Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
- More safety fixes, primarily found by syzbot
- Run the upgrade/downgrade paths in nochnages mode. Nochanges mode is
primarily for testing fsck/recovery in dry run mode, so it shouldn't
change anything besides disabling writes and holding dirty metadata
in memory.
The idea here was to reduce the amount of activity if we can't write
anything out, so that bringing up a filesystem in "super ro" mode
would be more lilkely to work for data recovery - but norecovery is
the correct option for this.
- btree_trans->locked; we now track whether a btree_trans has any btree
nodes locked, and this is used for improved assertions related to
trans_unlock() and trans_relock(). We'll also be using it for
improving how we work with lockdep in the future: we don't want
lockdep to be tracking individual btree node locks because we take
too many for lockdep to track, and it's not necessary since we have a
cycle detector.
- Trigger improvements that are prep work for online fsck
- BTREE_TRIGGER_check_repair; this regularizes how we do some repair
work for extents that goes with running triggers in fsck, and fixes
some subtle issues with transaction restarts there.
- bch2_snapshot_equiv() has now been ripped out of fsck.c; snapshot
equivalence classes are for when snapshot deletion leaves behind
redundant snapshot nodes, but snapshot deletion now cleans this up
right away, so the abstraction doesn't need to leak.
- Improvements to how we resume writing to the journal in recovery. The
code for picking the new place to write when reading the journal is
greatly simplified and we also store the position in the superblock
for when we don't read the journal; this means that we preserve more
of the journal for list_journal debugging.
- Improvements to sysfs btree_cache and btree_node_cache, for debugging
memory reclaim.
- We now detect when we've blocked for 10 seconds on the allocator in
the write path and dump some useful info.
- Safety fixes for devices references: this is a big series that
changes almost all device lookups to properly check if the device
exists and take a reference to it.
Previously we assumed that if a bkey exists that references a device
then the device must exist, and this was enforced in .invalid
methods, but this was incorrect because it meant device removal
relied on accounting being correct to not leave keys pointing to
invalid devices, and that's not something we can assume.
Getting the "pointer to invalid device" checks out of our .invalid()
methods fixes some long standing device removal bugs; the only
outstanding bug with device removal now is a race between the discard
path and deleting alloc info, which should be easily fixed.
- The allocator now prefers not to expand the new
member_info.btree_allocated bitmap, meaning if repair ever requires
scanning for btree nodes (because of a corrupt interior nodes) we
won't have to scan the whole device(s).
- New coding style document, which among other things talks about the
correct usage of assertions

Pull more io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for IORING_CQE_F_SOCK_NONEMPTY for io_uring accept
requests.
This is very similar to previous work that enabled the same hint for
doing receives on sockets. By far the majority of the work here is
refactoring to enable the networking side to pass back whether or not
the socket had more pending requests after accepting the current one,
the last patch just wires it up for io_uring.
Not only does this enable applications to know whether there are more
connections to accept right now, it also enables smarter logic for
io_uring multishot accept on whether to retry immediately or wait for
a poll trigger"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing ring buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Add ring_buffer memory mappings.
The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with
the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers
and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer
that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the
swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory
into other mediums (file system, network, etc).
The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the
kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space
task itself.
A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring
buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader
sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change
which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer.
The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the
ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer
that the writer will not write over.
A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an
example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to
the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is
disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be
enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used
for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being
mapped.
Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can
not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped,
snapshots will be disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots
on a buffer, that buffer will not be allowed to be mapped"

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
- tracing/probes: Add new pseudo-types %pd and %pD support for dumping
dentry name from 'struct dentry *' and file name from 'struct file *'
- uprobes performance optimizations:
- Speed up the BPF uprobe event by delaying the fetching of the
uprobe event arguments that are not used in BPF
- Avoid locking by speculatively checking whether uprobe event is
valid
- Reduce lock contention by using read/write_lock instead of
spinlock for uprobe list operation. This improved BPF uprobe
benchmark result 43% on average
- rethook: Remove non-fatal warning messages when tracing stack from
BPF and skip rcu_is_watching() validation in rethook if possible
- objpool: Optimize objpool (which is used by kretprobes and fprobe as
rethook backend storage) by inlining functions and avoid caching
nr_cpu_ids because it is a const value
- fprobe: Add entry/exit callbacks types (code cleanup)
- kprobes: Check ftrace was killed in kprobes if it uses ftrace
* tag 'probes-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
likely place where the final series that removes the check for
proc_name == NULL will land.
This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
- Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
- Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
- Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
- Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
Weißschuh.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- The locking around cpuset hotplug processing has always been a bit of
mess which was worked around by making hotplug processing
asynchronous. The asynchronity isn't great and led to other issues.
We tried to make the behavior synchronous a while ago but that led to
lockdep splats. Waiman took another stab at cleaning up and making it
synchronous. The patch has been in -next for well over a month and
there haven't been any complaints, so fingers crossed.

If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.
This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:
[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer
sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
# In another terminal
make
sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
# Back to perf terminal
# ctrl-c
sudo perf probe --del commit_creds
After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.
