6522fe5c1b um: Disable GCOV_PROFILE_ALL on 32-bit UML with Clang 20/21 
Clang 20 and 21 miscompute __builtin_object_size() when -fprofile-arcs
is active on 32-bit UML targets, which passes incorrect object size
calculations for local variables through always_inline copy_to_user()
and check_copy_size(), causing spurious compile-time errors:

  include/linux/ucopysize.h:52:4: error: call to '__bad_copy_from' declared with 'error' attribute: copy source size is too small

The regression was introduced in LLVM commit 02b8ee281947 ("[llvm]
Improve llvm.objectsize computation by computing GEP, alloca and malloc
parameters bound"), which shipped in Clang 20. It was fixed in LLVM
by commit 45b697e610fd ("[MemoryBuiltins] Consider index type size
when aggregating gep offsets"), which was backported to the LLVM 22.x
release branch.

The bug requires 32-bit UML + GCOV_PROFILE_ALL (which uses -fprofile-arcs),
though the exact trigger depends on optimizer decisions influenced by other
enabled configs.

Prevent the bad combination by disabling UML's ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL
on 32-bit when using Clang 20.x or 21.x.

Building ARCH=um on glibc >= 2.43 fails:

  arch/um/drivers/cow_user.c: error: implicit declaration of

glibc 2.43's C23 const-preserving strrchr() macro does not survive
UML's global -Dstrrchr=kernel_strrchr remap from arch/um/Makefile.
Call kernel_strrchr() directly in cow_user.c so the source no longer
depends on the -D rewrite.

6215d9f447 arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page 
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

e20043b476 xor: make xor.ko self-contained in lib/raid/ 
Move the asm/xor.h headers to lib/raid/xor/$(SRCARCH)/xor_arch.h and
include/linux/raid/xor_impl.h to lib/raid/xor/xor_impl.h so that the
xor.ko module implementation is self-contained in lib/raid/.

As this remove the asm-generic mechanism a new kconfig symbol is added to
indicate that a architecture-specific implementations exists, and
xor_arch.h should be included.

3ea16a9851 um/xor: cleanup xor.h 
Since commit c055e3eae0 ("crypto: xor - use ktime for template
benchmarking") the benchmarking works just fine even for TT_MODE_INFCPU,
so drop the workarounds.  Note that for CPUs supporting AVX2, which
includes almost everything built in the last 10 years, the AVX2
implementation is forced anyway.

CONFIG_X86_32 is always correctly set for UM in arch/x86/um/Kconfig, so
don't override it either.

8aae2da610 um: Replace strncpy() with strnlen()+memcpy_and_pad() in strncpy_chunk_from_user() 
Replace the deprecated[1] strncpy() with strnlen() on the source
followed by memcpy_and_pad().

This function is a chunk callback for UML's strncpy_from_user()
implementation, called by buffer_op() to process userspace memory one
page at a time. The source is a kernel-mapped userspace address that
is not guaranteed to be NUL-terminated; "len" bounds how many bytes
to read from it.

By measuring the source string length first with strnlen(), we avoid
reading past the NUL terminator in the source. memcpy_and_pad() then
copies the string content and zero-fills the remainder of the chunk,
preserving the original strncpy() behavior exactly: copy up to the
first NUL, then pad with zeros to the full length.

strtomem_pad() would be the idiomatic helper for this strnlen() +
memcpy_and_pad() pattern, but it requires a compile-time-determinable
destination size (via ARRAY_SIZE()). Here the destination is a char *
into a caller-provided buffer and the chunk length is a runtime value,
so the explicit two-step is necessary.

No behavioral change: the same bytes are written to the destination

92d5c5c04e um: Remove CONFIG_FRAME_WARN from x86_64_defconfig 
The CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024 setting in x86_64_defconfig originates
from arch/um/defconfig, which was split into i386_defconfig and
x86_64_defconfig by commit e40f04d040 ("arch/um: make it work
with defconfig and x86_64"). Currently, it's even smaller than the
default on 32bit (i.e., 1280). It's no longer suitable for 64bit.
Building with x86_64_defconfig triggers the following warning:

lib/maple_tree.c: In function ‘mas_wr_bnode’:
lib/maple_tree.c:3740:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
 3740 | }
      | ^

Since we have a larger CONFIG_KERNEL_STACK_ORDER on 64bit (twice
that of 32bit) by default, we could increase CONFIG_FRAME_WARN
accordingly. Let's remove the CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024 setting from
x86_64_defconfig and just use the default value (2048 for 64bit)
defined in lib/Kconfig.debug, as we do for 32bit.

cd4126d48f um: Fix pte_read() and pte_exec() for kernel mappings 
The pte_read() and pte_exec() helpers are only used during the TLB
sync to determine the read/exec permissions for mmap. However, for
kernel mappings, they will always return 0. This leads to kern_map()
having to unconditionally set the exec flag to 1 and the read flag
unexpectedly always being 0. Remove the unnecessary check for the
_PAGE_USER bit in these helpers to ensure that the kernel mapping
permissions can be correctly determined.

4076f73298 um: fix address-of CMSG_DATA() rvalue in stub 
The UML stub takes the address of CMSG_DATA(fd_msg):

    fd_map = (void *)&CMSG_DATA(fd_msg);

CMSG_DATA() is specified by POSIX to return unsigned char *.  Taking
its address is semantically wrong -- the intent is to get a pointer
to the control message data, which is exactly what CMSG_DATA()
already returns.

This happens to compile with glibc because glibc's primary
CMSG_DATA definition accesses a flexible array member:

    #define CMSG_DATA(cmsg) ((cmsg)->__cmsg_data)

An array lvalue can have its address taken, and &array yields the
same address as array.  However, glibc also has an alternative
definition that uses pointer arithmetic (returning an rvalue), and
musl's definition always uses pointer arithmetic:

    /* musl */
    #define CMSG_DATA(cmsg) \
        ((unsigned char *)(((struct cmsghdr *)(cmsg)) + 1))

Taking the address of an rvalue is a hard error in C, so the
current code fails to compile with musl libc.

Remove the erroneous & operator.  The resulting code is correct
regardless of the CMSG_DATA implementation -- it simply assigns the
data pointer, which is what the subsequent code (fd_map[--num_fds])
expects.

No functional change with glibc; fixes the build with musl.

kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS 
Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments 
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument 
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types 
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

d49004c5f0 arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map 
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture
calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone
limits.

Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between
allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map.  Some
architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain
cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes
hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().

With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it
is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup
code.  Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a
single place.

This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and
initialization.

Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and
place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately
after setup_arch().

After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations
and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map
initialization among different architectures.

As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to
mm_core_early_init().

531de7f02d um: introduce arch_zone_limits_init() 
Move calculations of zone limits to a dedicated arch_zone_limits_init()
function.

Later MM core will use this function as an architecture specific callback
during nodes and zones initialization and thus there won't be a need to
call free_area_init() from every architecture.

24c776355f kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users 
Remove <linux/hex.h> from <linux/kernel.h> and update all users/callers of
hex.h interfaces to directly #include <linux/hex.h> as part of the process
of putting kernel.h on a diet.

Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to
pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that
need it.

This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes.  Also,
all users/callers of <linux/hex.h> in the entire source tree have been
updated if needed (if not already #included).

8e38607aa4 treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variant 
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.

This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.

The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:

  - clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
  - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.

The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.

The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor.  Where
specific instructions support it (ex.  string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.

For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation.  This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.

Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:

 $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5

                       baseline              +series
                   (GBps +- %stdev)      (GBps +- %stdev)

   pg-sz=2MB       11.76 +- 1.10%        25.34 +- 1.18% [*]   +115.47%  	preempt=*

   pg-sz=1GB       24.85 +- 2.41%        39.22 +- 2.32%       + 57.82%  	preempt=none|voluntary
   pg-sz=1GB         (similar)           52.73 +- 0.20% [#]   +112.19%  	preempt=full|lazy

 [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
  allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.

 [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
  cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
  that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
  ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
  as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
  preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).

  When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
  cachelines on this path almost entirely.

  (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
   preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
   voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
   cond_resched().)

Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.

  $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10

                    base               patched              change
   pg-sz=2MB       12.731939 GB/sec    26.304263 GB/sec     106.6%
   pg-sz=1GB       26.232423 GB/sec    61.174836 GB/sec     133.2%


This patch (of 8):

Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.

We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.

Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage().  And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.

Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation.  There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused.  Not sure what's up with that.

need to ensure that accessing errno is async-signal-safe. Currently,

4f109baeea um: Fix incorrect __acquires/__releases annotations 
With Clang's context analysis, the compiler is a bit more strict about
what goes into the __acquires/__releases annotations and can't refer to
non-existent variables.

On an UM build, mm_id.h is transitively included into mm_types.h, and we
can observe the following error (if context analysis is enabled in e.g.
stackdepot.c):

   In file included from lib/stackdepot.c:17:

         |                                                     ^~~~~~~~~

One (discarded) option was to use token_context_lock(turnstile) to just
define a token with the already used name, but that would not allow the
compiler to distinguish between different mm_id-dependent instances.

Another constraint is that struct mm_id is only declared and incomplete
in the header, so even if we tried to construct an expression to get to
the mutex instance, this would fail (including more headers transitively
everywhere should also be avoided).

Instead, just declare an mm_id-dependent helper to return the mutex, and
use the mm_id-dependent call expression in the __acquires/__releases
attributes; the compiler will consider the identity of the mutex to be
the call expression. Then using __get_turnstile() in the lock/unlock
wrappers (with context analysis enabled for mmu.c) the compiler will be
able to verify the implementation of the wrappers as-is.

We leave context analysis disabled in arch/um/kernel/skas/ for now. This
change is a preparatory change to allow enabling context analysis in
subsystems that include any of the above headers.

No functional change intended.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic()
   callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
   Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.

   It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
   experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see

     https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org

   Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI
   context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ
   context:

     https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35

   In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
   the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
   the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
   in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
   consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.

 - Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.

 - Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
   suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
   the suspend.

 - Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
   legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.

 - Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
   prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
   ownership in the middle of a record

 - Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB

 - Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
   possible

 - Misc code clean up

a74b6c0e53 um: Don't rename vmap to kernel_vmap 
In order to work around the existence of a vmap symbol in libpcap, the
UML makefile unconditionally redefines vmap to kernel_vmap. However,
this not only affects the actual vmap symbol, but also anything else
named vmap, including a number of struct members in DRM.

This would not be too much of a problem, since all uses are also
updated, except we now have Rust DRM bindings, which expect the
corresponding Rust structs to have 'vmap' names. Since the redefinition
applies in bindgen, but not to Rust code, we end up with errors such as:

error[E0560]: struct `drm_gem_object_funcs` has no fields named `vmap`
  --> rust/kernel/drm/gem/mod.rs:210:9

Since libpcap support was removed in commit 12b8e7e69a ("um: Remove
obsolete pcap driver"), remove the, now unnecessary, define as well.

We also take this opportunity to update the comment.

70d52694b6 x86/um: Do not inherit vDSO from host 
Inheriting the vDSO from the host is problematic. The values read
from the time functions will not be correct for the UML kernel.
Furthermore the start and end of the vDSO are not stable or
detectable by userspace. Specifically the vDSO datapages start
before AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and the vDSO itself is larger than a single page.

This codepath is only used on 32bit x86 UML. In my testing with both
32bit and 64bit hosts the passthrough functionality has always been
disabled anyways due to the checks against envp in scan_elf_aux().

83b4b44a2b um: Split out default elf_aux_hwcap 
Setting all auxiliary vector values to default values if one of them
was not provided by the host will discard perfectly fine values.

Remove the elf_aux_platform fallback from the vDSO ones.
As zero is the correct fallback anyways, don't create a new conditional.

c1b0775151 x86/um: Move ELF_PLATFORM fallback to x86-specific code 
The generic UM code should not have references to x86-specific value.

Move the fallback into the x86-specific header.

Setting all auxiliary vector values to default values if one of them
was not provided by the host will discard perfectly fine values.

Move the elf_aux_platform fallback to its own conditional.
