Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:
Spatch:
    virtual patch

    @
    depends on !(file in "net")
    disable optional_qualifier
    @

    identifier table_name != {

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:

   - The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers

     posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
     signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
     delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.

     This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
     intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
     for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
     the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
     life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
     time rules.

     Cure this by:

       - Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
         life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
         the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
         always valid container_of() now.

       - Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.

       - Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
         signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.

       - Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
         signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
         delivery code to rearm the timer.

     This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
     are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
     scenarios finally succeed.

   - Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping

     This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
     stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
     attributes are actively observed via getattr().

     These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
     the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.

   - Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure

       - Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file

       - Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
         functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
         defines.

       - Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
         timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
         Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
         to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.

       - Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
         and fix up stale documentation links all over the place

       - Fixup a few usage sites

   - Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
     clocks

     A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
     seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
     considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
     that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
     various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).

     The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
     descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
     They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
     the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.

     As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
     provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.

     The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
     infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
     kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.

     Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
     converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
     which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
     static variables.

     This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
     for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.

   - Consolidate hrtimer initialization

     hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
     seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.

     That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
     straight forward than it should be.

     Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
     core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
     interfaces over.

     The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
     already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.

   - Drivers:

       - Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
         cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.

         Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
         clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
         other clusters.

       - Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

The comment suggests a hash or array approach to
store the active requests. Currently it iterates
through all the active requests and when found
deletes the requested request, in the linked list.
However io_cancel() isn’t a frequently used operation,
and optimizing it wouldn’t bring a substantial benefit
to real users and the increased complexity of maintaining
a hashtable for this would be significant and will slow
down other operation. Therefore remove this TODO
to avoid people spending time improving this.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
   Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
   These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

 - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
   reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
   mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
   bad.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
   folio_alloc_mpol()"

 - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
   "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
   of cgroup writeback"

 - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
   faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
   index".

 - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
   vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
   Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
   the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
   here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

 - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
   of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
   "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

 - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
   optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
   simplify code".

 - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
   fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
   the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".

 - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
   MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.

 - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
   has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

 - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
   zswap: trivial folio conversions".

 - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
   Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
   swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
   objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.

 - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
   calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
   fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.

 - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
   taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
   is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
   improvements in pagefault latency are realized.

 - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
   page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
   fs/proc/internal.h".

 - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
   "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

 - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
   "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

 - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
   Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
   and utilize them".

 - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
   reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
   common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.

   It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
   all CPUs are pegged.

 - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
   "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".

 - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
   thing.

 - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
   Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
   This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
   efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.

 - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
   Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
   function".

 - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
   David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
   modernizing its use of pageframe fields.

 - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
   page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".

 - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
   "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
   !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
   pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

 - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
   __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
   preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
   implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
   folio userspace copying.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
   and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
   with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.

 - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
   that.

 - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
   migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
   folio isolation + checks under PTL".

 - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
   the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
   readahead quirks".

 - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
   {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
   self testing code.

 - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
   code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
   by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.

 - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
   and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.

 - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
   code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
   Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
   under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
   data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"

 - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
   adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.

 - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
   permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
   excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
   monitor and handle this situation.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
   migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
   from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.

 - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
   does those things.

 - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
   Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
   utilization.

 - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
   pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
   bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
   they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.

 - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
   /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
   is "query VMAs from /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps".

 - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
   Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
   related to multisize THP splitting.

 - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
   without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
   userspace to use all available huge page sizes.

 - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
   injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
   not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Commit 2916ecc0f9d4 ("mm/migrate: new migrate mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY")
introduce a new MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode to allow to offload the copy to
a device DMA engine, which is only used __migrate_device_pages() to decide
whether or not copy the old page, and the MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode only
set in hmm, as the MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY set is removed by previous
cleanup, it seems that we could remove the unnecessary
MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY.

<title>fs: Initial atomic write support</title>

<content type='text'>
An atomic write is a write issued with torn-write protection, meaning
that for a power failure or any other hardware failure, all or none of the
data from the write will be stored, but never a mix of old and new data.

Userspace may add flag RWF_ATOMIC to pwritev2() to indicate that the
write is to be issued with torn-write prevention, according to special
alignment and length rules.

For any syscall interface utilizing struct iocb, add IOCB_ATOMIC for
iocb-&gt;ki_flags field to indicate the same.

A call to statx will give the relevant atomic write info for a file:
- atomic_write_unit_min
- atomic_write_unit_max
- atomic_write_segments_max

Both min and max values must be a power-of-2.

Applications can avail of atomic write feature by ensuring that the total
length of a write is a power-of-2 in size and also sized between
atomic_write_unit_min and atomic_write_unit_max, inclusive. Applications
must ensure that the write is at a naturally-aligned offset in the file
wrt the total write length. The value in atomic_write_segments_max
indicates the upper limit for IOV_ITER iovcnt.

Add file mode flag FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE, so files which do not have the
flag set will have RWF_ATOMIC rejected and not just ignored.

Add a type argument to kiocb_set_rw_flags() to allows reads which have
RWF_ATOMIC set to be rejected.

Helper function generic_atomic_write_valid() can be used by FSes to verify
compliant writes. There we check for iov_iter type is for ubuf, which
implies iovcnt==1 for pwritev2(), which is an initial restriction for
atomic_write_segments_max. Initially the only user will be bdev file
operations write handler. We will rely on the block BIO submission path to
ensure write sizes are compliant for the bdev, so we don't need to check
atomic writes sizes yet.
