kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS
Recent changes replaced the use of no_64bit_msi with msi_addr_mask, which
is now expected to be initialized to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) during PCI device
setup. On SPARC systems, this initialization was inadvertently missed for
devices instantiated from device tree nodes, leaving msi_addr_mask unset
for OF-created pci_dev instances. As a result, MSI address validation fails
during probe, causing affected devices to fail initialization.
Initialize pdev->msi_addr_mask to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) in of_create_pci_dev()
so that MSI address validation succeeds and PCI device probing works as
expected.

Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].
Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.
Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner

Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the

sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally
schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to
schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a
strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls
including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

SPARC T5-2 dts describes some PCI BARs as 64-bit resources without the
pref(etchable) bit (0x83... vs 0xc3... in assigned-addresses) for address
ranges above the 4G threshold. Such resources cannot be placed into a
non-prefetchable PCI bridge window that is capable only of 32-bit
addressing. As such, it looks like the platform is improperly described by
the dts.
The kernel detects this problem (see the IORESOURCE_PREFETCH check in
pci_find_parent_resource()) and fails to assign these BAR resources to the
resource tree due to lack of a compatible bridge window.
Prior to 754babaaf3 ("sparc/PCI: Remove pcibios_enable_device() as they
do nothing extra") SPARC arch code did not test whether device resources
were successfully in the resource tree when enabling a device, effectively
hiding the problem. After removing the arch-specific enable code,
pci_enable_resources() refuses to enable the device when it finds not all
mem resources are assigned, and therefore mpt3sas can't be enabled:
pci 0001:04:00.0: reg 0x14: [mem 0x801110000000-0x80111000ffff 64bit]
pci 0001:04:00.0: reg 0x1c: [mem 0x801110040000-0x80111007ffff 64bit]
pci 0001:04:00.0: BAR 1 [mem 0x801110000000-0x80111000ffff 64bit]: can't claim; no compatible bridge window
pci 0001:04:00.0: BAR 3 [mem 0x801110040000-0x80111007ffff 64bit]: can't claim; no compatible bridge window
mpt3sas 0001:04:00.0: BAR 1 [mem size 0x00010000 64bit]: not assigned; can't enable device
For clarity, this filtered log only shows failures for one mpt3sas device
but other devices fail similarly. In the reported case, the end result with
all the failures is an unbootable system.
Things appeared to "work" before 754babaaf3 ("sparc/PCI: Remove
pcibios_enable_device() as they do nothing extra") because the resource
tree is agnostic to whether PCI BAR resources are properly in the tree or
not. So as long as there was a parent resource (e.g. a root bus resource)
that contains the address range, the resource tree code just places
resource request underneath it without any consideration to the
intermediate BAR resource. While it worked, it's incorrect setup still.
Add an OF fixup to set the IORESOURCE_PREFETCH flag for a 64-bit PCI
resource that has the end address above 4G requiring placement into the
prefetchable window. Also log the issue.
Fixes: 754babaaf3 ("sparc/PCI: Remove pcibios_enable_device() as they do nothing extra")

mm_get_unmapped_area() is a wrapper around arch_get_unmapped_area() /
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), both of which search current->mm for
some free space. Neither take an mm_struct - they implicitly operate on
current->mm.
But the wrapper takes an mm_struct and uses it to decide whether to search
bottom up or top down. All callers pass in current->mm for this, so
everything is working consistently. But it feels like an accident waiting
to happen; eventually someone will call that function with a different mm,
expecting to find free space in it, but what gets returned is free space
in the current mm.
So let's simplify by removing the parameter and have the wrapper use
current->mm to decide which end to start at. Now everything is consistent
and self-documenting.

them (Hans Zhang)
- Leave parent unit address 0 in 'interrupt-map' so that when we
build devicetree nodes to describe PCI functions that contain
multiple peripherals, we can build this property even when
interrupt controllers lack 'reg' properties (Lorenzo Pieralisi)
- Add a Xeon 6 quirk to disable Extended Tags and limit Max Read
Request Size to 128B to avoid a performance issue (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Add sysfs 'serial_number' file to expose the Device Serial Number
(Matthew Wood)
- Fix pci_acpi_preserve_config() memory leak (Nirmoy Das)
Resource management:
- Align m68k pcibios_enable_device() with other arches (Ilpo
Järvinen)
- Remove sparc pcibios_enable_device() implementations that don't do
anything beyond what pci_enable_resources() does (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Remove mips pcibios_enable_resources() and use
pci_enable_resources() instead (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Clean up bridge window sizing and assignment (Ilpo Järvinen),
including:
- Leave non-claimed bridge windows disabled
- Enable bridges even if a window wasn't assigned because not all
windows are required by downstream devices
- Preserve bridge window type when releasing the resource, since
the type is needed for reassignment
- Consolidate selection of bridge windows into two new
interfaces, pbus_select_window() and
pbus_select_window_for_type(), so this is done consistently
- Compute bridge window start and end earlier to avoid logging
stale information
MSI:
- Add quirk to disable MSI on RDC PCI to PCIe bridges (Marcos Del Sol
Vives)
Error handling:
- Align AER with EEH by allowing drivers to request a Bus Reset on
Non-Fatal Errors (in addition to the reset on Fatal Errors that we
already do) (Lukas Wunner)
- If error recovery fails, emit FAILED_RECOVERY uevents for the
devices, not for the bridge leading to them.
This makes them correspond to BEGIN_RECOVERY uevents (Lukas Wunner)
- Align AER with EEH by calling err_handler.error_detected()
callbacks to notify drivers if error recovery fails (Lukas Wunner)
- Align AER with EEH by restoring device error_state to
pci_channel_io_normal before the err_handler.slot_reset() callback.
This is earlier than before the err_handler.resume() callback
(Lukas Wunner)
- Emit a BEGIN_RECOVERY uevent when driver's
err_handler.error_detected() requests a reset, as well as when it
says recovery is complete or can be done without a reset (Niklas
Schnelle)
- Align s390 with AER and EEH by emitting uevents during error
recovery (Niklas Schnelle)
- Align EEH with AER and s390 by emitting BEGIN_RECOVERY,
SUCCESSFUL_RECOVERY, or FAILED_RECOVERY uevents depending on the
result of err_handler.error_detected() (Niklas Schnelle)
- Fix a NULL pointer dereference in aer_ratelimit() when ACPI GHES
error information identifies a device without an AER Capability
(Breno Leitao)
- Update error decoding and TLP Log printing for new errors in
current PCIe base spec (Lukas Wunner)
- Update error recovery documentation to match the current code
and use consistent nomenclature (Lukas Wunner)
ASPM:
- Enable all ClockPM and ASPM states for devicetree platforms, since
there's typically no firmware that enables ASPM
This is a risky change that may uncover hardware or configuration
defects at boot-time rather than when users enable ASPM via sysfs
later. Booting with "pcie_aspm=off" prevents this enabling
(Manivannan Sadhasivam)
- Remove the qcom code that enabled ASPM (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
Power management:
- If a device has already been disconnected, e.g., by a hotplug
removal, don't bother trying to resume it to D0 when detaching the
driver.
This avoids annoying "Unable to change power state from D3cold to
D0" messages (Mario Limonciello)
- Ensure devices are powered up before config reads for
'max_link_width', 'current_link_speed', 'current_link_width',
'secondary_bus_number', and 'subordinate_bus_number' sysfs files.
This prevents using invalid data (~0) in drivers or lspci and,
depending on how the PCIe controller reports errors, may avoid
error interrupts or crashes (Brian Norris)
Virtualization:
- Add rescan/remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV, which
avoids list corruption on s390, where disabling SR-IOV also
generates hotplug events (Niklas Schnelle)
Peer-to-peer DMA:
- Free struct p2p_pgmap, not a member within it, in the
pci_p2pdma_add_resource() error path (Sungho Kim)
Endpoint framework:
- Document sysfs interface for BAR assignment of vNTB endpoint
functions (Jerome Brunet)
- Fix array underflow in endpoint BAR test case (Dan Carpenter)
- Skip endpoint IRQ test if the IRQ is out of range to avoid false
errors (Christian Bruel)
- Fix endpoint test case for controllers with fixed-size BARs smaller
than requested by the test (Marek Vasut)
- Restore inbound translation when disabling doorbell so the endpoint
doorbell test case can be run more than once (Niklas Cassel)
- Avoid a NULL pointer dereference when releasing DMA channels in
endpoint DMA test case (Shin'ichiro Kawasaki)
- Convert tegra194 interrupt number to MSI vector to fix endpoint
Kselftest MSI_TEST test case (Niklas Cassel)
- Reset tegra194 BARs when running in endpoint mode so the BAR tests
don't overwrite the ATU settings in BAR4 (Niklas Cassel)
- Handle errors in tegra194 BPMP transactions so we don't mistakenly
skip future PERST# assertion (Vidya Sagar)
AMD MDB PCIe controller driver:
- Update DT binding example to separate PERST# to a Root Port stanza
to make multiple Root Ports possible in the future (Sai Krishna
Musham)
- Add driver support for PERST# being described in a Root Port
stanza, falling back to the host bridge if not found there (Sai
Krishna Musham)
Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Enable the 3.3V Vaux supply if available so devices can request
wakeup with either Beacon or WAKE# (Richard Zhu)
MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:
- Add optional sys clock ready time setting to avoid sys_clk_rdy
signal glitching in MT6991 and MT8196 (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)
- Add DT binding and driver support for MT6991 and MT8196
(AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)
NVIDIA Tegra PCIe controller driver:
- When asserting PERST#, disable the controller instead of mistakenly
disabling the PLL twice (Nagarjuna Kristam)
- Convert struct tegra_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
nesting error (Marek Vasut)
Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:
- Select PCI Power Control Slot driver so slot voltage rails can be
turned on/off if described in Root Port devicetree node (Qiang Yu)
- Parse only PCI bridge child nodes in devicetree, skipping unrelated
nodes such as OPP (Operating Performance Points), which caused
probe failures (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)
- Add 8.0 GT/s and 32.0 GT/s equalization settings (Ziyue Zhang)
- Consolidate Root Port 'phy' and 'reset' properties in struct
qcom_pcie_port, regardless of whether we got them from the Root
Port node or the host bridge node (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
- Fetch and map the ELBI register space in the DWC core rather than
in each driver individually (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)
- Enable ECAM mechanism in DWC core by setting up iATU with 'CFG
Shift Feature' and use this in the qcom driver (Krishna Chaitanya
Chundru)
- Add SM8750 compatible to qcom,pcie-sm8550.yaml (Krishna Chaitanya
Chundru)
- Update qcom,pcie-x1e80100.yaml to allow fifth PCIe host on Qualcomm
Glymur, which is compatible with X1E80100 but doesn't have the
cnoc_sf_axi clock (Qiang Yu)
Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver:
- Fix a typo that prevented correct PHY initialization (Marek Vasut)
- Add a missing 1ms delay after PWR reset assertion as required by
the V4H manual (Marek Vasut)
- Assure reset has completed before DBI access to avoid SError (Marek
Vasut)
- Fix inverted PHY initialization check, which sometimes led to
timeouts and failure to start the controller (Marek Vasut)
- Pass the correct IRQ domain to generic_handle_domain_irq() to fix a
regression when converting to msi_create_parent_irq_domain()
(Claudiu Beznea)
- Drop the spinlock protecting the PMSR register - it's no longer
required since pci_lock already serializes accesses (Marek Vasut)
- Convert struct rcar_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
nesting error (Marek Vasut)
SOPHGO PCIe controller driver:
- Check for existence of struct cdns_pcie.ops before using it to
allow Cadence drivers that don't need to supply ops (Chen Wang)
- Add DT binding and driver for the SOPHGO SG2042 PCIe controller
(Chen Wang)
STMicroelectronics STM32MP25 PCIe controller driver:
- Update pinctrl documentation of initial states and use in runtime
suspend/resume (Christian Bruel)
- Add pinctrl_pm_select_init_state() for use by stm32 driver, which
needs it during resume (Christian Bruel)
- Add devicetree bindings and drivers for the STMicroelectronics
STM32MP25 in host and endpoint modes (Christian Bruel)
Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:
- Add support for x16 in devicetree 'num-lanes' property (Konrad
Dybcio)
- Verify that if DT specifies a single IRQ for all eDMA channels, it
is named 'dma' (Niklas Cassel)
TI J721E PCIe driver:
- Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() so driver can be autoloaded (Siddharth
Vadapalli)
- Power controller off before configuring the glue layer so the
controller latches the correct values on power-on (Siddharth

Pull Char/Misc/IIO/Binder updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other driver subsystem
changes for 6.18-rc1.
Loads of different stuff in here, it was a busy development cycle in
lots of different subsystems, with over 27k new lines added to the
tree.
Included in here are:
- IIO updates including new drivers, reworking of existing apis, and
other goodness in the sensor subsystems
- MEI driver updates and additions
- NVMEM driver updates
- slimbus removal for an unused driver and some other minor updates
- coresight driver updates and additions
- MHI driver updates
- comedi driver updates and fixes
- extcon driver updates
- interconnect driver additions
- eeprom driver updates and fixes
- minor UIO driver updates
- tiny W1 driver updates
But the majority of new code is in the rust bindings and additions,
which includes:
- misc driver rust binding updates for read/write support, we can now
write "normal" misc drivers in rust fully, and the sample driver
shows how this can be done.
- Initial framework for USB driver rust bindings, which are disabled
for now in the build, due to limited support, but coming in through
this tree due to dependencies on other rust binding changes that
were in here. I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the
usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to
work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle.
- Android Binder driver implemented in Rust.
This is the big one, and was driving a huge majority of the rust
binding work over the past years. Right now there are two binder
drivers in the kernel, selected only at build time as to which one
to use as binder wants to be included in the system at boot time.
The binder C maintainers all agreed on this, as eventually, they
want the C code to be removed from the tree, but it will take a few
releases to get there while both are maintained to ensure that the
rust implementation is fully stable and compliant with the existing
userspace apis.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

In the very early kernel 1.x days, assembler files were pre-processed
with the "-traditional" flag. With kernel 1.1.85, the sparc subsystem
was changed to use "-ansi" instead while the other parts of the kernel
continued to use "-traditional". That "-traditional" got removed from
the other architectures in the course of time, but the sparc part
kept the "-ansi" until today.
This is bad since it comes with some disadvantages nowadays: You have
to make sure to not include any header that contains a "//" C++ comment
by accident (there are now some in the tree that use these for SPDX
identifiers for example), and with "-ansi" we also do not get the
pre-defined __ASSEMBLER__ macro which we'd like to use instead of the
kernel-only __ASSEMBLY__ macro in the future.
Since there does not seem to be any compelling reason anymore to use
"-ansi" nowadays, let's simply drop the "-ansi" flag from the sparc
subsystem now to get rid of those disadvantages.

compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.
For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.
In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".
And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

Once of_device_register() failed, we should call put_device() to
decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak.
So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in
kobject_cleanup().
Calling path: of_device_register() -> of_device_add() -> device_add().
As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should
call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has
not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'.

Commit 16f5dfbc85 ("gfp: include __GFP_NOWARN in GFP_NOWAIT") made
GFP_NOWAIT implicitly include __GFP_NOWARN.
Therefore, explicit __GFP_NOWARN combined with GFP_NOWAIT (e.g.,
`GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN`) is now redundant. Let's clean up these
redundant flags across subsystems.
No functional changes.

Under arch/sparc/ there are multiple copies of pcibios_enable_device() but
none of those seem to do anything extra beyond what pci_enable_resources()
is supposed to do. These functions could lead to inconsistencies in
behavior, especially now as pci_enable_resources() and the bridge window
resource flags behavior are going to be altered by upcoming changes.
Remove all pcibios_enable_device() from arch/sparc/ so that PCI core can
simply call into pci_enable_resources() instead using its __weak version
of pcibios_enable_device().

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode
extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and
pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat()
semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended
attributes.
This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference
that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path
instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended
attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This
is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files
we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd.
This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set
extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory
and a path - *at() like syscall.
