Nathan Chancellor 7a618ca9b9 init/Kconfig: Require a release version of clang-22 for CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY_PTR
Commit 150a04d817 ("compiler_types.h: Attributes: Add __counted_by_ptr
macro") used Clang 22.0.0 as a minimum supported version for
__counted_by_ptr, which made sense while 22.0.0 was the version of
LLVM's main branch to allow developers to easily test and develop uses
of __counted_by_ptr in their code. However, __counted_by_ptr requires a
change [1] merged towards the end of the 22 development cycle to avoid
errors when applied to void pointers.

  In file included from fs/xfs/xfs_attr_inactive.c:18:
  fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.h:59:2: error: 'counted_by' cannot be applied to a pointer with pointee of unknown size because 'void' is an incomplete type
     59 |         void                    *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bufsize);
        |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is disruptive for deployed prerelease clang-22 builds (such as
Android LLVM) or when bisecting between llvmorg-21-init and the fix.

Require a released version of clang-22 (i.e., 21.1.0 or newer) to
enabled __counted_by_ptr to ensure all fixes needed for proper support
are present.

Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - Fix a typo in the mock_file help text

 - Fix a comment regarding IORING_SETUP_TASKRUN_FLAG in the
   io_uring.h UAPI header

 - Use READ_ONCE() for reading refill queue entries

 - Reject SEND_VECTORIZED for fixed buffer sends, as it isn't
   implemented. Currently this flag is silently ignored

   This is in preparation for making these work, but first we
   need a fixup so that older kernels will correctly reject them

Nathan Chancellor f709859f33 init/Kconfig: Adjust fixed clang version for __builtin_counted_by_ref
Commit d39a1d7486 ("compiler_types: Disable __builtin_counted_by_ref
for Clang") used 22.0.0 as the fixed version for a compiler crash but
the fix was only merged in main (23.0.0) and release/22.x (22.1.0). With
the current fixed version number, prerelease or Android LLVM 22 builds
will still be able to hit the compiler crash when building the kernel.
This can be particularly disruptive when bisecting LLVM.

Use 21.1.0 as the fixed version number to ensure the fix for this crash
is always present.

Linus Torvalds 323bbfcf1e Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

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 *".

Kees Cook d39a1d7486 compiler_types: Disable __builtin_counted_by_ref for Clang
Unfortunately, there is a corner case of __builtin_counted_by_ref()
usage that crashes[1] Clang since support was introduced in Clang 19.
Disable it prior to Clang 22. Found while tested kmalloc_obj treewide
refactoring (via kmalloc_flex() usage).

 "Scheduler Kconfig space updates:

   - Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)

     Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
     PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
     preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
     up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
     x86).

     None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
     platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
     even support preemption.

     The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
     preemption altogether.

  RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
  and Peter Zijlstra):

  This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
  a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
  is scheduled out inside of the critical section.

   - Add fields and constants for time slice extension
   - Provide static branch for time slice extensions
   - Add statistics for time slice extensions
   - Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
   - Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
   - Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
   - Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
   - Reset slice extension when scheduled

   - Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)

   - Cleanups (Yury Norov):
      - Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
      - Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
      - Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()

  Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)

  This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-

    - Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
    - Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
    - Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
    - Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()

   - Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
   - Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
            rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
   - <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper

  Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):

   - Fold the sched_avg update
   - Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
   - Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
   - Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
   - Limit hrtick work

Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "x86 PMU driver updates:

   - Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
     (Dapeng Mi)

     Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
     a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:

      - Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
        Off-Core Response (OCR) facility

      - New PEBS data source encoding layout

      - Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature

   - Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
     Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)

     This centers around these four main areas:

      - DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
        separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
        die has its own discovery domain.

      - Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
        portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
        discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.

      - DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
        PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.

      - IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.

   - Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
     and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
     (Zide Chen)

   - KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
     Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
     Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)

   - Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs,
     which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)

   - Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
     (aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
     Airmont code (Martin Schiller)

  Performance enhancements:

   - Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls
     (Jan H. Schönherr)

   - Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)

  User-space stack unwinding support:

   - Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the
     unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus)

  Uprobes updates:

   - Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)

   - Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)

   - Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)

  Misc fixes and cleanups:

   - s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)

   - x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)

   - x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the
  preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask)
  against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug
  events.

  One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
  partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
  kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
  non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
  the way.

  Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
  the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
  affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset
  isolated partitions.

  The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
  kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
  suggestion.

  As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
  from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset
  isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a
  specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making
  nohz_full= also mutable through cpuset in the future"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
  fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.

  Scalability and performance:

   - Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
     twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
     throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
     namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing

   - Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
     reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
     open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
     open-in-a-loop benchmarks

   - Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
     store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
     some architectures

   - Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
     false-sharing

   - Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
     __follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
     verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch

   - Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
     that became wrong after a prior code reorder

  Bug fixes and correctness:

   - Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
     skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
     exist in the hash

   - Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
     to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract

   - Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
     no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
     AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists

   - Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
     truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures

   - Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
     and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern

  API modernization:

   - Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
     every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
     unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems

   - Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
     ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
     boot parameters, adding proper error handling

   - Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
     patterns

   - Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
     truncating unsigned long to unsigned int

   - Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
     already check the flag

  Deprecation:

   - Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
     interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
     (eBPF)

  Documentation:

   - Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
     duplicated documentation between ReST and source

   - Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()

  Testing:

Pull vfs nullfs update from Christian Brauner:
 "Add a completely catatonic minimal pseudo filesystem called "nullfs"
  and make pivot_root() work in the initramfs.

  Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it
  cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to recursively delete initramfs
  contents manually before continuing boot, using the fragile
  switch_root sequence (overmount + chroot).

  Add nullfs, a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true
  root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is
  mounted on top of it. This allows userspace to simply:

      chdir(new_root);
      pivot_root(".", ".");
      umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);

  without the traditional switch_root workarounds. systemd already
  handles this correctly. It tries pivot_root() first and falls back
  to MS_MOVE only when that fails.

  This also means rootfs mounts in unprivileged namespaces no longer
  need MNT_LOCKED, since the immutable nullfs guarantees nothing can be
  revealed by unmounting the covering mount.

  nullfs is a single-instance filesystem (get_tree_single()) marked
  SB_NOUSER | SB_I_NOEXEC | SB_I_NODEV with an immutable empty root
  directory. This means sooner or later it can be used to overmount
  other directories to hide their contents without any additional
  protection needed.

  We enable it unconditionally. If we see any real regression we'll
  hide it behind a boot option.

  nullfs has extensions beyond this in the future. It will serve as a
  concept to support the creation of completely empty mount namespaces -
  which is work coming up in the next cycle"

Pull vfs initrd removal from Christian Brauner:
 "Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead
  code. The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series
  completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert.

  The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the
  entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and
  handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load()
  becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()),
  rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of
  taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted.

  The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are
  removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real
  root device back to the kernel.

  The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped,
  and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings.

Frederic Weisbecker 23f09dcc0a cpuset: Propagate cpuset isolation update to workqueue through housekeeping
Until now, cpuset would propagate isolated partition changes to
workqueues so that unbound workers get properly reaffined.

Since housekeeping now centralizes, synchronize and propagates isolation
cpumask changes, perform the work from that subsystem for consolidation
and consistency purposes.

For simplification purpose, the target function is adapted to take the
new housekeeping mask instead of the isolated mask.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) d49004c5f0 arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture
calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone
limits.

Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between
allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map.  Some
architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain
cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes
hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().

With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it
is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup
code.  Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a
single place.

This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and
initialization.

Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and
place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately
after setup_arch().

After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations
and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map
initialization among different architectures.

As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to
mm_core_early_init().

Sun Jian 499f86de4f init/main: read bootconfig header with get_unaligned_le32()
get_boot_config_from_initrd() scans up to 3 bytes before initrd_end to
handle GRUB 4-byte alignment.  As a result, the bootconfig header
immediately preceding the magic may be unaligned.

Read the size and checksum fields with get_unaligned_le32() instead of
casting to u32 * and using le32_to_cpu(), avoiding potential unaligned
access and silencing sparse "cast to restricted __le32" warnings.

Sparse warnings (gcc + C=1):
  init/main.c:292:16: warning: cast to restricted __le32
  init/main.c:293:16: warning: cast to restricted __le32

No functional change intended.

Lillian Berry a906f3ae44 init/main.c: check if rdinit was explicitly set before printing warning
The rdinit parameter is set by default, and attempted during boot even if
not specified in the command line.  Only print the warning about rdinit
being inaccessible if the rdinit value was found in command line; it's
just noise otherwise.
