Pull AES-GCM optimizations from Eric Biggers:
"More optimizations and cleanups for the x86_64 AES-GCM code:
- Add a VAES+AVX2 optimized implementation of AES-GCM. This is very
helpful on CPUs that have VAES but not AVX512, such as AMD Zen 3.
- Make the VAES+AVX512 optimized implementation of AES-GCM handle
large amounts of associated data efficiently.
- Remove the "avx10_256" implementation of AES-GCM. It's superseded
by the VAES+AVX2 optimized implementation.
- Rename the "avx10_512" implementation to "avx512"
Overall, this fills in a gap where AES-GCM wasn't fully optimized on
some recent CPUs. It also drops code that won't be as useful as
initially expected due to AVX10/256 being dropped from the AVX10 spec"

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.19. It includes:
- Add SHA-3 support to lib/crypto/, including support for both the
hash functions and the extendable-output functions. Reimplement the
existing SHA-3 crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by the upcoming support for the ML-DSA
signature algorithm, which needs the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
functions. But even on its own it's a useful cleanup.
This also fixes the longstanding issue where the
architecture-optimized SHA-3 code was disabled by default.
- Add BLAKE2b support to lib/crypto/, and reimplement the existing
BLAKE2b crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by btrfs, which supports BLAKE2b
checksums. With this change, all btrfs checksum algorithms now have
library APIs. btrfs is planned to start just using the library
directly.
This refactor also improves consistency between the BLAKE2b code
and BLAKE2s code. And as usual, it also fixes the issue where the
architecture-optimized BLAKE2b code was disabled by default.
- Add POLYVAL support to lib/crypto/, replacing the existing POLYVAL
support in crypto_shash. Reimplement HCTR2 on top of the library.
This simplifies the code and improves HCTR2 performance. As usual,
it also makes the architecture-optimized code be enabled by
default. The generic implementation of POLYVAL is greatly improved
as well.
- Clean up the BLAKE2s code
- Add FIPS self-tests for SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3"

The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd

to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
several cleanups/typos.
Summary:
Core features:
- Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API
Perf and PMU:
- Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs
- Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
for NVIDIA implementations
- Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect
- Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs
- Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver
- Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver
Memory managemennt:
- Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault
- Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid
- Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros
- Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()
- Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()

"The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
(LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the

recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.
This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).
There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an

Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which
are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

"Scoped user mode access and related changes:
- Implement the missing u64 user access function on ARM when
CONFIG_CPU_SPECTRE=n.
This makes it possible to access a 64bit value in generic code with
[unsafe_]get_user(). All other architectures and ARM variants
provide the relevant accessors already.
- Ensure that ASM GOTO jump label usage in the user mode access
helpers always goes through a local C scope label indirection
inside the helpers.
This is required because compilers are not supporting that a ASM
GOTO target leaves a auto cleanup scope. GCC silently fails to emit
the cleanup invocation and CLANG fails the build.
[ Editor's note: gcc-16 will have fixed the code generation issue
in commit f68fe3ddda4 ("eh: Invoke cleanups/destructors in asm
goto jumps [PR122835]"). But we obviously have to deal with clang
and older versions of gcc, so.. - Linus ]
This provides generic wrapper macros and the conversion of affected
architecture code to use them.
- Scoped user mode access with auto cleanup
Access to user mode memory can be required in hot code paths, but
if it has to be done with user controlled pointers, the access is
shielded with a speculation barrier, so that the CPU cannot
speculate around the address range check. Those speculation
barriers impact performance quite significantly.
This cost can be avoided by "masking" the provided pointer so it is
guaranteed to be in the valid user memory access range and
otherwise to point to a guaranteed unpopulated address space. This
has to be done without branches so it creates an address dependency
for the access, which the CPU cannot speculate ahead.
This results in repeating and error prone programming patterns:
if (can_do_masked_user_access())
from = masked_user_read_access_begin((from));
else if (!user_read_access_begin(from, sizeof(*from)))
return -EFAULT;
unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault);
user_read_access_end();
return 0;
Efault:
user_read_access_end();
return -EFAULT;
which can be replaced with scopes and automatic cleanup:
- Convert code which implements the above pattern over to
scope_user.*.access(). This also corrects a couple of imbalanced
masked_*_begin() instances which are harmless on most
architectures, but prevent PowerPC from implementing the masking
optimization.
- Add a missing speculation barrier in copy_from_user_iter()"

Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
cumbersome cleanup paths.
FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:
The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.
I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

Pull directory delegations update from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work for recall-only directory delegations for
knfsd.
Add support for simple, recallable-only directory delegations. This
was decided at the fall NFS Bakeathon where the NFS client and server
maintainers discussed how to merge directory delegation support.
The approach starts with recallable-only delegations for several reasons:
1. RFC8881 has gaps that are being addressed in RFC8881bis. In
particular, it requires directory position information for
CB_NOTIFY callbacks, which is difficult to implement properly
under Linux. The spec is being extended to allow that information
to be omitted.
2. Client-side support for CB_NOTIFY still lags. The client side
involves heuristics about when to request a delegation.
3. Early indication shows simple, recallable-only delegations can
help performance. Anna Schumaker mentioned seeing a multi-minute
speedup in xfstests runs with them enabled.
With these changes, userspace can also request a read lease on a
directory that will be recalled on conflicting accesses. This may be
useful for applications like Samba. Users can disable leases
altogether via the fs.leases-enable sysctl if needed.
VFS changes:
- Dedicated Type for Delegations
Introduce struct delegated_inode to track inodes that may have
delegations that need to be broken. This replaces the previous
approach of passing raw inode pointers through the delegation
breaking code paths, providing better type safety and clearer
semantics for the delegation machinery.
- Break parent directory delegations in open(..., O_CREAT) codepath
- Allow mkdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Allow rmdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Add try_break_deleg calls for parents to vfs_link(), vfs_rename(),

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements
adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.
Features:
- Kernel Credential Guards
Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()
Cleanups:
- Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed
- Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials
- Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago
- coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner
credential handling
- coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup()
- coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const

Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner:
"Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file
position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common
operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current
folio.
The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and
is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems:
- btrfs
- buffer
- ext4
- f2fs
- gfs2
- iomap
- netfs
- xfs
- mm
This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files
larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but
the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs,
they were just mildly inefficient.
This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent
commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on
64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit
systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures.
Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in
places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it
is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are
always unsigned regardless of architecture"

"Features:
- Expose coredump signal via pidfd
Expose the signal that caused the coredump through the pidfd
interface. The recent changes to rework coredump handling to rely
on unix sockets are in the process of being used in systemd. The
previous systemd coredump container interface requires the coredump
file descriptor and basic information including the signal number
to be sent to the container. This means the signal number needs to
be available before sending the coredump to the container.

which information fields are supported by the running kernel. This

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.
Features:
- listns() system call
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
longstanding limitations:
Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
all processes, which is:
- Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
- Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
parent references
- Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
- No ordering or ownership information
- No filtering per namespace type
Features include:
- Pagination support for large namespace sets
- Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
- Filtering by owning user namespace
- Permission checks respecting namespace isolation
- Active Reference Counting
Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
cases:
- The namespace is in use by a task
- The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount)
- The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
namespaces
The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
to namespace file handles and listns().
This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
not be accessible via (1)-(3).
- Unified Namespace Tree
Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
- Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
- Lookup based solely on inode number
- Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
- Simplified rbtree comparison helpers
Cleanups
- Header Reorganization:
- Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
- Decouple nstree from ns_common header
- Move nstree types into separate header
- Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
- Use guards for ns_tree_lock
- Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
- Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
away
- Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
- Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
- pid: rely on common reference count behavior
- Miscellaneous Cleanups
- Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
- Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
- Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
- Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
- nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
- pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
- libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
- cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
- nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()
Fixes:
- setns(pidfd, ...) race condition
Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.
The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.
- Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success
- Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
reference)
- Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
namespace
- Add asserts for active refcount underflow
- Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
and active)
- ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions
- Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions
- Selftests
- 15 active reference count tests
- 9 listns() functionality tests
- 7 listns() permission tests
- 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
- 3 threaded active reference count tests
- commit_creds() active reference tests

Pull writeback updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Allow file systems to increase the minimum writeback chunk size.
The relatively low minimal writeback size of 4MiB means that
written back inodes on rotational media are switched a lot. Besides
introducing additional seeks, this also can lead to extreme file
fragmentation on zoned devices when a lot of files are cached
relative to the available writeback bandwidth.
This adds a superblock field that allows the file system to
override the default size, and sets it to the zone size for zoned
XFS.
- Add logging for slow writeback when it exceeds
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs. This helps identify tasks waiting
for a long time and pinpoint potential issues. Recording the
starting jiffies is also useful when debugging a crashed vmcore.
- Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk
Cleanups:
- filemap_* writeback interface cleanups.

the original btrfs caller should be using better high level
interfaces instead.
This series removes all these low-level interfaces, switches btrfs

a pointer to a the lock class. With LOCKDEP enabled this information is
useful but without LOCKDEP it not used at all. Passing the pointer
information of the lock class might be considered negligible but the
name of the lock is passed as well and the string is stored. This
information is wasting storage.
Split __mutex_init() into a _genereic() variant doing the initialisation
of the lock and a _lockdep() version which does _genereic() plus the
lockdep bits. Restrict the lockdep version to lockdep enabled builds
allowing the compiler to remove the unused parameter.
MIPS: mm: kmalloc tlb_vpn array to avoid stack overflow
Owing to Config4.MMUSizeExt and VTLB/FTLB MMU features later MIPSr2+
cores can have more than 64 TLB entries. Therefore allocate an array
for uniquification instead of placing too an small array on the stack.

afs: Fix uninit var in afs_alloc_anon_key()
Fix an uninitialised variable (key) in afs_alloc_anon_key() by setting it
to cell->anonymous_key. Without this change, the error check may return a
false failure with a bad error number.
Most of the time this is unlikely to happen because the first encounter
with afs_alloc_anon_key() will usually be from (auto)mount, for which all
subsequent operations must wait - apart from other (auto)mounts. Once the
call->anonymous_key is allocated, all further calls to afs_request_key()
will skip the call to afs_alloc_anon_key() for that cell.

-> .... (4) use the mapping .... -> (5) vfree -> (6) vm_reset_perms

Or, it may happen that we encounter failure at (3) and directly jump to (5).
In both cases, (7) may fail due to linear map split failure. But, we care
about its success *only* for the region which got successfully changed by
(3). Such a region is guaranteed to be pte-mapped.
The TLDR is that (7) will surely succeed for the regions we care about.

mailbox: mtk-cmdq: Refine DMA address handling for the command buffer
GCE can only fetch the command buffer address from a 32-bit register.
Some SoCs support a 35-bit command buffer address for GCE, which
requires a right shift of 3 bits before setting the address into
the 32-bit register. A comment has been added to the header of
cmdq_get_shift_pa() to explain this requirement.
To prevent the GCE command buffer address from being DMA mapped beyond
its supported bit range, the DMA bit mask for the device is set during
initialization.
Additionally, to ensure the correct shift is applied when setting or
reading the register that stores the GCE command buffer address,
new APIs, cmdq_convert_gce_addr() and cmdq_revert_gce_addr(), have
been introduced for consistent operations on this register.
The variable type for the command buffer address has been standardized
to dma_addr_t to prevent handling issues caused by type mismatches.

mailbox: omap-mailbox: Check for pending msgs only when mbox is exclusive
On TI K3 devices, the mailbox resides in the Always-On power domain
(LPSC_main_alwayson) and is shared among multiple processors. The
mailbox is not solely exclusive to Linux.
Currently, the suspend path checks all FIFO queues for pending messages
and blocks suspend if any are present. This behavior is unnecessary for
K3 devices, since some of the FIFOs are used for RTOS<->RTOS
communication and are independent of Linux.
For FIFOs used in Linux<->RTOS communication, any pending message would
trigger an interrupt, which naturally prevents suspend from completing.
Hence, there is no need for the mailbox driver to explicitly check for
pending messages on K3 platforms.
Introduce a device match flag to indicate whether the mailbox instance
is exclusive to Linux, and skip the pending message check for
non-exclusive instances (such as in K3).
