Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" (Oleg Nesterov)

Make creation of init in a new namespace more robust by clearing away
some historical cruft which is no longer needed. Also some
documentation fixups

- "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general" (Mark Brown)

Fix and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall selftest

- "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up" (Andy Shevchenko)

- "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for hung task detector"
(Aaron Tomlin)

Give administrators the ability to zero out
/proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count

- "tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers from
tools/include/uapi" (Thomas Weißschuh)

Teach getdelays to use the in-kernel UAPI headers rather than the
system-provided ones

- "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup" (Mayank Rungta)

Several cleanups and fixups to the hardlockup detector code and its
documentation

- "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed left-shifts" (Josh Law)

A couple of small/theoretical fixes in the bch code

- "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()" (Junrui Luo)

- "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)

A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
quote Christoph:

"The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
code.

Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
overhead"

- "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds"
(Kuan-Wei Chiu)

Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added
for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need

- "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt)

Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the
now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself

- "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and
PowerPC" (Coiby Xu)

Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and
powerpc

- "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks"
(Joseph Qi)

Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent
list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!)

powerpc/net: Inline checksum wrappers and convert to scoped user access

Commit 861574d51bbd ("powerpc/uaccess: Implement masked user access")
provides optimised user access by avoiding the cost of access_ok().

Convert csum_and_copy_to_user() and csum_and_copy_from_user() to
scoped user access to benefit from masked user access.

csum_and_copy_to_user() and csum_and_copy_from_user() are only
called respectively by csum_and_copy_to_iter() and
csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() and they are only called twice.

Those functions used to be large but they were first reduced by
commit c693cc4676a0 ("saner calling conventions for
csum_and_copy_..._user()") then commit 70d65cd555c5 ("ppc: propagate
the calling conventions change down to csum_partial_copy_generic()").
With the additional size reduction provided by conversion to scoped
user access they are not worth being kept out of line.

Merge tag 'libcrypto-updates-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.17. The main focus
this cycle is on reorganizing the SHA-1 and SHA-2 code, providing
high-quality library APIs for SHA-1 and SHA-2 including HMAC support,
and establishing conventions for lib/crypto/ going forward:

- Migrate the SHA-1 and SHA-512 code (and also SHA-384 which shares
most of the SHA-512 code) into lib/crypto/. This includes both the
generic and architecture-optimized code. Greatly simplify how the
architecture-optimized code is integrated. Add an easy-to-use
library API for each SHA variant, including HMAC support. Finally,
reimplement the crypto_shash support on top of the library API.

- Apply the same reorganization to the SHA-256 code (and also SHA-224
which shares most of the SHA-256 code). This is a somewhat smaller
change, due to my earlier work on SHA-256. But this brings in all
the same additional improvements that I made for SHA-1 and SHA-512.

There are also some smaller changes:

- Move the architecture-optimized ChaCha, Poly1305, and BLAKE2s code
from arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/crypto/ to lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/. For
these algorithms it's just a move, not a full reorganization yet.

- Fix the MIPS chacha-core.S to build with the clang assembler.

- Fix the Poly1305 functions to work in all contexts.

- Fix a performance regression in the x86_64 Poly1305 code.

- Clean up the x86_64 SHA-NI optimized SHA-1 assembly code.

Note that since the new organization of the SHA code is much simpler,
the diffstat of this pull request is negative, despite the addition of
new fully-documented library APIs for multiple SHA and HMAC-SHA
variants.

These APIs will allow further simplifications across the kernel as
users start using them instead of the old-school crypto API. (I've
already written a lot of such conversion patches, removing over 1000
more lines of code. But most of those will target 6.18 or later)"

lib/crc: powerpc: Migrate optimized CRC code into lib/crc/

Move the powerpc-optimized CRC code from arch/powerpc/lib/crc* into its
new location in lib/crc/powerpc/, and wire it up in the new way. This
new way of organizing the CRC code eliminates the need to artificially
split the code for each CRC variant into separate arch and generic
modules, enabling better inlining and dead code elimination. For more
details, see "lib/crc: Prepare for arch-optimized code in subdirs of
lib/crc/".

lib/crypto: powerpc: Move arch/powerpc/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/

Move the contents of arch/powerpc/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/powerpc/.

The new code organization makes a lot more sense for how this code
actually works and is developed. In particular, it makes it possible to
build each algorithm as a single module, with better inlining and dead
code elimination. For a more detailed explanation, see the patchset
which did this for the CRC library code:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250607200454.73587-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/.
Also see the patchset which did this for SHA-512:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250616014019.415791-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/

This is just a preparatory commit, which does the move to get the files
into their new location but keeps them building the same way as before.
Later commits will make the actual improvements to the way the
arch-optimized code is integrated for each algorithm.

powerpc/crc: drop "glue" from filenames

The use of the term "glue" in filenames is a Crypto API-ism that rarely
shows up elsewhere in lib/ or arch/*/lib/. I think adopting it there
was a mistake. The library just uses standard functions, so the amount
of code that could be considered "glue" is quite small. And while often
the C functions just wrap the assembly functions, there are also cases
like crc32c_arch() in arch/x86/lib/crc32-glue.c that blur the line by
in-lining the actual implementation into the C function. That's not
"glue code", but rather the actual code.

Therefore, let's drop "glue" from the filenames and instead use e.g.
crc32.c instead of crc32-glue.c.

powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y

crtsavres.o is linked to modules. However, as explained in commit
d0e628cd817f ("kbuild: doc: clarify the difference between extra-y
and always-y"), 'make modules' does not build extra-y.

For example, the following command fails:

$ make ARCH=powerpc LLVM=1 KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1 mrproper ps3_defconfig modules

powerpc: Drop zalloc_maybe_bootmem()

The only callers of zalloc_maybe_bootmem() are PCI setup routines. These
used to be called early during boot before slab setup, and also during
runtime due to hotplug.

But commit 5537fcb319d0 ("powerpc/pci: Add ppc_md.discover_phbs()")
moved the boot-time calls later, after slab setup, meaning there's no
longer any need for zalloc_maybe_bootmem(), kzalloc() can be used in all
cases.

the

powerpc/kasan: Don't instrument non-maskable or raw interrupts

Disable address sanitization for raw and non-maskable interrupt
handlers, because they can run in real mode, where we cannot access
the shadow memory. (Note that kasan_arch_is_ready() doesn't test for
real mode, since it is a static branch for speed, and in any case not
all the entry points to the generic KASAN code are protected by
kasan_arch_is_ready guards.)

The changes to interrupt_nmi_enter/exit_prepare() look larger than
they actually are. The changes are equivalent to adding
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN) to the conditions for calling nmi_enter() or
nmi_exit() in real mode. That is, the code is equivalent to using the
following condition for calling nmi_enter/exit:

if (((!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64) ||
!firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_LPAR) ||
radix_enabled()) &&
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN) ||
(mfmsr() & MSR_DR))

That unwieldy condition has been split into several statements with
comments, for easier reading.

The nmi_ipi_lock functions that call atomic functions (i.e.,
nmi_ipi_lock_start(), nmi_ipi_lock() and nmi_ipi_unlock()), besides
being marked noinstr, now call arch_atomic_* functions instead of
atomic_* functions because with KASAN enabled, the atomic_* functions
are wrappers which explicitly do address sanitization on their
arguments. Since we are trying to avoid address sanitization, we have
to use the lower-level arch_atomic_* versions.

In hv_nmi_check_nonrecoverable(), the regs_set_unrecoverable() call
has been open-coded so as to avoid having to either trust the inlining
or mark regs_set_unrecoverable() as noinstr.

powerpc: Only build restart_table.c for 64s

Commit 9b69d48c7516 ("powerpc/64e: remove implicit soft-masking and
interrupt exit restart logic") limited the implicit soft masking and
restart logic to 64-bit Book3S only. However we are still building
restart_table.c for all 64-bit, ie. Book3E also.

There's no need to build it for 64e, and it also causes missing
prototype warnings for 64e builds, because the prototype is already
behind an #ifdef PPC_BOOK3S_64.

powerpc/64: allow alternate return locations for soft-masked interrupts

The exception table fixup adjusts a failed page fault's interrupt return
location if it was taken at an address specified in the exception table,
to a corresponding fixup handler address.

Introduce a variation of that idea which adds a fixup table for NMIs and
soft-masked asynchronous interrupts. This will be used to protect
certain critical sections that are sensitive to being clobbered by
interrupts coming in (due to using the same SPRs and/or irq soft-mask
state).
