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

kho: remove abort functionality and support state refresh

kho: remove abort functionality and support state refresh

Previously, KHO required a dedicated kho_abort() function to clean up
state before kho_finalize() could be called again. This was necessary to
handle complex unwind paths when using notifiers.

With the shift to direct memory preservation, the explicit abort step is
no longer strictly necessary.

Remove kho_abort() and refactor kho_finalize() to handle re-entry. If
kho_finalize() is called while KHO is already finalized, it will now
automatically clean up the previous memory map and state before generating
a new one. This allows the KHO state to be updated/refreshed simply by
triggering finalize again.

Update debugfs to return -EINVAL if userspace attempts to write 0 to the
finalize attribute, as explicit abort is no longer supported.
