[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

<title>arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64</title>

[ Upstream commit bbc46b23af5bb934cd1cf066ef4342cee457a24e ]

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
  21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
  "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.

  I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

  "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
     mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
     VMAs.

  "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
     adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
     DAMON in production environments.

  "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
     is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
     pointers from struct writeback_control.

  "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
     contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
     management code.

  "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
     does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

  "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
     implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
     into order&gt;0 folios.

  "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
     provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
     selftests code.

  "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
     memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.

  "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
     expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

  "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
     addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
     These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.

  "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
     provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.

  "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
     types.

  "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
     increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
     code.

  "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
     removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.

  "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
     implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
     sysfs layer.

  "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.

  "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
     provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.

  "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
     creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
     Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
     on/offline notifier.

  "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
     which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

  "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
     adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
     more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

  "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
     fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
     follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

  "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
     rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
     allocator.

  "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
     provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

  "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
     adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

  "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
     does that.

  "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
     also does what it claims.

  "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
     cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.

  "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
     facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
     policy.

  "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
     provides a couple of page-&gt;folio conversions.

  "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
     implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
     current memcg-based implementation.

  "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
     replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
     powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.

  "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
     for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
     of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
     excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
     reliably.

  "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
     switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
     removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().

  "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
     augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
     monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
     tunable to control the update interval.

  "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
     does what is claims.

  "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
     provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
     a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
     over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
     directly.

  "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
     addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
     reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
     half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
     selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

  "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up __folio_split()!

  "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     provides some quite large (&gt;3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
     with large folios.

  "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
     does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

  "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
     more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
     multiple VMAs" feature.

  "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
     extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
     possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
     subset"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
  after lengthy discussions.

  Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
  the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
  started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
  makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
  operations.

  These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
  special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.

  XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
  inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
  directory.

  The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
  FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
  files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
  with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
  accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
  in the case when special files are created in the directory with
  already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
  attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
  attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
  possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
  prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
  files.

  In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
  additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
  legacy ioctls anymore"

Replace sprintf() with the safer variant scnprintf() and use its return
value instead of calculating the string length again using strlen().

Use strscpy() instead of the deprecated strcpy().

No functional changes intended.

<title>mm/percpu: conditionally define _shared_alloc_tag via CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU</title>

<id>urn:sha1:59b5ed409d03bc8b7bb153d78afcd7cea9d7bbfa</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently discovered this entry while checking kallsyms on ARM64:
ffff800083e509c0 D _shared_alloc_tag

If ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is not defined(it is only defined for s390 and
alpha architectures), there's no need to statically define the percpu
variable _shared_alloc_tag.

Therefore, we need to implement isolation for this purpose.

When building the core kernel code for s390 or alpha architectures,
ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU remains undefined (as it is gated by #if
defined(MODULE)).  However, when building modules for these architectures,
the macro is explicitly defined.

Therefore, we remove all instances of ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU from the
code and introduced CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU to replace the
relevant logic.  We can now conditionally define the perpcu variable
_shared_alloc_tag based on CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU.  This
allows architectures (such as s390/alpha) that require weak definitions
for percpu variables in modules to include the definition, while others
can omit it via compile-time exclusion.

<title>af_unix: Introduce SO_INQ.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:df30285b3670bf52e1e5512e4d4482bec5e93c16</id>
<content type='text'>
We have an application that uses almost the same code for TCP and
AF_UNIX (SOCK_STREAM).

TCP can use TCP_INQ, but AF_UNIX doesn't have it and requires an
extra syscall, ioctl(SIOCINQ) or getsockopt(SO_MEMINFO) as an
alternative.

Let's introduce the generic version of TCP_INQ.

If SO_INQ is enabled, recvmsg() will put a cmsg of SCM_INQ that
contains the exact value of ioctl(SIOCINQ).  The cmsg is also
included when msg-&gt;msg_get_inq is non-zero to make sockets
io_uring-friendly.

Note that SOCK_CUSTOM_SOCKOPT is flagged only for SOCK_STREAM to
override setsockopt() for SOL_SOCKET.

By having the flag in struct unix_sock, instead of struct sock, we
can later add SO_INQ support for TCP and reuse tcp_sk(sk)-&gt;recvmsg_inq.

Note also that supporting custom getsockopt() for SOL_SOCKET will need
preparation for other SOCK_CUSTOM_SOCKOPT users (UDP, vsock, MPTCP).
