Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
  system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
  The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.

  Features:

   - listns() system call

     Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
     through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
     interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
     longstanding limitations:

     Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
     namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
     all processes, which is:
      - Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
      - Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
        process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
        parent references
      - Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
      - No ordering or ownership information
      - No filtering per namespace type

     The listns() system call solves these problems:

       ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
                      size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);

       struct ns_id_req {
             __u32 size;
             __u32 spare;
             __u64 ns_id;
             struct /* listns */ {
                     __u32 ns_type;
                     __u32 spare2;
                     __u64 user_ns_id;
             };
       };

     Features include:
      - Pagination support for large namespace sets
      - Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
      - Filtering by owning user namespace
      - Permission checks respecting namespace isolation

   - Active Reference Counting

     Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
     visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
     cases:
      - The namespace is in use by a task
      - The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
        descriptor or bind-mount)
      - The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
        namespaces

     The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
     done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
     to namespace file handles and listns().

     This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
     internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
     file-&gt;f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
     not be accessible via (1)-(3).

   - Unified Namespace Tree

     Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
      - Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
      - Lookup based solely on inode number
      - Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
      - Simplified rbtree comparison helpers

   Cleanups

    - Header Reorganization:
      - Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
      - Decouple nstree from ns_common header
      - Move nstree types into separate header
      - Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
      - Use guards for ns_tree_lock

   - Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
      - Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
        pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
        away
      - Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
      - Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
      - pid: rely on common reference count behavior

   - Miscellaneous Cleanups
      - Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
      - Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
      - Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
      - Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
      - nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
      - nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
      - pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
      - pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
      - libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
      - cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
      - nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()

  Fixes:

   - setns(pidfd, ...) race condition

     Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
     task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
     namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
     setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
     reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
     the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.

     The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
     succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
     succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.

   - Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success

   - Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
     namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
     reference)

   - Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
     namespace

   - Add asserts for active refcount underflow

   - Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
     and active)

   - ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions

   - Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions

   - Selftests
      - 15 active reference count tests
      - 9 listns() functionality tests
      - 7 listns() permission tests
      - 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
      - 3 threaded active reference count tests
      - commit_creds() active reference tests
      - Pagination and stress tests
      - EFAULT handling test
      - nsid tests fixes"

<title>MIPS: ftrace: Fix memory corruption when kernel is located beyond 32 bits</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit e424054000878 ("MIPS: Tracing: Reduce the overhead of
dynamic Function Tracer"), the macro UASM_i_LA_mostly has been used,
and this macro can generate more than 2 instructions. At the same
time, the code in ftrace assumes that no more than 2 instructions can
be generated, which is why it stores them in an int[2] array. However,
as previously noted, the macro UASM_i_LA_mostly (and now UASM_i_LA)
causes a buffer overflow when _mcount is beyond 32 bits. This leads to
corruption of the variables located in the __read_mostly section.

This corruption was observed because the variable
__cpu_primary_thread_mask was corrupted, causing a hang very early
during boot.

This fix prevents the corruption by avoiding the generation of
instructions if they could exceed 2 instructions in
length. Fortunately, insn_la_mcount is only used if the instrumented
code is located outside the kernel code section, so dynamic ftrace can
still be used, albeit in a more limited scope. This is still
preferable to corrupting memory and/or crashing the kernel.

Commit 69896119dc9d ("MIPS: vdso: Switch to generic storage
implementation") switches to a generic vdso storage, which increases
the number of data pages from 1 to 4. But there is only one page
reserved, which causes segementation faults depending where the VDSO
area is randomized to. To fix this use the same size of reservation
and allocation of the VDSO data pages.

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

<title>arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64</title>
<updated>2025-09-01T13:31:34+00:00</updated>

<id>bbc46b23af5bb934cd1cf066ef4342cee457a24e</id>
<content type='text'>
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.
