To pick the changes in:
da142f3d373a6dda ("KVM: Remove subtle "struct kvm_stats_desc" pseudo-overlay")
That just rebuilds perf, as these patches don't add any new KVM ioctl to
be harvested for the 'perf trace' ioctl syscall argument beautifiers.
This addresses this perf build warning:

'rseq_slice_yield' syscall
Picking up the changes from these csets:
2153b2e8917b73e9 ("sparc: Add architecture support for clone3")
99d2592023e5d0a3 ("rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()")
4ac286c4a8d904c8 ("s390/syscalls: Switch to generic system call table generation")
This makes 'perf trace' support it, now its possible, for instance, to
do:
# perf trace -e rseq_slice_yield --max-stack=16
Here is an example with the 'sendmmsg' syscall:
root@x1:~# perf trace -e sendmmsg --max-stack 16 --max-events=1
0.000 ( 0.062 ms): dbus-broker/1012 sendmmsg(fd: 150, mmsg: 0x7ffef57cca50, vlen: 1, flags: DONTWAIT|NOSIGNAL) = 1

Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:
"x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
(Dapeng Mi)
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)
This centers around these four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs,
which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls
(Jan H. Schönherr)
- Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the
unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus)
Uprobes updates:
- Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)
- Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)
- Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)
- x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)
- x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)

Pull vfs error reporting updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to support generic I/O error reporting.
Filesystems currently have no standard mechanism for reporting
metadata corruption and file I/O errors to userspace via fsnotify.
Each filesystem (xfs, ext4, erofs, f2fs, etc.) privately defines
EFSCORRUPTED, and error reporting to fanotify is inconsistent or
absent entirely.
This introduces a generic fserror infrastructure built around struct
super_block that gives filesystems a standard way to queue metadata
and file I/O error reports for delivery to fsnotify.
Errors are queued via mempools and queue_work to avoid holding
filesystem locks in the notification path; unmount waits for pending
events to drain. A new super_operations::report_error callback lets
filesystem drivers respond to file I/O errors themselves (to be used
by an upcoming XFS self-healing patchset).
On the uapi side, EFSCORRUPTED and EUCLEAN are promoted from private
per-filesystem definitions to canonical errno.h values across all
architectures"
* tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.fserror' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
ext4: convert to new fserror helpers
xfs: translate fsdax media errors into file "data lost" errors when convenient
xfs: report fs metadata errors via fsnotify
iomap: report file I/O errors to the VFS

Currently, the BPF cgroup iterator supports walking descendants in
either pre-order (BPF_CGROUP_ITER_DESCENDANTS_PRE) or post-order
(BPF_CGROUP_ITER_DESCENDANTS_POST). These modes perform an exhaustive
depth-first search (DFS) of the hierarchy. In scenarios where a BPF
program may need to inspect only the direct children of a given parent
cgroup, a full DFS is unnecessarily expensive.
This patch introduces a new BPF cgroup iterator control option,
BPF_CGROUP_ITER_CHILDREN. This control option restricts the traversal
to the immediate children of a specified parent cgroup, allowing for
more targeted and efficient iteration, particularly when exhaustive
depth-first search (DFS) traversal is not required.

With the introduction of the OMR feature, the PEBS memory auxiliary info
field for load and store latency events has been restructured for DMR.
The memory auxiliary info field's bit[8] indicates whether a L2 cache
miss occurred for a memory load or store instruction. If bit[8] is 0,
it signifies no L2 cache miss, and bits[7:0] specify the exact cache data
source (up to the L2 cache level). If bit[8] is 1, bits[7:0] represent
the OMR encoding, indicating the specific L3 cache or memory region
involved in the memory access. A significant enhancement is OMR encoding
provides up to 8 fine-grained memory regions besides the cache region.
A significant enhancement for OMR encoding is the ability to provide
up to 8 fine-grained memory regions in addition to the cache region,
offering more detailed insights into memory access regions.
For detailed information on the memory auxiliary info encoding, please
refer to section 16.2 "PEBS LOAD LATENCY AND STORE LATENCY FACILITY" in
the ISE documentation.
This patch ensures that the PEBS memory auxiliary info field is correctly
interpreted and utilized in DMR.

Deferred unwinding support:
With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd4d: "perf: Support deferred

trace with frame pointers like below:
$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...
This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains
to the previous samples as if they were collected together.
ARM SPE updates
- Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory
operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset,
register access, and SIMD operations.
- Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to
exclude certain data sources.
- Improve documentation.
Vendor event updates:
- Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor
Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.
- Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE
definitions.
- RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.
Misc:
- Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better
output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.
- Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to
enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show

Add a new BPF command BPF_PROG_ASSOC_STRUCT_OPS to allow associating
a BPF program with a struct_ops map. This command takes a file
descriptor of a struct_ops map and a BPF program and set
prog->aux->st_ops_assoc to the kdata of the struct_ops map.
The command does not accept a struct_ops program nor a non-struct_ops
map. Programs of a struct_ops map is automatically associated with the
map during map update. If a program is shared between two struct_ops
maps, prog->aux->st_ops_assoc will be poisoned to indicate that the
associated struct_ops is ambiguous. The pointer, once poisoned, cannot
be reset since we have lost track of associated struct_ops. For other
program types, the associated struct_ops map, once set, cannot be
changed later. This restriction may be lifted in the future if there is
a use case.
A kernel helper bpf_prog_get_assoc_struct_ops() can be used to retrieve
the associated struct_ops pointer. The returned pointer, if not NULL, is
guaranteed to be valid and point to a fully updated struct_ops struct.
For struct_ops program reused in multiple struct_ops map, the return
will be NULL.
prog->aux->st_ops_assoc is protected by bumping the refcount for
non-struct_ops programs and RCU for struct_ops programs. Since it would
be inefficient to track programs associated with a struct_ops map, every
non-struct_ops program will bump the refcount of the map to make sure
st_ops_assoc stays valid. For a struct_ops program, it is protected by
RCU as map_free will wait for an RCU grace period before disassociating
the program with the map. The helper must be called in BPF program
context or RCU read-side critical section.
struct_ops implementers should note that the struct_ops returned may not
be initialized nor attached yet. The struct_ops implementer will be
responsible for tracking and checking the state of the associated
struct_ops map if the use case expects an initialized or attached
struct_ops.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.
Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.
- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.
Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.
Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.
- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.
- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).
- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.
- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.
- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.
- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.
- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.
- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.
- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.
- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
RTT.
- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
connection RTT is low.
- Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.
- Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.
- Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
5837).
- Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).
- Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.
- Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.
- Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.
- Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
from Kees.
- Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.
- Some preparations for slimming down struct page.
- YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.
- Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly
computed derived statistics and summarized system state.
Driver API:
- Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.
- Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.
- Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
zl3073x).
- Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
IPsec and performs RSS.
- Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.
- Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.
- Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.
- Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.
Device drivers:
- Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.
- Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.
- Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET
operations for PHY timestamping.
- Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
reading the Rx ring count.

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.
Features:
- listns() system call
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
longstanding limitations:
Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
all processes, which is:
- Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
- Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
parent references
- Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
- No ordering or ownership information
- No filtering per namespace type
The listns() system call solves these problems:
ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);
struct ns_id_req {
__u32 size;
__u32 spare;
__u64 ns_id;
struct /* listns */ {
__u32 ns_type;
__u32 spare2;
__u64 user_ns_id;
};
};
Features include:
- Pagination support for large namespace sets
- Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
- Filtering by owning user namespace
- Permission checks respecting namespace isolation
- Active Reference Counting
Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
cases:
- The namespace is in use by a task
- The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount)
- The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
namespaces
The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
to namespace file handles and listns().
This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
not be accessible via (1)-(3).
- Unified Namespace Tree
Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
- Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
- Lookup based solely on inode number
- Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
- Simplified rbtree comparison helpers
Cleanups
- Header Reorganization:
- Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
- Decouple nstree from ns_common header
- Move nstree types into separate header
- Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
- Use guards for ns_tree_lock
- Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
- Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
away
- Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
- Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
- pid: rely on common reference count behavior
- Miscellaneous Cleanups
- Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
- Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument c |
