<content type='text'>
This flag is only set by one single user: the magical core dumping code
that looks up user pages one by one, and then writes them out using
their kernel addresses (by using a BVEC_ITER).

That actually ends up being a huge problem, because while we do use
copy_mc_to_kernel() for this case and it is able to handle the possible
machine checks involved, nothing else is really ready to handle the
failures caused by the machine check.

In particular, as reported by Tong Tiangen, we don't actually support
fault_in_iov_iter_readable() on a machine check area.

As a result, the usual logic for writing things to a file under a
filesystem lock, which involves doing a copy with page faults disabled
and then if that fails trying to fault pages in without holding the
locks with fault_in_iov_iter_readable() does not work at all.

We could decide to always just make the MC copy "succeed" (and filling
the destination with zeroes), and that would then create a core dump
file that just ignores any machine checks.

But honestly, this single special case has been problematic before, and
means that all the normal iov_iter code ends up slightly more complex
and slower.

See for example commit c9eec08bac96 ("iov_iter: Don't deal with
iter-&gt;copy_mc in memcpy_from_iter_mc()") where David Howells
re-organized the code just to avoid having to check the 'copy_mc' flags
inside the inner iov_iter loops.

So considering that we have exactly one user, and that one user is a
non-critical special case that doesn't actually ever trigger in real
life (Tong found this with manual error injection), the sane solution is
to just decide that the onus on handling the machine check lines on that
user instead.

Ergo, do the copy_mc_to_kernel() in the core dump logic itself, copying
the user data to a stable kernel page before writing it out.

Commit b38460bc463c ("kunit: Fix checksum tests on big endian CPUs")
fixed endianness issues with kunit checksum tests, but then
commit 6f4c45cbcb00 ("kunit: Add tests for csum_ipv6_magic and
ip_fast_csum") introduced new issues on big endian CPUs. Those issues
are once again reflected by the warnings reported by sparse.

So, fix them with the same approach, perform proper conversion in
order to support both little and big endian CPUs. Once the conversions
are properly done and the right types used, the sparse warnings are
cleared as well.

<title>stackdepot: use variable size records for non-evictable entries</title>

<id>urn:sha1:31639fd6cebd4fc3687cceda14814f140c9fd95b</id>
<content type='text'>
With the introduction of stack depot evictions, each stack record is now
fixed size, so that future reuse after an eviction can safely store
differently sized stack traces.  In all cases that do not make use of
evictions, this wastes lots of space.

Fix it by re-introducing variable size stack records (up to the max
allowed size) for entries that will never be evicted.  We know if an entry
will never be evicted if the flag STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_GET is not provided,
since a later stack_depot_put() attempt is undefined behavior.

With my current kernel config that enables KASAN and also SLUB owner
tracking, I observe (after a kernel boot) a whopping reduction of 296
stack depot pools, which translates into 4736 KiB saved.  The savings here
are from SLUB owner tracking only, because KASAN generic mode still uses
refcounting.

Before:

  pools: 893
  allocations: 29841
  frees: 6524
  in_use: 23317
  freelist_size: 3454

After:

  pools: 597
  refcounted_allocations: 17547
  refcounted_frees: 6477
  refcounted_in_use: 11070
  freelist_size: 3497

The message in question matches this policy:

but because NLA_BE32 size in minlen array is 0, the validation
code will read past the malformed (too small) attribute.

Note: Other attributes, e.g. BITFIELD32, SINT, UINT.. are also missing:
those likely should be added too.

Trying to run the iov_iter unit test on a nommu system such as the qemu
kc705-nommu emulation results in a crash.

    KTAP version 1
    # Subtest: iov_iter
    # module: kunit_iov_iter
    1..9
BUG: failure at mm/nommu.c:318/vmap()!
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

The test calls vmap() directly, but vmap() is not supported on nommu
systems, causing the crash.  TEST_IOV_ITER therefore needs to depend on
MMU.

   - topology scheduling regression fix that has been reported by many

   - kobject loosening of checks change in -rc1 is now reverted as some
     codepaths seemed to need the checks

   - documentation update for the CVE process. Has been reviewed by
     many, the last minute change to the document was to bring the .rst

     change.

  All of these, except for the documentation update, have been in

  for weeks by a group of developers, and in public for a week and the

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix the #ifndef that didn't have the 'CONFIG_' prefix on
   HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS

   The fix to have dynamic trampolines work with x86 broke arm64 as the
   config used in the #ifdef was HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and not
   CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which removed the fix that the
   previous fix was to fix.

 - Fix tracing_on state

   The code to test if "tracing_on" is set incorrectly used
   ring_buffer_record_is_on() which returns false if the ring buffer
   isn't able to be written to.

   But the ring buffer disable has several bits that disable it. One is
   internal disabling which is used for resizing and other modifications
   of the ring buffer. But the "tracing_on" user space visible flag
   should only report if tracing is actually on and not internally
   disabled, as this can cause confusion as writing "1" when it is
   disabled will not enable it.

   Instead use ring_buffer_record_is_set_on() which shows the user space
   visible settings.

 - Fix a false positive kmemleak on saved cmdlines

   Now that the saved_cmdlines structure is allocated via alloc_page()
   and not via kmalloc() it has become invisible to kmemleak. The
   allocation done to one of its pointers was flagged as a dangling
   allocation leak. Make kmemleak aware of this allocation and free.

 - Fix synthetic event dynamic strings

   An update that cleaned up the synthetic event code removed the return
   value of trace_string(), and had it return zero instead of the
   length, causing dynamic strings in the synthetic event to always have
   zero size.

 - Clean up documentation and header files for seq_buf

There are plenty of issues with the kernel documentation here:
  - misspelled word "sequence"
  - different style of returned value descriptions
  - missed Return sections
  - unaligned style of ASCII / NUL-terminated / etc
  - wrong function references

Fix all these.
