Introduce support for enabling or disabling specific NVMe quirks at module
load time through the `quirks` module parameter.
This mechanism allows users to apply known quirks dynamically based on the
device's PCI vendor and device IDs, without requiring to add hardcoded
entries in the driver and recompiling the kernel.
While the generic PCI new_id sysfs interface exists for dynamic
configuration, it is insufficient for scenarios where the system fails
to boot (for example, this has been reported to happen because of the
bogus_nid quirk). The new_id attribute is writable only after the system
has booted and sysfs is mounted.
The `quirks` parameter accepts a list of quirk specifications separated by
a '-' character in the following format:
<VID>:<DID>:<quirk_names>[-<VID>:<DID>:<quirk_names>-..]
Each quirk is represented by its name and can be prefixed with `^` to
indicate that the quirk should be disabled; quirk names are separated by
a ',' character.
Example: enable BOGUS_NID and BROKEN_MSI, disable DEALLOCATE_ZEROES:
$ modprobe nvme quirks=7170:2210:bogus_nid,broken_msi,^deallocate_zeroes

Terminate the value search for a key if it hits a newline and make
the value empty.
When we pass a bootconfig with an empty value terminated by the
newline, like below::
foo =
bar = value
Current bootconfig interprets it as a single entry::
foo = "bar = value";
The Documentation/admin-guide/bootconfig.rst defines the value
itself is terminated by newline:
The value has to be terminated by semi-colon (``;``) or newline (``\n``).
but it does not define when the value search is terminated.
This changes the behavior to be more line-oriented, so that it is
clearer in how it works.
- The value search of key-value pair will be terminated by a comment
or newline.
- The value search of an array will continue beyond comments and
newlines.
Thus, with this update, the above example is interpreted as::
foo = "";
bar = "value";
And the below example will cause a syntax error because "bar" is expected
as a key but it has ','.
foo =
bar, buz
According to this change, one wrong example config is updated.

Due to commit 37c6dccd6837 ("cpufreq: Remove LATENCY_MULTIPLIER")
updating the acquisition logic of cpufreq_policy_transition_delay_us(),
the original description of 2 ms has become inaccurate.
Therefore, update the description of the default value for
rate_limit_us from 2ms to 1ms.

Add a kernel config option to set the default value of
workqueue.panic_on_stall, similar to CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC,
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC.
This allows setting the number of workqueue stalls before triggering
a kernel panic at build time, which is useful for high-availability
systems that need consistent panic-on-stall, in other words, those
servers which run with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_*_PANIC=y already.
The default remains 0 (disabled). Setting it to 1 will panic on the
first stall, and higher values will panic after that many stall
warnings. The value can still be overridden at runtime via the
workqueue.panic_on_stall boot parameter or sysfs.

Some platforms require panic handling to execute on a specific CPU for
crash dump to work reliably. This can be due to firmware limitations,
interrupt routing constraints, or platform-specific requirements where
only a single CPU is able to safely enter the crash kernel.
Add the panic_force_cpu= kernel command-line parameter to redirect panic
execution to a designated CPU. When the parameter is provided, the CPU
that initially triggers panic forwards the panic context to the target CPU
via IPI, which then proceeds with the normal panic and kexec flow.
The IPI delivery is implemented as a weak function
(panic_smp_redirect_cpu) so architectures with NMI support can override it
for more reliable delivery.
If the specified CPU is invalid, offline, or a panic is already in
progress on another CPU, the redirection is skipped and panic continues on
the current CPU.

Allow ML-DSA module signing to be enabled.
Note that OpenSSL's CMS_*() function suite does not, as of OpenSSL-3.6,
support the use of CMS_NOATTR with ML-DSA, so the prohibition against using
signedAttrs with module signing has to be removed. The selected digest
then applies only to the algorithm used to calculate the digest stored in
the messageDigest attribute. The OpenSSL development branch has patches
applied that fix this[1], but it appears that that will only be available
in OpenSSL-4.
[1] https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/28923
sign-file won't set CMS_NOATTR if openssl is earlier than v4, resulting in
the use of signed attributes.
The ML-DSA algorithm takes the raw data to be signed without regard to what
digest algorithm is specified in the CMS message. The CMS specified digest
algorithm is ignored unless signedAttrs are used; in such a case, only
SHA512 is permitted.

The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.
For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.
This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.
Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an
ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py.
For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

If a time slice extension is granted and the reschedule delayed, the kernel
has to ensure that user space cannot abuse the extension and exceed the
maximum granted time.
It was suggested to implement this via the existing hrtick() timer in the
scheduler, but that turned out to be problematic for several reasons:
1) It creates a dependency on CONFIG_SCHED_HRTICK, which can be disabled
independently of CONFIG_HIGHRES_TIMERS
2) HRTICK usage in the scheduler can be runtime disabled or is only used
for certain aspects of scheduling.
3) The function is calling into the scheduler code and that might have
unexpected consequences when this is invoked due to a time slice
enforcement expiry. Especially when the task managed to clear the
grant via sched_yield(0).
It would be possible to address #2 and #3 by storing state in the
scheduler, but that is extra complexity and fragility for no value.
Implement a dedicated per CPU hrtimer instead, which is solely used for the
purpose of time slice enforcement.
The timer is armed when an extension was granted right before actually
returning to user mode in rseq_exit_to_user_mode_restart().
It is disarmed, when the task relinquishes the CPU. This is expensive as
the timer is probably the first expiring timer on the CPU, which means it
has to reprogram the hardware. But that's less expensive than going through
a full hrtimer interrupt cycle for nothing.

The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic
immediately or never panic on soft lockups.
Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly
aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations.
Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist
undetected.
Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N
watchdog threshold periods. This provides finer-grained control to
distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures.
The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior)
- N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.)
The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups
while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

This reintroduces a concept removed by: commit d6cb41cc44c6 ("mm, hugetlb:
remove hugepages_treat_as_movable sysctl")
This sysctl provides flexibility between ZONE_MOVABLE use cases:
1) onlining memory in ZONE_MOVABLE to maintain hotplug compatibility
2) onlining memory in ZONE_MOVABLE to make hugepage allocate reliable
When ZONE_MOVABLE is used to make huge page allocation more reliable,
disallowing gigantic pages memory in this region is pointless. If hotplug
is not a requirement, we can loosen the restrictions to allow 1GB gigantic
pages in ZONE_MOVABLE.
Since 1GB can be difficult to migrate / has impacts on compaction /
defragmentation, we don't enable this by default. Notably, 1GB pages can
only be migrated if another 1GB page is available - so hot-unplug will
fail if such a page cannot be found.
However, since there are scenarios where gigantic pages are migratable, we
should allow use of these on movable regions.
When not valid 1GB is available for migration, hot-unplug will retry
indefinitely (or until interrupted). For example:
echo 0 > node0/hugepages/..-1GB/nr_hugepages # clear node0 1GB pages
echo 1 > node1/hugepages/..-1GB/nr_hugepages # reserve node1 1GB page
./alloc_huge_node1 & # Allocate a 1GB page on node1
./node1_offline & # attempt to offline all node1 memory
echo 1 > node0/hugepages/..-1GB/nr_hugepages # reserve node0 1GB page
In this example, node1_offline will block indefinitely until the final
step, when a node0 1GB page is made available.
Note: Boot-time CMA is not possible for driver-managed hotplug memory, as
CMA requires the memory to be registered as SystemRAM at boot time.
Additionally, 1GB huge pages are not supported by THP.

Laptop mode was introduced to save battery, by delaying and consolidating
writes and thereby maximize the time rotating hard drives wouldn't have to
spin.
Luckily, rotating hard drives, with their high spin-up times and power
draw, are a thing of the past for battery-powered devices. Reclaim has
also since changed to not write single filesystem pages anymore, and
regular filesystem writeback is lumpy by design.
The juice doesn't appear worth the squeeze anymore. The footprint of the
feature is small, but nevertheless it's a complicating factor in mm,
block, filesystems. Developers don't think about it, and it likely hasn't
been tested with new reclaim and writeback changes in years.
Let's sunset it. Keep the sysctl with a deprecation warning around for a
few more cycles, but remove all functionality behind it.

Add a dedicated ".dm-verity" keyring for root hash signature
verification, similar to the ".fs-verity" keyring used by fs-verity.
By default the keyring is unused retaining the exact same old behavior.
For systems that provision additional keys only intended for dm-verity
images during boot, the dm_verity.keyring_unsealed=1 kernel parameter
leaves the keyring open.
We want to use this in systemd as a way add keys during boot that are
only used for creating dm-verity devices for later mounting and nothing
else. The discoverable disk image (DDI) spec at [1] heavily relies on
dm-verity and we would like to expand this even more. This will allow us
to do that in a fully backward compatible way.
Once provisioning is complete, userspace restricts and activates it for
dm-verity verification. If userspace fully seals the keyring then it
gains the guarantee that no new keys can be added.

The SPCR provided console on x86 is only available as a boot console when
earlycon is provided on the kernel command line, and will not be present in
/proc/consoles.
While it's possible to retain the boot console with the keep_bootcon
parameter, that leaves the console using the less efficient 8250_early driver.
Users wanting to use the firmware suggested console (to avoid maintaining
unique serial console parameters for different server models in large fleets)
with the conventional driver have to parse the kernel log for the console
parameters and reinsert them.
[ 0.005091] ACPI: SPCR 0x000000007FFB5000 000059 (v04 ALASKA A M I 01072009 INTL 20250404)
[ 0.073387] ACPI: SPCR: console: uart,io,0x3f8,115200
In commit
0231d00082f6 ("ACPI: SPCR: Make SPCR available to x86")¹
the SPCR console was only added as an option for earlycon but not as an
ordinary console so users don't see console output changes.
So users can opt in to an automatic SPCR console, make ACPI init add it if
acpi=spcr is set.

In blamed commit, I added a check against the temporary queue
built in __dev_xmit_skb(). Idea was to drop packets early,
before any spinlock was acquired.
if (unlikely(defer_count > READ_ONCE(q->limit))) {
kfree_skb_reason(skb, SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP);
return NET_XMIT_DROP;
}
It turned out that HTB Qdisc has a zero q->limit.
HTB limits packets on a per-class basis.
Some of our tests became flaky.
Add a new sysctl : net.core.qdisc_max_burst to control
how many packets can be stored in the temporary lockless queue.
Also add a new QDISC_BURST_DROP drop reason to better diagnose
future issues.
Thanks Neal !
