Merge series from James Calligeros <jcalligeros99@gmail.com>:
This series introduces a number of changes to the drivers for
the Texas Instruments TAS2764 and TAS2770 amplifiers in order to
introduce (and improve in the case of TAS2770) support for the
variants of these amps found in Apple Silicon Macs.
Apple's variant of TAS2764 is known as SN012776, and as always with
Apple is a subtly incompatible variant with a number of quirks. It
is not publicly available. The TAS2770 variant is known as TAS5770L,
and does not require incompatible handling.
Much as with the Cirrus codec patches, I do not
expect that we will get any official acknowledgement that these parts
exist from TI, however I would be delighted to be proven wrong.
This series has been living in the downstream Asahi kernel tree[1]
for over two years, and has been tested by many thousands of users
by this point[2].
v4 drops the TDM idle TX slot behaviour patches. I experimented with
the API discussed in v3, however this did not work on any of the machines
I tested it with. More tweaking is probably needed.

Turn thread.fpu into a pointer. Since most FPU code internals work by passing
around the FPU pointer already, the code generation impact is small.
This allows us to remove the old kludge of task_struct being variable size:
struct task_struct {
...
/*
* New fields for task_struct should be added above here, so that
* they are included in the randomized portion of task_struct.
*/
randomized_struct_fields_end
/* CPU-specific state of this task: */
struct thread_struct thread;
/*
* WARNING: on x86, 'thread_struct' contains a variable-sized
* structure. It *MUST* be at the end of 'task_struct'.
*
* Do not put anything below here!
*/
};
... which creates a number of problems, such as requiring thread_struct to be
the last member of the struct - not allowing it to be struct-randomized, etc.
But the primary motivation is to allow the decoupling of task_struct from
hardware details (<asm/processor.h> in particular), and to eventually allow
the per-task infrastructure:
DECLARE_PER_TASK(type, name);
...
per_task(current, name) = val;
... which requires task_struct to be a constant size struct.
The fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() quirk to hardened usercopy can be removed,
now that the FPU structure is not embedded in the task struct anymore, which
reduces text footprint a bit.

nfs.ko, nfsd.ko, and lockd.ko all use crc32_le(), which is available
only when CONFIG_CRC32 is enabled. But the only NFS kconfig option that
selected CONFIG_CRC32 was CONFIG_NFS_DEBUG, which is client-specific and
did not actually guard the use of crc32_le() even on the client.
The code worked around this bug by only actually calling crc32_le() when
CONFIG_CRC32 is built-in, instead hard-coding '0' in other cases. This
avoided randconfig build errors, and in real kernels the fallback code
was unlikely to be reached since CONFIG_CRC32 is 'default y'. But, this
really needs to just be done properly, especially now that I'm planning
to update CONFIG_CRC32 to not be 'default y'.
Therefore, make CONFIG_NFS_FS, CONFIG_NFSD, and CONFIG_LOCKD select
CONFIG_CRC32. Then remove the fallback code that becomes unnecessary,
as well as the selection of CONFIG_CRC32 from CONFIG_NFS_DEBUG.

Introduce support for protocol drivers to specify whether a transfer
should use single or dual transfer mode. Currently, the SPI controller
cannot determine this information from the user, leading to potential
limitations in transfer capabilities.
Add a new field `dtr_mode` in the `spi_transfer` structure. The `dtr_mode`
field allows protocol drivers to indicate if Double Transfer Rate (DTR)
mode is supported for a given transfer. When `dtr_mode` is set to true,
the SPI controller will use DTR mode; otherwise, it will default to single
transfer mode.
Introduce another field `dtr_caps` to indicate if the QSPI controller is
capable of supporting DTR mode (SDR and DDR). By default, both `dtr_caps`
and `dtr_mode` will be false. These flags manage the QSPI controller's DTR
mode capabilities within the SPI framework.
The QSPI controller driver uses these flags to configure single or double
transfer rates using the controller register.
The existing spi-mem driver helps configure the DTR mode but is limited to
memory devices. There is no support available to set DTR mode for non-memory
devices, e.g., touch or any generic SPI sensor. This change is backward
compatible and doesn't break existing SPI or QSPI drivers.
Changes include:
- Addition of `dtr_mode` and `dtr_caps` fields in the `spi_transfer`
structure.
- Documentation updates to reflect the new `dtr_mode` and `dtr_caps` fields.

DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp:
move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer
had been inactive for five years.
In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes
to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that,
the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates
or adjustments related to TCP.
Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit
b144fcaf46d4 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice.").
Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0]
There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted
on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream
community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license,
the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating:
"This is not Open Source software."
The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream
the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further
communication since then.
Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden.
Therefore, it's time to remove it.
Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows
us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which
is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of
cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path.
Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested. [3]

We got a late smatch warning and some additional review feedback.
smatch warnings:
mm/memory.c:1428 copy_page_range() error: uninitialized symbol 'pfn'.
We actually use the pfn only when it is properly initialized; however, we
may pass an uninitialized value to a function -- although it will not use
it that likely still is UB in C.
So let's just fix it by always initializing pfn in the caller of
track_pfn_copy(), and improving the documentation of track_pfn_copy().
While at it, clarify the doc of untrack_pfn_copy(), that internal checks
make sure if we actually have to untrack anything.

Partially revert commit 0aaddfb06882 ("locking/local_lock: Introduce
localtry_lock_t"). Remove localtry_*() helpers, since localtry_lock()
name might be misinterpreted as "try lock".
Introduce local_trylock[_irqsave]() helpers that only work with newly
introduced local_trylock_t type. Note that attempt to use
local_trylock[_irqsave]() with local_lock_t will cause compilation
failure.
Usage and behavior in !PREEMPT_RT:
local_lock_t lock; // sizeof(lock) == 0
local_lock(&lock); // preempt disable
local_lock_irqsave(&lock, ...); // irq save
if (local_trylock_irqsave(&lock, ...)) // compilation error
local_trylock_t lock; // sizeof(lock) == 4
local_lock(&lock); // preempt disable, acquired = 1
local_lock_irqsave(&lock, ...); // irq save, acquired = 1
if (local_trylock(&lock)) // if (!acquired) preempt disable, acquired = 1
if (local_trylock_irqsave(&lock, ...)) // if (!acquired) irq save, acquired = 1
The existing local_lock_*() macros can be used either with local_lock_t or
local_trylock_t. With local_trylock_t they set acquired = 1 while
local_unlock_*() clears it.
In !PREEMPT_RT local_lock_irqsave(local_lock_t *) disables interrupts to
protect critical section, but it doesn't prevent NMI, so the fully
reentrant code cannot use local_lock_irqsave(local_lock_t *) for exclusive
access.
The local_lock_irqsave(local_trylock_t *) helper disables interrupts and
sets acquired=1, so local_trylock_irqsave(local_trylock_t *) from NMI
attempting to acquire the same lock will return false.
In PREEMPT_RT local_lock_irqsave() maps to preemptible spin_lock(). Map
local_trylock_irqsave() to preemptible spin_trylock(). When in hard IRQ
or NMI return false right away, since spin_trylock() is not safe due to
explicit locking in the underneath rt_spin_trylock() implementation.
Removing this explicit locking and attempting only "trylock" is undesired
due to PI implications.
The local_trylock() without _irqsave can be used to avoid the cost of
disabling/enabling interrupts by only disabling preemption, so
local_trylock() in an interrupt attempting to acquire the same lock will
return false.
Note there is no need to use local_inc for acquired variable, since it's a
percpu variable with strict nesting scopes.
Note that guard(local_lock)(&lock) works only for "local_lock_t lock".
The patch also makes sure that local_lock_release(l) is called before
WRITE_ONCE(l->acquired, 0). Though IRQs are disabled at this point the
local_trylock() from NMI will succeed and local_lock_acquire(l) will warn.

Commit 9748cb2dc393 ("VFS: repack DENTRY_ flags.") changed the value of
DCACHE_MOUNTED, which broke drgn's path_lookup() helper. drgn is forced
to hard-code it because it's a macro, and macros aren't preserved in
debugging information by default.
Enums, on the other hand, are included in debugging information. Convert
the DCACHE_* flag macros to an enum so that debugging tools like drgn
and bpftrace can make use of them.

Call cs_dsp_mock_xm_header_get_fw_version() to get the firmware version
from the dummy XM header data in cs_dsp_bin_err_test_common_init().
Make the same change to cs_dsp_bin_test_common_init() and remove the
cs_dsp_mock_xm_header_get_fw_version_from_regmap() function.
The code in cs_dsp_test_bin.c was correctly calling
cs_dsp_mock_xm_header_get_fw_version_from_regmap() to fetch the fw version
from a dummy header it wrote to XM registers. However in
cs_dsp_test_bin_error.c the test doesn't stuff a dummy header into XM, it
populates it the normal way using a wmfw file. It should have called
cs_dsp_mock_xm_header_get_fw_version() to get the data from its blob
buffer, but was calling cs_dsp_mock_xm_header_get_fw_version_from_regmap().
As nothing had been written to the registers this returned the value of
uninitialized data.
The only other use of cs_dsp_mock_xm_header_get_fw_version_from_regmap()
was cs_dsp_test_bin.c, but it doesn't need to use it. It already has a
blob buffer containing the dummy XM header so it can use
cs_dsp_mock_xm_header_get_fw_version() to read from that.

txq_trans_update() currently uses txq->xmit_lock_owner
to conditionally update txq->trans_start.
For regular devices, txq->xmit_lock_owner is updated
from HARD_TX_LOCK() and HARD_TX_UNLOCK(), and this apparently
causes cpu stalls.
Using dev->lltx, which sits in a read-mostly cache-line,
and already used in HARD_TX_LOCK() and HARD_TX_UNLOCK()
helps cpu prediction.
On an AMD EPYC 7B12 dual socket server, tcp_rr with 128 threads
and 30,000 flows gets a 5 % increase in throughput.
As explained in commit 95ecba62e2fd ("net: fix races in
netdev_tx_sent_queue()/dev_watchdog()") I am planning
to no longer update txq->trans_start in the fast path
in a followup patch.

Protect xdp_features with netdev->lock. This way pure readers
no longer have to take rtnl_lock to access the field.
This includes calling NETDEV_XDP_FEAT_CHANGE under the lock.
Looks like that's fine for bonding, the only "real" listener,
it's the same as ethtool feature change.
In terms of normal drivers - only GVE need special consideration
(other drivers don't use instance lock or don't support XDP).
It calls xdp_set_features_flag() helper from gve_init_priv() which
in turn is called from gve_reset_recovery() (locked), or prior
to netdev registration. So switch to _locked.

netdev_get_by_index_lock() performs following steps:
rcu_lock();
dev = lookup(netns, ifindex);
dev_get(dev);
rcu_unlock();
[... lock & validate the dev ...]
return dev
Validation right now only checks if the device is registered but since
the lookup is netns-aware we must also protect against the device
switching netns right after we dropped the RCU lock. Otherwise
the caller in netns1 may get a pointer to a device which has just
switched to netns2.
We can't hold the lock for the entire netns change process (because of
the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier), and there's no existing marking to
indicate that the netns is unlisted because of netns move, so add one.
AFAIU none of the existing netdev_get_by_index_lock() callers can
suffer from this problem (NAPI code double checks the netns membership
and other callers are either under rtnl_lock or not ns-sensitive),
so this patch does not have to be treated as a fix.

Since cpufreq_update_limits() obtains a cpufreq policy pointer for the
given CPU and reference counts the corresponding policy object, it may
as well pass the policy pointer to the cpufreq driver's ->update_limits()
callback which allows that callback to avoid invoking cpufreq_cpu_get()
for the same CPU.
Accordingly, redefine ->update_limits() to take a policy pointer instead
of a CPU number and update both drivers implementing it, intel_pstate
and amd-pstate, as needed.

In cases where an allocation is consumed by another function, the
allocation needs to be retained on success or freed on failure. The code
pattern is usually:
struct foo *f = kzalloc(sizeof(*f), GFP_KERNEL);
struct bar *b;
,,,
// Initialize f
...
if (ret)
goto free;
...
bar = bar_create(f);
if (!bar) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto free;
}
...
return 0;
free:
kfree(f);
return ret;
This prevents using __free(kfree) on @f because there is no canonical way
to tell the cleanup code that the allocation should not be freed.
Abusing no_free_ptr() by force ignoring the return value is not really a
sensible option either.
Provide an explicit macro retain_and_null_ptr(), which NULLs the cleanup
pointer. That makes it easy to analyze and reason about.

Most UDP tunnels bind a socket to a local port, with ANY address, no
peer and no interface index specified.
Additionally it's quite common to have a single tunnel device per
namespace.
Track in each namespace the UDP tunnel socket respecting the above.
When only a single one is present, store a reference in the netns.
When such reference is not NULL, UDP tunnel GRO lookup just need to
match the incoming packet destination port vs the socket local port.
The tunnel socket never sets the reuse[port] flag[s]. When bound to no
address and interface, no other socket can exist in the same netns
matching the specified local port.
Matching packets with non-local destination addresses will be
aggregated, and eventually segmented as needed - no behavior changes
intended.
Restrict the optimization to kernel sockets only: it covers all the
relevant use-cases, and user-space owned sockets could be disconnected
and rebound after setup_udp_tunnel_sock(), breaking the uniqueness
assumption
Note that the UDP tunnel socket reference is stored into struct
netns_ipv4 for both IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels. That is intentional to keep
all the fastpath-related netns fields in the same struct and allow
cacheline-based optimization. Currently both the IPv4 and IPv6 socket
pointer share the same cacheline as the `udp_table` field.

The relative rates among two or more events are useful for performance
analysis, e.g., a high branch miss rate may indicate a performance
issue. Usually, the samples with a relative rate that exceeds some
threshold are more useful. However, the traditional sampling takes
samples of events separately. To get the relative rates among two or
more events, a high sample rate is required, which can bring high
overhead. Many samples taken in the non-hotspot area are also dropped
(useless) in the post-process.
The auto counter reload (ACR) feature takes samples when the relative
rate of two or more events exceeds some threshold, which provides the
fine-grained information at a low cost.
To support the feature, two sets of MSRs are introduced. For a given
counter IA32_PMC_GPn_CTR/IA32_PMC_FXm_CTR, bit fields in the
IA32_PMC_GPn_CFG_B/IA32_PMC_FXm_CFG_B MSR indicate which counter(s)
can cause a reload of that counter. The reload value is stored in the
IA32_PMC_GPn_CFG_C/IA32_PMC_FXm_CFG_C.
The details can be found at Intel SDM (085), Volume 3, 21.9.11 Auto
Counter Reload.
In the hw_config(), an ACR event is specially configured, because the
cause/reloadable counter mask has to be applied to the dyn_constraint.
Besides the HW limit, e.g., not support perf metrics, PDist and etc, a
SW limit is applied as well. ACR events in a group must be contiguous.
It facilitates the later conversion from the event idx to the counter
idx. Otherwise, the intel_pmu_acr_late_setup() has to traverse the whole
event list again to find the "cause" event.
Also, add a new flag PERF_X86_EVENT_ACR to indicate an ACR group, which
is set to the group leader.
The late setup() is also required for an ACR group. It's to convert the
event idx to the counter idx, and saved it in hw.config1.
The ACR configuration MSRs are only updated in the enable_event().
The disable_event() doesn't clear the ACR CFG register.
Add acr_cfg_b/acr_cfg_c in the struct cpu_hw_events to cache the MSR
values. It can avoid a MSR write if the value is not changed.
Expose an acr_mask to the sysfs. The perf tool can utilize the new
format to configure the relation of events in the group. The bit
sequence of the acr_mask follows the events enabled order of the group.
Example:
Here is the snippet of the mispredict.c. Since the array has a random
numbers, jumps are random and often mispredicted.
The mispredicted rate depends on the compared value.
For the Loop1, ~11% of all branches are mispredicted.
For the Loop2, ~21% of all branches are mispredicted.
main()
{
...
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
data[i] = rand() % 256;
...
/* Loop 1 */
for (k = 0; k < 50; k++)
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
if (data[i] >= 64)
sum += data[i];
...
...
/* Loop 2 */
for (k = 0; k < 50; k++)
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
if (data[i] >= 128)
sum += data[i];
...
}
Usually, a code with a high branch miss rate means a bad performance.
To understand the branch miss rate of the codes, the traditional method
usually samples both branches and branch-misses events. E.g.,
perf record -e "{cpu_atom/branch-misses/ppu, cpu_atom/branch-instructions/u}"
-c 1000000 -- ./mispredict
[ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.925 MB perf.data (5106 samples) ]
The 5106 samples are from both events and spread in both Loops.
In the post-process stage, a user can know that the Loop 2 has a 21%
branch miss rate. Then they can focus on the samples of branch-misses
events for the Loop 2.
With this patch, the user can generate the samples only when the branch
miss rate > 20%. For example,
perf record -e "{cpu_atom/branch-misses,period=200000,acr_mask=0x2/ppu,
cpu_atom/branch-instructions,period=1000000,acr_mask=0x3/u}"
-- ./mispredict
(Two different periods are applied to branch-misses and
branch-instructions. The ratio is set to 20%.
If the branch-instructions is overflowed first, the branch-miss
rate < 20%. No samples should be generated. All counters should be
automatically reloaded.
If the branch-misses is overflowed first, the branch-miss rate > 20%.
A sample triggered by the branch-misses event should be
generated. Just the counter of the branch-instructions should be
automatically reloaded.
The branch-misses event should only be automatically reloaded when
the branch-instructions is overflowed. So the "cause" event is the
branch-instructions event. The acr_mask is set to 0x2, since the
event index in the group of branch-instructions is 1.
The branch-instructions event is automatically reloaded no matter which
events are overflowed. So the "cause" events are the branch-misses
and the branch-instructions event. The acr_mask should be set to 0x3.)

The 2498 samples are all from the branch-misses events for the Loop 2.
The number of samples and overhead is significantly reduced without
losing any information.

The auto counter reload feature requires an event flag to indicate an
auto counter reload group, which can only be scheduled on specific
counters that enumerated in CPUID. However, the hw_perf_event.flags has
run out on X86.
Two solutions were considered to address the issue.
- Currently, 20 bits are reserved for the architecture-specific flags.
Only the bit 31 is used for the generic flag. There is still plenty
of space left. Reserve 8 more bits for the arch-specific flags.
- Add a new X86 specific hw_perf_event.flags1 to support more flags.
The former is implemented. Enough room is still left in the global
generic flag.
