Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
1ec6d09789
- Optimize ftrace and kprobes code patching and avoid stop machine for kprobes if sequential instruction fetching facility is available - Add hiperdispatch feature to dynamically adjust CPU capacity in vertical polarization to improve scheduling efficiency and overall performance. Also add infrastructure for handling warning track interrupts (WTI), allowing for graceful CPU preemption - Rework crypto code pkey module and split it into separate, independent modules for sysfs, PCKMO, CCA, and EP11, allowing modules to load only when the relevant hardware is available - Add hardware acceleration for HMAC modes and the full AES-XTS cipher, utilizing message-security assist extensions (MSA) 10 and 11. It introduces new shash implementations for HMAC-SHA224/256/384/512 and registers the hardware-accelerated AES-XTS cipher as the preferred option. Also add clear key token support - Add MSA 10 and 11 processor activity instrumentation counters to perf and update PAI Extension 1 NNPA counters - Cleanup cpu sampling facility code and rework debug/WARN_ON_ONCE statements - Add support for SHA3 performance enhancements introduced with MSA 12 - Add support for the query authentication information feature of MSA 13 and introduce the KDSA CPACF instruction. Provide query and query authentication information in sysfs, enabling tools like cpacfinfo to present this data in a human-readable form - Update kernel disassembler instructions - Always enable EXPOLINE_EXTERN if supported by the compiler to ensure kpatch compatibility - Add missing warning handling and relocated lowcore support to the early program check handler - Optimize ftrace_return_address() and avoid calling unwinder - Make modules use kernel ftrace trampolines - Strip relocs from the final vmlinux ELF file to make it roughly 2 times smaller - Dump register contents and call trace for early crashes to the console - Generate ptdump address marker array dynamically - Fix rcu_sched stalls that might occur when adding or removing large amounts of pages at once to or from the CMM balloon - Fix deadlock caused by recursive lock of the AP bus scan mutex - Unify sync and async register save areas in entry code - Cleanup debug prints in crypto code - Various cleanup and sanitizing patches for the decompressor - Various small ftrace cleanups -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEE3QHqV+H2a8xAv27vjYWKoQLXFBgFAmbsZawACgkQjYWKoQLX FBg+Ogf+NiKPfvI14NcTwnOHB6qz8ApPdGfN9bNVtQxtK3epeAvtj0cMonAuKpRg xckTRRd8y0guhCT7Q2+WitSgA5eYDn+u9/Ux5YuKUdUdXolQ0D64BJNtVeEFkmJj s+Lesb8cVI9T2VBZOpuF9lJigfsDALBkFroqN4MDudDeahS+qy33bAc0OoqYNXHo S6OwPK1/tEG9O/oTN2V4mN+aP0B3/dl7Msezb0gfAXQJA+WUAyMNK0RHvoG9uzaa BWAyWWYABj6woGZEAQAzXcbzkQiRPixTqZVe6e4YndXhIlEnB/Z2AQFdTpT9V7En eOmmve3QuJa0hkF9q4H/anvOMPntTg== =Xagq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 's390-6.12-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik: - Optimize ftrace and kprobes code patching and avoid stop machine for kprobes if sequential instruction fetching facility is available - Add hiperdispatch feature to dynamically adjust CPU capacity in vertical polarization to improve scheduling efficiency and overall performance.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
