Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "As is pretty normal for this tree, there are changes all over the
  place, especially for small fixes, selftest improvements, and improved
  macro usability.

  Some header changes ended up landing via this tree as they depended on
  the string header cleanups. Also, a notable set of changes is the work
  for the reintroduction of the UBSAN signed integer overflow sanitizer
  so that we can continue to make improvements on the compiler side to
  make this sanitizer a more viable future security hardening option.

  Summary:

   - string.h and related header cleanups (Tanzir Hasan, Andy
     Shevchenko)

   - VMCI memcpy() usage and struct_size() cleanups (Vasiliy Kovalev,
     Harshit Mogalapalli)

   - selftests/powerpc: Fix load_unaligned_zeropad build failure
     (Michael Ellerman)

   - hardened Kconfig fragment updates (Marco Elver, Lukas Bulwahn)

   - Handle tail call optimization better in LKDTM (Douglas Anderson)

   - Use long form types in overflow.h (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Add flags param to string_get_size() (Andy Shevchenko)

     Keller)

   - Fix objtool corner case under KCFI (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - Drop 13 year old backward compat CAP_SYS_ADMIN check (Jingzi Meng)

   - Add str_plural() helper (Michal Wajdeczko, Kees Cook)

   - Ignore relocations in .notes section

   - Add comments to explain how __is_constexpr() works

   - Fix m68k stack alignment expectations in stackinit Kunit test

   - Convert string selftests to KUnit

   - Add KUnit tests for fortified string functions

   - Improve reporting during fortified string warnings

   - Allow non-type arg to type_max() and type_min()

   - Allow strscpy() to be called with only 2 arguments

   - Add binary mode to leaking_addresses scanner

   - Various small cleanups to leaking_addresses scanner

   - Adding wrapping_*() arithmetic helper

   - Annotate initial signed integer wrap-around in refcount_t

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "Mostly stabilization, refactoring and cleanup changes. There rest are
  minor performance optimizations due to caching or lock contention
  reduction and a few notable fixes.

  Performance improvements:

   - minor speedup in logging when repeatedly allocated structure is
     preallocated only once, improves latency and decreases lock
     contention

   - minor throughput increase (+6%), reduced lock contention after
     clearing delayed allocation bits, applies to several common
     workload types

   - skip full quota rescan if a new relation is added in the same
     transaction

  Fixes:

   - zstd fix for inline compressed file in subpage mode, updated
     version from the 6.8 time

   - proper qgroup inheritance ioctl parameter validation

   - more fiemap followup fixes after reduced locking done in 6.8:
      - fix race when detecting delalloc ranges

  Core changes:

   - more debugging code:
      - added assertions for a very rare crash in raid56 calculation
      - tree-checker dumps page state to give more insights into
        possible reference counting issues

   - add checksum calculation offloading sysfs knob, for now enabled
     under DEBUG only to determine a good heuristic for deciding the
     offload or synchronous, depends on various factors (block group
     profile, device speed) and is not as clear as initially thought
     (checksum type)

   - error handling improvements, added assertions

   - more page to folio conversion (defrag, truncate), cached size and
     shift

   - preparation for more fine grained locking of sectors in subpage
     mode

   - cleanups and refactoring:
      - include cleanups, forward declarations
      - pointer-to-structure helpers
      - redundant argument removals
      - removed unused code
      - slab cache updates, last use of SLAB_MEM_SPREAD removed"

Pull SoC device tree updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There is very little going on with new SoC support this time, all the
  new chips are variations of others that we already support, and they
  are all based on ARMv8 cores:

   - Mediatek MT7981B (Filogic 820) and MT7988A (Filogic 880) are
     networking SoCs designed to be used in wireless routers, similar to
     the already supported MT7986A (Filogic 830).

   - NXP i.MX8DXP is a variant of i.MX8QXP, with two CPU cores less.
     These are used in many embedded and industrial applications.

   - Renesas R8A779G2 (R-Car V4H ES2.0) and R8A779H0 (R-Car V4M) are
     automotive SoCs.

   - TI J722S is another automotive variant of its K3 family, related to
     the AM62 series.

  There are a total of 7 new arm32 machines and 45 arm64 ones, including

   - Two Android phones based on the old Tegra30 chip

   - Two machines using Cortex-A53 SoCs from Allwinner, a mini PC and a
     SoM development board

   - A set-top box using Amlogic Meson G12A S905X2

   - Eight embedded board using NXP i.MX6/8/9

   - Three machines using Mediatek network router chips

   - Ten Chromebooks, all based on Mediatek MT8186

   - One development board based on Mediatek MT8395 (Genio 1200)

   - Seven tablets and phones based on Qualcomm SoCs, most of them from
     Samsung.

   - A third development board for Qualcomm SM8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)

   - Three variants of the "White Hawk" board for Renesas automotive
     SoCs

   - Ten Rockchips RK35xx based machines, including NAS, Tablet, Game
     console and industrial form factors.

   - Three evaluation boards for TI K3 based SoCs

  The other changes are mainly the usual feature additions for existing
  hardware, cleanups, and dtc compile time fixes. One notable change is
  the inclusion of PowerVR SGX GPU nodes on TI SoCs"

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

 - Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes

 - Fix error handling in Processor Activity Instrumentation device
   driver, and export number of counters with a sysfs file

 - Allow for multiple events when Processor Activity Instrumentation
   counters are monitored in system wide sampling

 - Change multiplier and shift values of the Time-of-Day clock source to
   improve steering precision

 - Remove a couple of unneeded GFP_DMA flags from allocations

 - Disable mmap alignment if randomize_va_space is also disabled, to
   avoid a too small heap

 - Various changes to allow s390 to be compiled with LLVM=1, since
   ld.lld and llvm-objcopy will have proper s390 support witch clang 19

 - Add __uninitialized macro to Compiler Attributes. This is helpful
   with s390's FPU code where some users have up to 520 byte stack
   frames. Clearing such stack frames (if INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or
   INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled) before they are used contradicts the
   intention (performance improvement) of such code sections.

 - Convert switch_to() to an out-of-line function, and use the generic
   switch_to header file

 - Replace the usage of s390's debug feature with pr_debug() calls
   within the zcrypt device driver

 - Improve hotplug support of the Adjunct Processor device driver

 - Improve retry handling in the zcrypt device driver

 - Various changes to the in-kernel FPU code:

     - Make in-kernel FPU sections preemptible

     - Convert various larger inline assemblies and assembler files to
       C, mainly by using singe instruction inline assemblies. This
       increases readability, but also allows makes it easier to add
       proper instrumentation hooks

     - Cleanup of the header files

 - Provide fast variants of csum_partial() and
   csum_partial_copy_nocheck() based on vector instructions

 - Introduce and use a lock to synchronize accesses to zpci device data
   structures to avoid inconsistent states caused by concurrent accesses

 - Compile the kernel without -fPIE. This addresses the following
   problems if the kernel is compiled with -fPIE:

     - It uses dynamic symbols (.dynsym), for which the linker refuses
       to allow more than 64k sections. This can break features which
       use '-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections', including
       kpatch-build and function granular KASLR

     - It unnecessarily uses GOT relocations, adding an extra layer of
       indirection for many memory accesses

 - Fix shared_cpu_list for CPU private L2 caches, which incorrectly were
   reported as globally shared

Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Continuing work by Ard Biesheuvel to improve the x86 early startup
   code, with the long-term goal to make it position independent:

      - Get rid of early accesses to global objects, either by moving
        them to the stack, deferring the access until later, or dropping
        the globals entirely

      - Move all code that runs early via the 1:1 mapping into
        .head.text, and move code that does not out of it, so that build
        time checks can be added later to ensure that no inadvertent
        absolute references were emitted into code that does not

Pull x86 APIC fixup from Dave Hansen:
 "Revert VERW fixed addressing patch.

  The reverted commit is not x86/apic material and was cruft left over
  from a merge.

  I believe the sequence of events went something like this:

   - The commit in question was added to x86/urgent

   - x86/urgent was merged into x86/apic to resolve a conflict

   - The commit was zapped from x86/urgent, but *not* from x86/apic

   - x86/apic got pullled (yesterday)

  I think we need to be a bit more vigilant when zapping things to make
  sure none of the other branches are depending on the zapped material"

Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
 "RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
  infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
  have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
  wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
  values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
  kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
  state can be cleared.

  This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
  vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
  mitigation"

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because
in the following merge conflict resolution in <asm/coco.h>:

  38b334fc Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:

  1c811d40 x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code

... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:

  2e5fc478 Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree

But Linus is right in 38b334fc, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.

So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's
tree and follow his conflict resolution.

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
   'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:

      - This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory
        via variables declared with such attributes, which allows the
        compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
        inline assembly code.

      - The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
        various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
        accesses in assembly code.

      - These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
        last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.

 - Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling
   of FPU switching - which also generates better code

   slightly better code

   caused said errors in the past.

   replaced so poisoning faulty areas of it and thus making them
   inaccessible is the only strategy to prolong its lifetime.

 - Add an AMD address translation library glue which converts the
   reported addresses of hw errors into system physical addresses in
   order to be used by other subsystems like memory failure, for
   example. Add support for MI300 accelerators to that library.

Pull x86 entry update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single update for the x86 entry code:

  The current CR3 handling for kernel page table isolation in the
  paranoid return paths which are relevant for #NMI, #MCE, #VC, #DB and
  #DF is unconditionally writing CR3 with the value retrieved on
  exception entry.

  In the vast majority of cases when returning to the kernel this is a
  pointless exercise because CR3 was not modified on exception entry.
  The only situation where this is necessary is when the exception
  interrupts a entry from user before switching to kernel CR3 or
  interrupts an exit to user after switching back to user CR3.

  As CR3 writes can be expensive on some systems this becomes measurable
  overhead with high frequency #NMIs such as perf.

  Avoid this overhead by checking the CR3 value, which was saved on
  entry, and write it back to CR3 only when it is a user CR3"

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).

  FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
  of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:

   1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
      in nested exception scenarios.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
      exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
      each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
      of #NMI code to handle this.

   3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
      which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
      to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.

   4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
      is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
      stack trace.

   5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment

   6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
      on large systems.

   7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources

  FRED addresses these shortcomings by:

   1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
      exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
      for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
      complexity of preserving it in software.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
      exception uses the currently interrupt stack.

   3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
      BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
      per CPU variable access is done in hardware.

   4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
      return from NMI.

   5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP

   6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
      because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
      and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
      syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
      entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
      the vector space restriction.

      The first hardware implementations will still have the current
      restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
      further changes to the local APIC.

   7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
      allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
      required local APIC changes are in place.

  The series implements the initial FRED support by:

   - Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
     accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.

   - Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
     requires to store context and meta information

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
     information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE

   - Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
     demultiplex the events

   - Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
     tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.

  The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
  implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
  like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
  impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
  extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
  therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.

  It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
  simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"
