Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
 "Improve the behavior during panic. The issues were found when testing
  the ongoing changes introducing atomic consoles and printk kthreads:

   - pr_flush() has to wait for the last reserved record instead of the
     last finalized one. Note that records are finalized in random order
     when generated by more CPUs in parallel.

   - Ignore non-finalized records during panic(). Messages printed on
     panic-CPU are always finalized. Messages printed by other CPUs
     might never be finalized when the CPUs get stopped.

   - Block new printk() calls on non-panic CPUs completely. Backtraces
     are printed before entering the panic mode. Later messages would
     just mess information printed by the panic CPU.

   - Do not take console_lock in console_flush_on_panic() at all. The
     original code did try_lock()/console_unlock(). The unlock part
     might cause a deadlock when panic() happened in a scheduler code.

   - Fix conversion of 64-bit sequence number for 32-bit atomic
     operations"

Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting
every subsystem fight this thing on their own.  But let's just rip off
the band-aid and get it over and done with.  I don't want to see a
number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no
longer has any meaning.

This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual
cleanup of the end result.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Freelist loading optimization (Chengming Zhou)

   When the per-cpu slab is depleted and a new one loaded from the cpu
   partial list, optimize the loading to avoid an irq enable/disable
   cycle. This results in a 3.5% performance improvement on the "perf
   bench sched messaging" test.

 - Kernel boot parameters cleanup after SLAB removal (Xiongwei Song)

   Due to two different main slab implementations we've had boot
   parameters prefixed either slab_ and slub_ with some later becoming
   an alias as both implementations gained the same functionality (i.e.
   slab_nomerge vs slub_nomerge). In order to eventually get rid of the
   implementation-specific names, the canonical and documented
   parameters are now all prefixed slab_ and the slub_ variants become
   deprecated but still working aliases.

 - SLAB_ kmem_cache creation flags cleanup (Vlastimil Babka)

   The flags had hardcoded #define values which became tedious and
   error-prone when adding new ones. Assign the values via an enum that
   takes care of providing unique bit numbers. Also deprecate
   SLAB_MEM_SPREAD which was only used by SLAB, so it's a no-op since
   SLAB removal. Assign it an explicit zero value. The removals of the
   flag usage are handled independently in the respective subsystems,
   with a final removal of any leftover usage planned for the next
   release.

 - Misc cleanups and fixes (Chengming Zhou, Xiaolei Wang, Zheng Yejian)

   Includes removal of unused code or function parameters and a fix of a
   memleak.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:

 - Promote IMA/EVM to a proper LSM

   This is the bulk of the diffstat, and the source of all the changes
   in the VFS code. Prior to the start of the LSM stacking work it was
   important that IMA/EVM were separate from the rest of the LSMs,
   complete with their own hooks, infrastructure, etc. as it was the
   only way to enable IMA/EVM at the same time as a LSM.

   However, now that the bulk of the LSM infrastructure supports
   multiple simultaneous LSMs, we can simplify things greatly by
   bringing IMA/EVM into the LSM infrastructure as proper LSMs. This is
   something I've wanted to see happen for quite some time and Roberto
   was kind enough to put in the work to make it happen.

 - Use the LSM hook default values to simplify the call_int_hook() macro

   Previously the call_int_hook() macro required callers to supply a
   default return value, despite a default value being specified when
   the LSM hook was defined.

   This simplifies the macro by using the defined default return value
   which makes life easier for callers and should also reduce the number
   of return value bugs in the future (we've had a few pop up recently,
   hence this work).

 - Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create()

   The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when
   possible and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's
   use it.

 - Fix a number of comment typos in the LSM hook comment blocks

   Not much to say here, we fixed some questionable grammar decisions in
   the LSM hook comment blocks.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "Really only a few notable changes:

   - Continue the coding style/formatting fixup work

     This is the bulk of the diffstat in this pull request, with the
     focus this time around being the security/selinux/ss directory.

     We've only got a couple of files left to cleanup and once we're
     done with that we can start enabling some automatic style
     verfication and introduce tooling to help new folks format their
     code correctly.

   - Don't restrict xattr copy-up when SELinux policy is not loaded

     This helps systems that use overlayfs, or similar filesystems,
     preserve their SELinux labels during early boot when the SELinux
     policy has yet to be loaded.

   - Reduce the work we do during inode initialization time

     This isn't likely to show up in any benchmark results, but we
     removed an unnecessary SELinux object class lookup/calculation
     during inode initialization.

   - Correct the return values in selinux_socket_getpeersec_dgram()

     We had some inconsistencies with respect to our return values
     across selinux_socket_getpeersec_dgram() and
     selinux_socket_getpeersec_stream().

     This provides a more uniform set of error codes across the two
     functions and should help make it easier for users to identify
     the source of a failure"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core & protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     & unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "Mostly stabilization, refactoring and cleanup changes. There rest are
  minor performance optimizations due to caching or lock contention
  reduction and a few notable fixes.

  Performance improvements:

   - minor speedup in logging when repeatedly allocated structure is
     preallocated only once, improves latency and decreases lock
     contention

   - minor throughput increase (+6%), reduced lock contention after
     clearing delayed allocation bits, applies to several common
     workload types

   - skip full quota rescan if a new relation is added in the same
     transaction

  Fixes:

   - zstd fix for inline compressed file in subpage mode, updated
     version from the 6.8 time

   - proper qgroup inheritance ioctl parameter validation

   - more fiemap followup fixes after reduced locking done in 6.8:
      - fix race when detecting delalloc ranges

  Core changes:

   - more debugging code:
      - added assertions for a very rare crash in raid56 calculation
      - tree-checker dumps page state to give more insights into
        possible reference counting issues

   - add checksum calculation offloading sysfs knob, for now enabled
     under DEBUG only to determine a good heuristic for deciding the
     offload or synchronous, depends on various factors (block group
     profile, device speed) and is not as clear as initially thought
     (checksum type)

   - error handling improvements, added assertions

   - more page to folio conversion (defrag, truncate), cached size and
     shift

   - preparation for more fine grained locking of sectors in subpage
     mode

   - cleanups and refactoring:
      - include cleanups, forward declarations
      - pointer-to-structure helpers
      - redundant argument removals
      - removed unused code
      - slab cache updates, last use of SLAB_MEM_SPREAD removed"

Pull SoC device tree updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There is very little going on with new SoC support this time, all the
  new chips are variations of others that we already support, and they
  are all based on ARMv8 cores:

   - Mediatek MT7981B (Filogic 820) and MT7988A (Filogic 880) are
     networking SoCs designed to be used in wireless routers, similar to
     the already supported MT7986A (Filogic 830).

   - NXP i.MX8DXP is a variant of i.MX8QXP, with two CPU cores less.
     These are used in many embedded and industrial applications.

   - Renesas R8A779G2 (R-Car V4H ES2.0) and R8A779H0 (R-Car V4M) are
     automotive SoCs.

   - TI J722S is another automotive variant of its K3 family, related to
     the AM62 series.

  There are a total of 7 new arm32 machines and 45 arm64 ones, including

   - Two Android phones based on the old Tegra30 chip

   - Two machines using Cortex-A53 SoCs from Allwinner, a mini PC and a
     SoM development board

   - A set-top box using Amlogic Meson G12A S905X2

   - Eight embedded board using NXP i.MX6/8/9

   - Three machines using Mediatek network router chips

   - Ten Chromebooks, all based on Mediatek MT8186

   - One development board based on Mediatek MT8395 (Genio 1200)

   - Seven tablets and phones based on Qualcomm SoCs, most of them from
     Samsung.

   - A third development board for Qualcomm SM8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)

   - Three variants of the "White Hawk" board for Renesas automotive
     SoCs

   - Ten Rockchips RK35xx based machines, including NAS, Tablet, Game
     console and industrial form factors.

   - Three evaluation boards for TI K3 based SoCs

  The other changes are mainly the usual feature additions for existing
  hardware, cleanups, and dtc compile time fixes. One notable change is
  the inclusion of PowerVR SGX GPU nodes on TI SoCs"

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

 - Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes

 - Fix error handling in Processor Activity Instrumentation device
   driver, and export number of counters with a sysfs file

 - Allow for multiple events when Processor Activity Instrumentation
   counters are monitored in system wide sampling

 - Change multiplier and shift values of the Time-of-Day clock source to
   improve steering precision

 - Remove a couple of unneeded GFP_DMA flags from allocations

 - Disable mmap alignment if randomize_va_space is also disabled, to
   avoid a too small heap

 - Various changes to allow s390 to be compiled with LLVM=1, since
   ld.lld and llvm-objcopy will have proper s390 support witch clang 19

 - Add __uninitialized macro to Compiler Attributes. This is helpful
   with s390's FPU code where some users have up to 520 byte stack
   frames. Clearing such stack frames (if INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or
   INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled) before they are used contradicts the
   intention (performance improvement) of such code sections.

 - Convert switch_to() to an out-of-line function, and use the generic
   switch_to header file

 - Replace the usage of s390's debug feature with pr_debug() calls
   within the zcrypt device driver

 - Improve hotplug support of the Adjunct Processor device driver

 - Improve retry handling in the zcrypt device driver

 - Various changes to the in-kernel FPU code:

     - Make in-kernel FPU sections preemptible

     - Convert various larger inline assemblies and assembler files to
       C, mainly by using singe instruction inline assemblies. This
       increases readability, but also allows makes it easier to add
       proper instrumentation hooks

     - Cleanup of the header files

 - Provide fast variants of csum_partial() and
   csum_partial_copy_nocheck() based on vector instructions

 - Introduce and use a lock to synchronize accesses to zpci device data
   structures to avoid inconsistent states caused by concurrent accesses

 - Compile the kernel without -fPIE. This addresses the following
   problems if the kernel is compiled with -fPIE:

     - It uses dynamic symbols (.dynsym), for which the linker refuses
       to allow more than 64k sections. This can break features which
       use '-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections', including
       kpatch-build and function granular KASLR

     - It unnecessarily uses GOT relocations, adding an extra layer of
       indirection for many memory accesses

 - Fix shared_cpu_list for CPU private L2 caches, which incorrectly were
   reported as globally shared

Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Continuing work by Ard Biesheuvel to improve the x86 early startup
   code, with the long-term goal to make it position independent:

      - Get rid of early accesses to global objects, either by moving
        them to the stack, deferring the access until later, or dropping
        the globals entirely

      - Move all code that runs early via the 1:1 mapping into
        .head.text, and move code that does not out of it, so that build
        time checks can be added later to ensure that no inadvertent
        absolute references were emitted into code that does not
        tolerate them

      - Remove fixup_pointer() and occurrences of __pa_symbol(), which
        rely on the compiler emitting absolute references, which is not
        guaranteed

 - Improve the early console code

 - Add early console message about ignored NMIs, so that users are at
   least warned about their existence - even if we cannot do anything
   about them

 - Enable more X86S (simplified x86) bits

 - Simplify early boot GDT handling

Pull x86 APIC fixup from Dave Hansen:
 "Revert VERW fixed addressing patch.

  The reverted commit is not x86/apic material and was cruft left over
  from a merge.

  I believe the sequence of events went something like this:

   - The commit in question was added to x86/urgent

   - x86/urgent was merged into x86/apic to resolve a conflict

   - The commit was zapped from x86/urgent, but *not* from x86/apic

   - x86/apic got pullled (yesterday)

  I think we need to be a bit more vigilant when zapping things to make
  sure none of the other branches are depending on the zapped material"

Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
 "RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
  infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
  have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
  wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
  values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
  kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
  state can be cleared.

  This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
  vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
  mitigation"

This was reverts commit 8009479e.

It was originally in x86/urgent, but was deemed wrong so got zapped.
But in the meantime, x86/urgent had been merged into x86/apic to
resolve a conflict.  I didn't notice the merge so didn't zap it
from x86/apic and it managed to make it up with the x86/apic
material.

The reverted commit is known to cause some KASAN problems.

Merge a series from myself that replaces hardcoded SLAB_ cache flag
values with an enum, and explicitly deprecates the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag
that is a no-op sine SLAB removal.

Merge a series from Chengming Zhou that optimizes cpu freelist loading
when grabbing a cpu partial slab, and removes some unnecessary code.

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because
in the following merge conflict resolution in <asm/coco.h>:

  38b334fc Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:

  1c811d40 x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code

... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:

  2e5fc478 Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree

But Linus is right in 38b334fc, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.

So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's
tree and follow his conflict resolution.

Locally generated packets can increment the new nexthop statistics from
process context, resulting in the following splat [1] due to preemption
being enabled. Fix by using get_cpu_ptr() / put_cpu_ptr() which will
which take care of disabling / enabling preemption.

Passing a maximum attribute type to nlmsg_parse() that is larger than
the size of the passed policy will result in an out-of-bounds access [1]
when the attribute type is used as an index into the policy array.

Fix by setting the maximum attribute type according to the policy size,
as is already done for RTM_NEWNEXTHOP messages. Add a test case that
triggers the bug.

The attribute is parsed in __nh_valid_dump_req() which is called by the
dump handlers of RTM_GETNEXTHOP and RTM_GETNEXTHOPBUCKET although it is
only used by the former and rejected by the policy of the latter.

Move the parsing to nh_valid_dump_req() which is only called by the dump
handler of RTM_GETNEXTHOP.

This is a preparation for a subsequent patch.
