Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:

- Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs

- Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing

- Nhat Pham adds the new cachestat() syscall. It provides userspace
with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability

- Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
prevalence of page rescanning

- Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
get_user_pages() interface

- Liam Howlett continues with cleanups and maintenance work to the
maple tree code. Peng Zhang also does some work on maple tree

- Johannes Weiner has done some cleanup work on the compaction code

work for the vmalloc code

- Baolin Wang has provided some compaction cleanups,

- SeongJae Park continues maintenance work on the DAMON code

- Huang Ying has done some maintenance on the swap code's usage of
device refcounting

- Christoph Hellwig has some cleanups for the filemap/directio code

- Ryan Roberts provides two patch series which yield some
rationalization of the kernel's access to pte entries - use the
provided APIs rather than open-coding accesses

- Lorenzo Stoakes has some fixes to the interaction between pagecache
and directio access to file mappings

- John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code

- ZhangPeng continues the folio conversion campaign

- Hugh Dickins has been working on the pagetable handling code, mainly
with a view to reducing the load on the mmap_lock

- Catalin Marinas has reduced the arm64 kmalloc() minimum alignment
from 128 to 8

- Domenico Cerasuolo has improved the zswap reclaim mechanism by
reorganizing the LRU management

- Matthew Wilcox provides some fixups to make gfs2 work better with the
buffer_head code

- Vishal Moola also has done some folio conversion work

- Matthew Wilcox has removed the remnants of the pagevec code - their
functionality is migrated over to struct folio_batch

Merge tag 'hardening-v6.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"There are three areas of note:

A bunch of strlcpy()->strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).

The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b.

The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
macro while we continue to add annotations.

As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
such annotations found via Coccinelle:

https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b

Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.

Summary:

- Fix KMSAN vs FORTIFY in strlcpy/strlcat (Alexander Potapenko)

- Convert strreplace() to return string start (Andy Shevchenko)

- Flexible array conversions (Arnd Bergmann, Wyes Karny, Kees Cook)

- Add missing function prototypes seen with W=1 (Arnd Bergmann)

- Fix strscpy() kerndoc typo (Arne Welzel)

- Replace strlcpy() with strscpy() across many subsystems which were
either Acked by respective maintainers or were trivial changes that
went ignored for multiple weeks (Azeem Shaikh)

- Remove unneeded cc-option test for UBSAN_TRAP (Nick Desaulniers)

- Add KUnit tests for strcat()-family

- Enable KUnit tests of FORTIFY wrappers under UML

- Add more complete FORTIFY protections for strlcat()

- Add missed disabling of FORTIFY for all arch purgatories.

- Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 globally

- Tightening UBSAN_BOUNDS when using GCC

- Improve checkpatch to check for strcpy, strncpy, and fake flex
arrays

- Improve use of const variables in FORTIFY

- Add requested struct_size_t() helper for types not pointers

- Add __counted_by macro for annotating flexible array size members"

x86/csum: Improve performance of `csum_partial`

1) Add special case for len == 40 as that is the hottest value. The
nets a ~8-9% latency improvement and a ~30% throughput improvement
in the len == 40 case.

2) Use multiple accumulators in the 64-byte loop. This dramatically
improves ILP and results in up to a 40% latency/throughput
improvement (better for more iterations).

There is no such thing as a free lunch, however, and the special case
for len == 40 does add overhead to the len != 40 cases. This seems to
amount to be ~5% throughput and slightly less in terms of latency.

Testing:
Part of this change is a new kunit test. The tests check all
alignment X length pairs in [0, 64) X [0, 512).
There are three cases.
1) Precomputed random inputs/seed. The expected results where
generated use the generic implementation (which is assumed to be
non-buggy).
2) An input of all 1s. The goal of this test is to catch any case
a carry is missing.
3) An input that never carries. The goal of this test si to catch
any case of incorrectly carrying.

More exhaustive tests that test all alignment X length pairs in
[0, 8192) X [0, 8192] on random data are also available here:
https://github.com/goldsteinn/csum-reproduction

The reposity also has the code for reproducing the above benchmark
numbers.

Merge tag 'modules-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:

- Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement

- Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules

- My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.

Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.

Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:

The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
together all types of supported module memory types in one data
structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.

Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
specific dynamic debug information.

Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:

a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is
active with no clear solution in sight.

b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags

In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").

Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].

A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
with no clear solution in sight [1].

In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:

./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)

You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.

Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.

The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.

The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead"

Merge tag 'net-next-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:

- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
possible

- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
unneeded softirq avoidance

- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

- Optimize again the skb struct layout

- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems

- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

BPF:

- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
variable-sized accesses

- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
controlling encap params

- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
skeleton

- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
capabilities

- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
in local storage maps

- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps

- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree

- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
start emitting them

- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

Protocols:

- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address

- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures

- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers

- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction

- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore

- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

Netfilter:

- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged

- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore

- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

Driver API:

- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them

- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI

- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization

- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs

- Add partial YNL specification for devlink

- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool

- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device

- Add basic LED support for switch/phy

- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links

- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
by user space

- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
controllers

atomics: Provide rcuref - scalable reference counting

atomic_t based reference counting, including refcount_t, uses
atomic_inc_not_zero() for acquiring a reference. atomic_inc_not_zero() is
implemented with a atomic_try_cmpxchg() loop. High contention of the
reference count leads to retry loops and scales badly. There is nothing to
improve on this implementation as the semantics have to be preserved.

Provide rcuref as a scalable alternative solution which is suitable for RCU
managed objects. Similar to refcount_t it comes with overflow and underflow
detection and mitigation.

rcuref treats the underlying atomic_t as an unsigned integer and partitions
this space into zones:

0x00000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF valid zone (1 .. (INT_MAX + 1) references)
0x80000000 - 0xBFFFFFFF saturation zone
0xC0000000 - 0xFFFFFFFE dead zone
0xFFFFFFFF no reference

rcuref_get() unconditionally increments the reference count with
atomic_add_negative_relaxed(). rcuref_put() unconditionally decrements the
reference count with atomic_add_negative_release().

This unconditional increment avoids the inc_not_zero() problem, but
requires a more complex implementation on the put() side when the count
drops from 0 to -1.

When this transition is detected then it is attempted to mark the reference
count dead, by setting it to the midpoint of the dead zone with a single
atomic_cmpxchg_release() operation. This operation can fail due to a
concurrent rcuref_get() elevating the reference count from -1 to 0 again.

If the unconditional increment in rcuref_get() hits a reference count which
is marked dead (or saturated) it will detect it after the fact and bring
back the reference count to the midpoint of the respective zone. The zones
provide enough tolerance which makes it practically impossible to escape
from a zone.

The racy implementation of rcuref_put() requires to protect rcuref_put()
against a grace period ending in order to prevent a subtle use after
free. As RCU is the only mechanism which allows to protect against that, it
is not possible to fully replace the atomic_inc_not_zero() based
implementation of refcount_t with this scheme.

The final drop is slightly more expensive than the atomic_dec_return()
counterpart, but that's not the case which this is optimized for. The
optimization is on the high frequeunt get()/put() pairs and their
scalability.

The performance of an uncontended rcuref_get()/put() pair where the put()
is not dropping the last reference is still on par with the plain atomic
operations, while at the same time providing overflow and underflow
detection and mitigation.

The performance of rcuref compared to plain atomic_inc_not_zero() and
atomic_dec_return() based reference counting under contention:

- Micro benchmark: All CPUs running a increment/decrement loop on an
elevated reference count, which means the 0 to -1 transition never
happens.

The performance gain depends on microarchitecture and the number of
CPUs and has been observed in the range of 1.3X to 4.7X

- Conversion of dst_entry::__refcnt to rcuref and testing with the
localhost memtier/memcached benchmark. That benchmark shows the
reference count contention prominently.

The performance gain depends on microarchitecture and the number of
CPUs and has been observed in the range of 1.1X to 2.6X over the
previous fix for the false sharing issue vs. struct
dst_entry::__refcnt.

When memtier is run over a real 1Gb network connection, there is a
small gain on top of the false sharing fix. The two changes combined
result in a 2%-5% total gain for that networked test.
