Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.
Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
other minor patch series being held over for next time.
Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
into 6.1-rc1.
Summary:
- The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport
- Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long
- DAMON updates from SeongJae Park
- memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin
- vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki
- more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox
- enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra
- addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
Shiyang Ruan
- hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz
- Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
latency and realtime behaviour.

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Consolidate duplicated 'next function' scanning and extend to allow
'isolated functions' on s390, similar to existing hypervisors
(Niklas Schnelle)
Resource management:
- Implement pci_iobar_pfn() for sparc, which allows us to remove the
sparc-specific pci_mmap_page_range() and pci_mmap_resource_range().
This removes the ability to map the entire PCI I/O space using
/proc/bus/pci, but we believe that's already been broken since
v2.6.28 (Arnd Bergmann)
- Move common PCI definitions to asm-generic/pci.h and rework others
to be be more specific and more encapsulated in arches that need
them (Stafford Horne)
Power management:
- Convert drivers to new *_PM_OPS macros to avoid need for '#ifdef
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP' or '__maybe_unused' (Bjorn Helgaas)
Virtualization:
- Add ACS quirk for Broadcom BCM5750x multifunction NICs that isolate
the functions but don't advertise an ACS capability (Pavan Chebbi)
Error handling:
- Clear PCI Status register during enumeration in case firmware left
errors logged (Kai-Heng Feng)
- When we have native control of AER, enable error reporting for all
devices that support AER. Previously only a few drivers enabled
this (Stefan Roese)
- Keep AER error reporting enabled for switches. Previously we
enabled this during enumeration but immediately disabled it (Stefan
Roese)
- Iterate over error counters instead of error strings to avoid
printing junk in AER sysfs counters (Mohamed Khalfella)
ASPM:
- Remove pcie_aspm_pm_state_change() so ASPM config changes, e.g.,
via sysfs, are not lost across power state changes (Kai-Heng Feng)
Endpoint framework:
- Don't stop an EPC when unbinding an EPF from it (Shunsuke Mie)
Endpoint embedded DMA controller driver:
- Simplify and clean up support for the DesignWare embedded DMA
(eDMA) controller (Frank Li, Serge Semin)
Broadcom STB PCIe controller driver:
- Avoid config space accesses when link is down because we can't
recover from the CPU aborts these cause (Jim Quinlan)
- Look for power regulators described under Root Ports in DT and
enable them before scanning the secondary bus (Jim Quinlan)
- Disable/enable regulators in suspend/resume (Jim Quinlan)
Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Simplify and clean up clock and PHY management (Richard Zhu)
- Disable/enable regulators in suspend/resume (Richard Zhu)
- Set PCIE_DBI_RO_WR_EN before writing DBI registers (Richard Zhu)
- Allow speeds faster than Gen2 (Richard Zhu)
- Make link being down a non-fatal error so controller probe doesn't
fail if there are no Endpoints connected (Richard Zhu)
Loongson PCIe controller driver:
- Add ACPI and MCFG support for Loongson LS7A (Huacai Chen)
- Avoid config reads to non-existent LS2K/LS7A devices because a
hardware defect causes machine hangs (Huacai Chen)
- Work around LS7A integrated devices that report incorrect Interrupt
Pin values (Jianmin Lv)

- Allow building of driver for ARCH_AIROHA (Felix Fietkau)
MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:
- Print decoded LTSSM state when the link doesn't come up (Jianjun
Wang)
NVIDIA Tegra194 PCIe controller driver:
- Convert DT binding to json-schema (Vidya Sagar)
- Add DT bindings and driver support for Tegra234 Root Port and
Endpoint mode (Vidya Sagar)
- Fix some Root Port interrupt handling issues (Vidya Sagar)
- Set default Max Payload Size to 256 bytes (Vidya Sagar)
- Fix Data Link Feature capability programming (Vidya Sagar)
- Extend Endpoint mode support to devices beyond Controller-5 (Vidya
Sagar)
Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

Samsung Exynos PCIe controller driver:
- Fix phy-exynos-pcie driver so it follows the 'phy_init() before
phy_power_on()' PHY programming model (Marek Szyprowski)
Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:
- Simplify and clean up the DWC core extensively (Serge Semin)
- Fix an issue with programming the ATU for regions that cross a 4GB
boundary (Serge Semin)
- Enable the CDM check if 'snps,enable-cdm-check' exists; previously
we skipped it if 'num-lanes' was absent (Serge Semin)
- Allocate a 32-bit DMA-able page to be MSI target instead of using a
driver data structure that may not be addressable with 32-bit
address (Will McVicker)
- Add DWC core support for more than 32 MSI interrupts (Dmitry
Baryshkov)

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This brings some long awaited changes, the send protocol bump,
otherwise lots of small improvements and fixes. The main core part is
reworking bio handling, cleaning up the submission and endio and
improving error handling.
There are some changes outside of btrfs adding helpers or updating
API, listed at the end of the changelog.
Features:
- sysfs:
- export chunk size, in debug mode add tunable for setting its size
- show zoned among features (was only in debug mode)
- show commit stats (number, last/max/total duration)
- send protocol updated to 2
- new commands:
- ability write larger data chunks than 64K
- send raw compressed extents (uses the encoded data ioctls),
ie. no decompression on send side, no compression needed on
receive side if supported
- send 'otime' (inode creation time) among other timestamps
- send file attributes (a.k.a file flags and xflags)
- this is first version bump, backward compatibility on send and
receive side is provided
- there are still some known and wanted commands that will be
implemented in the near future, another version bump will be
needed, however we want to minimize that to avoid causing
usability issues
- print checksum type and implementation at mount time
- don't print some messages at mount (mentioned as people asked about
it), we want to print messages namely for new features so let's
make some space for that
- big metadata - this has been supported for a long time and is
not a feature that's worth mentioning
- skinny metadata - same reason, set by default by mkfs
Performance improvements:
- reduced amount of reserved metadata for delayed items
- when inserted items can be batched into one leaf
- when deleting batched directory index items
- when deleting delayed items used for deletion
- overall improved count of files/sec, decreased subvolume lock
contention
- metadata item access bounds checker micro-optimized, with a few
percent of improved runtime for metadata-heavy operations
- increase direct io limit for read to 256 sectors, improved
throughput by 3x on sample workload
Notable fixes:
- raid56
- reduce parity writes, skip sectors of stripe when there are no
data updates
- restore reading from on-disk data instead of using stripe cache,
this reduces chances to damage correct data due to RMW cycle
- refuse to replay log with unknown incompat read-only feature bit
set
- zoned
- fix page locking when COW fails in the middle of allocation
- improved tracking of active zones, ZNS drives may limit the
number and there are ENOSPC errors due to that limit and not
actual lack of space
- adjust maximum extent size for zone append so it does not cause
late ENOSPC due to underreservation
- mirror reading error messages show the mirror number
- don't fallback to buffered IO for NOWAIT direct IO writes, we don't
have the NOWAIT semantics for buffered io yet
- send, fix sending link commands for existing file paths when there
are deleted and created hardlinks for same files
- repair all mirrors for profiles with more than 1 copy (raid1c34)
- fix repair of compressed extents, unify where error detection and
repair happen
Core changes:
- bio completion cleanups
- don't double defer compression bios
- simplify endio workqueues
- add more data to btrfs_bio to avoid allocation for read requests
- rework bio error handling so it's same what block layer does,
the submission works and errors are consumed in endio
- when asynchronous bio offload fails fall back to synchronous
checksum calculation to avoid errors under writeback or memory
pressure
- new trace points
- raid56 events
- ordered extent operations
- super block log_root_transid deprecated (never used)
- mixed_backref and big_metadata sysfs feature files removed, they've
been default for sufficiently long time, there are no known users
and mixed_backref could be confused with mixed_groups
Non-btrfs changes, API updates:
- minor highmem API update to cover const arguments
- switch all kmap/kmap_atomic to kmap_local
- remove redundant flush_dcache_page()
- address_space_operations::writepage callback removed
- add bdev_max_segments() helper"

For all syscalls in 32-bit compat mode on 64-bit kernels the upper
32-bits of the 64-bit registers are zeroed out, so a negative 32-bit
signed value will show up as positive 64-bit signed value.
This behaviour breaks the io_pgetevents_time64() syscall which expects
signed 64-bit values for the "min_nr" and "nr" parameters.
Fix this by switching to the compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64() syscall,
which uses "compat_long_t" types for those parameters.

The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures. In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used. Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.
There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it. To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.
On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

__kunmap_ {local,atomic}() currently take pointers to void. However, this
is semantically incorrect, since these functions do not change the memory
their arguments point to.
Therefore, make this semantics explicit by modifying the
__kunmap_{local,atomic}() prototypes to take pointers to const void.
As a side effect, compilers may produce more efficient code.

pci_get_legacy_ide_irq() is only used on platforms that support PNP, so
many architectures define it but never use it. Replace uses of it with
ATA_PRIMARY_IRQ() and ATA_SECONDARY_IRQ(), which provide the same
functionality.
Since pci_get_legacy_ide_irq() is no longer used, remove all the
architecture-specific definitions of it as well as asm-generic/pci.h, which
only provides pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()

Now all the platforms enable ARCH_HAS_GET_PAGE_PROT. They define and
export own vm_get_page_prot() whether custom or standard
DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT. Hence there is no need for default generic
fallback for vm_get_page_prot(). Just drop this fallback and also
ARCH_HAS_GET_PAGE_PROT mechanism.

Some architectures and irqchip drivers modify the cpumask returned by
irq_data_get_affinity_mask, usually by copying in to it. This is
problematic for uniprocessor configurations, where the affinity mask
should be constant, as it is known at compile time.
Add and use a setter for the affinity mask, following the pattern of
irq_data_update_effective_affinity. This allows the getter function to
return a const cpumask pointer.

Addition of vDSO support for parisc in kernel v5.18 suddenly broke glibc
signal testcases on a 32-bit kernel.
The trampoline code (sigtramp.S) which is mapped into userspace includes
an offset to the context data on the stack, which is used by gdb and
glibc to get access to registers.
In a 32-bit kernel we used by mistake the offset into the compat context
(which is valid on a 64-bit kernel only) instead of the offset into the
"native" 32-bit context.

All architecture-independent users of virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt()
have been fixed to use the dma mapping interfaces or have been
removed now. This means the definitions on most architectures, and the
CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS symbol are now obsolete and can be removed.
The only exceptions to this are a few network and scsi drivers for m68k
Amiga and VME machines and ppc32 Macintosh. These drivers work correctly
with the old interfaces and are probably not worth changing.
On alpha and parisc, virt_to_bus() were still used in asm/floppy.h.
alpha can use isa_virt_to_bus() like x86 does, and parisc can just
open-code the virt_to_phys() here, as this is architecture specific
code.
I tried updating the bus-virt-phys-mapping.rst documentation, which
started as an email from Linus to explain some details of the Linux-2.0
driver interfaces. The bits about virt_to_bus() were declared obsolete
backin 2000, and the rest is not all that relevant any more, so in the
end I just decided to remove the file completely.

Anonymous pages are allocated with the shared mappings colouring,
SHM_COLOUR. Since the alias boundary on machines with PA8800 and
PA8900 processors is unknown, flush_user_cache_page() might not
flush all mappings of a shared anonymous page. Flushing the whole
data cache flushes all mappings.
This won't fix all coherency issues with shared mappings but it
seems to work well in practice. I haven't seen any random memory
faults in almost a month on a rp3440 running as a debian buildd
machine.
There is a small preformance hit.

Instead of defaulting to patching NOP opcodes at init time, and leaving
it to the architectures to override this if this is not needed, switch
to a model where doing nothing is the default. This is the common case
by far, as only MIPS requires NOP patching at init time. On all other
architectures, the correct encodings are emitted by the compiler and so
no initial patching is needed.

I observed that for each of the shared file-backed page faults, we're very
likely to retry one more time for the 1st write fault upon no page. It's
because we'll need to release the mmap lock for dirty rate limit purpose
with balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() (in fault_dirty_shared_page()).
Then after that throttling we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.
We did that probably because VM_FAULT_RETRY is the only way we can return
to the fault handler at that time telling it we've released the mmap lock.
However that's not ideal because it's very likely the fault does not need
to be retried at all since the pgtable was well installed before the
throttling, so the next continuous fault (including taking mmap read lock,
walk the pgtable, etc.) could be in most cases unnecessary.
It's not only slowing down page faults for shared file-backed, but also add
more mmap lock contention which is in most cases not needed at all.
To observe this, one could try to write to some shmem page and look at
"pgfault" value in /proc/vmstat, then we should expect 2 counts for each
shmem write simply because we retried, and vm event "pgfault" will capture
that.
To make it more efficient, add a new VM_FAULT_COMPLETED return code just to
show that we've completed the whole fault and released the lock. It's also
a hint that we should very possibly not need another fault immediately on
this page because we've just completed it.
This patch provides a ~12% perf boost on my aarch64 test VM with a simple
program sequentially dirtying 400MB shmem file being mmap()ed and these are
the time it needs:
Before: 650.980 ms (+-1.94%)
After: 569.396 ms (+-1.38%)
I believe it could help more than that.
We need some special care on GUP and the s390 pgfault handler (for gmap
code before returning from pgfault), the rest changes in the page fault
handlers should be relatively straightforward.
Another thing to mention is that mm_account_fault() does take this new
fault as a generic fault to be accounted, unlike VM_FAULT_RETRY.
I explicitly didn't touch hmm_vma_fault() and break_ksm() because they do
not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY even with existing code, so I'm literally keeping
them as-is.

With the kernel 5.18, the system will hang on boot if it is compiled with
CONFIG_SCHED_MC. The last printed message is "Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU".
The crash happens in sd_init
tl->mask (which is cpu_coregroup_mask) returns an empty mask. This happens
because cpu_topology[0].core_sibling is empty.
Consequently, sd_span is set to an empty mask
sd_id = cpumask_first(sd_span) sets sd_id == NR_CPUS (because the mask is
empty)
sd->shared = *per_cpu_ptr(sdd->sds, sd_id); sets sd->shared to NULL
because sd_id is out of range
atomic_inc(&sd->shared->ref); crashes without printing anything
We can fix it by calling reset_cpu_topology() from init_cpu_topology() -
this will initialize the sibling masks on CPUs, so that they're not empty.
This patch also removes the variable "dualcores_found", it is useless,
because during boot, init_cpu_topology is called before
store_cpu_topology. Thus, set_sched_topology(parisc_mc_topology) is never
called. We don't need to call it at all because default_topology in
kernel/sched/topology.c contains the same items as parisc_mc_topology.
Note that we should not call store_cpu_topology() from init_per_cpu()
because it is called too early in the kernel initialization process and it
results in the message "Failure to register CPU0 device". Before this
patch, store_cpu_topology() would exit immediatelly because
cpuid_topo->core id was uninitialized and it was 0.

Parisc overrides 'nm' with a shell script. I was hit by a false-positive
error of $(NM) because this script returns the exit status of grep
instead of ${CROSS_COMPILE}nm. (grep returns 1 if no lines were selected)
I tried to fix it, but in the code review, Helge suggested to remove it
entirely. [1]
This script was added in 2003. [2]
Presumably, it was a workaround for old toolchains (but even the parisc
maintainer does not know the detail any more).
Hopefully, recent tools should work fine.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"These updates continue to refine the work began in 5.17 and 5.18 of
modernizing the RNG's crypto and streamlining and documenting its
code.
New for 5.19, the updates aim to improve entropy collection methods
and make some initial decisions regarding the "premature next" problem
and our threat model. The cloc utility now reports that random.c is
931 lines of code and 466 lines of comments, not that basic metrics
like that mean all that much, but at the very least it tells you that
this is very much a manageable driver now.
Here's a summary of the various updates:
- The random_get_entropy() function now always returns something at
least minimally useful. This is the primary entropy source in most
collectors, which in the best case expands to something like RDTSC,
but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0,
contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired
up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now
have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution
clock available from the timekeeping subsystem.
Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU
not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a
stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive
from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in
the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some
testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it
should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing
I'll be keeping my eye on most closely.
- Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is
MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now
combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the
lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path.
- With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful,
the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent
construction.
- Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the
jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the
amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy
is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing
only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow,
but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness
wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some
degree.
This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(),
should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom
maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again
today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs
that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps
down the road, that's something we can revisit.
- We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system
suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about
suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such
as RDRAND when available.
- Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the
RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the
types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors.
- The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you
in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you
expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid
a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount
of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of
estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next
128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been
fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later
in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the
initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms
like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject().
- The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security
model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have
tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list
thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not
practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the
RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise,
making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the
first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next
issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was
particularly nice.
This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which
is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before,
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a
thread worth skimming through.
- While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago
that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster
mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and
disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still
hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now
redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures.
- Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32
implementation be used right and left, and in many places where
cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched
entropy code is now fast enough to replace that.
- As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For
example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic
constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere.
- Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized
thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that
initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned
off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely
section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG
is ready.
- A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be
initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly
optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made
it possible to remove those functions.
- A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized
/dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage.
Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to
use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users
should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and
the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing.
- The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements
.read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it
to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes
splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other
places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of
a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to
bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems
fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower
than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and
Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in
removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in
general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers.
- Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations.
- A small SipHash cleanup"
