Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Remove MPS/MRRS Kconfig settings (CONFIG_PCIE_BUS_*) that worked
     around a WiFi device defect; use a quirk or boot-time
     "pci=pcie_bus_tune_*" kernel parameter instead (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Always lift 2.5GT/s restriction in PCIe failed link retraining to
     avoid clamping a link to 2.5GT/s after hot-plug changes the device
     (Maciej W. Rozycki)

   - Request bus reassignment when not probe-only to fix an enumeration
     regression on Marvell CN106XX and possibly other DT-based systems
     (Ratheesh Kannoth)

   - Fix procfs race between pci_proc_init() and pci_bus_add_device()
     that resulted in 'proc_dir_entry ... already registered' warnings
     and pointer corruption (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Fix sysfs race that causes 'duplicate filename' warnings and boot
     panics by converting PCI resource files to static attributes
     (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Expose sysfs 'resourceN_resize' attributes only on platforms with
     PCI mmap (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to write to sysfs 'resourceN_resize'
     attributes (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Add security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS) to alpha PCI resource
     mmap path to match the generic path (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

   - Use kstrtobool() to parse the 'rom' attribute input to avoid the
     unexpected behavior of enabling the ROM when writing '0' with no
     trailing newline (Krzysztof Wilczyński)

  Resource management:

   - Improve resource claim logging for debuggability (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Clean up several uses of const parameters (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Check option ROM header signatures and lengths before accessing to
     avoid page faults and alignment faults (Guixin Liu)

  ASPM:

   - Don't reconfigure ASPM when entering low-power D-state; only do it
     when returning back to D0 (Carlos Bilbao)

  Power management:

   - During suspend, set power state to 'unknown' for all devices, not
     just those with drivers (Lukas Wunner)

   - Skip restoring Resizable BARs and VF Resizable BARs if device
     doesn't respond to config reads, to avoid invalid array accesses
     (Marco Nenciarini)

   - Add pci_suspend_retains_context() so drivers can tell whether
     devices retain internal state across suspend/resume, since some
     platforms reset devices on suspend; use this in nvme to avoid
     issues on Qcom RCs (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  Power control:

   - Only to power on/off devices that actually support power control to
     avoid poking at incompatible devices mentioned in DT (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

  Virtualization and resets:

   - Log device readiness timeouts as errors, not warnings, because the
     device is likely unusable in this case (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Wait for device readiness after soft reset (D3hot ->
     D0uninitialized transition), when the device may respond with
     Request Retry Status (RRS) if it needs more time to initialize
     (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Drop unnecessary retries when restoring BARs because resets should
     now already include all required delays (Lukas Wunner)

   - Avoid FLR for MediaTek MT7925 WiFi, where FLR fails after a VM
     terminates uncleanly (Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez)

   - Avoid SBR for Qualcomm WCN6855/WCN7850 WiFi, SDX62/SDX65 modems,
     which seem not to support it correctly (Jose Ignacio Tornos
     Martinez)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Prevent P2PDMA as well as CPU access to non-mappable BARs, e.g.,
     s390 ISM BARs (Matt Evans)

   - Add Intel QAT, DSA, IAA devices to whitelist (Lukas Wunner)

  Endpoint framework:

   - Add endpoint controller APIs for use by function drivers to
     discover auxiliary blocks like DMA engines (Koichiro Den)

   - Remember DesignWare eDMA engine base/size and expose them via the
     EPC aux-resource API (Koichiro Den)

   - Add endpoint embedded doorbell fallback, used if MSI allocation
     fails (Koichiro Den)

   - Validate BAR index and remove dead BAR read in endpoint doorbell
     test (Carlos Bilbao)

   - Unwind MSI/MSI-X vectors if NTB initialization fails part-way
     through (Koichiro Den)

   - Cache sleepable pci_irq_vector() value at ISR setup to avoid
     calling it from hardirq context (Koichiro Den)

   - Call sleepable pci_epc_raise_irq() from a work item instead of
     atomic context, e.g., when setting bits in NTB peer doorbells in
     the ntb_peer_db_set() path (Koichiro Den)

   - Report 0-based vNTB doorbell vector to account for link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1 (Koichiro Den)

   - Prevent configfs writes to vNTB db_count and other values that are
     already in use after EPC attach (Koichiro Den)

   - Account for vNTB db_valid reserved slots (link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1) so they don't appear as valid
     doorbells (Koichiro Den)

   - Implement vNTB .db_vector_count()/mask() for doorbells so clients
     can use multiple vectors and avoid thundering herds (Koichiro Den)

   - Report 0-based NTB doorbell vector to account for link event 0 and
     historically skipped slot 1 (Koichiro Den)

   - Fix doorbell bitmask and IRQ vector handling to clear only
     specified bits, use the correct vector for non-contiguous Linux IRQ
     numbers, and validate incoming vectors (Koichiro Den)

   - Implement NTB .db_vector_count()/mask() for doorbells so clients
     can use multiple vectors (Koichiro Den)

  Native PCIe controller infrastructure:

   - Add pci_host_common_link_train_delay() for the mandatory delay
     after > 5GT/s Link training completes and use it for cadence HPA,
     j721e, LGA; dwc; aardvark, mediatek-gen3, rzg3s (Hans Zhang)

   - Protect root bus removal with rescan lock in altera, brcmstb,
     cadence, dwc, iproc, mediatek, plda, rockchip to prevent
     use-after-free or crashes when racing with sysfs rescan or hotplug
     (Hans Zhang)

   - Add pci_host_common_parse_ports() for use by any native driver to
     parse Root Port properties (per-Link features like width, speed,
     PHY, power and reset control, etc should be described in Root Port
     stanzas, not the host bridge; currently only reset GPIOs
     implemented) (Sherry Sun)

  New native PCIe controller drivers:

   - Add DT binding and driver for UltraRISC DP1000 PCIe controller
     (Xincheng Zhang, Jia Wang)

   - Restore .map_irq() assignment; its removal broke INTx on the iproc
     platform bus driver (Mark Tomlinson)

  Broadcom STB PCIe controller driver:

   - No change, but products using certain WiFi devices may be affected
     by removal of CONFIG_PCIE_BUS_* (see above)

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Move IMX6SX_GPR12_PCIE_TEST_POWERDOWN handling into the core reset
     functions (Richard Zhu)

   - Assert PERST# before enabling regulators to ensure that even if
     power is enabled, endpoint stays inactive until REFCLK is stable
     (Sherry Sun)

   - Parse reset properties in Root Port nodes (falling back to host
     bridge) to help support Key E connectors and the pwrctrl framework
     (Sherry Sun)

     PCIE_FTS_NUM_L0 (Li RongQing)

   - Fix IRQ domain leak when port fails to enable (Manivannan
     Sadhasivam)

   - Use actual physical address for MSI message address instead of
     virt_to_phys() (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Add EcoNet EN7528 to DT binding (Caleb James DeLisle)

     Chundru)

   - Power down PHY via PARF_PHY_CTRL before disabling rails/clocks to
     avoid power leakage (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Decide whether suspend should put the link in L2 and power down
     using pci_host_common_d3cold_possible() instead of checking whether

Krzysztof WilczyńskiandBjorn Helgaas 4e14b965a6 PCI/sysfs: Convert legacy I/O and memory attributes to static definitions
Currently, legacy_io and legacy_mem are dynamically allocated and created
by pci_create_legacy_files(), with pci_adjust_legacy_attr() updating the
attributes at runtime on Alpha to rename them and shift the size for sparse
addressing.

Convert to four static const attributes (legacy_io, legacy_io_sparse,
legacy_mem, legacy_mem_sparse) with .is_bin_visible() callbacks that use
pci_legacy_has_sparse() to select the appropriate variant per bus.  The
sizes are compile-time constants and .size is set directly on each
attribute.

Register the groups in pcibus_groups[] under a HAVE_PCI_LEGACY guard so the
driver model handles creation and removal automatically.

Stub out pci_create_legacy_files() and pci_remove_legacy_files() as the
dynamic creation is no longer needed.  Remove the __weak
pci_adjust_legacy_attr(), Alpha's override, and its declaration from both
Alpha and PowerPC asm/pci.h headers.

Krzysztof WilczyńskiandBjorn Helgaas 574b5470f8 PCI/sysfs: Add __weak pci_legacy_has_sparse() helper
Currently, Alpha's sparse/dense legacy attribute handling is done via
pci_adjust_legacy_attr(), which updates dynamically allocated attributes at
runtime.  The upcoming conversion to static attributes needs a way to
determine sparse support at visibility check time.

Add a __weak pci_legacy_has_sparse() that returns false by default.  Alpha
overrides it to check has_sparse() on the bus host controller.

Krzysztof WilczyńskiandBjorn Helgaas b7a57ffd4d alpha/PCI: Convert resource files to static attributes
Previously, Alpha's PCI resource files (resourceN, resourceN_sparse,
resourceN_dense) were dynamically created by pci_create_resource_files(),
which overrides the generic __weak implementation.  The previous code
allocated bin_attributes at runtime and managed them via the res_attr[] and
res_attr_wc[] fields in struct pci_dev.

Convert to static const attributes with three attribute groups (plain,
sparse, dense), each with an .is_bin_visible() callback that checks
resource length, has_sparse(), and sparse_mem_mmap_fits().  A .bin_size()
callback provides the resource size to the kernfs node, with the sparse
variant shifting by 5 bits for byte-level addressing.

Register the groups via ARCH_PCI_DEV_GROUPS so the driver model handles
creation and removal automatically.

Use the new pci_resource_is_mem() helper for the type check, replacing the
open-coded bitwise flag test.

Finally, remove pci_create_resource_files(), pci_remove_resource_files(),
pci_create_attr(), and pci_create_one_attr() which are no longer needed.

Kees Cook 4cb5e246e6 alpha: Remove arch-specific strncpy() implementation
strncpy() has no remaining callers in the kernel[1]. Remove the
alpha-specific assembly implementation and __HAVE_ARCH_STRNCPY define,
falling back to the generic version in lib/string.c.

The __stxncpy helper (stxncpy.S/ev6-stxncpy.S) is retained as it is
still used by strncat.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
     lock in anon_pipe_write().

     anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
     pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
     memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
     concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
     pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
     into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
     is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
     section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
     writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
     write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
     holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
     21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
     selftests.

   - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
     copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
     in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
     copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
     helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).

   - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
     inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
     attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
     information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
     that was merged into systemd.

   - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
     the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
     on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
     conversions and iomap migration.

  Fixes:

   - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
     and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
     one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
     filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
     callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
     SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.

   - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
     qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
     device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
     the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
     follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
     minix v3 block size fails.

   - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.

   - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
     switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
     from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
     path.

   - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
     delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
     performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
     s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.

   - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
     grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
     listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
     where the tests should SKIP.

   - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
     CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.

   - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
     running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.

   - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
     validate_coredump_safety().

   - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
     __iomap_write_begin().

   - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.

  Cleanups:

   - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
     instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
     extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
     prefixes.

   - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
     across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
     isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
     do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
     allocator calls with kmalloc().

   - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
     journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.

   - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
     start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
     into start_removing_path().

   - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().

   - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for
     the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
     architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.

   - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
     via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.

   - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
     allocation against multiplication overflow.

   - fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once.

   - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().

   - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().

   - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().

   - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

   - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix
     assorted spelling mistakes"

Linus Torvalds 50b900c564 Merge tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.openat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull openat2 updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2). To get an operable file
     descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use
     openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types
     require going through open("/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>") and thus depend
     on a functioning procfs.

     With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY
     is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind
     the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included.

   - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open
     anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code.

     This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature
     requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services
     from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends.

     All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR
     handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and
     cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can
     encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call
     finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code.

     The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only
     call finish_open() on freshly created files and use
     finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular
     files via the do_open() safety net.

  Cleanups:

   - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move
     them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the
     early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest
     harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The contents of the
     tests are unchanged and the new emptypath tests are ported on top.

   - Make the LAST_XXX last-type constants private to fs/namei.c. The
     only user outside of fs/namei.c was ksmbd which only needs to know
     whether the last component is a regular one, so
     vfs_path_parent_lookup() now performs the LAST_NORM check
     internally. The ints are replaced with a dedicated enum last_type"

Jori KoolstraandChristian Brauner 0da79c259a vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 << n) for O_ flags
A recent build failure[1] exposed the diffculty of working with the
current octal and hex definitions of O_ flags when trying to find a gap
for a new flag. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that O_ flags
may have architectural specific values.

Replace the hex/octal #defines, which are hard to parse when looking for
free bits, with explicit bit shifts like (1 << 11). Also, add comments
that identify which architectures redefine some of the seemingly free
("cursed") bits in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h. These should not be used to
define new O_ flags (for now, at least).

The translastion was done with Claude Opus 4.8, and verified with a
(non-AI) gawk script. The accounting of which architectures claim
which bit-gaps in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h is also done by hand.

Masami Hiramatsu (Google)andSteven Rostedt a494d3c8d5 ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

   A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
   quote Christoph:

     "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
      now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
      and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
      sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
      sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
      many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
      the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
      code.

      Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
      architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
      Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
      that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
      smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained

      overhead"

Matt TurnerandMagnus Lindholm bd39fc8134 alpha: Define pgprot_modify to silence tautological comparison warnings
Alpha's pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device are
all identity macros, so the generic pgprot_modify() produces
tautological self-comparisons that GCC warns about:

  include/linux/pgtable.h:1701:25: warning: self-comparison always
  evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]

Since all caching attributes are no-ops on Alpha, define
pgprot_modify() to simply return newprot.

Magnus Lindholm 55b22075f7 alpha: add support for SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER
Add SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER support to the Alpha architecture and fix
syscall entry and ptrace issues uncovered by the seccomp-bpf selftests.

The syscall entry path is reworked to consistently track syscall state
using r0, r1 and r2:
  - r1 holds the active syscall number
  - r2 preserves the original syscall number for restart
  - r0 carries the return value, with r19 (a3) indicating success/error

This allows syscall restarts to be permitted only for valid ERESTART*
return codes and prevents kernel-internal restart values from leaking to
userspace. The syscall tracing error marker is corrected to use the saved
syscall number slot, matching the Alpha ABI.

Additionally, implement minimal PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET
support for NT_PRSTATUS, exporting struct pt_regs directly. This fixes
ptrace-based seccomp tests that previously failed with -EIO.

With these changes, seccomp-bpf and ptrace syscall tests pass reliably on
Alpha.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)andAndrew Morton 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 :)

Thomas WeißschuhandLinus Torvalds cd7a5651db alpha: add missing address argument in call to page_table_check_pte_clear()
After the merge of the alpha and mm trees, this code does not compile,
as a parameter is missing in a call to page_table_check_pte_clear().

The parameter was re-added in commit d7b4b67eb6 ("mm/page_table_check:
reinstate address parameter in [__]page_table_check_pte_clear()").
The alpha-specific code was newly added in commit dd5712f337 ("alpha:
fix user-space corruption during memory compaction").

Magnus Lindholm dd5712f337 alpha: fix user-space corruption during memory compaction
Alpha systems can suffer sporadic user-space crashes and heap
corruption when memory compaction is enabled.

Symptoms include SIGSEGV, glibc allocator failures (e.g. "unaligned
tcache chunk"), and compiler internal errors. The failures disappear
when compaction is disabled or when using global TLB invalidation.

The root cause is insufficient TLB shootdown during page migration.
Alpha relies on ASN-based MM context rollover for instruction cache
coherency, but this alone is not sufficient to prevent stale data or
instruction translations from surviving migration.

Fix this by introducing a migration-specific helper that combines:
  - MM context invalidation (ASN rollover),
  - immediate per-CPU TLB invalidation (TBI),
  - synchronous cross-CPU shootdown when required.

The helper is used only by migration/compaction paths to avoid changing
global TLB semantics.

Additionally, update flush_tlb_other(), pte_clear(), to use
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for correct SMP memory ordering.

This fixes observed crashes on both UP and SMP Alpha systems.

David HildenbrandandAndrew Morton 8e38607aa4 treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variant
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.

This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.

The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:

  - clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
  - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.

The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.

The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor.  Where
specific instructions support it (ex.  string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.

For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation.  This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.

Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:

 $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5

                       baseline              +series
                   (GBps +- %stdev)      (GBps +- %stdev)

   pg-sz=2MB       11.76 +- 1.10%        25.34 +- 1.18% [*]   +115.47%  	preempt=*

   pg-sz=1GB       24.85 +- 2.41%        39.22 +- 2.32%       + 57.82%  	preempt=none|voluntary
   pg-sz=1GB         (similar)           52.73 +- 0.20% [#]   +112.19%  	preempt=full|lazy

 [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
  allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.

 [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
  cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
  that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
  ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
  as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
  preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).

  When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
  cachelines on this path almost entirely.

  (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
   preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
   voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
   cond_resched().)

Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.

  $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10

                    base               patched              change
   pg-sz=2MB       12.731939 GB/sec    26.304263 GB/sec     106.6%
   pg-sz=1GB       26.232423 GB/sec    61.174836 GB/sec     133.2%


This patch (of 8):

Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.

We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.

Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage().  And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.

Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation.  There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused.  Not sure what's up with that.
