Introduce the capability to dynamically configure the max pages limit
(FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES) through a sysctl. This allows system administrators
to dynamically set the maximum number of pages that can be used for
servicing requests in fuse.
Previously, this is gated by FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES which is statically set
to 256 pages. One result of this is that the buffer size for a write
request is limited to 1 MiB on a 4k-page system.
The default value for this sysctl is the original limit (256 pages).
$ sysctl -a | grep max_pages_limit
fs.fuse.max_pages_limit = 256
$ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit
256
$ echo 1024 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit
1024
$ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit

Commit 681ce8623567 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when deleting a
file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the associated dentry when a
file is removed. However, this led to performance regressions in specific
benchmarks, such as ilebench.sum_operations/s [0], prompting a revert in
commit 4a4be1ad3a6e ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file"").
This patch seeks to reintroduce the concept conditionally, where the
associated dentry is deleted only when the user explicitly opts for it
during file removal. A new sysctl fs.automated_deletion_of_dentry is
added for this purpose. Its default value is set to 0.
There are practical use cases for this proactive dentry reclamation.
Besides the Elasticsearch use case mentioned in commit 681ce8623567,
additional examples have surfaced in our production environment. For
instance, in video rendering services that continuously generate temporary
files, upload them to persistent storage servers, and then delete them, a
large number of negative dentries—serving no useful purpose—accumulate.
Users in such cases would benefit from proactively reclaiming these
negative dentries.

This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.
The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120 224 260 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1 23 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS
Deployment and structure
------------------------
The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net":
- bpf_jit.h -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide
- bpf_jit_core.c -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream
- bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic
The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance
to the whole process. Normally, the translation is done in one pass,
namely the "normal pass". In case some relocations are not known during
this pass, some data (arc_jit_data) is allocated for the next pass to
come. This possible next (and last) pass is called the "extra pass".
1. Normal pass # The necessary pass
1a. Dry run # Get the whole JIT length, epilogue offset, etc.
1b. Emit phase # Allocate memory and start emitting instructions
2. Extra pass # Only needed if there are relocations to be fixed
2a. Patch relocations
Support status
--------------
The JIT compiler supports BPF instructions up to "cpu=v4". However, it
does not yet provide support for:
- Tail calls
- Atomic operations
- 64-bit division/remainder
- BPF_PROBE_MEM* (exception table)
The result of "test_bpf" test suite on an HSDK board is:
hsdk-lnx# insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf
test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]
All the failing test cases are due to the ones that were not JIT'ed.
Categorically, they can be represented as:
.-----------.------------.-------------.
| test type | opcodes | # of cases |
|-----------+------------+-------------|
| atomic | 0xC3, 0xDB | 149 |
| div64 | 0x37, 0x3F | 22 |
| mod64 | 0x97, 0x9F | 15 |
`-----------^------------+-------------|
| (total) 186 |
`-------------'
Setup: build config
-------------------
The following configs must be set to have a working JIT test:
CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m
The following options are not necessary for the tests module,
but are good to have:
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y # prerequisite for below
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y # so bpftool can generate vmlinux.h
CONFIG_FTRACE=y #
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y # all these options lead to
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y # having CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y #
Some BPF programs provide data through /sys/kernel/debug:
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
arc# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
Setup: elfutils
---------------
The libdw.{so,a} library that is used by pahole for processing
the final binary must come from elfutils 0.189 or newer. The
support for ARCv2 [1] has been added since that version.
[1]
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commit;h=de3d46b3e7
Setup: pahole
-------------
The line below in linux/scripts/Makefile.btf must be commented out:
pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 121) += --btf_gen_floats
Or else, the build will fail:
$ make V=1
...
BTF .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
pahole -J --btf_gen_floats \
-j --lang_exclude=rust \
--skip_encoding_btf_inconsistent_proto \
--btf_gen_optimized .tmp_vmlinux.btf
Complex, interval and imaginary float types are not supported
Encountered error while encoding BTF.
...
BTFIDS vmlinux
./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: No data available
This is due to the fact that the ARC toolchains generate
"complex float" DIE entries in libgcc and at the moment, pahole
can't handle such entries.
Running the tests
-----------------
host$ scp /bld/linux/lib/test_bpf.ko arc:
arc # sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable=1
arc # insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf

Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily
instrument memory allocators. It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type
with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when
the feature is enabled.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory
allocation profiling instrumentation.
Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation
profiling by default.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Main user visible change:
- User events can now have "multi formats"
The current user events have a single format. If another event is
created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That
is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a
different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an
event and updates its format. An application using the older format
will prevent an application using the new library from registering
its event.
A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event
names, and it creates events with different formats.
The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
format. Both the event name and its format are the unique
identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the
same user event name but with different payloads.
- Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
not just the main top level tracing buffer.
Other changes:
- Add eventfs_root_inode
Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away)
and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands
of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set
in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a
eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root
inode will use this.
- Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs
There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be
hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to
make sure that they are never hit.
- Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid
array
The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to
hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already
apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory
can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as
well.
- Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in
TRACE_EVENT()
Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:
__string(name, source)
And assigned with:
__assign_str(name, source)
In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to
get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and
__assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer.
There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT()
macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in
the ring buffer which is created by __string().
There are several trace events that have a function to create the
string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for
__string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for
this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in
__string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also
already has its length).
By using the structure to store the source string for the
assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is
no longer needed.
It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a
warning if the source string given to __string() is different than
the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to
__assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away.
- Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the
next merge window.
Included fixes that the above check found.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes"

Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For
debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to
check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for
other purposes.
This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific
or multiple trace instances:
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump
- ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer
on all CPUs
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global
trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the
tracing instance matching <instance_name>
- ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu],
<instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace
buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU
that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given
Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

This patch adds /proc/sys/net/core/mem_pcpu_rsv sysctl file,
to make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable.
Commit 3cd3399dd7a8 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for
memory_allocated") introduced per-cpu forward alloc cache:
"Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number
of changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated, which
would otherwise be cause of false sharing."
sk_prot->memory_allocated points to global atomic variable:
atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB,
changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated can be further reduced.
Performance may be improved on system with many cores.

For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of
panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks. On today's large servers
running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and
this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for
serial console which is main target user case of panic_print).
And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the
panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

After 25b21cb2f6d6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111bdc
("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped being
global and started counting per ipc namespace. The documentation and
shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option.
shmget(2):
SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured in
units of the system page size. On Linux, this limit can be read and
modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall.
I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
route attribute.
- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality
- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.
- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
TCP_INFO.
- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.
- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
shutdown().
- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.
- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.
- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.
- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.
- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.
- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.
- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.
- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
runtime.
- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.
- MCTP over I3C.
BPF:
- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.
- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:
https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/
- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
value for the current CPU.
This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.
- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.
- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.
- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.
- Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().
- Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.
- Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
fentry/fexit programs.
- Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.
- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.
- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.
Changes to common code:
- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
flexible array members.
- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.
Driver API:
- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.
- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
network time distribution.
- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.
- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().
- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
addresses.
- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.
- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().
- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.
Misc:
- A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.
- A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.
- A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.
- Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.
- Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

on the platform
The 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl is available for the admin to disable/enable
energy aware scheduling(EAS). EAS is enabled only if few conditions are
met by the platform. They are, asymmetric CPU capacity, no SMT,
schedutil CPUfreq governor, frequency invariant load tracking etc.
A platform may boot without EAS capability, but could gain such
capability at runtime. For example, changing/registering the cpufreq
governor to schedutil.
At present, though platform doesn't support EAS, this sysctl returns 1
and it ends up calling build_perf_domains on write to 1 and
NOP when writing to 0. That is confusing and un-necessary.
Desired behavior would be to have this sysctl to enable/disable the EAS
on supported platform. On non-supported platform write to the sysctl
would return not supported error and read of the sysctl would return
empty. So sched_energy_aware returns empty - EAS is not possible at this moment
This will include EAS capable platforms which have at least one EAS
condition false during startup, e.g. not using the schedutil cpufreq governor
sched_energy_aware returns 0 - EAS is supported but disabled by admin.
sched_energy_aware returns 1 - EAS is supported and enabled.
User can find out the reason why EAS is not possible by checking
info messages. sched_is_eas_possible returns true if the platform
can do EAS at this moment.

Commit c8c0c239d5ab moved struct dentry_stat_t to fs/dcache.c but
did not update its location in Documentation, so update that now.
Also change each struct member from int to long as done in
commit 3942c07ccf98.
Fixes: c8c0c239d5ab ("fs: move dcache sysctls to its own file")
Fixes: 3942c07ccf98 ("fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long")

As BPF JIT support for loongarch64 was added about one year ago
with commit 5dc615520c4d ("LoongArch: Add BPF JIT support"), it
is appropriate to add loongarch64 as arch supporting BPF JIT in
bpf and sysctl docs as well.

"A few fixes that should go into the 6.6-rc merge window:
- Fix for a regression this merge window caused by the SQPOLL
affinity patch, where we can race with SQPOLL thread shutdown and
cause an oops when trying to set affinity (Gabriel)
- Fix for a regression this merge window where fdinfo reading with
for a ring setup with IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY will attempt to
deference the non-existing SQ ring array (me)
- Add the patch that allows more finegrained control over who can use
io_uring (Matteo)
- Locking fix for a regression added this merge window for IOPOLL
overflow (Pavel)
- IOPOLL fix for stable, breaking our loop if helper threads are
exiting (Pavel)
Also had a fix for unreaped iopoll requests from io-wq from Ming, but
we found an issue with that and hence it got reverted. Will get this
sorted for a future rc"

Introduce a new sysctl (io_uring_disabled) which can be either 0, 1, or
2. When 0 (the default), all processes are allowed to create io_uring
instances, which is the current behavior. When 1, io_uring creation is
disabled (io_uring_setup() will fail with -EPERM) for unprivileged
processes not in the kernel.io_uring_group group. When 2, calls to
io_uring_setup() fail with -EPERM regardless of privilege.

Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski:
"WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this
release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we
got it to a reasonable point.
Core:
- Rework the sendpage & splice implementations
Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg
handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a
new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an
additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right
combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is
Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely
- Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid
- Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT
- Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker
- Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families
Protocols:
- Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
tcp_rmem[2]
- Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy
- Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags
- Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative
- Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info
(MPTCP_FULL_INFO)
- Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full
record
- Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the
way to issuing ioctls over io_uring
- Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address
- Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch
- PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable
- Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
(ipconfig)
- Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
(e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)
- Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets
- Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
printk level to debug
- HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto
- Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4
- Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7
BPF:
- Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or
in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
especially those using open-coded iterators
- Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the
output buffer *should* be, without writing anything
- Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers
- Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper
- Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands
- Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
maps as read-only)
- Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo
- Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are
self-explanatory):
- Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
and bpf_dynptr_clone().
- bpf_task_under_cgroup()
- bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
- bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs
Netfilter:
- Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
presence of an entry in a map without using the value
- Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds
- Allow updating size of a set
- Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing
Driver API:
- Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
"offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
(i.e. packets coming in and out)
- Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules
- Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
common helper routines
- Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
associated with the PCS layer
- Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
scheduler offload (taprio)
- Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs
to fit into the message
- Split devlink instance and devlink port operations

If RPS is enabled, this allows configuring a default rps
mask, which is effective since receive queue creation time.
A default RPS mask allows the system admin to ensure proper
isolation, avoiding races at network namespace or device
creation time.
The default RPS mask is initially empty, and can be
modified via a newly added sysctl entry.

kexec allows replacing the current kernel with a different one. This is
usually a source of concerns for sysadmins that want to harden a system.
Linux already provides a way to disable loading new kexec kernel via
kexec_load_disabled, but that control is very coard, it is all or nothing
and does not make distinction between a panic kexec and a normal kexec.
This patch introduces new sysctl parameters, with finer tuning to specify
how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded. The sysadmin can set
different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot kernels. The value can
be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a stricter value.
With these new parameters on place, a system with loadpin and verity
enabled, using the following kernel parameters:
sysctl.kexec_load_limit_reboot=0 sysct.kexec_load_limit_panic=1 can have a
good warranty that if initrd tries to load a panic kernel, a malitious
user will have small chances to replace that kernel with a different one,
even if they can trigger timeouts on the disk where the panic kernel
lives.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This was a not-too-busy cycle for documentation; highlights include:
- The beginnings of a set of translations into Spanish, headed up by
Carlos Bilbao
- More Chinese translations
- A change to the Sphinx "alabaster" theme by default for HTML
generation.
Unlike the previous default (Read the Docs), alabaster is shipped
with Sphinx by default, reducing the number of other dependencies
that need to be installed. It also (IMO) produces a cleaner and
more readable result.
- The ability to render the documentation into the texinfo format
(something Sphinx could always do, we just never wired it up until
now)
Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, build-warning fixes, and
minor updates"

Many Linux systems are configured to not panic on oops; but allowing an
attacker to oops the system **really** often can make even bugs that look
completely unexploitable exploitable (like NULL dereferences and such) if
each crash elevates a refcount by one or a lock is taken in read mode, and
this causes a counter to eventually overflow.
The most interesting counters for this are 32 bits wide (like open-coded
refcounts that don't use refcount_t). (The ldsem reader count on 32-bit
platforms is just 16 bits, but probably nobody cares about 32-bit platforms
that much nowadays.)
So let's panic the system if the kernel is constantly oopsing.
The speed of oopsing 2^32 times probably depends on several factors, like
how long the stack trace is and which unwinder you're using; an empirically
important one is whether your console is showing a graphical environment or
a text console that oopses will be printed to.
In a quick single-threaded benchmark, it looks like oopsing in a vfork()
child with a very short stack trace only takes ~510 microseconds per run
when a graphical console is active; but switching to a text console that
oopses are printed to slows it down around 87x, to ~45 milliseconds per
run.
(Adding more threads makes this faster, but the actual oops printing
happens under &die_lock on x86, so you can maybe speed this up by a factor
of around 2 and then any further improvement gets eaten up by lock
contention.)
It looks like it would take around 8-12 days to overflow a 32-bit counter
with repeated oopsing on a multi-core X86 system running a graphical
environment; both me (in an X86 VM) and Seth (with a distro kernel on
normal hardware in a standard configuration) got numbers in that ballpark.
12 days aren't *that* short on a desktop system, and you'd likely need much
longer on a typical server system (assuming that people don't run graphical
desktop environments on their servers), and this is a *very* noisy and
violent approach to exploiting the kernel; and it also seems to take orders
of magnitude longer on some machines, probably because stuff like EFI
pstore will slow it down a ton if that's active.

Statistically, in a large deployment regular segfaults may indicate a CPU
issue.
Currently, it is not possible to find out what CPU the segfault happened
on. There are at least two attempts to improve segfault logging with this
regard, but they do not help in case the logs rotate.
Hence, lets make sure it is possible to permanently record a CPU the task
ran on using a new core_pattern specifier.

Commit b041b525dab9 ("x86/split_lock: Make life miserable for split lockers")
changed the way the split lock detector works when in "warn" mode;
basically, it not only shows the warn message, but also intentionally
introduces a slowdown through sleeping plus serialization mechanism
on such task. Based on discussions in [0], seems the warning alone
wasn't enough motivation for userspace developers to fix their
applications.
This slowdown is enough to totally break some proprietary (aka.
unfixable) userspace[1].
Happens that originally the proposal in [0] was to add a new mode
which would warns + slowdown the "split locking" task, keeping the
old warn mode untouched. In the end, that idea was discarded and
the regular/default "warn" mode now slows down the applications. This
is quite aggressive with regards proprietary/legacy programs that
basically are unable to properly run in kernel with this change.
While it is understandable that a malicious application could DoS
by split locking, it seems unacceptable to regress old/proprietary
userspace programs through a default configuration that previously
worked. An example of such breakage was reported in [1].
Add a sysctl to allow controlling the "misery mode" behavior, as per
Thomas suggestion on [2]. This way, users running legacy and/or
proprietary software are allowed to still execute them with a decent
performance while still observing the warning messages on kernel log.

This brings the text markup in line with sysctl/abi and
sysctl/kernel:
* the entries are ordered alphabetically
* the table of contents is automatically generated
* markup is used as appropriate for constants etc.
The content isn't fully up-to-date but the obsolete entries are gone,
so remove the kernel version mention.
