Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
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 * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (139 commits) calibrate: update header inclusion Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()" vmcoreinfo: track and log recoverable hardware errors kho: fix restoring of contiguous ranges of order-0 pages kho: kho_restore_vmalloc: fix initialization of pages array MAINTAINERS: TPM DEVICE DRIVER: update the W-tag init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages Documentation/ABI: new kexec and kdump sysfs interface Documentation/ABI: mark old kexec sysfs deprecated kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec test_kho: always print restore status kho: free chunks using free_page() instead of kfree() selftests/liveupdate: add kexec test for multiple and empty sessions selftests/liveupdate: add simple kexec-based selftest for LUO selftests/liveupdate: add userspace API selftests docs: add documentation for memfd preservation via LUO mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state mm: shmem: export some functions to internal.h ...

+Recoverable Hardware Error Tracking in vmcoreinfo
+=================================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This feature provides a generic infrastructure within the Linux kernel to track
+and log recoverable hardware errors. These are hardware recoverable errors
+visible that might not cause immediate panics but may influence health, mainly
+because new code path will be executed in the kernel.
+
+By recording counts and timestamps of recoverable errors into the vmcoreinfo
+crash dump notes, this infrastructure aids post-mortem crash analysis tools in
+correlating hardware events with kernel failures. This enables faster triage
+and better understanding of root causes, especially in large-scale cloud
+environments where hardware issues are common.
+
+Benefits
+--------
+
+- Facilitates correlation of hardware recoverable errors with kernel panics or
+ unusual code paths that lead to system crashes.
+- Provides operators and cloud providers quick insights, improving reliability
+ and reducing troubleshooting time.
+- Complements existing full hardware diagnostics without replacing them.
+
+Data Exposure and Consumption
+-----------------------------
+
+- The tracked error data consists of per-error-type counts and timestamps of
+ last occurrence.
+- This data is stored in the `hwerror_data` array, categorized by error source
+ types like CPU, memory, PCI, CXL, and others.
+- It is exposed via vmcoreinfo crash dump notes and can be read using tools
+ like `crash`, `drgn`, or other kernel crash analysis utilities.
+- There is no other way to read these data other than from crash dumps.
+- These errors are divided by area, which includes CPU, Memory, PCI, CXL and
+ others.
+
+Typical usage example (in drgn REPL):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> prog['hwerror_data']
+ (struct hwerror_info[HWERR_RECOV_MAX]){
+ {
+ .count = (int)844,
+ .timestamp = (time64_t)1752852018,
+ },
+ ...
+ }
+
+Enabling
+--------
+
+- This feature is enabled when CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is set.
