Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application

   Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have
   unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page
   faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority
   inheritance.

   However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these
   real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate
   as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to
   understand, and error-prone.

   For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable.
   The LTL is more concise and intuitive.

 - Make printk_deferred() public

   The new monitors needed access to printk_deferred(). Make them
   visible for the entire kernel.

 - Add a vpanic() to allow for va_list to be passed to panic.

 - Add rtapp container monitor.

   A collection of monitors that check for common problems with
   real-time applications that cause unexpected latency.

 - Add page fault tracepoints to risc-v

   These tracepoints are necessary to for the RV monitor to run on
   risc-v.

 - Fix the behaviour of the rv tool with -s and idle tasks.

 - Allow the rv tool to gracefully terminate with SIGTERM

 - Adjusts dot2c not to create lines over 100 columns

 - Properly order nested monitors in the RV Kconfig file

 - Return the registration error in all DA monitor instead of 0

 - Update and add new sched collection monitors

   Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts:

   Not only prove that switches occur in scheduling context and scheduling
   needs interrupt disabled but also that each call to the scheduler
   disables interrupts to (optionally) switch.

   New monitor: nrp
     Preemption requires need resched which is cleared by any switch
     (includes a non optimal workaround for /nested/ preemptions)

   New monitor: sssw
     suspension requires setting the task to sleepable and, after the
     switch occurs, the task requires a wakeup to come back to runnable

   New monitor: opid
      waking and need-resched operations occur with interrupts and
      preemption disabled or in IRQ without explicitly disabling
      preemption"

The Clang stack depth tracking implementation has a fixed name for
the stack depth tracking callback, "__sanitizer_cov_stack_depth", so
rename the GCC plugin function to match since the plugin has no external
dependencies on naming.

<id>57fbad15c2eee77276a541c616589b32976d2b8e</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:

- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
  implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
  stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
  but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
  for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
  many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.

While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

Starting with Rust 1.89.0 (expected 2025-08-07), under
`CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`, `objtool` may report:

    rust/kernel.o: warning: objtool: _R..._6kernel4pageNtB5_4Page8read_raw()
    falls through to next function _R..._6kernel4pageNtB5_4Page9write_raw()

(and many others) due to calls to the `noreturn` symbol:

    core::panicking::panic_nounwind_fmt

Thus add the mangled one to the list so that `objtool` knows it is
actually `noreturn`.

See commit 56d680dd23c3 ("objtool/rust: list `noreturn` Rust functions")
for more details.

vpanic() does not return. However, objtool doesn't know this and gets
confused:

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - KUnit '#[test]'s:

      - Support KUnit-mapped 'assert!' macros.

        The support that landed last cycle was very basic, and the
        'assert!' macros panicked since they were the standard library
        ones. Now, they are mapped to the KUnit ones in a similar way to
        how is done for doctests, reusing the infrastructure there.

        With this, a failing test like:

            #[test]
            fn my_first_test() {
                assert_eq!(42, 43);
            }

        will report:

            # my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251
            Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false
            # my_first_test.speed: normal
            not ok 1 my_first_test

      - Support tests with checked 'Result' return types.

        The return value of test functions that return a 'Result' will
        be checked, thus one can now easily catch errors when e.g. using
        the '?' operator in tests.

        With this, a failing test like:

            #[test]
            fn my_test() -&gt; Result {
                f()?;
                Ok(())
            }

        will report:

            # my_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:321
            Expected is_test_result_ok(my_test()) to be true, but is false
            # my_test.speed: normal
            not ok 1 my_test

      - Add 'kunit_tests' to the prelude.

   - Clarify the remaining language unstable features in use.

   - Compile 'core' with edition 2024 for Rust &gt;= 1.87.

   - Workaround 'bindgen' issue with forward references to 'enum' types.

   - objtool: relax slice condition to cover more 'noreturn' functions.

   - Use absolute paths in macros referencing 'core' and 'kernel'
     crates.

   - Skip '-mno-fdpic' flag for bindgen in GCC 32-bit arm builds.

   - Clean some 'doc_markdown' lint hits -- we may enable it later on.

  'kernel' crate:

   - 'alloc' module:

      - 'Box': support for type coercion, e.g. 'Box&lt;T&gt;' to 'Box&lt;dyn U&gt;'
        if 'T' implements 'U'.

      - 'Vec': implement new methods (prerequisites for nova-core and
        binder): 'truncate', 'resize', 'clear', 'pop',
        'push_within_capacity' (with new error type 'PushError'),
        'drain_all', 'retain', 'remove' (with new error type
        'RemoveError'), insert_within_capacity' (with new error type
        'InsertError').

        In addition, simplify 'push' using 'spare_capacity_mut', split
        'set_len' into 'inc_len' and 'dec_len', add type invariant 'len
        &lt;= capacity' and simplify 'truncate' using 'dec_len'.

   - 'time' module:

      - Morph the Rust hrtimer subsystem into the Rust timekeeping
        subsystem, covering delay, sleep, timekeeping, timers. This new
        subsystem has all the relevant timekeeping C maintainers listed
        in the entry.

      - Replace 'Ktime' with 'Delta' and 'Instant' types to represent a
        duration of time and a point in time.

      - Temporarily add 'Ktime' to 'hrtimer' module to allow 'hrtimer'
        to delay converting to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.

   - 'xarray' module:

      - Add a Rust abstraction for the 'xarray' data structure. This
        abstraction allows Rust code to leverage the 'xarray' to store
        types that implement 'ForeignOwnable'. This support is a
        dependency for memory backing feature of the Rust null block
        driver, which is waiting to be merged.

      - Set up an entry in 'MAINTAINERS' for the XArray Rust support.
        Patches will go to the new Rust XArray tree and then via the
        Rust subsystem tree for now.

      - Allow 'ForeignOwnable' to carry information about the pointed-to
        type. This helps asserting alignment requirements for the
        pointer passed to the foreign language.

   - 'container_of!': retain pointer mut-ness and add a compile-time
     check of the type of the first parameter ('$field_ptr').

   - Support optional message in 'static_assert!'.

   - Add C FFI types (e.g. 'c_int') to the prelude.

   - 'str' module: simplify KUnit tests 'format!' macro, convert
     'rusttest' tests into KUnit, take advantage of the '-&gt; Result'
     support in KUnit '#[test]'s.

   - 'list' module: add examples for 'List', fix path of
     'assert_pinned!' (so far unused macro rule).

   - 'workqueue' module: remove 'HasWork::OFFSET'.

   - 'page' module: add 'inline' attribute.

  'macros' crate:

   - 'module' macro: place 'cleanup_module()' in '.exit.text' section.

  'pin-init' crate:

   - Add 'Wrapper&lt;T&gt;' trait for creating pin-initializers for wrapper
     structs with a structurally pinned value such as 'UnsafeCell&lt;T&gt;' or
     'MaybeUninit&lt;T&gt;'.

   - Add 'MaybeZeroable' derive macro to try to derive 'Zeroable', but
     not error if not all fields implement it. This is needed to derive
     'Zeroable' for all bindgen-generated structs.

   - Add 'unsafe fn cast_[pin_]init()' functions to unsafely change the
     initialized type of an initializer. These are utilized by the
     'Wrapper&lt;T&gt;' implementations.

   - Add support for visibility in 'Zeroable' derive macro.

   - Add support for 'union's in 'Zeroable' derive macro.

   - Upstream dev news: streamline CI, fix some bugs. Add new workflows
     to check if the user-space version and the one in the kernel tree
     have diverged. Use the issues tab [1] to track them, which should
     help folks report and diagnose issues w.r.t. 'pin-init' better.

       [1] https://github.com/rust-for-linux/pin-init/issues

  Documentation:

   - Testing: add docs on the new KUnit '#[test]' tests.

   - Coding guidelines: explain that '///' vs. '//' applies to private
     items too. Add section on C FFI types.

   - Quick Start guide: update Ubuntu instructions and split them into
     "25.04" and "24.04 LTS and older".

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Boot code changes:

   - A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a
     better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup
     code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.

     Motivation &amp; background:

  	| Since commit
  	|
  	|    c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
  	|
  	| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
  	| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
  	| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
  	| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
  	| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
  	| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
  	| without crashing.
  	|
  	| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
  	| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
  	| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
  	| annotations or helpers to access global objects.

     This tree includes the first phase of this work-in-progress x86
     boot code reorganization.

  Scalability enhancements and micro-optimizations:

   - Improve code-patching scalability (Eric Dumazet)

   - Remove MFENCEs for X86_BUG_CLFLUSH_MONITOR (Andrew Cooper)

  CPU features enumeration updates:

   - Thorough reorganization and cleanup of CPUID parsing APIs (Ahmed S.
     Darwish)

   - Fix, refactor and clean up the cacheinfo code (Ahmed S. Darwish,
     Thomas Gleixner)

   - Update CPUID bitfields to x86-cpuid-db v2.3 (Ahmed S. Darwish)

  Memory management changes:

   - Allow temporary MMs when IRQs are on (Andy Lutomirski)

   - Opt-in to IRQs-off activate_mm() (Andy Lutomirski)

   - Simplify choose_new_asid() and generate better code (Borislav
     Petkov)

   - Simplify 32-bit PAE page table handling (Dave Hansen)

   - Always use dynamic memory layout (Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Make SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the only memory model (Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Make 5-level paging support unconditional (Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Stop prefetching current-&gt;mm-&gt;mmap_lock on page faults (Mateusz
     Guzik)

   - Predict valid_user_address() returning true (Mateusz Guzik)

   - Consolidate initmem_init() (Mike Rapoport)

  FPU support and vector computing:

   - Enable Intel APX support (Chang S. Bae)

   - Reorgnize and clean up the xstate code (Chang S. Bae)

   - Make task_struct::thread constant size (Ingo Molnar)

   - Restore fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() to fix
     CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y (Kees Cook)

   - Simplify the switch_fpu_prepare() + switch_fpu_finish() logic (Oleg
     Nesterov)

   - Always preserve non-user xfeatures/flags in __state_perm (Sean
     Christopherson)

  Microcode loader changes:

   - Help users notice when running old Intel microcode (Dave Hansen)

   - AMD: Do not return error when microcode update is not necessary
     (Annie Li)

   - AMD: Clean the cache if update did not load microcode (Boris
     Ostrovsky)

  Code patching (alternatives) changes:

   - Simplify, reorganize and clean up the x86 text-patching code (Ingo
     Molnar)

   - Make smp_text_poke_batch_process() subsume
     smp_text_poke_batch_finish() (Nikolay Borisov)

   - Refactor the {,un}use_temporary_mm() code (Peter Zijlstra)

  Debugging support:

   - Add early IDT and GDT loading to debug relocate_kernel() bugs
     (David Woodhouse)

   - Print the reason for the last reset on modern AMD CPUs (Yazen
     Ghannam)

   - Add AMD Zen debugging document (Mario Limonciello)

   - Fix opcode map (!REX2) superscript tags (Masami Hiramatsu)

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Boot code changes:

   - A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a
     better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup
     code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.

     Motivation &amp; background:

  	| Since commit
  	|
  	|    c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
  	|
  	| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
  	| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
  	| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
  	| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
  	| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
  	| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
  	| without crashing.
  	|
  	| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
  	| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
  	| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
  	| annotations or helpers to access global objects.

     This tree includes the first phase of this work-in-progress x86
     boot code reorganization.

  Scalability enhancements and micro-optimizations:

   - Improve code-patching scalability (Eric Dumazet)

     Thomas Gleixner)

   - Update CPUID bitfields to x86-cpuid-db v2.3 (Ahmed S. Darwish)

  Memory management changes:

   - Allow temporary MMs when IRQs are on (Andy Lutomirski)

   - Simplify choose_new_asid() and generate better code (Borislav
     Petkov)

   - Simplify 32-bit PAE page table handling (Dave Hansen)
