Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Introduce '__attribute__((bpf_fastcall))' for helpers and kfuncs with
   corresponding support in LLVM.

   It is similar to existing 'no_caller_saved_registers' attribute in
   GCC/LLVM with a provision for backward compatibility. It allows
   compilers generate more efficient BPF code assuming the verifier or
   JITs will inline or partially inline a helper/kfunc with such
   attribute. bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx, bpf_rdonly_cast,
   bpf_get_smp_processor_id are the first set of such helpers.

 - Harden and extend ELF build ID parsing logic.

   When called from sleepable context the relevants parts of ELF file
   will be read to find and fetch .note.gnu.build-id information. Also
   harden the logic to avoid TOCTOU, overflow, out-of-bounds problems.

 - Improvements and fixes for sched-ext:
    - Allow passing BPF iterators as kfunc arguments
    - Make the pointer returned from iter_next method trusted
    - Fix x86 JIT convergence issue due to growing/shrinking conditional
      jumps in variable length encoding

 - BPF_LSM related:
    - Introduce few VFS kfuncs and consolidate them in
      fs/bpf_fs_kfuncs.c
    - Enforce correct range of return values from certain LSM hooks
    - Disallow attaching to other LSM hooks

 - Prerequisite work for upcoming Qdisc in BPF:
    - Allow kptrs in program provided structs
    - Support for gen_epilogue in verifier_ops

 - Important fixes:
    - Fix uprobe multi pid filter check
    - Fix bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers
    - Track equal scalars history on per-instruction level
    - Fix tailcall hierarchy on x86 and arm64
    - Fix signed division overflow to prevent INT_MIN/-1 trap on x86
    - Fix get kernel stack in BPF progs attached to tracepoint:syscall

 - Selftests:
    - Add uprobe bench/stress tool
    - Generate file dependencies to drastically improve re-build time
    - Match JIT-ed and BPF asm with __xlated/__jited keywords
    - Convert older tests to test_progs framework
    - Add support for RISC-V
    - Few fixes when BPF programs are compiled with GCC-BPF backend
      (support for GCC-BPF in BPF CI is ongoing in parallel)
    - Add traffic monitor
    - Enable cross compile and musl libc

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel

       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the

<title>kbuild: generate offset range data for builtin modules</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5f5e7344322f0b0676579af054c787ed57d1c1df</id>
<content type='text'>
Create file module.builtin.ranges that can be used to find where
built-in modules are located by their addresses. This will be useful for
tracing tools to find what functions are for various built-in modules.

The offset range data for builtin modules is generated using:
 - modules.builtin: associates object files with module names
 - vmlinux.map: provides load order of sections and offset of first member
    per section
 - vmlinux.o.map: provides offset of object file content per section
 - .*.cmd: build cmd file with KBUILD_MODFILE

The generated data will look like:

.text 00000000-00000000 = _text
.text 0000baf0-0000cb10 amd_uncore
.text 0009bd10-0009c8e0 iosf_mbi
...
.text 00b9f080-00ba011a intel_skl_int3472_discrete
.text 00ba0120-00ba03c0 intel_skl_int3472_discrete intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
.text 00ba03c0-00ba08d6 intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
...
.data 00000000-00000000 = _sdata
.data 0000f020-0000f680 amd_uncore

For each ELF section, it lists the offset of the first symbol.  This can
be used to determine the base address of the section at runtime.

Next, it lists (in strict ascending order) offset ranges in that section
that cover the symbols of one or more builtin modules.  Multiple ranges
can apply to a single module, and ranges can be shared between modules.

The CONFIG_BUILTIN_MODULE_RANGES option controls whether offset range data
is generated for kernel modules that are built into the kernel image.

How it works:

 1. The modules.builtin file is parsed to obtain a list of built-in
    module names and their associated object names (the .ko file that
    the module would be in if it were a loadable module, hereafter
    referred to as &lt;kmodfile&gt;).  This object name can be used to
    identify objects in the kernel compile because any C or assembler
    code that ends up into a built-in module will have the option
    -DKBUILD_MODFILE=&lt;kmodfile&gt; present in its build command, and those
    can be found in the .&lt;obj&gt;.cmd file in the kernel build tree.

    If an object is part of multiple modules, they will all be listed
    in the KBUILD_MODFILE option argument.

    This allows us to conclusively determine whether an object in the
    kernel build belong to any modules, and which.

 2. The vmlinux.map is parsed next to determine the base address of each
    top level section so that all addresses into the section can be
    turned into offsets.  This makes it possible to handle sections
    getting loaded at different addresses at system boot.

    We also determine an 'anchor' symbol at the beginning of each
    section to make it possible to calculate the true base address of
    a section at runtime (i.e. symbol address - symbol offset).

    We collect start addresses of sections that are included in the top
    level section.  This is used when vmlinux is linked using vmlinux.o,
    because in that case, we need to look at the vmlinux.o linker map to
    know what object a symbol is found in.

    And finally, we process each symbol that is listed in vmlinux.map
    (or vmlinux.o.map) based on the following structure:

    vmlinux linked from vmlinux.a:

      vmlinux.map:
        &lt;top level section&gt;
          &lt;included section&gt;  -- might be same as top level section)
            &lt;object&gt;          -- built-in association known
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
              ...

    vmlinux linked from vmlinux.o:

      vmlinux.map:
        &lt;top level section&gt;
          &lt;included section&gt;  -- might be same as top level section)
            vmlinux.o         -- need to use vmlinux.o.map
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- ignored
              ...

      vmlinux.o.map:
        &lt;section&gt;
            &lt;object&gt;          -- built-in association known
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
              ...

 3. As sections, objects, and symbols are processed, offset ranges are
    constructed in a straight-forward way:

      - If the symbol belongs to one or more built-in modules:
          - If we were working on the same module(s), extend the range
            to include this object
          - If we were working on another module(s), close that range,
            and start the new one
      - If the symbol does not belong to any built-in modules:
          - If we were working on a module(s) range, close that range

   - use special allocator for rcu_scale_writer()
   - NULL out top-level pointers to heap memory to avoid double-free
     bugs on modprobe failures

Patch series "resource: Fix region_intersects() vs
add_memory_driver_managed()", v3.

The patchset fixes a bug of region_intersects() for systems with CXL
memory.  The details of the bug can be found in [1/3].  To avoid similar
bugs in the future.  A kunit test case for region_intersects() is added in
[3/3].  [2/3] is a preparation patch for [3/3].


This patch (of 3):

region_intersects() is important because it's used for /dev/mem permission
checking.  To avoid possible bug of region_intersects() in the future, a
kunit test case for region_intersects() is added.
