Add a test case for the python interpreter like below so that we can
make sure it won't break again. To validate the effect of build-ID
generation, it adds and removes the JIT'ed DSOs to/from the build-ID
cache for the test.

It was reported that python backtrace with JIT dump was broken after the
change to built-in SHA-1 implementation. It seems python generates the
same JIT code for each function. They will become separate DSOs but the
contents are the same. Only difference is in the symbol name.
But this caused a problem that every JIT'ed DSOs will have the same
build-ID which makes perf confused. And it resulted in no python
symbols (from JIT) in the output.
Looking back at the original code before the conversion, it used the
load_addr as well as the code section to distinguish each DSO. But it'd
be better to use contents of symtab and strtab instead as it aligns with
some linker behaviors.
This patch adds a buffer to save all the contents in a single place for
SHA-1 calculation. Probably we need to add sha1_update() or similar to
update the existing hash value with different contents and use it here.
But it's out of scope for this change and I'd like something that can be
backported to the stable trees easily.

The mem-loads-aux event exists on hybrid systems but the "cpu" PMU
does not. This causes an event parsing error which erroneously makes
the test look like it is failing. Avoid naming the PMU to avoid
this. Rather than cleaning up perf.data in the directory the test is
run, explicitly send the 'perf record' output to /dev/null and avoid
any cleanup scripts.

Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen:
"The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
(LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the
upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually
recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.
This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).
There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an
under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf
so more feature can be packed in there.
Summary:
- Enable Linear Address Space Separation (LASS)
- Change X86_FEATURE leaf 17 from an AMD leaf to Linux-defined"

VMWARE correctly enumerates lack of APERF and MPERF in CPUID,
but turbostat didn't consult that before attempting to access them.
Since VMWARE allows access, but always returns 0, turbostat

In err_on_hypervisor(), strstr() is called to search for "flags" in the
buffer, but the return value is not checked before being used in pointer
arithmetic (flags - buffer). If strstr() returns NULL because "flags" is
not found in /proc/cpuinfo, this will cause undefined behavior and likely
a crash.

by cleaning up resources and reporting a meaningful error message.

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.19
- Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts (SEAs),
allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a non-fatal

Add a CPUID testcase to verify that KVM allows KVM_SET_CPUID2 after (or in

introduced by commit 93da6af3ae56 ("KVM: x86: Defer runtime updates of
dynamic CPUID bits until CPUID emulation"), where KVM would incorrectly
reject KVM_SET_CPUID due to a not handling a pending runtime update on the
current CPUID, resulting in a false mismatch between the "old" and "new"
CPUID entries.

On an allmodconfig kernel compiled with Clang, objtool is segfaulting in
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.o due to a stack overflow in
validate_branch().
Due in part to KASAN being enabled, the qla2xxx code has a large number
of conditional jumps, causing objtool to go quite deep in its recursion.
By far the biggest offender of stack usage is the recently added
'prev_state' stack variable in validate_insn(), coming in at 328 bytes.
Move that variable (and its tracing usage) to handle_insn_ops() and make
handle_insn_ops() noinline to keep its stack frame outside the recursive
call chain.

ASoC: Updates for v6.19
This is a very large set of updates, as well as some more extensive
cleanup work from Morimto-san we've also added a generic SCDA class
driver for SoundWire devices enabling us to support many chips with
no custom code. There's also a batch of new drivers added for both
SoCs and CODECs.
- Added a SoundWire SCDA generic class driver, pulling in a little
regmap work to support it.
- A *lot* of cleaup and API improvement work from Morimoto-san.
- Lots of work on the existing Cirrus, Intel, Maxim and Qualcomm
drivers.
- Support for Allwinner A523, Mediatek MT8189, Qualcomm QCM2290,
QRB2210 and SM6115, SpacemiT K1, and TI TAS2568, TAS5802, TAS5806,
TAS5815, TAS5828 and TAS5830.
This also pulls in some gpiolib changes supporting shared GPIOs in the
core there so we can convert some of the ASoC drivers open coding
handling of that to the core functionality.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
(Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
specials such as alternatives:

Currently, tolerance is computed against the TC’s expected percentage,
making TC3 (20%) validation overly strict and TC4 (80%) overly loose.
Update BandwidthValidator to take a dict of shares and compute bounds
relative to the overall total, so that all shares are validated
consistently.

Commit 7c32f7a2d3db ("selftests: net: py: don't default to shell=True")
changed the cmd() helper to avoid spawning a shell unless explicitly
requested.
The devlink_rate_tc_bw test enables SR-IOV by writing to the
sriov_numvfs sysfs attribute using redirection. Without shell=True the
redirection is not interpreted and the VF device never appears,
causing the test to fail.
Fix by explicitly passing shell=True in the two places that update
sriov_numvfs.

GenerateTraffic was added to spin up long-running iperf3 load, mainly
to drive high PPS background traffic. It was never meant to provide
stable throughput numbers, and trying to repurpose it for measurement
does not make sense.
Introduce Iperf3Runner to allow tests to split out server/client
configuration, control start/stop, and collect JSON output for
analysis. This makes it possible to measure bandwidth directly when
validating egress shaping.
GenerateTraffic stays as the background load generator, reusing the
common iperf3 helpers under the hood.

New NIPA installation had been reporting a few flaky tests.
arp_ndisc_evict_nocarrier is most flaky of them all.
I suspect that the flakiness is due to udev swapping the MAC
addresses on the interfaces. Extend the message in
arp_ndisc_evict_nocarrier to hint at this potential issue.
Having the neigh get fail right after ping is rather unusual,
unless udev changes the MAC addr causing a flush in the meantime.

Pull pidfd and coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Expose coredump signal via pidfd
Expose the signal that caused the coredump through the pidfd
interface. The recent changes to rework coredump handling to rely
on unix sockets are in the process of being used in systemd. The
previous systemd coredump container interface requires the coredump
file descriptor and basic information including the signal number
to be sent to the container. This means the signal number needs to
be available before sending the coredump to the container.
- Add supported_mask field to pidfd
Add a new supported_mask field to struct pidfd_info that indicates
which information fields are supported by the running kernel. This
allows userspace to detect feature availability without relying on
error codes or kernel version checks.
Cleanups:
- Drop struct pidfs_exit_info and prepare to drop exit_info pointer,
simplifying the internal publication mechanism for exit and
coredump information retrievable via the pidfd ioctl
- Use guard() for task_lock in pidfs
- Reduce wait_pidfd lock scope
- Add missing PIDFD_INFO_SIZE_VER1 constant
- Add missing BUILD_BUG_ON() assert on struct pidfd_info
Fixes:
- Fix PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP handling
Selftests:
- Split out coredump socket tests and common helpers into separate
files for better organization
- Fix userspace coredump client detection issues
- Handle edge-triggered epoll correctly
- Ignore ENOSPC errors in tests
- Add debug logging to coredump socket tests, socket protocol tests,
and test helpers
- Add tests for PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP_SIGNAL
- Add tests for supported_mask field
- Update pidfd header for selftests"

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 const
- Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
- Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
- nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
- pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
- libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
- cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
- nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()
Fixes:
- setns(pidfd, ...) race condition
Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.
The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.
- Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success
- Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
reference)
- Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
namespace
- Add asserts for active refcount underflow
- Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
and active)
- ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions
- Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions
- Selftests
- 15 active reference count tests
- 9 listns() functionality tests
- 7 listns() permission tests
- 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
- 3 threaded active reference count tests
- commit_creds() active reference tests
- Pagination and stress tests
- EFAULT handling test
- nsid tests fixes"
