The "arg-&gt;vec_len" variable is a u64 that comes from the user at the start
of the function.  The "arg-&gt;vec_len * sizeof(struct page_region))"
multiplication can lead to integer wrapping.  Use size_mul() to avoid
that.

Also the size_add/mul() functions work on unsigned long so for 32bit
systems we need to ensure that "arg-&gt;vec_len" fits in an unsigned long.

<title>fs/proc: fix build with GCC 15 due to -Werror=unterminated-string-initialization</title>

show show_smap_vma_flags() has been a using misspelled initializer in
mnemonics[] - it needed to initialize 2 element array of char and it used
NUL-padded 2 character string literals (i.e.  3-element initializer).

This has been spotted by gcc-15[*]; prior to that gcc quietly dropped the
3rd eleemnt of initializers.  To fix this we are increasing the size of
mnemonics[] (from mnemonics[BITS_PER_LONG][2] to
mnemonics[BITS_PER_LONG][3]) to accomodate the NUL-padded string literals.

This also helps us in simplyfying the logic for printing of the flags as
instead of printing each character from the mnemonics[], we can just print
the mnemonics[] using seq_printf.

[*]: fs/proc/task_mmu.c:917:49: error: initializer-string for array of `char' is too long [-Werror=unterminate d-string-initialization]
  917 |                 [0 ... (BITS_PER_LONG-1)] = "??",

Stephen pointed out:

: The C standard explicitly allows for a string initializer to be too long
: due to the NUL byte at the end ...  so this warning may be overzealous.

but let's make the warning go away anwyay.

     warnings about this.

   - "nilfs2: add support for some common ioctls" from Ryusuke Konishi.
     Adds various commonly-available ioctls to nilfs2.

   - "This series fixes a number of formatting issues in kernel doc
     comments" from Ryusuke Konishi does that.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
  architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
  to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
  code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
  to base their work.

  So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
  issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
  powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
  commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.

  This contains:

   - Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
     running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.

   - Additions to the vDSO getrandom &amp; chacha selftests. Basically every
     time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
     or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.

     By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
     the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.

   - Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
     build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
     assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
     carry through to the other architectures.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
     Huacai Chen.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
     by Will Deacon.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to PowerPC, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
     varieties, from Christophe Leroy and acked by Michael Ellerman.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to S390X from Heiko Carstens, the arch
     maintainer.

  While it'd be natural for there to be things to fix up over the course
  of the development cycle, these patches got a decent amount of review
  from a fairly diverse crew of folks on the mailing lists, and, for the
  most part, they've been cooking in linux-next, which has been helpful
  for ironing out build issues.

  In terms of architectures, I think that mostly takes care of the
  important 64-bit archs with hardware still being produced and running
  production loads in settings where vDSO getrandom is likely to help.

  Arguably there's still RISC-V left, and we'll see for 6.13 whether
  they find it useful and submit a port"

Commit 9651fcedf7b9 ("mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always
lazily freeable mappings") only adds VM_DROPPABLE for 64 bits
architectures.

In order to also use the getrandom vDSO implementation on powerpc/32,
use VM_ARCH_1 for VM_DROPPABLE on powerpc/32. This is possible because
VM_ARCH_1 is used for VM_SAO on powerpc and VM_SAO is only for
powerpc/64. It is used in combination with PROT_SAO in some parts of
code that are restricted to CONFIG_PPC64 through #ifdefs, it is
therefore possible to define VM_SAO for CONFIG_PPC64 only.

A piece of build ID handling code in PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl() was
accidentally duplicated.  It wasn't meant to be part of ed5d583a88a9
("fs/procfs: implement efficient VMA querying API for /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps")
commit, which is what introduced duplication.

It has no correctness implications, but we unnecessarily perform the same
work twice, if build ID parsing is requested.  Drop the duplication.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.

  First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
  lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
  enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
  doesn't count as being mlocked.

  Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
  generic manner and hooked into random.c.

  Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
  this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)

  Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.

  There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

<id>9651fcedf7b92d3f7f1ab179e8ab55b85ee10fc1</id>
<content type='text'>
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:

- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
  * Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
  * Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.

- It shouldn't be written to swap.
  * Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
  * Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.

- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
  page faulting in memory if none is available
  * Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.

It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:

1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
   having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
   the function's execution.

2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
   we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
   everything is fine.

3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
   60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.

These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:

a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
   zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
   and no signal is sent.

This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:

    VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE

And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.

In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.

Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.

Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

On powerpc 8xx huge_ptep_get() will need to know whether the given ptep is
a PTE entry or a PMD entry.  This cannot be known with the PMD entry
itself because there is no easy way to know it from the content of the
entry.

So huge_ptep_get() will need to know either the size of the page or get
the pmd.

In order to be consistent with huge_ptep_get_and_clear(), give mm and
address to huge_ptep_get().
