Joel Granados 564195c1a3 sysctl: Wrap do_proc_douintvec with the public function proc_douintvec_conv
Make do_proc_douintvec static and export proc_douintvec_conv wrapper
function for external use. This is to keep with the design in sysctl.c.
Update fs/pipe.c to use the new public API.

Joel Granados 30baaeb685 sysctl: Create pipe-max-size converter using sysctl UINT macros
Create a converter for the pipe-max-size proc_handler using the
SYSCTL_UINT_CONV_CUSTOM. Move SYSCTL_CONV_IDENTITY macro to the sysctl
header to make it available for pipe size validation. Keep returning
-EINVAL when (val == 0) by using a range checking converter and setting
the minimal valid value (extern1) to SYSCTL_ONE. Keep round_pipe_size by
passing it as the operation for SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_INT_CONV.

Joel Granados 54932988c4 sysctl: Move jiffies converters to kernel/time/jiffies.c
Move integer jiffies converters (proc_dointvec{_,_ms_,_userhz_}jiffies
and proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies_minmax) to kernel/time/jiffies.c. Error
stubs for when CONFIG_PRCO_SYSCTL is not defined are not reproduced
because all the jiffies converters go through proc_dointvec_conv which
is already stubbed. This is part of the greater effort to move sysctl
logic out of kernel/sysctl.c thereby reducing merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.

Joel Granados c5b4c183f7 sysctl: Allow custom converters from outside sysctl
The new non-static proc_dointvec_conv forwards a custom converter

Joel Granados 2dc164a48e sysctl: Create converter functions with two new macros
Eight converter functions are created using two new macros
(SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_INT_CONV & SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER_INT_CONV); they are
called from four pre-existing converter functions: do_proc_dointvec_conv
and do_proc_dointvec{,_userhz,_ms}_jiffies_conv. The function names
generated by the macros are differentiated by a string suffix passed as
the first macro argument.

The SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_INT_CONV macro first executes the u_ptr_op
operation, then checks for overflow, assigns sign (-, +) and finally
writes to the kernel var with WRITE_ONCE; it always returns an -EINVAL
when an overflow is detected. The SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER_INT_CONV uses
READ_ONCE, casts to unsigned long, then executes the k_ptr_op before
assigning the value to the user space buffer.

The overflow check is always done against MAX_INT after applying
{k,u}_ptr_op. This approach avoids rounding or precision errors that
might occur when using the inverse operations.

Joel Granados 551bf18450 sysctl: Discriminate between kernel and user converter params
Rename converter parameter to indicate data flow direction: "lvalp" to
"u_ptr" indicating a user space parsed value pointer. "valp" to "k_ptr"
indicating a kernel storage value pointer. This facilitates the
identification of discrepancies between direction (copy to kernel or
copy to user space) and the modified variable. This is a preparation
commit for when the converter functions are exposed to the rest of the

Joel Granados 5412f5b13d sysctl: Indicate the direction of operation with macro names
Replace the "write" integer parameter with SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN() and
SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER() that clearly indicate data flow direction in
sysctl operations.

"write" originates in proc_sysctl.c (proc_sys_{read,write}) and can take
one of two values: "0" or "1" when called from proc_sys_read and
proc_sys_write respectively. When write has a value of zero, data is
"written" to a user space buffer from a kernel variable (usually
ctl_table->data). Whereas when write has a value greater than zero, data
is "written" to an internal kernel variable from a user space buffer.
Remove this ambiguity by introducing macros that clearly indicate the
direction of the "write".

The write mode names in sysctl_writes_mode are left unchanged as these
directly relate to the sysctl_write_strict file in /proc/sys where the
word "write" unambiguously refers to writing to a file.

Linus Torvalds f90f2145b2 s390 updates for 6.15 merge window
- Add sorting of mcount locations at build time
 
 - Rework uaccess functions with C exception handling to shorten inline
   assembly size and enable full inlining. This yields near-optimal code
   for small constant copies with a ~40kb kernel size increase
 
 - Add support for a configurable STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS which allows to
   generate better code, but also allows to have type checking for
   debug builds
 
 - Optimize get_lowcore() for common callers with alternatives that
   nearly revert to the pre-relocated lowcore code, while also slightly
   reducing syscall entry and exit time
 
 - Convert MACHINE_HAS_* checks for single facility tests into cpu_has_*
   style macros that call test_facility(), and for features with additional
   conditions, add a new ALT_TYPE_FEATURE alternative to provide a static
   branch via alternative patching. Also, move machine feature detection
   to the decompressor for early patching and add debugging functionality
   to easily show which alternatives are patched
 
 - Add exception table support to early boot / startup code to get rid
   of the open coded exception handling
 
 - Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies with EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE
   to ensure correct inlining and unrolling decisions
 
 - Remove 2k page table leftovers now that s390 has been switched to
   always allocate 4k page tables
 
 - Split kfence pool into 4k mappings in arch_kfence_init_pool() and
   remove the architecture-specific kfence_split_mapping()
 
 - Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() to silence
   spurious KASAN warnings from opportunistic ftrace argument tracing
 
 - Force __atomic_add_const() variants on s390 to always return void,
   ensuring compile errors for improper usage
 
 - Remove s390's ioremap_wt() and pgprot_writethrough() due to mismatched
   semantics and lack of known users, relying on asm-generic fallbacks
 
 - Signal eventfd in vfio-ap to notify userspace when the guest AP
   configuration changes, including during mdev removal
 
 - Convert mdev_types from an array to a pointer in vfio-ccw and vfio-ap
   drivers to avoid fake flex array confusion
 
 - Cleanup trap code
 
 - Remove references to the outdated linux390@de.ibm.com address
 
 - Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code

Merge tag 's390-6.15-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add sorting of mcount locations at build time

 - Rework uaccess functions with C exception handling to shorten inline
   assembly size and enable full inlining. This yields near-optimal code
   for small constant copies with a ~40kb kernel size increase

 - Add support for a configurable STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS which allows to
   generate better code, but also allows to have type checking for debug
   builds

 - Optimize get_lowcore() for common callers with alternatives that
   nearly revert to the pre-relocated lowcore code, while also slightly
   reducing syscall entry and exit time

 - Convert MACHINE_HAS_* checks for single facility tests into cpu_has_*
   style macros that call test_facility(), and for features with
   additional conditions, add a new ALT_TYPE_FEATURE alternative to
   provide a static branch via alternative patching. Also, move machine
   feature detection to the decompressor for early patching and add
   debugging functionality to easily show which alternatives are patched

 - Add exception table support to early boot / startup code to get rid
   of the open coded exception handling

 - Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies with EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE
   to ensure correct inlining and unrolling decisions

 - Remove 2k page table leftovers now that s390 has been switched to
   always allocate 4k page tables

 - Split kfence pool into 4k mappings in arch_kfence_init_pool() and
   remove the architecture-specific kfence_split_mapping()

 - Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() to silence
   spurious KASAN warnings from opportunistic ftrace argument tracing

 - Force __atomic_add_const() variants on s390 to always return void,
   ensuring compile errors for improper usage

 - Remove s390's ioremap_wt() and pgprot_writethrough() due to
   mismatched semantics and lack of known users, relying on asm-generic
   fallbacks

 - Signal eventfd in vfio-ap to notify userspace when the guest AP
   configuration changes, including during mdev removal

 - Convert mdev_types from an array to a pointer in vfio-ccw and vfio-ap
   drivers to avoid fake flex array confusion

 - Cleanup trap code

 - Remove references to the outdated linux390@de.ibm.com address

 - Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code

Linus Torvalds 592329e5e9 Summary
* Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
 
   All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems leading
   to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This increases modularity by
   placing the ctl_tables closer to where they are actually used and at the same
   time reducing the chances of merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
 
 * ctl_table range fixes
 
   Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
   coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the extra{1,2}
   pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the values that users
   can pass into the kernel effectively preventing {under,over}flows.
 
 * Misc fixes
 
   Correct grammar errors and typos in test messages. Update sysctl files in
   MAINTAINERS. Constified and removed array size in declaration for
   alignment_tbl
 
 * Testing
 
   - These have all been in linux-next for at least 1 month
   - They have gone through 0-day
   - Ran all these through sysctl selftests in x86_64

joel granados 20de8f8d31 s390: Move s390 sysctls into their own file under arch/s390
Move s390 sysctls (spin_retry and userprocess_debug) into their own
files under arch/s390. Create two new sysctl tables
(2390_{fault,spin}_sysctl_table) which will be initialized with
arch_initcall placing them after their original place in proc_root_init.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.

Move ctl tables to two files:

 - perf_event_{paranoid,mlock_kb,max_sample_rate} and
   perf_cpu_time_max_percent into kernel/events/core.c

 - perf_event_max_{stack,context_per_stack} into

Make static variables and functions that are fully contained in core.c
and callchain.cand remove them from include/linux/perf_event.h.
Additionally six_hundred_forty_kb is moved to callchain.c.

Two new sysctl tables are added ({callchain,events_core}_sysctl_table)
with their respective sysctl registration functions.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kerenel/sysctl.c.

Joel Granados c305a4e983 x86: Move sysctls into arch/x86
Move the following sysctl tables into arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:

  panic_on_{unrecoverable_nmi,io_nmi}
  bootloader_{type,version}
  io_delay_type
  unknown_nmi_panic
  acpi_realmode_flags

Variables moved from include/linux/ to arch/x86/include/asm/ because there
is no longer need for them outside arch/x86/kernel:

  acpi_realmode_flags
  panic_on_{unrecoverable_nmi,io_nmi}

Include <asm/nmi.h> in arch/s86/kernel/setup.h in order to bring in
panic_on_{io_nmi,unrecovered_nmi}.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kerenel/sysctl.c.

Kaixiong Yu f569ca4b14 sh: vdso: move the sysctl to arch/sh/kernel/vsyscall/vsyscall.c
When CONFIG_SUPERH and CONFIG_VSYSCALL are defined,
vdso_enabled belongs to arch/sh/kernel/vsyscall/vsyscall.c.
So, move it into its own file. To avoid failure when registering
the vdso_table, move the call to register_sysctl_init() into
its own fs_initcall().

Kaixiong Yu a33e288147 x86: vdso: move the sysctl to arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.c
When CONFIG_X86_32 is defined and CONFIG_UML is not defined,
vdso_enabled belongs to arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.c.
So, move it into its own file.

Before this patch, vdso_enabled was allowed to be set to
a value exceeding 1 on x86_32 architecture. After this patch is
applied, vdso_enabled is not permitted to set the value more than 1.
It does not matter, because according to the function load_vdso32(),
only vdso_enabled is set to 1, VDSO would be enabled. Other values
all mean "disabled". The same limitation could be seen in the
function vdso32_setup().

The sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure belongs to fs/dcache.c, move it to
fs/dcache.c from kernel/sysctl.c. As a part of fs/dcache.c cleaning,
sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is changed to a static variable, and change

export vfs_pressure_ratio() with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to be used by other
