After a couple of years and multiple LTS releases we received a report
that the behavior of O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT changed starting with v5.7.

On kernels prior to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
had the following semantics:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                create regular file
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    EISDIR

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                create regular file
    * d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
    * d exists and is a directory:    EEXIST

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

On kernels since to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
have the following semantics:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOTDIR (create regular file)
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    EISDIR

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOTDIR (create regular file)
    * d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
    * d exists and is a directory:    EEXIST

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

This is a fairly substantial semantic change that userspace didn't
notice until Pedro took the time to deliberately figure out corner
cases. Since no one noticed this breakage we can somewhat safely assume
that O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT combinations are likely unused.

The v5.7 breakage is especially weird because while ENOTDIR is returned
indicating failure a regular file is actually created. This doesn't make
a lot of sense.

Time was spent finding potential users of this combination. Searching on
codesearch.debian.net showed that codebases often express semantical
expectations about O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT which are completely contrary
to what our code has done and currently does.

The expectation often is that this particular combination would create
and open a directory. This suggests users who tried to use that
combination would stumble upon the counterintuitive behavior no matter
if pre-v5.7 or post v5.7 and quickly realize neither semantics give them
what they want. For some examples see the code examples in [1] to [3]
and the discussion in [4].

There are various ways to address this issue. The lazy/simple option
would be to restore the pre-v5.7 behavior and to just live with that bug
forever. But since there's a real chance that the O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
quirk isn't relied upon we should try to get away with murder(ing bad
semantics) first. If we need to Frankenstein pre-v5.7 behavior later so
be it.

So let's simply return EINVAL categorically for O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
combinations. In addition to cleaning up the old bug this also opens up
the possiblity to make that flag combination do something more intuitive
in the future.

Starting with this commit the following semantics apply:

(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
    * d doesn't exist:                EINVAL
    * d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
    * d exists and is a directory:    EINVAL

(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                EINVAL
    * d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
    * d exists and is a directory:    EINVAL

(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
    * d doesn't exist:                ENOENT
    * d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
    * d exists and is a directory:    open directory

One additional note, O_TMPFILE is implemented as:

    #define __O_TMPFILE    020000000
    #define O_TMPFILE      (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY)
    #define O_TMPFILE_MASK (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)

For older kernels it was important to return an explicit error when
O_TMPFILE wasn't supported. So O_TMPFILE requires that O_DIRECTORY is
raised alongside __O_TMPFILE. It also enforced that O_CREAT wasn't
specified. Since O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT could be used to create a regular
allowing that combination together with __O_TMPFILE would've meant that
false positives were possible, i.e., that a regular file was created
instead of a O_TMPFILE. This could've been used to trick userspace into
thinking it operated on a O_TMPFILE when it wasn't.

Now that we block O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT completely the check for O_CREAT
in the __O_TMPFILE branch via if ((flags &amp; O_TMPFILE_MASK) != O_TMPFILE)
can be dropped. Instead we can simply check verify that O_DIRECTORY is
raised via if (!(flags &amp; O_DIRECTORY)) and explain this in two comments.

As Aleksa pointed out O_PATH is unaffected by this change since it
always returned EINVAL if O_CREAT was specified - with or without
O_DIRECTORY.

Left-shifting past the size of your datatype is undefined behaviour in C. 
The literal 34 gets the type `int`, and that one is not big enough to be
left shifted by 26 bits.

An `unsigned` is long enough (on any machine that has at least 32 bits for
their ints.)

For uniformity, we mark all the literals as unsigned.  But it's only
really needed for HUGETLB_FLAG_ENCODE_16GB.

Thanks to Randy Dunlap for an initial review and suggestion.

<title>mm/madvise: introduce MADV_COLLAPSE sync hugepage collapse</title>

<id>7d8faaf155454f8798ec56404faca29a82689c77</id>
<content type='text'>
This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[1].

Introduce a new madvise mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, that allows users to request
a synchronous collapse of memory at their own expense.

The benefits of this approach are:

* CPU is charged to the process that wants to spend the cycles for the
  THP
* Avoid unpredictable timing of khugepaged collapse

Semantics

This call is independent of the system-wide THP sysfs settings, but will
fail for memory marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE.  If the ranges provided span
multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over each VMA is independent
from the others.  This implies a hugepage cannot cross a VMA boundary.  If
collapse of a given hugepage-aligned/sized region fails, the operation may
continue to attempt collapsing the remainder of memory specified.

The memory ranges provided must be page-aligned, but are not required to
be hugepage-aligned.  If the memory ranges are not hugepage-aligned, the
start/end of the range will be clamped to the first/last hugepage-aligned
address covered by said range.  The memory ranges must span at least one
hugepage-sized region.

All non-resident pages covered by the range will first be
swapped/faulted-in, before being internally copied onto a freshly
allocated hugepage.  Unmapped pages will have their data directly
initialized to 0 in the new hugepage.  However, for every eligible
hugepage aligned/sized region to-be collapsed, at least one page must
currently be backed by memory (a PMD covering the address range must
already exist).

Allocation for the new hugepage may enter direct reclaim and/or
compaction, regardless of VMA flags.  When the system has multiple NUMA
nodes, the hugepage will be allocated from the node providing the most
native pages.  This operation operates on the current state of the
specified process and makes no persistent changes or guarantees on how
pages will be mapped, constructed, or faulted in the future

Return Value

If all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were
either successfully collapsed, or were already PMD-mapped THPs, this
operation will be deemed successful.  On success, process_madvise(2)
returns the number of bytes advised, and madvise(2) returns 0.  Else, -1
is returned and errno is set to indicate the error for the most-recently
attempted hugepage collapse.  Note that many failures might have occurred,
since the operation may continue to collapse in the event a single
hugepage-sized/aligned region fails.

	ENOMEM	Memory allocation failed or VMA not found
	EBUSY	Memcg charging failed
	EAGAIN	Required resource temporarily unavailable.  Try again
		might succeed.
	EINVAL	Other error: No PMD found, subpage doesn't have Present
		bit set, "Special" page no backed by struct page, VMA
		incorrectly sized, address not page-aligned, ...

Most notable here is ENOMEM and EBUSY (new to madvise) which are intended
to provide the caller with actionable feedback so they may take an
appropriate fallback measure.

Use Cases

An immediate user of this new functionality are malloc() implementations
that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease
memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED;
zapping the pmd.  Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could
madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage
coverage and dTLB performance.  TCMalloc is such an implementation that
could benefit from this[2].

Only privately-mapped anon memory is supported for now, but additional
support for file, shmem, and HugeTLB high-granularity mappings[2] is
expected.  File and tmpfs/shmem support would permit:

* Backing executable text by THPs.  Current support provided by
  CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which
  might impair services from serving at their full rated load after
  (re)starting.  Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to
  immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand
  paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint.  With
  MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance
  and lower RAM footprints.
* Backing guest memory by hugapages after the memory contents have been
  migrated in native-page-sized chunks to a new host, in a
  userfaultfd-based live-migration stack.

This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[1].

Introduce a new madvise mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, that allows users to request
a synchronous collapse of memory at their own expense.

The benefits of this approach are:

* CPU is charged to the process that wants to spend the cycles for the
  THP
* Avoid unpredictable timing of khugepaged collapse

Semantics

This call is independent of the system-wide THP sysfs settings, but will
fail for memory marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE.  If the ranges provided span
multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over each VMA is independent
from the others.  This implies a hugepage cannot cross a VMA boundary.  If
collapse of a given hugepage-aligned/sized region fails, the operation may
continue to attempt collapsing the remainder of memory specified.

The memory ranges provided must be page-aligned, but are not required to
be hugepage-aligned.  If the memory ranges are not hugepage-aligned, the
start/end of the range will be clamped to the first/last hugepage-aligned
address covered by said range.  The memory ranges must span at least one
hugepage-sized region.

All non-resident pages covered by the range will first be
swapped/faulted-in, before being internally copied onto a freshly
allocated hugepage.  Unmapped pages will have their data directly
initialized to 0 in the new hugepage.  However, for every eligible
hugepage aligned/sized region to-be collapsed, at least one page must
currently be backed by memory (a PMD covering the address range must
already exist).

Allocation for the new hugepage may enter direct reclaim and/or
compaction, regardless of VMA flags.  When the system has multiple NUMA
nodes, the hugepage will be allocated from the node providing the most
native pages.  This operation operates on the current state of the
specified process and makes no persistent changes or guarantees on how
pages will be mapped, constructed, or faulted in the future

Return Value

If all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were
either successfully collapsed, or were already PMD-mapped THPs, this
operation will be deemed successful.  On success, process_madvise(2)
returns the number of bytes advised, and madvise(2) returns 0.  Else, -1
is returned and errno is set to indicate the error for the most-recently
attempted hugepage collapse.  Note that many failures might have occurred,
since the operation may continue to collapse in the event a single
hugepage-sized/aligned region fails.

	ENOMEM	Memory allocation failed or VMA not found
	EBUSY	Memcg charging failed
	EAGAIN	Required resource temporarily unavailable.  Try again
		might succeed.
	EINVAL	Other error: No PMD found, subpage doesn't have Present
		bit set, "Special" page no backed by struct page, VMA
		incorrectly sized, address not page-aligned, ...

Most notable here is ENOMEM and EBUSY (new to madvise) which are intended
to provide the caller with actionable feedback so they may take an
appropriate fallback measure.

Use Cases

An immediate user of this new functionality are malloc() implementations
that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease
memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED;
zapping the pmd.  Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could
madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage
coverage and dTLB performance.  TCMalloc is such an implementation that
could benefit from this[2].

Only privately-mapped anon memory is supported for now, but additional
support for file, shmem, and HugeTLB high-granularity mappings[2] is
expected.  File and tmpfs/shmem support would permit:

* Backing executable text by THPs.  Current support provided by
  CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which
  might impair services from serving at their full rated load after
  (re)starting.  Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to
  immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand
  paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint.  With
  MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance
  and lower RAM footprints.
* Backing guest memory by hugapages after the memory contents have been
  migrated in native-page-sized chunks to a new host, in a
  userfaultfd-based live-migration stack.

<title>serial: Support for RS-485 multipoint addresses</title>

Add support for RS-485 multipoint addressing using 9th bit [*]. The
addressing mode is configured through -&gt;rs485_config().

ADDRB in termios indicates 9th bit addressing mode is enabled. In this
mode, 9th bit is used to indicate an address (byte) within the
communication line. ADDRB can only be enabled/disabled through
-&gt;rs485_config() that is also responsible for setting the destination and
receiver (filter) addresses.

Add traps to detect unwanted changes to struct serial_rs485 layout using
static_assert().

[*] Technically, RS485 is just an electronic spec and does not itself
specify the 9th bit addressing mode but 9th bit seems at least
"semi-standard" way to do addressing with RS485.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - Support for the Svpbmt extension, which allows memory attributes to
   be encoded in pages

 - Support for the Allwinner D1's implementation of page-based memory
   attributes

 - Support for running rv32 binaries on rv64 systems, via the compat
   subsystem

 - Support for kexec_file()

 - Support for the new generic ticket-based spinlocks, which allows us
   to also move to qrwlock. These should have already gone in through
   the asm-geneic tree as well

 - A handful of cleanups and fixes, include some larger ones around
   atomics and XIP

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core
  ----

   - Support TCPv6 segmentation offload with super-segments larger than
     64k bytes using the IPv6 Jumbogram extension header (AKA BIG TCP).

   - Generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists, instead of
     per-socket lists.

   - Add a netdev statistic for packets dropped due to L2 address
     mismatch (rx_otherhost_dropped).

   - Continue work annotating skb drop reasons.

   - Accept alternative netdev names (ALT_IFNAME) in more netlink
     requests.

   - Add VLAN support for AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW GSO.

   - Allow receiving skb mark from the socket as a cmsg.

   - Enable memcg accounting for veth queues, sysctl tables and IPv6.

  BPF
  ---

   - Add libbpf support for User Statically-Defined Tracing (USDTs).

   - Speed up symbol resolution for kprobes multi-link attachments.

   - Support storing typed pointers to referenced and unreferenced
     objects in BPF maps.

   - Add support for BPF link iterator.

   - Introduce access to remote CPU map elements in BPF per-cpu map.

   - Allow middle-of-the-road settings for the
     kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl.

   - Implement basic types of dynamic pointers e.g. to allow for
     dynamically sized ringbuf reservations without extra memory copies.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Retire port only listening_hash table, add a second bind table
     hashed by port and address. Avoid linear list walk when binding to
     very popular ports (e.g. 443).

   - Add bridge FDB bulk flush filtering support allowing user space to
     remove all FDB entries matching a condition.

   - Introduce accept_unsolicited_na sysctl for IPv6 to implement
     router-side changes for RFC9131.

   - Support for MPTCP path manager in user space.

   - Add MPTCP support for fallback to regular TCP for connections that
     have never connected additional subflows or transmitted
     out-of-sequence data (partial support for RFC8684 fallback).

   - Avoid races in MPTCP-level window tracking, stabilize and improve
     throughput.

   - Support lockless operation of GRE tunnels with seq numbers enabled.

   - WiFi support for host based BSS color collision detection.

   - Add support for SO_TXTIME/SCM_TXTIME on CAN sockets.

   - Support transmission w/o flow control in CAN ISOTP (ISO 15765-2).

   - Support zero-copy Tx with TLS 1.2 crypto offload (sendfile).

   - Allow matching on the number of VLAN tags via tc-flower.

   - Add tracepoint for tcp_set_ca_state().

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Improve error reporting from classifier and action offload.

   - Add support for listing line cards in switches (devlink).

   - Add helpers for reporting page pool statistics with ethtool -S.

   - Add support for reading clock cycles when using PTP virtual clocks,
     instead of having the driver convert to time before reporting. This
     makes it possible to report time from different vclocks.

   - Support configuring low-latency Tx descriptor push via ethtool.

   - Separate Clause 22 and Clause 45 MDIO accesses more explicitly.
