8f6f76a6a2 As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree and
there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.
 
 The lengthier patch series are
 
 - "kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation in
   arch", from Baoquan He.  This is mainly cleanups and consolidation of
   the "crashkernel=" kernel parameter handling.
 
 - After much discussion, David Laight's "minmax: Relax type checks in
   min() and max()" is here.  Hopefully reduces some typecasting and the
   use of min_t() and max_t().
 
 - A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly fix
   our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/...  and which remove
   task_struct.therad_group.

ecae0bd517 Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
included in this merge do the following:
 
 - Kemeng Shi has contributed some compation maintenance work in the
   series "Fixes and cleanups to compaction".
 
 - Joel Fernandes has a patchset ("Optimize mremap during mutual
   alignment within PMD") which fixes an obscure issue with mremap()'s
   pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
   implementation which Linus suggested.
 
 - More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i the
   following patch series:
 
 	mm/damon: misc fixups for documents, comments and its tracepoint
 	mm/damon: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions
 	mm/damon: provide pseudo-moving sum based access rate
 	mm/damon: implement DAMOS apply intervals
 	mm/damon/core-test: Fix memory leaks in core-test
 	mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for only one apply interval
 
 - In the series "Do not try to access unaccepted memory" Adrian Hunter
   provides some fixups for the recently-added "unaccepted memory' feature.
   To increase the feature's checking coverage.  "Plug a few gaps where
   RAM is exposed without checking if it is unaccepted memory".
 
 - In the series "cleanups for lockless slab shrink" Qi Zheng has done
   some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab
   shrinking code.
 
 - Qi Zheng has redone the earlier (and reverted) attempt to make slab
   shrinking lockless in the series "use refcount+RCU method to implement
   lockless slab shrink".
 
 - David Hildenbrand contributes some maintenance work for the rmap code
   in the series "Anon rmap cleanups".
 
 - Kefeng Wang does more folio conversions and some maintenance work in
   the migration code.  Series "mm: migrate: more folio conversion and
   unification".
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has fixed an issue in the buffer_head code which was
   causing long stalls under some heavy memory/IO loads.  Some cleanups
   were added on the way.  Series "Add and use bdev_getblk()".
 
 - In the series "Use nth_page() in place of direct struct page
   manipulation" Zi Yan has fixed a potential issue with the direct
   manipulation of hugetlb page frames.
 
 - In the series "mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail
   struct pages if freed by HVO" has improved our handling of gigantic
   pages in the hugetlb vmmemmep optimizaton code.  This provides
   significant boot time improvements when significant amounts of gigantic
   pages are in use.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has sent the series "Small hugetlb cleanups" - code
   rationalization and folio conversions in the hugetlb code.
 
 - Yin Fengwei has improved mlock()'s handling of large folios in the
   series "support large folio for mlock"
 
 - In the series "Expose swapcache stat for memcg v1" Liu Shixin has
   added statistics for memcg v1 users which are available (and useful)
   under memcg v2.
 
 - Florent Revest has enhanced the MDWE (Memory-Deny-Write-Executable)
   prctl so that userspace may direct the kernel to not automatically
   propagate the denial to child processes.  The series is named "MDWE
   without inheritance".
 
 - Kefeng Wang has provided the series "mm: convert numa balancing
   functions to use a folio" which does what it says.
 
 - In the series "mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl" Stefan Roesch
   makes is possible for a process to propagate KSM treatment across
   exec().
 
 - Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
   distances.  This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use "high
   bandwidth memory" in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent Memory
   Modules (DCPMM).  The series is named "memory tiering: calculate
   abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT"
 
 - In the series "Smart scanning mode for KSM" Stefan Roesch has
   optimized KSM by teaching it to retain and use some historical
   information from previous scans.
 
 - Yosry Ahmed has fixed some inconsistencies in memcg statistics in the
   series "mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates values".
 
 - In the series "Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info about
   PTEs" Peter Xu has added an ioctl to /proc/<pid>/pagemap which permits
   us to atomically read-then-clear page softdirty state.  This is mainly
   used by CRIU.
 
 - Hugh Dickins contributed the series "shmem,tmpfs: general maintenance"
   - a bunch of relatively minor maintenance tweaks to this code.

   Stoakes has simplified and improved the GUP interface with an eye to
   providing groundwork for future improvements.
 
 - Andrey Konovalov has sent along the series "kasan: assorted fixes and
   improvements" which does those things.

   another MM self test which tickles a race we had between madvise() and
   page faults.
 
 - In the series "Add folio_end_read" Matthew Wilcox provides cleanups
   and an optimization to the core pagecache code.
 
 - Nhat Pham has added memcg accounting for hugetlb memory in the series

426ee5196d sysctl-6.7-rc1
To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
 penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
 final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
 work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
 support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
 the sentinel. Both arch and driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit
 less than a month. It is worth re-iterating the value:
 
   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
      memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
     out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
 
 For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the unneeded
 check for procname == NULL.
 
 The last 2 patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen which allow
 us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used to work but the
 alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want to detect softlockups
 super early rather than wait and spend money on cloud solutions with nothing
 but an eventual hung kernel. Although this hadn't gone through linux-next it's
 also a stable fix, so we might as well roll through the fixes now.

8b793bcda6 watchdog: move softlockup_panic back to early_param
Setting softlockup_panic from do_sysctl_args() causes it to take effect
later in boot.  The lockup detector is enabled before SMP is brought
online, but do_sysctl_args runs afterwards.  If a user wants to set
softlockup_panic on boot and have it trigger should a softlockup occur
during onlining of the non-boot processors, they could do this prior to
commit f117955a22 ("kernel/watchdog.c: convert {soft/hard}lockup boot
parameters to sysctl aliases").  However, after this commit the value
of softlockup_panic is set too late to be of help for this type of

8001f49394 proc: sysctl: prevent aliased sysctls from getting passed to init
The code that checks for unknown boot options is unaware of the sysctl
alias facility, which maps bootparams to sysctl values.  If a user sets
an old value that has a valid alias, a message about an invalid
parameter will be printed during boot, and the parameter will get passed
to init.  Fix by checking for the existence of aliased parameters in the
unknown boot parameter code.  If an alias exists, don't return an error
or pass the value to init.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.7.misc' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual fses.

  Features:

   - Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
     are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.

   - Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
     helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
     "unknown-block(1,2)".

   - Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
     endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.

     When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
     the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
     take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
     ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
     up with:

      (1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
      (2) SB_POSIXACL    -> strip umask in filesystem

     The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
     that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
     purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
     Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
     and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
     upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.

     This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
     don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.

     Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
     superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
     handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
     not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
     umask handling always in the vfs.

   - Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.

   - Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
     IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
     very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
     cleanup that was done.

   - Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
     from Amir:

     When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
     and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
     "fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
     the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.

     In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
     backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
     allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
     overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
     fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
     objects that were accessed via overlayfs.

     This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
     new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
     example is commit db1d1e8b98 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
     the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
     IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
     reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.

     This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
     filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
     opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.

     Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
     the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
     crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
     exposed by default.

     This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
     not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
     catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.

     After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
     plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().

   - Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
     change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
     their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.

     Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
     files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
     between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
     extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
     are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
     and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
     rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
     dodgy.

     I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
     in the commit so adding it into the merge message:

       https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230926162228.68666-1-mjguzik@gmail.com

  Cleanups:

   - Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
     that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
     from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
     implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().

   - Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.

   - Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
     iput() is done that would cause issues.

   - Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.

   - Use module helper instead of open-coding it.

   - Predict error unlikely for stale retry.

   - Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
     that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.

  Fixes:

   - Fix readahead on block devices.

   - Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
     is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
     caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
     enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.

   - Convert BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in open_last_lookups()"

ddc1a5cbc0 mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma
Shrink shmem's stack usage by eliminating the pseudo-vma from its folio
allocation.  alloc_pages_mpol(gfp, order, pol, ilx, nid) becomes the
principal actor for passing mempolicy choice down to __alloc_pages(),
rather than vma_alloc_folio(gfp, order, vma, addr, hugepage).

vma_alloc_folio() and alloc_pages() remain, but as wrappers around
alloc_pages_mpol().  alloc_pages_bulk_*() untouched, except to provide the
additional args to policy_nodemask(), which subsumes policy_node(). 
Cleanup throughout, cutting out some unhelpful "helpers".

It would all be much simpler without MPOL_INTERLEAVE, but that adds a
dynamic to the constant mpol: complicated by v3.6 commit 09c231cb8b
("tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes"), which added ino bias
to the interleave, hidden from mm/mempolicy.c until this commit.

Hence "ilx" throughout, the "interleave index".  Originally I thought it
could be done just with nid, but that's wrong: the nodemask may come from
the shared policy layer below a shmem vma, or it may come from the task
layer above a shmem vma; and without the final nodemask then nodeid cannot
be decided.  And how ilx is applied depends also on page order.

The interleave index is almost always irrelevant unless MPOL_INTERLEAVE:
with one exception in alloc_pages_mpol(), where the NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX
passed down from vma-less alloc_pages() is also used as hint not to use
THP-style hugepage allocation - to avoid the overhead of a hugepage arg
(though I don't understand why we never just added a GFP bit for THP - if
it actually needs a different allocation strategy from other pages of the
same order).  vma_alloc_folio() still carries its hugepage arg here, but
it is not used, and should be removed when agreed.

get_vma_policy() no longer allows a NULL vma: over time I believe we've
eradicated all the places which used to need it e.g.  swapoff and madvise
used to pass NULL vma to read_swap_cache_async(), but now know the vma.

fs: create helper file_user_path() for user displayed mapped file path
Overlayfs uses backing files with "fake" overlayfs f_path and "real"
underlying f_inode, in order to use underlying inode aops for mapped
files and to display the overlayfs path in /proc/<pid>/maps.

In preparation for storing the overlayfs "fake" path instead of the
underlying "real" path in struct backing_file, define a noop helper
file_user_path() that returns f_path for now.

Use the new helper in procfs and kernel logs whenever a path of a
mapped file is displayed to users.

file: convert to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU
In recent discussions around some performance improvements in the file
handling area we discussed switching the file cache to rely on
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU which allows us to get rid of call_rcu() based
freeing for files completely. This is a pretty sensitive change overall
but it might actually be worth doing.

The main downside is the subtlety. The other one is that we should
really wait for Jann's patch to land that enables KASAN to handle
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU UAFs. Currently it doesn't but a patch for this
exists.

With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU objects may be freed and reused multiple times
which requires a few changes. So it isn't sufficient anymore to just
acquire a reference to the file in question under rcu using
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() since the file might have already been
recycled and someone else might have bumped the reference.

In other words, callers might see reference count bumps from newer
users. For this reason it is necessary to verify that the pointer is the
same before and after the reference count increment. This pattern can be
seen in get_file_rcu() and __files_get_rcu().

In addition, it isn't possible to access or check fields in struct file
without first aqcuiring a reference on it. Not doing that was always
very dodgy and it was only usable for non-pointer data in struct file.
With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU it is necessary that callers first acquire a
reference under rcu or they must hold the files_lock of the fdtable.
Failing to do either one of this is a bug.

Thanks to Jann for pointing out that we need to ensure memory ordering
between reallocations and pointer check by ensuring that all subsequent
loads have a dependency on the second load in get_file_rcu() and
providing a fixup that was folded into this patch.

clear the info about page table entries. The following operations are
supported in this IOCTL:
- Scan the address range and get the memory ranges matching the provided
  criteria. This is performed when the output buffer is specified.
- Write-protect the pages. The PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING is used to write-protect
  the pages of interest. The PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC aborts the operation if
  non-Async Write Protected pages are found. The ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING``
  can be used with or without PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC.
- Both of those operations can be combined into one atomic operation where
  we can get and write protect the pages as well.

Following flags about pages are currently supported:
- PAGE_IS_WPALLOWED - Page has async-write-protection enabled
- PAGE_IS_WRITTEN - Page has been written to from the time it was write protected
- PAGE_IS_FILE - Page is file backed
- PAGE_IS_PRESENT - Page is present in the memory
- PAGE_IS_SWAPPED - Page is in swapped
- PAGE_IS_PFNZERO - Page has zero PFN
- PAGE_IS_HUGE - Page is THP or Hugetlb backed

This IOCTL can be extended to get information about more PTE bits. The
entire address range passed by user [start, end) is scanned until either
the user provided buffer is full or max_pages have been found.

717c7c894d fs/proc: Add boot loader arguments as comment to /proc/bootconfig
In kernels built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE=y, /proc/cmdline will
show all kernel boot parameters, both those supplied by the boot loader
and those embedded in the kernel image.  This works well for those who
just want to see all of the kernel boot parameters, but is not helpful to
those who need to see only those parameters supplied by the boot loader.
This is especially important when these parameters are presented to the
boot loader by automation that might gather them from diverse sources.
It is also useful when booting the next kernel via kexec(), in which
case it is necessary to supply only those kernel command-line arguments
from the boot loader, and most definitely not those that were embedded
into the current kernel.

Therefore, add comments to /proc/bootconfig of the form:

	# Parameters from bootloader:
	# root=UUID=ac0f0548-a69d-43ca-a06b-7db01bcbd5ad ro quiet ...

The second added line shows only those kernel boot parameters supplied
by the boot loader.

33a9813825 introduce __next_thread(), fix next_tid() vs exec() race
Patch series "introduce __next_thread(), change next_thread()".

After commit dce8f8ed1d ("document while_each_thread(), change
first_tid() to use for_each_thread()") + this series

1. We have only one lockless user of next_thread(), task_group_seq_get_next().
   I think it should be changed too.

2. We have only one user of task_struct->thread_group, thread_group_empty().
   The next patches will change thread_group_empty() and kill ->thread_group.


This patch (of 2):

next_tid(start) does:

	rcu_read_lock();
	if (pid_alive(start)) {
		pos = next_thread(start);
		if (thread_group_leader(pos))
			pos = NULL;
		else
			get_task_struct(pos);

it should return pos = NULL when next_thread() wraps to the 1st thread
in the thread group, group leader, and the thread_group_leader() check
tries to detect this case.

But this can race with exec. To simplify, suppose we have a main thread
M and a single sub-thread T, next_tid(T) should return NULL.

Now suppose that T execs. If next_tid(T) is called after T changes the
leadership and before it does release_task() which removes the old leader
from list, then next_thread() returns M and thread_group_leader(M) = F.

Lockless use of next_thread() should be avoided. After this change only
task_group_seq_get_next() does this, and I believe it should be changed
as well.

e538a58209 proc/kcore: do not try to access unaccepted memory
Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual
machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not try to access unaccepted memory because it can cause the guest to
fail.

For /proc/kcore, which is read-only and does not support mmap, this means a
read of unaccepted memory will return zeros.

fe44198016 proc: nommu: fix empty /proc/<pid>/maps
On no-MMU, /proc/<pid>/maps reads as an empty file.  This happens because
find_vma(mm, 0) always returns NULL (assuming no vma actually contains the
zero address, which is normally the case).

To fix this bug and improve the maintainability in the future, this patch
makes the no-MMU implementation as similar as possible to the MMU
implementation.

The only remaining differences are the lack of hold/release_task_mempolicy
and the extra code to shoehorn the gate vma into the iterator.

This has been tested on top of 6.5.3 on an STM32F746.

578d7699e5 proc: nommu: /proc/<pid>/maps: release mmap read lock
The no-MMU implementation of /proc/<pid>/map doesn't normally release
the mmap read lock, because it uses !IS_ERR_OR_NULL(_vml) to determine
whether to release the lock.  Since _vml is NULL when the end of the
mappings is reached, the lock is not released.

Reading /proc/1/maps twice doesn't cause a hang because it only
takes the read lock, which can be taken multiple times and therefore
doesn't show any problem if the lock isn't released. Instead, you need
to perform some operation that attempts to take the write lock after
reading /proc/<pid>/maps. To actually reproduce the bug, compile the
following code as 'proc_maps_bug':

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
        void *buf;
        sleep(1);
        buf = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
        puts("mmap returned");
        return 0;
}

Then, run:

  ./proc_maps_bug &; cat /proc/$!/maps; fg

Without this patch, mmap() will hang and the command will never
complete.
	
This code was incorrectly adapted from the MMU implementation, which at
the time released the lock in m_next() before returning the last entry.

The MMU implementation has diverged further from the no-MMU version since
then, so this patch brings their locking and error handling into sync,
fixing the bug and hopefully avoiding similar issues in the future.

8b47933544 proc/ksm: add ksm stats to /proc/pid/smaps
With madvise and prctl KSM can be enabled for different VMA's.  Once it is
enabled we can query how effective KSM is overall.  However we cannot
easily query if an individual VMA benefits from KSM.

This commit adds a KSM section to the /prod/<pid>/smaps file.  It reports
how many of the pages are KSM pages.  Note that KSM-placed zeropages are
not included, only actual KSM pages.

Here is a typical output:

This information also helps with the following workflow:
- First enable KSM for all the VMA's of a process with prctl.
- Then analyze with the above smaps report which VMA's benefit the most
- Change the application (if possible) to add the corresponding madvise
calls for the VMA's that benefit the most

  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"

adfd671676 sysctl-6.6-rc1
Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and
 placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts.
 Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as
 well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl
 entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the
 kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved.
 
 Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of
 kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move.
 
 The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being
 done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly
 painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of
 each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does
 most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to
 be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the
 amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.
 
 To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping
 needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest
 of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future
 kernel releases.
 
 At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series,
 posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have
 received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the
 entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are
 networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too.
 
 The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build
 time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about
 ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future.
 That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes
 per array moved as no new sentinels are created.
 
 Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took
 a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback.

Pull procfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "Mode changes to files under /proc/<pid>/ aren't supported ever since
  commit 6d76fa58b0 ("Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files").

  Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e39a ("procfs: fix pthread
  cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD,
  mode changes on /proc/thread-self/comm were accidently allowed.

  Similar, mode changes for all files beneath /proc/<pid>/net/ are
  blocked but mode changes on /proc/<pid>/net itself were accidently
  allowed.

  Both issues come down to not using the generic proc_setattr() helper
  which blocks all mode changes. This is rectified with this pull
  request.

  This also removes a strange nolibc test that abused /proc/<pid>/net
  for testing mode changes. Using procfs for this test never made a lot
  of sense given procfs has special semantics for almost everything
  anway.

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
  xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
  filesystems.

  The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
  and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
  to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
  jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

  Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
  NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
  can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
  client decide to invalidate the cache.

  Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
  a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
  granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
  (e.g., backup applications).

  If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
  the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
  filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

  This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
  actively queried.

  This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
  something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
  is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
  fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.

  As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
  must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
  only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.

  Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
  the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
  coarse-grained timestamps.

  Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:

   - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
     together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
     maintainers provided necessary Acks.

   - Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
     callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
     gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
     as requiring accessors.

   - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
     sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
     mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.

   - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
     parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.

   - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
     removing a bunch of open-coding"

dce8f8ed1d document while_each_thread(), change first_tid() to use for_each_thread()
Add the comment to explain that while_each_thread(g,t) is not rcu-safe
unless g is stable (e.g.  current).  Even if g is a group leader and thus
can't exit before t, t or another sub-thread can exec and remove g from
the thread_group list.

The only lockless user of while_each_thread() is first_tid() and it is
fine in that it can't loop forever, yet for_each_thread() looks better and
I am going to change while_each_thread/next_thread.

49b0638502 mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk
walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. 
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas.  Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.

The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks.  With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them.  The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.

A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration.  Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

8b9c1cc041 smaps: use vm_normal_page_pmd() instead of follow_trans_huge_pmd()
We shouldn't be using a GUP-internal helper if it can be avoided.

Similar to smaps_pte_entry() that uses vm_normal_page(), let's use
vm_normal_page_pmd() that similarly refuses to return the huge zeropage.

In contrast to follow_trans_huge_pmd(), vm_normal_page_pmd():

(1) Will always return the head page, not a tail page of a THP.

 If we'd ever call smaps_account with a tail page while setting "compound
 = true", we could be in trouble, because smaps_account() would look at
 the memmap of unrelated pages.

 If we're unlucky, that memmap does not exist at all. Before we removed
 PG_doublemap, we could have triggered something similar as in
 commit 24d7275ce2 ("fs/proc: task_mmu.c: don't read mapcount for
 migration entry").

 This can theoretically happen ever since commit ff9f47f6f0 ("mm: proc:
 smaps_rollup: do not stall write attempts on mmap_lock"):

  (a) We're in show_smaps_rollup() and processed a VMA
  (b) We release the mmap lock in show_smaps_rollup() because it is
      contended
  (c) We merged that VMA with another VMA
  (d) We collapsed a THP in that merged VMA at that position

 If the end address of the original VMA falls into the middle of a THP
 area, we would call smap_gather_stats() with a start address that falls
 into a PMD-mapped THP. It's probably very rare to trigger when not
 really forced.

(2) Will succeed on a is_pci_p2pdma_page(), like vm_normal_page()

 Treat such PMDs here just like smaps_pte_entry() would treat such PTEs.
 If such pages would be anonymous, we most certainly would want to
 account them.

(3) Will skip over pmd_devmap(), like vm_normal_page() for pte_devmap()

 As noted in vm_normal_page(), that is only for handling legacy ZONE_DEVICE
 pages. So just like smaps_pte_entry(), we'll now also ignore such PMD
 entries.

 Especially, follow_pmd_mask() never ends up calling
 follow_trans_huge_pmd() on pmd_devmap(). Instead it calls
 follow_devmap_pmd() -- which will fail if neither FOLL_GET nor FOLL_PIN
 is set.

 So skipping pmd_devmap() pages seems to be the right thing to do.

(4) Will properly handle VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP, like vm_normal_page()

 We won't be returning a memmap that should be ignored by core-mm, or
 worse, a memmap that does not even exist. Note that while
 walk_page_range() will skip VM_PFNMAP mappings, walk_page_vma() won't.

 Most probably this case doesn't currently really happen on the PMD level,
 otherwise we'd already be able to trigger kernel crashes when reading
 smaps / smaps_rollup.

So most probably only (1) is relevant in practice as of now, but could only
cause trouble in extreme corner cases.

Let's move follow_trans_huge_pmd() to mm/internal.h to discourage future
reuse in wrong context.

6080d19f07 ksm: add ksm zero pages for each process
As the number of ksm zero pages is not included in ksm_merging_pages per
process when enabling use_zero_pages, it's unclear of how many actual
pages are merged by KSM. To let users accurately estimate their memory
demands when unsharing KSM zero-pages, it's necessary to show KSM zero-
pages per process. In addition, it help users to know the actual KSM
profit because KSM-placed zero pages are also benefit from KSM.

since unsharing zero pages placed by KSM accurately is achieved, then
tracking empty pages merging and unmerging is not a difficult thing any
longer.

Since we already have /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, just add the information of
'ksm_zero_pages' in it.

53f3811dfd sysctl: Use ctl_table_size as stopping criteria for list macro
This is a preparation commit to make it easy to remove the sentinel
elements (empty end markers) from the ctl_table arrays. It both allows
the systematic removal of the sentinels and adds the ctl_table_size
variable to the stopping criteria of the list_for_each_table_entry macro
that traverses all ctl_table arrays. Once all the sentinels are removed
by subsequent commits, ctl_table_size will become the only stopping
criteria in the macro. We don't actually remove any elements in this
commit, but it sets things up to for the removal process to take place.

By adding header->ctl_table_size as an additional stopping criteria for
the list_for_each_table_entry macro, it will execute until it finds an
"empty" ->procname or until the size runs out. Therefore if a ctl_table
array with a sentinel is passed its size will be too big (by one
element) but it will stop on the sentinel. On the other hand, if the
ctl_table array without a sentinel is passed its size will be just write
and there will be no need for a sentinel.

This commit adds table_size to register_sysctl in preparation for the
removal of the sentinel elements in the ctl_table arrays (last empty
markers). And though we do *not* remove any sentinels in this commit, we
set things up by either passing the table_size explicitly or using
ARRAY_SIZE on the ctl_table arrays.

We replace the register_syctl function with a macro that will add the
ARRAY_SIZE to the new register_sysctl_sz function. In this way the
callers that are already using an array of ctl_table structs do not
change. For the callers that pass a ctl_table array pointer, we pass the
table_size to register_sysctl_sz instead of the macro.

bff97cf11b sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table
We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.

We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.

The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.
