initramfs: Refactor to use hex2bin() instead of custom approach
There is a simple_strntoul() function used solely as a shortcut for hex2bin() with proper endianess conversions. Replace that and drop the unneeded function in the next changes. This implementation will abort if we fail to parse the cpio header, instead of using potentially bogus header values.

initramfs_test: test header fields with 0x hex prefix
cpio header fields are 8-byte hex strings, but one "interesting" side-effect of our historic simple_str[n]toul() use means that a "0x" (or "0X") prefixed header field will be successfully processed when coupled alongside a 6-byte hex remainder string. "0x" prefix support is contrary to the initramfs specification at Documentation/driver-api/early-userspace/buffer-format.rst which states: The structure of the cpio_header is as follows (all fields contain hexadecimal ASCII numbers fully padded with '0' on the left to the full width of the field, for example, the integer 4780 is represented by the ASCII string "000012ac"): Test for this corner case by injecting "0x" prefixes into the uid, gid and namesize cpio header fields. Confirm that init_stat() returns matching uid and gid values. This test can be modified in future to expect unpack_to_rootfs() failure when header validation is changed to properly follow the specification. Add some missing struct kstat initializations to account for possible init_stat() failures.

initramfs_test: add fill_cpio() inject_ox parameter
fill_cpio() uses sprintf() to write out the in-memory cpio archive from an array of struct initramfs_test_cpio. This change allows callers to modify the cpio sprintf() format string so that future tests can intentionally corrupt the header with "0x" and "0X" prefixed fields.

sched/cache: Fix unpaired account_llc_enqueue/dequeue
There is a race condition that, after a task is enqueued
on a runqueue, task_llc(p) may change due to CPU hotplug,
because the llc_id is dynamically allocated and adjusted
at runtime.
Therefore, checking task_llc(p) to determine whether the
task is being dequeued from its preferred LLC is unreliable
and can cause inconsistent values.
To fix this problem, record whether p is enqueued on its
preferred LLC, in order to pair with account_llc_dequeue()
to maintain a consistent nr_pref_llc_running per runqueue.
This bug was reported by sashiko, and the solution was once
suggested by Prateek.
Fixes:

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.

bootconfig: move xbc_snprint_cmdline() to lib/bootconfig.c
Move xbc_snprint_cmdline() from init/main.c to lib/bootconfig.c so the function (and its xbc_namebuf scratch buffer) becomes part of the shared parser library. tools/bootconfig already compiles lib/bootconfig.c directly, which lets a follow-up patch reuse the same renderer in the userspace tool to convert a bootconfig file into a flat cmdline string at build time. No functional change.

sched_ext: Changes for v7.1
- Cgroup sub-scheduler groundwork. Multiple BPF schedulers can be attached to cgroups and the dispatch path is made hierarchical. This involves substantial restructuring of the core dispatch, bypass, watchdog, and dump paths to be per-scheduler, along with new infrastructure for scheduler ownership enforcement, lifecycle management, and cgroup subtree iteration.

Update to the VDSO subsystem:
- Make the handling of compat functions consistent and more robust
- Rework the underlying data store so that it is dynamically
allocated, which allows the conversion of the last holdout SPARC64
to the generic VDSO implementation
- Rework the SPARC64 VDSO to utilize the generic implementation
- Mop up the left overs of the non-generic VDSO support in the core
code.
- Expand the VDSO selftest and make them more robust
- Allow time namespaces to be enabled independently of the generic
VDSO support, which was not possible before due to SPARC64 not
using it.
- Various cleanups and improvements in the related code.

Driver core changes for 7.1-rc1
- debugfs:
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs_create_str()
- Fix misplaced EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for debugfs_create_str()
- Fix soundwire debugfs NULL pointer dereference from uninitialized
firmware_file
- device property:
- Make fwnode flags modifications thread safe; widen the field to
unsigned long and use set_bit() / clear_bit() based accessors
- Document how to check for the property presence
- devres:
- Separate struct devres_node from its "subclasses" (struct devres,
struct devres_group); give struct devres_node its own release and
free callbacks for per-type dispatch
- Introduce struct devres_action for devres actions, avoiding the
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment overhead of struct devres
- Export struct devres_node and its init/add/remove/dbginfo
primitives for use by Rust Devres<T>
- Fix missing node debug info in devm_krealloc()
- Use guard(spinlock_irqsave) where applicable; consolidate unlock
paths in devres_release_group()
- driver_override:
- Convert PCI, WMI, vdpa, s390/cio, s390/ap, and fsl-mc to the
generic driver_override infrastructure, replacing per-bus
driver_override strings, sysfs attributes, and match logic; fixes
a potential UAF from unsynchronized access to driver_override in
bus match() callbacks
- Simplify __device_set_driver_override() logic
- kernfs:
- Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED inotify events on kernfs
file and directory removal
- Add corresponding selftests for memcg
- platform:
- Allow attaching software nodes when creating platform devices via
a new 'swnode' field in struct platform_device_info
- Add kerneldoc for struct platform_device_info
- software node:
- Move software node initialization from postcore_initcall() to
driver_init(), making it available early in the boot process
- Move kernel_kobj initialization (ksysfs_init) earlier to support
the above
- Remove software_node_exit(); dead code in a built-in unit
- SoC:
- Introduce of_machine_read_compatible() and of_machine_read_model()
OF helpers and export soc_attr_read_machine() to replace direct
accesses to of_root from SoC drivers; also enables
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST coverage for these drivers
- sysfs:
- Constify attribute group array pointers to
'const struct attribute_group *const *' in sysfs functions,
device_add_groups() / device_remove_groups(), and struct class
- Rust:
- Devres:
- Embed struct devres_node directly in Devres<T> instead of going
through devm_add_action(), avoiding the extra allocation and
the unnecessary ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment
- I/O:
- Turn IoCapable from a marker trait into a functional trait
carrying the raw I/O accessor implementation (io_read /
io_write), providing working defaults for the per-type Io
methods
- Add RelaxedMmio wrapper type, making relaxed accessors usable
in code generic over the Io trait
- Remove overloaded per-type Io methods and per-backend macros
from Mmio and PCI ConfigSpace
- I/O (Register):
- Add IoLoc trait and generic read/write/update methods to the Io
trait, making I/O operations parameterizable by typed locations
- Add register! macro for defining hardware register types with
typed bitfield accessors backed by Bounded values; supports
direct, relative, and array register addressing
- Add write_reg() / try_write_reg() and LocatedRegister trait
- Update PCI sample driver to demonstrate the register! macro
Example:
```
register! {
/// UART control register.
CTRL(u32) @ 0x18 {
/// Receiver enable.
19:19 rx_enable => bool;
/// Parity configuration.
14:13 parity ?=> Parity;
}
/// FIFO watermark and counter register.
WATER(u32) @ 0x2c {
/// Number of datawords in the receive FIFO.
26:24 rx_count;
/// RX interrupt threshold.
17:16 rx_water;
}
}
impl WATER {
fn rx_above_watermark(&self) -> bool {
self.rx_count() > self.rx_water()
}
}
fn init(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
let water = WATER::zeroed()
.with_const_rx_water::<1>(); // > 3 would not compile
bar.write_reg(water);
let ctrl = CTRL::zeroed()
.with_parity(Parity::Even)
.with_rx_enable(true);
bar.write_reg(ctrl);
}

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
"debugfs:
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs_create_str()
- Fix misplaced EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for debugfs_create_str()
- Fix soundwire debugfs NULL pointer dereference from uninitialized
firmware_file
device property:
- Make fwnode flags modifications thread safe; widen the field to
unsigned long and use set_bit() / clear_bit() based accessors
- Document how to check for the property presence
devres:
- Separate struct devres_node from its "subclasses" (struct devres,
struct devres_group); give struct devres_node its own release and
free callbacks for per-type dispatch
- Introduce struct devres_action for devres actions, avoiding the
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment overhead of struct devres
- Export struct devres_node and its init/add/remove/dbginfo
primitives for use by Rust Devres<T>
- Fix missing node debug info in devm_krealloc()
- Use guard(spinlock_irqsave) where applicable; consolidate unlock
paths in devres_release_group()
driver_override:
- Convert PCI, WMI, vdpa, s390/cio, s390/ap, and fsl-mc to the
generic driver_override infrastructure, replacing per-bus
driver_override strings, sysfs attributes, and match logic; fixes a
potential UAF from unsynchronized access to driver_override in bus
match() callbacks
- Simplify __device_set_driver_override() logic
kernfs:
- Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED inotify events on kernfs file
and directory removal
- Add corresponding selftests for memcg
platform:
- Allow attaching software nodes when creating platform devices via a
new 'swnode' field in struct platform_device_info
- Add kerneldoc for struct platform_device_info
software node:
- Move software node initialization from postcore_initcall() to
driver_init(), making it available early in the boot process
- Move kernel_kobj initialization (ksysfs_init) earlier to support
the above
- Remove software_node_exit(); dead code in a built-in unit
SoC:
- Introduce of_machine_read_compatible() and of_machine_read_model()
OF helpers and export soc_attr_read_machine() to replace direct
accesses to of_root from SoC drivers; also enables
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST coverage for these drivers
sysfs:
- Constify attribute group array pointers to
'const struct attribute_group *const *' in sysfs functions,
device_add_groups() / device_remove_groups(), and struct class
Rust:
- Devres:
- Embed struct devres_node directly in Devres<T> instead of going
through devm_add_action(), avoiding the extra allocation and the
unnecessary ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment
- I/O:
- Turn IoCapable from a marker trait into a functional trait
carrying the raw I/O accessor implementation (io_read /
io_write), providing working defaults for the per-type Io
methods
- Add RelaxedMmio wrapper type, making relaxed accessors usable in
code generic over the Io trait
- Remove overloaded per-type Io methods and per-backend macros
from Mmio and PCI ConfigSpace
- I/O (Register):
- Add IoLoc trait and generic read/write/update methods to the Io
trait, making I/O operations parameterizable by typed locations
- Add register! macro for defining hardware register types with
typed bitfield accessors backed by Bounded values; supports
direct, relative, and array register addressing
- Add write_reg() / try_write_reg() and LocatedRegister trait
- Update PCI sample driver to demonstrate the register! macro
Example:
```
register! {
/// UART control register.
CTRL(u32) @ 0x18 {
/// Receiver enable.
19:19 rx_enable => bool;
/// Parity configuration.
14:13 parity ?=> Parity;
}
/// FIFO watermark and counter register.
WATER(u32) @ 0x2c {
/// Number of datawords in the receive FIFO.
26:24 rx_count;
/// RX interrupt threshold.
17:16 rx_water;
}
}
impl WATER {
fn rx_above_watermark(&self) -> bool {
self.rx_count() > self.rx_water()
}
}
fn init(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
let water = WATER::zeroed()
.with_const_rx_water::<1>(); // > 3 would not compile
bar.write_reg(water);
let ctrl = CTRL::zeroed()
.with_parity(Parity::Even)
.with_rx_enable(true);
bar.write_reg(ctrl);
}
fn handle_rx(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>) {
if bar.read(WATER).rx_above_watermark() {
// drain the FIFO
}
}
fn set_parity(bar: &pci::Bar<BAR0_SIZE>, parity: Parity) {

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.

sched/cache: Assign preferred LLC ID to processes
With cache-aware scheduling enabled, each task is assigned a preferred LLC ID.

sched/cache: Introduce infrastructure for cache-aware load balancing
Adds infrastructure to enable cache-aware load balancing, which improves cache locality by grouping tasks that share resources within the same cache domain. This reduces cache misses and improves overall data access efficiency. In this initial implementation, threads belonging to the same process are treated as entities that likely share working sets. The mechanism tracks per-process CPU occupancy across cache domains and attempts to migrate threads toward cache-hot domains where their process already has active threads, thereby enhancing locality. This provides a basic model for cache affinity. While the current code targets the last-level cache (LLC), the approach could be extended to other domain types such as clusters (L2) or node-internal groupings. At present, the mechanism selects the CPU within an LLC that has the highest recent runtime. Subsequent patches in this series will use this information in the load-balancing path to guide task placement toward preferred LLCs. In the future, more advanced policies could be integrated through NUMA balancing-for example, migrating a task to its preferred LLC when spare capacity exists, or swapping tasks across LLCs to improve cache affinity. Grouping of tasks could also be generalized from that of a process to be that of a NUMA group, or be user configurable.

mm: introduce CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION and simplify CONFIG_MIGRATION
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, CONFIG_COMPACTION and CONFIG_CMA all select CONFIG_MIGRATION, because they require it to work (users). Only CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING and CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION depend on CONFIG_MIGRATION. CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION is not an actual user, but an implementation of migration support, so the dependency is correct (CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION does not make any sense without CONFIG_MIGRATION). However, kconfig-language.rst clearly states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols". So far CONFIG_MIGRATION is user-visible ... and the dependencies rather confusing. The whole reason why CONFIG_MIGRATION is user-visible is because of CONFIG_NUMA: some users might want CONFIG_NUMA but not page migration support. Let's clean all that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION config option for that purpose only. Make CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING that so far depended on CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_MIGRATION to depend on CONFIG_MIGRATION instead. CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION will depend on CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_MMU. CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION is user-visible and will default to "y". We use that default so new configs will automatically enable it, just like it was the case with CONFIG_MIGRATION. The downside is that some configs that used to have CONFIG_MIGRATION=n might get it re-enabled by CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=y, which shouldn't be a problem. CONFIG_MIGRATION is now a non-visible config option. Any code that select CONFIG_MIGRATION (as before) must depend directly or indirectly on CONFIG_MMU. CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION is responsible for any NUMA migration code, which is mempolicy migration code, memory-tiering code, and move_pages() code in migrate.c. CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING uses its functionality. Note that this implies that with CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=n, move_pages() will not be available even though CONFIG_MIGRATION=y, which is an expected change. In migrate.c, we can remove the CONFIG_NUMA check as both CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION and CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING depend on it. With this change, CONFIG_MIGRATION is an internal config, all users of migration selects CONFIG_MIGRATION, and only CONFIG_BALLOON_MIGRATION depends on it.

Rust's suggestion [1] is also major-version only, so I think this check is sufficient for the kernel.

timens: Remove dependency on the vDSO
Previously, missing time namespace support in the vDSO meant that time namespaces needed to be disabled globally. This was expressed in a hard dependency on the generic vDSO library. This also meant that architectures without any vDSO or only a stub vDSO could not enable time namespaces. Now that all architectures using a real vDSO are using the generic library, that dependency is not necessary anymore. Remove the dependency and let all architectures enable time namespaces.

randomize_kstack: Unify random source across arches
Previously different architectures were using random sources of
differing strength and cost to decide the random kstack offset. A number
of architectures (loongarch, powerpc, s390, x86) were using their
timestamp counter, at whatever the frequency happened to be. Other
arches (arm64, riscv) were using entropy from the crng via
get_random_u16().
There have been concerns that in some cases the timestamp counters may
be too weak, because they can be easily guessed or influenced by user
space. And get_random_u16() has been shown to be too costly for the
level of protection kstack offset randomization provides.
So let's use a common, architecture-agnostic source of entropy; a
per-cpu prng, seeded at boot-time from the crng. This has a few
benefits:
- We can remove choose_random_kstack_offset(); That was only there to
try to make the timestamp counter value a bit harder to influence
from user space [*].
- The architecture code is simplified. All it has to do now is call
add_random_kstack_offset() in the syscall path.
- The strength of the randomness can be reasoned about independently
of the architecture.
- Arches previously using get_random_u16() now have much faster
syscall paths, see below results.
[*] Additionally, this gets rid of some redundant work on s390 and x86.
Before this patch, those architectures called
choose_random_kstack_offset() under arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(),
which is also called for exception returns to userspace which were *not*
syscalls (e.g. regular interrupts). Getting rid of
choose_random_kstack_offset() avoids a small amount of redundant work
for the non-syscall cases.
In some configurations, add_random_kstack_offset() will now call
instrumentable code, so for a couple of arches, I have moved the call a
bit later to the first point where instrumentation is allowed. This
doesn't impact the efficacy of the mechanism.
There have been some claims that a prng may be less strong than the
timestamp counter if not regularly reseeded. But the prng has a period
of about 2^113. So as long as the prng state remains secret, it should
not be possible to guess. If the prng state can be accessed, we have
bigger problems.
Additionally, we are only consuming 6 bits to randomize the stack, so
there are only 64 possible random offsets. I assert that it would be
trivial for an attacker to brute force by repeating their attack and
waiting for the random stack offset to be the desired one. The prng
approach seems entirely proportional to this level of protection.
Performance data are provided below. The baseline is v6.18 with rndstack
on for each respective arch. (I)/(R) indicate statistically significant
improvement/regression. arm64 platform is AWS Graviton3 (m7g.metal).
x86_64 platform is AWS Sapphire Rapids (m7i.24xlarge):

+-----------------+--------------+---------------+---------------+
I tested an earlier version of this change on x86 bare metal and it
showed a smaller but still significant improvement. The bare metal
system wasn't available this time around so testing was done in a VM
instance. I'm guessing the cost of rdtsc is higher for VMs.

randomize_kstack: Maintain kstack_offset per task
kstack_offset was previously maintained per-cpu, but this caused a
couple of issues. So let's instead make it per-task.
Issue 1: add_random_kstack_offset() and choose_random_kstack_offset()
expected and required to be called with interrupts and preemption
disabled so that it could manipulate per-cpu state. But arm64, loongarch
and risc-v are calling them with interrupts and preemption enabled. I
don't _think_ this causes any functional issues, but it's certainly
unexpected and could lead to manipulating the wrong cpu's state, which
could cause a minor performance degradation due to bouncing the cache
lines. By maintaining the state per-task those functions can safely be
called in preemptible context.
Issue 2: add_random_kstack_offset() is called before executing the
syscall and expands the stack using a previously chosen random offset.
choose_random_kstack_offset() is called after executing the syscall and
chooses and stores a new random offset for the next syscall. With
per-cpu storage for this offset, an attacker could force cpu migration
during the execution of the syscall and prevent the offset from being
updated for the original cpu such that it is predictable for the next
syscall on that cpu. By maintaining the state per-task, this problem
goes away because the per-task random offset is updated after the
syscall regardless of which cpu it is executing on.

sched_ext: Fix build errors and unused label warning in non-cgroup configs
When building with SCHED_CLASS_EXT=y but CGROUPS=n, clang reports errors
for undeclared cgroup_put() and cgroup_get() calls, and a warning for the
unused err_stop_helper label.
EXT_SUB_SCHED is def_bool y depending only on SCHED_CLASS_EXT, but it
fundamentally requires cgroups (cgroup_path, cgroup_get, cgroup_put,
cgroup_id, etc.). Add the missing CGROUPS dependency to EXT_SUB_SCHED in
init/Kconfig.
Guard cgroup_put() and cgroup_get() in the common paths with:
#if defined(CONFIG_EXT_GROUP_SCHED) || defined(CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED)
Guard the err_stop_helper label with #ifdef CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED since
all gotos targeting it are inside that same ifdef block.
Tested with both CGROUPS enabled and disabled.

vdso/datastore: Allocate data pages dynamically
Allocating the data pages as part of the kernel image does not work on SPARC. The MMU will raise a fault when userspace tries to access them. Allocate the data pages through the page allocator instead. Unused pages in the vDSO VMA are still allocated to keep the virtual addresses aligned. Switch the mapping from PFNs to 'struct page' as that is required for dynamically allocated pages. This also aligns the allocation of the datapages with the code pages and is a prerequisite for mlockall() support. VM_MIXEDMAP is necessary for the call to vmf_insert_page() in the timens prefault path to work. The data pages need to be order-0, non-compound pages so that the mapping to userspace and the different orderings work. These pages are also used by the timekeeping, random pool and architecture initialization code. Some of these are running before the page allocator is available. To keep these subsytems working without changes, introduce early, statically data storage which will then replaced by the real one as soon as that is available.

sched_ext: Introduce cgroup sub-sched support
A system often runs multiple workloads especially in multi-tenant server environments where a system is split into partitions servicing separate more-or-less independent workloads each requiring an application-specific scheduler. To support such and other use cases, sched_ext is in the process of growing multiple scheduler support. When partitioning a system in terms of CPUs for such use cases, an oft-taken approach is hard partitioning the system using cpuset. While it would be possible to tie sched_ext multiple scheduler support to cpuset partitions, such an approach would have fundamental limitations stemming from the lack of dynamism and flexibility. Users often don't care which specific CPUs are assigned to which workload and want to take advantage of optimizations which are enabled by running workloads on a larger machine - e.g. opportunistic over-commit, improving latency critical workload characteristics while maintaining bandwidth fairness, employing control mechanisms based on different criteria than on-CPU time for e.g. flexible memory bandwidth isolation, packing similar parts from different workloads on same L3s to improve cache efficiency, and so on. As this sort of dynamic behaviors are impossible or difficult to implement with hard partitioning, sched_ext is implementing cgroup sub-sched support where schedulers can be attached to the cgroup hierarchy and a parent scheduler is responsible for controlling the CPUs that each child can use at any given moment. This makes CPU distribution dynamically controlled by BPF allowing high flexibility. This patch adds the skeletal sched_ext cgroup sub-sched support: - sched_ext_ops.sub_cgroup_id and .sub_attach/detach() are added. Non-zero sub_cgroup_id indicates that the scheduler is to be attached to the identified cgroup. A sub-sched is attached to the cgroup iff the nearest ancestor scheduler implements .sub_attach() and grants the attachment. Max nesting depth is limited by SCX_SUB_MAX_DEPTH. - When a scheduler exits, all its descendant schedulers are exited together. Also, cgroup.scx_sched added which points to the effective scheduler instance for the cgroup. This is updated on scheduler init/exit and inherited on cgroup online. When a cgroup is offlined, the attached scheduler is automatically exited. - Sub-sched support is gated on CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED which is automatically enabled if both SCX and cgroups are enabled. Sub-sched support is not tied to the CPU controller but rather the cgroup hierarchy itself. This is intentional as the support for cpu.weight and cpu.max based resource control is orthogonal to sub-sched support. Note that CONFIG_CGROUPS around cgroup subtree iteration support for scx_task_iter is replaced with CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED for consistency. - This allows loading sub-scheds and most framework operations such as propagating disable down the hierarchy work. However, sub-scheds are not operational yet and all tasks stay with the root sched. This will serve as the basis for building up full sub-sched support. - DSQs point to the scx_sched they belong to. - scx_qmap is updated to allow attachment of sub-scheds and also serving as sub-scheds. - scx_is_descendant() is added but not yet used in this patch. It is used by later changes in the series and placed here as this is where the function belongs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com> |

Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'.

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.

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 *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> |

compiler_types: Disable __builtin_counted_by_ref for Clang
Unfortunately, there is a corner case of __builtin_counted_by_ref() usage that crashes[1] Clang since support was introduced in Clang 19. Disable it prior to Clang 22. Found while tested kmalloc_obj treewide refactoring (via kmalloc_flex() usage). Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/182575 [1] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> |

Scheduler changes for v7.0:
Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes: reduce
the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number
of preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy'
on up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc,
riscv, s390, x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features
on platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet,
or which don't even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and
voluntary preemption altogether.
(Peter Zijlstra)
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support:
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it
enters a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when
the thread is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
- entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
- selftests: Implement time slice extension test
(Thomas Gleixner)
- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
(Peter Zijlstra)
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU,
which improves the scalability of various workloads.
(Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching
(Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups:
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
(Shrikanth Hegde)
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()

(Yury Norov)
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and
Joel Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements, which is part of the
scheduler tree in this cycle due to interdependencies with the RSEQ
based time slice extension work:
- Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
- Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()
(Jinjie Ruan)
Scheduler core updates:
- Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
- Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
- Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
rcu_dereference_sched_domain()

(Peter Zijlstra)
Fair scheduler updates/refactoring:
- Fold the sched_avg update
- Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
- Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
- Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
- Limit hrtick work
(Peter Zijlstra)
- Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
- Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
- Separate se->vlag from se->vprot
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
- Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers
for wrapped-signed aritmetics
- Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise
(Ingo Molnar)

Performance events changes for v7.0:
x86 PMU driver updates:
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs.
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's
been a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to
replace the Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
(Dapeng Mi)
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for
Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs, which center around these
four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and
each IMH die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA,
UBR, PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
(Zide Chen)
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang
and Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL)
CPUs, which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code. (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- core: Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary
cross CPU calls. (Jan H. Schönherr)
- core: Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks
(Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize
the unwinding code for other architectures. (Jens Remus)
Uprobes updates:
- Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)
- Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)
- Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)
- x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)
- x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman)
- x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)

The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the preferred
affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events. One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along the way. Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated partitions. The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion. As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making nohz_full= also mutable through cpuset in the future. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJPBAABCAA5FiEEd76+gtGM8MbftQlOhSRUR1COjHcFAmmE0mYbFIAAAAAABAAO bWFudTIsMi41KzEuMTEsMiwyAAoJEIUkVEdQjox36eMP/0Ls/ArfYVi/MNAXWlpy rAt6m9Y/X9GBcDM/VI9BXq1ZX4qEr2XjJ8UUb8cM08uHEAt0ErlmpRxREwJFrKbI H4jzg5EwO0D0c6MnvgQJEAwkHxQVIjsxG9DovRIjxyW4ycx3aSsRg/f2VKyWoLvY 7ZT7CbLFE+I/MQh2ZgUu/9pnCDQVR2anss2WYIej5mmgFL5pyEv3YvYgKYVyK08z sXyNxpP976g2d9ECJ9OtFJV9we6mlqxlG0MVCiv/Uxh7DBjxWWPsLvlmLAXggQ03 +0GW+nnutDaKz83pgS7Z4zum/+Oa+I1dTLIN27pARUNcMCYip7njM2KNpJwPdov3 +fAIODH2JVX1xewT+U1cCq6gdI55ejbwdQYGFV075dKBUxKQeIyrghvfC3Ga6aKQ Gw3y68jdrXOw6iyfHR5k/0Mnu2/FDKUW2fZxLKm55PvNZP5jQFmSlz9wyiwwyb3m UUSgThj6Ozodxks8hDX41rGVezCcm1ni+qNSiNIs8HPaaZQrwbnvKHQFBBJHQzJP rJ39VWBx3Hq/ly71BOR6pCzoZsfS1f85YKhJ4vsfjLO6BfhI16nBat89eROSRKcz XptyWqW0PgAD0teDuMCTPNuUym/viBHALXHKuSO12CIizacvftiGcmaQNPlLiiFZ /Dr2+aOhwYw3UD6djn3u94M9 =nWGh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'kthread-for-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker: "The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
__follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
(eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
duplicated documentation between ReST and source
- Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()
Testing:
- Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with
filesize > PATH_MAX
Misc:
- Add missing <linux/init_task.h> include in fs_struct.c"

Pull vfs nullfs update from Christian Brauner:
"Add a completely catatonic minimal pseudo filesystem called "nullfs"
and make pivot_root() work in the initramfs.
Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to recursively delete initramfs
contents manually before continuing boot, using the fragile
switch_root sequence (overmount + chroot).
Add nullfs, a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true
root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is
mounted on top of it. This allows userspace to simply:
chdir(new_root);
pivot_root(".", ".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);
without the traditional switch_root workarounds. systemd already
handles this correctly. It tries pivot_root() first and falls back
to MS_MOVE only when that fails.
This also means rootfs mounts in unprivileged namespaces no longer
need MNT_LOCKED, since the immutable nullfs guarantees nothing can be
revealed by unmounting the covering mount.
nullfs is a single-instance filesystem (get_tree_single()) marked
SB_NOUSER | SB_I_NOEXEC | SB_I_NODEV with an immutable empty root
directory. This means sooner or later it can be used to overmount
other directories to hide their contents without any additional
protection needed.
We enable it unconditionally. If we see any real regression we'll
hide it behind a boot option.
nullfs has extensions beyond this in the future. It will serve as a
concept to support the creation of completely empty mount namespaces -
which is work coming up in the next cycle"

cpuset: Propagate cpuset isolation update to workqueue through housekeeping
Until now, cpuset would propagate isolated partition changes to workqueues so that unbound workers get properly reaffined. Since housekeeping now centralizes, synchronize and propagates isolation cpumask changes, perform the work from that subsystem for consolidation and consistency purposes. For simplification purpose, the target function is adapted to take the new housekeeping mask instead of the isolated mask.

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().

- Two flag bits for the rseq user space ABI, which allow user space to
query the availability and enablement without a syscall.
- A new member to the user space ABI struct rseq, which is going to be
used to communicate request and grant between kernel and user space.
- A rseq state struct to hold the kernel state of this
- Documentation of the new mechanism

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].

kbuild: uapi: drop dependency on CC_CAN_LINK
The header tests try to compile each header. Some UAPI headers depend on libc headers so they need a full userspace toolchain to build. This dependency is expressed in kconfig as a dependency on CC_CAN_LINK. Many kernel builds do not satisfy CC_CAN_LINK as they only use a minimal kernel (cross-) compiler. In those configurations the UAPI headers are not tested at all. However most UAPI headers do not even depend on any libc headers, and such dependencies are undesired in any case. Also the static analysis performed by headers_check.pl does not need CC_CAN_LINK. Drop the hard dependency on CC_CAN_LINK and instead skip the affected compilation step for exactly those headers which require libc.

acct(2): begin the deprecation of legacy BSD process accounting
As Christian points out [1], even though it's privileged, this interface has a lot of footguns. There are better options these days (e.g. eBPF), so it would be good to start discouraging its use and mark it as deprecated.

fs: use nullfs unconditionally as the real rootfs
Remove the "nullfs_rootfs" boot parameter and simply always use nullfs. The mutable rootfs will be mounted on top of it. Systems that don't use pivot_root() to pivot away from the real rootfs will have an additional mount stick around but that shouldn't be a problem at all. If it is we'll rever this commit. This also simplifies the boot process and removes the need for the traditional switch_root workarounds.

initrd: remove deprecated code path (linuxrc)
Remove linuxrc initrd code path, which was deprecated in 2020. Initramfs and (non-initial) RAM disks (i. e. brd) still work. Both built-in and bootloader-supplied initramfs still work. Non-linuxrc initrd code path (i. e. using /dev/ram as final root filesystem) still works, but I put deprecation message into it. Also I deprecate command line parameters "noinitrd" and "ramdisk_start=".

fs: add immutable rootfs
Currently pivot_root() doesn't work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to do a recursive removal of the
initramfs contents manually before continuing the boot.
Really all we want from the real rootfs is to serve as the parent mount
for anything that is actually useful such as the tmpfs or ramfs for
initramfs unpacking or the rootfs itself. There's no need for the real
rootfs to actually be anything meaningful or useful. Add a immutable
rootfs called "nullfs" that can be selected via the "nullfs_rootfs"
kernel command line option.
The kernel will mount a tmpfs/ramfs on top of it, unpack the initramfs
and fire up userspace which mounts the rootfs and can then just do:
chdir(rootfs);
pivot_root(".", ".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);
and be done with it. (Ofc, userspace can also choose to retain the
initramfs contents by using something like pivot_root(".", "/initramfs")
without unmounting it.)
Technically this also means that the rootfs mount in unprivileged
namespaces doesn't need to become MNT_LOCKED anymore as it's guaranteed
that the immutable rootfs remains permanently empty so there cannot be
anything revealed by unmounting the covering mount.
In the future this will also allow us to create completely empty mount
namespaces without risking to leak anything.
systemd already handles this all correctly as it tries to pivot_root()
first and falls back to MS_MOVE only when that fails.
This goes back to various discussion in previous years and a LPC 2024
presentation about this very topic.

rcu: Clean up after the SRCU-fastification of RCU Tasks Trace
Now that RCU Tasks Trace has been re-implemented in terms of SRCU-fast, the ->trc_ipi_to_cpu, ->trc_blkd_cpu, ->trc_blkd_node, ->trc_holdout_list, and ->trc_reader_special task_struct fields are no longer used. In addition, the rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), rcu_tasks_trace_qs_blkd(), exit_tasks_rcu_finish_trace(), and rcu_spawn_tasks_trace_kthread(), show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread(), rcu_tasks_trace_get_gp_data(), rcu_tasks_trace_torture_stats_print(), and get_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() functions and all the other functions that they invoke are no longer used. Also, the TRC_NEED_QS and TRC_NEED_QS_CHECKED CPP macros are no longer used. Neither are the rcu_tasks_trace_lazy_ms and rcu_task_ipi_delay rcupdate module parameters and the TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB Kconfig option. This commit therefore removes all of them.

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].

perf: Add APIs to create/release mediated guest vPMUs
Currently, exposing PMU capabilities to a KVM guest is done by emulating
guest PMCs via host perf events, i.e. by having KVM be "just" another user
of perf. As a result, the guest and host are effectively competing for
resources, and emulating guest accesses to vPMU resources requires
expensive actions (expensive relative to the native instruction). The
overhead and resource competition results in degraded guest performance
and ultimately very poor vPMU accuracy.
To address the issues with the perf-emulated vPMU, introduce a "mediated
vPMU", where the data plane (PMCs and enable/disable knobs) is exposed
directly to the guest, but the control plane (event selectors and access
to fixed counters) is managed by KVM (via MSR interceptions). To allow
host perf usage of the PMU to (partially) co-exist with KVM/guest usage
of the PMU, KVM and perf will coordinate to a world switch between host
perf context and guest vPMU context near VM-Enter/VM-Exit.
Add two exported APIs, perf_{create,release}_mediated_pmu(), to allow KVM
to create and release a mediated PMU instance (per VM). Because host perf
context will be deactivated while the guest is running, mediated PMU usage
will be mutually exclusive with perf analysis of the guest, i.e. perf
events that do NOT exclude the guest will not behave as expected.
To avoid silent failure of !exclude_guest perf events, disallow creating a
mediated PMU if there are active !exclude_guest events, and on the perf
side, disallowing creating new !exclude_guest perf events while there is
at least one active mediated PMU.
Exempt PMU resources that do not support mediated PMU usage, i.e. that are
outside the scope/view of KVM's vPMU and will not be swapped out while the
guest is running.
Guard mediated PMU with a new kconfig to help readers identify code paths
that are unique to mediated PMU support, and to allow for adding arch-
specific hooks without stubs. KVM x86 is expected to be the only KVM
architecture to support a mediated PMU in the near future (e.g. arm64 is
trending toward a partitioned PMU implementation), and KVM x86 will select
PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU unconditionally, i.e. won't need stubs.
Immediately select PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMU when KVM x86 is enabled so that
all paths are compile tested. Full KVM support is on its way...

memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file

Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to pin
dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing those).
Reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually _stored_
anywhere. That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other
things, we have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended
to be an unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether
the reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if
that removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag (DCACHE_PERSISTENT)
marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set claims responsibility
for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
* get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives that
would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear persistency flag.
* instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the remaining
"leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't been removed
prior to umount), have the regular shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip
DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries, dropping the corresponding
reference if it had been set. After that kill_litter_super() becomes
an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many places
in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary pieces
have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting to the
meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here.

A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which are
caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to invoke
the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each
context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which
sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch
and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also
requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is
executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic
uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic
entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the
context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the
fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only
required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is
allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial
thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually
improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held
time and therefore contention goes down significantly.

Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()
Cleanups:
- Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed
- Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials
- Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago
- coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner
credential handling
- coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup()
- coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const
- coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const
- sev-dev: use guard for path"

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.
Features:
- listns() system call
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
longstanding limitations:
Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
all processes, which is:
- Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
- Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
parent references
- Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
- No ordering or ownership information
- No filtering per namespace type
The listns() system call solves these problems:
ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);
struct ns_id_req {
__u32 size;
__u32 spare;
__u64 ns_id;
struct /* listns */ {
__u32 ns_type;
__u32 spare2;
__u64 user_ns_id;
};
};
Features include:
- Pagination support for large namespace sets
- Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
- Filtering by owning user namespace
- Permission checks respecting namespace isolation
- Active Reference Counting
Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
cases:
- The namespace is in use by a task
- The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount)
- The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
namespaces
The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
to namespace file handles and listns().
This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
not be accessible via (1)-(3).
- Unified Namespace Tree
Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
- Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
- Lookup based solely on inode number
- Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
- Simplified rbtree comparison helpers
Cleanups
- Header Reorganization:
- Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
- Decouple nstree from ns_common header
- Move nstree types into separate header
- Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
- Use guards for ns_tree_lock
- Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
- Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
away
- Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
- Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
- pid: rely on common reference count behavior
- Miscellaneous Cleanups
- Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
- Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
- Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
- Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
- nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
- pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
- libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
- cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
- nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()
Fixes:
- setns(pidfd, ...) race condition
Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.
The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.
- Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success
- Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
reference)
- Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
namespace
- Add asserts for active refcount underflow
- Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
and active)
- ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions
- Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions
- Selftests
- 15 active reference count tests
- 9 listns() functionality tests
- 7 listns() permission tests
- 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
- 3 threaded active reference count tests
- commit_creds() active reference tests
- Pagination and stress tests
- EFAULT handling test
- nsid tests fixes"

convert ramfs and tmpfs
Quite a bit is already done by infrastructure changes (simple_link(),
simple_unlink()) - all that is left is replacing d_instantiate() +
pinning dget() (in ->symlink() and ->mknod()) with d_make_persistent(),
and, in case of shmem, using simple_unlink() and simple_link() in
->unlink() and ->link() resp., instead of open-coding those there.
Since d_make_persistent() accepts (and hashes) unhashed ones, shmem
situation gets simpler - we no longer care whether ->lookup() has hashed
the sucker.
With that done, we don't need kill_litter_super() for these filesystems
anymore - by the umount time all remaining dentries will be marked
persistent and kill_litter_super() will boil down to call of
kill_anon_super().
The same goes for devtmpfs and rootfs - they are handled by
ramfs or by shmem, depending upon config.
NB: strictly speaking, both devtmpfs and rootfs ought to use
ramfs_kill_sb() if they end up using ramfs; that's a separate
story and the only impact of "just use kill_{litter,anon}_super()"
is that we fail to free their sb->s_fs_info... on reboot.
That's orthogonal to the changes in this series - kill_litter_super()
is identical to kill_anon_super() for those at this point.

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.

rust: enable slice_flatten feature and provide it through an extension trait
In Rust 1.80, the previously unstable `slice::flatten` family of methods have been stabilized and renamed to `slice::as_flattened`. This creates an issue as we want to use `as_flattened`, but need to support the MSRV (which at the moment is Rust 1.78) where it is named `flatten`. Solve this by enabling the `slice_flatten` feature, and providing an `as_flattened` implementation through an extension trait for compiler versions where it is not available. The trait is then exported from the prelude, making the `as_flattened` family of methods transparently available for all supported compiler versions. This extension trait can be removed once the MSRV passes 1.80.

init/main.c: wrap long kernel cmdline when printing to logs
The kernel cmdline length is allowed to be longer than what printk can handle. When this happens the cmdline that's printed to the kernel ring buffer at bootup is cutoff and some kernel cmdline options are "hidden" from the logs. This undercuts the usefulness of the log message. Specifically, grepping for COMMAND_LINE_SIZE shows that 2048 is common and some architectures even define it as 4096. s390 allows a CONFIG-based maximum up to 1MB (though it's not expected that anyone will go over the default max of 4096 [1]). The maximum message pr_notice() seems to be able to handle (based on experiment) is 1021 characters. This appears to be based on the current value of PRINTKRB_RECORD_MAX as 1024 and the fact that pr_notice() spends 2 characters on the loglevel prefix and we have a '\n' at the end. While it would be possible to increase the limits of printk() (and therefore pr_notice()) somewhat, it doesn't appear possible to increase it enough to fully include a 2048-character cmdline without breaking userspace. Specifically on at least two tested userspaces (ChromeOS plus the Debian-based distro I'm typing this message on) the `dmesg` tool reads lines from `/dev/kmsg` in 2047-byte chunks. As per `Documentation/ABI/testing/dev-kmsg`: Every read() from the opened device node receives one record of the kernel's printk buffer. ... Messages in the record ring buffer get overwritten as whole, there are never partial messages received by read(). We simply can't fit a 2048-byte cmdline plus the "Kernel command line:" prefix plus info about time/log_level/etc in a 2047-byte read. The above means that if we want to avoid the truncation we need to do some type of wrapping of the cmdline when printing. Add wrapping to the printout of the kernel command line. By default, the wrapping is set to 1021 characters to avoid breaking anyone, but allow wrapping to be set lower by a Kconfig knob "CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN". Any tools that are correctly parsing the cmdline today (because it is less than 1021 characters) will see no difference in their behavior. The format of wrapped output is designed to be matched by anyone using "grep" to search for the cmdline and also to be easy for tools to handle. Anyone who is sure their tools (if any) handle the wrapped format can choose a lower wrapping value and have prettier output. Setting CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN to 0 fully disables the wrapping logic. This means that long command lines will be truncated again, but this config could be set if command lines are expected to be long and userspace is known not to handle parsing logs with the wrapping. Wrapping is based on spaces, ignoring quotes. All lines are prefixed with "Kernel command line: " and lines that are not the last line have a " \" suffix added to them. The prefix and suffix count towards the line length for wrapping purposes. The ideal length will be exceeded if no appropriate place to wrap is found. The wrapping function added here is fairly generic and could be made a library function (somewhat like print_hex_dump()) if it's needed elsewhere in the kernel. However, having printk() directly incorporate this wrapping would be unlikely to be a good idea since it would break printouts into more than one record without any obvious common line prefix to tie lines together. It would also be extra overhead when, in general, kernel log message should simply be kept smaller than 1021 bytes.

rseq: Switch to fast path processing on exit to user
Now that all bits and pieces are in place, hook the RSEQ handling fast path
function into exit_to_user_mode_prepare() after the TIF work bits have been
handled. If case of fast path failure, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME has been raised
and the caller needs to take another turn through the TIF handling slow
path.
This only works for architectures which use the generic entry code.
Architectures who still have their own incomplete hacks are not supported
and won't be.

Unlike simple_strtol(), which returns a a long, kstrtoint() converts the string directly to an integer and avoids implicit casting. Check the return value of kstrtoint() and reject invalid values. This adds error handling while preserving existing behavior for valid values, and removes use of the deprecated simple_strtol() helper.

It prevents corruptions of the ring buffer. Note that printk() is on the safe side. The messages are limited by 1kB buffer and are always small enough for the minimal log buffer size 4kB, see CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT definition. * tag 'printk-for-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk: ringbuffer: Fix data block max size check printk: kunit: support offstack cpumask printk: kunit: Fix __counted_by() in struct prbtest_rbdata printk: ringbuffer: Explain why the KUnit test ignores failed writes printk: ringbuffer: Add KUnit test |
