commit 964314344eab7bc43e38a32be281c5ea0609773b upstream.

If 'enable' parameter of the 'mtier' DAMON sample module is set at boot
time via the kernel command line, memory allocation is tried before the
slab is initialized.  As a result kernel NULL pointer dereference BUG can
happen.  Fix it by checking the initialization status.

commit 0ed1165c37277822b519f519d0982d36efc30006 upstream.

Patch series "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules".

From manual code review, I found below bugs in DAMON modules.

DAMON sample modules crash if those are enabled at boot time, via kernel
command line.  A similar issue was found and fixed on DAMON non-sample
modules in the past, but we didn't check that for sample modules.

DAMON non-sample modules are not setting 'enabled' parameters accordingly
when real enabling is failed.  Honggyu found and fixed[1] this type of
bugs in DAMON sample modules, and my inspection was motivated by the great
work.  Kudos to Honggyu.

Finally, DAMON_RECLIAM is mistakenly losing scheme internal status due to
misuse of damon_commit_ctx().  DAMON_LRU_SORT has a similar misuse, but
fortunately it is not causing real status loss.

Fix the bugs.  Since these are similar patterns of bugs that were found in
the past, it would be better to add tests or refactor the code, in future.


This patch (of 6):

If 'enable' parameter of the 'wsse' DAMON sample module is set at boot
time via the kernel command line, memory allocation is tried before the
slab is initialized.  As a result kernel NULL pointer dereference BUG can

The damon_sample_mtier_start() can fail so we must reset the "enable"
parameter to "false" again for proper rollback.

In such cases, setting Y to "enable" then N triggers the similar crash
with mtier because damon sample start failed but the "enable" stays as Y.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
   creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
   the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
   this.

 - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
   largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
   and better prepare us for future work.

 - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
   Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
   memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
   block size.

 - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
   Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
   sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
   compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
   memory consumption was dramatic.

 - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
   Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
   this part of our swap handling code.

 - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
   adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
   time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
   strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
   arguments, and syscall return value.

   This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
   branch, but I goofed.

 - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
   Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
   against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
   at the info about guard regions.

 - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
   implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
   validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.

 - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
   Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
   decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
   using more current facilities.

 - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
   Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
   code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
   enabled for ARM.

 - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
   ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
   it already is for user pgtables.

   This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
   to protect page tables". This change does result in various
   architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
   it is anticipated to occur.

 - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
   Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.

 - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
   been missing for 15 years.

 - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
   SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.

   Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
   batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
   was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
   load this particular operation.

 - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
   Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
   preallocation.

   stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
   the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
   reduced.

 - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
   a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.

 - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
   from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
   management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
   leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
   support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.

 - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
   from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
   eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
   for memory tiering.

 - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
   provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
   found via code inspection.

 - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
   changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
   possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
   cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
   settings to violated.

   This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
   certain classes of memory more consistently.

 - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
   pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
   in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.

 - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
   for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.

 - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
   Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
   for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.

   This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
   rather than file-backed folios.

 - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
   first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
   VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
   time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.

 - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
   and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
   ranges of invalid pfns.

 - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
   cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
   when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.

   Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.

 - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
   Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
   using JFS.

 - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
   appropriate mm/vma.c.

 - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
   provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
   function.

 - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.

 - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
   addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
   test_memcontrol selftest.

 - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
   of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().

   The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
   things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.

 - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
   the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

   This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
   NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.

 - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
   documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
   DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
   documents.

 - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
   stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
   charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

 - "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio
   instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the
   hugetlb code.

Pull trusted security manager (TSM) updates from Dan Williams:

 - Add a general sysfs scheme for publishing "Measurement" values
   provided by the architecture's TEE Security Manager. Use it to
   publish TDX "Runtime Measurement Registers" ("RTMRs") that either
   maintain a hash of stored values (similar to a TPM PCR) or provide
   statically provisioned data. These measurements are validated by a
   relying party.

 - Reorganize the drivers/virt/coco/ directory for "host" and "guest"
   shared infrastructure.

 - Fix a configfs-tsm-report unregister bug

 - With CONFIG_TSM_MEASUREMENTS joining CONFIG_TSM_REPORTS and in
   anticipation of more shared "TSM" infrastructure arriving, rename the
   maintainer entry to "TRUSTED SECURITY MODULE (TSM) INFRASTRUCTURE".

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
     data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.

   - Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
     under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
     faster.

   - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
     the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
     scalability.

   - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
     abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
     micro-benchmarks.

   - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
     performance improvement in related stream tests.

   - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
     prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
     on PREMPT_RT.

   - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
     verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.

  Netfilter:

   - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
     considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
     use this interface.

   - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
     flowtables.

   - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.

   - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
     introspection.

  BPF:

   - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
     programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
     using the "tc qdisc" command.

   - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
     WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.

  Protocols:

   - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
     upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
     single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.

   - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
     security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.

   - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
     matches the nexthop device.

   - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
     and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.

   - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
     distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
     organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
     in the fast path.

   - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.

  Driver API:

   - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
     the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
     unsupported flags.

   - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.

   - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
     dump operations targeting PHYs.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
     ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
     qdisc layer configuration.

   - Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
     known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
     netlink output.

   - Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.

   - Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
     the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
     user-space implementation.

   - Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

   - Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

   - AMD Renoir ethernet device.
