kbuild: distributed build support for Clang ThinLTO
Add distributed ThinLTO build support for the Linux kernel.
This new mode offers several advantages: (1) Increased
flexibility in handling user-specified build options.
(2) Improved user-friendliness for developers. (3) Greater
convenience for integrating with objtool and livepatch.
Note that "distributed" in this context refers to a term
that differentiates in-process ThinLTO builds by invoking
backend compilation through the linker, not necessarily
building in distributed environments.
Distributed ThinLTO is enabled via the
`CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN_DIST` Kconfig option. For example:
> make LLVM=1 defconfig
> scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN_DIST
> make LLVM=1 oldconfig
> make LLVM=1 vmlinux -j <..>
The build flow proceeds in four stages:
1. Perform FE compilation, mirroring the in-process ThinLTO mode.
2. Thin-link the generated IR files and object files.
3. Find all IR files and perform BE compilation, using the flags
stored in the .*.o.cmd files.
4. Link the BE results to generate the final vmlinux.o.
NOTE: This patch currently implements the build for the main kernel
image (vmlinux) only. Kernel module support is planned for a
subsequent patch.
Tested on the following arch: x86, arm64, loongarch, and
riscv.
The earlier implementation details can be found here:

gcov: use atomic counter updates to fix concurrent access crashes
GCC's GCOV instrumentation can merge global branch counters with loop induction variables as an optimization. In inflate_fast(), the inner copy loops get transformed so that the GCOV counter value is loaded multiple times to compute the loop base address, start index, and end bound. Since GCOV counters are global (not per-CPU), concurrent execution on different CPUs causes the counter to change between loads, producing inconsistent values and out-of-bounds memory writes. The crash manifests during IPComp (IP Payload Compression) processing when inflate_fast() runs concurrently on multiple CPUs: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffd0a3c0902ffa RIP: inflate_fast+1431 Call Trace: zlib_inflate __deflate_decompress crypto_comp_decompress ipcomp_decompress [xfrm_ipcomp] ipcomp_input [xfrm_ipcomp] xfrm_input At the crash point, the compiler generated three loads from the same global GCOV counter (__gcov0.inflate_fast+216) to compute base, start, and end for an indexed loop. Another CPU modified the counter between loads, making the values inconsistent - the write went 3.4 MB past a 65 KB buffer. Add -fprofile-update=prefer-atomic to CFLAGS_GCOV at the global level in the top-level Makefile, guarded by a try-run compile test. The test compiles a minimal program with and without -fprofile-update=prefer-atomic using the full KBUILD_CFLAGS, then compares undefined symbols in the resulting object files. If prefer-atomic introduces new undefined references (such as __atomic_fetch_add_8 on i386 or __aarch64_ldadd8_relax on arm64 with outline-atomics), the flag is not added -- the kernel does not link against libatomic. On architectures where GCC inlines 64-bit atomic counter updates (x86_64, s390, ...) the test passes and the flag is enabled, preventing the compiler from merging counters with loop induction variables and fixing the observed concurrent-access crash. On architectures where the flag would introduce libatomic dependencies, it is silently omitted and behaviour is no worse than before this patch. Move the CFLAGS_GCOV block from its original position (before the arch Makefile include) to after the core KBUILD_CFLAGS assignments but before the scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins include. This placement ensures the try-run test sees arch-specific flags (-m32, -march=, -mno-outline-atomics) while avoiding GCC plugin flags (-fplugin=) that would break the test on clean builds when plugin shared objects do not yet exist.

slab: support for compiler-assisted type-based slab cache partitioning
Rework the general infrastructure around RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES into more flexible KMALLOC_PARTITION_CACHES, with the former being a partitioning mode of the latter. Introduce a new mode, KMALLOC_PARTITION_TYPED, which leverages a feature available in Clang 22 and later, called "allocation tokens" via __builtin_infer_alloc_token() [1]. Unlike KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM (formerly RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES), this mode deterministically assigns a slab cache to an allocation of type T, regardless of allocation site. The builtin __builtin_infer_alloc_token(<malloc-args>, ...) instructs the compiler to infer an allocation type from arguments commonly passed to memory-allocating functions and returns a type-derived token ID. The implementation passes kmalloc-args to the builtin: the compiler performs best-effort type inference, and then recognizes common patterns such as `kmalloc(sizeof(T), ...)`, `kmalloc(sizeof(T) * n, ...)`, but also `(T *)kmalloc(...)`. Where the compiler fails to infer a type the fallback token (default: 0) is chosen. Note: kmalloc_obj(..) APIs fix the pattern how size and result type are expressed, and therefore ensures there's not much drift in which patterns the compiler needs to recognize. Specifically, kmalloc_obj() and friends expand to `(TYPE *)KMALLOC(__obj_size, GFP)`, which the compiler recognizes via the cast to TYPE*. Clang's default token ID calculation is described as [1]: typehashpointersplit: This mode assigns a token ID based on the hash of the allocated type's name, where the top half ID-space is reserved for types that contain pointers and the bottom half for types that do not contain pointers. Separating pointer-containing objects from pointerless objects and data allocations can help mitigate certain classes of memory corruption exploits [2]: attackers who gains a buffer overflow on a primitive buffer cannot use it to directly corrupt pointers or other critical metadata in an object residing in a different, isolated heap region. It is important to note that heap isolation strategies offer a best-effort approach, and do not provide a 100% security guarantee, albeit achievable at relatively low performance cost. Note that this also does not prevent cross-cache attacks: while waiting for future features like SLAB_VIRTUAL [3] to provide physical page isolation, this feature should be deployed alongside SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR and init_on_free=1 to mitigate cross-cache attacks and page-reuse attacks as much as possible today. With all that, my kernel (x86 defconfig) shows me a histogram of slab cache object distribution per /proc/slabinfo (after boot): <slab cache> <objs> <hist> kmalloc-part-15 1465 ++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-14 2988 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-13 1656 ++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-12 1045 ++++++++++ kmalloc-part-11 1697 ++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-10 1489 ++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-09 965 +++++++++ kmalloc-part-08 710 +++++++ kmalloc-part-07 100 + kmalloc-part-06 217 ++ kmalloc-part-05 105 + kmalloc-part-04 4047 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-03 183 + kmalloc-part-02 283 ++ kmalloc-part-01 316 +++ kmalloc 1422 ++++++++++++++ The above /proc/slabinfo snapshot shows me there are 6673 allocated objects (slabs 00 - 07) that the compiler claims contain no pointers or it was unable to infer the type of, and 12015 objects that contain pointers (slabs 08 - 15). On a whole, this looks relatively sane. Additionally, when I compile my kernel with -Rpass=alloc-token, which provides diagnostics where (after dead-code elimination) type inference failed, I see 186 allocation sites where the compiler failed to identify a type (down from 966 when I sent the RFC [4]). Some initial review confirms these are mostly variable sized buffers, but also include structs with trailing flexible length arrays.

The lint does not have much upside -- when the suggestion may be a good
one, it would still read fine when nested anyway. And it is the kind of
lint that may easily bias people to just apply the suggestion instead
of allowing it.
[ In addition, as Gary points out [3], the suggestion is also wrong [4] and
in the process of being fixed [5], possibly for Rust 1.97.0:

kbuild: Never respect CONFIG_WERROR / W=e to fixdep
The fixdep hostprog may be built multiple times during a single build.
Once during the configuration phase and later during the regular phase.
As only the regular build phase respects CONFIG_WERROR / W=e, the
compiler flags might change between the phases, leading to rebuilds.
Example, the rebuilds will happen twice on each invocation of the build:
$ make allyesconfig prepare
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/deleteme'
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
#
# No change to .config
#
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/deleteme'
Fix the compilation flags used for scripts/basic/ before
scripts/Makefile.warn is evaluated to stop CONFIG_WERROR / W=e
influencing the fixdep build to avoid the spurious rebuilds.

Rust changes for v7.1
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1).
As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are going
to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum versions.
Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and
'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g.
kernel developers to upgrade.
Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high enough
as well, including:
+ Arch Linux.
+ Fedora Linux.
+ Gentoo Linux.
+ Nix.
+ openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
+ Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using
their versioned packages.
The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and
simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both bumps,
as well as documentation updates.
In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum'
feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status' enum
used in Binder.
Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/ [1]
- Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that
inlines C helpers into Rust.
Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the
helpers, i.e. very local and fast.
It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires
a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major version,
'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled for two
architectures for now.
The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that
different users have tested. For instance, for the null block driver,
it amounts to a 2%.
- Support global per-version flags.
While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't
have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler version,
i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to e.g. tweak
the lints set per version.
Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0,
since it had a change in behavior.
- Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder, which
wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'.
- Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the
previous cycle).
'kernel' crate:
- Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of
'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or
implementation bodies, e.g.:
fn f<const N: usize>() {
const_assert!(N > 1);
}
fn g<T>() {
const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST");
}
In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros
('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert'
module.
Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are different
from one another and how to pick the right one to use, and their
equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra clarity.
- 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait.
This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in
device address spaces where the address width depends on the hardware
(e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.), e.g.:
let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M;
let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M;
- 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus simplify
the users in Tyr and PWM.
- 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'.
- 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to
explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the
other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"').
- Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such use
in the 'task' module.
- 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted'
outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining
instances and finally remove the re-exports.
- 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)',
including runtime-tested examples.
The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of
the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a case
of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it.
Timekeeping:
- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.
- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.
- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.
'pin-init' crate:
- Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of
'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'.
- Improve feature gate handling for unstable features.
- Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for
tuples.
- Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'.
rust-analyzer:
- Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'.
- Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs',
'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs').
- Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host and
target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.
And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements.

kbuild: expand inlining hints with -fdiagnostics-show-inlining-chain
Clang recently added -fdiagnostics-show-inlining-chain [1] to improve the visibility of inlining chains in diagnostics. This is particularly useful for CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE where detections can happen deep in inlined functions. Add this flag to KBUILD_CFLAGS under a cc-option so it is enabled if the compiler supports it. Note that GCC does not have an equivalent flag as it supports a similar diagnostic structure unconditionally.

rust: kbuild: allow clippy::precedence for Rust < 1.86.0
The Clippy `precedence` lint was extended in Rust 1.85.0 to include
bitmasking and shift operations [1]. However, because it generated
many hits, in Rust 1.86.0 it was split into a new `precedence_bits`
lint which is not enabled by default [2].
In other words, only Rust 1.85 has a different behavior. For instance,
it reports:
warning: operator precedence can trip the unwary

|
While so far we try our best to keep all versions Clippy-clean, the
minimum (which is now Rust 1.85.0 after the bump) and the latest stable
are the most important ones; and this may be considered a "false positive"
with respect to the behavior in other versions.
Thus allow this lint for this version using the per-version flags
mechanism introduced in the previous commit.

rust: kbuild: support global per-version flags
Sometimes it is useful to gate global Rust flags per compiler version. For instance, we may want to disable a lint that has false positives in a single version [1]. We already had helpers like `rustc-min-version` for that, which we use elsewhere, but we cannot currently use them for `rust_common_flags`, which contains the global flags for all Rust code (kernel and host), because `rustc-min-version` depends on `CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION`, which does not exist when `rust_common_flags` is defined. Thus, to support that, introduce `rust_common_flags_per_version`, defined after the `include/config/auto.conf` inclusion (where `CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION` becomes available), and append it to `rust_common_flags`, `KBUILD_HOSTRUSTFLAGS` and `KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS`. In addition, move the expansion of `HOSTRUSTFLAGS` to the same place, so that users can also override per-version flags [2].

rust: allow globally clippy::incompatible_msrv
`clippy::incompatible_msrv` is not buying us much, and we discussed allowing it several times in the past. For instance, there was recently another patch sent to `allow` it where needed [1]. While that particular case would not be needed after the minimum version bump to 1.85.0, it is simpler to just allow it to prevent future instances.

The reason it only triggers in that version is that the lint was moved
from `pedantic` to `style` in Rust 1.88.0 and then back to `pedantic`
in Rust 1.89.0 [2][3].
In the first case, the suggestion is fair and a pure simplification, thus
we will clean it up separately.
To keep the behavior the same across all versions, and since the lint
does not work for all macros (e.g. custom ones like `pr_info!`), disable
it globally.

kbuild: rust: provide an option to inline C helpers into Rust
A new experimental Kconfig option, `RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is added to
allow C helpers (which were created to allow Rust to call into
inline/macro C functions without having to re-implement the logic in
Rust) to be inlined into Rust crates without performing global LTO.
If the option is enabled, the following is performed:
* For helpers, instead of compiling them to an object file to be linked
into vmlinux, they're compiled to LLVM IR bitcode. Two versions are
generated: one for built-in code (`helpers.bc`) and one for modules
(`helpers_module.bc`, with -DMODULE defined). This ensures that C
macros/inlines that behave differently for modules (e.g. static calls)
function correctly when inlined.
* When a Rust crate or object is compiled, instead of generating an
object file, LLVM bitcode is generated.
* llvm-link is invoked with --internalize to combine the helper bitcode
with the crate bitcode. This step is similar to LTO, but this is much
faster since it only needs to inline the helpers.
* clang is invoked to turn the combined bitcode into a final object file.
* Since clang may produce LLVM bitcode when LTO is enabled, and objtool
requires ELF input, $(cmd_ld_single) is invoked to ensure the object
is converted to ELF before objtool runs.
The --internalize flag tells llvm-link to treat all symbols in
helpers.bc using `internal` linkage [1]. This matches the behavior of
`clang` on `static inline` functions, and avoids exporting the symbol
from the object file.
To ensure that RUST_INLINE_HELPERS is not incompatible with BTF, we pass
the -g0 flag when building helpers. See commit

kbuild: reduce output spam when building out of tree
The execution of $(call cmd,makefile) will print 'GEN Makefile' on each build, even if the Makefile is not effectively changed. Use a filechk command instead, so a message is only printed on changes. The Makefile is now created even if the build is aborted due to an unclean working tree. That should not make a difference in practice.

kbuild: Reduce the number of compiler-generated suffixes for clang thin-lto build
The current clang thin-lto build often produces lots of symbols with
suffix. The following is a partial list of such function call symbols:
...
ethnl_module_fw_flash_ntf.llvm.7631589765585346066
__nf_conntrack_alloc.llvm.6438426151906658917
tcp_can_early_drop.llvm.11937612064648250727
tcp_print_conntrack.llvm.11937612064648250727
...
In my particular build with current bpf-next, the number of '*.llvm.<hash>'
function calls is 1212. As the side effect of cross-file inlining,
some static variables may be promoted with '*.llvm.<hash>' as well.
In my same setup, the number of variables with such suffixes is 9.
Such symbols make kernel live patching difficult since
- a minor code change will change the hash and then the '*.llvm.<hash>'
symbol becomes another one with a different hash. Sometimes, maybe
the suffix is gone.
- a previous source-level symbol may become a one with suffix after live
patching code.
In [1], Song Liu suggested to reduce the number of '*.llvm.<hash>' functions
to make live patch easier. In respond of this, I implemented this
in llvm ([2]). The same thin-lto build with [2] only has two symbols with
suffix:
m_stop.llvm.14460341347352036579
m_next.llvm.14460341347352036579
This should make live patch much easier.
To support suffix symbol reduction, two lld flags are necessary to enable
this feature in kernel:
- Flag '--lto-whole-program-visibility' is needed as it ensures that all
non-assembly files are available in the same thin-lto lld, which is true
for kernel.
- Flag '-mllvm -always-rename-promoted-locals=false' is needed to enable
suffix reduction. Currently in llvm [1], only process mode is supported.
There is another distributed mode (across different processes or even
different machines) which is not supported yet ([2]). The kernel uses
process mode so it should work.
The assembly files may have some global functions/data which may potentially
conflict with thin-lto global symbols after the above two flags. But such assembly
global symbols are limited and tend to be uniquely named for its context.
Hence the conflict with globals in non-assembly codes is rare. If indeed the
conflict happens, we can rename either of them to avoid conflicts.
Nathan Chancellor suggested the following under thin-lto:
KBUILD_LDFLAGS += $(call ld-option,--lto-whole-program-visibility -mllvm -always-rename-promoted-locals=false)
The '-mllvm -always-rename-promoted-locals=false' flag is only available for llvm23.
So for llvm22 or earlier, the above KBUILD_LDFLAGS will ignore those two flags.
For llvm23 and later, two flags will be added to KBUILD_LDFLAGS.

Rust fixes for v7.0 (2nd)
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Remap paths to avoid absolute ones starting with the upcoming Rust
1.95.0 release. This improves build reproducibility, avoids leaking
the exact path and avoids having the same path appear in two forms.
The approach here avoids remapping debug information as well, in
order to avoid breaking tools that used the paths to access source
files, which was the previous attempt that needed to be reverted.
- Allow 'unused_features' lint for the upcoming Rust 1.96.0 release.
While well-intentioned, we do not benefit much from the new lint.
- Emit dependency information into '$(depfile)' directly to avoid
a temporary '.d' file (it was an old approach).
'kernel' crate:
- 'str' module: fix warning under '!CONFIG_BLOCK' by making
'NullTerminatedFormatter' public.
- 'cpufreq' module: suppress false positive Clippy warning.
'pin-init' crate:
- Remove '#[disable_initialized_field_access]' attribute which was
unsound. This means removing the support for structs with unaligned
fields (through the 'repr(packed)' attribute), for now.
And document the load-bearing fact of field accessors (i.e. that they
are required for soundness).
- Replace shadowed return token by 'unsafe'-to-create token in order
to remain sound in the face of the likely upcoming Type Alias Impl
Trait (TAIT) and the next trait solver in upstream Rust.

rust: kbuild: allow unused_features
Starting with the upcoming Rust 1.96.0 (to be released 2026-05-28),
`rustc` introduces the new lint `unused_features` [1], which warns [2]:
warning: feature `used_with_arg` is declared but not used
--> <crate attribute>:1:93
|
1 | #![feature(asm_const,asm_goto,arbitrary_self_types,lint_reasons,offset_of_nested,raw_ref_op,used_with_arg)]
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unused_features)]` (part of `#[warn(unused)]`) on by default
The original goal of using `-Zcrate-attr` automatically was that there
is a consistent set of features enabled and managed globally for all
Rust kernel code (modulo exceptions like the `rust/` crated).
While we could require crates to enable features manually (even if we
still keep the `-Zallow-features=` list, i.e. removing the `-Zcrate-attr`
list), it is not really worth making all developers worry about it just
for a new lint.
The features are expected to eventually become stable anyway (most already
did), and thus having to remove features in every file that may use them
is not worth it either.
Thus just allow the new lint globally.
The lint actually existed for a long time, which is why `rustc` does
not complain about an unknown lint in the stable versions we support,
but it was "disabled" years ago [3], and now it was made to work again.
For extra context, the new implementation of the lint has already been
improved to avoid linting about features that became stable thanks to
Benno's report and the ensuing discussion [4] [5], but while that helps,
it is still the case that we may have features enabled that are not used
for one reason or another in a particular crate.

All remaining uses of '-std=gnu11' and '-fms-extensions' are in the tools directory (which has its own build system) and other standalone Makefiles. This will allow the kernel to use a narrower option to enable the Microsoft anonymous tagged structure extension in a simpler manner. Place the CC_FLAGS_DIALECT block after the configuration include (so that a future change can move the selection of the flag to Kconfig) but before the arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile include (so that CC_FLAGS_DIALECT is available for use in those Makefiles).

rust: build: remap path to avoid absolute path
When building with an out directory (O=), absolute paths can end up in the file name in `#[track_caller]` or the panic message. This is not desirable as this leaks the exact path being used to build the kernel and means that the same location can appear in two forms (relative or absolute). This is reported by Asahi [1] and is being workaround in [2] previously to force everything to be absolute path. Using absolute path for everything solves the inconsistency, however it does not address the reproducibility issue. So, fix this by remap all absolute paths to srctree to relative path instead. This is previously attempted in commit |

Updates for the VDSO subsystem:
- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number from
the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to make it
work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to pass
-fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when __beNN
types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a special
'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate the Generic
in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the problem,
but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity check to sparse
builds, which validates that sparse is available and capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function call
overhead and problems with automatic stack variable initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than the
un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

Locking updates for v6.20:
Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context
checking, using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context
analysis features. (Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context
tracking Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which
are false positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of
false positive context tracking Sparse warnings grows to
over 5,200... On the plus side of the balance actual locking
bugs found by Sparse context analysis is also rather ... sparse:
I found only 3 such commits in the last 3 years. So the
rate of false positives and the maintenance overhead is
rather high and there appears to be no active policy in
place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move the
annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive
in trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has
a different model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by
subsystem, which results in zero warnings on all relevant
kernel builds (as far as our testing managed to cover it).
Which allowed us to enable it by default, similar to other
compiler warnings, with the expectation that there are no
warnings going forward. This enforces a zero-warnings baseline
on clang-22+ builds. (Which are still limited in distribution,
admittedly.)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more
subsystems and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking
can be enabled for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y
(default disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )
Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng)
- Add support for Atomic<i8/i16/bool> and replace most Rust native
AtomicBool usages with Atomic<bool>
- Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation
- Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce
- Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be
- Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for
helper LTO
- Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional
function calls.
WW mutexes:
- Extend ww_mutex tests and other test-ww_mutex updates (John Stultz)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline
(Arnd Bergmann)
- locking/local_lock: Include more missing headers (Peter Zijlstra)
- seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc (Randy Dunlap)

kbuild: rust: clean libpin_init_internal in mrproper
When I enabled Rust compilation, I wanted to clean up its output, so I
used make mrproper. However, I was still able to find that
libpin_init_internal.so in the rust directory was not deleted, while
all other corresponding outputs were cleared.
Thus add it to the `MRPROPER_FILES` list.

kbuild: Reject unexpected values for LLVM=
The LLVM argument is documented to accept one of three forms: * a literal '1' to use the default 'clang', * a toolchain prefix path, ending in a trailing '/', * a version suffix. All other values are silently treated as '1'. If for example the user accidentally forgets the trailing '/' of a toolchain prefix, kbuild will unexpectedly and silently fall back to the system toolchain. Instead report an error if the user specified an invalid value for LLVM.

compiler: Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The recent changes to get_unaligned() resulted in a new sparse warning: net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) @@ expected void * @@ got restricted __be64 const * @@ net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: expected void * net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: got restricted __be64 const * The updated get_unaligned_t() uses __unqual_scalar_typeof() to get an unqualified type. This works correctly for the compilers, but fails for sparse when the data type is __be64 (or any other __beNN variant). On sparse runs (C=[12]) __beNN types are annotated with __attribute__((bitwise)). That annotation allows sparse to detect incompatible operations on __beNN variables, but it also prevents sparse from evaluating the _Generic() in __unqual_scalar_typeof() and map __beNN to a unqualified scalar type, so it ends up with the default, i.e. the original qualified type of a 'const __beNN' pointer. That then ends up as the first pointer argument to builtin_memcpy(), which obviously causes the above sparse warnings. The sparse git tree supports typeof_unqual() now, which allows to use it instead of the _Generic() based __unqual_scalar_typeof(). With that sparse correctly evaluates the unqualified type and keeps the __beNN logic intact. The downside is that this requires a top of tree sparse build and an old sparse version will emit a metric ton of incomprehensible error messages before it dies with a segfault. Therefore implement a sanity check which validates that the checker is available and capable of handling typeof_unqual(). Emit a warning if not so the user can take informed action.

compiler_types.h: Attributes: Add __counted_by_ptr macro
Introduce __counted_by_ptr(), which works like __counted_by(), but for
pointer struct members.
struct foo {
int a, b, c;
char *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bytes);
short nr_bars;
struct bar *bars __counted_by_ptr(nr_bars);
size_t bytes;
};
Because "counted_by" can only be applied to pointer members in very
recent compiler versions, its application ends up needing to be distinct
from flexibe array "counted_by" annotations, hence a separate macro.
This is a reworking of Kees' previous patch [1].

compiler-context-analysis: Add infrastructure for Context Analysis with Clang
Context Analysis is a language extension, which enables statically checking that required contexts are active (or inactive), by acquiring and releasing user-definable "context locks". An obvious application is lock-safety checking for the kernel's various synchronization primitives (each of which represents a "context lock"), and checking that locking rules are not violated. Clang originally called the feature "Thread Safety Analysis" [1]. This was later changed and the feature became more flexible, gaining the ability to define custom "capabilities". Its foundations can be found in "Capability Systems" [2], used to specify the permissibility of operations to depend on some "capability" being held (or not held). Because the feature is not just able to express "capabilities" related to synchronization primitives, and "capability" is already overloaded in the kernel, the naming chosen for the kernel departs from Clang's "Thread Safety" and "capability" nomenclature; we refer to the feature as "Context Analysis" to avoid confusion. The internal implementation still makes references to Clang's terminology in a few places, such as `-Wthread-safety` being the warning option that also still appears in diagnostic messages. [1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html [2] https://www.cs.cornell.edu/talc/papers/capabilities.pdf See more details in the kernel-doc documentation added in this and subsequent changes. Clang version 22+ is required.

kbuild: Add top-level target for building gen_init_cpio
Add a top-level target for building gen_init_cpio to prevent re-entering kbuild for 'modules-cpio-pkg'. The recently introduced target 'modules-cpio-pkg' depends on gen_init_cpio but there is no simple way to add this dependency as a prerequisite that can be built in parallel to other recipes. Introducing the top-level target, enables fixing this and also prepares a possible move of gen_init_cpio from usr/ to scripts/.

kbuild: Sync kconfig when PAHOLE_VERSION changes
This patch implements kconfig re-sync when the pahole version changes between builds, similar to how it happens for compiler version change via CC_VERSION_TEXT. Define PAHOLE_VERSION in the top-level Makefile and export it for config builds. Set CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION default to the exported variable. Kconfig records the PAHOLE_VERSION value in include/config/auto.conf.cmd [1]. The Makefile includes auto.conf.cmd, so if PAHOLE_VERSION changes between builds, make detects a dependency change and triggers syncconfig to update the kconfig [2]. For external module builds, add a warning message in the prepare target, similar to the existing compiler version mismatch warning. Note that if pahole is not installed or available, PAHOLE_VERSION is set to 0 by pahole-version.sh, so the (un)installation of pahole is treated as a version change. See previous discussions for context [3].

dt-bindings: kbuild: Support single binding targets
Running the full 'make dt_binding_check' is slow. A shortcut is to set DT_SCHEMA_FILES env variable to a substring of DT schema files to test. It both limits which examples are validated and which schemas are used to validate the examples. This is a problem because errors from other schemas are missed. What makes validation slow is checking all examples, so we really just need a way to test a single example. Add a %.yaml target to validate the schema and validate the example: make example-schema.yaml The behavior for 'make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=example-schema' is unchanged. Really it should mirror dtbs_check and validate all the examples with a subset of schemas, but there are lots of users of expecting the existing behavior.

trace_<tracepoint>() called), it can take up to or more than 5K of memory
each. This can add up as there are around a hundred unused tracepoints with
various configs. That is 500K of wasted memory.
Add a make build parameter of "UT=1" to have the build warn if an unused
tracepoint is detected in the build. This allows detection of unused
tracepoints to be upstream so that outreachy and the mentoring project can
have new developers look for fixing them, without having these warnings
suddenly show up when someone upgrades their kernel. When all known unused
tracepoints are removed, then the "UT=1" build parameter can be removed and
unused tracepoints will always warn. This will catch new unused tracepoints
after the current ones have been removed.
- Separate out elf functions from sorttable.c
Move out the ELF parsing functions from sorttable.c so that the tracing
tooling can use it.
- Add a tracepoint verifier tool to the build process
If "UT=1" is added to the kernel command line, any unused tracepoints will
trigger a warning at build time.
- Do not warn about unused tracepoints for tracepoints that are exported
There are sever cases where a tracepoint is created by the kernel and used
by modules. Since there's no easy way to detect if these are truly unused
since the users are in modules, if a tracepoint is exported, assume it
will eventually be used by a module. Note, there's not many exported
tracepoints so this should not be a problem to ignore them.
- Have building of modules also detect unused tracepoints
Do not only check the main vmlinux for unused tracepoints, also check
modules. If a module is defining a tracepoint it should be using it.
- Add the tracepoint-update program to the ignore file
The new tracepoint-update program needs to be ignored by git.

Rust changes for v6.19
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add support for 'syn'.
Syn is a parsing library for parsing a stream of Rust tokens into a
syntax tree of Rust source code.
Currently this library is geared toward use in Rust procedural
macros, but contains some APIs that may be useful more generally.
'syn' allows us to greatly simplify writing complex macros such as
'pin-init' (Benno has already prepared the 'syn'-based version). We
will use it in the 'macros' crate too.
'syn' is the most downloaded Rust crate (according to crates.io), and
it is also used by the Rust compiler itself. While the amount of code
is substantial, there should not be many updates needed for these
crates, and even if there are, they should not be too big, e.g. +7k
-3k lines across the 3 crates in the last year.
'syn' requires two smaller dependencies: 'quote' and 'proc-macro2'.
I only modified their code to remove a third dependency
('unicode-ident') and to add the SPDX identifiers. The code can be
easily verified to exactly match upstream with the provided scripts.
They are all licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", like the other
vendored 'alloc' crate we had for a while.
Please see the merge commit with the cover letter for more context.
- Allow 'unreachable_pub' and 'clippy::disallowed_names' for doctests.
Examples (i.e. doctests) may want to do things like show public items
and use names such as 'foo'.
Nevertheless, we still try to keep examples as close to real code as
possible (this is part of why running Clippy on doctests is important
for us, e.g. for safety comments, which userspace Rust does not
support yet but we are stricter).
'kernel' crate:
- Replace our custom 'CStr' type with 'core::ffi::CStr'.
Using the standard library type reduces our custom code footprint,
and we retain needed custom functionality through an extension trait
and a new 'fmt!' macro which replaces the previous 'core' import.
This started in 6.17 and continued in 6.18, and we finally land the
replacement now. This required quite some stamina from Tamir, who
split the changes in steps to prepare for the flag day change here.
- Replace 'kernel::c_str!' with C string literals.
C string literals were added in Rust 1.77, which produce '&CStr's
(the 'core' one), so now we can write:
c"hi"
instead of:
c_str!("hi")
- Add 'num' module for numerical features.
It includes the 'Integer' trait, implemented for all primitive
integer types.
It also includes the 'Bounded' integer wrapping type: an integer
value that requires only the 'N' less significant bits of the wrapped
type to be encoded:
// An unsigned 8-bit integer, of which only the 4 LSBs are used.
let v = Bounded::<u8, 4>:🆕:<15>();
assert_eq!(v.get(), 15);
'Bounded' is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with
bitfields that have an arbitrary number of bits.
Values can be constructed from simple non-constant expressions or,
for more complex ones, validated at runtime.
'Bounded' also comes with comparison and arithmetic operations (with
both their backing type and other 'Bounded's with a compatible
backing type), casts to change the backing type, extending/shrinking
and infallible/fallible conversions from/to primitives as applicable.
- 'rbtree' module: add immutable cursor ('Cursor').
It enables to use just an immutable tree reference where appropriate.
The existing fully-featured mutable cursor is renamed to 'CursorMut'.
kallsyms:
- Fix wrong "big" kernel symbol type read from procfs.
'pin-init' crate:
- A couple minor fixes (Benno asked me to pick these patches up for
him this cycle).
Documentation:
- Quick Start guide: add Debian 13 (Trixie).
Debian Stable is now able to build Linux, since Debian 13 (released
2025-08-09) packages Rust 1.85.0, which is recent enough.
We are planning to propose that the minimum supported Rust version in
Linux follows Debian Stable releases, with Debian 13 being the first
one we upgrade to, i.e. Rust 1.85.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add entry for the new 'num' module.
- Remove Alex as Rust maintainer: he hasn't had the time to contribute
for a few years now, so it is a no-op change in practice.
And a few other cleanups and improvements.

This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules that
are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been pulled
together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for documentation-related
programs. There is other Python code in the tree that might eventually
want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer used by
default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who actually had
to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that few
dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will be far
easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an end to
the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.
- A lot of Chinese translation additions
- Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
permission checks during path lookup and adds the
IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC flag so filesystems like btrfs can avoid
expensive permission work.
- Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.
- Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.
Cleanups:
- Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved
code generation.
- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.
- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.
- Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().
- Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
initrd code.
- Various typo fixes.
Fixes:
- Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path
never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency
sync.
- Use local kmap in watch_queue's post_one_notification().
- Add hint prints in sb_set_blocksize() for LBS dependency on THP"

kbuild: Enable GCC diagnostic context for value-tracking warnings
Enable GCC 16's coming "-fdiagnostics-show-context=N" option[1] to provide enhanced diagnostic information for value-tracking warnings, which displays the control flow chain leading to the diagnostic. This covers our existing use of -Wrestrict and -Wstringop-overread, and gets us closer to enabling -Warray-bounds, -Wstringop-overflow, and -Wstringop-truncation, so we can track the rationale for the warning, letting us more quickly identify actual issues vs what have looked in the past like false positives. Fixes based on this work have already been landing, e.g.: |

rust: proc-macro2: enable support in kbuild
With all the new files in place and ready from the new crate, enable the support for it in the build system. `proc_macro_byte_character` and `proc_macro_c_str_literals` were stabilized in Rust 1.79.0 [1] and were implemented earlier than our minimum Rust version (1.78) [2][3]. Thus just enable them instead of using the `cfg` that `proc-macro2` uses to emulate them in older compilers. In addition, skip formatting for this vendored crate and take the chance to add a comment mentioning this.

kbuild: allow architectures to override CC_CAN_LINK
The generic test for CC_CAN_LINK assumes that all architectures use -m32 and -m64 to switch between 32-bit and 64-bit compilation. This is overly simplistic. Architectures may use other flags (-mabi, -m31, etc.) or may also require byte order handling (-mlittle-endian, -EL). Expressing all of the different possibilities will be very complicated and brittle. Instead allow architectures to supply their own logic which will be easy to understand and evolve. Both the boolean ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK and the string ARCH_USERFLAGS need to be implemented as kconfig does not allow the reuse of string options.

Kbuild: enable -fms-extensions
Once in a while, it turns out that enabling -fms-extensions could allow some slightly prettier code. But every time it has come up, the code that had to be used instead has been deemed "not too awful" and not worth introducing another compiler flag for. That's probably true for each individual case, but then it's somewhat of a chicken/egg situation. If we just "bite the bullet" as Linus says and enable it once and for all, it is available whenever a use case turns up, and no individual case has to justify it. A lore.kernel.org search provides these examples: - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/200706301813.58435.agruen@suse.de/ - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180419152817.GD25406@bombadil.infradead.org/ - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/170622208395.21664.2510213291504081000@noble.neil.brown.name/ - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87h6475w9q.fsf@prevas.dk/ - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjeZwww6Zswn6F_iZTpUihTSNKYppLqj36iQDDhfntuEw@mail.gmail.com/ Undoubtedly, there are more places in the code where this could also be used but where -fms-extensions just didn't come up in any discussion.
