mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: introduce the name HVO
It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced. Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now. This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the way discussed in thread [1].

Modules updates for 6.0
For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor fixes
effort. This is becomes much easier to do and review now due to the code
split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel release. I expect
to see more of this with time and as we expand on test coverage in the future.
The cleanups and fixes come from usual suspects such as Christophe Leroy and
Aaron Tomlin but there are also some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where he spotted
a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects of this
misalignment being present for years and it has been determined there should
be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy exception handler. Helge actually
hit one of these buggy exception handlers on parisc which is how he ended up
spotting this issue. When implemented correctly these paths with incorrect
misalignment would just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are
dealing with alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info
regardign BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored)
this really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with kmap_local_page()
and my only concern with that was on what is done after preemption, but the
virtual addresses are restored after preemption. This is only used on module
decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which has
been there for 3 weeks.

x86/bugs: Enable STIBP for IBPB mitigated RETBleed
AMD's "Technical Guidance for Mitigating Branch Type Confusion,
Rev. 1.0 2022-07-12" whitepaper, under section 6.1.2 "IBPB On
Privileged Mode Entry / SMT Safety" says:
Similar to the Jmp2Ret mitigation, if the code on the sibling thread
cannot be trusted, software should set STIBP to 1 or disable SMT to
ensure SMT safety when using this mitigation.
So, like already being done for retbleed=unret, and now also for
retbleed=ibpb, force STIBP on machines that have it, and report its SMT
vulnerability status accordingly.
[ bp: Remove the "we" and remove "[AMD]" applicability parameter which
doesn't work here. ]

IOMMU Updates for Linux v5.20/v6.0:
Including:
- Most intrusive patch is small and changes the default
allocation policy for DMA addresses. Before the change the
allocator tried its best to find an address in the first 4GB.
But that lead to performance problems when that space gets
exhaused, and since most devices are capable of 64-bit DMA
these days, we changed it to search in the full DMA-mask
range from the beginning. This change has the potential to
uncover bugs elsewhere, in the kernel or the hardware. There
is a Kconfig option and a command line option to restore the
old behavior, but none of them is enabled by default.
- Add Robin Murphy as reviewer of IOMMU code and maintainer for
the dma-iommu and iova code
- Chaning IOVA magazine size from 1032 to 1024 bytes to save
memory
- Some core code cleanups and dead-code removal
- Support for ACPI IORT RMR node
- Support for multiple PCI domains in the AMD-Vi driver
- ARM SMMU changes from Will Deacon:
- Add even more Qualcomm device-tree compatible strings
- Support dumping of IMP DEF Qualcomm registers on TLB sync
timeout
- Fix reference count leak on device tree node in Qualcomm
driver
- Intel VT-d driver updates from Lu Baolu:
- Make intel-iommu.h private
- Optimize the use of two locks
- Extend the driver to support large-scale platforms
- Cleanup some dead code
- MediaTek IOMMU refactoring and support for TTBR up to 35bit
- Basic support for Exynos SysMMU v7
- VirtIO IOMMU driver gets a map/unmap_pages() implementation
- Other smaller cleanups and fixes

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.
Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
other minor patch series being held over for next time.
Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
into 6.1-rc1.

* threadgroup_rwsem write locking is skipped when configuring controllers in
empty subtrees. Combined with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, this allows the common
static usage pattern to not grab threadgroup_rwsem at all (glibc still
doesn't seem ready for CLONE_INTO_CGROUP unfortunately).
* threadgroup_rwsem used to be put into non-percpu mode by default due to
latency concerns in specific use cases. There's no reason for everyone
else to pay for it. Make the behavior optional.
* psi no longer allocates memory when disabled.

x86/speculation: Add RSB VM Exit protections
tl;dr: The Enhanced IBRS mitigation for Spectre v2 does not work as
documented for RET instructions after VM exits. Mitigate it with a new
one-entry RSB stuffing mechanism and a new LFENCE.
== Background ==
Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) was designed to help
mitigate Branch Target Injection and Speculative Store Bypass, i.e.
Spectre, attacks. IBRS prevents software run in less privileged modes
from affecting branch prediction in more privileged modes. IBRS requires
the MSR to be written on every privilege level change.
To overcome some of the performance issues of IBRS, Enhanced IBRS was
introduced. eIBRS is an "always on" IBRS, in other words, just turn
it on once instead of writing the MSR on every privilege level change.
When eIBRS is enabled, more privileged modes should be protected from
less privileged modes, including protecting VMMs from guests.
== Problem ==
Here's a simplification of how guests are run on Linux' KVM:
void run_kvm_guest(void)
{
// Prepare to run guest
VMRESUME();
// Clean up after guest runs
}
The execution flow for that would look something like this to the
processor:
1. Host-side: call run_kvm_guest()
2. Host-side: VMRESUME
3. Guest runs, does "CALL guest_function"
4. VM exit, host runs again
5. Host might make some "cleanup" function calls
6. Host-side: RET from run_kvm_guest()
Now, when back on the host, there are a couple of possible scenarios of
post-guest activity the host needs to do before executing host code:
* on pre-eIBRS hardware (legacy IBRS, or nothing at all), the RSB is not
touched and Linux has to do a 32-entry stuffing.
* on eIBRS hardware, VM exit with IBRS enabled, or restoring the host
IBRS=1 shortly after VM exit, has a documented side effect of flushing
the RSB except in this PBRSB situation where the software needs to stuff
the last RSB entry "by hand".
IOW, with eIBRS supported, host RET instructions should no longer be
influenced by guest behavior after the host retires a single CALL
instruction.
However, if the RET instructions are "unbalanced" with CALLs after a VM
exit as is the RET in #6, it might speculatively use the address for the
instruction after the CALL in #3 as an RSB prediction. This is a problem
since the (untrusted) guest controls this address.
Balanced CALL/RET instruction pairs such as in step #5 are not affected.
== Solution ==
The PBRSB issue affects a wide variety of Intel processors which
support eIBRS. But not all of them need mitigation. Today,
X86_FEATURE_RSB_VMEXIT triggers an RSB filling sequence that mitigates
PBRSB. Systems setting RSB_VMEXIT need no further mitigation - i.e.,
eIBRS systems which enable legacy IBRS explicitly.
However, such systems (X86_FEATURE_IBRS_ENHANCED) do not set RSB_VMEXIT
and most of them need a new mitigation.
Therefore, introduce a new feature flag X86_FEATURE_RSB_VMEXIT_LITE
which triggers a lighter-weight PBRSB mitigation versus RSB_VMEXIT.
The lighter-weight mitigation performs a CALL instruction which is
immediately followed by a speculative execution barrier (INT3). This
steers speculative execution to the barrier -- just like a retpoline
-- which ensures that speculation can never reach an unbalanced RET.
Then, ensure this CALL is retired before continuing execution with an
LFENCE.
In other words, the window of exposure is opened at VM exit where RET
behavior is troublesome. While the window is open, force RSB predictions
sampling for RET targets to a dead end at the INT3. Close the window
with the LFENCE.
There is a subset of eIBRS systems which are not vulnerable to PBRSB.
Add these systems to the cpu_vuln_whitelist[] as NO_EIBRS_PBRSB.
Future systems that aren't vulnerable will set ARCH_CAP_PBRSB_NO.

linux-kselftest-kunit-5.20-rc1
This KUnit update for Linux 5.20-rc1 consists of several fixes and an
important feature to discourage running KUnit tests on production
systems. Running tests on a production system could leave the system
in a bad state. This new feature adds:
- adds a new taint type, TAINT_TEST to signal that a test has been run.
This should discourage people from running these tests on production
systems, and to make it easier to tell if tests have been run
accidentally (by loading the wrong configuration, etc.)
- several documentation and tool enhancements and fixes.

earth-shaking:
- More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian translations.
The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations are
more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.
- Some build-system performance improvements.
- The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document, with the
movement of what useful material that remained into other docs.
- Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more useful

RCU pull request for v5.20 (or whatever)
This pull request contains the following branches: doc.2022.06.21a: Documentation updates. fixes.2022.07.19a: Miscellaneous fixes. nocb.2022.07.19a: Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters. This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and Android.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"Though there's been a decent amount of RNG-related development during
this last cycle, not all of it is coming through this tree, as this
cycle saw a shift toward tackling early boot time seeding issues,
which took place in other trees as well.
Here's a summary of the various patches:
- The CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM .config option and the "nordrand" boot
option have been removed, as they overlapped with the more widely
supported and more sensible options, CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and
"random.trust_cpu". This change allowed simplifying a bit of arch
code.
- x86's RDRAND boot time test has been made a bit more robust, with
RDRAND disabled if it's clearly producing bogus results. This would
be a tip.git commit, technically, but I took it through random.git
to avoid a large merge conflict.
- The RNG has long since mixed in a timestamp very early in boot, on
the premise that a computer that does the same things, but does so
starting at different points in wall time, could be made to still
produce a different RNG state. Unfortunately, the clock isn't set
early in boot on all systems, so now we mix in that timestamp when
the time is actually set.
- User Mode Linux now uses the host OS's getrandom() syscall to
generate a bootloader RNG seed and later on treats getrandom() as
the platform's RDRAND-like faculty.
- The arch_get_random_{seed_,}_long() family of functions is now
arch_get_random_{seed_,}_longs(), which enables certain platforms,
such as s390, to exploit considerable performance advantages from
requesting multiple CPU random numbers at once, while at the same
time compiling down to the same code as before on platforms like
x86.
- A small cleanup changing a cmpxchg() into a try_cmpxchg(), from
Uros.
- A comment spelling fix"

architecture trees in the full commentary in the pull request:

apply security policy to memfd_secret() fds.
- Various small improvements to memory management: fixed leaks, freed

mm: vmpressure: don't count proactive reclaim in vmpressure
memory.reclaim is a cgroup v2 interface that allows users to proactively reclaim memory from a memcg, without real memory pressure. Reclaim operations invoke vmpressure, which is used: (a) To notify userspace of reclaim efficiency in cgroup v1, and (b) As a signal for a memcg being under memory pressure for networking (see mem_cgroup_under_socket_pressure()). For (a), vmpressure notifications in v1 are not affected by this change since memory.reclaim is a v2 feature. For (b), the effects of the vmpressure signal (according to Shakeel [1]) are as follows: 1. Reducing send and receive buffers of the current socket. 2. May drop packets on the rx path. 3. May throttle current thread on the tx path. Since proactive reclaim is invoked directly by userspace, not by memory pressure, it makes sense not to throttle networking. Hence, this change makes sure that proactive reclaim caused by memory.reclaim does not trigger vmpressure.

powerpc/pseries/mobility: set NMI watchdog factor during an LPM
During an LPM, while the memory transfer is in progress on the arrival side, some latencies are generated when accessing not yet transferred pages on the arrival side. Thus, the NMI watchdog may be triggered too frequently, which increases the risk to hit an NMI interrupt in a bad place in the kernel, leading to a kernel panic. Disabling the Hard Lockup Watchdog until the memory transfer could be a too strong work around, some users would want this timeout to be eventually triggered if the system is hanging even during an LPM. Introduce a new sysctl variable nmi_watchdog_factor. It allows to apply a factor to the NMI watchdog timeout during an LPM. Just before the CPUs are stopped for the switchover sequence, the NMI watchdog timer is set to watchdog_thresh + factor% A value of 0 has no effect. The default value is 200, meaning that the NMI watchdog is set to 30s during LPM (based on a 10s watchdog_thresh value). Once the memory transfer is achieved, the factor is reset to 0. Setting this value to a high number is like disabling the NMI watchdog during an LPM.

rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot
Systems built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y but booted without either the rcu_nocbs= or rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters will not have callback offloading on any of the CPUs, nor can any of the CPUs be switched to enable callback offloading at runtime. Although this is intentional, it would be nice to have a way to offload all the CPUs without having to make random bootloaders specify either the rcu_nocbs= or the rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters. This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that switches the default so as to offload callback processing on all of the CPUs. This default can still be overridden using the rcu_nocbs= and rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters.

x86/rdrand: Remove "nordrand" flag in favor of "random.trust_cpu"
The decision of whether or not to trust RDRAND is controlled by the "random.trust_cpu" boot time parameter or the CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU compile time default. The "nordrand" flag was added during the early days of RDRAND, when there were worries that merely using its values could compromise the RNG. However, these days, RDRAND values are not used directly but always go through the RNG's hash function, making "nordrand" no longer useful. Rather, the correct switch is "random.trust_cpu", which not only handles the relevant trust issue directly, but also is general to multiple CPU types, not just x86. However, x86 RDRAND does have a history of being occasionally problematic. Prior, when the kernel would notice something strange, it'd warn in dmesg and suggest enabling "nordrand". We can improve on that by making the test a little bit better and then taking the step of automatically disabling RDRAND if we detect it's problematic. Also disable RDSEED if the RDRAND test fails.

init: add "hostname" kernel parameter
The gethostname system call returns the hostname for the current machine. However, the kernel has no mechanism to initially set the current machine's name in such a way as to guarantee that the first userspace process to call gethostname will receive a meaningful result. It relies on some unspecified userspace process to first call sethostname before gethostname can produce a meaningful name. Traditionally the machine's hostname is set from userspace by the init system. The init system, in turn, often relies on a configuration file (say, /etc/hostname) to provide the value that it will supply in the call to sethostname. Consequently, the file system containing /etc/hostname usually must be available before the hostname will be set. There may, however, be earlier userspace processes that could call gethostname before the file system containing /etc/hostname is mounted. Such a process will get some other, likely meaningless, name from gethostname (such as "(none)", "localhost", or "darkstar"). A real-world example where this can happen, and lead to undesirable results, is with mdadm. When assembling arrays, mdadm distinguishes between "local" arrays and "foreign" arrays. A local array is one that properly belongs to the current machine, and a foreign array is one that is (possibly temporarily) attached to the current machine, but properly belongs to some other machine. To determine if an array is local or foreign, mdadm may compare the "homehost" recorded on the array with the current hostname. If mdadm is run before the root file system is mounted, perhaps because the root file system itself resides on an md-raid array, then /etc/hostname isn't yet available and the init system will not yet have called sethostname, causing mdadm to incorrectly conclude that all of the local arrays are foreign. Solving this problem *could* be delegated to the init system. It could be left up to the init system (including any init system that starts within an initramfs, if one is in use) to ensure that sethostname is called before any other userspace process could possibly call gethostname. However, it may not always be obvious which processes could call gethostname (for example, udev itself might not call gethostname, but it could via udev rules invoke processes that do). Additionally, the init system has to ensure that the hostname configuration value is stored in some place where it will be readily accessible during early boot. Unfortunately, every init system will attempt to (or has already attempted to) solve this problem in a different, possibly incorrect, way. This makes getting consistently working configurations harder for users. I believe it is better for the kernel to provide the means by which the hostname may be set early, rather than making this a problem for the init system to solve. The option to set the hostname during early startup, via a kernel parameter, provides a simple, reliable way to solve this problem. It also could make system configuration easier for some embedded systems.

docs: admin: devices: drop confusing outdated statement on Latex
The statement that the Latex version of Linux Device List is unmaintained, must go back to some historic time where there were actually two separate document sources, one in a txt format and another in a tex format (maybe even just on lanana.org). Nowadays, html and tex are generated from the ReST document file and the statement might be confused, believing the actual generated LaTeX document from the maintained ReST document could be an unmaintained one. Remove this statement on the LaTeX version and only keep pointing out that the version on lanana.org is no longer maintained.
