Due to the incompatibility with TCMalloc the RSEQ optimizations and
extended features (time slice extensions) have been disabled and made
run-time conditional.
The original RSEQ implementation, which TCMalloc depends on, registers a 32
byte region (ORIG_RSEG_SIZE). This region has a 32 byte alignment
requirement.
The extension safe newer variant exposes the kernel RSEQ feature size via
getauxval(AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE) and the alignment requirement via
getauxval(AT_RSEQ_ALIGN). The alignment requirement is that the registered
RSEQ region is aligned to the next power of two of the feature size. The
kernel currently has a feature size of 33 bytes, which means the alignment
requirement is 64 bytes.
The TCMalloc RSEQ region is embedded into a cache line aligned data
structure starting at offset 32 bytes so that bytes 28-31 and the
cpu_id_start field at bytes 32-35 form a 64-bit little endian pointer with
the top-most bit (63 set) to check whether the kernel has overwritten
cpu_id_start with an actual CPU id value, which is guaranteed to not have
the top most bit set.
As this is part of their performance tuned magic, it's a pretty safe
assumption, that TCMalloc won't use a larger RSEQ size.
This allows the kernel to declare that registrations with a size greater
than the original size of 32 bytes, which is the cases since time slice
extensions got introduced, as RSEQ ABI v2 with the following differences to
the original behaviour:
1) Unconditional updates of the user read only fields (CPU, node, MMCID)
are removed. Those fields are only updated on registration, task
migration and MMCID changes.
2) Unconditional evaluation of the criticial section pointer is
removed. It's only evaluated when user space was interrupted and was
scheduled out or before delivering a signal in the interrupted
context.
3) The read/only requirement of the ID fields is enforced. When the
kernel detects that userspace manipulated the fields, the process is
terminated. This ensures that multiple entities (libraries) can
utilize RSEQ without interfering.
4) Todays extended RSEQ feature (time slice extensions) and future
extensions are only enabled in the v2 enabled mode.
Registrations with the original size of 32 bytes operate in backwards
compatible legacy mode without performance improvements and extended
features.
Unfortunately that also affects users of older GLIBC versions which
register the original size of 32 bytes and do not evaluate the kernel
required size in the auxiliary vector AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE.
That's the result of the lack of enforcement in the original implementation
and the unwillingness of a single entity to cooperate with the larger
ecosystem for many years.
Implement the required registration changes by restructuring the spaghetti
code and adding the size/version check. Also add documentation about the
differences of legacy and optimized RSEQ V2 mode.
Thanks to Mathieu for pointing out the ORIG_RSEQ_SIZE constraints!

Reinforce the already stated policy that LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE should
always go hand in hand with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE, as their
meanings and enforcement overlap in counterintuitive ways.
On many common file systems, fallocate(2) offers a way to shorten files as
long as the file is opened for writing, side-stepping the
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right.

Add LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC to the backwards compatibility example
for restrict flags. This introduces completeness, similar to that of
the ruleset attributes example. However, as the new example can impact
enforcement in certain cases, an appropriate warning is also included.

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
and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()

- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)
This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-
dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:
- Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
- Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()
Scheduler core updates (Peter Zijlstra):
- Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
- Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
- Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
- <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper
Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):
- Fold the sched_avg update
- Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
- Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
- Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
- Limit hrtick work
- Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
- Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
- Separate se->vlag from se->vprot
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
- Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for
wrapped-signed aritmetics
- Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise
Scheduler debugging code updates:
- Export hidden tracepoints to modules (Gabriele Monaco)
- Convert copy_from_user() + kstrtouint() to kstrtouint_from_user()
(Fushuai Wang)
- Add assertions to QUEUE_CLASS (Peter Zijlstra)
- hrtimer: Fix tracing oddity (Thomas Gleixner)

Add errata section with code examples for querying errata and a warning
that most applications should not check errata. Use kernel-doc directives
to include errata descriptions from the header files instead of manual
links.
Also enhance existing DOC sections in security/landlock/errata/abi-*.h
files with Impact sections, and update the code comment in syscalls.c
to remind developers to update errata documentation when applicable.
This addresses the gap where the kernel implements errata tracking
but provides no user-facing documentation on how to use it, while
improving the existing technical documentation in-place rather than
duplicating it.

Add backwards compatibility handling for the restrict flags introduced
in ABI version 7. This is shown as a separate code block (similar to
the ruleset_attr handling in the switch statement) because restrict flags
are passed to landlock_restrict_self() rather than being part of the
ruleset attributes.
Also fix misleading description of the /usr rule which incorrectly
stated it "only allow[s] reading" when the code actually allows both
reading and executing (LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_EXECUTE is included in
allowed_access).

into the main example, but it has a section in the ABI compatibility notes.
In the HTML rendering, the main reference is the system call documentation,
which is included from the landlock.h header file.

Address Space IDs allows the VDUSE framework to support devices able to
expose different virtqueues to different part of the drivers. For
example, to let QEMU handle the net device control virtqueue, so QEMU
always knows the state of the device like mac address or number of
queues enabled, while leaving the dataplane passthrough to the guest
intact. This enables live migration.
Expands the VDUSE documentation to explain how to use the new ioctls or
the new struct members of old ioctls.

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.

Some hardware (e.g.: Rockchip's rk3588 hevc decoder) need to fully parse
the slice header, which cannot be passed with the current controls.
There is also no skip method similar as to what can be found in
verisilicon HW.
The SPS is therefore extended through these 2 new controls, providing the
long and short term reference information from the slice header for HEVC
decoding.
These now controls are similar as what is passed in the Vulkan Video API
with the StdVideoH265ShortTermRefPicSet and StdVideoH265LongTermRefPicsSps
structures embedded in the SPS struct.

If you force-disable mitigations on the kernel cmdline, for SPEC_STORE_BYPASS
this ends up with the prctl returning -ENXIO, but contrary to the current docs
for the other controls it returns -EPERM. Fix that.
Note that this return value should probably be considered a bug. But, making
the behaviour consistent with the current docs seems more likely to break
existing users than help anyone out in practice, so just "fix" it by
specifying it as correct.
Since this is getting more wordy and confusing, also be more explicit about
"control is not possible" be mentioning the boot configuration, to better
distinguish this case conceptually from the FORCE_DISABLE failure mode.
