Merge tag 'integrity-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity

Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
"There are two main changes, one feature removal, some code cleanup,
and a number of bug fixes.

Main changes:
- Detecting secure boot mode was limited to IMA. Make detecting
secure boot mode accessible to EVM and other LSMs
- IMA sigv3 support was limited to fsverity. Add IMA sigv3 support
for IMA regular file hashes and EVM portable signatures

Remove:
- Remove IMA support for asychronous hash calculation originally
added for hardware acceleration

Cleanup:
- Remove unnecessary Kconfig CONFIG_MODULE_SIG and CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG
tests
- Add descriptions of the IMA atomic flags

Bug fixes:
- Like IMA, properly limit EVM "fix" mode
- Define and call evm_fix_hmac() to update security.evm
- Fallback to using i_version to detect file change for filesystems
that do not support STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE
- Address missing kernel support for configured (new) TPM hash
algorithms
- Add missing crypto_shash_final() return value"

mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE

Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE and cleanup
CONFIG_MIGRATION".

While working on memory hotplug code cleanups, I realized

mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE

Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE and cleanup
CONFIG_MIGRATION".

While working on memory hotplug code cleanups, I realized that
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is not really required anymore.

Changing that revealed some rather nasty looking CONFIG_MIGRATION
handling.

Let's clean that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION
option and reducing the dependencies that CONFIG_MIGRATION has.


This patch (of 2):

All architectures that select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE also
select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG. So we can just remove
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.

For CONFIG_MIGRATION, make it depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE instead,
and make CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE select CONFIG_MIGRATION (just like
CONFIG_CMA and CONFIG_COMPACTION already do).

We'll clean up CONFIG_MIGRATION next.

Commit e65e1fc2d24b ("[PATCH] syscall class hookup for all normal

support for bi-arch like powerpc.

Commit 4b58841149dc ("audit: Add generic compat syscall support")
added generic support for bi-arch.

Convert powerpc to that bi-arch generic audit support.

With this change generated text is similar.

This uses _RPAGE_SW2 bit for the PMD and PUDs similar to PTEs.
This also adds support for {pte,pmd,pud}_pgprot helpers needed for

This allows us to extend the PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger, to map at PMD / PUD level.
VFIO PCI core driver already supports fault handling at PMD / PUD level
for more efficient BAR mappings.

Introduce a Kconfig symbol, CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_GET_SECUREBOOT, to indicate
that an architecture provides a definition of arch_get_secureboot().
Provide a static inline stub when this symbol is not defined to achieve
the same effect as the __weak function, allowing secure_boot.c to be
removed altogether. Move the s390 definition of arch_get_secureboot()
out of the CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE block to ensure it is always available, as

powerpc/mm: support page table check

On creation and clearing of a page table mapping, instrument such calls by
invoking page_table_check_pte_set and page_table_check_pte_clear
respectively. These calls serve as a sanity check against illegal
mappings.

Enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK on powerpc, except when HUGETLB_PAGE
is enabled (powerpc has some weirdness in how it implements
set_huge_pte_at(), which may require some further work).

powerpc/32: Automatically adapt TASK_SIZE based on constraints

At the time being, TASK_SIZE can be customized by the user via Kconfig
but it is not possible to check all constraints in Kconfig. Impossible
setups are detected at compile time with BUILD_BUG() but that leads
to build failure when setting crazy values. It is not a problem on its
own because the user will usually either use the default value or set
a well thought value. However build robots generate crazy random
configs that lead to build failures, and build robots see it as a
regression every time a patch adds such a constraint.

So instead of failing the build when the custom TASK_SIZE is too
big, just adjust it to the maximum possible value matching the setup.

Several architectures already calculate TASK_SIZE based on other
parameters and options.

In order to do so, move MODULES_VADDR calculation into task_size_32.h
and ensure that:
- On book3s/32, userspace and module area have their own segments (256M)
- On 8xx, userspace has its own full PGDIR entries (4M)

Then TASK_SIZE is guaranteed to be correct so remove related
BUILD_BUG()s.

mm: fix MAX_FOLIO_ORDER on powerpc configs with hugetlb

In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support
runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios. In the meantime it evolved
into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic
hugetlb folios.

In commit fae7d834c43c ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could
have folios larger than what the buddy can handle. In the context of that
commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when
dumping tail pages of folios. Before that commit, we assumed that we
cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was
obviously wrong.

In commit 7b4f21f5e038 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes
when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect
inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now.

Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot
(not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can
exceed PUD_ORDER.

To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with
hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16
GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit
(powerpc). Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually
have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER,
but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally:
we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in
__dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in
the system.

Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size
and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios. Let's
defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first.

While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up
creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.

Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer.
In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE.

Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now
also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs.
I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through
__HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED.

While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling
dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem
critical enough to mark it as a fix.

kasan: introduce ARCH_DEFER_KASAN and unify static key across modes

Patch series "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
implementations", v6.

This patch series addresses the fragmentation in KASAN initialization
across architectures by introducing a unified approach that eliminates
duplicate static keys and arch-specific kasan_arch_is_ready()
implementations.

The core issue is that different architectures have inconsistent approaches
to KASAN readiness tracking:
- PowerPC, LoongArch, and UML arch, each implement own kasan_arch_is_ready()
- Only HW_TAGS mode had a unified static key (kasan_flag_enabled)
- Generic and SW_TAGS modes relied on arch-specific solutions
or always-on behavior


This patch (of 2):

Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_DEFER_KASAN to identify architectures [1] that need
to defer KASAN initialization until shadow memory is properly set up, and
unify the static key infrastructure across all KASAN modes.

[1] PowerPC, UML, LoongArch selects ARCH_DEFER_KASAN.

The core issue is that different architectures haveinconsistent approaches
to KASAN readiness tracking:
- PowerPC, LoongArch, and UML arch, each implement own
kasan_arch_is_ready()
- Only HW_TAGS mode had a unified static key (kasan_flag_enabled)
- Generic and SW_TAGS modes relied on arch-specific solutions or always-on
behavior

This patch addresses the fragmentation in KASAN initialization across
architectures by introducing a unified approach that eliminates duplicate
static keys and arch-specific kasan_arch_is_ready() implementations.

Let's replace kasan_arch_is_ready() with existing kasan_enabled() check,
which examines the static key being enabled if arch selects
ARCH_DEFER_KASAN or has HW_TAGS mode support. For other arch,
kasan_enabled() checks the enablement during compile time.

Now KASAN users can use a single kasan_enabled() check everywhere.

fprobe_header encoding feature"), asm/fprobe.h header is needed to
define arch dependent encode/decode macros. The fprobe header MSB
pattern on powerpc is not 0xf. So, define FPROBE_HEADER_MSB_PATTERN
expected on powerpc.

Also, commit 762abbc0d09f ("fprobe: Use ftrace_regs in fprobe exit
handler") introduced HAVE_FTRACE_REGS_HAVING_PT_REGS for archs that
have pt_regs in ftrace_regs. Advertise that on powerpc to reuse
common definitions like ftrace_partial_regs().

powerpc/ftrace: support CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL

commit a1be9ccc57f0 ("function_graph: Support recording and printing the
return value of function") introduced support for function graph return
value tracing.

Additionally, commit a3ed4157b7d8 ("fgraph: Replace fgraph_ret_regs with
ftrace_regs") further refactored and optimized the implementation,
making `struct fgraph_ret_regs` unnecessary.

This patch enables the above modifications for powerpc all, ensuring that
function graph return value tracing is available on this architecture.

In this patch we have redefined two functions:
- 'ftrace_regs_get_return_value()' - the existing implementation on
ppc returns -ve of return value based on some conditions not
relevant to our patch.
- 'ftrace_regs_get_frame_pointer()' - always returns 0 in current code .

We also allocate stack space to equivalent of 'SWITCH_FRAME_SIZE',
allowing us to directly use predefined offsets like 'GPR3' and 'GPR4'
this keeps code clean and consistent with already defined offsets .

After this patch, v6.14+ kernel can also be built with FPROBE on powerpc
but there are a few other build and runtime dependencies for FPROBE to
work properly. The next patch addresses them.

sched/fair: Get rid of sched_domains_curr_level hack for tl->cpumask()

Leon [1] and Vinicius [2] noted a topology_span_sane() warning during
their testing starting from v6.16-rc1. Debug that followed pointed to
the tl->mask() for the NODE domain being incorrectly resolved to that of
the highest NUMA domain.

tl->mask() for NODE is set to the sd_numa_mask() which depends on the
global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack. "sched_domains_curr_level" is
set to the "tl->numa_level" during tl traversal in build_sched_domains()
calling sd_init() but was not reset before topology_span_sane().

Since "tl->numa_level" still reflected the old value from
build_sched_domains(), topology_span_sane() for the NODE domain trips
when the span of the last NUMA domain overlaps.

Instead of replicating the "sched_domains_curr_level" hack, get rid of
it entirely and instead, pass the entire "sched_domain_topology_level"
object to tl->cpumask() function to prevent such mishap in the future.

sd_numa_mask() now directly references "tl->numa_level" instead of
relying on the global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack to index into
sched_domains_numa_masks[].

The original warning was reproducible on the following NUMA topology
reported by Leon:

$ sudo numactl -H
available: 5 nodes (0-4)
node 0 cpus: 0 1
node 0 size: 2927 MB

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
"cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.

I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

"mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
VMAs.

"mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
DAMON in production environments.

"stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
pointers from struct writeback_control.

"drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
management code.

"mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

"Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
into order>0 folios.

"selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
selftests code.

"Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.

"Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

"mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.

"mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.

"use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
types.

"mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
code.

"mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.

"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
sysfs layer.

"madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.

"madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.

"Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
on/offline notifier.

"Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

"selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

"Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

"cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
allocator.

"mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

"mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
does that.

"mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
also does what it claims.

"mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.

"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
policy.

"Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.

"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.

"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.

"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.

"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().

"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.

"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.

"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
directly.

"use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

"__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
cleans up __folio_split()!

"Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.

"selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

"tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.

"selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
subset"

Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not

Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
working as expected.

- Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it

As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.

- Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD

The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it
redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

- Make pid_ptr string size match the comment

In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the
comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.
