When an rxrpc call is in its transmission phase and is sending a lot of
packets, stalls occasionally occur that cause severe performance
degradation (eg. increasing the transmission time for a 256MiB payload from
0.7s to 2.5s over a 10G link).
rxrpc already implements TCP-style congestion control [RFC5681] and this
helps mitigate the effects, but occasionally we're missing a time event
that deals with a missing ACK, leading to a stall until the RTO expires.
Fix this by implementing RACK/TLP in rxrpc.

Manage the determination of RTT on a per-call (ie. per-RPC op) basis rather
than on a per-peer basis, averaging across all calls going to that peer.
The problem is that the RTT measurements from the initial packets on a call
may be off because the server may do some setting up (such as getting a
lock on a file) before accepting the rest of the data in the RPC and,
further, the RTT may be affected by server-side file operations, for
instance if a large amount of data is being written or read.
Note: When handling the FS.StoreData-type RPCs, for example, the server
uses the userStatus field in the header of ACK packets as supplementary
flow control to aid in managing this. AF_RXRPC does not yet support this,
but it should be added.

Add an indicator to the rxrpc_tx_data tracepoint to indicate what triggered
the transmission of a particular packet. At this point, it's only normal
transmission and retransmission, plus the tracepoint is also used to record
loss injection, but in a future patch, TLP-induced (re-)transmission will

Store the serial number set on a DATA packet at the point of transmission
in the rxrpc_txqueue struct and when an ACK is received, match the
reference number in the ACK by trawling the txqueue rather than sharing an
RTT table with ACK RTT. This can be done as part of Tx queue rotation.
This means we have a lot more RTT samples available and is faster to search
with all the serial numbers packed together into a few cachelines rather
than being hung off different txbufs.

Adjust some of the names of fields and constants to make them look a bit
more like the TCP congestion symbol names, such as flight_size -> in_flight
and congest_mode to ca_state.
Move the persistent congestion-related fields from the rxrpc_ack_summary
struct into the rxrpc_call struct rather than copying them out and back in
again. The rxrpc_congest tracepoint can fetch them from the call struct.
Rename the counters for soft acks and nacks to have an 's' on the front to
reflect the softness, e.g. nr_acks -> nr_sacks.
Make fields counting numbers of packets or numbers of acks u16 rather than
u8 to allow for windows of up to 8192 DATA packets in flight in future.

Replace the call->acks_first_seq variable (which holds ack.firstPacket from
the latest ACK packet and indicates the sequence number of the first ack
slot in the SACK table) with call->acks_hard_ack which will hold the
highest sequence hard ACK'd. This is 1 less than call->acks_first_seq, but
it fits in the same schema as the other tracking variables which hold the
sequence of a packet, not one past it.
This will fix the rxrpc_congest tracepoint's calculation of SACK window
size which shows one fewer than it should - and will occasionally go to -1.

We need to scan the buffers in the transmission queue occasionally when
processing ACKs, but the transmission queue is currently a linked list of
transmission buffers which, when we eventually expand the Tx window to 8192
packets will be very slow to walk.
Instead, pull the fields we need to examine a lot (last sent time,
retransmitted flag) into a new struct rxrpc_txqueue and make each one hold
an array of 32 or 64 packets.
The transmission queue is then a list of these structs, each pointing to a
contiguous set of packets. Scanning is then a lot faster as the flags and
timestamps are concentrated in the CPU dcache.
The transmission timestamps are stored as a number of microseconds from a
base ktime to reduce memory requirements. This should be fine provided we
manage to transmit an entire buffer within an hour.
This will make implementing RACK-TLP [RFC8985] easier as it will be less
costly to scan the transmission buffers.

Starvation can happen in the rxrpc I/O thread because it goes back to the
top of the I/O loop after it does any one thing without trying to give any
other connection or call CPU time. Also, because it processes one call
packet at a time, it tries to do the retransmission loop after each ACK
without checking to see if there are other ACKs already in the queue that
can update the SACK state.
Fix this by:
(1) Add a received-packet queue on each call.
(2) Distribute packets from the master Rx queue to the individual call,
conn and error queues and 'poking' calls to add them to the attend
queue first thing in the I/O thread.
(3) Go through all the attention-seeking connections and calls before
going back to the top of the I/O thread. Each queue is extracted as a
whole and then gone through so that new additions to insert themselves
into the queue.
(4) Make the call event handler go through all the packets currently on
the call's rx_queue before transmitting and retransmitting DATA
packets.
(5) Drop the skb argument from the call event handler as this is now
replaced with the rx_queue. Instead, keep track of whether we
received a packet or an ACK for the tests that used to rely on that.

Implement path-MTU probing (along the lines of RFC8899) by padding some of
the PING ACKs we send. PING ACKs get their own individual responses quite
apart from the acking of data (though, as ACKs, they fulfil that role
also).
The probing concentrates on packet sizes that correspond how many
subpackets can be stuffed inside a jumbo packet as jumbo DATA packets are
just aggregations of individual DATA packets and can be split easily for
retransmission purposes.
If we want to perform probing, we advertise this by setting the maximum
number of jumbo subpackets to 0 in the ack trailer when we send an ACK and
see if the peer is also advertising the service. This is interpreted by
non-supporting Rx stacks as an indication that jumbo packets aren't
supported.
The MTU sizes advertised in the ACK trailer AF_RXRPC transmits are pegged
at a maximum of 1444 unless pmtud is supported by both sides.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"The biggest change here is eliminating the awful idea that KVM had of
essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages.
The reason to do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted
pages (for example BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP
VMAs that contain refcounted pages.
However, the result was security issues in the past, and more recently
the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory that _is_ backed by
struct page but is not refcounted. In particular this broke virtio-gpu
blob resources (which directly map host graphics buffers into the
guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the amdgpu driver,
because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages and the tail
pages could not be mapped into KVM.
This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the
per-architecture code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible.
The large series that did this, from David Stevens and Sean
Christopherson, also cleaned up substantially the set of functions
that provided arch code with the pfn for a host virtual addresses.
The previous maze of twisty little passages, all different, is
replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page, __kvm_faultin_pfn, the
non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages) saving almost
200 lines of code.
ARM:
- Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
emulated page table walker
- Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This
call was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request
hibernation, similar to the S4 state in ACPI
- Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
context so KVM can use the corresponding traps
- PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
nested guest
- Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM
- Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested
synchronous external abort injection
- Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
selftests
LoongArch:
- Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel.
- Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation.
- Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip.
PPC:
- Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which
was removed 10 years ago.
- Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls
RISC-V:
- Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest
- Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side
s390:
- New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks
- Support for the gen17 CPU model
- List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the
documentation
x86:
- Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code,
improve documentation, harden against unexpected changes.
Even if the hardware A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to
use the hardware-defined A/D bits to track if a PFN is Accessed
and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot of special cases.
- Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in
x86's primary MMU for over 10 years.
- Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging
is toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page
is re-accessed to create a huge mapping. This reduces vCPU jitter.
- Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off. This
reduces the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x.
- Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow
page tables in low-memory situations.
- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to
MSR_IA32_APICBASE.
- Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest
- Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs
to their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM
creating invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to
a non-zero value results in the vCPU having invalid state if
userspace hides PDCM from the guest, which in turn can lead to
save/restore failures.
- Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support
LA57 to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the
actual behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and
descriptor table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on
whether the CPU supports LA57.
- Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(),
as filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden
the cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring
in the future. The issue that triggered this change was already
fixed in 6.12, but was still kinda latent.
- Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where
KVM over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor
VMs.
- Minor cleanups
- Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task.
These kthreads can consume significant amounts of CPU time on
behalf of a VM or in response to how the VM behaves (for example
how it accesses its memory); therefore KVM tried to place the
thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU time consumed by that
work to the VM's container.
However the kthreads did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore
cgroups which had KVM instances inside could not complete freezing.
Fix this by replacing the kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via
the vhost_task abstraction. Another 100+ lines removed, with
generally better behavior too like having these threads properly
parented in the process tree.
- Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that
didn't really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway:
the broken patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the
erratum.
- Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even
if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is
'y'.
x86 selftests:
- x86 selftests can now use AVX.
Documentation:
- Use rST internal links
- Reorganize the introduction to the API document
Generic:
- Protect vcpu->pid accesses outside of vcpu->mutex with a rwlock
instead of RCU, so that running a vCPU on a different task doesn't
encounter long due to having to wait for all CPUs become quiescent.
In general both reads and writes are rare, but userspace that
supports confidential computing is introducing the use of "helper"
vCPUs that may jump from one host processor to another. Those will
be very happy to trigger a synchronize_rcu(), and the effect on
performance is quite the disaster"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Addition of faultable tracepoints
There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit.
This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are
called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can
sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault
in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been
made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space
parameters and record them.
Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers
(perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow
faults.
- Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic
- Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API
- Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used
- Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic
- Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()
- Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()
- Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled
- Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with
atomic64_inc_return(counter)
- Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE
- Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used
- Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph
tracer is also running.
When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the
parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
"return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.
- Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure
- Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack
function filter.
echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.
- Minor clean ups

The hardware mailboxes are used by the driver to submit requests to
firmware and receive the completion notices from hardware.
Initially, a management mailbox channel is up and running. The driver may
request firmware to create/destroy more channels dynamically through
management channel.
Add driver internal mailbox interfaces.
- create/destroy a mailbox channel instance
- send a message to the firmware through a specific channel
- wait for a notification from the specific channel

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.
Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
a more reliable replacement for the latter.
Core:
- Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
- RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
- introduce basic per netns locking helpers
- namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
- remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
rtnl_register_many()
- refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
possible out of RTNL lock
- convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
- convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
- convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.
- Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.
- Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
handling consistent and reliable.
- Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
better introspection in case of packets drop.
- Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.
- Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.
- Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
and timestamps
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
size.
- Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
implementation.
Netfilter:
- Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption
- Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.
- Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.
- Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
improvements.
BPF:
- Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.
- Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
combination with BPF cpumap.
- Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.
- Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority}
scrubbing to its BPF program.
- Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
programs.
Protocols:
- Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
significantly connected sockets lookup.
- Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
close, the socket lock contention.
- Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
lookups.
- Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
risks on loosing them.
- Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
device neigh lists.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.
- Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.
- Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.
- Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.
- Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
offload.
- Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
device-specific entries.
- Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.
- Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.
Tests and tooling:
- forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
phase
Drivers:
- Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
introspection.

Pull pwm updates from Uwe Kleine-König:
"This contains a new abstraction for PWM waveforms that is more
expressive that the legacy one. Compared to the old abstraction it
contains a duty_offset member instead of polarity. This new
abstraction is already used in an ADC driver merged into the iio tree.
The new API requires changes to the lowlevel drivers. For now there
are two drivers that are converted to the new API (axi-pwmgen and
stm32). Converted drivers continue to work with the old API. Drivers
not yet converted only work with the older API.
Otherwise it's the usual collection of fixes, cleanups and dt doc
updates.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Cleanups of the eventfd handling code, making it fully private.
- Support for sending a sync message to another ring, without having a
ring available to send a normal async message.
- Get rid of the separate unlocked hash table, unify everything around
the single locked one.
- Add support for ring resizing. It can be hard to appropriately size
the CQ ring upfront, if the application doesn't know how busy it will
be. This results in applications sizing rings for the most busy case,
which can be wasteful. With ring resizing, they can start small and
grow the ring, if needed.
- Add support for fixed wait regions, rather than needing to copy the
same wait data tons of times for each wait operation.
- Rewrite the resource node handling, which before was serialized per
ring. This caused issues with particularly fixed files, where one
file waiting on IO could hold up putting and freeing of other
unrelated files. Now each node is handled separately. New code is
much simpler too, and was a net 250 line reduction in code.
- Add support for just doing partial buffer clones, rather than always
cloning the entire buffer table.
- Series adding static NAPI support, where a specific NAPI instance is
used rather than having a list of them available that need lookup.
- Add support for mapped regions, and also convert the fixed wait
support mentioned above to that concept. This avoids doing special
mappings for various planned features, and folds the existing
registered wait into that too.
- Add support for hybrid IO polling, which is a variant of strict
IOPOLL but with an initial sleep delay to avoid spinning too early
and wasting resources on devices that aren't necessarily in the < 5
usec category wrt latencies.
- Various cleanups and little fixes.

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"Changes outside of btrfs: add io_uring command flag to track a dying
task (the rest will go via the block git tree).
User visible changes:
- wire encoded read (ioctl) to io_uring commands, this can be used on
itself, in the future this will allow 'send' to be asynchronous. As
a consequence, the encoded read ioctl can also work in non-blocking
mode
- new ioctl to wait for cleaned subvolumes, no need to use the
generic and root-only SEARCH_TREE ioctl, will be used by "btrfs
subvol sync"
- recognize different paths/symlinks for the same devices and don't
report them during rescanning, this can be observed with LVM or DM
- seeding device use case change, the sprout device (the one
capturing new writes) will not clear the read-only status of the
super block; this prevents accumulating space from deleted
snapshots
Performance improvements:
- reduce lock contention when traversing extent buffers
- reduce extent tree lock contention when searching for inline
backref
- switch from rb-trees to xarray for delayed ref tracking,
improvements due to better cache locality, branching factors and
more compact data structures
- enable extent map shrinker again (prevent memory exhaustion under
some types of IO load), reworked to run in a single worker thread
(there used to be problems causing long stalls under memory
pressure)
Core changes:
- raid-stripe-tree feature updates:
- make device replace and scrub work
- implement partial deletion of stripe extents
- new selftests
- split the config option BTRFS_DEBUG and add EXPERIMENTAL for
features that are experimental or with known problems so we don't
misuse debugging config for that
- subpage mode updates (sector < page):
- update compression implementations
- update writepage, writeback
- continued folio API conversions:
- buffered writes
- make buffered write copy one page at a time, preparatory work for
future integration with large folios, may cause performance drop
- proper locking of root item regarding starting send
- error handling improvements
- code cleanups and refactoring:
- dead code removal
- unused parameter reduction

"Features:
- Fixup and improve NLM and kNFSD file lock callbacks
Last year both GFS2 and OCFS2 had some work done to make their
locking more robust when exported over NFS. Unfortunately, part of
that work caused both NLM (for NFS v3 exports) and kNFSD (for
NFSv4.1+ exports) to no longer send lock notifications to clients
This in itself is not a huge problem because most NFS clients will
still poll the server in order to acquire a conflicted lock
It's important for NLM and kNFSD that they do not block their
kernel threads inside filesystem's file_lock implementations
because that can produce deadlocks. We used to make sure of this by
only trusting that posix_lock_file() can correctly handle blocking
lock calls asynchronously, so the lock managers would only setup
their file_lock requests for async callbacks if the filesystem did
not define its own lock() file operation
However, when GFS2 and OCFS2 grew the capability to correctly
handle blocking lock requests asynchronously, they started
signalling this behavior with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK, and the check
for also trusting posix_lock_file() was inadvertently dropped, so
now most filesystems no longer produce lock notifications when
exported over NFS
Fix this by using an fop_flag which greatly simplifies the problem
and grooms the way for future uses by both filesystems and lock
managers alike
- Add a sysctl to delete the dentry when a file is removed instead of
making it a negative dentry
Commit 681ce86235 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the
associated dentry when a file is removed. However, this led to
performance regressions in specific benchmarks, such as
ilebench.sum_operations/s, prompting a revert in commit
4a4be1ad3a ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file""). This reintroduces the concept conditionally
through a sysctl
- Expand the statmount() system call:
* Report the filesystem subtype in a new fs_subtype field to
e.g., report fuse filesystem subtypes
* Report the superblock source in a new sb_source field
* Add a new way to return filesystem specific mount options in an
option array that returns filesystem specific mount options
separated by zero bytes and unescaped. This allows caller's to
retrieve filesystem specific mount options and immediately pass
them to e.g., fsconfig() without having to unescape or split
them
* Report security (LSM) specific mount options in a separate
security option array. We don't lump them together with
filesystem specific mount options as security mount options are
generic and most users aren't interested in them
The format is the same as for the filesystem specific mount
option array
- Support relative paths in fsconfig()'s FSCONFIG_SET_STRING command
- Optimize acl_permission_check() to avoid costly {g,u}id ownership
checks if possible
- Use smp_mb__after_spinlock() to avoid full smp_mb() in evict()
- Add synchronous wakeup support for ep_poll_callback.
Currently, epoll only uses wake_up() to wake up task. But sometimes
there are epoll users which want to use the synchronous wakeup flag
to give a hint to the scheduler, e.g., the Android binder driver.
So add a wake_up_sync() define, and use wake_up_sync() when sync is
true in ep_poll_callback()
Fixes:
- Fix kernel documentation for inode_insert5() and iget5_locked()
- Annotate racy epoll check on file->f_ep
- Make F_DUPFD_QUERY associative
- Avoid filename buffer overrun in initramfs
- Don't let statmount() return empty strings
- Add a cond_resched() to dump_user_range() to avoid hogging the CPU
- Don't query the device logical blocksize multiple times for hfsplus
- Make filemap_read() check that the offset is positive or zero
Cleanups:
- Various typo fixes
- Cleanup wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode()
- Add __releases annotation to wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode()
- Add hugetlbfs tracepoints
- Fix various vfs kernel doc parameters

- Annotate struct posix_acl with __counted_by()
- Replace one-element array with flexible array member in freevxfs
- Use idiomatic atomic64_inc_return() in alloc_mnt_ns()"

Pull vfs multigrain timestamps from Christian Brauner:
"This is another try at implementing multigrain timestamps. This time
with significant help from the timekeeping maintainers to reduce the
performance impact.
Thomas provided a base branch that contains the required timekeeping
interfaces for the VFS. It serves as the base for the multi-grain
timestamp work:
- Multigrain timestamps allow the kernel to use fine-grained
timestamps when an inode's attributes is being actively observed
via ->getattr(). With this support, it's possible for a file to get
a fine-grained timestamp, and another modified after it to get a
coarse-grained stamp that is earlier than the fine-grained time. If
this happens then the files can appear to have been modified in
reverse order, which breaks VFS ordering guarantees.
To prevent this, a floor value is maintained for multigrain
timestamps. Whenever a fine-grained timestamp is handed out, record
it, and when later coarse-grained stamps are handed out, ensure
they are not earlier than that value. If the coarse-grained
timestamp is earlier than the fine-grained floor, return the floor
value instead.
The timekeeper changes add a static singleton atomic64_t into
timekeeper.c that is used to keep track of the latest fine-grained
time ever handed out. This is tracked as a monotonic ktime_t value
to ensure that it isn't affected by clock jumps. Because it is
updated at different times than the rest of the timekeeper object,
the floor value is managed independently of the timekeeper via a
cmpxchg() operation, and sits on its own cacheline.
Two new public timekeeper interfaces are added:
(1) ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg() fills a timespec64 with the
later of the coarse-grained clock and the floor time
(2) ktime_get_real_ts64_mg() gets the fine-grained clock value,
and tries to swap it into the floor. A timespec64 is filled
with the result.
- The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around
1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting
via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of
changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to
help the client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with
NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a
change attribute and are subject to the same problems with
timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with
timestamps (e.g backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would
improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the
underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata
updates.
This adds a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in
inode->i_ctime_nsec as a flag that indicates whether the current
timestamps have been queried via stat() or the like. When it's set,
we allow the kernel to use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's
necessary to make the ctime show a different value.
This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible
for a file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file
that is altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one
that appears older than the earlier fine-grained time. This
violates timestamp ordering guarantees.
This is where the earlier mentioned timkeeping interfaces help. A
global monotonic atomic64_t value is kept that acts as a timestamp
floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of the
current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it
with that value.
If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse
time is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept
that value. If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to
swap that into the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we
take the resulting floor time, convert it to realtime and try to
swap that into the ctime.
We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails,
since either is just as valid.
Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same
floor value as multigrain filesystems)"

Add iocsr and mmio memory read and write simulation to the kernel. When

Since 7d6be67cfd ("mm: mmap_lock: replace get_memcg_path_buf() with
on-stack buffer") we use trace_mmap_lock_reg()/unreg() only to maintain an
atomic reg_refcount which is checked to avoid performing
get_mm_memcg_path() in case none of the tracepoints using it is enabled.
This can be achieved directly by putting all the work needed for the
tracepoint behind the trace_mmap_lock_##type##_enabled(), as suggested by
Documentation/trace/tracepoints.rst and with the following advantages:
- uses the tracepoint's static key instead of evaluating a branch
- the check tracepoint specific, not shared by all of them
- we can get rid of trace_mmap_lock_reg()/unreg() completely
Thus use the trace_..._enabled() check and remove unnecessary code.

Now that we track qgroup extent records in a xarray we don't need to have
a "bytenr" field in struct btrfs_qgroup_extent_record, since we can get
it from the index of the record in the xarray.
So remove the field and grab the bytenr from either the index key or any
other place where it's available (delayed refs). This reduces the size of
struct btrfs_qgroup_extent_record from 40 bytes down to 32 bytes, meaning
that we now can store 128 instances of this structure instead of 102 per
4K page.

This tracepoint gives visibility on how often the flushing of memcg stats
occurs and contains info on whether it was forced, skipped, and the value
of stats updated. It can help with understanding how readers are affected
by having to perform the flush, and the effectiveness of the flush by
inspecting the number of stats updated. Paired with the recently added
tracepoints for tracing rstat updates, it can also help show correlation
where stats exceed thresholds frequently.
