Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic()
callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.
It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org
Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI
context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ
context:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35
In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
ownership in the middle of a record
- Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB
- Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
possible
- Misc code clean up

All consoles found on for_each_console are registered, meaning that all
of them have the CON_ENABLED flag set. Since NBCON was introduced it's
important to check if a given console also implements the NBCON callbacks.
The function console_is_usable does exactly that.

Add initial symmetric multi-processing (SMP) support to UML. With
this support enabled, users can tell UML to start multiple virtual
processors, each represented as a separate host thread.
In UML, kthreads and normal threads (when running in kernel mode)
can be scheduled and executed simultaneously on different virtual
processors. However, the userspace code of normal threads still
runs within their respective single-threaded stubs.
That is, SMP support is currently available both within the kernel
and across different processes, but still remains limited within
threads of the same process in userspace.

With SMP and NO_HZ enabled, the CPU may still need to sleep even
if the timer is disarmed. Switch to deciding whether to sleep based
on pending resched. Additionally, because disabling IRQs does not
block SIGALRM, it is also necessary to check for any pending timer
alarms. This is a preparation for adding SMP support.

Currently, initial_thread_cb() temporarily disables kmalloc when
it invokes the callback, allowing the callback to bypass kmalloc.
This is unnecessary for the current users of initial_thread_cb(),
and we should avoid memory allocations that are not under the
control of the UML kernel. Therefore, let's stop temporarily
disabling kmalloc in initial_thread_cb().

The file-based iomem emulation was introduced to support writing
paravirtualized drivers based on emulated iomem regions. However,
the only driver that makes use of it is an example driver called
mmapper, which was written over two decades ago.
We now have several modern device emulation mechanisms, such as
vhost-user-based virtio-uml. Remove the file-based iomem emulation
support to reduce the maintenance burden.

Although UML_ROUND_UP() is defined in a shared header file, it
depends on the PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK macros, so it can only be
used in kernel code. Considering its name is not very clear and
its functionality is the same as PAGE_ALIGN(), replace its usages
with a direct call to PAGE_ALIGN() and remove it.

This is currently done in uml_finishsetup(), but e.g. with
KCOV enabled we'll crash because some init code can call
into e.g. memparse(), which has coverage annotations, and
then the checks in check_kcov_mode() crash because current
is NULL.
Simply initialize the cpu_tasks[] array statically, which
fixes the crash. For the later SMP work, it seems to have
not really caused any problems yet, but initialize all of
the entries anyway.

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.
For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.
In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".
And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

Patch series "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
implementations", v6.
This patch series addresses the fragmentation in KASAN initialization
across architectures by introducing a unified approach that eliminates
duplicate static keys and arch-specific kasan_arch_is_ready()
implementations.
The core issue is that different architectures have inconsistent approaches
to KASAN readiness tracking:
- PowerPC, LoongArch, and UML arch, each implement own kasan_arch_is_ready()
- Only HW_TAGS mode had a unified static key (kasan_flag_enabled)
- Generic and SW_TAGS modes relied on arch-specific solutions
or always-on behavior
This patch (of 2):
Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_DEFER_KASAN to identify architectures [1] that need
to defer KASAN initialization until shadow memory is properly set up, and
unify the static key infrastructure across all KASAN modes.
[1] PowerPC, UML, LoongArch selects ARCH_DEFER_KASAN.
The core issue is that different architectures haveinconsistent approaches
to KASAN readiness tracking:
- PowerPC, LoongArch, and UML arch, each implement own
kasan_arch_is_ready()
- Only HW_TAGS mode had a unified static key (kasan_flag_enabled)
- Generic and SW_TAGS modes relied on arch-specific solutions or always-on
behavior
This patch addresses the fragmentation in KASAN initialization across
architectures by introducing a unified approach that eliminates duplicate
static keys and arch-specific kasan_arch_is_ready() implementations.
Let's replace kasan_arch_is_ready() with existing kasan_enabled() check,
which examines the static key being enabled if arch selects
ARCH_DEFER_KASAN or has HW_TAGS mode support. For other arch,
kasan_enabled() checks the enablement during compile time.
Now KASAN users can use a single kasan_enabled() check everywhere.

Motivation: IRQ KUnit tests are going to require CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ [1] in
order to:
(a) reliably allocate additional (fake) IRQs and
(b) ensure we can test managed affinity, which is only supported with
SPARSE_IRQ.
It seems that the only thing necessary for ARCH=um is to tell the genirq
core to skip over our preallocated NR_IRQS.
Tested with:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run
[...]
[13:55:58] Testing complete. Ran 676 tests: passed: 646, skipped: 30
[...]
This compares with pre-patch results:
Ran 672 tests: passed: 644, skipped: 28
i.e., we no longer skip tests that 'depend on SPARSE_IRQ', and existing
tests all pass.

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

Instead of always sharing the FDs with the userspace process, only hand
over the FDs needed for mmap when required. The idea is that userspace
might be able to force the stub into executing an mmap syscall, however,
it will not be able to manipulate the control flow sufficiently to have
access to an FD that would allow mapping arbitrary memory.
Security wise, we need to be sure that only the expected syscalls are
executed after the kernel sends FDs through the socket. This is
currently not the case, as userspace can trivially jump to the
rt_sigreturn syscall instruction to execute any syscall that the stub is
permitted to do. With this, it can trick the kernel to send the FD,
which in turn allows userspace to freely map any physical memory.
As such, this is currently *not* secure. However, in principle the
approach should be fine with a more strict SECCOMP filter and a careful
review of the stub control flow (as userspace can prepare a stack). With
some care, it is likely possible to extend the security model to SMP if
desired.

When in seccomp mode, we would hang forever on the futex if a child has
died unexpectedly. In contrast, ptrace mode will notice it and kill the
corresponding thread when it fails to run it.
Fix this issue using a new IRQ that is fired after a SIGCHLD and keeping
an (internal) list of all MMs. In the IRQ handler, find the affected MM
and set its PID to -1 as well as the futex variable to FUTEX_IN_KERN.
This, together with futex returning -EINTR after the signal is
sufficient to implement a race-free detection of a child dying.
Note that this also enables IRQ handling while starting a userspace
process. This should be safe and SECCOMP requires the IRQ in case the
process does not come up properly.

arch/um is one of the last users of CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP, but upon
closer look it appears that the PCI host bridge does not register
any port I/O, and the absense of both custom inb/outb functions and
a PCI_IOBASE constant means that actually trying to use port I/O
results on a NULL pointer access.
Build testing with clang confirms this by warning about this exact
problem:
include/asm-generic/io.h:549:31: error: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
549 | val = __raw_readb(PCI_IOBASE + addr);
| ~~~~~~~~~~ ^
Remove all the Kconfig selects that refer to legacy port I/O
and instead just build the normal MMIO path that is emulated
by the virtio PCI host.

Nathan reported [1] that when built with clang, the um kernel
crashes pretty much immediately. This turned out to be an issue
with the inline assembly I had added, when clang used %rax/%eax
for both operands. Reorder it so current->thread.segv_continue
is written first, and then the lifetime of _faulted won't have
overlap with the lifetime of segv_continue.
In the email thread Benjamin also pointed out that current->mm
is only NULL for true kernel tasks, but we could do this for a
userspace task, so the current->thread.segv_continue logic must
be lifted out of the mm==NULL check.
Finally, while looking at this, put a barrier() so the NULL
assignment to thread.segv_continue cannot be reorder before
the possibly faulting operation.

SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work.
- The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling"
from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai
has observed in the memory-failure implementation.
- The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner
makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing
fragmentation.
- The series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew
Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs.
- The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache
introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers.
- The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages"
from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages,
separately for file and anon pages.
- The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia
separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim
statistics.
- The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from
Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim
code.

The existing sigio workaround implementation removes FDs from the
poll when events are triggered, requiring users to re-add them via
add_sigio_fd() after processing. This introduces a potential race
condition between FD removal in write_sigio_thread() and next_poll
update in __add_sigio_fd(), and is inefficient due to frequent FD
removal and re-addition. Rewrite the implementation based on epoll
and tgkill for improved efficiency and reliability.

sched_yield by a userspace may not actually cause scheduling in
time-travel mode as no time has passed. In the case seen it appears to
be a badly implemented userspace spinlock in ASAN. Unfortunately, with
time-travel it causes an extreme slowdown or even deadlock depending on
the kernel configuration (CONFIG_UML_MAX_USERSPACE_ITERATIONS).
Work around it by accounting time to the process whenever it executes a
sched_yield syscall.
