Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
 "Including fixes from CAN, netfilter and wireless.

   - dev_ioctl: take ops lock in hwtstamp lower paths

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix a nasty hibernation regression introduced during the 6.16
  cycle, an issue related to energy model management occurring on Intel
  hybrid systems where some CPUs are offline to start with, and two
  regressions in the amd-pstate driver:

   - Restore a pm_restrict_gfp_mask() call in hibernation_snapshot()
     that was removed incorrectly during the 6.16 development cycle
     (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Introduce a function for registering a perf domain without
     triggering a system-wide CPU capacity update and make the
     intel_pstate driver use it to avoid reocurring unsuccessful
     attempts to update capacities of all CPUs in the system (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Fix setting of CPPC.min_perf in the active mode with performance
     governor in the amd-pstate driver to restore its expected behavior

Pull vmescape mitigation fixes from Dave Hansen:
 "Mitigate vmscape issue with indirect branch predictor flushes.

  vmscape is a vulnerability that essentially takes Spectre-v2 and
  attacks host userspace from a guest. It particularly affects
  hypervisors like QEMU.

  Even if a hypervisor may not have any sensitive data like disk
  encryption keys, guest-userspace may be able to attack the
  guest-kernel using the hypervisor as a confused deputy.

  There are many ways to mitigate vmscape using the existing Spectre-v2
  defenses like IBRS variants or the IBPB flushes. This series focuses
  solely on IBPB because it works universally across vendors and all
  vulnerable processors. Further work doing vendor and model-specific
  optimizations can build on top of this if needed / wanted.

  Do the normal issue mitigation dance:

   - Add the CPU bug boilerplate

   - Add a list of vulnerable CPUs

   - Use IBPB to flush the branch predictors after running guests"

In C, enumerated types do not have a defined size, apart from being
compatible with one of the standard types. This allows an ABI /
compiler to choose the type of an enum depending on the values it
needs to store, and storing larger values in it can lead to undefined
behaviour.

The tx_type and rx_filters members of struct kernel_ethtool_ts_info
are defined as enumerated types, but are bit arrays, where each bit
is defined by the enumerated type. This means they typically store
values in excess of the maximum value of the enumerated type, in
fact (1 &lt;&lt; max_value) and thus must not be declared using the
enumated type.

Fix both of these to use u32, as per the corresponding __u32 UAPI type.

<title>PM: EM: Add function for registering a PD without capacity update</title>

<id>e0423541477dfb684fbc6e6b5386054bc650f264</id>
<content type='text'>
The intel_pstate driver manages CPU capacity changes itself and it does
not need an update of the capacity of all CPUs in the system to be
carried out after registering a PD.

Moreover, in some configurations (for instance, an SMT-capable
hybrid x86 system booted with nosmt in the kernel command line) the
em_check_capacity_update() call at the end of em_dev_register_perf_domain()
always fails and reschedules itself to run once again in 1 s, so
effectively it runs in vain every 1 s forever.

To address this, introduce a new variant of em_dev_register_perf_domain(),
called em_dev_register_pd_no_update(), that does not invoke
em_check_capacity_update(), and make intel_pstate use it instead of the
original.

<title>compiler-clang.h: define __SANITIZE_*__ macros only when undefined</title>

<id>3fac212fe489aa0dbe8d80a42a7809840ca7b0f9</id>
<content type='text'>
Clang 22 recently added support for defining __SANITIZE__ macros similar
to GCC [1], which causes warnings (or errors with CONFIG_WERROR=y or W=e)
with the existing defines that the kernel creates to emulate this behavior
with existing clang versions.

  In file included from &lt;built-in&gt;:3:
  In file included from include/linux/compiler_types.h:171:
  include/linux/compiler-clang.h:37:9: error: '__SANITIZE_THREAD__' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]
     37 | #define __SANITIZE_THREAD__
        |         ^
  &lt;built-in&gt;:352:9: note: previous definition is here
    352 | #define __SANITIZE_THREAD__ 1
        |         ^

Refactor compiler-clang.h to only define the sanitizer macros when they
are undefined and adjust the rest of the code to use these macros for
checking if the sanitizers are enabled, clearing up the warnings and
allowing the kernel to easily drop these defines when the minimum
supported version of LLVM for building the kernel becomes 22.0.0 or newer.

<title>mm/vmalloc, mm/kasan: respect gfp mask in kasan_populate_vmalloc()</title>

<id>79357cd06d41d0f5a11b17d7c86176e395d10ef2</id>
<content type='text'>
kasan_populate_vmalloc() and its helpers ignore the caller's gfp_mask and
always allocate memory using the hardcoded GFP_KERNEL flag.  This makes
them inconsistent with vmalloc(), which was recently extended to support
GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO allocations.

Page table allocations performed during shadow population also ignore the
external gfp_mask.  To preserve the intended semantics of GFP_NOFS and
GFP_NOIO, wrap the apply_to_page_range() calls into the appropriate
memalloc scope.

xfs calls vmalloc with GFP_NOFS, so this bug could lead to deadlock.

There was a report here
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/686ea951.050a0220.385921.0016.GAE@google.com

This patch:
 - Extends kasan_populate_vmalloc() and helpers to take gfp_mask;
 - Passes gfp_mask down to alloc_pages_bulk() and __get_free_page();
 - Enforces GFP_NOFS/NOIO semantics with memalloc_*_save()/restore()
   around apply_to_page_range();
 - Updates vmalloc.c and percpu allocator call sites accordingly.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "fuse:

   - Prevent opening of non-regular backing files.

     Fuse doesn't support non-regular files anyway.

   - Check whether copy_file_range() returns a larger size than
     requested.

   - Prevent overflow in copy_file_range() as fuse currently only
     supports 32-bit sized copies.

   - Cache the blocksize value if the server returned a new value as
     inode-&gt;i_blkbits isn't modified directly anymore.

   - Fix i_blkbits handling for iomap partial writes.

     By default i_blkbits is set to PAGE_SIZE which causes iomap to mark
     the whole folio as uptodate even on a partial write. But fuseblk
     filesystems support choosing a blocksize smaller than PAGE_SIZE
     risking data corruption. Simply enforce PAGE_SIZE as blocksize for
     fuseblk's internal inode for now.

   - Prevent out-of-bounds acces in fuse_dev_write() when the number of
     bytes to be retrieved is truncated to the fc-&gt;max_pages limit.

  virtiofs:

   - Fix page faults for DAX page addresses.

  Misc:

   - Tighten file handle decoding from userns.

     Check that the decoded dentry itself has a valid idmapping in the
     user namespace.

   - Fix mount-notify selftests.

   - Fix some indentation errors.

   - Add an FMODE_ flag to indicate IOCB_HAS_METADATA availability.

     This will be moved to an FOP_* flag with a bit more rework needed
     for that to happen not suitable for a fix.

   - Don't silently ignore metadata for sync read/write.

   - Don't pointlessly log warning when reading coredump sysctls"

* tag 'vfs-6.17-rc6.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
  fuse: virtio_fs: fix page fault for DAX page address
