workqueue: Changes for v6.6
* Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work conservation too much. Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs. This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an eye out. * Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms. * workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue can be constrained early during boot. * Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if system-wide workqueues are flushed. * One pull commit from for-6.5-fixes to avoid cascading conflicts in the affinity scope patchset. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYIACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCZPERlQ4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGVqQAPwIOy9tWY5jFAmMuIyH6wV50hbmfxCc2n5xhQNr 5HoyGgEA8lw1W7afDCIPiQVA7AYsu8dhwuNSOcRCJxhrrn4XsA0= =g/Uu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'wq-for-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: - Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes.

Scheduler changes for v6.6:
- The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the
SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual
Deadline First") scheduler.
EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight
and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only.
It completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption,
picking -- everything.
LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF:
https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/
Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against
a fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval
tree, and the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task,
over-scheduling is less of a problem. A lot of the CFS
heuristics are removed or replaced by more natural latency-space
parameters & constructs.
In terms of expected performance regressions: we'll and can fix
everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler,
but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion,
hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases,
but in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that
got lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench.
We are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance
regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations
of that process.
- Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster
scheduling (again).
- Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems.
- Improve bandwidth-throttling.
- Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow.
- Misc improvements, cleanups and fixes.

The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features" located under "General Setup". The following options are impacted: - KEXEC - KEXEC_FILE - KEXEC_SIG - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE - KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_JUMP - CRASH_DUMP Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and are very similar to one another, but with slight differences. The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options): - arm - arm64 - ia64 - loongarch - m68k - mips - parisc - powerpc - riscv - s390 - sh - x86 More information: In the patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug" https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503224145.7405-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/ the new kernel feature introduces the config option CRASH_HOTPLUG. In reviewing, Thomas Gleixner requested that the new config option not be placed in x86 Kconfig. Rather the option needs a generic/common home. To Thomas' point, the KEXEC and CRASH options have largely been duplicated in the various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files, with minor differences. This kind of proliferation is to be avoid/stopped. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875y91yv63.ffs@tglx/ To that end, I have refactored the arch Kconfigs so as to consolidate the various KEXEC and CRASH options. Generally speaking, this work has the following themes: - KEXEC and CRASH options are moved into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec - These items from arch/Kconfig: CRASH_CORE KEXEC_CORE KEXEC_ELF HAVE_IMA_KEXEC - These items from arch/x86/Kconfig form the common options: KEXEC KEXEC_FILE KEXEC_SIG KEXEC_SIG_FORCE KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG KEXEC_JUMP CRASH_DUMP - These items from arch/arm64/Kconfig form the common options: KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - The crash hotplug series appends CRASH_HOTPLUG to Kconfig.kexec - The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features" and is now listed in "General Setup" submenu from init/Kconfig. - To control the common options, each has a new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> option. These gateway options determine whether the common options options are valid for the architecture. - To account for the slight differences in the original architecture coding of the common options, each now has a corresponding ARCH_SELECTS_<option> which are used to elicit the same side effects as the original arch/<arch>/Kconfig files for KEXEC and CRASH options. An example, 'make menuconfig' illustrating the submenu: > General setup > Kexec and crash features [*] Enable kexec system call [*] Enable kexec file based system call [*] Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall [ ] Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall [ ] Enable bzImage signature verification support [*] kexec jump [*] kernel crash dumps [*] Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes In the process of consolidating the common options, I encountered slight differences in the coding of these options in several of the architectures. As a result, I settled on the following solution: - Each of the common options has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>' statement. For example, the KEXEC_FILE option has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE' statement. This approach is needed on all common options so as to prevent options from appearing for architectures which previously did not allow/enable them. For example, arm supports KEXEC but not KEXEC_FILE. The arch/arm/Kconfig does not provide ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE and so KEXEC_FILE and related options are not available to arm. - The boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> in effect allows the arch to determine when the feature is allowed. Archs which don't have the feature simply do not provide the corresponding ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>. For each arch, where there previously were KEXEC and/or CRASH options, these have been replaced with the corresponding boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>, and an appropriate def_bool statement. For example, if the arch supports KEXEC_FILE, then the ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE simply has a 'def_bool y'. This permits the KEXEC_FILE option to be available. If the arch has a 'depends on' statement in its original coding of the option, then that expression becomes part of the def_bool expression. For example, arm64 had: config KEXEC depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP and in this solution, this converts to: config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC def_bool PM_SLEEP_SMP - In order to account for the architecture differences in the coding for the common options, the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> in the arch/<arch>/Kconfig is used. This option has a 'depends on <option>' statement to couple it to the main option, and from there can insert the differences from the common option and the arch original coding of that option. For example, a few archs enable CRYPTO and CRYTPO_SHA256 for KEXEC_FILE. These require a ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and 'select CRYPTO' and 'select CRYPTO_SHA256' statements. Illustrating the option relationships: For each of the common KEXEC and CRASH options: ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> <- <option> <- ARCH_SELECTS_<option> <option> # in Kconfig.kexec ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed ARCH_SELECTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed For example, KEXEC: ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC <- KEXEC <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC KEXEC # in Kconfig.kexec ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie. select statements). Examples: A few examples to show the new strategy in action: ===== x86 (minus the help section) ===== Original: config KEXEC bool "kexec system call" select KEXEC_CORE config KEXEC_FILE bool "kexec file based system call" select KEXEC_CORE select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA depends on X86_64 depends on CRYPTO=y depends on CRYPTO_SHA256=y config ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY def_bool KEXEC_FILE config KEXEC_SIG bool "Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall" depends on KEXEC_FILE config KEXEC_SIG_FORCE bool "Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall" depends on KEXEC_SIG config KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG bool "Enable bzImage signature verification support" depends on KEXEC_SIG depends on SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION select SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING config CRASH_DUMP bool "kernel crash dumps" depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM) config KEXEC_JUMP bool "kexec jump" depends on KEXEC && HIBERNATION help becomes... New: config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC def_bool y config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE def_bool X86_64 && CRYPTO && CRYPTO_SHA256 config ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE def_bool y depends on KEXEC_FILE select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY def_bool KEXEC_FILE config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG def_bool y config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_SIG_FORCE def_bool y config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG def_bool y config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_JUMP def_bool y config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP def_bool X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM) ===== powerpc (minus the help section) ===== Original: config KEXEC bool "kexec system call" depends on PPC_BOOK3S || PPC_E500 || (44x && !SMP) select KEXEC_CORE config KEXEC_FILE bool "kexec file based system call" select KEXEC_CORE select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA select KEXEC_ELF depends on PPC64 depends on CRYPTO=y depends on CRYPTO_SHA256=y config ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY def_bool KEXEC_FILE config CRASH_DUMP bool "Build a dump capture kernel" depends on PPC64 || PPC_BOOK3S_32 || PPC_85xx || (44x && !SMP) select RELOCATABLE if PPC64 || 44x || PPC_85xx becomes... New: config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC def_bool PPC_BOOK3S || PPC_E500 || (44x && !SMP) config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE def_bool PPC64 && CRYPTO=y && CRYPTO_SHA256=y config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY def_bool KEXEC_FILE config ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE def_bool y depends on KEXEC_FILE select KEXEC_ELF select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP def_bool PPC64 || PPC_BOOK3S_32 || PPC_85xx || (44x && !SMP) config ARCH_SELECTS_CRASH_DUMP def_bool y depends on CRASH_DUMP select RELOCATABLE if PPC64 || 44x || PPC_85xx Testing Approach and Results There are 388 config files in the arch/<arch>/configs directories. For each of these config files, a .config is generated both before and after this Kconfig series, and checked for equivalence. This approach allows for a rather rapid check of all architectures and a wide variety of configs wrt/ KEXEC and CRASH, and avoids requiring compiling for all architectures and running kernels and run-time testing. For each config file, the olddefconfig, allnoconfig and allyesconfig targets are utilized. In testing the randconfig has revealed problems as well, but is not used in the before and after equivalence check since one can not generate the "same" .config for before and after, even if using the same KCONFIG_SEED since the option list is different. As such, the following script steps compare the before and after of 'make olddefconfig'. The new symbols introduced by this series are filtered out, but otherwise the config files are PASS only if they were equivalent, and FAIL otherwise. The script performs the test by doing the following: # Obtain the "golden" .config output for given config file # Reset test sandbox git checkout master git branch -D test_Kconfig git checkout -B test_Kconfig master make distclean # Write out updated config cp -f <config file> .config make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig # Track each item in .config, LHSB is "golden" scoreboard .config # Obtain the "changed" .config output for given config file # Reset test sandbox make distclean # Apply this Kconfig series git am <this Kconfig series> # Write out updated config cp -f <config file> .config make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig # Track each item in .config, RHSB is "changed" scoreboard .config # Determine test result # Filter-out new symbols introduced by this series # Filter-out symbol=n which not in either scoreboard # Compare LHSB "golden" and RHSB "changed" scoreboards and issue PASS/FAIL The script was instrumental during the refactoring of Kconfig as it continually revealed problems. The end result being that the solution presented in this series passes all configs as checked by the script, with the following exceptions: - arch/ia64/configs/zx1_config with olddefconfig This config file has: # CONFIG_KEXEC is not set CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y and this refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC. - arch/sh/configs/* with allyesconfig The arch/sh/Kconfig codes CRASH_DUMP as dependent upon BROKEN_ON_MMU (which clearly is not meant to be set). This symbol is not provided but with the allyesconfig it is set to yes which enables CRASH_DUMP. But KEXEC is coded as dependent upon MMU, and is set to no in arch/sh/mm/Kconfig, so KEXEC is not enabled. This refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC. While the above exceptions are not equivalent to their original, the config file produced is valid (and in fact better wrt/ CRASH_DUMP handling). This patch (of 14) The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu. The following options are impacted: - KEXEC - KEXEC_FILE - KEXEC_SIG - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_JUMP - CRASH_DUMP The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP. Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options. Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled. To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie. select statements).

init: Add support for rootwait timeout parameter
Add an optional timeout arg to 'rootwait' as the maximum time in seconds to wait for the root device to show up before attempting forced mount of the root filesystem. Use case: In case of device mapper usage for the rootfs (e.g. root=/dev/dm-0), if the mapper is not able to create the virtual block for any reason (wrong arguments, bad dm-verity signature, etc), the `rootwait` param causes the kernel to wait forever. It may however be desirable to only wait for a given time and then panic (force mount) to cause device reset. This gives the bootloader a chance to detect the problem and to take some measures, such as marking the booted partition as bad (for A/B case) or entering a recovery mode. In success case, mounting happens as soon as the root device is ready, unlike the existing 'rootdelay' parameter which performs an unconditional pause.

workqueue: Initialize unbound CPU pods later in the boot
During boot, to initialize unbound CPU pods, wq_pod_init() was called from workqueue_init(). This is early enough for NUMA nodes to be set up but before SMP is brought up and CPU topology information is populated. Workqueue is in the process of improving CPU locality for unbound workqueues and will need access to topology information during pod init. This adds a new init function workqueue_init_topology() which is called after CPU topology information is available and replaces wq_pod_init(). As unbound CPU pods are now initialized after workqueues are activated, we need to revisit the workqueues to apply the pod configuration. Workqueues which are created before workqueue_init_topology() are set up so that they always use the default worker pool. After pods are set up in workqueue_init_topology(), wq_update_pod() is called on all existing workqueues to update the pool associations accordingly. Note that wq_update_pod_attrs_buf allocation is moved to workqueue_init_early(). This isn't necessary right now but enables further generalization of pod handling in the future. This patch changes the initialization sequence but the end result should be the same. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |

objtool changes for v6.5:
- Build footprint & performance improvements:
- Reduce memory usage with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
In the worst case of an allyesconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y kernel, DWARF
creates almost 200 million relocations, ballooning objtool's peak heap
usage to 53GB. These patches reduce that to 25GB.
On a distro-type kernel with kernel IBT enabled, they reduce objtool's
peak heap usage from 4.2GB to 2.8GB.
These changes also improve the runtime significantly.
- Debuggability improvements:
- Add the unwind_debug command-line option, for more extend unwinding
debugging output.
- Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
- Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
- Include backtrace in verbose mode
- Detect missing __noreturn annotations
- Ignore exc_double_fault() __noreturn warnings
- Remove superfluous global_noreturns entries
- Move noreturn function list to separate file
- Add __kunit_abort() to noreturns
- Unwinder improvements:
- Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions
- drm/vmwgfx: Add unwind hints around RBP clobber
- Cleanups:
- Move the x86 entry thunk restore code into thunk functions
- x86/unwind/orc: Use swap() instead of open coding it
- Remove unnecessary/unused variables
- Fixes for modern stack canary handling

Updates for the x86 boot process:
- Initialize FPU late.
Right now FPU is initialized very early during boot. There is no real
requirement to do so. The only requirement is to have it done before
alternatives are patched.
That's done in check_bugs() which does way more than what the function
name suggests.
So first rename check_bugs() to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which makes it
clear what this is about.
Move the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier in
start_kernel() as it has to be done before fork_init() which needs to
know the FPU register buffer size.
With those prerequisites the FPU initialization can be moved into
arch_cpu_finalize_init(), which removes it from the early and fragile
part of the x86 bringup.

kbuild: Fix CFI failures with GCOV
With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to each object file, and the functions are indirectly called during boot. However, when code is injected to object files that are not part of vmlinux.o, it's also not processed by objtool, which breaks CFI hash randomization as the hashes in these files won't be included in the .cfi_sites section and thus won't be randomized. Similarly to commit |

init: Invoke arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier
X86 is reworking the boot process so that initializations which are not required during early boot can be moved into the late boot process and out of the fragile and restricted initial boot phase. arch_cpu_finalize_init() is the obvious place to do such initializations, but arch_cpu_finalize_init() is invoked too late in start_kernel() e.g. for initializing the FPU completely. fork_init() requires that the FPU is initialized as the size of task_struct on X86 depends on the size of the required FPU register buffer. Fortunately none of the init calls between calibrate_delay() and arch_cpu_finalize_init() is relevant for the functionality of arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Invoke it right after calibrate_delay() where everything which is relevant for arch_cpu_finalize_init() has been set up already. No functional change intended.

init: Provide arch_cpu_finalize_init()
check_bugs() has become a dumping ground for all sorts of activities to finalize the CPU initialization before running the rest of the init code. Most are empty, a few do actual bug checks, some do alternative patching and some cobble a CPU advertisement string together.... Aside of that the current implementation requires duplicated function declaration and mostly empty header files for them. Provide a new function arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Provide a generic declaration if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_FINALIZE_INIT is selected and a stub inline otherwise. This requires a temporary #ifdef in start_kernel() which will be removed along with check_bugs() once the architectures are converted over.

cachestat: implement cachestat syscall
There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file
sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.
Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or
direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the
index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page
cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for
more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and
batching when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.
More information about these use cases could be found in the following
thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/
This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a
given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat_range {
__u64 off;
__u64 len;
};
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range,
struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported.
Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it
but before it returns to the application, the returned values may
contain stale information.
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid flags.
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file

init: improve the name_to_dev_t interface
name_to_dev_t has a very misleading name, that doesn't make clear it should only be used by the early init code, and also has a bad calling convention that doesn't allow returning different kinds of errors. Rename it to early_lookup_bdev to make the use case clear, and return an errno, where -EINVAL means the string could not be parsed, and -ENODEV means it the string was valid, but there was no device found for it. Also stub out the whole call for !CONFIG_BLOCK as all the non-block root cases are always covered in the caller.

Driver core changes for 6.4-rc1
Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1. Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes. This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for all busses and classes in the kernel. The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of them actually did so. Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other things: - kobject logging improvements - cacheinfo improvements and updates - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes - documentation updates - device property cleanups and const * changes - firwmare loader dependency fixes. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported problems.

Pull user work thread updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work generalizing the ability to create a kernel
worker from a userspace process.
Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace
process they were created from providing stronger security and
accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach
ever could've hoped for.
The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of
io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out
the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a
userspace process is generally useful.
The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api.
The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work
correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs
where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of
the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created.
Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the
userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition,
providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For
example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user
workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually
ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used.
So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism
as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for
create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers:
- Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task
is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a
userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized
version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags.
- Make copy_process() available to core kernel code
- Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields
allowing to indicate to copy_process():
- to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER)
- to not inherit any files from the userspace process
- to ignore signals
After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements
a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is
switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.
Thanks to Mike for sticking it out and making it through this rather
arduous journey"

init/initramfs: Fix argument forwarding to panic() in panic_show_mem()
Forwarding variadic argument lists can't be done by passing a va_list to a function with signature foo(...) (as panic() has). It ends up interpreting the va_list itself as a single argument instead of iterating it. printf() happily accepts it of course, leading to corrupt output. Convert panic_show_mem() to a macro to allow forwarding the arguments. The function is trivial enough that it's easier than trying to introduce a vpanic() variant.
