Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:

 - Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings, and
   fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by maintainers
   (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook)

 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add
   more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all
   allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that
   each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions

 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to
   provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook)

 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner
   overflow checking

 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc

 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests

 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred()

 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell)

 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin
   Li)

 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu)

 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "Tux gets for xmas an improvement to the average lookup performance of
  kallsyms_lookup_name() by 715x thanks to the work by Zhen Lei, which
  upgraded our old implementation from being O(n) to O(log(n)), while
  also retaining the old implementation support on /proc/kallsyms.

  The only penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 *
  kallsyms_num_syms. Folks who want to improve this further now also
  have a dedicated selftest facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST.

  Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only
  users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise
  we do module decompression in userspace.

  The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization
  by Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init. The
  rest is cleanups and minor fixes"

* tag 'modules-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux:

<title>init/Kconfig: fix CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_TIED_OUTPUT test with dash</title>

<content type='text'>
When using dash as /bin/sh, the CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_TIED_OUTPUT test fails
with a syntax error which is not the one we are looking for:

&lt;stdin&gt;: In function ‘foo’:
&lt;stdin&gt;:1:29: warning: missing terminating " character
&lt;stdin&gt;:1:29: error: missing terminating " character
&lt;stdin&gt;:2:5: error: expected ‘:’ before ‘+’ token
&lt;stdin&gt;:2:7: warning: missing terminating " character
&lt;stdin&gt;:2:7: error: missing terminating " character
&lt;stdin&gt;:2:5: error: expected declaration or statement at end of input

Removing '\n' solves this.

<title>kallsyms: Add self-test facility</title>

<id>30f3bb09778de64ef9f23fb4bb5f868c4728a071</id>

Added test cases for basic functions and performance of functions
kallsyms_lookup_name(), kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). It also calculates the compression rate
of the kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set.

The basic functions test begins by testing a set of symbols whose address
values are known. Then, traverse all symbol addresses and find the
corresponding symbol name based on the address. It's impossible to
determine whether these addresses are correct, but we can use the above
three functions along with the addresses to test each other. Due to the
traversal operation of kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is too slow, only 60
symbols can be tested in one second, so let it test on average once
every 128 symbols. The other two functions validate all symbols.

If the basic functions test is passed, print only performance test
results. If the test fails, print error information, but do not perform
subsequent performance tests.

Start self-test automatically after system startup if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.

Example of output content: (prefix 'kallsyms_selftest:' is omitted

  ---------------------------------------------------------
 | nr_symbols | compressed size | original size | ratio(%) |
 |---------------------------------------------------------|
 |     107543 |       1357912   |      2407433  |  56.40   |
  ---------------------------------------------------------
 kallsyms_lookup_name() looked up 107543 symbols
 The time spent on each symbol is (ns): min=630, max=35295, avg=7353
 kallsyms_on_each_symbol() traverse all: 11782628 ns
 kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() traverse all: 9261 ns

<title>kbuild: upgrade the orphan section warning to an error if CONFIG_WERROR is set</title>

Andrew Cooper suggested upgrading the orphan section warning to a hard link
error. However Nathan Chancellor said outright turning the warning into an
error with no escape hatch might be too aggressive, as we have had these
warnings triggered by new compiler generated sections, and suggested turning
orphan sections into an error only if CONFIG_WERROR is set. Kees Cook echoed
and emphasized that the mandate from Linus is that we should avoid breaking
builds. It wrecks bisection, it causes problems across compiler versions, etc.

Thus upgrade the orphan section warning to a hard link error only if
CONFIG_WERROR is set.

Commit 3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS")
make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS.

When CONFIG_PROC_FS is not set and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y,
make menuconfig screams like this:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PROC_CHILDREN
  Depends on [n]: PROC_FS [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - CHECKPOINT_RESTORE [=y]

CHECKPOINT_RESTORE would select PROC_CHILDREN which depends on PROC_FS,
so add depends on PROC_FS to CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to fix this.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.
