Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout
the stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower
iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from
getting split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop
the user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called
from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)
- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.
- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events
- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements
- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling
of TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.
- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

The CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES option is enabled by CONFIG_FUTEX and CONFIG_I2C.
If both are disabled then a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT build fails to compile.
It is not possible to have a PREEMPT_RT kernel without RT_MUTEX support
because RT_MUTEX based locking is always used.
Enable CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES by default on PREEMPT_RT builds.

There are a few different places where pahole's version is turned into a
three digit form with the exact same command. Move this command into
scripts/pahole-version.sh to reduce the amount of duplication across the

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The biggest change here is in-kernel support for module decompression.
This change is being made to help support LSMs like LoadPin as
otherwise it loses link between the source of kernel module on the
disk and binary blob that is being loaded into the kernel.
kmod decompression is still done by userspace even with this is done,
both because there are no measurable gains in not doing so and as it
adds a secondary extra check for validating the module before loading
it into the kernel.
The rest of the changes are minor, the only other change worth
mentionin there is Jessica Yu is now bowing out of maintenance of
modules as she's taking a break from work.
While there were other changes posted for modules, those have not yet
received much review of testing so I'm not yet comfortable in merging
any of those changes yet."

Current scheme of having userspace decompress kernel modules before
loading them into the kernel runs afoul of LoadPin security policy, as
it loses link between the source of kernel module on the disk and binary
blob that is being loaded into the kernel. To solve this issue let's
implement decompression in kernel, so that we can pass a file descriptor
of compressed module file into finit_module() which will keep LoadPin
happy.
To let userspace know what compression/decompression scheme kernel
supports it will create /sys/module/compression attribute. kmod can read
this attribute and decide if it can pass compressed file to
finit_module(). New MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_DATA flag indicates that the
kernel should attempt to decompress the data read from file descriptor
prior to trying load the module.
To simplify things kernel will only implement single decompression
method matching compression method selected when generating modules.
This patch implements gzip and xz; more can be added later,

The boot-time detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() has a bug on
some 32-bit arm builds, and Thomas Gleixner suggested that setting
CONFIG_HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG would avoid the problem, as it is always present
anyway.
Looking into which other architectures could do the same showed that almost
all architectures have it, the exceptions being:
- some old 32-bit MIPS uniprocessor cores without ll/sc
- one xtensa variant with no SMP
- 32-bit SPARC when built for SMP
Fix MIPS And Xtensa by rearranging the generic code to let it be used
as a fallback.
For SPARC, the SMP definition just ends up turning off futex anyway, so
this can be done at Kconfig time instead. Note that sparc32 glibc requires
the CASA instruction for its mutexes anyway, which is only available when
running on SPARCv9 or LEON CPUs, but needs to be implemented in the sparc32
kernel for those.

Introduce GUEST_PERF_EVENTS and require architectures to select it to

make it more difficult for new architectures to add useless "support" for

Memory allocators may disable interrupts or preemption as part of the
allocation and freeing process. For PREEMPT_RT it is important that
these sections remain deterministic and short and therefore don't depend
on the size of the memory to allocate/ free or the inner state of the
algorithm.
Until v3.12-RT the SLAB allocator was an option but involved several
changes to meet all the requirements. The SLUB design fits better with
PREEMPT_RT model and so the SLAB patches were dropped in the 3.12-RT
patchset. Comparing the two allocator, SLUB outperformed SLAB in both
throughput (time needed to allocate and free memory) and the maximal
latency of the system measured with cyclictest during hackbench.
SLOB was never evaluated since it was unlikely that it preforms better
than SLAB. During a quick test, the kernel crashed with SLOB enabled
during boot.
Disable SLAB and SLOB on PREEMPT_RT.

TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE:
There are potential non-deterministic delays to an RT thread if a
critical memory region is not THP-aligned and a non-RT buffer is
located in the same hugepage-aligned region. It's also possible for an
unrelated thread to migrate pages belonging to an RT task incurring
unexpected page faults due to memory defragmentation even if
khugepaged is disabled.
Regular HUGEPAGEs are not affected by this can be used.
NUMA_BALANCING:
There is a non-deterministic delay to mark PTEs PROT_NONE to gather
NUMA fault samples, increased page faults of regions even if mlocked
and non-deterministic delays when migrating pages.

The cross-product of the kernel's supported toolchains, architectures,
and configuration options is large. So large, that it's generally
accepted to be infeasible to enumerate and build+test them all
(many compile-testers rely on randomly generated configs).
Without the possibility to enumerate all possible combinations of
toolchains, architectures, and configuration options, it is inevitable
that compiler warnings in this space exist.
With -Werror, this means that an innumerable set of kernels are now
broken, yet had been perfectly usable before (confused compilers, code
with warnings unused, or luck).
Distributors will necessarily pick a point in the toolchain X arch X
config space, and if unlucky, will have a broken build. Granted, those
will likely disable CONFIG_WERROR and move on.
The kernel's default configuration is unlikely to be suitable for all
users, but it's inappropriate to force many users to set CONFIG_WERROR=n.
This also holds for CI systems which are focused on runtime testing,
where the odd warning in some subsystem will disrupt testing of the rest
of the kernel. Many of those runtime-focused CI systems run tests or
fuzz the kernel using runtime debugging tools. Runtime testing of
different subsystems can proceed in parallel, and potentially uncover
serious bugs; halting runtime testing of the entire kernel because of
the odd warning (now error) in a subsystem or driver is simply
inappropriate.
Therefore, runtime-focused CI systems will likely choose CONFIG_WERROR=n
as well.
The appropriate usecase for -Werror is therefore compile-test focused
builds (often done by developers or CI systems).
Reflect this in the Kconfig option by making the default value of WERROR
match COMPILE_TEST.

... but make it a config option so that broken environments can disable
it when required.
We really should always have a clean build, and will disable specific
over-eager warnings as required, if we can't fix them. But while I
fairly religiously enforce that in my own tree, it doesn't get enforced
by various build robots that don't necessarily report warnings.
So this just makes '-Werror' a default compiler flag, but allows people
to disable it for their configuration if they have some particular
issues.
Occasionally, new compiler versions end up enabling new warnings, and it
can take a while before we have them fixed (or the warnings disabled if
that is what it takes), so the config option allows for that situation.
Hopefully this will mean that I get fewer pull requests that have new
warnings that were not noticed by various automation we have in place.
Knock wood.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Optionally, provide an index of possible printk messages via
<debugfs>/printk/index/. It can be used when monitoring important
kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be
updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by
a newly deployed kernel.
- Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to
generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time
frame.
- Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly
to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it
allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin
lock.
- Misc clean up and build fixes.

All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the
message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI
context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough.
There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into
the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk
deferred printing:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c
arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c
kernel/trace/trace.c
For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new
function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the
same objective.
For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was
added in commit 03fc7f9c99 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when
accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce
storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context.
It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context.
There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are
always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled
transparently in vprintk().

We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their
functionality that works as follows:
1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole;
2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message;
3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a
remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat.
As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside
Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this
inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part
of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine
fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important
that we get them right.
While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics
with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order
to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface
which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk.
Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such
usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or
other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We
have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in
production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and
where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind
of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential.
As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a
number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear
entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change
in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to
silently fail.
One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation,
many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there
may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever
happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This
precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question
was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the
message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate
that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its
future presence in the long-term.
This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing
unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for
longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around
blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to
remain in production for longer than would be desirable.
Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely
fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond
their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers,
each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the
format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics
of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our
previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as
much.
This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted
printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at
compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and
modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at
<debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both
readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines:
$ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux
# <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format"
<5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n"
<4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n"
<6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n"
<6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n"
<6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n"
This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific
printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check
whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely
in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor
earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic.
There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself,
and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

This reverts commit 788691464c.
It's not clear why, but it causes unexplained problems in entirely
unrelated xfs code. The most likely explanation is some slab
corruption, possibly triggered due to CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. See [1].
It ends up having a few other problems too, like build errors on
arch/arc, and Geert reporting it using much more memory on m68k [3] (it
probably does so elsewhere too, but it is probably just more noticeable
on m68k).
The architecture issues (both build and memory use) are likely just
because this change effectively force-enabled STACKDEPOT (along with a
very bad default value for the stackdepot hash size). But together with
the xfs issue, this all smells like "this commit was not ready" to me.

Many stack traces are similar so there are many similar arrays.
Stackdepot saves each unique stack only once.
Replace field addrs in struct track with depot_stack_handle_t handle. Use
stackdepot to save stack trace.
The benefits are smaller memory overhead and possibility to aggregate
per-cache statistics in the future using the stackdepot handle instead of
matching stacks manually.

locations mainly due to historic reasons. Moving forward, lets add a proper
subsystem entry under ...
General setup --->
BPF subsystem --->
... in order to have all knobs in a single location and thus ease BPF related
configuration. Networking related bits such as sockmap are out of scope for
the general setup and therefore better suited to remain in net/Kconfig.

Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[]
string. This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus
effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace
writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface. [1]
When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal
to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed
the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such
request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is
a waste of time.
This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which
made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to
make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before
attempting to invoke the userspace helper. By eliminating all such
(known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and
the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer.
For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined
lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the
initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices
get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting
reset.
[1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when
modprobe_path is the empty string.

Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling", v9.
Overview
========
This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_HUGETLBFS.
When enabled (via the UFFDIO_API ioctl), this feature means that any
hugetlbfs VMAs registered with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING will *also*
get events for "minor" faults. By "minor" fault, I mean the following
situation:
Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s) (shared
memory). One of the mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor
mode), and the other is not. Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying
pages have already been allocated & filled with some contents. The UFFD
mapping has not yet been faulted in; when it is touched for the first
time, this results in what I'm calling a "minor" fault. As a concrete
example, when working with hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but
find_lock_page() finds an existing page.
We also add a new ioctl to resolve such faults: UFFDIO_CONTINUE. The idea
is, userspace resolves the fault by either a) doing nothing if the
contents are already correct, or b) updating the underlying contents using
the second, non-UFFD mapping (via memcpy/memset or similar, or something
fancier like RDMA, or etc...). In either case, userspace issues
UFFDIO_CONTINUE to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents are
correct, carry on setting up the mapping".
Use Case
========
Consider the use case of VM live migration (e.g. under QEMU/KVM):
1. While a VM is still running, we copy the contents of its memory to a
target machine. The pages are populated on the target by writing to the
non-UFFD mapping, using the setup described above. The VM is still running
(and therefore its memory is likely changing), so this may be repeated
several times, until we decide the target is "up to date enough".
2. We pause the VM on the source, and start executing on the target machine.
During this gap, the VM's user(s) will *see* a pause, so it is desirable to
minimize this window.
3. Between the last time any page was copied from the source to the target, and
when the VM was paused, the contents of that page may have changed - and
therefore the copy we have on the target machine is out of date. Although we
can keep track of which pages are out of date, for VMs with large amounts of
memory, it is "slow" to transfer this information to the target machine. We
want to resume execution before such a transfer would complete.
4. So, the guest begins executing on the target machine. The first time it
touches its memory (via the UFFD-registered mapping), userspace wants to
intercept this fault. Userspace checks whether or not the page is up to date,
and if not, copies the updated page from the source machine, via the non-UFFD
mapping. Finally, whether a copy was performed or not, userspace issues a
UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents
are correct, carry on setting up the mapping".
We don't have to do all of the final updates on-demand. The userfaultfd manager
can, in the background, also copy over updated pages once it receives the map of
which pages are up-to-date or not.
Interaction with Existing APIs
==============================
Because this is a feature, a registered VMA could potentially receive both
missing and minor faults. I spent some time thinking through how the
existing API interacts with the new feature:
UFFDIO_CONTINUE cannot be used to resolve non-minor faults, as it does not
allocate a new page. If UFFDIO_CONTINUE is used on a non-minor fault:
- For non-shared memory or shmem, -EINVAL is returned.
- For hugetlb, -EFAULT is returned.
UFFDIO_COPY and UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE cannot be used to resolve minor faults.
Without modifications, the existing codepath assumes a new page needs to
be allocated. This is okay, since userspace must have a second
non-UFFD-registered mapping anyway, thus there isn't much reason to want
to use these in any case (just memcpy or memset or similar).
- If UFFDIO_COPY is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned.
- If UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned (or -EINVAL
in the case of hugetlb, as UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is unsupported in any case).
- UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT simply doesn't work with shared memory, and returns
-ENOENT in that case (regardless of the kind of fault).
Future Work
===========
This series only supports hugetlbfs. I have a second series in flight to
support shmem as well, extending the functionality. This series is more
mature than the shmem support at this point, and the functionality works
fully on hugetlbfs, so this series can be merged first and then shmem
support will follow.
This patch (of 6):
This feature allows userspace to intercept "minor" faults. By "minor"
faults, I mean the following situation:
Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s). One of the
mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor mode), and the other is
not. Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying pages have already been
allocated & filled with some contents. The UFFD mapping has not yet been
faulted in; when it is touched for the first time, this results in what
I'm calling a "minor" fault. As a concrete example, when working with
hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() finds an existing
page.
This commit adds the new registration mode, and sets the relevant flag on
the VMAs being registered. In the hugetlb fault path, if we find that we
have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() does indeed find an existing
page, then we have a "minor" fault, and if the VMA has the userfaultfd
registration flag, we call into userfaultfd to handle it.
This is implemented as a new registration mode, instead of an API feature.
This is because the alternative implementation has significant drawbacks
[1].
However, doing it this was requires we allocate a VM_* flag for the new
registration mode. On 32-bit systems, there are no unused bits, so this
feature is only supported on architectures with
CONFIG_ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS. When attempting to register a VMA in
MINOR mode on 32-bit architectures, we return -EINVAL.

need to store per-task state in hash maps, and allow tracing
programs access to task local storage previously added for
BPF_LSM

walk all map elements in a more robust and easier to verify
fashion
- sockmap: support UDP and cross-protocol BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT
redirection

- ipv6: segment routing: add support for IPv4 decapsulation
- icmp: add support for RFC 8335 extended PROBE messages
- inet: use bigger hash table for IP ID generation

- add sockopt support for common TCP options
- add support for common TCP msg flags
- include multiple address ids in RM_ADDR

retpoline overhead on VLAN and TEB GRO
- use less memory for sysctls, add a new sysctl type, to allow using
u8 instead of "int" and "long" and shrink networking sysctls
- veth: allow GRO without XDP - this allows aggregating UDP
packets before handing them off to routing, bridge, OvS, etc.
- allow specifing ifindex when device is moved to another namespace
- netfilter:
- nft_socket: add support for cgroupsv2
- nftables: add catch-all set element - special element used
to define a default action in case normal lookup missed

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"The only notable change is Vipin's new misc cgroup controller.
This implements generic support for resources which can be controlled
by simply counting and limiting the number of resource instances - ie
there's X number of these on the system and this cgroup subtree can
have upto Y of those.
The first user is the address space IDs used for virtual machine
memory encryption and expected future usages are similar - niche
hardware features with concrete resource limits and simple usage
models"

BPF has three formatted output helpers: bpf_trace_printk, bpf_seq_printf
and bpf_snprintf. Their signatures specify that all arguments are
provided from the BPF world as u64s (in an array or as registers). All
of these helpers are currently implemented by calling functions such as
snprintf() whose signatures take a variable number of arguments, then
placed in a va_list by the compiler to call vsnprintf().
"d9c9e4db bpf: Factorize bpf_trace_printk and bpf_seq_printf" introduced
a bpf_printf_prepare function that fills an array of u64 sanitized
arguments with an array of "modifiers" which indicate what the "real"
size of each argument should be (given by the format specifier). The
BPF_CAST_FMT_ARG macro consumes these arrays and casts each argument to
its real size. However, the C promotion rules implicitely cast them all
back to u64s. Therefore, the arguments given to snprintf are u64s and
the va_list constructed by the compiler will use 64 bits for each
argument. On 64 bit machines, this happens to work well because 32 bit
arguments in va_lists need to occupy 64 bits anyway, but on 32 bit
architectures this breaks the layout of the va_list expected by the
called function and mangles values.
In "88a5c690b6 bpf: fix bpf_trace_printk on 32 bit archs", this problem
had been solved for bpf_trace_printk only with a "horrid workaround"
that emitted multiple calls to trace_printk where each call had
different argument types and generated different va_list layouts. One of
the call would be dynamically chosen at runtime. This was ok with the 3
arguments that bpf_trace_printk takes but bpf_seq_printf and
bpf_snprintf accept up to 12 arguments. Because this approach scales
code exponentially, it is not a viable option anymore.
Because the promotion rules are part of the language and because the
construction of a va_list is an arch-specific ABI, it's best to just
avoid variadic arguments and va_lists altogether. Thankfully the
kernel's snprintf() has an alternative in the form of bstr_printf() that
accepts arguments in a "binary buffer representation". These binary
buffers are currently created by vbin_printf and used in the tracing
subsystem to split the cost of printing into two parts: a fast one that
only dereferences and remembers values, and a slower one, called later,
that does the pretty-printing.
This patch refactors bpf_printf_prepare to construct binary buffers of
arguments consumable by bstr_printf() instead of arrays of arguments and
modifiers. This gets rid of BPF_CAST_FMT_ARG and greatly simplifies the
bpf_printf_prepare usage but there are a few gotchas that change how
bpf_printf_prepare needs to do things.
Currently, bpf_printf_prepare uses a per cpu temporary buffer as a
generic storage for strings and IP addresses. With this refactoring, the
temporary buffers now holds all the arguments in a structured binary
format.
To comply with the format expected by bstr_printf, certain format
specifiers also need to be pre-formatted: %pB and %pi6/%pi4/%pI4/%pI6.
Because vsnprintf subroutines for these specifiers are hard to expose,
we pre-format these arguments with calls to snprintf().

CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS is only used to activate the choice for module
compression algorithm. It will be simpler to make the choice always
visible, and add CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_NONE in the choice.
This is more consistent with the "Kernel compression mode" and "Built-in
initramfs compression mode" choices. CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED and
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE are available to choose no compression.

Documentation/process/changes.rst defines the minimum assembler version
(binutils version), but we have never checked it in the build time.
Kbuild never invokes 'as' directly because all assembly files in the
kernel tree are *.S, hence must be preprocessed. I do not expect
raw assembly source files (*.s) would be added to the kernel tree.
Therefore, we always use $(CC) as the assembler driver, and commit
aa824e0c96 ("kbuild: remove AS variable") removed 'AS'. However,
we are still interested in the version of the assembler acting behind.
As usual, the --version option prints the version string.
$ as --version | head -n 1
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1
But, we do not have $(AS). So, we can add the -Wa prefix so that
$(CC) passes --version down to the backing assembler.
$ gcc -Wa,--version | head -n 1
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
OK, we need to input something to satisfy gcc.
$ gcc -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1
The combination of Clang and GNU assembler works in the same way:
$ clang -no-integrated-as -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1
Clang with the integrated assembler fails like this:
$ clang -integrated-as -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1
clang: error: unsupported argument '--version' to option 'Wa,'
For the last case, checking the error message is fragile. If the
proposal for -Wa,--version support [1] is accepted, this may not be
even an error in the future.
One easy way is to check if -integrated-as is present in the passed
arguments. We did not pass -integrated-as to CLANG_FLAGS before, but
we can make it explicit.
Nathan pointed out -integrated-as is the default for all of the
architectures/targets that the kernel cares about, but it goes
along with "explicit is better than implicit" policy. [2]
With all this in my mind, I implemented scripts/as-version.sh to
check the assembler version in Kconfig time.
$ scripts/as-version.sh gcc
GNU 23501
$ scripts/as-version.sh clang -no-integrated-as
GNU 23501
$ scripts/as-version.sh clang -integrated-as

allnoconfig_y is an ugly hack that sets a symbol to 'y' by allnoconfig.
allnoconfig does not mean a minimal set of CONFIG options because a
bunch of prompts are hidden by 'if EMBEDDED' or 'if EXPERT', but I do
not like to hack Kconfig this way.
Use the pre-existing feature, KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, to provide a one
liner config fragment. CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y is still forced when
allnoconfig is invoked as a part of tinyconfig.
No change in the .config file produced by 'make tinyconfig'.
The output of 'make allnoconfig' will be changed; we will get
CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n because allnoconfig literally sets all symbols to n.

"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that
declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not
exist yet.
This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the
"string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files.
They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in
the parse stage.
It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing
this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach.
