Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko)
fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c

- "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight)
enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up
the test module for these library functions

- "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB" (Ilya Leoshkevich)
makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB
debugger

- "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on demand" (Feng Tang)
adds a sysctl which can be used to cause additional info dumping when
the hung-task and lockup detectors fire

- "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users" (Kuan-Wei Chiu)
adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/ and migrates several
users away from their private implementations

- "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" (Eric Dumazet)
makes TCP a little faster

- "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin)
reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update
Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients

- "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

- "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:

This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.

Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.

- "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
/sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
hopefully be removed one day

- "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
regions

an

vmcoreinfo: track and log recoverable hardware errors

Introduce a generic infrastructure for tracking recoverable hardware
errors (HW errors that are visible to the OS but does not cause a panic)
and record them for vmcore consumption. This aids post-mortem crash
analysis tools by preserving a count and timestamp for the last occurrence
of such errors. On the other side, correctable errors, which the OS
typically remains unaware of because the underlying hardware handles them
transparently, are less relevant for crash dump and therefore are NOT
tracked in this infrastructure.

Add centralized logging for sources of recoverable hardware errors based
on the subsystem it has been notified.

hwerror_data is write-only at kernel runtime, and it is meant to be read
from vmcore using tools like crash/drgn. For example, this is how it
looks like when opening the crashdump from drgn.

>>> prog['hwerror_data']
(struct hwerror_info[1]){
{
.count = (int)844,
.timestamp = (time64_t)1752852018,
},
...

This helps fleet operators quickly triage whether a crash may be
influenced by hardware recoverable errors (which executes a uncommon code
path in the kernel), especially when recoverable errors occurred shortly
before a panic, such as the bug fixed by commit ee62ce7a1d90 ("page_pool:
Track DMA-mapped pages and unmap them when destroying the pool")

This is not intended to replace full hardware diagnostics but provides a
fast way to correlate hardware events with kernel panics quickly.

Rare machine check exceptions—like those indicated by mce_flags.p5 or
mce_flags.winchip—are not accounted for in this method, as they fall
outside the intended usage scope for this feature's user base.
