Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook: - Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings, and fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by maintainers (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook) - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook) - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner overflow checking - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred() - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell) - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin Li) - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu) - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments * tag 'hardening-v6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: (31 commits) ksmbd: replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members hpet: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member um: virt-pci: Avoid GCC non-NULL warning signal: Initialize the info in ksignal lib: fortify_kunit: build without structleak plugin panic: Expose "warn_count" to sysfs panic: Introduce warn_limit panic: Consolidate open-coded panic_on_warn checks exit: Allow oops_limit to be disabled exit: Expose "oops_count" to sysfs exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops panic: Separate sysctl logic from CONFIG_SMP mm/pgtable: Fix multiple -Wstringop-overflow warnings mm: Make ksize() a reporting-only function kunit/fortify: Validate __alloc_size attribute results drm/sti: Fix return type of sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid() drm/fsl-dcu: Fix return type of fsl_dcu_drm_connector_mode_valid() driver core: Add __alloc_size hint to devm allocators overflow: Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() coredump: Proactively round up to kmalloc bucket size ...

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This was a not-too-busy cycle for documentation; highlights include: - The beginnings of a set of translations into Spanish, headed up by Carlos Bilbao - More Chinese translations - A change to the Sphinx "alabaster" theme by default for HTML generation. Unlike the previous default (Read the Docs), alabaster is shipped with Sphinx by default, reducing the number of other dependencies that need to be installed. It also (IMO) produces a cleaner and more readable result. - The ability to render the documentation into the texinfo format (something Sphinx could always do, we just never wired it up until now) Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, build-warning fixes, and minor updates" * tag 'docs-6.2' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (67 commits) Documentation/features: Use loongarch instead of loong Documentation/features-refresh.sh: Only sed the beginning "arch" of ARCH_DIR docs/zh_CN: Fix '.. only::' directive's expression docs/sp_SP: Add memory-barriers.txt Spanish translation docs/zh_CN/LoongArch: Update links of LoongArch ISA Vol1 and ELF psABI docs/LoongArch: Update links of LoongArch ISA Vol1 and ELF psABI Documentation/features: Update feature lists for 6.1 Documentation: Fixed a typo in bootconfig.rst docs/sp_SP: Add process coding-style translation docs/sp_SP: Add kernel-docs.rst Spanish translation docs: Create translations/sp_SP/process/, move submitting-patches.rst docs: Add book to process/kernel-docs.rst docs: Retire old resources from kernel-docs.rst docs: Update maintainer of kernel-docs.rst Documentation: riscv: Document the sv57 VM layout Documentation: USB: correct possessive "its" usage math64: fix kernel-doc return value warnings math64: add kernel-doc for DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP math64: favor kernel-doc from header files doc: add texinfodocs and infodocs targets ...

math64: favor kernel-doc from header files

2022-11-21T21:30:53Z

Fix the kernel-doc markings for div64 functions to point to the header file instead of the lib/ directory. This avoids having implementation specific comments in generic documentation. Furthermore, given that some kernel-doc comments are identical, drop them from lib/math64 and only keep there comments that add implementation details.

string: Rewrite and add more kern-doc for the str*() functions

2022-10-28T23:07:57Z

While there were varying degrees of kern-doc for various str*()-family functions, many needed updating and clarification, or to just be entirely written. Update (and relocate) existing kern-doc and add missing functions, sadly shaking my head at how many times I have written "Do not use this function". Include the results in the core kernel API doc.

overflow: Fix kern-doc markup for functions

2022-10-25T21:57:42Z

Fix the kern-doc markings for several of the overflow helpers and move their location into the core kernel API documentation, where it belongs (it's not driver-specific).

Pull iomap updates from Matthew Wilcox: "Convert xfs/iomap to use folios. This should be all that is needed for XFS to use large folios. There is no code in this pull request to create large folios, but no additional changes should be needed to XFS or iomap once they are created. Usually this would have come from Darrick, and we had intended that it would come that route. Between the holidays and various things which Darrick needed to work on, he asked if I could send things directly.
