In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support
runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios. In the meantime it evolved
into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic
hugetlb folios.
In commit fae7d834c43c ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could
have folios larger than what the buddy can handle. In the context of that
commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when
dumping tail pages of folios. Before that commit, we assumed that we
cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was
obviously wrong.
In commit 7b4f21f5e038 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes
when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect
inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now.
Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot
(not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can
exceed PUD_ORDER.
To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with
hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16
GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit
(powerpc). Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually
have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER,
but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally:
we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in
__dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in
the system.
Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size
and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios. Let's
defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first.
While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up
creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.
Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer.
In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE.
Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now
also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs.
I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through
__HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED.
While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling
dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem
critical enough to mark it as a fix.

Patch series "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
implementations", v6.
This patch series addresses the fragmentation in KASAN initialization
across architectures by introducing a unified approach that eliminates
duplicate static keys and arch-specific kasan_arch_is_ready()
implementations.
The core issue is that different architectures have inconsistent approaches
to KASAN readiness tracking:
- PowerPC, LoongArch, and UML arch, each implement own kasan_arch_is_ready()
- Only HW_TAGS mode had a unified static key (kasan_flag_enabled)
- Generic and SW_TAGS modes relied on arch-specific solutions
or always-on behavior
This patch (of 2):
Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_DEFER_KASAN to identify architectures [1] that need
to defer KASAN initialization until shadow memory is properly set up, and
unify the static key infrastructure across all KASAN modes.
[1] PowerPC, UML, LoongArch selects ARCH_DEFER_KASAN.
The core issue is that different architectures haveinconsistent approaches
to KASAN readiness tracking:
- PowerPC, LoongArch, and UML arch, each implement own
kasan_arch_is_ready()
- Only HW_TAGS mode had a unified static key (kasan_flag_enabled)
- Generic and SW_TAGS modes relied on arch-specific solutions or always-on
behavior
This patch addresses the fragmentation in KASAN initialization across
architectures by introducing a unified approach that eliminates duplicate
static keys and arch-specific kasan_arch_is_ready() implementations.
Let's replace kasan_arch_is_ready() with existing kasan_enabled() check,
which examines the static key being enabled if arch selects
ARCH_DEFER_KASAN or has HW_TAGS mode support. For other arch,
kasan_enabled() checks the enablement during compile time.
Now KASAN users can use a single kasan_enabled() check everywhere.

Since commit 4346ba160409 ("fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph
tracer"), FPROBE depends on HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS. With previous
patch adding HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS for powerpc, FPROBE can be
enabled on powerpc. But with the commit b5fa903b7f7c ("fprobe: Add
fprobe_header encoding feature"), asm/fprobe.h header is needed to
define arch dependent encode/decode macros. The fprobe header MSB
pattern on powerpc is not 0xf. So, define FPROBE_HEADER_MSB_PATTERN
expected on powerpc.
Also, commit 762abbc0d09f ("fprobe: Use ftrace_regs in fprobe exit
handler") introduced HAVE_FTRACE_REGS_HAVING_PT_REGS for archs that
have pt_regs in ftrace_regs. Advertise that on powerpc to reuse
common definitions like ftrace_partial_regs().

commit a1be9ccc57f0 ("function_graph: Support recording and printing the
return value of function") introduced support for function graph return
value tracing.
Additionally, commit a3ed4157b7d8 ("fgraph: Replace fgraph_ret_regs with
ftrace_regs") further refactored and optimized the implementation,
making `struct fgraph_ret_regs` unnecessary.
This patch enables the above modifications for powerpc all, ensuring that
function graph return value tracing is available on this architecture.
In this patch we have redefined two functions:
- 'ftrace_regs_get_return_value()' - the existing implementation on
ppc returns -ve of return value based on some conditions not
relevant to our patch.
- 'ftrace_regs_get_frame_pointer()' - always returns 0 in current code .
We also allocate stack space to equivalent of 'SWITCH_FRAME_SIZE',
allowing us to directly use predefined offsets like 'GPR3' and 'GPR4'
this keeps code clean and consistent with already defined offsets .
After this patch, v6.14+ kernel can also be built with FPROBE on powerpc
but there are a few other build and runtime dependencies for FPROBE to
work properly. The next patch addresses them.

Leon [1] and Vinicius [2] noted a topology_span_sane() warning during
their testing starting from v6.16-rc1. Debug that followed pointed to
the tl->mask() for the NODE domain being incorrectly resolved to that of
the highest NUMA domain.
tl->mask() for NODE is set to the sd_numa_mask() which depends on the
global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack. "sched_domains_curr_level" is
set to the "tl->numa_level" during tl traversal in build_sched_domains()
calling sd_init() but was not reset before topology_span_sane().
Since "tl->numa_level" still reflected the old value from
build_sched_domains(), topology_span_sane() for the NODE domain trips
when the span of the last NUMA domain overlaps.
Instead of replicating the "sched_domains_curr_level" hack, get rid of
it entirely and instead, pass the entire "sched_domain_topology_level"
object to tl->cpumask() function to prevent such mishap in the future.
sd_numa_mask() now directly references "tl->numa_level" instead of
relying on the global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack to index into
sched_domains_numa_masks[].
The original warning was reproducible on the following NUMA topology
reported by Leon:
$ sudo numactl -H
available: 5 nodes (0-4)
node 0 cpus: 0 1

The above topology can be mimicked using the following QEMU cmd that was

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
"cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.
I never knew the MM code was so dirty.
"mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
VMAs.
"mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
DAMON in production environments.
"stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
pointers from struct writeback_control.
"drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
management code.
"mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.
"Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
into order>0 folios.
"selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
selftests code.
"Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.
"Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().
"mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.
"mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.
"use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
types.
"mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
code.
"mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.
"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
sysfs layer.
"madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.
"madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.
"Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
on/offline notifier.
"Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
"selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.
"Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.
"cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
allocator.
"mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.
"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
"mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
does that.
"mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
also does what it claims.
"mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.
"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
policy.
"Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.
"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.
"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.
"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
directly.
"use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
"__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
cleans up __folio_split()!
"Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.
"selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
does some cleanup work in the selftests code.
"tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
"selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
subset"

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not
Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
working as expected.
- Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it
As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.
- Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it
redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
- Make pid_ptr string size match the comment
In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the
comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.

Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

Now that DAX and all other reference counts to ZONE_DEVICE pages are
managed normally there is no need for the special devmap PTE/PMD/PUD page
table bits. So drop all references to these, freeing up a software
defined page table bit on architectures supporting it.

Move the powerpc-optimized CRC code from arch/powerpc/lib/crc* into its
new location in lib/crc/powerpc/, and wire it up in the new way. This
new way of organizing the CRC code eliminates the need to artificially
split the code for each CRC variant into separate arch and generic
modules, enabling better inlining and dead code elimination. For more
details, see "lib/crc: Prepare for arch-optimized code in subdirs of
lib/crc/".

8xx has three large page sizes: 8M, 512k and 16k.
A too big alignment can lead to wasting memory. On a board which has
only 32 MBytes of RAM, every single byte is worth it and a 512k
alignment is sometimes too much.
Allow mapping kernel memory with 16k pages and reduce the constraint
on kernel memory alignment. 512k and 16k pages are handled the same
way so reverse tests in order to make 8M pages the special case and
other ones (512k and 16k) the alternative.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.
- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.
- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the

kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
huge page sizes.
- The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"

Platforms subscribe into generic ptdump implementation via GENERIC_PTDUMP.
But generic ptdump gets enabled via PTDUMP_CORE. These configs
combination is confusing as they sound very similar and does not
differentiate between platform's feature subscription and feature
enablement for ptdump. Rename the configs as ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP and PTDUMP
making it more clear and improve readability.

Commit 0ab97169aa05 ("crash_core: add generic function to do reservation")
added a generic function to reserve crashkernel memory. So let's use the
same function on powerpc and remove the architecture-specific code that
essentially does the same thing.
The generic crashkernel reservation also provides a way to split the
crashkernel reservation into high and low memory reservations, which can
be enabled for powerpc in the future.
Along with moving to the generic crashkernel reservation, the code related
to finding the base address for the crashkernel has been separated into
its own function name get_crash_base() for better readability and
maintainability.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure
The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.
The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
method does not scale.
The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started,
every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that
is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to
allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be
one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe
methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new
technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of
hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only
one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex.
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer
When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
greatly improves its performance.
- Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
kernel command line.
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
(before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

Define preempt lazy bit for Powerpc. Use bit 9 which is free and within
16 bit range of NEED_RESCHED, so compiler can issue single andi.
Since Powerpc doesn't use the generic entry/exit, add lazy check at exit
to user. CONFIG_PREEMPTION is defined for lazy/full/rt so use it for
return to kernel.
Ran a few benchmarks and db workload on Power10. Performance is close to
preempt=none/voluntary.
Since Powerpc systems can have large core count and large memory,
preempt lazy is going to be helpful in avoiding soft lockup issues.

Pull vdso data page handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"First steps of consolidating the VDSO data page handling.
The VDSO data page handling is architecture specific for historical
reasons, but there is no real technical reason to do so.
Aside of that VDSO data has become a dump ground for various
mechanisms and fail to provide a clear separation of the
functionalities.
Clean this up by:
- consolidating the VDSO page data by getting rid of architecture
specific warts especially in x86 and PowerPC.
- removing the last includes of header files which are pulling in
other headers outside of the VDSO namespace.
- seperating timekeeping and other VDSO data accordingly.
Further consolidation of the VDSO page handling is done in subsequent
changes scheduled for the next merge window.
This also lays the ground for expanding the VDSO time getters for
independent PTP clocks in a generic way without making every
architecture add support seperately"

Fixes boot failures on 6.9 on PPC_BOOK3S_32 machines using Open Firmware.
On these machines, the kernel refuses to boot from non-zero
PHYSICAL_START, which occurs when CRASH_DUMP is on.
Since most PPC_BOOK3S_32 machines boot via Open Firmware, it should
default to off for them. Users booting via some other mechanism can still
turn it on explicitly.

Add powerpc 32-bit and 64-bit samples for ftrace direct. This serves to
show the sample instruction sequence to be used by ftrace direct calls
to adhere to the ftrace ABI.
On 64-bit powerpc, TOC setup requires some additional work.

Add support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS similar to the arm64
implementation.
ftrace direct calls allow custom trampolines to be called into directly
from function ftrace call sites, bypassing the ftrace trampoline
completely. This functionality is currently utilized by BPF trampolines
to hook into kernel function entries.
Since we have limited relative branch range, we support ftrace direct
calls through support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS. In this
approach, ftrace trampoline is not entirely bypassed. Rather, it is
re-purposed into a stub that reads direct_call field from the associated
ftrace_ops structure and branches into that, if it is not NULL. For
this, it is sufficient if we can ensure that the ftrace trampoline is
reachable from all traceable functions.
When multiple ftrace_ops are associated with a call site, we utilize a
call back to set pt_regs->orig_gpr3 that can then be tested on the
return path from the ftrace trampoline to branch into the direct caller.

Implement support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS similar to the
arm64 implementation.
This works by patching-in a pointer to an associated ftrace_ops
structure before each traceable function. If multiple ftrace_ops are
associated with a call site, then a special ftrace_list_ops is used to
enable iterating over all the registered ftrace_ops. If no ftrace_ops
are associated with a call site, then a special ftrace_nop_ops structure
is used to render the ftrace call as a no-op. ftrace trampoline can then
read the associated ftrace_ops for a call site by loading from an offset
from the LR, and branch directly to the associated function.
The primary advantage with this approach is that we don't have to
iterate over all the registered ftrace_ops for call sites that have a
single ftrace_ops registered. This is the equivalent of implementing
support for dynamic ftrace trampolines, which set up a special ftrace
trampoline for each registered ftrace_ops and have individual call sites
branch into those directly.
A secondary advantage is that this gives us a way to add support for
direct ftrace callers without having to resort to using stubs. The
address of the direct call trampoline can be loaded from the ftrace_ops
structure.
To support this, we reserve a nop before each function on 32-bit
powerpc. For 64-bit powerpc, two nops are reserved before each
out-of-line stub. During ftrace activation, we update this location with
the associated ftrace_ops pointer. Then, on ftrace entry, we load from
this location and call into ftrace_ops->func().
For 64-bit powerpc, we ensure that the out-of-line stub area is
doubleword aligned so that ftrace_ops address can be updated atomically.

We are restricted to a .text size of ~32MB when using out-of-line
function profile sequence. Allow this to be extended up to the previous
limit of ~64MB by reserving space in the middle of .text.
A new config option CONFIG_PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE_NUM_RESERVE is
introduced to specify the number of function stubs that are reserved in
.text. On boot, ftrace utilizes stubs from this area first before using
the stub area at the end of .text.
A ppc64le defconfig has ~44k functions that can be traced. A more
conservative value of 32k functions is chosen as the default value of
PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE_NUM_RESERVE so that we do not allot more space
than necessary by default. If building a kernel that only has 32k
trace-able functions, we won't allot any more space at the end of .text
during the pass on vmlinux.o. Otherwise, only the remaining functions
get space for stubs at the end of .text. This default value should help
cover a .text size of ~48MB in total (including space reserved at the
end of .text which can cover up to 32MB), which should be sufficient for
most common builds. For a very small kernel build, this can be set to 0.
Or, this can be bumped up to a larger value to support vmlinux .text
size up to ~64MB.

Function profile sequence on powerpc includes two instructions at the
beginning of each function:
mflr r0
bl ftrace_caller
The call to ftrace_caller() gets nop'ed out during kernel boot and is
patched in when ftrace is enabled.
Given the sequence, we cannot return from ftrace_caller with 'blr' as we
need to keep LR and r0 intact. This results in link stack (return
address predictor) imbalance when ftrace is enabled. To address that, we
would like to use a three instruction sequence:
mflr r0
bl ftrace_caller
mtlr r0
Further more, to support DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS, we need to
reserve two instruction slots before the function. This results in a
total of five instruction slots to be reserved for ftrace use on each
function that is traced.
Move the function profile sequence out-of-line to minimize its impact.
To do this, we reserve a single nop at function entry using
-fpatchable-function-entry=1 and add a pass on vmlinux.o to determine
the total number of functions that can be traced. This is then used to
generate a .S file reserving the appropriate amount of space for use as
ftrace stubs, which is built and linked into vmlinux.
On bootup, the stub space is split into separate stubs per function and
populated with the proper instruction sequence. A pointer to the
associated stub is maintained in dyn_arch_ftrace.
For modules, space for ftrace stubs is reserved from the generic module
stub space.
This is restricted to and enabled by default only on 64-bit powerpc,
though there are some changes to accommodate 32-bit powerpc. This is
done so that 32-bit powerpc could choose to opt into this based on
further tests and benchmarks.
As an example, after this patch, kernel functions will have a single nop
at function entry:
<kernel_clone>:
addis r2,r12,467
addi r2,r2,-16028
nop
mfocrf r11,8
...
When ftrace is enabled, the nop is converted to an unconditional branch
to the stub associated with that function:
<kernel_clone>:
addis r2,r12,467
addi r2,r2,-16028
b ftrace_ool_stub_text_end+0x11b28
mfocrf r11,8
...
The associated stub:
<ftrace_ool_stub_text_end+0x11b28>:
mflr r0
bl ftrace_caller
mtlr r0
b kernel_clone+0xc
...
This change showed an improvement of ~10% in null_syscall benchmark on a
Power 10 system with ftrace enabled.

Function tracer on powerpc can only work with vmlinux having a .text
size of up to ~64MB due to powerpc branch instruction having a limited
relative branch range of 32MB. Today, this is only detected on kernel
boot when ftrace is init'ed. Add a post-link script to check the size of
.text so that we can detect this at build time, and break the build if
necessary.
We add a dependency on !COMPILE_TEST for CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER so
that allyesconfig and other test builds can continue to work without
enabling ftrace.

Clang's in-progress per-task stack protector support [1] does not work
with the current Kconfig checks because '-mstack-protector-guard-offset'
is not provided, unlike all other architecture Kconfig checks.
$ fd Kconfig -x rg -l mstack-protector-guard-offset
./arch/arm/Kconfig
./arch/riscv/Kconfig
./arch/arm64/Kconfig
This produces an error from clang, which is interpreted as the flags not
being supported at all when they really are.
$ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu \
-mstack-protector-guard=tls \
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r13 \
-c -o /dev/null -x c /dev/null
clang: error: '-mstack-protector-guard=tls' is used without '-mstack-protector-guard-offset', and there is no default
This argument will always be provided by the build system, so mirror
other architectures and use '-mstack-protector-guard-offset=0' for
testing support, which fixes the issue for clang and does not regress
support with GCC.
Even with the first problem addressed, the 32-bit test continues to fail
because Kbuild uses the powerpc64le-linux-gnu target for clang and
nothing flips the target to 32-bit, resulting in an error about an
invalid register valid:
$ clang --target=powerpc64le-linux-gnu \
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r2 \
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=0 \
-x c -c -o /dev/null /dev/null
clang: error: invalid value 'r2' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r13
While GCC allows arbitrary registers, the implementation of
'-mstack-protector-guard=tls' in LLVM shares the same code path as the
user space thread local storage implementation, which uses a fixed
register (2 for 32-bit and 13 for 62-bit), so the command line parsing
enforces this limitation.
Use the Kconfig macro '$(m32-flag)', which expands to '-m32' when
supported, in the stack protector support cc-option call to properly
switch the target to a 32-bit one, which matches what happens in Kbuild.
While the 64-bit macro does not strictly need it, add the equivalent
64-bit option for symmetry.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
to base their work.
So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.
This contains:
- Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.
- Additions to the vDSO getrandom & chacha selftests. Basically every
time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.
By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.
- Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
carry through to the other architectures.
- Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
Huacai Chen.
- Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
by Will Deacon.
- Port of vDSO getrandom to PowerPC, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
varieties, from Christophe Leroy and acked by Michael Ellerman.
- Port of vDSO getrandom to S390X from Heiko Carstens, the arch
maintainer.
While it'd be natural for there to be things to fix up over the course
of the development cycle, these patches got a decent amount of review
from a fairly diverse crew of folks on the mailing lists, and, for the
most part, they've been cooking in linux-next, which has been helpful
for ironing out build issues.
In terms of architectures, I think that mostly takes care of the
important 64-bit archs with hardware still being produced and running
production loads in settings where vDSO getrandom is likely to help.
Arguably there's still RISC-V left, and we'll see for 6.13 whether
they find it useful and submit a port"

To be consistent with other VDSO functions, the function is called
__kernel_getrandom()
__arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() fonction is implemented basically
with 32 bits operations. It performs 4 QUARTERROUND operations in
parallele. There are enough registers to avoid using the stack:
On input:
r3: output bytes
r4: 32-byte key input
r5: 8-byte counter input/output
r6: number of 64-byte blocks to write to output
During operation:
stack: pointer to counter (r5) and non-volatile registers (r14-131)
r0: counter of blocks (initialised with r6)
r4: Value '4' after key has been read, used for indexing
r5-r12: key
r14-r15: block counter
r16-r31: chacha state
At the end:
