Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.
The lengthier patch series are
- 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling
- After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
the use of min_t() and max_t()
- A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly
fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
task_struct.thread_group"

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
is worth re-iterating the value:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
unneeded check for procname == NULL.
The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
might as well roll through the fixes now"

The code that checks for unknown boot options is unaware of the sysctl
alias facility, which maps bootparams to sysctl values. If a user sets
an old value that has a valid alias, a message about an invalid
parameter will be printed during boot, and the parameter will get passed
to init. Fix by checking for the existence of aliased parameters in the
unknown boot parameter code. If an alias exists, don't return an error
or pass the value to init.

Enabling CONFIG_KCSAN leads to unconverted, default return thunks to
remain after patching.
As David Kaplan describes in his debugging of the issue, it is caused by
a couple of KCSAN-generated constructors which aren't processed by
objtool:
"When KCSAN is enabled, GCC generates lots of constructor functions
named _sub_I_00099_0 which call __tsan_init and then return. The
returns in these are generally annotated normally by objtool and fixed
up at runtime. But objtool runs on vmlinux.o and vmlinux.o does not
include a couple of object files that are in vmlinux, like
init/version-timestamp.o and .vmlinux.export.o, both of which contain
_sub_I_00099_0 functions. As a result, the returns in these functions
are not annotated, and the panic occurs when we call one of them in
do_ctors and it uses the default return thunk.
This difference can be seen by counting the number of these functions in the object files:
$ objdump -d vmlinux.o|grep -c "<_sub_I_00099_0>:"
2601
$ objdump -d vmlinux|grep -c "<_sub_I_00099_0>:"
2603
If these functions are only run during kernel boot, there is no
speculation concern."
Fix it by disabling KCSAN on version-timestamp.o and .vmlinux.export.o
so the extra functions don't get generated. KASAN and GCOV are already
disabled for those files.

Given a wrong root device, current log may not give the pretty name
which is useful to locate root cause.
For example, there are 2 blk devs in a VM, /dev/vda which has 2 partitials
/dev/vda1 and /dev/vda2 and /dev/vdb which is blank. /dev/vda2 is the
right root dev. When set "root=/dev/vdb", we get error log:
[ 0.635575] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(254,16)
It's not straightforward to find out the root cause as there is lack of
the root devive name therefore hard for people to get those info from the
device number, in the example, (254,16).
It is more comprehensive way to hint the root cause if pretty name is
given here, like:
[ 0.559887] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on "/dev/vdb" or unknown-block(254,16)

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -errno
is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).

There has been a long standing page cache coherence bug with direct IO.
This provides part of a mechanism to fix it, currently just used by
bcachefs but potentially worth promoting to the VFS.
Direct IO evicts the range of the pagecache being read or written to.
For reads, we need dirty pages to be written to disk, so that the read
doesn't return stale data. For writes, we need to evict that range of
the pagecache so that it's not stale after the write completes.
However, without a locking mechanism to prevent those pages from being
re-added to the pagecache - by a buffered read or page fault - page
cache inconsistency is still possible.
This isn't necessarily just an issue for userspace when they're playing
games; filesystems may hang arbitrary state off the pagecache, and so
page cache inconsistency may cause real filesystem bugs, depending on
the filesystem. This is less of an issue for iomap based filesystems,
but e.g. buffer heads caches disk block mappings (!) and attaches them
to the pagecache, and bcachefs attaches disk reservations to pagecache
pages.
This issue has been hard to fix, because
- we need to add a lock (henceforth called pagecache_add_lock), which
would be held for the duration of the direct IO
- page faults add pages to the page cache, thus need to take the same
lock
- dio -> gup -> page fault thus can deadlock
And we cannot enforce a lock ordering with this lock, since userspace
will be controlling the lock ordering (via the fd and buffer arguments
to direct IOs), so we need a different method of deadlock avoidance.
We need to tell the page fault handler that we're already holding a
pagecache_add_lock, and since plumbing it through the entire gup() path
would be highly impractical this adds a field to task_struct.
Then the full method is:
- in the dio path, when we first take the pagecache_add_lock, note the
mapping in the current task_struct
- in the page fault handler, if faults_disabled_mapping is set, we
check if it's the same mapping as the one we're taking a page fault
for, and if so return an error.
Then we check lock ordering: if there's a lock ordering violation and
trylock fails, we'll have to cycle the locks and return an error that
tells the DIO path to retry: faults_disabled_mapping is also used for
signalling "locks were dropped, please retry".
Also relevant to this patch: mapping->invalidate_lock.
mapping->invalidate_lock provides most of the required semantics - it's
used by truncate/fallocate to block pages being added to the pagecache.
However, since it's a rwsem, direct IOs would need to take the write
side in order to block page cache adds, and would then be exclusive with
each other - we'll need a new type of lock to pair with this approach.

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
- Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes.
The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache
boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a
worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across
cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which
multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with
chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work
conservation too much.
Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of
execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are
supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings
can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of
sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs.
This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was
reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep
an eye out.
- Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms.
- workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by
workqueue can be constrained early during boot.
- Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning
if system-wide workqueues are flushed.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the
SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual
Deadline First") scheduler
EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight
and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only. It
completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption, picking
-- everything
LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF:
https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/
Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against a
fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and
the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task, over-scheduling is
less of a problem. A lot of the CFS heuristics are removed or
replaced by more natural latency-space parameters & constructs
In terms of expected performance regressions: we will and can fix
everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler,
but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion,
hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases, but
in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that got
lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench. We
are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance
regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations of
that process
- Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster
scheduling (again)
- Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems
- Improve bandwidth-throttling
- Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow

Patch series "refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options", v6.
The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from
various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec.
The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
located under "General Setup".
The following options are impacted:
- KEXEC
- KEXEC_FILE
- KEXEC_SIG
- KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
- KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_JUMP
- CRASH_DUMP
Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and
are very similar to one another, but with slight differences.
The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of
use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options):
- arm
- arm64
- ia64
- loongarch
- m68k
- mips
- parisc
- powerpc
- riscv
- s390
- sh
- x86
More information:
In the patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot
un/plug"
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503224145.7405-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/
the new kernel feature introduces the config option CRASH_HOTPLUG.
In reviewing, Thomas Gleixner requested that the new config option
not be placed in x86 Kconfig. Rather the option needs a generic/common
home. To Thomas' point, the KEXEC and CRASH options have largely been
duplicated in the various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files, with minor
differences. This kind of proliferation is to be avoid/stopped.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875y91yv63.ffs@tglx/
To that end, I have refactored the arch Kconfigs so as to consolidate
the various KEXEC and CRASH options. Generally speaking, this work has
the following themes:
- KEXEC and CRASH options are moved into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec
- These items from arch/Kconfig:
CRASH_CORE KEXEC_CORE KEXEC_ELF HAVE_IMA_KEXEC
- These items from arch/x86/Kconfig form the common options:
KEXEC KEXEC_FILE KEXEC_SIG KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG KEXEC_JUMP CRASH_DUMP
- These items from arch/arm64/Kconfig form the common options:
KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- The crash hotplug series appends CRASH_HOTPLUG to Kconfig.kexec
- The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
and is now listed in "General Setup" submenu from init/Kconfig.
- To control the common options, each has a new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>
option. These gateway options determine whether the common options
options are valid for the architecture.
- To account for the slight differences in the original architecture
coding of the common options, each now has a corresponding
ARCH_SELECTS_<option> which are used to elicit the same side effects
as the original arch/<arch>/Kconfig files for KEXEC and CRASH options.
An example, 'make menuconfig' illustrating the submenu:
> General setup > Kexec and crash features
[*] Enable kexec system call
[*] Enable kexec file based system call
[*] Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall
[ ] Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall
[ ] Enable bzImage signature verification support
[*] kexec jump
[*] kernel crash dumps
[*] Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes
In the process of consolidating the common options, I encountered
slight differences in the coding of these options in several of the
architectures. As a result, I settled on the following solution:
- Each of the common options has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>'
statement. For example, the KEXEC_FILE option has a 'depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE' statement.
This approach is needed on all common options so as to prevent
options from appearing for architectures which previously did
not allow/enable them. For example, arm supports KEXEC but not
KEXEC_FILE. The arch/arm/Kconfig does not provide
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE and so KEXEC_FILE and related options
are not available to arm.
- The boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> in effect allows the arch to
determine when the feature is allowed. Archs which don't have the
feature simply do not provide the corresponding ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>.
For each arch, where there previously were KEXEC and/or CRASH
options, these have been replaced with the corresponding boolean
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>, and an appropriate def_bool statement.
For example, if the arch supports KEXEC_FILE, then the
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE simply has a 'def_bool y'. This permits
the KEXEC_FILE option to be available.
If the arch has a 'depends on' statement in its original coding
of the option, then that expression becomes part of the def_bool
expression. For example, arm64 had:
config KEXEC
depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP
and in this solution, this converts to:
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool PM_SLEEP_SMP
- In order to account for the architecture differences in the
coding for the common options, the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> in the
arch/<arch>/Kconfig is used. This option has a 'depends on
<option>' statement to couple it to the main option, and from
there can insert the differences from the common option and the
arch original coding of that option.
For example, a few archs enable CRYPTO and CRYTPO_SHA256 for
KEXEC_FILE. These require a ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and
'select CRYPTO' and 'select CRYPTO_SHA256' statements.
Illustrating the option relationships:
For each of the common KEXEC and CRASH options:
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> <- <option> <- ARCH_SELECTS_<option>
<option> # in Kconfig.kexec
ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
ARCH_SELECTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
For example, KEXEC:
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC <- KEXEC <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC
KEXEC # in Kconfig.kexec
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

Testing Approach and Results
There are 388 config files in the arch/<arch>/configs directories.
For each of these config files, a .config is generated both before and
after this Kconfig series, and checked for equivalence. This approach
allows for a rather rapid check of all architectures and a wide
variety of configs wrt/ KEXEC and CRASH, and avoids requiring
compiling for all architectures and running kernels and run-time
testing.
For each config file, the olddefconfig, allnoconfig and allyesconfig
targets are utilized. In testing the randconfig has revealed problems
as well, but is not used in the before and after equivalence check
since one can not generate the "same" .config for before and after,
even if using the same KCONFIG_SEED since the option list is
different.
As such, the following script steps compare the before and after
of 'make olddefconfig'. The new symbols introduced by this series
are filtered out, but otherwise the config files are PASS only if
they were equivalent, and FAIL otherwise.
The script performs the test by doing the following:
# Obtain the "golden" .config output for given config file
# Reset test sandbox
git checkout master
git branch -D test_Kconfig
git checkout -B test_Kconfig master
make distclean
# Write out updated config
cp -f <config file> .config
make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
# Track each item in .config, LHSB is "golden"
scoreboard .config
# Obtain the "changed" .config output for given config file
# Reset test sandbox
make distclean
# Apply this Kconfig series
git am <this Kconfig series>
# Write out updated config
cp -f <config file> .config
make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
# Track each item in .config, RHSB is "changed"
scoreboard .config
# Determine test result
# Filter-out new symbols introduced by this series
# Filter-out symbol=n which not in either scoreboard
# Compare LHSB "golden" and RHSB "changed" scoreboards and issue PASS/FAIL
The script was instrumental during the refactoring of Kconfig as it
continually revealed problems. The end result being that the solution
presented in this series passes all configs as checked by the script,
with the following exceptions:
- arch/ia64/configs/zx1_config with olddefconfig
This config file has:
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
and this refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not
possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC.
- arch/sh/configs/* with allyesconfig
The arch/sh/Kconfig codes CRASH_DUMP as dependent upon BROKEN_ON_MMU
(which clearly is not meant to be set). This symbol is not provided
but with the allyesconfig it is set to yes which enables CRASH_DUMP.
But KEXEC is coded as dependent upon MMU, and is set to no in
arch/sh/mm/Kconfig, so KEXEC is not enabled.
This refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not
possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC.
While the above exceptions are not equivalent to their original,
the config file produced is valid (and in fact better wrt/ CRASH_DUMP
handling).
This patch (of 14)
The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated
into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu
is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and
crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor
type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu.
The following options are impacted:
- KEXEC
- KEXEC_FILE
- KEXEC_SIG
- KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
- KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
- KEXEC_JUMP
- CRASH_DUMP
The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP.
Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with
similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options.
Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config
options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled.
To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

All callers of show_mem() pass 0 and NULL, so we can remove the two
arguments by directly calling __show_mem(0, NULL, MAX_NR_ZONES - 1) in
show_mem().

Add an optional timeout arg to 'rootwait' as the maximum time in
seconds to wait for the root device to show up before attempting
forced mount of the root filesystem.
Use case:
In case of device mapper usage for the rootfs (e.g. root=/dev/dm-0),
if the mapper is not able to create the virtual block for any reason
(wrong arguments, bad dm-verity signature, etc), the `rootwait` param
causes the kernel to wait forever. It may however be desirable to only
wait for a given time and then panic (force mount) to cause device reset.
This gives the bootloader a chance to detect the problem and to take some
measures, such as marking the booted partition as bad (for A/B case) or
entering a recovery mode.
In success case, mounting happens as soon as the root device is ready,
unlike the existing 'rootdelay' parameter which performs an unconditional
pause.

During boot, to initialize unbound CPU pods, wq_pod_init() was called from
workqueue_init(). This is early enough for NUMA nodes to be set up but
before SMP is brought up and CPU topology information is populated.
Workqueue is in the process of improving CPU locality for unbound workqueues
and will need access to topology information during pod init. This adds a
new init function workqueue_init_topology() which is called after CPU
topology information is available and replaces wq_pod_init().
As unbound CPU pods are now initialized after workqueues are activated, we
need to revisit the workqueues to apply the pod configuration. Workqueues
which are created before workqueue_init_topology() are set up so that they
always use the default worker pool. After pods are set up in
workqueue_init_topology(), wq_update_pod() is called on all existing
workqueues to update the pool associations accordingly.
Note that wq_update_pod_attrs_buf allocation is moved to
workqueue_init_early(). This isn't necessary right now but enables further
generalization of pod handling in the future.
This patch changes the initialization sequence but the end result should be
the same.

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
the du tool for disk usage.
More information about these use cases could be found in the following
thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/
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
with an initrd (not that anyone should care).
Also factor parsing of the root name into a helper now that it can
be easily done and will get more complicated with subsequent patches.

The split_fs_names() function takes a names parameter, but the function
actually uses the root_fs_names global variable instead. This names
parameter is not used in the function, so it can be safely removed.
This change does not affect the functionality of split_fs_names() or any
other part of the kernel.
