Pull non-mm updates from Andrew Morton:
- Arnd Bergmann has fixed a bunch of -Wmissing-prototypes in top-level
directories
- Douglas Anderson has added a new "buddy" mode to the hardlockup
detector. It permits the detector to work on architectures which
cannot provide the required interrupts, by having CPUs periodically
perform checks on other CPUs
- Zhen Lei has enhanced kexec's ability to support two crash regions
- Petr Mladek has done a lot of cleanup on the hard lockup detector's
Kconfig entries
- And the usual bunch of singleton patches in various places

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molar:
"Build footprint & performance improvements:
- Reduce memory usage with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
In the worst case of an allyesconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y kernel,
DWARF creates almost 200 million relocations, ballooning objtool's
peak heap usage to 53GB. These patches reduce that to 25GB.
On a distro-type kernel with kernel IBT enabled, they reduce
objtool's peak heap usage from 4.2GB to 2.8GB.
These changes also improve the runtime significantly.
Debuggability improvements:
- Add the unwind_debug command-line option, for more extend unwinding
debugging output
- Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
- Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
- Include backtrace in verbose mode
- Detect missing __noreturn annotations
- Ignore exc_double_fault() __noreturn warnings
- Remove superfluous global_noreturns entries
- Move noreturn function list to separate file
- Add __kunit_abort() to noreturns
Unwinder improvements:
- Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions

Pull x86 boot updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Initialize FPU late.
Right now FPU is initialized very early during boot. There is no real
requirement to do so. The only requirement is to have it done before
alternatives are patched.
That's done in check_bugs() which does way more than what the function
name suggests.
So first rename check_bugs() to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which makes
it clear what this is about.
Move the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier in
start_kernel() as it has to be done before fork_init() which needs to
know the FPU register buffer size.
With those prerequisites the FPU initialization can be moved into
arch_cpu_finalize_init(), which removes it from the early and fragile
part of the x86 bringup"

With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to
each object file, and the functions are indirectly called during
boot. However, when code is injected to object files that are not
part of vmlinux.o, it's also not processed by objtool, which breaks
CFI hash randomization as the hashes in these files won't be
included in the .cfi_sites section and thus won't be randomized.
Similarly to commit 42633ed852de ("kbuild: Fix CFI hash
randomization with KASAN"), disable GCOV for .vmlinux.export.o and
init/version-timestamp.o to avoid emitting unnecessary functions to
object files that don't otherwise have executable code.

X86 is reworking the boot process so that initializations which are not
required during early boot can be moved into the late boot process and out
of the fragile and restricted initial boot phase.
arch_cpu_finalize_init() is the obvious place to do such initializations,
but arch_cpu_finalize_init() is invoked too late in start_kernel() e.g. for
initializing the FPU completely. fork_init() requires that the FPU is
initialized as the size of task_struct on X86 depends on the size of the
required FPU register buffer.
Fortunately none of the init calls between calibrate_delay() and
arch_cpu_finalize_init() is relevant for the functionality of
arch_cpu_finalize_init().
Invoke it right after calibrate_delay() where everything which is relevant
for arch_cpu_finalize_init() has been set up already.
No functional change intended.

check_bugs() has become a dumping ground for all sorts of activities to
finalize the CPU initialization before running the rest of the init code.
Most are empty, a few do actual bug checks, some do alternative patching
and some cobble a CPU advertisement string together....
Aside of that the current implementation requires duplicated function
declaration and mostly empty header files for them.
Provide a new function arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Provide a generic
declaration if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_FINALIZE_INIT is selected and a stub
inline otherwise.
This requires a temporary #ifdef in start_kernel() which will be removed
along with check_bugs() once the architectures are converted over.

There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file
sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.
Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or
direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the
index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page
cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for
more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and
batching when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to

This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a
given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat_range {
__u64 off;
__u64 len;
};
struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range,
struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.
An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported.
Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it
but before it returns to the application, the returned values may
contain stale information.
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address.
EINVAL invalid flags.
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file

name_to_dev_t has a very misleading name, that doesn't make clear
it should only be used by the early init code, and also has a bad
calling convention that doesn't allow returning different kinds of
errors. Rename it to early_lookup_bdev to make the use case clear,
and return an errno, where -EINVAL means the string could not be
parsed, and -ENODEV means it the string was valid, but there was
no device found for it.
Also stub out the whole call for !CONFIG_BLOCK as all the non-block
root cases are always covered in the caller.

Assign a Root_Generic magic value for UBI/MTD root and handle the root
mounting in mount_root like all other root types. Besides making the
code more clear this also means that UBI/MTD root can be used together

Also factor parsing of the root name into a helper now that it can

prevent_tail_call_optimization() was added in
commit a9a3ed1eff36 ("x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try")
to work around stack canaries getting inserted into functions that would
initialize the stack canary in the first place.
Now that we have no_stack_protector function attribute (gcc-11+,
clang-7+) and use it on start_kernel(), remove the call to
prevent_tail_call_optimization() such that we may one day remove it
outright.

Back during the discussion of
commit a9a3ed1eff36 ("x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try")
we discussed the need for a function attribute to control the omission
of stack protectors on a per-function basis; at the time Clang had
support for no_stack_protector but GCC did not. This was fixed in
gcc-11. Now that the function attribute is available, let's start using
it.
Callers of boot_init_stack_canary need to use this function attribute
unless they're compiled with -fno-stack-protector, otherwise the canary
stored in the stack slot of the caller will differ upon the call to
boot_init_stack_canary. This will lead to a call to __stack_chk_fail()
then panic.

Pull user work thread updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work generalizing the ability to create a kernel
worker from a userspace process.
Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace
process they were created from providing stronger security and
accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach
ever could've hoped for.
The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of
io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out
the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a
userspace process is generally useful.
The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api.
The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work
correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs
where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of
the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created.
Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the
userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition,
providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For
example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user
workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually
ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used.
So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism
as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for
create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers:
- Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task
is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a
userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized
version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags.
- Make copy_process() available to core kernel code
- Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields
allowing to indicate to copy_process():
- to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER)
- to not inherit any files from the userspace process
- to ignore signals
After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements
a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is
switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.
Thanks to Mike for sticking it out and making it through this rather
arduous journey"

We started disabling '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-12 originally on s390,
because it resulted in some warnings that weren't realistically fixable
(commit 8b202ee21839: "s390: disable -Warray-bounds").
That s390-specific issue was then found to be less common elsewhere, but
generic (see f0be87c42cbd: "gcc-12: disable '-Warray-bounds' universally
for now"), and then later expanded the version check was expanded to
gcc-11 (5a41237ad1d4: "gcc: disable -Warray-bounds for gcc-11 too").
And it turns out that I was much too optimistic in thinking that it's
all going to go away, and here we are with gcc-13 showing all the same
issues. So instead of expanding this one version at a time, let's just
disable it for gcc-11+, and put an end limit to it only when we actually
find a solution.
Yes, I'm sure some of this is because the kernel just does odd things
(like our "container_of()" use, but also knowingly playing games with
things like linker tables and array layouts).
And yes, some of the warnings are likely signs of real bugs, but when
there are hundreds of false positives, that doesn't really help.
Oh well.

Forwarding variadic argument lists can't be done by passing a va_list
to a function with signature foo(...) (as panic() has). It ends up
interpreting the va_list itself as a single argument instead of
iterating it. printf() happily accepts it of course, leading to corrupt
output.
Convert panic_show_mem() to a macro to allow forwarding the arguments.

When deferred initialization of struct pages is enabled, page_ext_init()
must be called after all the deferred initialization is done, but there is
no point to keep it a separate call from kernel_init_freeable() right
after page_alloc_init_late().
Fold the call to page_ext_init() into page_alloc_init_late() and localize
deferred_struct_pages variable.

Both build_all_zonelists() and page_alloc_init_cpuhp() must be called
after SMP setup is complete but before the page allocator is set up.
Still, they both are a part of memory management initialization, so move
them to mm_init().

The page_alloc_init() name is really misleading because all this function
does is sets up CPU hotplug callbacks for the page allocator.
Rename it to page_alloc_init_cpuhp() so that name will reflect what the
function does.

A series by myself to remove CONFIG_SLOB:
The SLOB allocator was deprecated in 6.2 and there have been no
complaints so far so let's proceed with the removal.
Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing
kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects, which
was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had no
kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be necessary
anymore.
Otherwise it's all straightforward removal. After this series, 'git grep
slob' or 'git grep SLOB' will have 3 remaining relevant hits in non-mm
code:
- tomoyo - patch submitted and carried there, doesn't need to wait for
this series
- skbuff - patch to cleanup now-unnecessary #ifdefs will be posted to
netdev after this is merged, as requested to avoid conflicts
- ftrace ring_buffer - patch to remove obsolete comment is carried there
The rest of 'git grep SLOB' hits are false positives, or intentional
(CREDITS, and mm/Kconfig SLUB_TINY description to help those that will
happen to migrate later).

CONFIG_SLOB, and mm/slob.c is now dead code.

Full Hyper-V initialization, including support for hypercalls, is done
as an apic_post_init callback via late_time_init(). mem_encrypt_init()
needs to make hypercalls when it marks swiotlb memory as decrypted.
But mem_encrypt_init() is currently called a few lines before
late_time_init(), so the hypercalls don't work.
Fix this by moving mem_encrypt_init() after late_time_init() and
related clock initializations. The intervening initializations don't
do any I/O that requires the swiotlb, so moving mem_encrypt_init()
slightly later has no impact.

Change no bootconfig data error message if user do not specify 'bootconfig'
option but CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE=y.
With CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE=y, the kernel proceeds bootconfig check even
if user does not specify 'bootconfig' option. So the current error message
is confusing. Let's show just an information message to notice skipping
the bootconfig in that case.
