Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

Introduce hv_deposit_memory_node() and hv_deposit_memory() helper
functions to handle memory deposit with proper error handling.

The new hv_deposit_memory_node() function takes the hypervisor status
as a parameter and validates it before depositing pages. It checks for
HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY specifically and returns an error for
unexpected status codes.

This is a precursor patch to new out-of-memory error codes support.
No functional changes intended.

Replace direct comparisons of hv_result(status) against
HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY with a new hv_result_needs_memory() helper
function.

This improves code readability and provides a consistent and extendable
interface for checking out-of-memory conditions in hypercall results.

   consolidates a pile of straggly code related to reservation of
   hugetlb memory from bootmem and creation of CMA areas for hugetlb
   (Mike Rapoport)

 - "mm: clean up anon_vma implementation" cleans up the anon_vma
   implementation in various ways (Lorenzo Stoakes)

 - "tweaks for __alloc_pages_slowpath()" does a little streamlining of
   the page allocator's slowpath code (Vlastimil Babka)

Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "x86 PMU driver updates:

   - Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
     (Dapeng Mi)

     Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
     a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:

      - Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
        Off-Core Response (OCR) facility

      - New PEBS data source encoding layout

      - Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature

   - Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
     Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)

     This centers around these four main areas:

      - DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
        separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
        die has its own discovery domain.

      - Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
        portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
        discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.

      - DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
        PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.

      - IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.

   - Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
     and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
     (Zide Chen)

   - KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
     Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
     Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)

   - Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs,
     which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)

   - Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
     (aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
     Airmont code (Martin Schiller)

  Performance enhancements:

   - Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls
     (Jan H. Schönherr)

   - Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)

  User-space stack unwinding support:

   - Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the
     unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus)

  Uprobes updates:

   - Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)

   - Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)

   - Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)

  Misc fixes and cleanups:

   - s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)

   - x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)

   - x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Support associating BPF program with struct_ops (Amery Hung)

 - Switch BPF local storage to rqspinlock and remove recursion detection
   counters which were causing false positives (Amery Hung)

 - Fix live registers marking for indirect jumps (Anton Protopopov)

 - Introduce execution context detection BPF helpers (Changwoo Min)

 - Improve verifier precision for 32bit sign extension pattern
   (Cupertino Miranda)

 - Optimize BTF type lookup by sorting vmlinux BTF and doing binary
   search (Donglin Peng)

 - Allow states pruning for misc/invalid slots in iterator loops (Eduard
   Zingerman)

 - In preparation for ASAN support in BPF arenas teach libbpf to move
   global BPF variables to the end of the region and enable arena kfuncs
   while holding locks (Emil Tsalapatis)

 - Introduce support for implicit arguments in kfuncs and migrate a
   number of them to new API. This is a prerequisite for cgroup
   sub-schedulers in sched-ext (Ihor Solodrai)

 - Fix incorrect copied_seq calculation in sockmap (Jiayuan Chen)

 - Fix ORC stack unwind from kprobe_multi (Jiri Olsa)

 - Speed up fentry attach by using single ftrace direct ops in BPF
   trampolines (Jiri Olsa)

 - Require frozen map for calculating map hash (KP Singh)

 - Fix lock entry creation in TAS fallback in rqspinlock (Kumar
   Kartikeya Dwivedi)

 - Allow user space to select cpu in lookup/update operations on per-cpu
   array and hash maps (Leon Hwang)

 - Make kfuncs return trusted pointers by default (Matt Bobrowski)

 - Introduce "fsession" support where single BPF program is executed
   upon entry and exit from traced kernel function (Menglong Dong)

 - Allow bpf_timer and bpf_wq use in all programs types (Mykyta
   Yatsenko, Andrii Nakryiko, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Alexei
   Starovoitov)

 - Make KF_TRUSTED_ARGS the default for all kfuncs and clean up their
   definition across the tree (Puranjay Mohan)

 - Allow BPF arena calls from non-sleepable context (Puranjay Mohan)

 - Improve register id comparison logic in the verifier and extend
   linked registers with negative offsets (Puranjay Mohan)

 - In preparation for BPF-OOM introduce kfuncs to access memcg events
   (Roman Gushchin)

 - Use CFI compatible destructor kfunc type (Sami Tolvanen)

 - Add bitwise tracking for BPF_END in the verifier (Tianci Cao)

 - Add range tracking for BPF_DIV and BPF_MOD in the verifier (Yazhou
   Tang)

 - Make BPF selftests work with 64k page size (Yonghong Song)
