- "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)

The generic test for CC_CAN_LINK assumes that all architectures use -m32
and -m64 to switch between 32-bit and 64-bit compilation. This is overly
simplistic. Architectures may use other flags (-mabi, -m31, etc.) or may
also require byte order handling (-mlittle-endian, -EL). Expressing all
of the different possibilities will be very complicated and brittle.
Instead allow architectures to supply their own logic which will be
easy to understand and evolve.
Both the boolean ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK and the string ARCH_USERFLAGS need
to be implemented as kconfig does not allow the reuse of string options.

In Rust 1.80, the previously unstable `slice::flatten` family of methods
have been stabilized and renamed to `slice::as_flattened`.
This creates an issue as we want to use `as_flattened`, but need to
support the MSRV (which at the moment is Rust 1.78) where it is named
`flatten`.
Solve this by enabling the `slice_flatten` feature, and providing an
`as_flattened` implementation through an extension trait for compiler
versions where it is not available.
The trait is then exported from the prelude, making the `as_flattened`
family of methods transparently available for all supported compiler
versions.
This extension trait can be removed once the MSRV passes 1.80.

The kernel cmdline length is allowed to be longer than what printk can
handle. When this happens the cmdline that's printed to the kernel ring
buffer at bootup is cutoff and some kernel cmdline options are "hidden"
from the logs. This undercuts the usefulness of the log message.
Specifically, grepping for COMMAND_LINE_SIZE shows that 2048 is common and
some architectures even define it as 4096. s390 allows a CONFIG-based
maximum up to 1MB (though it's not expected that anyone will go over the
default max of 4096 [1]).
The maximum message pr_notice() seems to be able to handle (based on
experiment) is 1021 characters. This appears to be based on the current
value of PRINTKRB_RECORD_MAX as 1024 and the fact that pr_notice() spends
2 characters on the loglevel prefix and we have a '\n' at the end.
While it would be possible to increase the limits of printk() (and
therefore pr_notice()) somewhat, it doesn't appear possible to increase it
enough to fully include a 2048-character cmdline without breaking
userspace. Specifically on at least two tested userspaces (ChromeOS plus
the Debian-based distro I'm typing this message on) the `dmesg` tool reads
lines from `/dev/kmsg` in 2047-byte chunks. As per
`Documentation/ABI/testing/dev-kmsg`:
Every read() from the opened device node receives one record
of the kernel's printk buffer.
...
Messages in the record ring buffer get overwritten as whole,
there are never partial messages received by read().
We simply can't fit a 2048-byte cmdline plus the "Kernel command line:"
prefix plus info about time/log_level/etc in a 2047-byte read.
The above means that if we want to avoid the truncation we need to do some
type of wrapping of the cmdline when printing.
Add wrapping to the printout of the kernel command line. By default, the
wrapping is set to 1021 characters to avoid breaking anyone, but allow
wrapping to be set lower by a Kconfig knob
"CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN". Any tools that are correctly parsing
the cmdline today (because it is less than 1021 characters) will see no
difference in their behavior. The format of wrapped output is designed to
be matched by anyone using "grep" to search for the cmdline and also to be
easy for tools to handle. Anyone who is sure their tools (if any) handle
the wrapped format can choose a lower wrapping value and have prettier
output.
Setting CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN to 0 fully disables the wrapping
logic. This means that long command lines will be truncated again, but
this config could be set if command lines are expected to be long and
userspace is known not to handle parsing logs with the wrapping.
Wrapping is based on spaces, ignoring quotes. All lines are prefixed with
"Kernel command line: " and lines that are not the last line have a " \"
suffix added to them. The prefix and suffix count towards the line length
for wrapping purposes. The ideal length will be exceeded if no
appropriate place to wrap is found.
The wrapping function added here is fairly generic and could be made a
library function (somewhat like print_hex_dump()) if it's needed elsewhere
in the kernel. However, having printk() directly incorporate this
wrapping would be unlikely to be a good idea since it would break
printouts into more than one record without any obvious common line prefix
to tie lines together. It would also be extra overhead when, in general,
kernel log message should simply be kept smaller than 1021 bytes. For
some discussion on this topic, see responses to the v1 posting of this
patch [2].

Now that all bits and pieces are in place, hook the RSEQ handling fast path
function into exit_to_user_mode_prepare() after the TIF work bits have been
handled. If case of fast path failure, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME has been raised
and the caller needs to take another turn through the TIF handling slow
path.
This only works for architectures which use the generic entry code.
Architectures who still have their own incomplete hacks are not supported
and won't be.
This results in the following improvements:

The 'cs cleared' and 'cs fixup' percentages are not relative to the exit to
user invocations, they are relative to the actual 'cs check' invocations.
While some of this could have been avoided in the original code, like the
obvious clearing of CS when it's already clear, the main problem of going
through TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME cannot be solved. In some workloads the RSEQ
notify handler is invoked more than once before going out to user
space. Doing this once when everything has stabilized is the only solution
to avoid this.
The initial attempt to completely decouple it from the TIF work turned out
to be suboptimal for workloads, which do a lot of quick and short system
calls. Even if the fast path decision is only 4 instructions (including a
conditional branch), this adds up quickly and becomes measurable when the
rate for actually having to handle rseq is in the low single digit
percentage range of user/kernel transitions.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
Cleanups:
- Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK
- Make file_remove_privs_flags() static
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used
- Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()
- Use try_cmpxchg() in sb_init_done_wq()
- Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()
- Remove vfs_ioctl() export

- Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV

There's a silly problem with the CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT test: even with
a working compiler it will fail on some architectures simply because it
uses the mnemonic "jmp" for testing the inline asm.
And as reported by Geert, not all architectures use that mnemonic, so
the test fails spuriously on such platforms (including arm and riscv,
but also several other architectures).
This issue avoided any obvious test failures because the build still
works thanks to falling back on the old non-asm-goto code, which just
generates worse code.
Just use an empty asm statement instead.

The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).
Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

clang < 17 fails to use scope local labels with CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT=y:
{
__label__ local_lbl;
...
unsafe_get_user(uval, uaddr, local_lbl);
...
return 0;
local_lbl:
return -EFAULT;
}
when two such scopes exist in the same function:
error: cannot jump from this asm goto statement to one of its possible targets
There are other failure scenarios. Shuffling code around slightly makes it
worse and fail even with one instance.
That issue prevents using local labels for a cleanup based user access
mechanism.
After failed attempts to provide a simple enough test case for the 'depends
on' test in Kconfig, the initial cure was to mark ASM goto broken on clang
versions < 17 to get this road block out of the way.
But Nathan pointed out that this is a known clang issue and indeed affects
clang < version 17 in combination with cleanup(). It's not even required to
use local labels for that.
The clang issue tracker has a small enough test case, which can be used as
a test in the 'depends on' section of CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT:
void bar(void **);
void* baz(void);
int foo (void) {
{
asm goto("jmp %l0"::::l0);
return 0;
l0:
return 1;
}
void *x __attribute__((cleanup(bar))) = baz();
{
asm goto("jmp %l0"::::l1);
return 42;
l1:
return 0xff;
}
}
Add another dependency to config CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT for it and use the
clang issue tracker test case for detection by condensing it to obfuscated
C-code contest format. This reliably catches the problem on clang < 17 and
did not show any issues on the non broken GCC versions.
That test might be sufficient to catch all issues and therefore could
replace the existing test, but keeping that around does no harm either.
Thanks to Nathan for pointing to the relevant clang issue!

Make the statement attribute "assume" with a new __assume macro available.
The assume attribute is used to indicate that a certain condition is
assumed to be true. Compilers may or may not use this indication to
generate optimized code. If this condition is violated at runtime, the
behavior is undefined.
Note that the clang documentation states that optimizers may react
differently to this attribute, and this may even have a negative
performance impact. Therefore this attribute should be used with care.

After an innocuous change in -next that modified a structure that

clang: clang/lib/AST/RecordLayoutBuilder.cpp:3335: const ASTRecordLayout &clang::ASTContext::getASTRecordLayout(const RecordDecl *) const: Assertion `D && "Cannot get layout of forward declarations!"' failed.
According to a reverse bisect, a tangential change to the LLVM IR

resolves this problem. Bump the version of clang that enables
CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY to 20.1.0 to ensure that this issue cannot be
