Pull memblock update from Mike Rapoport:
 "Report failures when memblock_can_resize is not set.

  Numerous memblock reservations at early boot may exhaust static
  memblock.reserved array and it is unnoticed because most of the
  callers don't check memblock_reserve() return value.

  In this case the system will crash later, but the reason is hard to
  identify.

  Replace return of an error with panic() when memblock.reserved is
  exhausted before it can be resized"

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
  and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.

  The lengthier patch series are

   - 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
     in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
     consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling

   - After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
     min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
     the use of min_t() and max_t()

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Kemeng Shi has contributed some compation maintenance work in the
     series 'Fixes and cleanups to compaction'

   - Joel Fernandes has a patchset ('Optimize mremap during mutual
     alignment within PMD') which fixes an obscure issue with mremap()'s
     pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
     implementation which Linus suggested

   - More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i
     the following patch series:

	mm/damon: misc fixups for documents, comments and its tracepoint
	mm/damon: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions
	mm/damon: provide pseudo-moving sum based access rate
	mm/damon: implement DAMOS apply intervals

   - In the series 'Do not try to access unaccepted memory' Adrian
     Hunter provides some fixups for the recently-added 'unaccepted
     memory' feature. To increase the feature's checking coverage. 'Plug
     a few gaps where RAM is exposed without checking if it is
     unaccepted memory'

   - In the series 'cleanups for lockless slab shrink' Qi Zheng has done
     some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab
     shrinking code

   - Qi Zheng has redone the earlier (and reverted) attempt to make slab
     shrinking lockless in the series 'use refcount+RCU method to
     implement lockless slab shrink'

   - David Hildenbrand contributes some maintenance work for the rmap
     code in the series 'Anon rmap cleanups'

   - Kefeng Wang does more folio conversions and some maintenance work
     in the migration code. Series 'mm: migrate: more folio conversion
     and unification'

   - Matthew Wilcox has fixed an issue in the buffer_head code which was
     causing long stalls under some heavy memory/IO loads. Some cleanups
     were added on the way. Series 'Add and use bdev_getblk()'

   - In the series 'Use nth_page() in place of direct struct page
     manipulation' Zi Yan has fixed a potential issue with the direct
     manipulation of hugetlb page frames

   - In the series 'mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail
     struct pages if freed by HVO' has improved our handling of gigantic
     pages in the hugetlb vmmemmep optimizaton code. This provides
     significant boot time improvements when significant amounts of
     gigantic pages are in use

   - Matthew Wilcox has sent the series 'Small hugetlb cleanups' - code
     rationalization and folio conversions in the hugetlb code

     series 'support large folio for mlock'

   - In the series 'Expose swapcache stat for memcg v1' Liu Shixin has
     added statistics for memcg v1 users which are available (and
     useful) under memcg v2

   - Florent Revest has enhanced the MDWE (Memory-Deny-Write-Executable)
     prctl so that userspace may direct the kernel to not automatically
     propagate the denial to child processes. The series is named 'MDWE
     without inheritance'

   - Kefeng Wang has provided the series 'mm: convert numa balancing
     functions to use a folio' which does what it says

   - In the series 'mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl' Stefan
     Roesch makes is possible for a process to propagate KSM treatment
     across exec()

   - Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
     distances. This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use 'high
     bandwidth memory' in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent
     Memory Modules (DCPMM). The series is named 'memory tiering:
     calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT'

   - In the series 'Smart scanning mode for KSM' Stefan Roesch has
     optimized KSM by teaching it to retain and use some historical
     information from previous scans

   - Yosry Ahmed has fixed some inconsistencies in memcg statistics in
     the series 'mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates
     values'

   - In the series 'Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info
     about PTEs' Peter Xu has added an ioctl to /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/pagemap
     which permits us to atomically read-then-clear page softdirty
     state. This is mainly used by CRIU

   - Hugh Dickins contributed the series 'shmem,tmpfs: general
     maintenance', a bunch of relatively minor maintenance tweaks to
     this code

   - Matthew Wilcox has increased the use of the VMA lock over
     file-backed page faults in the series 'Handle more faults under the
     VMA lock'. Some rationalizations of the fault path became possible
     as a result

   - In the series 'mm/rmap: convert page_move_anon_rmap() to
     folio_move_anon_rmap()' David Hildenbrand has implemented some
     cleanups and folio conversions

   - In the series 'various improvements to the GUP interface' Lorenzo
     Stoakes has simplified and improved the GUP interface with an eye
     to providing groundwork for future improvements

   - Andrey Konovalov has sent along the series 'kasan: assorted fixes
     and improvements' which does those things

   - Some page allocator maintenance work from Kemeng Shi in the series
     'Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages'

   - In thes series 'New selftest for mm' Breno Leitao has developed
     another MM self test which tickles a race we had between madvise()
     and page faults

   - In the series 'Add folio_end_read' Matthew Wilcox provides cleanups
     and an optimization to the core pagecache code

   - Nhat Pham has added memcg accounting for hugetlb memory in the

     Stoakes, in the series 'Abstract vma_merge() and split_vma()'

   - Audra Mitchell has fixed issues in the procfs page_owner code's new
     timestamping feature which was causing some misbehaviours. In the
     series 'Fix page_owner's use of free timestamps'

   - Lorenzo Stoakes has fixed the handling of new mappings of sealed
     files in the series 'permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared
     mappings'

   - Mike Kravetz has optimized the hugetlb vmemmap optimization in the
     series 'Batch hugetlb vmemmap modification operations'

   - Some buffer_head folio conversions and cleanups from Matthew Wilcox
     in the series 'Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition'

   - As a page allocator performance optimization Huang Ying has added
     automatic tuning to the allocator's per-cpu-pages feature, in the
     series 'mm: PCP high auto-tuning'

   - Roman Gushchin has contributed the patchset 'mm: improve
     performance of accounted kernel memory allocations' which improves
     their performance by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark

   - folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series 'mm: convert page
     cpupid functions to folios'

   - Some kmemleak fixups in Liu Shixin's series 'Some bugfix about
     kmemleak'

   - Qi Zheng has improved our handling of memoryless nodes by keeping
     them off the allocation fallback list. This is done in the series
     'handle memoryless nodes more appropriately'

   - khugepaged conversions from Vishal Moola in the series 'Some
     khugepaged folio conversions'"

[ bcachefs conflicts with the dynamically allocated shrinkers have been
  resolved as per Stephen Rothwell in

     https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913093553.4290421e@canb.auug.org.au/

Pull ia64 removal and asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:

 - The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
   now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will be
   maintained as an LTS kernel.

 - The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the
   added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the
   long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

<title>mm/damon/sysfs: update monitoring target regions for online input commit</title>

When user input is committed online, DAMON sysfs interface is ignoring the
user input for the monitoring target regions.  Such request is valid and
useful for fixed monitoring target regions-based monitoring ops like
'paddr' or 'fvaddr'.

Update the region boundaries as user specified, too.  Note that the
monitoring results of the regions that overlap between the latest
monitoring target regions and the new target regions are preserved.

Treat empty monitoring target regions user request as a request to just
make no change to the monitoring target regions.  Otherwise, users should
set the monitoring target regions same to current one for every online
input commit, and it could be challenging for dynamic monitoring target
regions update DAMON ops like 'vaddr'.  If the user really need to remove
all monitoring target regions, they can simply remove the target and then
create the target again with empty target regions.

damon_sysfs_set_targets(), which updates the targets of the context for
online commitment, do not remove targets that removed from the
corresponding sysfs files.  As a result, more than intended targets of the
context can exist and hence consume memory and monitoring CPU resource
more than expected.

Fix it by removing all targets of the context and fill up again using the
user input.  This could cause unnecessary memory dealloc and realloc
operations, but this is not a hot code path.  Also, note that damon_target
is stateless, and hence no data is lost.

LKP reported smatch warning as below:

===================
smatch warnings:
mm/vmalloc.c:3689 vread_iter() error: we previously assumed 'vm' could be null (see line 3667)
......
06c8994626d1b7  @3667 size = vm ? get_vm_area_size(vm) : va_size(va);
......
06c8994626d1b7  @3689 else if (!(vm-&gt;flags &amp; VM_IOREMAP))
                                 ^^^^^^^^^
Unchecked dereference
=====================

This is not a runtime bug because the possible null 'vm' in the
pointed place could only happen when flags == VMAP_BLOCK.  However, the
case 'flags == VMAP_BLOCK' should never happen and has been detected
with WARN_ON.  Please check vm_map_ram() implementation and the earlier
checking in vread_iter() at below:

                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                /*
                 * VMAP_BLOCK indicates a sub-type of vm_map_ram area, need
                 * be set together with VMAP_RAM.
                 */
                WARN_ON(flags == VMAP_BLOCK);

                if (!vm &amp;&amp; !flags)
                        continue;
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So add checking on whether 'vm' could be null when dereferencing it in
vread_iter(). This mutes smatch complaint.

During a zswap store attempt, the compression algorithm could fail (for
e.g due to the page containing incompressible random data).  This is not
tracked in any of existing zswap counters, making it hard to monitor for
and investigate.  We have run into this problem several times in our
internal investigations on zswap store failures.

This patch adds a dedicated debugfs counter for compression algorithm
failures.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
     route attribute.

   - Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
     a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
     on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -&gt; 120Gbit).

   - The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
       - add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
       - support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
       - improve inactive flow reporting
       - optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality

   - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
     replacement for the old MD5 option.

   - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
     TCP_INFO.

   - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

   - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
     shutdown().

   - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
     Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

   - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

   - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

   - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
     limit the number of wakeups.

   - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
     space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
     table.

   - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

   - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

   - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
     created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
     runtime.

   - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
     filters.

   - MCTP over I3C.

  BPF:

   - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
     the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

   - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
     be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
     flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

          https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

   - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
     per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
     value for the current CPU.

     This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
     storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

   - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
     for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
     running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
     of different services.

   - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
     made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

   - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
     use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

   - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

   - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

   - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
     fentry/fexit programs.

   - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
     kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

   - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

   - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

  Changes to common code:

   - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
     flexible array members.

   - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

  Driver API:

   - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
     mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

   - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
     querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
     network time distribution.

   - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
     Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

   - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

   - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
     correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
     addresses.

   - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

   - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

   - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

  Misc:

   - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

   - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

   - A lot of strncpy -&gt; strscpy and printf format fixes.

   - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

   - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

  Removed:

   - AppleTalk COPS.

   - AppleTalk ipddp.

   - TI AR7 CPMAC Ethernet driver.

  Drivers:

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - add a driver for the Intel E2000 IPUs
         - make CRC/FCS stripping configurable
         - cross-timestamping for E823 devices
         - basic support for E830 devices
         - use aux-bus for managing client drivers
         - i40e: report firmware versions via devlink
      - nVidia/Mellanox:
         - support 4-port NICs
         - increase max number of channels to 256
         - optimize / parallelize SF creation flow
      - Broadcom (bnxt):
         - enhance NIC temperature reporting
         - support PAM4 speeds and lane configuration
      - Marvell OcteonTX2:
         - PTP pulse-per-second output support
         - enable hardware timestamping for VFs
      - Solarflare/AMD:
         - conntrack NAT offload and offload for tunnels

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
     route attribute.

   - Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
     a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
     on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -&gt; 120Gbit).

   - The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
       - add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
       - support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
       - improve inactive flow reporting
       - optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality

   - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
     replacement for the old MD5 option.

   - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
     TCP_INFO.

   - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

   - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
     shutdown().

   - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
     Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

   - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

   - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

   - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
     limit the number of wakeups.

   - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
     space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
     table.

   - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

   - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

   - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
     created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
     runtime.

   - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
     filters.

   - MCTP over I3C.

  BPF:

   - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
     the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

   - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
     be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
     flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

          https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

   - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
     per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
     value for the current CPU.

     This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
     storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

   - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
     for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
     running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
     of different services.

   - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
     made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

   - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
     use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

   - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

   - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

   - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
     fentry/fexit programs.

   - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
     kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

   - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

   - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

  Changes to common code:

   - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
     flexible array members.

   - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

  Driver API:

   - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
     mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

   - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
     querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
     network time distribution.

   - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
     Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

   - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

   - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
     correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
     addresses.

   - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

   - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

   - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

  Misc:

   - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

   - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

   - A lot of strncpy -&gt; strscpy and printf format fixes.

   - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

   - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

  Removed:

   - AppleTalk COPS.

   - AppleTalk ipddp.

   - TI AR7 CPMAC Ethernet driver.

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):

Pull execve updates from Kees Cook:

 - Support non-BSS ELF segments with zero filesz

   Eric Biederman and I refactored ELF segment loading to handle the
   case where a segment has a smaller filesz than memsz. Traditionally
   linkers only did this for .bss and it was always the last segment. As
   a result, the kernel only handled this case when it was the last
   segment. We've had two recent cases where linkers were trying to use
   these kinds of segments for other reasons, and the were in the middle
   of the segment list. There was no good reason for the kernel not to
   support this, and the refactor actually ends up making things more
   readable too.

 - Enable namespaced binfmt_misc

   Christian Brauner has made it possible to use binfmt_misc with mount
   namespaces. This means some traditionally root-only interfaces (for
   adding/removing formats) are now more exposed (but believed to be
   safe).

 - Remove struct tag 'dynamic' from ELF UAPI

   Alejandro Colomar noticed that the ELF UAPI has been polluting the
   struct namespace with an unused and overly generic tag named
   "dynamic" for no discernible reason for many many years. After
   double-checking various distro source repositories, it has been
   removed.

 - Clean up binfmt_elf_fdpic debug output (Greg Ungerer)
