A recent rework on delay functions wrongly ended up calling __udelay()
instead of __ndelay() for nanosecond delays, increasing those by 1000.
As a result hangs have been observed on boot
Restore the right function calls.

Commit b1fca27d384e ("kernel debug: support resetting WARN*_ONCE")
added support for clearing the state of once warnings. However,
it is not functional when CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION or
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled, because .data.once matches the
.data.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* pattern in the DATA_MAIN macro.
Commit cb87481ee89d ("kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless
LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured") was introduced to suppress
the issue for the default CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=n case,
providing a minimal fix for stable backporting. We were aware this did
not address the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y. The
plan was to apply correct fixes and then revert cb87481ee89d. [1]
Seven years have passed since then, yet the #ifdef workaround remains in
place. Meanwhile, commit b1fca27d384e introduced the .data.once section,
and commit dc5723b02e52 ("kbuild: add support for Clang LTO") extended
the #ifdef.
Using a ".." separator in the section name fixes the issue for
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.

Add the build support for using Clang's Propeller optimizer. Like
AutoFDO, Propeller uses hardware sampling to gather information
about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a
binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's
optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary.
The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 19 or later, and the
create_llvm_prof tool
(https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1). This
commit is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features
like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS.
Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller
optimized kernel:
1) Build the kernel on the host machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller
build config
CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
then
$ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile>
“<autofdo_profile>” is the profile collected when doing a non-Propeller
AutoFDO build. This step builds a kernel that has the same optimization
level as AutoFDO, plus a metadata section that records basic block
information. This kernel image runs as fast as an AutoFDO optimized
kernel.
2) Install the kernel on test/production machines.
3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number,
like 500009, for this purpose.
For Intel platforms:
$ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \
-o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
For AMD platforms:
The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2
# To see if Zen3 support LBR:
$ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
# To see if Zen4 support LBR:
$ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
# If the result is yes, then collect the profile using:
$ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \
-N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.
5) Generate Propeller profile:
$ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \
--format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name \
--out=<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt \
--propeller_symorder=<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt
“create_llvm_prof” is the profile conversion tool, and a prebuilt
binary for linux can be found on
https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1 (can also build
from source).
"<propeller_profile_prefix>" can be something like
"/home/user/dir/any_string".
This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles:
"<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt" and
"<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt".
6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller profile files.
CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
and
$ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile> \
CLANG_PROPELLER_PROFILE_PREFIX=<propeller_profile_prefix>

Enable the machine function split optimization for AutoFDO in Clang.
Machine function split (MFS) is a pass in the Clang compiler that
splits a function into hot and cold parts. The linker groups all
cold blocks across functions together. This decreases hot code
fragmentation and improves iCache and iTLB utilization.
MFS requires a profile so this is enabled only for the AutoFDO builds.

Enable -ffunction-sections by default for the AutoFDO build.
With -ffunction-sections, the compiler places each function in its own
section named .text.function_name instead of placing all functions in
the .text section. In the AutoFDO build, this allows the linker to
utilize profile information to reorganize functions for improved
utilization of iCache and iTLB.

and __unlikely_text_end which will be included in System.map. These markers
indicate how the compiler groups functions, providing valuable information

When the -ffunction-sections compiler option is enabled, each function
is placed in a separate section named .text.function_name rather than
putting all functions in a single .text section.
However, using -function-sections can cause problems with the
linker script. The comments included in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
note these issues.:
“TEXT_MAIN here will match .text.fixup and .text.unlikely if dead
code elimination is enabled, so these sections should be converted
to use ".." first.”
It is unclear whether there is a straightforward method for converting
a suffix to "..".
This patch modifies the order of subsections within the text output
section. Specifically, it changes current order:
.text.hot, .text, .text_unlikely, .text.unknown, .text.asan
to the new order:
.text.asan, .text.unknown, .text_unlikely, .text.hot, .text
Here is the rationale behind the new layout:
The majority of the code resides in three sections: .text.hot, .text,
and .text.unlikely, with .text.unknown containing a negligible amount.
.text.asan is only generated in ASAN builds.
The primary goal is to group code segments based on their execution
frequency (hotness).
First, we want to place .text.hot adjacent to .text. Since we cannot put
.text.hot after .text (Due to constraints with -ffunction-sections,
placing .text.hot after .text is problematic), we need to put
.text.hot before .text.
Then it comes to .text.unlikely, we cannot put it after .text (same
-ffunction-sections issue) . Therefore, we position .text.unlikely
before .text.hot.
.text.unknown and .tex.asan follow the same logic.
This revised ordering effectively reverses the original arrangement (for
.text.unlikely, .text.unknown, and .tex.asan), maintaining a similar level
of affinity between sections.
It also places .text.hot section at the beginning of a page to better
utilize the TLB entry.
Note that the limitation arises because the linker script employs glob
patterns instead of regular expressions for string matching. While there
is a method to maintain the current order using complex patterns, this
significantly complicates the pattern and increases the likelihood of
errors.
This patch also changes vmlinux.lds.S for the sparc64 architecture to
accommodate specific symbol placement requirements.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:
- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
time rules.
Cure this by:
- Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
always valid container_of() now.
- Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
- Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
- Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
delivery code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
scenarios finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
attributes are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
- Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
- Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
defines.
- Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
- Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
and fix up stale documentation links all over the place
- Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
straight forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
- Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
other clusters.
- Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

Pull vdso data page handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"First steps of consolidating the VDSO data page handling.
The VDSO data page handling is architecture specific for historical
reasons, but there is no real technical reason to do so.
Aside of that VDSO data has become a dump ground for various
mechanisms and fail to provide a clear separation of the
functionalities.
Clean this up by:
- consolidating the VDSO page data by getting rid of architecture
specific warts especially in x86 and PowerPC.
- removing the last includes of header files which are pulling in
other headers outside of the VDSO namespace.
- seperating timekeeping and other VDSO data accordingly.
Further consolidation of the VDSO page handling is done in subsequent
changes scheduled for the next merge window.
This also lays the ground for expanding the VDSO time getters for
independent PTP clocks in a generic way without making every
architecture add support seperately"

In order to produce a generic kernel, a user can select
CONFIG_COMBO_SPINLOCKS which will fallback at runtime to the ticket
spinlock implementation if Zabha or Ziccrse are not present.
Note that we can't use alternatives here because the discovery of
extensions is done too late and we need to start with the qspinlock
implementation because the ticket spinlock implementation would pollute
the spinlock value, so let's use static keys.
This is largely based on Guo's work and Leonardo reviews at [1].

When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the
allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags
corresponding to these allocations are still referenced. As such, the
memory for these tags can't be freed. This is currently handled as an
abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded. To
handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory, allow
codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into their own
separate memory. The in-use memory areas and gaps after module unloading
in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees. Allocation tags
arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually contiguous and that
will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on in this patchset. The
size of this virtually contiguous memory is set to store up to 100000
allocation tags.

prepare_hugepage_range() performs almost the same checks for all
architectures that define it, with the exception of mips and loongarch
that also check for overflows.
The rest checks for the addr and len to be properly aligned, so we can
move that to hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() and get rid of a fair amount of
duplicated code.

s390 redefines functions that are already defined (and the same) in
include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h.
Do as the other architectures:
1) include include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h
2) drop the already defined functions in the generic hugetlb.h and
3) use the __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_* macros to define our own.
This gets rid of quite some code.

Add the four syscalls setxattrat(), getxattrat(), listxattrat() and
removexattrat(). Those can be used to operate on extended attributes,
especially security related ones, either relative to a pinned directory
or on a file descriptor without read access, avoiding a
/proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> detour, requiring a mounted procfs.
One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts
("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file
descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission.
Use the do_{name}at() pattern from fs/open.c.
Pass the value of the extended attribute, its length, and for
setxattrat(2) the command (XATTR_CREATE or XATTR_REPLACE) via an added
struct xattr_args to not exceed six syscall arguments and not
merging the AT_* and XATTR_* flags.
[AV: fixes by Christian Brauner folded in, the entire thing rebased on
top of {filename,file}_...xattr() primitives, treatment of empty
pathnames regularized. As the result, AT_EMPTY_PATH+NULL handling
is cheap, so f...(2) can use it]

The IO memcpy and IO memset functions in asm-generic/io.h simply call
memcpy and memset. This can lead to alignment problems or faults on
architectures that do not define their own version and fall back to
these defaults.
This patch introduces new implementations for IO memcpy and IO memset,
that use read{l,q} accessor functions, align accesses to machine word
size, and resort to byte accesses when the target memory is not aligned.
For new architectures and existing ones that were using the old
fallbacks these functions are save to use, because IO memory constraints
are taken into account. Moreover, architectures with similar
implementations can now use these new versions, not needing to implement
their own.

Recent gcc versions started not systematically inline __arch_xprod64()
and that has performance implications. Give the compiler the freedom to
decide only when optimizing for size.
Here's some timing numbers from lib/math/test_div64.c
Using __always_inline:
```
test_div64: Starting 64bit/32bit division and modulo test
test_div64: Completed 64bit/32bit division and modulo test, 0.048285584s elapsed
```
Without __always_inline:
```
test_div64: Starting 64bit/32bit division and modulo test
test_div64: Completed 64bit/32bit division and modulo test, 0.053023584s elapsed
```
Forcing constant base through the non-constant base code path:
```
test_div64: Starting 64bit/32bit division and modulo test
test_div64: Completed 64bit/32bit division and modulo test, 0.103263776s elapsed
```
It is worth noting that test_div64 does half the test with non constant
divisors already so the impact is greater than what those numbers show.
And for what it is worth, those numbers were obtained using QEMU. The
gcc version is 14.1.0.
