Since the default value of sysctl_max_map_count is defined as
DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT from mm/util.c
int sysctl_max_map_count __read_mostly = DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT;
DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT is defined as 65530 (65535-5) in include/linux/mm.h
#define MAPCOUNT_ELF_CORE_MARGIN (5)
#define DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT (USHRT_MAX - MAPCOUNT_ELF_CORE_MARGIN)

Pull IOMMU updates from Will Deacon:
"There's a good mixture of improvements to the core code and driver
changes across the board.
One thing worth pointing out is that this includes a quirk to work
around behaviour in the i915 driver (see 65f746e8285f ("iommu: Add
quirk for Intel graphic devices in map_sg")), which otherwise
interacts badly with the conversion of the intel IOMMU driver over to
the DMA-IOMMU APU but has being fixed properly in the DRM tree.
We'll revert the quirk later this cycle once we've confirmed that
things don't fall apart without it.
Summary:
- IOVA allocation optimisations and removal of unused code
- Introduction of DOMAIN_ATTR_IO_PGTABLE_CFG for parameterising the
page-table of an IOMMU domain
- Support for changing the default domain type in sysfs
- Optimisation to the way in which identity-mapped regions are
created
- Driver updates:
* Arm SMMU updates, including continued work on Shared Virtual
Memory
* Tegra SMMU updates, including support for PCI devices
* Intel VT-D updates, including conversion to the IOMMU-DMA API
- Cleanup, kerneldoc and minor refactoring"

The offset of the field 'init_uts_ns.name' has changed since commit
9a56493f6942 ("uts: Use generic ns_common::count").
Make the offset of the field 'uts_namespace.name' available in VMCOREINFO
because tools like 'crash-utility' and 'makedumpfile' must be able to read
it from crash dumps.

Since we changed the pgdat->lru_lock to lruvec->lru_lock, it's time to fix
the incorrect comments in code. Also fixed some zone->lru_lock comment
error from ancient time. etc.
I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely
it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of
it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

Currently, zram supports the stat via /sys/block/zram/mm_stat to represent
how many of incompressible pages are stored at the moment but it couldn't
show how many times incompressible pages were wrote down since zram set
up. It's also good indication to see how zram is effective in the system.

There is demand to writeback specific process pages to backing store
instead of all idles pages in the system due to storage wear out concerns
and to launching latency of apps which are most of the time idle but are
critical for resume latency.
This patch extends the writeback knob to support a specific page
writeback.

With this change, when the knob is set to 0, it allows unprivileged users
to call userfaultfd, like when it is set to 1, but with the restriction
that page faults from only user-mode can be handled. In this mode, an
unprivileged user (without SYS_CAP_PTRACE capability) must pass
UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY to userfaultd or the API will fail with EPERM.
This enables administrators to reduce the likelihood that an attacker with
access to userfaultfd can delay faulting kernel code to widen timing
windows for other exploits.
The default value of this knob is changed to 0. This is required for
correct functioning of pipe mutex. However, this will fail postcopy live
migration, which will be unnoticeable to the VM guests. To avoid this,
set 'vm.userfault = 1' in /sys/sysctl.conf.
The main reason this change is desirable as in the short term is that the
Android userland will behave as with the sysctl set to zero. So without
this commit, any Linux binary using userfaultfd to manage its memory would
behave differently if run within the Android userland. For more details,
refer to Andrea's reply [1].

For many workloads, pagetable consumption is significant and it makes
sense to expose it in the memory.stat for the memory cgroups. However at
the moment, the pagetables are accounted per-zone. Converting them to
per-node and using the right interface will correctly account for the
memory cgroups as well.

As huge page usage in the page cache and for shmem files proliferates in
our production environment, the performance monitoring team has asked for
per-cgroup stats on those pages.
We already track and export anon_thp per cgroup. We already track file
THP and shmem THP per node, so making them per-cgroup is only a matter of
switching from node to lruvec counters. All callsites are in places where
the pages are charged and locked, so page->memcg is stable.

- The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for
non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall
related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The
x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.
- The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is
going to come seperate via Jens.
- The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.
- Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
and protection.

Pull x86 SGC support from Borislav Petkov:
"Intel Software Guard eXtensions enablement. This has been long in the
making, we were one revision number short of 42. :)
Intel SGX is new hardware functionality that can be used by
applications to populate protected regions of user code and data
called enclaves. Once activated, the new hardware protects enclave
code and data from outside access and modification.
Enclaves provide a place to store secrets and process data with those
secrets. SGX has been used, for example, to decrypt video without
exposing the decryption keys to nosy debuggers that might be used to
subvert DRM. Software has generally been rewritten specifically to run
in enclaves, but there are also projects that try to run limited
unmodified software in enclaves.
Most of the functionality is concentrated into arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/
except the addition of a new mprotect() hook to control enclave page
permissions and support for vDSO exceptions fixup which will is used
by SGX enclaves.

Here's a patch updating the meaning of TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC after
Borislav introduced changes in a7e1f67ed29f and upcoming patches in tip.
TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC now means a bit more what it implies as the
flag isn't set just because of a CPU misconfiguration or mismatch.
Historically it was for SMP kernel oops on an officially SMP incapable
processor but now it also covers CPUs whose MSRs have been incorrectly
poked at from userspace, drivers being used on non supported
architectures, broken firmware, mismatched CPUs, ...
Update documentation and script to reflect that.

Add a mostly finished document describing how to report issues with the
Linux kernel to its developers. It is designed to be a lot more straight
forward and easier to follow than the current text about this
(Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst); at the same time the new
text should be more helpful for people unfamiliar with the topic, as it
provides a lot more details, too.
The main work on the text is done, but some polishing is still needed.
The text also needs to be reviewed by more people and a few issues still
might need some discussion. To make these tasks easier, it was decided
([1]) to add this document to the kernel sources in parallel to the
existing text; the latter will be removed once this text is considered
good enough(tm).
This document is quite long and provides a lot of details, but was
carefully crafted to make sure it's can also serve people that are in a
hurry. That's mainly achieved by having a TDLR and a step-by-step guide,
which should be good enough for quite a lot of people. Everybody that
wants or need more explanations can find them in a reference section,
which describes all the needed steps in detail.
Thanks to this structure the text can work for kernel developers that
just need to look something up, experienced FLOSS contributors that are
unfamiliar with the kernel's bug reporting workflow, and users reporting
something upstream for the first time. The text is thus a bit like the
kernel itself, which works well for embedded machines, a typical desktop
PC, cloud servers, and HPC.
The document was written in the hope it will improve the quality of the
bug reports, especially those that come from people unfamiliar with how
Linux kernel development works. Sadly quite a few reports from this
group are currently of poor quality and/or get submitted to the wrong
place. Part of the problem is the old reporting-bugs document, as it
makes its essence hard to grasp; it's and also inaccurate and slightly
outdated in a few spots. Due to this quite a few valid reports are
ignored in the end, which is annoying for those that compiled them and
bad for the kernel's quality.
The document near the top points out that it's still unfinished, but
nevertheless ready for consumption. Those few areas in the text that
might need some further discussion contain a note pointing this out.
Besides lack of review from core developers there is only one major
issue left: the section 'Decode failure message' is known to be
outdated: it's waiting for someone familiar with the topic to write
something up or give at least provide some hints and pointers what to
write there.
The new document is dual-licensed under GPL-2.0+ or CC-BY-4.0. The
latter is way more liberal and makes it attractive to use this text as a
base when writing about this topic on websites or in books. This
hopefully increases the chances that such texts are accurate and stick
to official way of doing things.

Add a new configuration DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG_SECONDARY_KEYRING
to enable dm-verity signatures to be verified against the secondary
trusted keyring. Instead of relying on the builtin trusted keyring
(with hard-coded certificates), the second trusted keyring can include
certificate authorities from the builtin trusted keyring and child
certificates loaded at run time. Using the secondary trusted keyring
enables to use dm-verity disks (e.g. loop devices) signed by keys which
did not exist at kernel build time, leveraging the certificate chain of
trust model. In practice, this makes it possible to update certificates
without kernel update and reboot, aligning with module and kernel
(kexec) signature verification which already use the secondary trusted
keyring.

Add an early parameter that allows users to select the mode of operation
for KVM/arm64.
For now, the only supported value is "protected". By passing this flag
users opt into the hypervisor placing additional restrictions on the
host kernel. These allow the hypervisor to spawn guests whose state is
kept private from the host. Restrictions will include stage-2 address
translation to prevent host from accessing guest memory, filtering its
SMC calls, etc.
Without this parameter, the default behaviour remains selecting VHE/nVHE
based on hardware support and CONFIG_ARM64_VHE.

Pull bootconfig fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Have bootconfig size and checksum be little endian
In case the bootconfig is created on one kind of endian machine, and
then read on the other kind of endian kernel, the size and checksum
will be incorrect. Instead, have both the size and checksum always be
little endian and have the tool and the kernel convert it from little
endian to or from the host endian"

Add a description about the endianness of the size and the checksum
fields. Those must be stored as le32 instead of u32. This will allow
us to apply bootconfig to the cross build initrd without caring
the endianness.
