This supports the same 32-bit MMIO-mapped 8250 as the early_printk code.

x86 boot build: make git ignore stale 'tools' directory
We've had this before: when we remove infrastructure to generate files,
the old stale build artifacts still remain in-tree. And when the
infrastructure to generate them is gone, so is the gitignore file for
those build artifacts.
End result: git will see the old generated files, and people will
mistakenly commit them. That's what happened with the 'genheaders' file
not that long ago (see commit 04a3389b3535 "Remove stale generated
'genheaders' file").
This time it's commit 9c54baab4401 ("x86/boot: Drop CRC-32 checksum and
the build tool that generates it") that removed the 'build' file from
the arch/x86/boot/tools/ subdirectory, and removed the .gitignore file
too (because the whole subdirectory is gone).
And as a result, if you don't do a 'git clean -dqfx' or similar to clean
up your tree, 'git status' will say
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
arch/x86/boot/tools/
and some hapless sleep-deprived developer will inevitably decide that
that means that they need to 'git add' that directory. Which would
bring back some stale generated file that we most definitely do not want
in the tree.
So when removing directories that had special .gitignore patterns, make
sure to add a new gitignore entry in the parent directory for the no
longer existing subdirectory.
It will avoid mistakes.

- The biggest change is the new option to automatically fail the build
on objtool warnings: CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.
While there are no currently known unfixed false positives left, such
an expansion in the severity of objtool warnings inevitably creates a
risk of build failures, so it's disabled by default and depends on
!COMPILE_TEST, so it shouldn't be enabled on
allyesconfig/allmodconfig builds and won't be forced on people who
just accept build-time defaults in 'make oldconfig'.
While the option is strongly recommended, only people who enable it
explicitly should see it.

Pull RCU updates from Boqun Feng:
"Documentation:
- Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst
- Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr()
- Document self-propagating callbacks
- Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering
- Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header
- Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text
- Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives
srcu:
- Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock
at the cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu()
Moreover, by returning the percpu offset of the counter at
srcu_read_lock_fast() time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can avoid
extra pointer dereferencing, which makes it faster than
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite()
srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible
RCU torture:
- Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test
- Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying
boosting tests when building rcutorture as built-in
- Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end
of failure/close-call results
- Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence
number in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point
- Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length
- Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool
- Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified
- Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
for SRCU lockdep testing
Misc:
- Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing
- Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes()
- Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection

Refactor the #ifdef guards so that the simple implementation is also

Remove the need for RCU to recognize fake callback function pointers
(__is_kvfree_rcu_offset()) when handling call_rcu() by implementing a
callback that calculates the object's address from the embedded
rcu_head address without knowing its offset.
- Improve kmalloc cache randomization in kvmalloc (GONG Ruiqi)
Due to an extra layer of function call, all kvmalloc() allocations
used the same set of random caches. Thanks to moving the kvmalloc()
implementation to slub.c, this is improved and randomization now
works for kvmalloc.

Pull vfs file handling updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains performance improvements for struct file's new refcount
mechanism and various other performance work:
- The stock kernel transitioning the file to no refs held penalizes
the caller with an extra atomic to block any increments. For cases
where the file is highly likely to be going away this is easily
avoidable.
Add file_ref_put_close() to better handle the common case where
closing a file descriptor also operates on the last reference and
build fput_close_sync() and fput_close() on top of it. This brings

Pull vfs mount namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This expands the ability of anonymous mount namespaces:
- Creating detached mounts from detached mounts
Currently, detached mounts can only be created from attached
mounts. This limitaton prevents various use-cases. For example, the
ability to mount a subdirectory without ever having to make the
whole filesystem visible first.
The current permission modelis:
(1) Check that the caller is privileged over the owning user
namespace of it's current mount namespace.
(2) Check that the caller is located in the mount namespace of the
mount it wants to create a detached copy of.
While it is not strictly necessary to do it this way it is
consistently applied in the new mount api. This model will also be
used when allowing the creation of detached mount from another
detached mount.
The (1) requirement can simply be met by performing the same check
as for the non-detached case, i.e., verify that the caller is
privileged over its current mount namespace.
To meet the (2) requirement it must be possible to infer the origin
mount namespace that the anonymous mount namespace of the detached
mount was created from.
The origin mount namespace of an anonymous mount is the mount
namespace that the mounts that were copied into the anonymous mount
namespace originate from.
In order to check the origin mount namespace of an anonymous mount
namespace the sequence number of the original mount namespace is
recorded in the anonymous mount namespace.
With this in place it is possible to perform an equivalent check
(2') to (2). The origin mount namespace of the anonymous mount
namespace must be the same as the caller's mount namespace. To
establish this the sequence number of the caller's mount namespace
and the origin sequence number of the anonymous mount namespace are
compared.
The caller is always located in a non-anonymous mount namespace
since anonymous mount namespaces cannot be setns()ed into. The
caller's mount namespace will thus always have a valid sequence
number.
The owning namespace of any mount namespace, anonymous or
non-anonymous, can never change. A mount attached to a
non-anonymous mount namespace can never change mount namespace.
If the sequence number of the non-anonymous mount namespace and the
origin sequence number of the anonymous mount namespace match, the
owning namespaces must match as well.
Hence, the capability check on the owning namespace of the caller's
mount namespace ensures that the caller has the ability to copy the
mount tree.
- Allow mount detached mounts on detached mounts
Currently, detached mounts can only be mounted onto attached
mounts. This limitation makes it impossible to assemble a new
private rootfs and move it into place. Instead, a detached tree
must be created, attached, then mounted open and then either moved
or detached again. Lift this restriction.
In order to allow mounting detached mounts onto other detached
mounts the same permission model used for creating detached mounts
from detached mounts can be used (cf. above).
Allowing to mount detached mounts onto detached mounts leaves three
cases to consider:
(1) The source mount is an attached mount and the target mount is
a detached mount. This would be equivalent to moving a mount
between different mount namespaces. A caller could move an
attached mount to a detached mount. The detached mount can now
be freely attached to any mount namespace. This changes the
current delegatioh model significantly for no good reason. So
this will fail.
(2) Anonymous mount namespaces are always attached fully, i.e., it
is not possible to only attach a subtree of an anoymous mount
namespace. This simplifies the implementation and reasoning.
Consequently, if the anonymous mount namespace of the source
detached mount and the target detached mount are the identical
the mount request will fail.
(3) The source mount's anonymous mount namespace is different from
the target mount's anonymous mount namespace.
In this case the source anonymous mount namespace of the
source mount tree must be freed after its mounts have been
moved to the target anonymous mount namespace. The source
anonymous mount namespace must be empty afterwards.
By allowing to mount detached mounts onto detached mounts a caller
may do the following:
This will cause the detached mount referred to by fd_tree1 to be
mounted on top of the detached mount referred to by fd_tree2.
Thus, the detached mount fd_tree1 is moved from its separate
anonymous mount namespace into fd_tree2's anonymous mount
namespace.
It also means that while fd_tree2 continues to refer to the root of
its respective anonymous mount namespace fd_tree1 doesn't anymore.
This has the consequence that only fd_tree2 can be moved to another
anonymous or non-anonymous mount namespace. Moving fd_tree1 will
now fail as fd_tree1 doesn't refer to the root of an anoymous mount
namespace anymore.
Now fd_tree1 and fd_tree2 refer to separate detached mount trees
referring to the same anonymous mount namespace.
This is conceptually fine. The new mount api does allow for this to
happen already via:
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/A
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt/A
Both fd_tree3 and fd_tree4 refer to two different detached mount
trees but both detached mount trees refer to the same anonymous
mount namespace. An as with fd_tree1 and fd_tree2, only fd_tree3
may be moved another mount namespace as fd_tree3 refers to the root
of the anonymous mount namespace just while fd_tree4 doesn't.
However, there's an important difference between the
fd_tree3/fd_tree4 and the fd_tree1/fd_tree2 example.
Closing fd_tree4 and releasing the respective struct file will have
no further effect on fd_tree3's detached mount tree.
However, closing fd_tree3 will cause the mount tree and the
respective anonymous mount namespace to be destroyed causing the
detached mount tree of fd_tree4 to be invalid for further mounting.
By allowing to mount detached mounts on detached mounts as in the
fd_tree1/fd_tree2 example both struct files will affect each other.
Both fd_tree1 and fd_tree2 refer to struct files that have
FMODE_NEED_UNMOUNT set.
To handle this we use the fact that @fd_tree1 will have a parent
mount once it has been attached to @fd_tree2.
When dissolve_on_fput() is called the mount that has been passed in
will refer to the root of the anonymous mount namespace. If it
doesn't it would mean that mounts are leaked. So before allowing to
mount detached mounts onto detached mounts this would be a bug.
Now that detached mounts can be mounted onto detached mounts it
just means that the mount has been attached to another anonymous
mount namespace and thus dissolve_on_fput() must not unmount the
mount tree or free the anonymous mount namespace as the file
referring to the root of the namespace hasn't been closed yet.
If it had been closed yet it would be obvious because the mount
namespace would be NULL, i.e., the @fd_tree1 would have already
been unmounted. If @fd_tree1 hasn't been unmounted yet and has a
parent mount it is safe to skip any cleanup as closing @fd_tree2
will take care of all cleanup operations.
- Allow mount propagation for detached mount trees
In commit ee2e3f50629f ("mount: fix mounting of detached mounts
onto targets that reside on shared mounts") I fixed a bug where
propagating the source mount tree of an anonymous mount namespace
into a target mount tree of a non-anonymous mount namespace could
be used to trigger an integer overflow in the non-anonymous mount
namespace causing any new mounts to fail.
The cause of this was that the propagation algorithm was unable to
recognize mounts from the source mount tree that were already
propagated into the target mount tree and then reappeared as
propagation targets when walking the destination propagation mount
tree.
When fixing this I disabled mount propagation into anonymous mount
namespaces. Make it possible for anonymous mount namespace to
receive mount propagation events correctly. This is now also a
correctness issue now that we allow mounting detached mount trees
onto detached mount trees.
Mark the source anonymous mount namespace with MNTNS_PROPAGATING
indicating that all mounts belonging to this mount namespace are
currently in the process of being propagated and make the
propagation algorithm discard those if they appear as propagation
targets"

Pull vfs pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
- Allow retrieving exit information after a process has been reaped
through pidfds via the new PIDFD_INTO_EXIT extension for the
PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl. Various tools need access to information about
a process/task even after it has already been reaped.
Pidfd polling allows waiting on either task exit or for a task to
have been reaped. The contract for PIDFD_INFO_EXIT is simply that
EPOLLHUP must be observed before exit information can be retrieved,
i.e., exit information is only provided once the task has been reaped
and then can be retrieved as long as the pidfd is open.
- Add PIDFD_SELF_{THREAD,THREAD_GROUP} sentinels allowing userspace to
forgo allocating a file descriptor for their own process. This is
useful in scenarios where users want to act on their own process
through pidfds and is akin to AT_FDCWD.
- Improve premature thread-group leader and subthread exec behavior
when polling on pidfds:
(1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e.,
non-thread-group leader thread, all other threads in the
thread-group including the thread-group leader are killed and the
struct pid of the thread-group leader will be taken over by the
subthread that called exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs.
(2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group
leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the
thread-group have exited.
Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with
PIDFD_THREAD. Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the
current thread-group leader may or may not see an exit notification
on the file descriptor depending on when poll is performed. If the
poll is performed before the exec of the subthread has concluded an
exit notification is generated for the old thread-group leader. If
the poll is performed after the exec of the subthread has concluded
no exit notification is generated for the old thread-group leader.
The correct behavior is to simply not generate an exit notification
on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct pid is
taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive.
But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit
premature as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is
reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an
indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point.
After this pull no exit notifications will be generated for a
PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a thread-group leader until all subthreads
have been reaped. If a subthread should exec before no exit
notification will be generated until that task exits or it creates
subthreads and repeates the cycle.
This means an exit notification indicates the ability for the father
to reap the child.

mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().
- Allow superblock owners to force unmount

keys: Fix UAF in key_put()
Once a key's reference count has been reduced to 0, the garbage collector
thread may destroy it at any time and so key_put() is not allowed to touch
the key after that point. The most key_put() is normally allowed to do is
to touch key_gc_work as that's a static global variable.
However, in an effort to speed up the reclamation of quota, this is now
done in key_put() once the key's usage is reduced to 0 - but now the code
is looking at the key after the deadline, which is forbidden.
Fix this by using a flag to indicate that a key can be gc'd now rather than
looking at the key's refcount in the garbage collector.

perf/amd/ibs: Prevent leaking sensitive data to userspace
Although IBS "swfilt" can prevent leaking samples with kernel RIP to the
userspace, there are few subtle cases where a 'data' address and/or a
'branch target' address can fall under kernel address range although RIP
is from userspace. Prevent leaking kernel 'data' addresses by discarding
such samples when {exclude_kernel=1,swfilt=1}.
IBS can now be invoked by unprivileged user with the introduction of
"swfilt". However, this creates a loophole in the interface where an
unprivileged user can get physical address of the userspace virtual
addresses through IBS register raw dump (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). Prevent this
as well.

x86/asm: Make asm export of __ref_stack_chk_guard unconditional
Clang does not tolerate the use of non-TLS symbols for the per-CPU stack
protector very well, and to work around this limitation, the symbol
passed via the -mstack-protector-guard-symbol= option is never defined
in C code, but only in the linker script, and it is exported from an
assembly file. This is necessary because Clang will fail to generate the
correct %GS based references in a compilation unit that includes a
non-TLS definition of the guard symbol being used to store the stack
cookie.
This problem is only triggered by symbol definitions, not by
declarations, but nonetheless, the declaration in <asm/asm-prototypes.h>
is conditional on __GENKSYMS__ being #define'd, so that only genksyms
will observe it, but for ordinary compilation, it will be invisible.
This is causing problems with the genksyms alternative gendwarfksyms,
which does not #define __GENKSYMS__, does not observe the symbol
declaration, and therefore lacks the information it needs to version it.
Adding the #define creates problems in other places, so that is not a
straight-forward solution. So take the easy way out, and drop the
conditional on __GENKSYMS__, as this is not really needed to begin with.

MAINTAINERS: Add Andrea Mayer as a maintainer of SRv6
Andrea has made significant contributions to SRv6 support in Linux.
Acknowledge the work and on-going interest in Srv6 support with a
maintainers entry for these files so hopefully he is included
on patches going forward.
Following Paolo's suggestion, let's revert the IPv6 link-local address
generation fix for GRE devices. The patch introduced regressions in the
upstream CI, which are still under investigation.
Start by reverting the kselftest that depend on that fix (patch 1), then
revert the kernel code itself (patch 2).
====================
This patch broke net/forwarding/ip6gre_custom_multipath_hash.sh in some
circumstances (https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/Z9RIyKZDNoka53EO@mini-arch/).
Let's revert it while the problem is being investigated.
1) Fix tunnel mode TX datapath in packet offload mode
by directly putting it to the xmit path.
From Alexandre Cassen.
2) Force software GSO only in tunnel mode in favor
of potential HW GSO. From Cosmin Ratiu.

Merge patch series "pidfs: handle multi-threaded exec and premature thread-group leader exit"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
This is another attempt at trying to make pidfd polling for
multi-threaded exec and premature thread-group leader exit consistent.
A quick recap of these two cases:
(1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e., non-thread-group
leader thread, all other threads in the thread-group including the
thread-group leader are killed and the struct pid of the
thread-group leader will be taken over by the subthread that called
exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs.
(2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group
leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the thread-group
have exited.
Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with PIDFD_THREAD.
Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the current thread-group
leader may or may not see an exit notification on the file descriptor
depending on when poll is performed. If the poll is performed before the
exec of the subthread has concluded an exit notification is generated
for the old thread-group leader. If the poll is performed after the exec
of the subthread has concluded no exit notification is generated for the
old thread-group leader.
The correct behavior would be to simply not generate an exit
notification on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct
pid is taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive.
But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit
premature as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is
reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an
indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point.
This tiny series tries to address this problem. If that works correctly
then no exit notifications are generated for a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a
thread-group leader until all subthreads have been reaped. If a
subthread should exec before no exit notification will be generated
until that task exits or it creates subthreads and repeates the cycle.

So far there was no way to distinguish between (1) and (2) internally.

PIDFD_THREAD notification on premature thread-group leader exit.
If that works correctly then no exit notifications are generated for a
PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a thread-group leader until all subthreads have

will be generated until that task exits or it creates subthreads and
