Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko)
   fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c

 - "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight)
   enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up
   the test module for these library functions

 - "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB" (Ilya Leoshkevich)
   makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB
   debugger

 - "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on demand" (Feng Tang)
   adds a sysctl which can be used to cause additional info dumping when
   the hung-task and lockup detectors fire

 - "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users" (Kuan-Wei Chiu)
   adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/ and migrates several
   users away from their private implementations

 - "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" (Eric Dumazet)
   makes TCP a little faster

 - "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin)
   reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update
   Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients

 - "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
   increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

 - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
   is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
   cover letter:

      This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
      subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
      kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
      environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
      downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
      preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
      devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

      As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
      memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
      as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
      RAM across the kexec reboot.

   Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
   testing work.

 - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
   moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
   /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
   hopefully be removed one day

 - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
   fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
   regions

<title>selftests/mm: add test for invalid multi VMA operations</title>

<id>urn:sha1:742d3663a5775cb7b957f4ca2ddb4ccd26badb94</id>
<content type='text'>
We can use UFFD to easily assert invalid multi VMA moves, so do so,
asserting expected behaviour when VMAs invalid for a multi VMA operation
are encountered.

We assert both that such operations are not permitted, and that we do not
even attempt to move the first VMA under these circumstances.

We also assert that we can still move a single VMA regardless.

We then assert that a partial failure can occur if the invalid VMA appears
later in the range of multiple VMAs, both at the very next VMA, and also at
the end of the range.

As part of this change, we are using the is_range_valid() helper more
aggressively. Therefore, fix a bug where stale buffered data would hang
around on success, causing subsequent calls to is_range_valid() to
potentially give invalid results.

We simply have to fflush() the stream on success to resolve this issue.

Check that moving a range of VMAs where we are offset into the first and
last VMAs works correctly.

This results in the VMAs being split at these points at which we are offset
into VMAs.

We explicitly test both the ordinary MREMAP_FIXED multi VMA move case and
the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP multi VMA move case.

We support MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED | MREMAP_DONTUNMAP for moving
multiple VMAs via mremap(), so assert that the tests pass with both
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP set and not set.

Additionally, add success = false settings when mremap() fails.  This is
something that cannot realistically happen, so in no way impacted test
outcome, but it is incorrect to indicate a test pass when something has
failed.

<id>urn:sha1:10aed7dac451850a8e18128ee90222ab67d8a7e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "tools/testing: expand mremap testing".

Expand our mremap() testing to further assert that behaviour is as
expected.

There is a poorly documented mremap() feature whereby it is possible to
mremap() multiple VMAs (even with gaps) when shrinking, as long as the
resultant shrunk range spans only a single VMA.

So we start by asserting this behaviour functions correctly both with an
in-place shrink and a shrink/move.

Next, we further test the newly introduced ability to mremap() multiple
VMAs when performing a MAP_FIXED move (that is without the size being
changed), firstly by asserting that MREMAP_DONTUNMAP has no bearing on
this behaviour.

Finally, we explicitly test that such moves, when splitting source VMAs,
function correctly.


This patch (of 3):

There is an apparently little-known feature of mremap() whereby, in stark
contrast to other modes (other than the recently introduced capacity to
move multiple VMAs), the input source range span multiple VMAs with gaps
between.

This is, when shrinking a VMA, whether moving it or not, and the shrink
would reduce the range to a single VMA - this is permitted, as the shrink
is actioned by an unmap.

This patch adds tests to assert that this behaves as expected.

Now that we have added the ability to move multiple VMAs at once, assert
that this functions correctly, both overwriting VMAs and moving backwards
and forwards with merge and VMA invalidation.

Additionally assert that page tables are correctly propagated by setting
random data and reading it back.
