ASoC: Fixes for v6.12

A bunch of fixes here that came in during the merge window and the first
week of release, plus some new quirks and device IDs. There's nothing
major here, it's a bit bigger than it might've been due to there being
no fixes sent during the merge window due to your vacation.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.misc' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.misc' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual pile of misc updates:

Features:

- Add F_CREATED_QUERY fcntl() that allows userspace to query whether
a file was actually created. Often userspace wants to know whether
an O_CREATE request did actually create a file without using
O_EXCL. The current logic is that to first attempts to open the
file without O_CREAT | O_EXCL and if ENOENT is returned userspace
tries again with both flags. If that succeeds all is well. If it
now reports EEXIST it retries.

That works fairly well but some corner cases make this more
involved. If this operates on a dangling symlink the first openat()
without O_CREAT | O_EXCL will return ENOENT but the second openat()
with O_CREAT | O_EXCL will fail with EEXIST.

The reason is that openat() without O_CREAT | O_EXCL follows the
symlink while O_CREAT | O_EXCL doesn't for security reasons. So
it's not something we can really change unless we add an explicit
opt-in via O_FOLLOW which seems really ugly.

All available workarounds are really nasty (fanotify, bpf lsm etc)
so add a simple fcntl().

- Try an opportunistic lookup for O_CREAT. Today, when opening a file
we'll typically do a fast lookup, but if O_CREAT is set, the kernel
always takes the exclusive inode lock. This was likely done with
the expectation that O_CREAT means that we always expect to do the
create, but that's often not the case. Many programs set O_CREAT
even in scenarios where the file already exists (see related
F_CREATED_QUERY patch motivation above).

The series contained in the pr rearranges the pathwalk-for-open
code to also attempt a fast_lookup in certain O_CREAT cases. If a
positive dentry is found, the inode_lock can be avoided altogether
and it can stay in rcuwalk mode for the last step_into.

- Expose the 64 bit mount id via name_to_handle_at()

Now that we provide a unique 64-bit mount ID interface in statx(2),
we can now provide a race-free way for name_to_handle_at(2) to
provide a file handle and corresponding mount without needing to
worry about racing with /proc/mountinfo parsing or having to open a
file just to do statx(2).

While this is not necessary if you are using AT_EMPTY_PATH and
don't care about an extra statx(2) call, users that pass full paths
into name_to_handle_at(2) need to know which mount the file handle
comes from (to make sure they don't try to open_by_handle_at a file
handle from a different filesystem) and switching to AT_EMPTY_PATH
would require allocating a file for every name_to_handle_at(2) call

- Add a per dentry expire timeout to autofs

There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs
format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley).

Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that
implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done
within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't
implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra
kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the
existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes
with a wider scope to be considered later.

One of these changes is implementing the amd options:
1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as
the current autofs default).
2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the
autofs timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) .
3) "utimeout=<seconds>", expire this mount using the specified
timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for
this mount)

To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be
implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map
keys (mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout
stored in the autofs mount super block info. structure and all
indirect mounts use the same expire timeout.

Fixes:

- Fix missing fput for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in autofs

- Use param->file for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in coda

- Delete the 'fs/netfs' proc subtreee when netfs module exits

- Make sure that struct uid_gid_map fits into a single cacheline

- Don't flush in-flight wb switches for superblocks without cgroup
writeback

- Correcting the idmapping mount example in the idmapping
documentation

- Fix a race between evice_inodes() and find_inode() and iput()

- Refine the show_inode_state() macro definition in writeback code

- Prevent dump_mapping() from accessing invalid dentry.d_name.name

- Show actual source for debugfs in /proc/mounts

- Annotate data-race of busy_poll_usecs in eventpoll

- Don't WARN for racy path_noexec check in exec code

- Handle OOM on mnt_warn_timestamp_expiry()

- Fix some spelling in the iomap design documentation

- Fix typo in procfs comment

- Fix typo in fs/namespace.c comment

Cleanups:

- Add the VFS git tree to the MAINTAINERS file

- Move FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to fop_flags freeing up another f_mode
bit in struct file bringing us to 5 free f_mode bits

- Remove the __I_DIO_WAKEUP bit from i_state flags as we can simplify
the wait mechanism

- Remove the unused path_put_init() helper

- Replace a __u32 with u32 for s_fsnotify_mask as __u32 is uapi
specific

- Replace the unsigned long i_state member with a u32 i_state member
in struct inode freeing up 4 bytes in struct inode. Instead of
using the bit based wait apis we're now using the var event apis
and using the individual bytes of the i_state member to wait on
state changes

- Explain how per-syscall AT_* flags should be allocated

- Use in_group_or_capable() helper to simplify the posix acl mode
update code

- Switch to LIST_HEAD() in fsync_buffers_list() to simplify the code

- Removed comment about d_rcu_to_refcount() as that function doesn't
exist anymore

- Add kernel documentation for lookup_fast()

- Don't re-zero evenpoll fields

- Remove outdated comment after close_fd()

- Fix imprecise wording in comment about the pipe filesystem

- Drop GFP_NOFAIL mode from alloc_page_buffers

- Missing blank line warnings and struct declaration improved in
file_table

- Annotate struct poll_list with __counted_by()

- Remove the unused read parameter in percpu-rwsem

- Remove linux/prefetch.h include from direct-io code

- Use kmemdup_array instead of kmemdup for multiple allocation in
mnt_idmapping code

- Remove unused mnt_cursor_del() declaration

Performance tweaks:

- Dodge smp_mb in break_lease and break_deleg in the common case

- Only read fops once in fops_{get,put}()

- Use RCU in ilookup()

- Elide smp_mb in iversion handling in the common case

- Drop one lock trip in evict()"

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
"The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
Notable series include:

- Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()

Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
/proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

- Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
largely similar code sites.

- In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
efficiency.

- In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

- Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
memory almost met memcg limit".

- In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
performance improvement in one test.

- Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
free_area_init_core()".

- Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
"mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

- MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
follow_pfn".

- More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
page->flags cleanups".

- Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

- More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
"khugepaged folio conversions"
"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
"Use folio APIs in procfs"
"Clean up __folio_put()"
"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
"Remove page_mapping()"
"More folio compat code removal"

- David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
hugetlb functions to work on folis".

- Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

- Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

- Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

- Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
"support multi-size THP numa balancing".

- Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

- Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
"selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
memory types works as intended.

- David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
follow_pte() fixes".

mm: switch mm->get_unmapped_area() to a flag

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.

Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.

Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.

Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.

The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.

In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.
