Commit 1db9d06aaa55 ("mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLAB from all Kconfig and
Makefile") removes the config SLAB and makes the SLUB allocator the only
default allocator in the kernel. Hence, the advice on reducing OS jitter
due to kworker kernel threads to build with CONFIG_SLUB instead of
CONFIG_SLAB is obsolete.
Remove the obsolete advice to build with SLUB instead of SLAB.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Generic:
- Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow.
- Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all
architectures.
- Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting
- New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that
creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers
to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine,
cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be
resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can
be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular
anonymous memory.
- New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify
per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the
only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via
guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP,
TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that
guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in
the case of pKVM).
x86:
- Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new
guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly
useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to
provide a meaningfully reduced TCB.
- Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages
during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
- Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in
non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with
a non-huge SPTE.
- Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually
care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer.
- let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a
stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit
(added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set.
- Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for
TLB_CONTROL.
- Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM
always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush
requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware
Workstation on top of KVM.
- Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV
support.
- On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of
intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs
- Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM)
- Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters
and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model.
- Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events
using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous"
counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is
recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event
count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow
and for KVM-triggered overflow.
- Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not
inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be
problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1
builds.
- Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate
IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features".
- Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the
current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause
kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace
hotplugs a pre-created vCPU.
- Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter
fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to
make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds.
- Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on
CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the
code.
- Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV
"emulation" at build time.
ARM64:
- LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base
granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the
feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix
branch shared with the arm64 tree.
- Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly
introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to
that version of the architecture.
- A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups.
Loongarch:
- Optimization for memslot hugepage checking
- Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues
- Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support
RISC-V:
- KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers
- Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list
selftest
- Support for reporting steal time along with selftest
s390:
- Bugfixes
Selftests:
- Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage
instead of the magic token needed to run the test.
- Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing
flag in the Makefile.
- Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful
message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed.
- Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix
the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation"

LoongArch already supports two crashkernel regions in kexec-tools, so we
can directly use the common interface to support crashkernel=X,[high,low]
after commit 0ab97169aa0517079b ("crash_core: add generic function to do
reservation").
With the help of newly changed function parse_crashkernel() and generic
reserve_crashkernel_generic(), crashkernel reservation can be simplified
by steps:
1) Add a new header file <asm/crash_core.h>, then define CRASH_ALIGN,
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX and CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX and in <asm/crash_core.h>;
2) Add arch_reserve_crashkernel() to call parse_crashkernel() and
reserve_crashkernel_generic();
3) Add ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION Kconfig in
arch/loongarch/Kconfig.
One can reserve the crash kernel from high memory above DMA zone range
by explicitly passing "crashkernel=X,high"; or reserve a memory range
below 4G with "crashkernel=X,low". Besides, there are few rules need to
take notice:
1) "crashkernel=X,[high,low]" will be ignored if "crashkernel=size" is
specified.
2) "crashkernel=X,low" is valid only when "crashkernel=X,high" is passed
and there is enough memory to be allocated under 4G.
3) When allocating crashkernel above 4G and no "crashkernel=X,low" is
specified, a 128M low memory will be allocated automatically for
swiotlb bounce buffer.
See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt for more information.
Following test cases have been performed as expected:
1) crashkernel=256M //low=256M
2) crashkernel=1G //low=1G
3) crashkernel=4G //high=4G, low=128M(default)
4) crashkernel=4G crashkernel=256M,high //high=4G, low=128M(default), high is ignored
5) crashkernel=4G crashkernel=256M,low //high=4G, low=128M(default), low is ignored
6) crashkernel=4G,high //high=4G, low=128M(default)
7) crashkernel=256M,low //low=0M, invalid
8) crashkernel=4G,high crashkernel=256M,low //high=4G, low=256M
9) crashkernel=4G,high crashkernel=4G,low //high=0M, low=0M, invalid
10) crashkernel=512M@2560M //low=512M
11) crashkernel=1G,high crashkernel=0M,low //high=1G, low=0M
Recommended usage in general:
1) In the case of small memory: crashkernel=512M
2) In the case of large memory: crashkernel=1024M,high crashkernel=128M,low

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following
a warning that was added in 6.2
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to,
hopefully, make it more useful
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly
with __counted_by annotations
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the
delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs
build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has
addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into
sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate
maintainer trees

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances
- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host
- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash
- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform
- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute

The kernel-feat directive passes its argument straight to the shell.
This is unfortunate and unnecessary.
Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use
subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True).
This also makes the code shorter.
This is analogous to commit 3231dd586277 ("docs: kernel_abi.py: fix
command injection") where we did exactly the same thing for
kernel_abi.py, somehow I completely missed this one.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator
Pull regulator updates from Mark Brown:
"The main updates for this release are around monitoring of regulators,
largely for error handling purposes. We allow the stream of regulator
events to be seen by userspace as netlink events and allow system
integrators to describe individual regulators as system critical with
information on how long the system is expected to last on error. The
system level error handling is very much about best effort problem
mitigation rather than providing something fully robust, the initial
drive was to provide a mechanism for trying to avoid initiating any
new writes to flash once we notice the power going out.
Otherwise it's very quiet, mainly several new Qualcomm devices.
- Support for marking regulators as system critical and providing
information on how long the system might last with those regulators
in a failure state, hooked into the existing critical shutdown
error handling.
- Optional support for generating netlink events for events, there
are use cases for system monitoring UIs and error handling.
- A command line option to leave unused controllable regulators
enabled, useful for debugging. We already only disable regulators
we were explicitly given permission to control.
- Support for Quacomm MP5496, PM8010 and PM8937"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
included in this merge do the following:
- Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series
'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
'Some cleanups of maple tree'
- In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.
- Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
in the patch series
'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
'Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio'
'Finish two folio conversions'
'More swap folio conversions'
- Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series
'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'
- Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
'tweak kmemleak report format'.
- In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
of no longer needed stack traces.
- Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.
- Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.
- Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.
- Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.
- DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the
series
'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS'
'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests'
'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8'
- Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm:
memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'.
- In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts
has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
anonymous page faults.
- Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
cleanups'.
- Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.
- Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning
aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use
in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'.
- Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback
