The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:
/*
* .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
* New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
* converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
*/
This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.
I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.
Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise.

When the -ffunction-sections compiler option is enabled, each function
is placed in a separate section named .text.function_name rather than
putting all functions in a single .text section.
However, using -function-sections can cause problems with the
linker script. The comments included in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
note these issues.:
“TEXT_MAIN here will match .text.fixup and .text.unlikely if dead
code elimination is enabled, so these sections should be converted
to use ".." first.”
It is unclear whether there is a straightforward method for converting
a suffix to "..".
This patch modifies the order of subsections within the text output
section. Specifically, it changes current order:
.text.hot, .text, .text_unlikely, .text.unknown, .text.asan
to the new order:
.text.asan, .text.unknown, .text_unlikely, .text.hot, .text
Here is the rationale behind the new layout:
The majority of the code resides in three sections: .text.hot, .text,
and .text.unlikely, with .text.unknown containing a negligible amount.
.text.asan is only generated in ASAN builds.
The primary goal is to group code segments based on their execution
frequency (hotness).
First, we want to place .text.hot adjacent to .text. Since we cannot put
.text.hot after .text (Due to constraints with -ffunction-sections,
placing .text.hot after .text is problematic), we need to put
.text.hot before .text.
Then it comes to .text.unlikely, we cannot put it after .text (same
-ffunction-sections issue) . Therefore, we position .text.unlikely
before .text.hot.
.text.unknown and .tex.asan follow the same logic.
This revised ordering effectively reverses the original arrangement (for
.text.unlikely, .text.unknown, and .tex.asan), maintaining a similar level
of affinity between sections.
It also places .text.hot section at the beginning of a page to better
utilize the TLB entry.
Note that the limitation arises because the linker script employs glob
patterns instead of regular expressions for string matching. While there
is a method to maintain the current order using complex patterns, this
significantly complicates the pattern and increases the likelihood of
errors.
This patch also changes vmlinux.lds.S for the sparc64 architecture to
accommodate specific symbol placement requirements.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.
Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
a more reliable replacement for the latter.
Core:
- Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
- RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
- introduce basic per netns locking helpers
- namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
- remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
rtnl_register_many()
- refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
possible out of RTNL lock
- convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
- convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
- convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.
- Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.
- Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
handling consistent and reliable.
- Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
better introspection in case of packets drop.
- Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.
- Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.
- Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
and timestamps
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
size.
- Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
implementation.
Netfilter:
- Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption
- Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.
- Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.
- Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
improvements.
BPF:
- Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.
- Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
combination with BPF cpumap.
- Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.
- Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority}
scrubbing to its BPF program.
- Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
programs.
Protocols:
- Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
significantly connected sockets lookup.
- Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
close, the socket lock contention.
- Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
lookups.
- Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
risks on loosing them.
- Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
device neigh lists.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.
- Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.
- Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.
- Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.
- Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
offload.
- Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
device-specific entries.
- Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.
- Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.
Tests and tooling:
- forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
phase
Drivers:
- Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
introspection.
- Ethernet high-speed NICs:

Pull vdso data page handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"First steps of consolidating the VDSO data page handling.
The VDSO data page handling is architecture specific for historical
reasons, but there is no real technical reason to do so.
Aside of that VDSO data has become a dump ground for various
mechanisms and fail to provide a clear separation of the
functionalities.
Clean this up by:
- consolidating the VDSO page data by getting rid of architecture
specific warts especially in x86 and PowerPC.
- removing the last includes of header files which are pulling in
other headers outside of the VDSO namespace.
- seperating timekeeping and other VDSO data accordingly.
Further consolidation of the VDSO page handling is done in subsequent
changes scheduled for the next merge window.
This also lays the ground for expanding the VDSO time getters for
independent PTP clocks in a generic way without making every

Additionally, 15 unnecessary bytes were allocated for hdesc, but instead
of fixing the parentheses in the open-coded version, use struct_size()

Place -fcall-used* flags behind cc-option so that clang (which doesn't
support them) can still compile the kernel.
This is a safe change, the reasoning is as follows:
In the (normal) 32-bit ABI, %g5 and %g7 is normally reserved, and in
the 64-bit ABI, %g7 is the reserved one.
Linux turns them into volatile registers by the way of -fcall-used-*,
but on the other hand, omitting the flags shouldn't be harmful;
compilers will now simply refuse to touch them, and any assembly
code that happens to touch them would still work like usual (because
Linux' conventions already treats them as volatile anyway).

We want to stop special casing hugetlb mappings and make them go through
generic channels, so teach arch_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle
those.
sparc specific hugetlb function does not set info.align_offset, and does
not care about adjusting the align_mask for MAP_SHARED cases, so the same
here for compatibility.

Add the four syscalls setxattrat(), getxattrat(), listxattrat() and
removexattrat(). Those can be used to operate on extended attributes,
especially security related ones, either relative to a pinned directory
or on a file descriptor without read access, avoiding a
/proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> detour, requiring a mounted procfs.
One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts
("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file
descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission.
Use the do_{name}at() pattern from fs/open.c.
Pass the value of the extended attribute, its length, and for
setxattrat(2) the command (XATTR_CREATE or XATTR_REPLACE) via an added
struct xattr_args to not exceed six syscall arguments and not
merging the AT_* and XATTR_* flags.
[AV: fixes by Christian Brauner folded in, the entire thing rebased on
top of {filename,file}_...xattr() primitives, treatment of empty
pathnames regularized. As the result, AT_EMPTY_PATH+NULL handling
is cheap, so f...(2) can use it]

SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID socket option flag gives a way to correlate TX
timestamps and packets sent via socket. Unfortunately, there is no way
to reliably predict socket timestamp ID value in case of error returned
by sendmsg. For UDP sockets it's impossible because of lockless
nature of UDP transmit, several threads may send packets in parallel. In
case of RAW sockets MSG_MORE option makes things complicated. More
details are in the conversation [1].
This patch adds new control message type to give user-space
software an opportunity to control the mapping between packets and
values by providing ID with each sendmsg for UDP sockets.
The documentation is also added in this patch.

"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

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.
