thread_info.syscall is used by syscall_get_nr to supply syscall nr
over a thread stack frame.

Previously, thread_info.syscall is only saved at syscall_trace_enter
when syscall tracing is enabled. However rest of the kernel code do
expect syscall_get_nr to be available without syscall tracing. The
previous design breaks collect_syscall.

Move saving process to syscall entry to fix it.

<id>9a88b338d6e941bd89bcbcbe9b834ebe896fea4a</id>
<content type='text'>
The reason is described in 5033ad566016 ("MIPS: move unselectable
entries out of the "CPU type" choice").

At the same time, commit 101bd58fde10 ("MIPS: Add support for Mobileye
EyeQ5") introduced another unselectable choice member.

(In fact, 5033ad566016 and 101bd58fde10 have the same commit time.)

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "S390:

   - Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request

   - Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
     requested

   - More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
     virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same)

   - Fix selftests undefined behavior

  x86:

   - Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
     encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
     guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
     that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can
     be programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration
     does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't
     report support the event *in general*. It might support it, and it
     might support it using the same encoding that made it into the
     architectural PMU spec

   - Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
     individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly
     emulates RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other
     PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are
     easier to validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka
     kvm-unit-tests)

   - Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does
     not cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM
     would check if a PMC event needs to be synthesized

   - Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10%
     performance improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is
     exposed to the guest

   - Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if
     an NMI arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit

   - Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification
     information when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit
     code

   - Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support

   - Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock
     held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace
     deletes a memslot

   - Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be
     1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
     zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
     are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels

   - Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
     overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
     but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization

   - Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
     emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives

   - Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM

   - Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
     ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
     some optimization for both Intel and AMD

   - Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
     elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
     unnecessary work

   - Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
     in-kernel

   - Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
     count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
     in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
     kernel

  x86 Xen emulation:

   - Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
     instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
     reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
     but the underlying host virtual address remains the same

   - When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
     deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
     timer emulation

   - Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
     APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
     behavior)

   - Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
     delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
     IDs

  RISC-V:

   - Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests

   - New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)

   - New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)

   - Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs

  ARM:

   - Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
     architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
     registers

   - Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
     x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
     assigned devices that can tolerate it

   - Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
     to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
     injection path

   - Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
     the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register

   - Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
     selftests

  LoongArch:

   - Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG

   - Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking

   - Do not restart SW timer when it is expired

   - Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest

   - Misc cleanups and fixes as usual

  Generic:

   - Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
     always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
     determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
     replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
     IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else

   - Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
     requiring each architecture to specify it

   - Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers

   - Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h

   - Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
     being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
     there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
     KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
     use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded

   - Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
     itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
     no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker

  Selftests:

   - Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
     infrastructure

   - Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
     library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory

   - Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
   hotplugged as system memory.

 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
   environments appearing with CXL.

 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
   process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
   situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
   Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
   series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
   faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
   data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
   dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
   certain userfaultfd operations.

 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series

	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable &gt;0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
   are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

 - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
   also. S390 is affected.

 - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
   "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

 - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
   series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
   Selftests".

 - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
   the individual changelogs for details.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     &amp; unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".

  Drivers:

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Add a new driver for Marvell's Octeon PCI Endpoint NIC VF.

         - optimize struct layout, saving 28% of memory on queues

   - Ethernet NICs embedded and virtual:
      - Google cloud vNIC:
         - refactor driver to perform memory allocations for new queue
           config before stopping and freeing the old queue memory
      - Synopsys (stmmac):
         - obey queueMaxSDU and implement counters required by 802.1Qbv

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     &amp; unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:

ioremap_page_range() should be used for ranges within vmalloc range only.
The vmalloc ranges are allocated by get_vm_area(). PCI has "resource"
allocator that manages PCI_IOBASE, IO_SPACE_LIMIT address range, hence
introduce vmap_page_range() to be used exclusively to map pages
in PCI address space.
