Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: "The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for everyone and we can proceed. Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects, which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be necessary anymore. Besides that, there are several small code and comment improvements from Thomas, Thorsten and Vernon" * tag 'slab-for-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/slab: document kfree() as allowed for kmem_cache_alloc() objects mm/slob: remove slob.c mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLOB code from slab common code mm, pagemap: remove SLOB and SLQB from comments and documentation mm, page_flags: remove PG_slob_free mm/slob: remove CONFIG_SLOB mm/slub: fix help comment of SLUB_DEBUG mm: slub: make kobj_type structure constant slab: Adjust comment after refactoring of gfp.h

Pull ARM SoC updates from Arnd Bergmann: "The Oxford Semiconductor OX810/OX820 'Oxnas' platform gets retired after the ARM11MPcore processor keeps causing problems in certain corner cases. OX820 was the only remaining SoC with this core after CNS3xxx got retired, and its driver support was never completely merged upstream. The Arm 'Realview' reference platform still supports ARM11MPCore in principle, but this was never a product, and the CPU support will get cleaned up later on. Another series updates the mv78xx0 platform, which has been similarly neglected for a while, but should work properly again now.

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix the incorrect handling of atomic offset updates in reserve_eilvt_offset() The check for the return value of atomic_cmpxchg() is not compared against the old value, it is compared against the new value, which makes it two round on success. Convert it to atomic_try_cmpxchg() which does the right thing. - Handle IO/APIC less systems correctly When IO/APIC is not advertised by ACPI then the computation of the lower bound for dynamically allocated interrupts like MSI goes wrong. This lower bound is used to exclude the IO/APIC legacy GSI space as that must stay reserved for the legacy interrupts. In case that the system, e.g. VM, does not advertise an IO/APIC the lower bound stays at 0. 0 is an invalid interrupt number except for the legacy timer interrupt on x86. The return value is unchecked in the core code, so it ends up to allocate interrupt number 0 which is subsequently considered to be invalid by the caller, e.g. the MSI allocation code. A similar problem was already cured for device tree based systems years ago, but that missed - or did not envision - the zero IO/APIC case. Consolidate the zero check and return the provided "from" argument to the core code call site, which is guaranteed to be greater than 0. - Simplify the X2APIC cluster CPU mask logic for CPU hotplug Per cluster CPU masks are required for X2APIC in cluster mode to determine the correct cluster for a target CPU when calculating the destination for IPIs These masks are established when CPUs are borught up. The first CPU in a cluster must allocate a new cluster CPU mask. As this happens during the early startup of a CPU, where memory allocations cannot be done, the mask has to be allocated by the control CPU. The current implementation allocates a clustermask just in case and if the to be brought up CPU is the first in a cluster the CPU takes over this allocation from a global pointer. This works nicely in the fully serialized CPU bringup scenario which is used today, but would fail completely for parallel bringup of CPUs. The cluster association of a CPU can be computed from the APIC ID which is enumerated by ACPI/MADT. So the cluster CPU masks can be preallocated and associated upfront and the upcoming CPUs just need to set their corresponding bit. Aside of preparing for parallel bringup this is a valuable simplification on its own. - Remove global variables which control the early startup of secondary CPUs on 64-bit The only information which is needed by a starting CPU is the Linux CPU number. The CPU number allows it to retrieve the rest of the required data from already existing per CPU storage. So instead of initial_stack, early_gdt_desciptor and initial_gs provide a new variable smpboot_control which contains the Linux CPU number for now. The starting CPU can retrieve and compute all required information for startup from there. Aside of being a cleanup, this is also preparing for parallel CPU bringup, where starting CPUs will look up their Linux CPU number via the APIC ID, when smpboot_control has the corresponding control bit set. - Make cc_vendor globally accesible Subsequent parallel bringup changes require access to cc_vendor because confidental computing platforms need special treatment in the early startup phase vs. CPUID and APCI ID readouts. The change makes cc_vendor global and provides stub accessors in case that CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM is not set. This was merged from the x86/cc branch in anticipation of further parallel bringup commits which require access to cc_vendor. Due to late discoveries of fundamental issue with those patches these commits never happened. The merge commit is unfortunately in the middle of the APIC commits so unraveling it would have required a rebase or revert. As the parallel bringup seems to be well on its way for 6.5 this would be just pointless churn. As the commit does not contain any functional change it's not a risk to keep it. * tag 'x86-apic-2023-04-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/ioapic: Don't return 0 from arch_dynirq_lower_bound() x86/apic: Fix atomic update of offset in reserve_eilvt_offset() x86/coco: Export cc_vendor x86/smpboot: Reference count on smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector() x86/smpboot: Remove initial_gs x86/smpboot: Remove early_gdt_descr on 64-bit x86/smpboot: Remove initial_stack on 64-bit x86/apic/x2apic: Allow CPU cluster_mask to be populated in parallel

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations VDSO does not allow dynamic relocations, but the build time check is incomplete and fragile. It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly. R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they fail to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros. R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they should be ignored in the build time check too. Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up in the VSDO .so file. - Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread. As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand. This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context of different threads close to each other better. - Align the tick period properly (again) For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource is installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick period advances from there. The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the time accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when timekeeping is initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is not longer a multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications which relied on that behaviour. Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ. - A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements: * Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime statistics The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated from the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that happens without any form of serialization. As a consequence sleeptimes can be accounted twice or worse. Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated value. * Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race with idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result in random and potentially going backwards values. Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing the remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible to fix, so the only way to deal with that is to document it properly and to remove the assertion in the selftest which triggers occasionally due to that. * Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout * Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct tick_sched - Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU timers For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running() callback missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four years. While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, it turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks. The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled systems there is a livelock issue independent of RT. CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU timers out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled before returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves the expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held. Once sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which wants to delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is scheduled back in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock when the preempting task and the expiry task are pinned on the same CPU. The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock. This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock can be used too in a slightly different way. Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry task hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task which waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex. In the non-contended case this results in an extra mutex_lock()/unlock() pair on both sides. This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents the livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems * tag 'timers-core-2023-04-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: posix-cpu-timers: Implement the missing timer_wait_running callback selftests/proc: Assert clock_gettime(CLOCK_BOOTTIME) VS /proc/uptime monotonicity selftests/proc: Remove idle time monotonicity assertions MAINTAINERS: Remove stale email address timers/nohz: Remove middle-function __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() timers/nohz: Add a comment about broken iowait counter update race timers/nohz: Protect idle/iowait sleep time under seqcount timers/nohz: Only ever update sleeptime from idle exit timers/nohz: Restructure and reshuffle struct tick_sched tick/common: Align tick period with the HZ tick. selftests/timers/posix_timers: Test delivery of signals across threads posix-timers: Prefer delivery of signals to the current thread vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations

Pull core debugobjects update from Thomas Gleixner: "A single update to debugobjects: Prevent a race vs statically initialized objects. Such objects are usually not initialized via an init() function. They are special cased and detected on first use under the assumption that they are already correctly initialized via the static initializer. This works correctly unless there are two concurrent debug object operations on such an object. The first one detects that the object is not yet tracked and tries to establish a tracking object after dropping the debug objects hash bucket lock. The concurrent operation does the same. The one which wins the race ends up modifying the state of the object which makes the other one fail resulting in a bogus debug objects warning. Prevent this by making the detection of a static object and the allocation of a tracking object atomic under the hash bucket lock. So the first one to acquire the hash bucket lock will succeed and the second one will observe the correct tracking state. This race existed forever but was only exposed when the timer wheel code added a debug_object_assert_init() call outside of the timer base locked region. This replaced the previous warning about timer::function being NULL which had to be removed when the timer_shutdown() mechanics were added" * tag 'core-debugobjects-2023-04-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: debugobject: Prevent init race with static objects

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang: "In this cycle, sub-page block support for uncompressed files is available. It's mainly used to enable original signing ('golden') 4k-block images on arm64 with 16/64k pages. In addition, end users could also use this feature to build a manifest to directly refer to golden tar data. Besides, long xattr name prefix support is also introduced in this cycle to avoid too many xattrs with the same prefix (e.g. overlayfs xattrs). It's useful for erofs + overlayfs combination (like Composefs model): the image size is reduced by ~14% and runtime performance is also slightly improved. Others are random fixes and cleanups as usual. Summary: - Add sub-page block size support for uncompressed files - Support flattened block device for multi-blob images to be attached into virtual machines (including cloud servers) and bare metals - Support long xattr name prefixes to optimize images with common xattr namespaces (e.g. files with overlayfs xattrs) use cases - Various minor cleanups & fixes" * tag 'erofs-for-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs: erofs: cleanup i_format-related stuffs erofs: sunset erofs_dbg() erofs: fix potential overflow calculating xattr_isize erofs: get rid of z_erofs_fill_inode() erofs: enable long extended attribute name prefixes erofs: handle long xattr name prefixes properly erofs: add helpers to load long xattr name prefixes erofs: introduce on-disk format for long xattr name prefixes erofs: move packed inode out of the compression part erofs: keep meta inode into erofs_buf erofs: initialize packed inode after root inode is assigned erofs: stop parsing non-compact HEAD index if clusterofs is invalid erofs: don't warn ztailpacking feature anymore erofs: simplify erofs_xattr_generic_get() erofs: rename init_inode_xattrs with erofs_ prefix erofs: move several xattr helpers into xattr.c erofs: tidy up EROFS on-disk naming erofs: support flattened block device for multi-blob images erofs: set block size to the on-disk block size erofs: avoid hardcoded blocksize for subpage block support

Pull acl updates from Christian Brauner: "After finishing the introduction of the new posix acl api last cycle the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers are still around in the filesystems xattr handlers for two reasons: (1) Because a few filesystems rely on the ->list() method of the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers in their ->listxattr() inode operation. (2) POSIX ACLs are only available if IOP_XATTR is raised. The IOP_XATTR flag is raised in inode_init_always() based on whether the sb->s_xattr pointer is non-NULL. IOW, the registered xattr handlers of the filesystem are used to raise IOP_XATTR. Removing the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from all filesystems would risk regressing filesystems that only implement POSIX ACL support and no other xattrs (nfs3 comes to mind). This contains the work to decouple POSIX ACLs from the IOP_XATTR flag as they don't depend on xattr handlers anymore. So it's now possible to remove the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from the sb->s_xattr list of all filesystems. This is a crucial step as the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers aren't used for POSIX ACLs anymore and POSIX ACLs don't depend on the xattr infrastructure anymore. Adressing problem (1) will require more long-term work. It would be best to get rid of the ->list() method of xattr handlers completely at some point. For erofs, ext{2,4}, f2fs, jffs2, ocfs2, and reiserfs the nop POSIX ACL xattr handler is kept around so they can continue to use array-based xattr handler indexing. This update does simplify the ->listxattr() implementation of all these filesystems however" * tag 'v6.4/vfs.acl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: acl: don't depend on IOP_XATTR ovl: check for ->listxattr() support reiserfs: rework priv inode handling fs: rename generic posix acl handlers reiserfs: rework ->listxattr() implementation fs: simplify ->listxattr() implementation fs: drop unused posix acl handlers xattr: remove unused argument xattr: add listxattr helper xattr: simplify listxattr helpers

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner: "This adds a new pidfd_prepare() helper which allows the caller to reserve a pidfd number and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the provided struct pid. It should be avoided installing a file descriptor into a task's file descriptor table just to close it again via close_fd() in case an error occurs. The fd has been visible to userspace and might already be in use. Instead, a file descriptor should be reserved but not installed into the caller's file descriptor table. If another failure path is hit then the reserved file descriptor and file can just be put without any userspace visible side-effects. And if all failure paths are cleared the file descriptor and file can be installed into the task's file descriptor table. This helper is now used in all places that open coded this functionality before. For example, this is currently done during copy_process() and fanotify used pidfd_create(), which returns a pidfd that has already been made visibile in the caller's file descriptor table, but then closed it using close_fd(). In one of the next merge windows there is also new functionality coming to unix domain sockets that will have to rely on pidfd_prepare()" * tag 'v6.4/pidfd.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: fanotify: use pidfd_prepare() fork: use pidfd_prepare() pid: add pidfd_prepare()

Pull user work thread updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work generalizing the ability to create a kernel worker from a userspace process. Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace process they were created from providing stronger security and accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach ever could've hoped for. The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a userspace process is generally useful. The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api. The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created. Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition, providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used. So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers: - Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags. - Make copy_process() available to core kernel code - Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields allowing to indicate to copy_process(): - to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER) - to not inherit any files from the userspace process - to ignore signals After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.
