for projects which vendored checkpatch.pl
(e.g.  LTP or u-boot).

Although it'd be more convenient for user to have --conf-dir option
(instead of using environment variable), code would get ugly because
options from the configuration file needs to be read before processing
command line options with Getopt::Long.

While at it, document directories and environment variable in -h help

Marco ElverandPeter Zijlstra f45c5c4adb compiler-context-analysis: Bump required Clang version to 23
Clang 23 introduces several major improvements:

1. Support for multiple arguments in the `guarded_by` and
   `pt_guarded_by` attributes [1]. This allows defining variables
   protected by multiple context locks, where read access requires
   holding at least one lock (shared or exclusive), and write access
   requires holding all of them exclusively.

2. Function pointer support [2]. We can now add attributes to function
   pointers just like we do on normal functions.

3. A fix to use arrays of locks [3]. Each index is now correctly treated
   as a separate lock instance.

4. A fix for implicit member access in attributes [4]. This allows to
   use __guarded_by(&foo->lock) correctly.

Overall that makes it worthwhile bumping the compiler version instead of
trying to make both Clang 22 and later work while supporting these new
features.

Ricardo B. MarlièreandShuah Khan bb86954a67 docs: kselftest: Document the FORCE_TARGETS build variable
FORCE_TARGETS has been part of the kselftest build system for
some time but is absent from the developer documentation. Without
an entry here, users relying on kselftest in CI pipelines would
have to read the selftests Makefile directly to discover the
option.

A build that exits zero despite some targets failing can mask
real breakage and mislead automated systems into reporting
success. Add a dedicated section so that CI authors can easily
find and adopt FORCE_TARGETS=1 to turn such silent partial
failures into hard errors.

 "A busier cycle than I had expected for docs, including:

   - New documents covering CPU isolation, managed interrupts, debugging

   - More tooling work from Mauro, reducing docs-build warnings, adding

David Hildenbrand (Arm)andAndrew Morton 9de209c183 kasan: docs: SLUB is the only remaining slab implementation
We have only the SLUB implementation left in the kernel (referred to as
"slab").  Therefore, there is nothing special regarding KASAN modes when
it comes to the slab allocator anymore.

Drop the stale comment regarding differing SLUB vs. SLAB support.

Marco ElverandAndrew Morton da735962d0 kfence: add kfence.fault parameter
Add kfence.fault parameter to control the behavior when a KFENCE error is
detected (similar in spirit to kasan.fault=<mode>).

The supported modes for kfence.fault=<mode> are:

  - report: print the error report and continue (default).
  - oops: print the error report and oops.
  - panic: print the error report and panic.

In particular, the 'oops' mode offers a trade-off between no mitigation
on report and panicking outright (if panic_on_oops is not set).

the --list_suites option to kunit.py, but the update to the corresponding
run_wrapper documentation was omitted.

Add the missing description for --list_suites to keep the documentation in
