Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" (Oleg Nesterov)
Make creation of init in a new namespace more robust by clearing away
some historical cruft which is no longer needed. Also some
documentation fixups
- "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general" (Mark Brown)
Fix and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall selftest

- "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed left-shifts" (Josh Law)
A couple of small/theoretical fixes in the bch code
- "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()" (Junrui Luo)
- "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)
A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
quote Christoph:
"The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
overhead"
- "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds"

The structure initialization in the two type mismatch handling functions
causes a call to __msan_memset() to be generated inside of a UACCESS
block, which in turn leads to an objtool warning about possibly leaking
uaccess-enabled state:
lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch+0xda: call to __msan_memset() with UACCESS enabled
lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1+0xf4: call to __msan_memset() with UACCESS enabled
Most likely __msan_memset() is safe to be called here and could be added
to the uaccess_safe_builtin[] list of safe functions, but seeing that the
ubsan file itself already has kasan, ubsan and kcsan disabled itself, it
is probably a good idea to also turn off kmsan here, in particular this
also avoids the risk of recursing between ubsan and kcsan checks in other
functions of this file.
I saw this happen while testing randconfig builds with clang-22, but did
not try older versions, or attempt to see which kernel change introduced
the warning.

Add a kernel module that benchmarks queue_work() throughput on an
unbound workqueue to measure pool->lock contention under different
affinity scope configurations (cache vs cache_shard).
The module spawns N kthreads (default: num_online_cpus()), each bound
to a different CPU. All threads start simultaneously and queue work
items, measuring the latency of each queue_work() call. Results are
reported as p50/p90/p95 latencies for each affinity scope.
The affinity scope is switched between runs via the workqueue's sysfs
affinity_scope attribute (WQ_SYSFS), avoiding the need for any new
exported symbols.
The module runs as __init-only, returning -EAGAIN to auto-unload,
and can be re-run via insmod.
Example of the output:
running 50 threads, 50000 items/thread
cpu 6806017 items/sec p50=2574 p90=5068 p95=5818 ns
smt 6821040 items/sec p50=2624 p90=5168 p95=5949 ns
cache_shard 1633653 items/sec p50=5337 p90=9694 p95=11207 ns
cache 286069 items/sec p50=72509 p90=82304 p95=85009 ns

Patch series "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up", v2.
While removing Baikal SoC and platform code pieces I found that this code
belongs to lib/math/ rather than generic lib/. Hence the move and
followed up cleanups.
This patch (of 3):
The algorithm behind polynomial belongs to our collection of math
equations and expressions handling. Move it to math/ subfolder where
others of the kind are located.

This patch converts the existing glob selftest (lib/globtest.c) to use the
KUnit framework (lib/tests/glob_kunit.c).
The new test:
- Migrates all 64 test cases from the original test to the KUnit suite.
- Removes the custom 'verbose' module parameter as KUnit handles logging.
- Updates Kconfig.debug and Makefile to support the new KUnit test.
- Updates Kconfig and Makefile to remove the original selftest.
- Updates GLOB_SELFTEST to GLOB_KUNIT_TEST for arch/m68k/configs.
This commit is verified by `./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run'
with the .kunit/.kunitconfig:

Move lib/test_min_heap.c to lib/tests/min_heap_kunit.c and convert it to
use KUnit.
This change switches the ad-hoc test code to standard KUnit test cases.
The test data remains the same, but the verification logic is updated to
use KUNIT_EXPECT_* macros.
Also remove CONFIG_TEST_MIN_HEAP from arch/*/configs/* because it is no
longer used. The new CONFIG_MIN_HEAP_KUNIT_TEST will be automatically
enabled by CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS.
The reasons for converting to KUnit are:
1. Standardization:
Switching from ad-hoc printk-based reporting to the standard
KTAP format makes it easier for CI systems to parse and report test
results
2. Better Diagnostics:
Using KUNIT_EXPECT_* macros automatically provides detailed
diagnostics on failure.
3. Tooling Integration:
It allows the test to be managed and executed using standard
KUnit tools.

ccache:
Add a compatible for the pic64gx SoC. No driver change needed, as it
falls back to the PolarFire SoC.
hisi hha/generic cpu cache maintenance:
Add support for a non-architectural mechanism for invalidating memory
regions, needed for some cxl implementations on arm64 (and probably
elsewhere in the future). The HiSilicon Hydra Home Agent is the first
driver to provide this support.

ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_INVALIDATE_MEMREGION provides the mechanism for
invalidating certain memory regions in a cache-incoherent manner. Currently
this is used by NVDIMM and CXL memory drivers in cases where it is
necessary to flush all data from caches by physical address range.
The operations in question are effectively memory hotplug, where stale
data might otherwise remain in the caches.
This is separate from the invalidates done to enable use of non-coherent
DMA masters, primarily in terms of when it is needed (not related to DMA
mappings) and how deep the flush must push data. The flushes done for
non-coherent DMA only need to reach the Point of Coherence of a single host
(which is often nearer CPUs and DMA masters than the physical storage).
This operation must push the data out of non architectural caches
(memory-side caches, write buffers etc) and typically all the way to the
memory device.
In some architectures these operations are supported by system components
that may become available only later in boot as they are either present
on a discoverable bus, or via a firmware description of an MMIO interface
(e.g. ACPI DSDT). Provide a framework to handle this case.
Architectures can opt in for this support via
CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_CACHE_MAINTENANCE
Add a registration framework. Each driver provides an ops structure and
the first op is Write Back and Invalidate by PA Range. The driver may
over invalidate.
For systems that can perform this operation asynchronously an optional
completion check operation is also provided. If present that must be called
to ensure that the action has finished. This provides a considerable
performance advantage if multiple agents are involved in the maintenance
operation.
When multiple agents are present in the system each should register with
this framework and the core code will issue the invalidate to all of them
before checking for completion on each. This is done to avoid need for
filtering in the core code which can become complex when interleave,
potentially across different cache coherency hardware is going on, so it
is easier to tell everyone and let those who don't care do nothing.

Microbenchmark protected by a config FIND_BIT_BENCHMARK_RUST,
following `find_bit_benchmark.c` but testing the Rust Bitmap API.
We add a fill_random() method protected by the config in order to
maintain the abstraction.
The sample output from the benchmark, both C and Rust version:
find_bit_benchmark.c output:
```

Here are the results from 32 samples, with 95% confidence interval.
The microbenchmark was built with RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED=n and run on a
machine that did not execute other processes.
Random-filled bitmap:

+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
Rust appears 5.5% slower for next_bit, 1.3% slower for next_zero.
Sparse bitmap:

| next_zero | Rust | 1908.09 | 139.82 | 1859.65 | 1956.54 |
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
Rust appears 8.5% slower for next_bit, 2.6% slower for next_zero.
In summary, taking the arithmetic mean of all slow-downs, we can say
the Rust API has a 4.5% slowdown.

Testing kexec handover requires a kernel driver that will generate some
data and preserve it with KHO on the first boot and then restore that data
and verify it was preserved properly after kexec.
To facilitate such test, along with the kernel driver responsible for data
generation, preservation and restoration add a script that runs a kernel
in a VM with a minimal /init. The /init enables KHO, loads a kernel image
for kexec and runs kexec reboot. After the boot of the kexeced kernel,
the driver verifies that the data was properly preserved.

Pull CRC updates from Eric Biggers:
- Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC code
It now lives in lib/crc/$(SRCARCH)/ rather than arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/,
and it is no longer artificially split into separate generic and arch
modules. This allows better inlining and dead code elimination
The generic CRC code is also no longer exported, simplifying the API.
(This mirrors the similar changes to SHA-1 and SHA-2 in lib/crypto/,
which can be found in the "Crypto library updates" pull request)
- Improve crc32c() performance on newer x86_64 CPUs on long messages by
enabling the VPCLMULQDQ optimized code
- Simplify the crypto_shash wrappers for crc32_le() and crc32c()
Register just one shash algorithm for each that uses the (fully
optimized) library functions, instead of unnecessarily providing
direct access to the generic CRC code
- Remove unused and obsolete drivers for hardware CRC engines
- Remove CRC-32 combination functions that are no longer used
- Add kerneldoc for crc32_le(), crc32_be(), and crc32c()

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:
- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

'panic_print' was introduced to help debugging kernel panic by dumping
different kinds of system information like tasks' call stack, memory,
ftrace buffer, etc. Actually this function could also be used to help
debugging other cases like task-hung, soft/hard lockup, etc. where user
may need the snapshot of system info at that time.
Extract system info dump function related code from panic.c to separate
file sys_info.[ch], for wider usage by other kernel parts for debugging.
Also modify the macro names about singulars/plurals.

Variable Length Arrays (VLAs) on the stack must not be used in the kernel.
Function parameter VLAs[1] should be usable, but -Wvla will warn for
those. For example, this will produce a warning but it is not using a
stack VLA:
int something(size_t n, int array[n]) { ...
Clang has no way yet to distinguish between the VLA types[2], so
depend on GCC for now to keep stack VLAs out of the tree by using GCC's
-Wvla-larger-than=N option (though GCC may split -Wvla similarly[3] to
how Clang is planning to).
While GCC 8+ supports -Wvla-larger-than, only 9+ supports ...=0[4],
so use -Wvla-larger-than=1. Adjust mm/kasan/Makefile to remove it from
CFLAGS (GCC <9 appears unable to disable the warning correctly[5]).
The VLA usage in lib/test_ubsan.c was removed in commit 9d7ca61b1366
("lib/test_ubsan.c: VLA no longer used in kernel") so the lib/Makefile
disabling of VLA checking can be entirely removed.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock
(IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls)
- Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver
opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool
operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock.
- Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in
BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower
overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.
- Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy
Rx via io_uring.
- Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%.
- Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued
for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream
performance up to 2x.
- Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for
an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an
additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution.
- Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving
performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%.
- Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under
ping flood.
- Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win.
- Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly
identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4
namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments,
interpreted differently based on context.
- Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid
deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access.
- Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in
TCP.
- Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches.
