system".
It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations
- "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
the memdesc project. Please see

creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code
- "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate

While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by
BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static
initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state
of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that
ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with
__attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might
change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(),
which provides deterministic math results).
For arc architecture with CONFIG_ISA_ARCV2=y, the __fls() function
uses __builtin_arc_fls() which lacks GCC's const attribute, preventing
compile-time constant folding, and KUnit testing of ffs/fls fails on
arc[3]. A patch[2] to GCC to solve this has been sent.
Add a fix for this by handling compile-time constants with the standard
__builtin_clzl() builtin (which has const attribute) while preserving
the optimized arc-specific builtin for runtime cases. This has the added
benefit of skipping runtime calculation of compile-time constant values.
Even with the GCC bug fixed (which is about "attribute const") this is a
good change to avoid needless runtime costs, and should be done
regardless of the state of GCC's bug.
Build tested ARCH=arc allyesconfig with GCC arc-linux 15.2.0.

Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int. This will better
reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code.
This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not
returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper
32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

__ASSEMBLY__ is only defined by the Makefile of the kernel, so
this is not really useful for uapi headers (unless the userspace
Makefile defines it, too). Let's switch to __ASSEMBLER__ which
gets set automatically by the compiler when compiling assembly
code.

The core atomic code has a number of macros where it elaborates
architecture primitives into more functions. ARC uses
arch_atomic64_cmpxchg() as it's architecture primitive which disable alot
of the additional functions.
Instead provide arch_cmpxchg64_relaxed() as the primitive and rely on the
core macros to create arch_cmpxchg64().
The macros will also provide other functions, for instance,
try_cmpxchg64_release(), giving a more complete implementation.

We already have a generic implementation of alloc/free up to P4D level, as
well as pgd_free(). Let's finish the work and add a generic PGD-level
alloc helper as well.
Unlike at lower levels, almost all architectures need some specific magic
at PGD level (typically initialising PGD entries), so introducing a
generic pgd_alloc() isn't worth it. Instead we introduce two new helpers,
__pgd_alloc() and __pgd_free(), and make use of them in the arch-specific
pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() wherever possible. To accommodate as many arch
as possible, __pgd_alloc() takes a page allocation order.
Because pagetable_alloc() allocates zeroed pages, explicit zeroing in
pgd_alloc() becomes redundant and we can get rid of it. Some trivial
implementations of pgd_free() also become unnecessary once __pgd_alloc()
is used; remove them.
Another small improvement is consistent accounting of PGD pages by using
GFP_PGTABLE_{USER,KERNEL} as appropriate.
Not all PGD allocations can be handled by the generic helpers. In

In commit eacd0e950dc2 ("ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing
VIPT)"), arc adds the need to flush dcache to make icache see the code
page change. This also requires special handling for
clear_user_(high)page(). Introduce cpu_icache_is_aliasing() to make MM
code query special clear_user_(high)page() easier. This will be used by
the following commit.

Currently, the cast of the first argument to cmpxchg_emu_u8() drops the
__percpu address-space designator, which results in sparse complaints
when applying cmpxchg() to per-CPU variables in ARC. Therefore, use
__force to suppress these complaints, given that this does not pertain
to cmpxchg() semantics, which are plently well-defined on variables in
general, whether per-CPU or otherwise.

page_to_phys is duplicated by all architectures, and from some strange
reason placed in <asm/io.h> where it doesn't fit at all.
phys_to_page is only provided by a few architectures despite having a lot
of open coded users.
Provide generic versions in <asm-generic/memory_model.h> to make these
helpers more easily usable.
Note with this patch powerpc loses the CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL pfn_valid
check. It will be added back in a generic version later.

Declarations local to arch/*/kernel/*.c are better off *not* in a public
header - arch/arc/kernel/unaligned.h is just fine for those
bits.
Unlike the parisc case, here we have an extra twist - asm/mmu.h
has an implicit dependency on struct pt_regs, and in some users
that used to be satisfied by include of asm/ptrace.h from
asm/unaligned.h (note that asm/mmu.h itself did _not_ pull asm/unaligned.h
- it relied upon the users having pulled asm/unaligned.h before asm/mmu.h
got there).
Seeing that asm/mmu.h only wants struct pt_regs * arguments in
an extern, just pre-declare it there - less brittle that way.
With that done _all_ asm/unaligned.h instances are reduced to include
of asm-generic/unaligned.h and can be removed - unaligned.h is in
mandatory-y in include/asm-generic/Kbuild.
What's more, we can move asm-generic/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h
and switch includes of <asm/unaligned.h> to <linux/unaligned.h>; that's
better off as an auto-generated commit, though, to be done by Linus
at -rc1 time next cycle.

The uapi/asm/unistd_32.h and asm/syscall_table_32.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.
arc has a couple of architecture specific system calls, which I add to the
generic table. This for some reason includes the deprecated sys_sysfs()
syscall that was presumably added by accident.
The time32, renameat, stat64 and rlimit entries in the syscall_abis_32
entry are for system calls that were part of the generic ABI when arch/arc
got added but are no longer enabled by default for new architectures.
Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.

When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture
deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in
a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture
maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those
that already implement it.
Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing
clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally
different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant
to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older
syscalls that are no longer provided by default.
Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an
__ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't
already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
from all the other ones.
