Heiko Carstens says:

===================
This is supposed to improve s390 idle time accounting, and brings it
back to the state it was before arch_cpu_idle_time() was removed from
s390 [3].

In result all cpu time accounting is done by the s390 architecture backend
again, instead of having a mix of architecure specific and common code
accounting (common code: idle, s390 architecture: everything else).

Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - Use CIO device online variable instead of the internal FSM state to
   determine device availability during purge operations

 - Remove extra check of task_stack_page() because try_get_task_stack()
   already takes care of that when reading /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/wchan

 - Allow user-space to use the new SCLP action qualifier 4 for to
   provide NVMe SMART log data to the platform.

 - Send AP CHANGE uevents on successful bind and successful association
   to notify user-space about SE operations on AP queue devices

 - Add an s390dbf kernel parameter to configure debug log levels and
   area sizes during early boot

 - On arm64 the empty zero page is going to be mapped read-only. Do the
   same for s390 with an explicit set_memory_ro() call

 - Improve s390-specific bcr_serialize() and cpu_relax() implementations

 - Remove all unused variables to avoid allmodconfig W=1 build fails
   with latest clang-23

 - Cleanup default Kconfig values for s390 selftests

 - Add a s390-tod trace clock to allow comparing trace timestamps
   between different systems or virtual machines on s390

 - Remove the s390 implementation of strlcat() in favor of the generic
   variant

 - Make consistent the calling order between
   page_table_check_pte_clear() and secure page conversion across all
   code paths

 - Rearrange some fields within AP and zcrypt structs to reduce memory
   consumption and unused holes

 - Shorten GR_NUM and VX_NUM macros and move them to a separate header

 - Replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() in few sources

 - Introduce an infrastructure for more efficient this_cpu operations.
   Eliminate conditional branches when PREEMPT_NONE is removed

 - Enable Rust support

 - Use z10 as minimum architecture level, similar to the boot code, to
   enforce a defined architecture level set

 - Improve and convert various mem*() helper functions to C. For that
   add .noinstr.text section to avoid orphaned warnings from the linker

 - Fix the function pointer type in __ret_from_fork() to correct the
   indirect call to match kernel thread return type of int

 - Revert support for DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS to avoid an endless exception
   loop on read from donated Ultravisor pages at unaligned addresses

<content type='text'>
The upcoming cpu idle time accounting rework involves comparing and
subtracting cross cpu time stamps. Time stamps created with the stckf
instruction monotonic with respect to the local cpu. For cross cpu
monotonic time stamps the slightly slower stcke instruction has to
be used [1].

Convert the idle time accounting relevant usages of stckf to stcke.

Ensure that all devices currently offline are purged correctly.

Previously, purging logic relied on the internal FSM state to
determine whether a device was offline. However, devices with a
target state of offline could be skipped if CIO internal
processing was still ongoing during the purge operation.

Update the purge decision logic to rely on the online variable
in the cdev structure instead of the internal FSM state,
providing a more reliable indication of actual device
availability.

<title>s390/cio: use generic driver_override infrastructure</title>

<content type='text'>
When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.

Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.

Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1]

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".
