Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Support caching symlink lengths in inodes
The size is stored in a new union utilizing the same space as
i_devices, thus avoiding growing the struct or taking up any more
space
When utilized it dodges strlen() in vfs_readlink(), giving about
1.5% speed up when issuing readlink on /initrd.img on ext4
- Add RWF_DONTCACHE iocb and FOP_DONTCACHE file_operations flag
If a file system supports uncached buffered IO, it may set
FOP_DONTCACHE and enable support for RWF_DONTCACHE.
If RWF_DONTCACHE is attempted without the file system supporting
it, it'll get errored with -EOPNOTSUPP
- Enable VBOXGUEST and VBOXSF_FS on ARM64
Now that VirtualBox is able to run as a host on arm64 (e.g. the
Apple M3 processors) we can enable VBOXSF_FS (and in turn
VBOXGUEST) for this architecture.
Tested with various runs of bonnie++ and dbench on an Apple MacBook
Pro with the latest Virtualbox 7.1.4 r165100 installed
Cleanups:
- Delay sysctl_nr_open check in expand_files()
- Use kernel-doc includes in fiemap docbook
- Use page->private instead of page->index in watch_queue
- Use a consume fence in mnt_idmap() as it's heavily used in
link_path_walk()
- Replace magic number 7 with ARRAY_SIZE() in fc_log
- Sort out a stale comment about races between fd alloc and dup2()
- Fix return type of do_mount() from long to int
- Various cosmetic cleanups for the lockref code
Fixes:
- Annotate spinning as unlikely() in __read_seqcount_begin
The annotation already used to be there, but got lost in commit
52ac39e5db51 ("seqlock: seqcount_t: Implement all read APIs as
statement expressions")
- Fix proc_handler for sysctl_nr_open
- Flush delayed work in delayed fput()
- Fix grammar and spelling in propagate_umount()
- Fix ESP not readable during coredump
In /proc/PID/stat, there is the kstkesp field which is the stack
pointer of a thread. While the thread is active, this field reads
zero. But during a coredump, it should have a valid value
However, at the moment, kstkesp is zero even during coredump
- Don't wake up the writer if the pipe is still full
- Fix unbalanced user_access_end() in select code"

Pull vfs netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains read performance improvements and support for monolithic
single-blob objects that have to be read/written as such (e.g. AFS
directory contents). The implementation of the two parts is interwoven
as each makes the other possible.
- Read performance improvements
The read performance improvements are intended to speed up some
loss of performance detected in cifs and to a lesser extend in afs.
The problem is that we queue too many work items during the
collection of read results: each individual subrequest is collected
by its own work item, and then they have to interact with each
other when a series of subrequests don't exactly align with the
pattern of folios that are being read by the overall request.
Whilst the processing of the pages covered by individual
subrequests as they complete potentially allows folios to be woken
in parallel and with minimum delay, it can shuffle wakeups for
sequential reads out of order - and that is the most common I/O
pattern.
The final assessment and cleanup of an operation is then held up
until the last I/O completes - and for a synchronous sequential
operation, this means the bouncing around of work items just adds
latency.
Two changes have been made to make this work:
(1) All collection is now done in a single "work item" that works
progressively through the subrequests as they complete (and
also dispatches retries as necessary).
(2) For readahead and AIO, this work item be done on a workqueue
and can run in parallel with the ultimate consumer of the data;
for synchronous direct or unbuffered reads, the collection is
run in the application thread and not offloaded.
Functions such as smb2_readv_callback() then just tell netfslib
that the subrequest has terminated; netfslib does a minimal bit of
processing on the spot - stat counting and tracing mostly - and
then queues/wakes up the worker. This simplifies the logic as the
collector just walks sequentially through the subrequests as they
complete and walks through the folios, if buffered, unlocking them
as it goes. It also keeps to a minimum the amount of latency
injected into the filesystem's low-level I/O handling
The way netfs supports filesystems using the deprecated
PG_private_2 flag is changed: folios are flagged and added to a
write request as they complete and that takes care of scheduling
the writes to the cache. The originating read request can then just
unlock the pages whatever happens.
- Single-blob object support
Single-blob objects are files for which the content of the file
must be read from or written to the server in a single operation
because reading them in parts may yield inconsistent results. AFS
directories are an example of this as there exists the possibility
that the contents are generated on the fly and would differ between
reads or might change due to third party interference.
Such objects will be written to and retrieved from the cache if one
is present, though we allow/may need to propose multiple
subrequests to do so. The important part is that read from/write to
the *server* is monolithic.
Single blob reading is, for the moment, fully synchronous and does
result collection in the application thread and, also for the
moment, the API is supplied the buffer in the form of a folio_queue
chain rather than using the pagecache.
- Related afs changes
This series makes a number of changes to the kafs filesystem,
primarily in the area of directory handling:
- AFS's FetchData RPC reply processing is made partially
asynchronous which allows the netfs_io_request's outstanding
operation counter to be removed as part of reducing the
collection to a single work item.
- Directory and symlink reading are plumbed through netfslib using
the single-blob object API and are now cacheable with fscache.
This also allows the afs_read struct to be eliminated and
netfs_io_subrequest to be used directly instead.
- Directory and symlink content are now stored in a folio_queue
buffer rather than in the pagecache. This means we don't require
the RCU read lock and xarray iteration to access it, and folios
won't randomly disappear under us because the VM wants them
back.
- The vnode operation lock is changed from a mutex struct to a
private lock implementation. The problem is that the lock now
needs to be dropped in a separate thread and mutexes don't
permit that.
- When a new directory or symlink is created, we now initialise it
locally and mark it valid rather than downloading it (we know
what it's likely to look like).
- We now use the in-directory hashtable to reduce the number of
entries we need to scan when doing a lookup. The edit routines
have to maintain the hash chains.
- Cancellation (e.g. by signal) of an async call after the
rxrpc_call has been set up is now offloaded to the worker thread
as there will be a notification from rxrpc upon completion. This
avoids a double cleanup.
- A "rolling buffer" implementation is created to abstract out the
two separate folio_queue chaining implementations I had (one for
read and one for write).
- Functions are provided to create/extend a buffer in a folio_queue
chain and tear it down again.
This is used to handle AFS directories, but could also be used to
create bounce buffers for content crypto and transport crypto.
- The was_async argument is dropped from netfs_read_subreq_terminated()
Instead we wake the read collection work item by either queuing it
or waking up the app thread.
- We don't need to use BH-excluding locks when communicating between
the issuing thread and the collection thread as neither of them now
run in BH context.
- Also included are a number of new tracepoints; a split of the
netfslib write collection code to put retrying into its own file
(it gets more complicated with content encryption).
- There are also some minor fixes AFS included, including fixing the
AFS directory format struct layout, reducing some directory
over-invalidation and making afs_mkdir() translate EEXIST to
ENOTEMPY (which is not available on all systems the servers
support).
- Finally, there's a patch to try and detect entry into the folio
unlock function with no folio_queue structs in the buffer (which
isn't allowed in the cases that can get there).
This is a debugging patch, but should be minimal overhead"

This merges the vsnprintf internal cleanups I did, which were triggered
by a combination of performance issues (see for example commit
f9ed1f7c2e26: "genirq/proc: Use seq_put_decimal_ull_width() for decimal
values") and discussion about tracing abusing the vsnprintf code in odd
ways.
The intent was to improve code generation, but also to possibly
eventually expose the cleaned-up printf format decoding state machine.
It certainly didn't get to the point where we'd want to expose the
format decoding to external users, but it's an improvement over what we
used to have. Several of the complex case statements have been
simplified, or removed entirely to be replaced by simple table lookups.

vsnprintf: fix the number base for non-numeric formats
vsnprintf: fix up kerneldoc for argument name changes
vsprintf: don't make the 'binary' version pack small integer arguments
vsnprintf: collapse the number format state into one single state

Commit 8d4826cc8a8a ("vsnprintf: collapse the number format state into
one single state") changed the format specification decoding to be a bit
more straightforward but in the process ended up also resetting the
number base to zero for formats that aren't clearly numerical.
Now, the number base obviously doesn't matter for something like '%s',
so this wasn't all that obvious. But some of our specialized pointer
extension formatting (ie, things like "print out IPv6 address") did up
depending on the default base-10 setting, and when they then tried to
print out numbers in "base zero", things didn't work out so well.
Most pointer formatting (including things like the default raw hex value
conversion) didn't have this issue, because they used helpers that
explicitly set the base.

Stephen Rothwell reports that I missed fixing up the documentation when
the argument names changed in commit 938df695e98d ("vsprintf: associate
the format state with the format pointer"), resulting in htmldoc
warnings like
lib/vsprintf.c:2760: warning: Function parameter or struct member 'fmt_str' not described in 'vsnprintf'
lib/vsprintf.c:2760: warning: Excess function parameter 'fmt' description in 'vsnprintf'
...
which I didn't notice because the doc build takes longer than the whole
"real" kernel build for me, so I never bother (and judging by the other
warnings, pretty much nobody else does either).
I guess the bigger issues won't be fixed until the doc build is much
faster (narrator: "That isn's in the cards") but at least linux-next
finds the new cases.

Change the LONG_MAX in simple_offset_add to 1024, and do latter:
[root@fedora ~]# mkdir /tmp/dir
[root@fedora ~]# for i in {1..1024}; do touch /tmp/dir/$i; done
touch: cannot touch '/tmp/dir/1024': Device or resource busy

[root@fedora ~]# rm /tmp/dir/100
[root@fedora ~]# touch /tmp/dir/1025
touch: cannot touch '/tmp/dir/1025': Device or resource busy
After we delete file 100, actually this is a empty entry, but the latter
create failed unexpected.
mas_alloc_cyclic has two chance to find empty entry. First find the entry
with range range_lo and range_hi, if no empty entry exist, and range_lo >
min, retry find with range min and range_hi. However, the first call
mas_empty_area may mark mas as EBUSY, and the second call for
mas_empty_area will return false directly. Fix this by reload mas before
second call for mas_empty_area.

The strange vbin_printf / bstr_printf interface used to save one- and
two-byte printf numerical arguments into their packed format.
That's more than a bit strange since the argument buffer is supposed to
be an array of 'u32' words, and it's also very different from how the
source of the data (varargs) work - which always do the normal integer
type conversions, so 'char' and 'short' are always passed as int-sized
anyway.
This odd packing causes extra code complexity, and it really isn't worth
it, since the space savings are simply not there: it only happens for
formats like '%hd' (short) and '%hhd' (char), which are very rare
indeed.
In fact, the only other user of this interface seems to be the bpf
helper code (bpf_bprintf_prepare()), and Alexei points out that that
case doesn't support those truncated integer formatting options at all
in the first place.
As a result, bpf_bprintf_prepare() doesn't need any changes for this,
and TRACE_BPRINT uses 'vbin_printf()' -> 'bstr_printf()' for the
formatting and hopefully doesn't expose the odd packing any other way
(knock wood).

We'll squirrel away the size of the number in 'struct fmt' instead.
We have two fairly separate state structures: the 'decode state' is in
'struct fmt', while the 'printout format' is in 'printf_spec'. Both
structures are small enough to pass around in registers even across
function boundaries (ie two words), even on 32-bit machines.
The goal here is to avoid the case statements on the format states,
which generate either deep conditionals or jump tables, while also
keeping the state size manageable.

At some point skip_atoi() had been marked 'noinline_for_stack', but it
turns out that this is now a pessimization, and not inlining it actually
results in a stack frame in format decoding due to the call and thus
hurts stack usage rather than helping.
With the simplistic atoi function inlined, the format decoding now needs
no frame at all.

We did the flags as an array earlier, they had simpler rules. The final
format specifiers are a bit more complex since they have more fields to
deal with, and we want to handle the length modifiers at the same time.
But like the flags, we're better off just making it a data-driven table
rather than some case statement.

The vsnprintf() code is written as a state machine as it walks the
format pointer, but for various historical reasons the state is oddly
named and was encoded as the 'type' field in the 'struct printf_spec'.
That naming came from the fact that the states used to not just encode
the state of the state machine, but also the various integer types that
would then be printed out.
Let's make the state machine more obvious, and actually call it 'state',
and associate it with the format pointer itself, rather than the
'printf_spec' that contains the currently decoded formatting specs.
This also removes the bit packing from printf_spec, which makes it much
easier on the compiler.

Every single caller wants to know what the next format location is, but
instead the function returned the length of the processed part and so
every single return statement in the format_decode() function was
instead subtracting the start of the format string.
The callers that that did want to know the length (in addition to the
end of the format processing) already had to save off the start of the
format string anyway. So this was all just doing extra processing both
on the caller and callee sides.
Just change the calling convention to return the end of the format
processing, making everything simpler (and preparing for yet more
simplification to come).

Now that we have simplified the number format types, the top-level
switch table can easily just handle all the remaining cases, and we
don't need to have a case statement with a conditional on the same
expression as the switch statement.
We do want to fall through to the common 'number()' case, but that's
trivially done by making the other case statements use 'continue'
instead of 'break'. They are just looping back to the top, after all.

vm_module_tags_populate() calculation of the populated area assumes that
area starts at a page boundary and therefore when new pages are allocation,
the end of the area is page-aligned as well. If the start of the area is
not page-aligned then allocating a page and incrementing the end of the
area by PAGE_SIZE leads to an area at the end but within the area boundary
which is not populated. Accessing this are will lead to a kernel panic.
Fix the calculation by down-aligning the start of the area and using that
as the location allocated pages are mapped to.

The never-taken branch leads to an invalid bounds condition, which is by
design. To avoid the unwanted warning from the compiler, hide the

Current solution to adjust codetag references during page migration is
done in 3 steps:
1. sets the codetag reference of the old page as empty (not pointing
to any codetag);
2. subtracts counters of the new page to compensate for its own
allocation;
3. sets codetag reference of the new page to point to the codetag of
the old page.
This does not work if CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n because
set_codetag_empty() becomes NOOP. Instead, let's simply swap codetag
references so that the new page is referencing the old codetag and the old
page is referencing the new codetag. This way accounting stays valid and
the logic makes more sense.

Per documentation, stack_depot_save_flags() was meant to be usable from
NMI context if STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_CAN_ALLOC is unset. However, it still
would try to take the pool_lock in an attempt to save a stack trace in the
current pool (if space is available).
This could result in deadlock if an NMI is handled while pool_lock is
already held. To avoid deadlock, only try to take the lock in NMI context
and give up if unsuccessful.
The documentation is fixed to clearly convey this.

Pull bprintf() removal from Steven Rostedt:
- Remove unused bprintf() function, that was added with the rest of the
"bin-printf" functions.
These are functions that are used by trace_printk() that allows to
quickly save the format and arguments into the ring buffer without
the expensive processing of converting numbers to ASCII. Then on
output, at a much later time, the ring buffer is read and the string
processing occurs then. The bprintf() was added for consistency but
was never used. It can be safely removed.

The point behind strscpy() was to once and for all avoid all the
problems with 'strncpy()' and later broken "fixed" versions like
strlcpy() that just made things worse.
So strscpy not only guarantees NUL-termination (unlike strncpy), it also
doesn't do unnecessary padding at the destination. But at the same time
also avoids byte-at-a-time reads and writes by _allowing_ some extra NUL
writes - within the size, of course - so that the whole copy can be done
with word operations.
It is also stable in the face of a mutable source string: it explicitly
does not read the source buffer multiple times (so an implementation
using "strnlen()+memcpy()" would be wrong), and does not read the source
buffer past the size (like the mis-design that is strlcpy does).
Finally, the return value is designed to be simple and unambiguous: if
the string cannot be copied fully, it returns an actual negative error,
making error handling clearer and simpler (and the caller already knows
the size of the buffer). Otherwise it returns the string length of the
result.
However, there was one final stability issue that can be important to
callers: the stability of the destination buffer.
In particular, the same way we shouldn't read the source buffer more
than once, we should avoid doing multiple writes to the destination
buffer: first writing a potentially non-terminated string, and then
terminating it with NUL at the end does not result in a stable result
buffer.
Yes, it gives the right result in the end, but if the rule for the
destination buffer was that it is _always_ NUL-terminated even when
accessed concurrently with updates, the final byte of the buffer needs
to always _stay_ as a NUL byte.
[ Note that "final byte is NUL" here is literally about the final byte
in the destination array, not the terminating NUL at the end of the
string itself. There is no attempt to try to make concurrent reads and
writes give any kind of consistent string length or contents, but we
do want to guarantee that there is always at least that final
terminating NUL character at the end of the destination array if it
existed before ]
This is relevant in the kernel for the tsk->comm[] array, for example.
Even without locking (for either readers or writers), we want to know
that while the buffer contents may be garbled, it is always a valid C
string and always has a NUL character at 'comm[TASK_COMM_LEN-1]' (and
never has any "out of thin air" data).
So avoid any "copy possibly non-terminated string, and terminate later"
behavior, and write the destination buffer only once.

bprintf() is unused. Remove it. It was added in the commit 4370aa4aa753

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
- The whole caching of module code into huge pages by Mike Rapoport is
going in through Andrew Morton's tree due to some other code
dependencies. That's really the biggest highlight for Linux kernel
modules in this release. With it we share huge pages for modules,
starting off with x86. Expect to see that soon through Andrew!
- Helge Deller addressed some lingering low hanging fruit alignment
enhancements by. It is worth pointing out that from his old patch
series I dropped his vmlinux.lds.h change at Masahiro's request as he
would prefer this to be specified in asm code [0].

- Matthew Maurer and Sami Tolvanen have been tag teaming to help get us
closer to a modversions for Rust. In this cycle we take in quite a
lot of the refactoring for ELF validation. I expect modversions for
Rust will be merged by v6.14 as that code is mostly ready now.
- Adds a new modules selftests: kallsyms which helps us tests
find_symbol() and the limits of kallsyms on Linux today.
- We have a realtime mailing list to kernel-ci testing for modules now
which relies and combines patchwork, kpd and kdevops:

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.
Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
a more reliable replacement for the latter.
Core:
- Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
- RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
- introduce basic per netns locking helpers
- namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
- remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
rtnl_register_many()
- refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
possible out of RTNL lock
- convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
- convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
- convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.
- Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.
- Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
handling consistent and reliable.
- Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
better introspection in case of packets drop.
- Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.
- Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.
- Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
and timestamps
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
size.
- Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
implementation.
Netfilter:
- Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption
- Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.
- Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.
- Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
improvements.
BPF:
- Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.
- Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
combination with BPF cpumap.
- Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.
- Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority}
scrubbing to its BPF program.
- Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
programs.
Protocols:
- Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
significantly connected sockets lookup.
- Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
close, the socket lock contention.
- Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
lookups.
- Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
risks on loosing them.
- Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
device neigh lists.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.
- Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.
- Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.
- Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.
- Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
offload.
- Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
device-specific entries.
- Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.
- Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.
Tests and tooling:
- forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
phase
Drivers:
- Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
introspection.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:
- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
time rules.
Cure this by:
- Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
always valid container_of() now.
- Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
- Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
- Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
delivery code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
scenarios finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
attributes are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
- Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
- Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
defines.
- Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
- Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
and fix up stale documentation links all over the place
- Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
straight forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
- Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
other clusters.
- Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

Pull debugobjects updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Prevent destroying the kmem_cache on early failure.
Destroying a kmem_cache requires work queues to be set up, but in the
early failure case they are not yet initializated. So rather leak the
cache instead of triggering a BUG.
- Reduce parallel pool fill attempts.
Refilling the object pool requires to take the global pool lock,
which causes a massive performance issue when a large number of CPUs
attempt to refill concurrently. It turns out that it's sufficient to
let one CPU handle the refill from the to free list and in case there
are not enough objects on it to allocate new objects from the kmem
cache.
This also splits the free list handling from the actual allocation
path as that yields better results on RT where allocation is
restricted to preemptible code paths. The refill from free list has
no such restrictions.
- Consolidate the global and the per CPU pools to use the same data
structure, so all helper functions can be shared.
- Simplify the object allocation/free logic.
The allocation/free logic is an incomprehensible maze, which tries to
utilize the to free list and the global pool in the best way. This
all can be simplified into a straight forward comprehensible code
flow.
- Convert the allocation/free mechanism to batch mode.
Transferring objects from the global pool to the per CPU pools or
vice versa is done by walking the hlist and moving object by object.
That not only increases the pool lock held time, it also dirties up
to 17 cache lines.
This can be avoided by storing the pointer to the first object in a
batch of 16 objects in the objects themself and propagate it through
the batch when an object is enqueued into a pool or to a temporary
hlist head on allocation.
This allows to move batches of objects with at max four cache lines
dirtied and reduces the pool lock held time and therefore contention
significantly.
- Improve the object reusage
The current implementation is too agressively freeing unused objects,
which is counterproductive on bursty workloads like a kernel compile.
Address this by:
* increasing the per CPU pool size
* refilling the per CPU pool from the to be freed pool when the
per CPU pool emptied a batch
* keeping track of object usage with a exponentially wheighted
moving average which prevents the work queue callback to free
objects prematuraly.
This combined reduces the allocation/free rate for a full kernel
compile significantly:
kmem_cache_alloc() kmem_cache_free()
Baseline: 380k 330k
Improved: 170k 117k
- A few cleanups and a more cache line friendly layout of debug
information on top.

The alloc_string_stream() function only returns ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on
failure and never returns NULL. Therefore, switching the error check in
the caller from IS_ERR_OR_NULL to IS_ERR improves clarity, indicating
that this function will return an error pointer (not NULL) when an
error occurs. This change avoids any ambiguity regarding the function's
return behavior.
