Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko)
fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c
- "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight)
enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up
the test module for these library functions
- "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB" (Ilya Leoshkevich)
makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB
debugger
- "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on demand" (Feng Tang)
adds a sysctl which can be used to cause additional info dumping when
the hung-task and lockup detectors fire
- "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users" (Kuan-Wei Chiu)
adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/ and migrates several
users away from their private implementations
- "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" (Eric Dumazet)
makes TCP a little faster
- "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin)
reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update
Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients
- "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO
- "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.
- "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
/sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
hopefully be removed one day
- "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
regions

This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and
ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all
relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in
lib.mk
Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on
riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP is only retrievable until the task has exited. After
it has exited task->mm is NULL. So if the task didn't actually coredump
we can't retrieve it's dumpability settings anymore. Only if the task
did coredump will we have stashed the coredump information in the
respective struct pid.

Resolve a conflict between
commit 6a68d28066b6 ("selftests/coredump: Fix "socket_detect_userspace_client" test failure")
and
commit 994dc26302ed ("selftests/coredump: fix build")
The first commit adds a read() to wait for write() from another thread to
finish. But the second commit removes the write().
Now that the two commits are in the same tree, the read() now gets EOF and
the test fails.
Remove this read() so that the test passes.

Pull coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains an extension to the coredump socket and a proper rework
of the coredump code.
- This extends the coredump socket to allow the coredump server to
tell the kernel how to process individual coredumps. This allows
for fine-grained coredump management. Userspace can decide to just
let the kernel write out the coredump, or generate the coredump
itself, or just reject it.
* COREDUMP_KERNEL
The kernel will write the coredump data to the socket.
* COREDUMP_USERSPACE
The kernel will not write coredump data but will indicate to the
parent that a coredump has been generated. This is used when
userspace generates its own coredumps.
* COREDUMP_REJECT
The kernel will skip generating a coredump for this task.
* COREDUMP_WAIT
The kernel will prevent the task from exiting until the coredump
server has shutdown the socket connection.
The flexible coredump socket can be enabled by using the "@@"
prefix instead of the single "@" prefix for the regular coredump
socket:
@@/run/systemd/coredump.socket
- Cleanup the coredump code properly while we have to touch it
anyway.
Split out each coredump mode in a separate helper so it's easy to
grasp what is going on and make the code easier to follow. The core
coredump function should now be very trivial to follow"

The coredump.socket_detect_userspace_client test occasionally fails:
# RUN coredump.socket_detect_userspace_client ...
# stackdump_test.c:500:socket_detect_userspace_client:Expected 0 (0) != WIFEXITED(status) (0)
# socket_detect_userspace_client: Test terminated by assertion
# FAIL coredump.socket_detect_userspace_client
not ok 3 coredump.socket_detect_userspace_client
because there is no guarantee that client's write() happens before server's
close(). The client gets terminated SIGPIPE, and thus the test fails.
Add a read() to server to make sure server's close() doesn't happen before
client's write().

The test's runtime (nearly 20s) is dangerously close to the limit (30s) on
qemu-system-riscv64:
$ time ./stackdump_test > /dev/null
real 0m19.210s
user 0m0.077s
sys 0m0.359s
There could be machines slower than qemu-system-riscv64. Therefore raise
the test timeout to 2 minutes to be safe.

The test waits for coredump to finish by busy-waiting for the stack_values
file to be created. The maximum wait time is 10 seconds.
This doesn't work for slow machine (qemu-system-riscv64), because coredump
takes longer.
Fix it by waiting for the crashing child process to finish first.

The buffer pointer "line" is not initialized. This pointer is passed to
getline().
It can still work if the stack is zero-initialized, because getline() can
work with a NULL pointer as buffer.
But this is obviously broken. This bug shows up while running the test on a
riscv64 machine.
Fix it by properly initializing the pointer.
