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

<id>urn:sha1:e6fbd1759c9ece5044d3470f30a5e2166dc9de89</id>
<content type='text'>
This follow-up patch completes centralization of kselftest.h and
ksefltest_harness.h includes in remaining seltests files, replacing all
relative paths with a non-relative paths using shared -I include path in
lib.mk

Tested with gcc-13.3 and clang-18.1, and cross-compiled successfully on
riscv, arm64, x86_64 and powerpc arch.

<title>selftests/x86: Update the negative vsyscall tests to expect a #GP</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c9129cf0f0447cdf195df0c79b87940f266d3767</id>
<content type='text'>
Some of the vsyscall selftests expect a #PF when vsyscalls are disabled.
However, with LASS enabled, an invalid access results in a SIGSEGV due
to a #GP instead of a #PF. One such negative test fails because it is
expecting X86_PF_INSTR to be set.

Update the failing test to expect either a #GP or a #PF. Also, update
the printed messages to show the trap number (denoting the type of
fault) instead of assuming a #PF.

<title>selftests/x86: Consolidate redundant signal helper functions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dbd6b649e7d5b66c7fa95a65d67b59cf5b45f0ac</id>
<content type='text'>
The x86 selftests frequently register and clean up signal handlers, but
the sethandler() and clearhandler() functions have been redundantly
copied across multiple .c files.

Move these functions to helpers.h to enable reuse across tests,
eliminating around 250 lines of duplicate code.

Converge the error handling by using ksft_exit_fail_msg(), which is
functionally equivalent with err() within the selftest framework.

This change is a prerequisite for the upcoming xstate selftest, which
requires signal handling for registering and cleaning up handlers.

<title>selftests/x86: remove (or use) unused variables and functions</title>

<content type='text'>
When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...quite a few functions are variables are generating "unused" warnings.
Fix the warnings by deleting the unused items.

One item, the "nerrs" variable in vsdo_restorer.c's main(), is unused
but probably wants to be returned from main(), as a non-zero result.
That result is also unused right now, so another option would be to
delete it entirely, but this way, main() also gets fixed. It was missing
a return value.

Conform the layout, informational and status messages to TAP. No
functional change is intended other than the layout of output messages.
Add more logic code to skip the tests if particular configuration isn't
available to make sure that either we skip each test or mark it pass/fail.

<content type='text'>
There are multiple #ifdef blocks inside functions where they return just
0 if #ifdef is false. This makes number of tests counting difficult.
Move those functions inside one #ifdef block and move all of them
together. This is preparatory patch for next patch to convert this into
TAP format. So in this patch, we are just moving functions around
without any changes.

With and without this patch, the output of this patch is same.
