Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

This reverts commit 96e51ccf1af33e82f429a0d6baebba29c6448d0f.
Recently we started running the kernel with rstat infrastructure on
production traffic and begin to see negative memcg stats values.
Particularly the 'sock' stat is the one which we observed having negative
value.
$ grep "sock " /mnt/memory/job/memory.stat
sock 253952
total_sock 18446744073708724224
Re-run after couple of seconds
$ grep "sock " /mnt/memory/job/memory.stat
sock 253952
total_sock 53248
For now we are only seeing this issue on large machines (256 CPUs) and
only with 'sock' stat. I think the networking stack increase the stat on
one cpu and decrease it on another cpu much more often. So, this negative
sock is due to rstat flusher flushing the stats on the CPU that has seen
the decrement of sock but missed the CPU that has increments. A typical
race condition.
For easy stable backport, revert is the most simple solution. For long
term solution, I am thinking of two directions. First is just reduce the
race window by optimizing the rstat flusher. Second is if the reader sees
a negative stat value, force flush and restart the stat collection.
Basically retry but limited.

zsmalloc() now returns ERR_PTR values as handles, which zram accidentally
can pass to zs_free(). Another bad scenario is when zcomp_compress()
fails - handle has default -ENOMEM value, and zs_free() will try to free
that "pointer value".
Add the missing check and make sure that zs_free() bails out when
ERR_PTR() is passed to it.

Take the mmap_read_lock() when using the VMA in binder_alloc_print_pages()
and when checking for a VMA in binder_alloc_new_buf_locked().
It is worth noting binder_alloc_new_buf_locked() drops the VMA read lock
after it verifies a VMA exists, but may be taken again deeper in the call
stack, if necessary.

The below referenced commit makes the same error as 1c563432588d ("mm: fix
is_pinnable_page against a cma page"), re-interpreting the logic to
exclude pinning of the zero page, which breaks device assignment with
vfio.
To avoid further subtle mistakes, split the logic into discrete tests.

The rest of the kallsyms symbols are useless without knowing the number of

kallsyms_num_syms symbol, so add it back in.

When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further
writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete. However,
wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after
this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the
just freed bdi_writeback.
Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when
scheduling writeback work.
Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get
called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

If we allocate a new page, we need to make sure that our folio matches
that new page.
If we do end up in this code path, we store the wrong page in the shmem
inode's page cache, and I would rather imagine that data corruption
ensues.
This will be solved by changing shmem_replace_page() to
shmem_replace_folio(), but this is the minimal fix.

In MCOPY_ATOMIC_CONTINUE case with a non-shared VMA, pages in the page
cache are installed in the ptes. But hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap is called
for them mistakenly because they're not vm_shared. This will corrupt the
page->mapping used by page cache code.

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
"Some interesting background to the current patchset:
It turned out that the fldw instruction (which loads a 32-bit word
from memory into one half of a FP register) failed on unaligned
addresses and even trashed some other random FP register instead. It's
a trivial one-liner fix in the exception handler but this failure
dates back to the very beginnings of the parisc-port. It's strange
that it was never noticed before.
Another patch fixes an annoyance noticed by Randy Dunlap. Running
"make ARCH=parisc64 randconfig" always returned a 32-bit config,
although one would expect a 64-bit config. Masahiro Yamada suggested
to mimik sparc Kconfig code, which fixed the issue nicely. This
allowed to drop some compiler build checks too.
Third, it's possible to build an optimized 32-bit kernel for PA8X00
(64-bit) CPUs, which then wouldn't start on 32-bit-only (PA1.x)
machines. I've added a bootup check which prevents that and which
prints a message to the console. This can be tested with qemu, which
currently only supports 32-bit emulation.
The other patches are usual clean-up stuff like added return value
checks and typo fixes in comments.
Summary:
- Fix emulation of fldw instruction on unaligned addresses
- Fix "make ARCH=parisc64 randconfig" to return a 64-bit config
- Prevent boot if trying to boot a 32-bit kernel compiled for PA8X00
CPUs on 32-bit only machines
