x86/coco: Define cc_vendor without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM
After commit a9ef277488cf ("x86/kvm: Fix SEV check in
sev_map_percpu_data()"), there is a build error when building
x86_64_defconfig with GCOV using LLVM:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: cc_vendor
>>> referenced by kvm.c
>>> arch/x86/kernel/kvm.o:(kvm_smp_prepare_boot_cpu) in archive vmlinux.a
which corresponds to
if (cc_vendor != CC_VENDOR_AMD ||
!cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT))
return;
Without GCOV, clang is able to eliminate the use of cc_vendor because
cc_platform_has() evaluates to false when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM is
not set, meaning that if statement will be true no matter what value
cc_vendor has.
With GCOV, the instrumentation keeps the use of cc_vendor around for
code coverage purposes but cc_vendor is only declared, not defined,
without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM, leading to the build error above.
Provide a macro definition of cc_vendor when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM
is not set with a value of CC_VENDOR_NONE, so that the first condition
can always be evaluated/eliminated at compile time, avoiding the build
error altogether. This is very similar to the situation prior to
commit da86eb961184 ("x86/coco: Get rid of accessor functions").

With default config, the value of NR_CPUS is 64. When HW platform has
more then 64 cpus, system will crash on these platforms. MAX_CORE_PIC
is the maximum cpu number in MADT table (max physical number) which can
exceed the supported maximum cpu number (NR_CPUS, max logical number),
but kernel should not crash. Kernel should boot cpus with NR_CPUS, let
the remainder cpus stay in BIOS.
The potential crash reason is that the array acpi_core_pic[NR_CPUS] can
be overflowed when parsing MADT table, and it is obvious that CORE_PIC
should be corresponding to physical core rather than logical core, so it
is better to define the array as acpi_core_pic[MAX_CORE_PIC].
With the patch, system can boot up 64 vcpus with qemu parameter -smp 128,
otherwise system will crash with the following message.

nfsd: don't take fi_lock in nfsd_break_deleg_cb()
A recent change to check_for_locks() changed it to take ->flc_lock while
holding ->fi_lock. This creates a lock inversion (reported by lockdep)
because there is a case where ->fi_lock is taken while holding
->flc_lock.
->flc_lock is held across ->fl_lmops callbacks, and
nfsd_break_deleg_cb() is one of those and does take ->fi_lock. However
it doesn't need to.
Prior to v4.17-rc1~110^2~22 ("nfsd: create a separate lease for each
delegation") nfsd_break_deleg_cb() would walk the ->fi_delegations list
and so needed the lock. Since then it doesn't walk the list and doesn't
need the lock.
Two actions are performed under the lock. One is to call
nfsd_break_one_deleg which calls nfsd4_run_cb(). These doesn't act on
the nfs4_file at all, so don't need the lock.
The other is to set ->fi_had_conflict which is in the nfs4_file.
This field is only ever set here (except when initialised to false)
so there is no possible problem will multiple threads racing when
setting it.
The field is tested twice in nfs4_set_delegation(). The first test does
not hold a lock and is documented as an opportunistic optimisation, so
it doesn't impose any need to hold ->fi_lock while setting
->fi_had_conflict.
The second test in nfs4_set_delegation() *is* make under ->fi_lock, so
removing the locking when ->fi_had_conflict is set could make a change.
The change could only be interesting if ->fi_had_conflict tested as
false even though nfsd_break_one_deleg() ran before ->fi_lock was
unlocked. i.e. while hash_delegation_locked() was running.
As hash_delegation_lock() doesn't interact in any way with nfs4_run_cb()
there can be no importance to this interaction.
So this patch removes the locking from nfsd_break_one_deleg() and moves
the final test on ->fi_had_conflict out of the locked region to make it
clear that locking isn't important to the test. It is still tested
*after* vfs_setlease() has succeeded. This might be significant and as
vfs_setlease() takes ->flc_lock, and nfsd_break_one_deleg() is called
under ->flc_lock this "after" is a true ordering provided by a spinlock.

bcachefs: install fd later to avoid race with close
Calling fd_install() makes a file reachable for userland, including the
possibility to close the file descriptor, which leads to calling its
'release' hook. If that happens before the code had a chance to bump the
reference of the newly created task struct, the release callback will
call put_task_struct() too early, leading to the premature destruction
of the kernel thread.
Avoid that race by calling fd_install() later, after all the setup is
done.

The touchpad is connected both via i2c-hid and PS/2, the predecessor of
this device (NS70MU) has the same layout in this regard and also strange
behaviour caused by the psmouse and the i2c-hid driver fighting over
touchpad control. This fix is reusing the same workaround by just

dm-crypt, dm-verity: disable tasklets
Tasklets have an inherent problem with memory corruption. The function
tasklet_action_common calls tasklet_trylock, then it calls the tasklet
callback and then it calls tasklet_unlock. If the tasklet callback frees
the structure that contains the tasklet or if it calls some code that may
free it, tasklet_unlock will write into free memory.
The commits 8e14f610159d and d9a02e016aaf try to fix it for dm-crypt, but
it is not a sufficient fix and the data corruption can still happen [1].
There is no fix for dm-verity and dm-verity will write into free memory
with every tasklet-processed bio.
There will be atomic workqueues implemented in the kernel 6.9 [2]. They
will have better interface and they will not suffer from the memory
corruption problem.
But we need something that stops the memory corruption now and that can be
backported to the stable kernels. So, I'm proposing this commit that
disables tasklets in both dm-crypt and dm-verity. This commit doesn't
remove the tasklet support, because the tasklet code will be reused when
atomic workqueues will be implemented.

The commit 2ad56efa80db ("powerpc/iommu: Setup a default domain and

set_platform_dma_ops(). It missed out the table group
release_ownership() call which would have got called otherwise
during the guest shutdown via vfio_group_detach_container(). On
PPC64, this particular call actually sets up the 32-bit TCE table,
and enables the 64-bit DMA bypass etc. Now after guest shutdown,
the subsequent host driver (e.g megaraid-sas) probe post unbind
from vfio-pci fails like,

Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC globally
It turns out it was never just gcc-11 that was broken. Apparently it
just happens to work on x86-64 with other gcc versions.
On arm64, I see warnings with gcc version 13.2.1, and the kernel test
robot reports the same problem on s390 with gcc 13.2.0.
Admittedly it seems to be just the new Xe drm driver, but this is
keeping me from doing my normal arm64 build testing. So it gets
reverted until somebody figures out what causes the problem (and why it
doesn't show on x86-64, which is what makes me suspect it was never just
about gcc-11, and more about just random happenstance).
This also changes the Kconfig naming a bit - just make the "disable this
for GCC" conditional be one simple Kconfig entry, and we can put the gcc
version dependencies in that entry once we figure out what the correct
rules are.
The version dependency _may_ still end up being "gcc version larger than
11" if the issue is purely in the Xe driver, but even if that ends up
the case, let's make that all part of the "GCC_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW"
logic.
For now, we just disable it for all gcc versions while the exact cause
is unknown.

cifs: failure to add channel on iface should bump up weight
After the interface selection policy change to do a weighted
round robin, each iface maintains a weight_fulfilled. When the
weight_fulfilled reaches the total weight for the iface, we know
that the weights can be reset and ifaces can be allocated from
scratch again.
During channel allocation failures on a particular channel,
weight_fulfilled is not incremented. If a few interfaces are
inactive, we could end up in a situation where the active
interfaces are all allocated for the total_weight, and inactive
ones are all that remain. This can cause a situation where
no more channels can be allocated further.
This change fixes it by increasing weight_fulfilled, even when
channel allocation failure happens. This could mean that if
there are temporary failures in channel allocation, the iface
weights may not strictly be adhered to. But that's still okay.

mptcp: fixes for recent issues reported by CI's
This series of 9 patches fixes issues mostly identified by CI's not
managed by the MPTCP maintainers. Thank you Linero (LKFT) and Netdev
maintainers (NIPA) for running our kunit and selftests tests!
For the first patch, it took a bit of time to identify the root cause.
Some MPTCP Join selftest subtests have been "flaky", mostly in slow
environments. It appears to be due to the use of a TCP-specific helper
on an MPTCP socket. A fix for kernels >= v5.15.
Patches 2 to 4 add missing kernel config to support NetFilter tables
needed for IPTables commands. These kconfigs are usually enabled in
default configurations, but apparently not for all architectures.
Patches 2 and 3 can be backported up to v5.11 and the 4th one up to
v5.19.
Patch 5 increases the time limit for MPTCP selftests. It appears that
many CI's execute tests in a VM without acceleration supports, e.g. QEmu
without KVM. As a result, the tests take longer. Plus, there are more
and more tests. This patch modifies the timeout added in v5.18.
Patch 6 reduces the maximum rate and delay of the different links in
some Simult Flows selftest subtests. The goal is to let slow VMs reach
the maximum speed. The original rate was introduced in v5.11.
Patch 7 lets CI changing the prefix of the subtests titles, to be able
to run the same selftest multiple times with different parameters. With
different titles, tests will be considered as different and not override
previous results as it is the case with some CI envs. Subtests have been
introduced in v6.6.
Patch 8 and 9 make some MPTCP Join selftest subtests quicker by stopping
the transfer when the expected events have been seen. Patch 8 can be
backported up to v6.5.
selftests: mptcp: join: stop transfer when check is done (part 2)
Since the "Fixes" commits mentioned below, the newly added "userspace
pm" subtests of mptcp_join selftests are launching the whole transfer in
the background, do the required checks, then wait for the end of
transfer.
There is no need to wait longer, especially because the checks at the
end of the transfer are ignored (which is fine). This saves quite a few
seconds on slow environments.
While at it, use 'mptcp_lib_kill_wait()' helper everywhere, instead of
on a specific one with 'kill_tests_wait()'.
selftests: mptcp: join: stop transfer when check is done (part 1)
Since the "Fixes" commit mentioned below, "userspace pm" subtests of
mptcp_join selftests introduced in v6.5 are launching the whole transfer
in the background, do the required checks, then wait for the end of
transfer.
There is no need to wait longer, especially because the checks at the
end of the transfer are ignored (which is fine). This saves quite a few
seconds in slow environments.
Note that old versions will need commit bdbef0a6ff10 ("selftests: mptcp:
add mptcp_lib_kill_wait") as well to get 'mptcp_lib_kill_wait()' helper.
If a CI executes the same selftest multiple times with different
options, all results from the same subtests will have the same title,
which confuse the CI. With the same title printed in TAP, the tests are
considered as the same ones.
Now, it is possible to override this prefix by using MPTCP_LIB_KSFT_TEST
env var, and have a different title.
While at it, use 'basename' to remove the suffix as well instead of
using an extra 'sed'.
When running the simult_flow selftest in slow environments -- e.g. QEmu
without KVM support --, the results can be unstable. This selftest
checks if the aggregated bandwidth is (almost) fully used as expected.
To help improving the stability while still keeping the same validation
in place, the BW and the delay are reduced to lower the pressure on the
CPU.
On very slow environments -- e.g. when QEmu is used without KVM --,
mptcp_join.sh selftest can take a bit more than 20 minutes. Bump the
default timeout by 50% as it seems normal to take that long on some
environments.
When a debug kernel config is used, this selftest will take even longer,
but that's certainly not a common test env to consider for the timeout.
The Fixes tag that has been picked here is there simply to help having
this patch backported to older stable versions. It is difficult to point
to the exact commit that made some env reaching the timeout from time to
time.

mptcp: fix data re-injection from stale subflow
When the MPTCP PM detects that a subflow is stale, all the packet
scheduler must re-inject all the mptcp-level unacked data. To avoid
acquiring unneeded locks, it first try to check if any unacked data
is present at all in the RTX queue, but such check is currently
broken, as it uses TCP-specific helper on an MPTCP socket.
Funnily enough fuzzers and static checkers are happy, as the accessed
memory still belongs to the mptcp_sock struct, and even from a
functional perspective the recovery completed successfully, as
the short-cut test always failed.
A recent unrelated TCP change - commit d5fed5addb2b ("tcp: reorganize
tcp_sock fast path variables") - exposed the issue, as the tcp field
reorganization makes the mptcp code always skip the re-inection.
Fix the issue dropping the bogus call: we are on a slow path, the early
optimization proved once again to be evil.
The directory link count in eventfs was somewhat bogus. It was only being
updated when a directory child was being looked up and not on creation.
One solution would be to update in get_attr() the link count by iterating
the ei->children list and then adding 2. But that could slow down simple
stat() calls, especially if it's done on all directories in eventfs.
Another solution would be to add a parent pointer to the eventfs_inode
and keep track of the number of sub directories it has on creation. But
this adds overhead for something not really worthwhile.
The solution decided upon is to keep all directory links in eventfs as 1.
This tells user space not to rely on the hard links of directories. Which
in this case it shouldn't.
