Although support for SME was merged in v5.19, we've since uncovered a
number of issues with the implementation, including issues which might
corrupt the FPSIMD/SVE/SME state of arbitrary tasks. While there are
patches to address some of these issues, ongoing review has highlighted
additional functional problems, and more time is necessary to analyse
and fix these.

For now, mark SME as BROKEN in the hope that we can fix things properly
in the near future. As SME is an OPTIONAL part of ARMv9.2+, and there is
very little extant hardware, this should not adversely affect the vast
majority of users.

<title>arm64: fix selection of HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS</title>

<id>b3d6121eaeb22aee8a02f46706745b1968cc0292</id>
<content type='text'>
The Kconfig logic to select HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is incorrect,
and HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS may be selected when it is not
supported by the combination of clang and GNU LD, resulting in link-time
errors:

  aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: .init.data has both ordered [`__patchable_function_entries' in init/main.o] and unordered [`.meminit.data' in mm/sparse.o] sections
  aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: bad value

... which can be seen when building with CC=clang using a binutils
version older than 2.36.

We originally fixed that in commit:

  45bd8951806eb5e8 ("arm64: Improve HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS selection for clang")

... by splitting the "select HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS" statement
into separete CLANG_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS and
GCC_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS options which individually select
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

Subsequently we accidentally re-introduced the common "select
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS" statement in commit:

  26299b3f6ba26bfc ("ftrace: arm64: move from REGS to ARGS")

... then we removed it again in commit:

  68a63a412d18bd2e ("arm64: Fix build with CC=clang, CONFIG_FTRACE=y and CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=y")

... then we accidentally re-introduced it again in commit:

  2aa6ac03516d078c ("arm64: ftrace: Add direct call support")

Fix this for the third time by keeping the unified select statement and
making this depend onf either GCC_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS or
CLANG_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. This is more consistent with
usual style and less likely to go wrong in future.

<title>arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround once more</title>

<id>081eb7932c2b244f63317a982c5e3990e2c7fbdd</id>
<content type='text'>
A number of Arm Ltd CPUs suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS
special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative
instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of
time.

We worked around this for a number of CPUs in commits:

* 7187bb7d0b5c7dfa ("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417")
* 75b3c43eab594bfb ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround")
* 145502cac7ea70b5 ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again)")

Since then, a (hopefully final) batch of updates have been published,
with two more affected CPUs. For the affected CPUs the existing
mitigation is sufficient, as described in their respective Software
Developer Errata Notice (SDEN) documents:

* Cortex-A715 (MP148) SDEN v15.0, erratum 3456084
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2148827/1500/

* Neoverse-N3 (MP195) SDEN v5.0, erratum 3456111
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-3050973/0500/

Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to
erratum_spec_ssbs_list, and update silicon-errata.rst and the
Kconfig text accordingly.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Support 'MITIGATION_{RETHUNK,RETPOLINE,SLS}' (which cleans up
     objtool warnings), teach objtool about 'noreturn' Rust symbols and
     mimic '___ADDRESSABLE()' for 'module_{init,exit}'. With that, we
     should be objtool-warning-free, so enable it to run for all Rust
     object files.

   - KASAN (no 'SW_TAGS'), KCFI and shadow call sanitizer support.

   - Support 'RUSTC_VERSION', including re-config and re-build on
     change.

   - Split helpers file into several files in a folder, to avoid
     conflicts in it. Eventually those files will be moved to the right
     places with the new build system. In addition, remove the need to
     manually export the symbols defined there, reusing existing
     machinery for that.

   - Relax restriction on configurations with Rust + GCC plugins to just
     the RANDSTRUCT plugin.

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'list' module: doubly-linked linked list for use with reference
     counted values, which is heavily used by the upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'ListArc' (a wrapper around 'Arc' that is guaranteed
     unique for the given ID), 'AtomicTracker' (tracks whether a
     'ListArc' exists using an atomic), 'ListLinks' (the prev/next
     pointers for an item in a linked list), 'List' (the linked list
     itself), 'Iter' (an iterator over a 'List'), 'Cursor' (a cursor
     into a 'List' that allows to remove elements), 'ListArcField' (a
     field exclusively owned by a 'ListArc'), as well as support for
     heterogeneous lists.

   - New 'rbtree' module: red-black tree abstractions used by the
     upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'RBTree' (the red-black tree itself), 'RBTreeNode' (a
     node), 'RBTreeNodeReservation' (a memory reservation for a node),
     'Iter' and 'IterMut' (immutable and mutable iterators), 'Cursor'
     (bidirectional cursor that allows to remove elements), as well as
     an entry API similar to the Rust standard library one.

   - 'init' module: add 'write_[pin_]init' methods and the
     'InPlaceWrite' trait. Add the 'assert_pinned!' macro.

   - 'sync' module: implement the 'InPlaceInit' trait for 'Arc' by
     introducing an associated type in the trait.

   - 'alloc' module: add 'drop_contents' method to 'BoxExt'.

   - 'types' module: implement the 'ForeignOwnable' trait for
     'Pin&lt;Box&lt;T&gt;&gt;' and improve the trait's documentation. In addition,
     add the 'into_raw' method to the 'ARef' type.

   - 'error' module: in preparation for the upcoming Rust support for
     32-bit architectures, like arm, locally allow Clippy lint for
     those.

  Documentation:

   - https://rust.docs.kernel.org has been announced, so link to it.

   - Enable rustdoc's "jump to definition" feature, making its output a
     bit closer to the experience in a cross-referencer.

   - Debian Testing now also provides recent Rust releases (outside of
     the freeze period), so add it to the list.

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Trevor is joining as reviewer of the "RUST" entry.

  And a few other small bits"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
  architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
  to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
  code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
  to base their work.

  So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
  issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
  powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
  commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.

  This contains:

   - Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
     running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.

   - Additions to the vDSO getrandom &amp; chacha selftests. Basically every
     time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
     or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.

     By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
     the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.

   - Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
     build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
     assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
     carry through to the other architectures.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
     Huacai Chen.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
     by Will Deacon.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
  architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
  to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
  code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
  to base their work.

  So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
  issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
  powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
  commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.

  This contains:

   - Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
     running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.

   - Additions to the vDSO getrandom &amp; chacha selftests. Basically every
     time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
     or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.

     By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
     the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.

   - Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
     build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
     assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
     carry through to the other architectures.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
     Huacai Chen.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
     by Will Deacon.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to PowerPC, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
     varieties, from Christophe Leroy and acked by Michael Ellerman.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to S390X from Heiko Carstens, the arch
     maintainer.

It is really time.

arm64 has all the required architecture related changes, that have been
identified over time, in order to enable PREEMPT_RT. With the recent
printk changes, the last known road block has been addressed.

Allow to enable PREEMPT_RT on arm64.

<title>mm/arm64: support large pfn mappings</title>

Support huge pfnmaps by using bit 56 (PTE_SPECIAL) for "special" on
pmds/puds.  Provide the pmd/pud helpers to set/get special bit.

There's one more thing missing for arm64 which is the pxx_pgprot() for
pmd/pud.  Add them too, which is mostly the same as the pte version by
dropping the pfn field.  These helpers are essential to be used in the new
follow_pfnmap*() API to report valid pgprot_t results.

Note that arm64 doesn't yet support huge PUD yet, but it's still
straightforward to provide the pud helpers that we need altogether.  Only
PMD helpers will make an immediate benefit until arm64 will support huge
PUDs first in general (e.g.  in THPs).
