bf480c6133 kho: fix deferred initialization of scratch areas
Currently, if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled,
kho_release_scratch() will initialize the struct pages and set migratetype
of KHO scratch. Unless the whole scratch fits below first_deferred_pfn,
some of that will be overwritten either by deferred_init_pages() or
memmap_init_reserved_range().

To fix it, make memmap_init_range(), deferred_init_memmap_chunk() and
__init_page_from_nid() recognize KHO scratch regions and set
migratetype of pageblocks in those regions to MIGRATE_CMA.

8fd2f26fa2 kho: fix order calculation for kho_unpreserve_pages()
Commit 91e74fa8b1 ("kho: make sure preservations do not span multiple
NUMA nodes") made sure preservations from kho_preserve_pages() do not
span multiple NUMA nodes. If they do, the order is reduced and tried
again.

The same logic was not implemented for kho_unpreserve_pages(). This can
result in unpreserve calculating a different order than preserve, and
thus not actually unpreserving the pages.

Fix this by moving the order calculation logic to
__kho_preserve_pages_order() and use it from both preserve and
unpreserve paths.

Move __kho_unpreserve() down to avoid having a forward declaration. Its
users are further down in the file anyway. Also, it results in grouping
for all the page-level preservation and unpreservation functions. This
unfortunately makes the diff hard to read, but the main change in
__kho_unpreserve() is to call __kho_preserve_pages_order() instead of
open-coding the order calculation.

a6715d7ec4 kho: skip KHO for crash kernel
kho_fill_kimage() unconditionally populates the kimage with KHO
metadata for every kexec image type. When the image is a crash kernel,
this can be problematic as the crash kernel can run in a small reserved
region and the KHO scratch areas can sit outside it.
The crash kernel then faults during kho_memory_init() when it
tries phys_to_virt() on the KHO FDT address:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx
  ...
    fdt_offset_ptr+...
    fdt_check_node_offset_+...
    fdt_first_property_offset+...
    fdt_get_property_namelen_+...
    fdt_getprop+...
    kho_memory_init+...
    mm_core_init+...
    start_kernel+...

kho_locate_mem_hole() already skips KHO logic for KEXEC_TYPE_CRASH
images, but kho_fill_kimage() was missing the same guard. As
kho_fill_kimage() is the single point that populates image->kho.fdt
and image->kho.scratch, fixing it here is sufficient for both arm64
and x86 as the FDT and boot_params path are bailing out when these
fields are unset.

9ec9532989 kho: fix error handling in kho_add_subtree()
Fix two error handling issues in kho_add_subtree(), where it doesn't
handle the error path correctly.

1. If fdt_setprop() fails after the subnode has been created, the
   subnode is not removed. This leaves an incomplete node in the FDT
   (missing "preserved-data" or "blob-size" properties).

2. The fdt_setprop() return value (an FDT error code) is stored
   directly in err and returned to the caller, which expects -errno.

Fix both by storing fdt_setprop() results in fdt_err, jumping to a new
out_del_node label that removes the subnode on failure, and only setting
err = 0 on the success path, otherwise returning -ENOMEM (instead of
FDT_ERR_ errors that would come from fdt_setprop).

No user-visible changes.  This patch fixes error handling in the KHO
(Kexec HandOver) subsystem, which is used to preserve data across kexec
reboots.  The fix only affects a rare failure path during kexec
preparation — specifically when the kernel runs out of space in the
Flattened Device Tree buffer while registering preserved memory regions.

In the unlikely event that this error path was triggered, the old code
would leave a malformed node in the device tree and return an incorrect
error code to the calling subsystem, which could lead to confusing log
messages or incorrect recovery decisions.  With this fix, the incomplete
node is properly cleaned up and the appropriate errno value is propagated,
this error code is not returned to the user.

0562b572ce liveupdate: fix return value on session allocation failure
When session allocation fails during deserialization, the global 'err'
variable was not updated before returning.  This caused subsequent calls
to luo_session_deserialize() to incorrectly report success.

Ensure 'err' is set to the error code from PTR_ERR(session).  This ensures
that an error is correctly returned to userspace when it attempts to open
/dev/liveupdate in the new kernel if deserialization failed.

Read locks are used during concurrent list traversals (e.g., during

38fb71ace2 liveupdate: synchronize lazy initialization of FLB private state
The luo_flb_get_private() function, which is responsible for lazily
initializing the private state of FLB objects, can be called concurrently
from multiple threads.  This creates a data race on the 'initialized' flag
and can lead to multiple executions of mutex_init() and INIT_LIST_HEAD()
on the same memory.

Introduce a static spinlock (luo_flb_init_lock) local to the function to
synchronize the initialization path.  Use smp_load_acquire() and

277f4e5e39 liveupdate: safely print untrusted strings
Patch series "liveupdate: Fix module unloading and unregister API", v3.

This patch series addresses an issue with how LUO handles module reference
counting and unregistration during a module unload (e.g., via rmmod).

Currently, modules that register live update file handlers are pinned for
the entire duration they are registered.  This prevents the modules from
being unloaded gracefully, even when no live update session is in
progress.

Furthermore, if a module is forcefully unloaded, the unregistration
functions return an error (e.g.  -EBUSY) if a session is active, which is
ignored by the kernel's module unload path, leaving dangling pointers in
the LUO global lists.

To resolve these issues, this series introduces the following changes:
1. Adds a global read-write semaphore (luo_register_rwlock) to protect
   the registration lists for both file handlers and FLBs.
2. Reduces the scope of module reference counting for file handlers and
   FLBs. Instead of pinning modules indefinitely upon registration,
   references are now taken only when they are actively used in a live
   update session (e.g., during preservation, retrieval, or
   deserialization).
3. Removes the global luo_session_quiesce() mechanism since module
   unload behavior now handles active sessions implicitly.
4. Introduces auto-unregistration of FLBs during file handler
   unregistration to prevent leaving dangling resources.
5. Changes the unregistration functions to return void instead of
   an error code.
6. Fixes a data race in luo_flb_get_private() by introducing a spinlock
   for thread-safe lazy initialization.
7. Strengthens security by using %.*s when printing untrusted deserialized
   compatible strings and session names to prevent out-of-bounds reads.


This patch (of 10):

Deserialized strings from KHO data (such as file handler compatible
strings and session names) are provided by the previous kernel and might
not be null-terminated if the data is corrupted or maliciously crafted.

When printing these strings in error messages, use the %.*s format
specifier with the maximum buffer size to prevent out-of-bounds reads into
adjacent kernel memory.

00d0b37237 liveupdate: prevent double management of files
Patch series "liveupdate: prevent double preservation", v4.

Currently, LUO does not prevent the same file from being managed twice
across different active sessions.

Because LUO preserves files of absolutely different types: memfd, and
upcoming vfiofd [1], iommufd [2], guestmefd (and possible kvmfd/cpufd).
There is no common private data or guarantee on how to prevent that the
same file is not preserved twice beside using inode or some slower and
expensive method like hashtables.


This patch (of 4)

Currently, LUO does not prevent the same file from being managed twice
across different active sessions.

Use a global xarray luo_preserved_files to keep track of file identifiers
being preserved by LUO.  Update luo_preserve_file() to check and insert
the file identifier into this xarray when it is preserved, and erase it in
luo_file_unpreserve_files() when it is released.

To allow handlers to define what constitutes a "unique" file (e.g.,
different struct file objects pointing to the same hardware resource), add
a get_id() callback to struct liveupdate_file_ops.  If not provided, the
default identifier is the struct file pointer itself.

This ensures that the same file (or resource) cannot be managed by
multiple sessions.  If another session attempts to preserve an already
managed file, it will now fail with -EBUSY.

76aa46b9e4 kho: kexec-metadata: track previous kernel chain
Use Kexec Handover (KHO) to pass the previous kernel's version string and
the number of kexec reboots since the last cold boot to the next kernel,
and print it at boot time.

Example output:
    [    0.000000] KHO: exec from: 6.19.0-rc4-next-20260107 (count 1)

Motivation
==========

Bugs that only reproduce when kexecing from specific kernel versions are
difficult to diagnose.  These issues occur when a buggy kernel kexecs into
a new kernel, with the bug manifesting only in the second kernel.

Recent examples include the following commits:

 * commit eb22663125 ("x86/boot: Fix page table access in
   5-level to 4-level paging transition")
 * commit 77d48d39e9 ("efistub/tpm: Use ACPI reclaim memory
   for event log to avoid corruption")
 * commit 64b45dd46e ("x86/efi: skip memattr table on kexec
   boot")

As kexec-based reboots become more common, these version-dependent bugs
are appearing more frequently.  At scale, correlating crashes to the
previous kernel version is challenging, especially when issues only occur
in specific transition scenarios.

Implementation
==============

The kexec metadata is stored as a plain C struct (struct
kho_kexec_metadata) rather than FDT format, for simplicity and direct
field access.  It is registered via kho_add_subtree() as a separate
subtree, keeping it independent from the core KHO ABI.  This design
choice:

 - Keeps the core KHO ABI minimal and stable
 - Allows the metadata format to evolve independently
 - Avoids requiring version bumps for all KHO consumers (LUO, etc.)
   when the metadata format changes

The struct kho_kexec_metadata contains two fields:
 - previous_release: The kernel version that initiated the kexec
 - kexec_count: Number of kexec boots since last cold boot

On cold boot, kexec_count starts at 0 and increments with each kexec.  The
count helps identify issues that only manifest after multiple consecutive
kexec reboots.

062dd306d9 kho: fix kho_in_debugfs_init() to handle non-FDT blobs
kho_in_debugfs_init() calls fdt_totalsize() to determine blob sizes, which
assumes all blobs are FDTs.  This breaks for non-FDT blobs like struct
kho_kexec_metadata.

Fix this by reading the "blob-size" property from the FDT (persisted by
kho_add_subtree()) instead of calling fdt_totalsize().  Also rename local
variables from fdt_phys/sub_fdt to blob_phys/blob for consistency with the
non-FDT-specific naming.

85e4139282 kho: persist blob size in KHO FDT
kho_add_subtree() accepts a size parameter but only forwards it to
debugfs.  The size is not persisted in the KHO FDT, so it is lost across
kexec.  This makes it impossible for the incoming kernel to determine the
blob size without understanding the blob format.

Store the blob size as a "blob-size" property in the KHO FDT alongside the
"preserved-data" physical address.  This allows the receiving kernel to
recover the size for any blob regardless of format.

Also extend kho_retrieve_subtree() with an optional size output parameter
so callers can learn the blob size without needing to understand the blob
format.  Update all callers to pass NULL for the new parameter.

d9e4142e76 kho: add size parameter to kho_add_subtree()
Patch series "kho: history: track previous kernel version and kexec boot
count", v9.

Use Kexec Handover (KHO) to pass the previous kernel's version string and
the number of kexec reboots since the last cold boot to the next kernel,
and print it at boot time.

Example
=======
	[    0.000000] Linux version 6.19.0-rc3-upstream-00047-ge5d992347849
	...
	[    0.000000] KHO: exec from: 6.19.0-rc4-next-20260107upstream-00004-g3071b0dc4498 (count 1)

Motivation
==========

Bugs that only reproduce when kexecing from specific kernel versions are
difficult to diagnose.  These issues occur when a buggy kernel kexecs into
a new kernel, with the bug manifesting only in the second kernel.

Recent examples include:

 * eb22663125 ("x86/boot: Fix page table access in 5-level to 4-level paging transition")
 * 77d48d39e9 ("efistub/tpm: Use ACPI reclaim memory for event log to avoid corruption")
 * 64b45dd46e ("x86/efi: skip memattr table on kexec boot")

As kexec-based reboots become more common, these version-dependent bugs
are appearing more frequently.  At scale, correlating crashes to the
previous kernel version is challenging, especially when issues only occur
in specific transition scenarios.

Some bugs manifest only after multiple consecutive kexec reboots. 
Tracking the kexec count helps identify these cases (this metric is
already used by live update sub-system).

KHO provides a reliable mechanism to pass information between kernels.  By
carrying the previous kernel's release string and kexec count forward, we
can print this context at boot time to aid debugging.

The goal of this feature is to have this information being printed in
early boot, so, users can trace back kernel releases in kexec.  Systemd is
not helpful because we cannot assume that the previous kernel has systemd
or even write access to the disk (common when using Linux as bootloaders)


This patch (of 6):

kho_add_subtree() assumes the fdt argument is always an FDT and calls
fdt_totalsize() on it in the debugfs code path.  This assumption will
break if a caller passes arbitrary data instead of an FDT.

When CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_DEBUGFS is enabled, kho_debugfs_fdt_add() calls
__kho_debugfs_fdt_add(), which executes:

    f->wrapper.size = fdt_totalsize(fdt);

Fix this by adding an explicit size parameter to kho_add_subtree() so
callers specify the blob size.  This allows subtrees to contain arbitrary
data formats, not just FDTs.  Update all callers:

  - memblock.c: use fdt_totalsize(fdt)
  - luo_core.c: use fdt_totalsize(fdt_out)
  - test_kho.c: use fdt_totalsize()
  - kexec_handover.c (root fdt): use fdt_totalsize(kho_out.fdt)

Also update __kho_debugfs_fdt_add() to receive the size explicitly instead
of computing it internally via fdt_totalsize().  In kho_in_debugfs_init(),
pass fdt_totalsize() for the root FDT and sub-blobs since all current
users are FDTs.  A subsequent patch will persist the size in the KHO FDT
so the incoming side can handle non-FDT blobs correctly.

307e0c5859 liveupdate: propagate file deserialization failures
luo_session_deserialize() ignored the return value from
luo_file_deserialize().  As a result, a session could be left partially
restored even though the /dev/liveupdate open path treats deserialization
failures as fatal.

Propagate the error so a failed file deserialization aborts session
deserialization instead of silently continuing.

22bdab8e98 kho: drop restriction on maximum page order
KHO currently restricts the maximum order of a restored page to the
maximum order supported by the buddy allocator.  While this works fine for
much of the data passed across kexec, it is possible to have pages larger
than MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

For one, it is possible to get a larger order when using
kho_preserve_pages() if the number of pages is large enough, since it
tries to combine multiple aligned 0-order preservations into one higher
order preservation.

For another, upcoming support for hugepages can have gigantic hugepages
being preserved over KHO.

There is no real reason for this limit.  The KHO preservation machinery
can handle any page order.  Remove this artificial restriction on max page
order.

91e74fa8b1 kho: make sure preservations do not span multiple NUMA nodes
The KHO restoration machinery is not capable of dealing with preservations
that span multiple NUMA nodes.  kho_preserve_folio() guarantees the
preservation will only span one NUMA node since folios can't span multiple
nodes.

This leaves kho_preserve_pages().  While semantically kho_preserve_pages()
only deals with 0-order pages, so all preservations should be single page
only, in practice it combines preservations to higher orders for
efficiency.  This can result in a preservation spanning multiple nodes. 
Break up the preservations into a smaller order if that happens.

019fc36872 kho: fix KASAN support for restored vmalloc regions
Restored vmalloc regions are currently not properly marked for KASAN,
causing KASAN to treat accesses to these regions as out-of-bounds.

Fix this by properly unpoisoning the restored vmalloc area using
kasan_unpoison_vmalloc().  This requires setting the VM_UNINITIALIZED flag
during the initial area allocation and clearing it after the pages have
been mapped and unpoisoned, using the clear_vm_uninitialized_flag()
helper.

6b0dd42d76 kho: remove finalize state and clients
Eliminate the `kho_finalize()` function and its associated state from the
KHO subsystem.  The transition to a radix tree for memory tracking makes
the explicit "finalize" state and its serialization step obsolete.

Remove the `kho_finalize()` and `kho_finalized()` APIs and their stub
implementations.  Update KHO client code and the debugfs interface to no
longer call or depend on the `kho_finalize()` mechanism.

Complete the move towards a stateless KHO, simplifying the overall design
by removing unnecessary state management.

3f2ad90060 kho: adopt radix tree for preserved memory tracking
Patch series "Make KHO Stateless", v9.

This series transitions KHO from an xarray-based metadata tracking system
with serialization to a radix tree data structure that can be passed
directly to the next kernel.

The key motivations for this change are to:
- Eliminate the need for data serialization before kexec.
- Remove the KHO finalize state.
- Pass preservation metadata more directly to the next kernel via the FDT.

The new approach uses a radix tree to mark preserved pages.  A page's
physical address and its order are encoded into a single value.  The tree
is composed of multiple levels of page-sized tables, with leaf nodes being
bitmaps where each set bit represents a preserved page.  The physical
address of the radix tree's root is passed in the FDT, allowing the next
kernel to reconstruct the preserved memory map.

This series is broken down into the following patches:

1.  kho: Adopt radix tree for preserved memory tracking:    
    Replaces the xarray-based tracker with the new radix tree
    implementation and increments the ABI version.

2.  kho: Remove finalize state and clients:
    Removes the now-obsolete kho_finalize() function and its usage
    from client code and debugfs.


This patch (of 2):

Introduce a radix tree implementation for tracking preserved memory pages
and switch the KHO memory tracking mechanism to use it.  This lays the
groundwork for a stateless KHO implementation that eliminates the need for
serialization and the associated "finalize" state.

This patch introduces the core radix tree data structures and constants to
the KHO ABI.  It adds the radix tree node and leaf structures, along with
documentation for the radix tree key encoding scheme that combines a
page's physical address and order.

To support broader use by other kernel subsystems, such as hugetlb
preservation, the core radix tree manipulation functions are exported as a
public API.

The xarray-based memory tracking is replaced with this new radix tree
implementation.  The core KHO preservation and unpreservation functions
are wired up to use the radix tree helpers.  On boot, the second kernel
restores the preserved memory map by walking the radix tree whose root
physical address is passed via the FDT.

The ABI `compatible` version is bumped to "kho-v2" to reflect the
structural changes in the preserved memory map and sub-FDT property names.
This includes renaming "fdt" to "preserved-data" to better reflect that
preserved state may use formats other than FDT.

Commit 8f1081892d ("kho: simplify page initialization in
kho_restore_page()") cleaned up the page initialization logic by moving
the folio and 0-order-page paths into separate functions.  It missed
moving the alloc tag initialization.

Do it now to keep the two paths cleanly separated.  While at it, touch up
the comments to be a tiny bit shorter (mainly so it doesn't end up
splitting into a multiline comment).  This is purely a cosmetic change and
there should be no change in behaviour.

f85b1c6af5 liveupdate: luo_file: remember retrieve() status
LUO keeps track of successful retrieve attempts on a LUO file.  It does so
to avoid multiple retrievals of the same file.  Multiple retrievals cause
problems because once the file is retrieved, the serialized data
structures are likely freed and the file is likely in a very different
state from what the code expects.

The retrieve boolean in struct luo_file keeps track of this, and is passed
to the finish callback so it knows what work was already done and what it
has left to do.

All this works well when retrieve succeeds.  When it fails,
luo_retrieve_file() returns the error immediately, without ever storing
anywhere that a retrieve was attempted or what its error code was.  This
results in an errored LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD ioctl to userspace,
but nothing prevents it from trying this again.

The retry is problematic for much of the same reasons listed above.  The
file is likely in a very different state than what the retrieve logic
normally expects, and it might even have freed some serialization data
structures.  Attempting to access them or free them again is going to
break things.

For example, if memfd managed to restore 8 of its 10 folios, but fails on
the 9th, a subsequent retrieve attempt will try to call
kho_restore_folio() on the first folio again, and that will fail with a
warning since it is an invalid operation.

Apart from the retry, finish() also breaks.  Since on failure the
retrieved bool in luo_file is never touched, the finish() call on session
close will tell the file handler that retrieve was never attempted, and it
will try to access or free the data structures that might not exist, much
in the same way as the retry attempt.

There is no sane way of attempting the retrieve again.  Remember the error
retrieve returned and directly return it on a retry.  Also pass this
status code to finish() so it can make the right decision on the work it
needs to do.

This is done by changing the bool to an integer.  A value of 0 means
retrieve was never attempted, a positive value means it succeeded, and a
negative value means it failed and the error code is the value.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

        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

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 *".

cab056f2aa liveupdate: luo_flb: introduce File-Lifecycle-Bound global state
Introduce a mechanism for managing global kernel state whose lifecycle is
tied to the preservation of one or more files.  This is necessary for
subsystems where multiple preserved file descriptors depend on a single,
shared underlying resource.

An example is HugeTLB, where multiple file descriptors such as memfd and
guest_memfd may rely on the state of a single HugeTLB subsystem. 
Preserving this state for each individual file would be redundant and
incorrect.  The state should be preserved only once when the first file is
preserved, and restored/finished only once the last file is handled.

This patch introduces File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) objects to solve this
problem.  An FLB is a global, reference-counted object with a defined set
of operations:

- A file handler (struct liveupdate_file_handler) declares a dependency
  on one or more FLBs via a new registration function,
  liveupdate_register_flb().
- When the first file depending on an FLB is preserved, the FLB's
  .preserve() callback is invoked to save the shared global state. The
  reference count is then incremented for each subsequent file.
- Conversely, when the last file is unpreserved (before reboot) or
  finished (after reboot), the FLB's .unpreserve() or .finish() callback
  is invoked to clean up the global resource.

The implementation includes:

- A new set of ABI definitions (luo_flb_ser, luo_flb_head_ser) and a
  corresponding FDT node (luo-flb) to serialize the state of all active
  FLBs and pass them via Kexec Handover.
- Core logic in luo_flb.c to manage FLB registration, reference
  counting, and the invocation of lifecycle callbacks.
- An API (liveupdate_flb_get/_incoming/_outgoing) for other kernel
  subsystems to safely access the live object managed by an FLB, both
  before and after the live update.

This framework provides the necessary infrastructure for more complex
subsystems like IOMMU, VFIO, and KVM to integrate with the Live Update
Orchestrator.

011d4e52a7 liveupdate: luo_file: do not clear serialized_data on unfreeze
Patch series "liveupdate: fixes in error handling".

This series contains some fixes in LUO's error handling paths.

The first patch deals with failed freeze() attempts.  The cleanup path
calls unfreeze, and that clears some data needed by later unpreserve
calls.

The second patch is a bit more involved.  It deals with failed retrieve()
attempts.  To do so properly, it reworks some of the error handling logic
in luo_file core.

Both these fixes are "theoretical" -- in the sense that I have not been
able to reproduce either of them in normal operation.  The only supported
file type right now is memfd, and there is nothing userspace can do right
now to make it fail its retrieve or freeze.  I need to make the retrieve
or freeze fail by artificially injecting errors.  The injected errors
trigger a use-after-free and a double-free.

That said, once more complex file handlers are added or memfd preservation
is used in ways not currently expected or covered by the tests, we will be
able to see them on real systems.


This patch (of 2):

The unfreeze operation is supposed to undo the effects of the freeze
operation.  serialized_data is not set by freeze, but by preserve. 
Consequently, the unpreserve operation needs to access serialized_data to
undo the effects of the preserve operation.  This includes freeing the
serialized data structures for example.

If a freeze callback fails, unfreeze is called for all frozen files.  This
would clear serialized_data for them.  Since live update has failed, it
can be expected that userspace aborts, releasing all sessions.  When the
sessions are released, unpreserve will be called for all files.  The
unfrozen files will see 0 in their serialized_data.  This is not expected
by file handlers, and they might either fail, leaking data and state, or
might even crash or cause invalid memory access.

Do not clear serialized_data on unfreeze so it gets passed on to
unpreserve.  There is no need to clear it on unpreserve since luo_file
will be freed immediately after.

427b2535f5 kho: skip memoryless NUMA nodes when reserving scratch areas
kho_reserve_scratch() iterates over all online NUMA nodes to allocate
per-node scratch memory.  On systems with memoryless NUMA nodes (nodes
that have CPUs but no memory), memblock_alloc_range_nid() fails because
there is no memory available on that node.  This causes KHO initialization
to fail and kho_enable to be set to false.

Some ARM64 systems have NUMA topologies where certain nodes contain only
CPUs without any associated memory.  These configurations are valid and
should not prevent KHO from functioning.

Fix this by only counting nodes that have memory (N_MEMORY state) and skip
memoryless nodes in the per-node scratch allocation loop.

8f1081892d kho: simplify page initialization in kho_restore_page()
When restoring a page (from kho_restore_pages()) or folio (from
kho_restore_folio()), KHO must initialize the struct page.  The
initialization differs slightly depending on if a folio is requested or a
set of 0-order pages is requested.

Conceptually, it is quite simple to understand.  When restoring 0-order
pages, each page gets a refcount of 1 and that's it.  When restoring a
folio, head page gets a refcount of 1 and tail pages get 0.

kho_restore_page() tries to combine the two separate initialization flow
into one piece of code.  While it works fine, it is more complicated to
read than it needs to be.  Make the code simpler by splitting the two
initalization paths into two separate functions.  This improves
readability by clearly showing how each type must be initialized.

840fe43d37 kho: use unsigned long for nr_pages
Patch series "kho: clean up page initialization logic", v2.

This series simplifies the page initialization logic in
kho_restore_page().  It was originally only a single patch [0], but on
Pasha's suggestion, I added another patch to use unsigned long for
nr_pages.

Technically speaking, the patches aren't related and can be applied
independently, but bundling them together since patch 2 relies on 1 and it
is easier to manage them this way.


This patch (of 2):

With 4k pages, a 32-bit nr_pages can span up to 16 TiB.  While it is a
lot, there exist systems with terabytes of RAM.  gup is also moving to
using long for nr_pages.  Use unsigned long and make KHO future-proof.

ac2d8102c4 kho: relocate vmalloc preservation structure to KHO ABI header
The `struct kho_vmalloc` defines the in-memory layout for preserving
vmalloc regions across kexec.  This layout is a contract between kernels
and part of the KHO ABI.

To reflect this relationship, the related structs and helper macros are
relocated to the ABI header, `include/linux/kho/abi/kexec_handover.h`. 
This move places the structure's definition under the protection of the
KHO_FDT_COMPATIBLE version string.

The structure and its components are now also documented within the ABI
header to describe the contract and prevent ABI breaks.

5e1ea1e27b kho: introduce KHO FDT ABI header
Introduce the `include/linux/kho/abi/kexec_handover.h` header file, which
defines the stable ABI for the KHO mechanism.  This header specifies how
preserved data is passed between kernels using an FDT.

The ABI contract includes the FDT structure, node properties, and the
"kho-v1" compatible string.  By centralizing these definitions, this
header serves as the foundational agreement for inter-kernel communication
of preserved states, ensuring forward compatibility and preventing
misinterpretation of data across kexec transitions.

Since the ABI definitions are now centralized in the header files, the
YAML files that previously described the FDT interfaces are redundant. 
These redundant files have therefore been removed.

a6f4e56828 kho: docs: combine concepts and FDT documentation
Currently index.rst in KHO documentation looks empty and sad as it only
contains links to "Kexec Handover Concepts" and "KHO FDT" chapters.

Inline contents of these chapters into index.rst to provide a single
coherent chapter describing KHO.

While on it, drop parts of the KHO FDT description that will be superseded
by addition of KHO ABI documentation.

998be0a4db liveupdate: separate memfd support into LIVEUPDATE_MEMFD
Decouple memfd preservation support from the core Live Update Orchestrator
configuration.

Previously, enabling CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE forced a dependency on CONFIG_SHMEM
and unconditionally compiled memfd_luo.o.  However, Live Update may be
used for purposes that do not require memfd-backed memory preservation.

Introduce CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_MEMFD to gate memfd_luo.o.  This moves the
SHMEM and MEMFD_CREATE dependencies to the specific feature that needs
them, allowing the base LIVEUPDATE option to be selected independently of
shared memory support.

e86436ad0a kho: init alloc tags when restoring pages from reserved memory
Memblock pages (including reserved memory) should have their allocation
tags initialized to CODETAG_EMPTY via clear_page_tag_ref() before being
released to the page allocator.  When kho restores pages through
kho_restore_page(), missing this call causes mismatched
allocation/deallocation tracking and below warning message:

alloc_tag was not set
WARNING: include/linux/alloc_tag.h:164 at ___free_pages+0xb8/0x260, CPU#1: swapper/0/1

582f0f3864 kho: validate preserved memory map during population
If the previous kernel enabled KHO but did not call kho_finalize() (e.g.,
CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE=n or userspace skipped the finalization step), the
'preserved-memory-map' property in the FDT remains empty/zero.

Previously, kho_populate() would succeed regardless of the memory map's
state, reserving the incoming scratch regions in memblock.  However,
kho_memory_init() would later fail to deserialize the empty map.  By that
time, the scratch regions were already registered, leading to partial
initialization and subsequent list corruption (freeing scratch area twice)
during kho_init().

Move the validation of the preserved memory map earlier into
kho_populate(). If the memory map is empty/NULL:
1. Abort kho_populate() immediately with -ENOENT.
2. Do not register or reserve the incoming scratch memory, allowing the new
   kernel to reclaim those pages as standard free memory.
3. Leave the global 'kho_in' state uninitialized.

Consequently, kho_memory_init() sees no active KHO context
(kho_in.mem_chunks_phys is 0) and falls back to kho_reserve_scratch(),
allocating fresh scratch memory as if it were a standard cold boot.

bf2c7bf5c4 liveupdate: luo_core: fix redundant bound check in luo_ioctl()
The kernel test robot reported a Smatch warning:
kernel/liveupdate/luo_core.c:402 luo_ioctl() warn: unsigned 'nr' is
never less than zero.

This occurs because 'nr' is unsigned and LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE is currently
defined as 0, making the check (nr < LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE) always false.

Remove the explicit lower bound check.  The logic remains correct because
'nr' is unsigned; if nr is less than LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE, the expression
(nr - LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE) will wrap around to a large positive value. 
This will inevitably be larger than ARRAY_SIZE(luo_ioctl_ops) and be
caught by the upper bound check.

7b71205ae1 kho: fix restoring of contiguous ranges of order-0 pages
When contiguous ranges of order-0 pages are restored, kho_restore_page()
calls prep_compound_page() with the first page in the range and order as
parameters and then kho_restore_pages() calls split_page() to make sure
all pages in the range are order-0.

However, since split_page() is not intended to split compound pages and
with VM_DEBUG enabled it will trigger a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE().

Update kho_restore_page() so that it will use prep_compound_page() when it
restores a folio and make sure it properly sets page count for both large
folios and ranges of order-0 pages.

Patch series "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration".

Pratyush reported off-list that when kho_restore_vmalloc() is used to
restore a vmalloc_huge() allocation it hits VM_BUG_ON() when we
reconstruct the struct pages in kho_restore_pages().

These patches fix the issue.


This patch (of 2):

In case a preserved vmalloc allocation was using huge pages, all pages in
the array of pages added to vm_struct during kho_restore_vmalloc() are
wrongly set to the same page.

Fix the indexing when assigning pages to that array.

40cd0e8dd2 KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages
When booting with debug_pagealloc=on while having:
CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF=n
the system fails to boot due to page faults during kmemleak scanning.

This occurs because:
With debug_pagealloc is enabled, __free_pages() invokes
debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages(), clearing the _PAGE_PRESENT bit for freed
pages in the kernel page table.  KHO scratch areas are allocated from
memblock and noted by kmemleak.  But these areas don't remain reserved but
released later to the page allocator using init_cma_reserved_pageblock(). 
This causes subsequent kmemleak scans access non-PRESENT pages, leading to
fatal page faults.

Mark scratch areas with kmemleak_ignore_phys() after they are allocated
from memblock to exclude them from kmemleak scanning before they are
released to buddy allocator to fix this.

8def18633e liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state
Currently file handlers only get the serialized_data field to store their
state.  This field has a pointer to the serialized state of the file, and
it becomes a part of LUO file's serialized state.

File handlers can also need some runtime state to track information that
shouldn't make it in the serialized data.

One such example is a vmalloc pointer.  While kho_preserve_vmalloc()
preserves the memory backing a vmalloc allocation, it does not store the
original vmap pointer, since that has no use being passed to the next
kernel.  The pointer is needed to free the memory in case the file is
unpreserved.

Provide a private field in struct luo_file and pass it to all the
callbacks.  The field's can be set by preserve, and must be freed by
unpreserve.

16cec0d265 liveupdate: luo_session: add ioctls for file preservation
Introducing the userspace interface and internal logic required to manage
the lifecycle of file descriptors within a session.  Previously, a session
was merely a container; this change makes it a functional management unit.

The following capabilities are added:

A new set of ioctl commands are added, which operate on the file
descriptor returned by CREATE_SESSION. This allows userspace to:
- LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_PRESERVE_FD: Add a file descriptor to a session
  to be preserved across the live update.
- LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD: Retrieve a preserved file in the
  new kernel using its unique token.
- LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_FINISH: finish session

The session's .release handler is enhanced to be state-aware.  When a
session's file descriptor is closed, it correctly unpreserves the session
based on its current state before freeing all associated file resources.

7c722a7f44 liveupdate: luo_file: implement file systems callbacks
This patch implements the core mechanism for managing preserved files
throughout the live update lifecycle.  It provides the logic to invoke the
file handler callbacks (preserve, unpreserve, freeze, unfreeze, retrieve,
and finish) at the appropriate stages.

During the reboot phase, luo_file_freeze() serializes the final metadata
for each file (handler compatible string, token, and data handle) into a
memory region preserved by KHO.  In the new kernel, luo_file_deserialize()

81cd25d263 liveupdate: luo_core: add user interface
Introduce the user-space interface for the Live Update Orchestrator via
ioctl commands, enabling external control over the live update process and
management of preserved resources.

The idea is that there is going to be a single userspace agent driving the
live update, therefore, only a single process can ever hold this device
opened at a time.

The following ioctl commands are introduced:

LIVEUPDATE_IOCTL_CREATE_SESSION
Provides a way for userspace to create a named session for grouping file
descriptors that need to be preserved. It returns a new file descriptor
representing the session.

LIVEUPDATE_IOCTL_RETRIEVE_SESSION
Allows the userspace agent in the new kernel to reclaim a preserved
session by its name, receiving a new file descriptor to manage the
restored resources.

0153094d03 liveupdate: luo_session: add sessions support
Introduce concept of "Live Update Sessions" within the LUO framework.  LUO
sessions provide a mechanism to group and manage `struct file *` instances
(representing file descriptors) that need to be preserved across a
kexec-based live update.

Each session is identified by a unique name and acts as a container for
file objects whose state is critical to a userspace workload, such as a
virtual machine or a high-performance database, aiming to maintain their
functionality across a kernel transition.

This groundwork establishes the framework for preserving file-backed state
across kernel updates, with the actual file data preservation mechanisms
to be implemented in subsequent patches.

1aece82100 liveupdate: luo_core: integrate with KHO
Integrate the LUO with the KHO framework to enable passing LUO state
across a kexec reboot.

This patch implements the lifecycle integration with KHO:

1. Incoming State: During early boot (`early_initcall`), LUO checks if
   KHO is active. If so, it retrieves the "LUO" subtree, verifies the
   "luo-v1" compatibility string, and reads the `liveupdate-number` to
   track the update count.

2. Outgoing State: During late initialization (`late_initcall`), LUO
   allocates a new FDT for the next kernel, populates it with the basic
   header (compatible string and incremented update number), and
   registers it with KHO (`kho_add_subtree`).

3. Finalization: The `liveupdate_reboot()` notifier is updated to invoke
   `kho_finalize()`. This ensures that all memory segments marked for
   preservation are properly serialized before the kexec jump.

9e2fd062fa liveupdate: luo_core: Live Update Orchestrator
Patch series "Live Update Orchestrator", v8.

This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem
designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. 
This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors
to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines.  LUO
achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as
memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file
descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or
any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec
reboot.

The other series that use LUO, are VFIO [1], IOMMU [2], and PCI [3]
preservations.

Github repo of this series [4].

The core of LUO is a framework for managing the lifecycle of preserved
resources through a userspace-driven interface. Key features include:

- Session Management
  Userspace agent (i.e. luod [5]) creates named sessions, each
  represented by a file descriptor (via centralized agent that controls
  /dev/liveupdate). The lifecycle of all preserved resources within a
  session is tied to this FD, ensuring automatic kernel cleanup if the
  controlling userspace agent crashes or exits unexpectedly.

- File Preservation
  A handler-based framework allows specific file types (demonstrated
  here with memfd) to be preserved. Handlers manage the serialization,
  restoration, and lifecycle of their specific file types.

- File-Lifecycle-Bound State
  A new mechanism for managing shared global state whose lifecycle is
  tied to the preservation of one or more files. This is crucial for
  subsystems like IOMMU or HugeTLB, where multiple file descriptors may
  depend on a single, shared underlying resource that must be preserved
  only once.

- KHO Integration
  LUO drives the Kexec Handover framework programmatically to pass its
  serialized metadata to the next kernel. The LUO state is finalized and
  added to the kexec image just before the reboot is triggered. In the
  future this step will also be removed once stateless KHO is
  merged [6].

- Userspace Interface
  Control is provided via ioctl commands on /dev/liveupdate for creating
  and retrieving sessions, as well as on session file descriptors for
  managing individual files.

- Testing
  The series includes a set of selftests, including userspace API
  validation, kexec-based lifecycle tests for various session and file
  scenarios, and a new in-kernel test module to validate the FLB logic.




Introduce LUO, a mechanism intended to facilitate kernel updates while
keeping designated devices operational across the transition (e.g., via
kexec).  The primary use case is updating hypervisors with minimal
disruption to running virtual machines.  For userspace side of hypervisor
update we have copyless migration.  LUO is for updating the kernel.

This initial patch lays the groundwork for the LUO subsystem.

Further functionality, including the implementation of state transition
logic, integration with KHO, and hooks for subsystems and file
descriptors, will be added in subsequent patches.

Create a character device at /dev/liveupdate.

A new uAPI header, <uapi/linux/liveupdate.h>, will define the necessary
structures.  The magic number for IOCTL is registered in
Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst.

7bd3643f94 kho: add Kconfig option to enable KHO by default
Currently, Kexec Handover must be explicitly enabled via the kernel
command line parameter `kho=on`.

For workloads that rely on KHO as a foundational requirement (such as the
upcoming Live Update Orchestrator), requiring an explicit boot parameter
adds redundant configuration steps.

Introduce CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_ENABLE_DEFAULT.  When selected, KHO
defaults to enabled.  This is equivalent to passing kho=on at boot.  The
behavior can still be disabled at runtime by passing kho=off.

de51999e68 kho: allow memory preservation state updates after finalization
Currently, kho_preserve_* and kho_unpreserve_* return -EBUSY if KHO is
finalized.  This enforces a rigid "freeze" on the KHO memory state.

With the introduction of re-entrant finalization, this restriction is no
longer necessary.  Users should be allowed to modify the preservation set
(e.g., adding new pages or freeing old ones) even after an initial
finalization.

The intended workflow for updates is now:
1. Modify state (preserve/unpreserve).
2. Call kho_finalize() again to refresh the serialized metadata.

Remove the kho_out.finalized checks to enable this dynamic behavior.

This also allows to convert kho_unpreserve_* functions to void, as they do
not return any error anymore.

d7255959b6 kho: allow kexec load before KHO finalization
Currently, kho_fill_kimage() checks kho_out.finalized and returns early if
KHO is not yet finalized.  This enforces a strict ordering where userspace
must finalize KHO *before* loading the kexec image.

This is restrictive, as standard workflows often involve loading the
target kernel early in the lifecycle and finalizing the state (FDT) only
immediately before the reboot.

Since the KHO FDT resides at a physical address allocated during boot
(kho_init), its location is stable.  We can attach this stable address to
the kimage regardless of whether the content has been finalized yet.

Relax the check to only require kho_enable, allowing kexec_file_load to
proceed at any time.

8e068a286a kho: update FDT dynamically for subtree addition/removal
Currently, sub-FDTs were tracked in a list (kho_out.sub_fdts) and the
final FDT is constructed entirely from scratch during kho_finalize().

We can maintain the FDT dynamically:
1. Initialize a valid, empty FDT in kho_init().
2. Use fdt_add_subnode and fdt_setprop in kho_add_subtree to
   update the FDT immediately when a subsystem registers.
3. Use fdt_del_node in kho_remove_subtree to remove entries.

This removes the need for the intermediate sub_fdts list and the
reconstruction logic in kho_finalize().  kho_finalize() now only needs to
trigger memory map serialization.

9a4301f715 kho: remove abort functionality and support state refresh
Previously, KHO required a dedicated kho_abort() function to clean up
state before kho_finalize() could be called again.  This was necessary to
handle complex unwind paths when using notifiers.

With the shift to direct memory preservation, the explicit abort step is
no longer strictly necessary.

Remove kho_abort() and refactor kho_finalize() to handle re-entry.  If
kho_finalize() is called while KHO is already finalized, it will now
automatically clean up the previous memory map and state before generating
a new one.  This allows the KHO state to be updated/refreshed simply by
triggering finalize again.

Update debugfs to return -EINVAL if userspace attempts to write 0 to the
finalize attribute, as explicit abort is no longer supported.

efa3a9775a kho: remove global preserved_mem_map and store state in FDT
Currently, the serialized memory map is tracked via
kho_out.preserved_mem_map and copied to the FDT during finalization.  This
double tracking is redundant.

Remove preserved_mem_map from kho_out.  Instead, maintain the physical
address of the head chunk directly in the preserved-memory-map FDT
property.

Introduce kho_update_memory_map() to manage this property. This function
handles:
1. Retrieving and freeing any existing serialized map (handling the
   abort/retry case).
2. Updating the FDT property with the new chunk address.

This establishes the FDT as the single source of truth for the handover
state.

71960fe134 kho: simplify serialization and remove __kho_abort
Currently, __kho_finalize() performs memory serialization in the middle of
FDT construction.  If FDT construction fails later, the function must
manually clean up the serialized memory via __kho_abort().

Refactor __kho_finalize() to perform kho_mem_serialize() only after the
FDT has been successfully constructed and finished.  This reordering has
two benefits:
1. It avoids expensive serialization work if FDT generation fails.
2. It removes the need for cleanup in the FDT error path.

As a result, the internal helper __kho_abort() is no longer needed for
internal error handling.  Inline its remaining logic (cleanup of the
preserved memory map) directly into kho_abort() and remove the helper.

53f8f064eb kho: verify deserialization status and fix FDT alignment access
During boot, kho_restore_folio() relies on the memory map having been
successfully deserialized.  If deserialization fails or no map is present,
attempting to restore the FDT folio is unsafe.

Update kho_mem_deserialize() to return a boolean indicating success.  Use
this return value in kho_memory_init() to disable KHO if deserialization
fails.  Also, the incoming FDT folio is never used, there is no reason to
restore it.

Additionally, use get_unaligned() to retrieve the memory map pointer from
the FDT.  FDT properties are not guaranteed to be naturally aligned, and
accessing a 64-bit value via a pointer that is only 32-bit aligned can
cause faults.

85de0090bd kho: preserve FDT folio only once during initialization
Currently, the FDT folio is preserved inside __kho_finalize().  If the
user performs multiple finalize/abort cycles, kho_preserve_folio() is
called repeatedly for the same FDT folio.

Since the FDT folio is allocated once during kho_init(), it should be
marked for preservation at the same time.  Move the preservation call to
kho_init() to align the preservation state with the object's lifecycle and
simplify the finalize path.

Also, pre-zero the FDT tree so we do not expose random bits to the user
and to the next kernel by using the new kho_alloc_preserve() api.

4c205677af kho: introduce high-level memory allocation API
Currently, clients of KHO must manually allocate memory (e.g., via
alloc_pages), calculate the page order, and explicitly call
kho_preserve_folio().  Similarly, cleanup requires separate calls to
unpreserve and free the memory.

Introduce a high-level API to streamline this common pattern:

- kho_alloc_preserve(size): Allocates physically contiguous, zeroed
  memory and immediately marks it for preservation.
- kho_unpreserve_free(ptr): Unpreserves and frees the memory
  in the current kernel.
- kho_restore_free(ptr): Restores the struct page state of
  preserved memory in the new kernel and immediately frees it to the
  page allocator.

077a4851b0 kho: fix misleading log message in kho_populate()
Patch series "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates", v2.

This patch series refactors the Kexec Handover subsystem to transition
from a rigid, state-locked model to a dynamic, re-entrant architecture. 
It also introduces usability improvements.

Motivation
Currently, KHO relies on a strict state machine where memory
preservation is locked upon finalization. If a change is required, the
user must explicitly "abort" to reset the state. Additionally, the kexec
image cannot be loaded until KHO is finalized, and the FDT is rebuilt
from scratch on every finalization.

This series simplifies this workflow to support "load early, finalize
late" scenarios.

Key Changes

State Machine Simplification:
- Removed kho_abort(). kho_finalize() is now re-entrant; calling it a
  second time automatically flushes the previous serialized state and
  generates a fresh one.

- Removed kho_out.finalized checks from preservation APIs, allowing
  drivers to add/remove pages even after an initial finalization.

- Decoupled kexec_file_load from KHO finalization. The KHO FDT physical
  address is now stable from boot, allowing the kexec image to be loaded
  before the handover metadata is finalized.

FDT Management:
- The FDT is now updated in-place dynamically when subtrees are added or
  removed, removing the need for complex reconstruction logic.

- The output FDT is always exposed in debugfs (initialized and zeroed at
  boot), improving visibility and debugging capabilities throughout the
  system lifecycle.

- Removed the redundant global preserved_mem_map pointer, establishing
  the FDT property as the single source of truth.

New Features & API Enhancements:
- High-Level Allocators: Introduced kho_alloc_preserve() and friends to
  reduce boilerplate for drivers that need to allocate, preserve, and
  eventually restore simple memory buffers.

- Configuration: Added CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_ENABLE_DEFAULT to allow KHO
  to be active by default without requiring the kho=on command line
  parameter.

Fixes:
- Fixed potential alignment faults when accessing 64-bit FDT properties.

- Fixed the lifecycle of the FDT folio preservation (now preserved once
  at init).


This patch (of 13):

The log message in kho_populate() currently states "Will skip init for
some devices".  This implies that Kexec Handover always involves skipping
device initialization.

However, KHO is a generic mechanism used to preserve kernel memory across
reboot for various purposes, such as memfd, telemetry, or reserve_mem. 
Skipping device initialization is a specific property of live update
drivers using KHO, not a property of the mechanism itself.

Remove the misleading suffix to accurately reflect the generic nature of
KHO discovery.

This change enhances the clarity and diagnostic value of the error message

Note, that some err are still printed by value, as those errors might come
