Patchsets in this merge:
- The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity"
from Li Wang removes some noise from the MM selftests build out.
- The 3 patch series "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently"
from Ryan Roberts speeds up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by
first scanning them for coalescing opportunities. This is applicable to
vfree() and to the releasing of frozen pages.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota
charge ratio" from SeongJae Park addresses a DAMOS usability issue: The
DAMOS quota often exhausts prematurely because it charges for all memory
attempted, causing slow and inconsistent performance when actions fail
on unreclaimable memory.
To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing
- The 8 patch series "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness
and support large page sizes" from Li Wang fixes various spurious
failures and improves the overall robustness of the cgroup zswap
selftests.
- The 3 patch series "fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno" from
Anthony Yznaga fixes an issue in the mlock selftests on arm32.
- The 2 patch series "mm: huge_memory: clean up defrag sysfs with
shared" from Breno Leitao does some maintenance work in the huge_memory
code.
- The 3 patch series "treewide: fixup gfp_t printks" from Brendan
Jackman uses the special vprintf() gfp_t conversion in various places.
- The 6 patch series "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and
initialization" from Muchun Song fixes several bugs in the vmemmap
optimization, mainly around incorrect page accounting and memmap
initialization in the DAX and memory hotplug paths. It also fixes
pageblock migratetype initialization and struct page initialization for
ZONE_DEVICE compound pages.
- The 4 patch series "mm/damon: repost non-hotfix reviewed patches in
damon/next tree" from is a sprinkle of unrelated minor bugfixes for
DAMON.
- The 3 patch series "mm: remove page_mapped()" from David Hildenbrand
remove this function from the tree, replacing it with folio_mapped().
- The 10 patch series "mm/damon: let DAMON be paused and resumed" from
SeongJae Park permits DAMON to be paused and resumed without losing its
current state.
- The 3 patch series "kasan: hw_tags: Disable tagging for stack and
page-tables" from Muhammad Usama Anjum simplifies and speeds up kasan by
removing its ineffective tagging of stacks and page tables.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon/reclaim,lru_sort: monitor all system rams
by default" from SeongJae Park simplifies deployment on diverse hardware
like NUMA systems by updating DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to
automatically monitor the physical address range covering all System RAM
areas by default, replacing the overly restrictive behavior that only
targeted the single largest memory block to save on negligible overhead.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as
deprecated" from SeongJae Park updates some DAMON docs.
- The 8 patch series "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock" from Dmitry
Ilvokhin switches zone->lock handling over to using the guard()
mechanisms.
- The 2 patch series "mm/filemap: tighten mmap_miss hit accounting" from
fujunjie fixes a flaw where the mmap_miss counter over-credited page
cache hits during fault-arounds and page-fault retries. This results in
significant reduction of redundant synchronous mmap readahead I/O,
drastically cutting down execution time and gigabytes read for sparse
random or strided memory access workloads.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/cgroup: Fix false positive failures in
test_percpu_basic" from Li Wang fixes a couple of false-positives in the
cgroup kmem selftests.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/reclaim: support monitoring intervals
auto-tuning" from SeongJae Park adds a new parameter to DAMON permitting
DAMON_RECLAIM to automatically tune DAMON's sampling and aggregation
intervals.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter" from
SeongJae Park chnges DAMON_STAT to provide the pid of its kdamond.
- The 2 patch series "mm/kmemleak: dedupe verbose scan output" from
Breno Leitao removes large amounts of duplicated backtraces from the
verbose-mode kmemleak output.
- The 8 patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)"
from David Hildenbrand reduces our use of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
with a view to removing it entirely in a later series.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of
2" from Liew Rui Yan prevents users from passing a non-power-of-2 value
of `addr_unit', as this later results in undesirable behavior.
- The 2 patch series "mm: document read_pages and simplify usage" from
Frederick Mayle does as claimed.
- The 3 patch series "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs" from Ye Liu
fixes three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c.
- The 4 patch series "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series" from
Brendan Jackman implements several cleanups in the page allocator and
related code.
- The 12 patch series "mm, swap: swap table phase IV: unify allocation"
from Kairui Song unifies the allocation and charging of anon and shmem
swap in folios, provides better synchronization, consolidates the
metadata management, hence dropping the static array and map, and
improves performance.
- The 28 patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes monitoring"
from SeongJae Park extends DAMON for monitoring general data attributes
other than accesses.
- The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc: free unused pages on vrealloc()
shrink" from Shivam Kalra implements the TODO in vrealloc() to unmap and
free unused pages when shrinking across a page boundary.
- The 3 patch series "mm/damon: documentation and comment fixes" from
niecheng does as advertised.
- The 3 patch series "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" from
Lorenzo Stoakes eliminates custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the
problematic success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access
uninitialized VMAs. It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code
field and updates the memory char driver accordingly.
- The 14 patch series "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability
and tests" from SeongJae Park implements minor improvements in code
readability and tests for DAMON.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon: fix macro arguments and clarify quota
goals doc" from Maksym Shcherba does those things.
- The 2 patch series "userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into
mm/userfaultfd.c" from Mike Rapoport performs that code movement.
- The 15 patch series "mm/mglru: improve reclaim loop and dirty folio"
from Kairui Song and others cleans up and slightly improves MGLRU's
reclaim loop and dirty writeback handling. Large performance
improvements are measured.
- The 3 patch series "use vma locks for proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps}
reads" from Suren Baghdasaryan uses per-vma locks when reading
/proc/pid/smaps and /proc/pid/numa_maps similar to reduce contention on
central mmap_lock.
- The 2 patch series "refactors thpsize_shmem_enabled_store() and
thpsize_shmem_enabled_show()" from Ran Xiaokai provides some cleanup
work in the THP code.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/memfd: fix compilation warnings" from
Konstantin Khorenko fixes a few build glitches in the memfd selftest
code.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: shrink obj_stock_pcp and cache multiple
objcgs" from Shakeel Butt resolves a 68% performance regression caused
by NUMA-node cache thrashing around struct obj_stock_pcp by shrinking
its existing fields and expanding it into a multi-slot array that caches
up to five obj_cgroup pointers per CPU, allowing per-node variants of
the same memcg to coexist within a single 64-byte cache line.
- The 2 patch series "zram: writeback fixes" from Sergey Senozhatsky
addresses a couple of unrelated zram writeback issues.
- The 9 patch series "mm: switch THP shrinker to list_lru" from Johannes
Weiner resolves NUMA-awareness issues and streamlines callsite
interaction by refactoring and extending the list_lru API to completely
replace the complex, open-coded deferred split queue for Transparent
Huge Pages (THPs).
- The 2 patch series "mm: improve large folio readahead for exec memory"
from Usama Arif improves large-folio readahead on systems like 64K-page
arm64 by preventing the mmap_miss check from permanently disabling
target-oriented VM_EXEC readahead, and by generalizing the
force_thp_readahead gate to support mappings with any usefully large
maximum folio order under the cache cap.
- The 6 patch series "userfaultfd/pagemap: pre-existing fixes" from
Kiryl Shutsemau fixes a bunch of minor issues in the
userfaultfd/pagemap, all of which were flagged by Sashiko review of
proposed new material.
- The 5 patch series "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Provide generic
vmemmap_set_pmd() and vmemmap_check_pmd()" from Muchun Song provides
generic versions of these two functions so the four arch-specific
implementations can be removed.
- The 2 patch series "mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race in
uswsusp by pinning swap device" from Youngjun Park addresses a
uswsusp-vs-swapoff race and reduces the swap device reference
taking/releasing frequency.
- The 2 patch series "mm/hmm: A fix and a selftest" from Dev Jain does
as claimed.

Scheduler updates for v7.2:
SMP load-balancing updates:
- A large series to introduce infrastructure for cache-aware load
balancing, with the goal of co-locating tasks that share data
within the same Last Level Cache (LLC) domain. By improving cache
locality, the scheduler can reduce cache bouncing and cache misses,
ultimately improving data access efficiency.
Implemented by Chen Yu and Tim Chen, based on early prototype work
by Peter Zijlstra, with fixes by Jianyong Wu, Peter Zijlstra and
Shrikanth Hegde.
- A series to simplify CONFIG_SCHED_SMT ifdef usage (Shrikanth Hegde)
Fair scheduler updates:
- A series to improve SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY scheduling by introducing
SMT awareness (Andrea Righi, K Prateek Nayak)
- A series to optimize cfs_rq and sched_entity allocation for
better data locality (Zecheng Li)
- A preparatory series to change fair/cgroup scheduling to a single
runqueue, without the final change (Peter Zijlstra)
- Auto-manage ext/fair dl_server bandwidth (Andrea Righi)
- Fix cpu_util runnable_avg arithmetic (Hongyan Xia)
- Optimize update_tg_load_avg()'s rate-limiting code
(Rik van Riel)
- Allow account_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle current hierarchy
(K Prateek Nayak)
- Update util_est after updating util_avg during dequeue, to fix
the util signal update logic, which reduces signal noise
(Vincent Guittot)
Scheduler topology updates:
- Allow multiple domains to claim sched_domain_shared (K Prateek Nayak)
- Add parameter to split LLC (Peter Zijlstra)
Core scheduler updates:
- Use trace_call__<tp>() to save a static branch (Gabriele Monaco)
Scheduler statistics updates:
- Drop now-stale mul_u64_u64_div_u64() cputime over-approximation guard
(Nicolas Pitre)
Deadline scheduler updates:
- Reject debugfs dl_server writes for offline CPUs (Andrea Righi)
- Fix replenishment logic for non-deferred servers
(Yuri Andriaccio)
RT scheduling updates:
- Turn RT_PUSH_IPI default off for non PREEMPT_RT (Steven Rostedt)
- Update default bandwidth for real-time tasks to 1.0
(Yuri Andriaccio)
Proxy scheduling updates:
- A series to implement Optimized Donor Migration for Proxy Execution
(John Stultz, Peter Zijlstra)
- Various proxy scheduling cleanups and fixes
(Peter Zijlstra, K Prateek Nayak)
Misc fixes, improvements and cleanups by Aaron Lu, Andrea Righi,

Locking updates for v7.2:
Futex updates:
- Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)
- Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real,
by Thomas Gleixner:
"The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect
to the clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending
pointer because unlock and clearing the pointer are not
atomic. The race window is between the unlock and clearing the
pending op pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this
window, exit will access a potentially invalid pending op
pointer when cleaning up the robust list. That happens if
another task manages to unmap the object containing the lock
before the cleanup, which results in an UAF. In the worst case
this UAF can lead to memory corruption when unrelated content
has been mapped to the same address by the time the access
happens.
User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
along:
1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
contended case
2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted
within the critical section.

Pull task_exec_state updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces a new per-task task_exec_state structure and relocates
the dumpable mode and the user namespace captured at execve() from
mm_struct onto it. It stays attached to the task for its full
lifetime.
__ptrace_may_access() and several /proc owner and visibility checks
need to consult two pieces of state for any observable task, including
zombies that have already gone through exit_mm(): the dumpable mode
and the user namespace captured at execve(). Both live on mm_struct
today, which exit_mm() clears from the task long before the task is
reaped. A reader that races with do_exit() observes task->mm == NULL
and either fails the check or falls back to init_user_ns - which
denies legitimate access to non-dumpable zombies that were running in
a nested user namespace.
mm_struct loses ->user_ns and the dumpability bits in ->flags.
MMF_DUMPABLE_BITS is reserved so the MMF_DUMP_FILTER_* layout exposed
via /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter stays stable. task->user_dumpable and
its exit_mm() snapshot are removed.
task_exec_state is the privilege domain established by an execve().
Within a thread group it is shared via refcount; across thread groups
each task has its own:
- CLONE_VM siblings (thread-group members, io_uring workers)
refcount-share the parent's exec_state.
- Non-CLONE_VM clones (fork(), vfork() without CLONE_VM) allocate a
fresh exec_state inheriting the parent's dumpable mode and user_ns.
- execve() in the child allocates a fresh instance and installs it
under task_lock + exec_update_lock via task_exec_state_replace().
- Credential changes (setresuid, capset, ...) and
prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE) update dumpability on the current task's
exec_state, i.e., on the thread group's shared instance.
On top of this exec_mmap() no longer tears down the old mm while
holding exec_update_lock for writing and cred_guard_mutex. Neither
lock is needed for that: exec_update_lock only exists to make the mm
swap atomic with the later commit_creds() and all its readers operate
on the new mm; none looks at the detached old mm.
The cost was real: __mmput() runs exit_mmap() over the entire old
address space and can block in exit_aio() waiting for in-flight AIO,
so execve() of a large process blocked ptrace_attach() and every
exec_update_lock reader for the duration of the teardown.
The old mm is now stashed in bprm->old_mm and released from
setup_new_exec() after both locks are dropped, with a backstop in
free_bprm() for the error paths"
* tag 'kernel-7.2-rc1.task_exec_state' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:

kasan: skip HW tagging for all kernel thread stacks
HW-tag KASAN never checks kernel stacks because stack pointers carry the match-all tag, so setting/poisoning tags is pure overhead. - Add __GFP_SKIP_KASAN to THREADINFO_GFP so every stack allocator that uses it skips tagging (fork path plus arch users) - Add __GFP_SKIP_KASAN to GFP_VMAP_STACK for the fork-specific vmap stacks. - When reusing cached vmap stacks, skip kasan_unpoison_range() if HW tags are enabled. Software KASAN is unchanged; this only affects tag-based KASAN.

exec_state: relocate dumpable information
The dumpable flag captured at execve() is consulted by __ptrace_may_access() and several /proc owner / visibility checks. It lives on mm_struct today, which exit_mm() clears from the task long before the task itself is reaped. exec_state is anchored to the execve() that established the current privilege domain. CLONE_VM siblings refcount-share the parent's exec_state via copy_exec_state(); non-CLONE_VM clones allocate a fresh exec_state inheriting the parent's dumpable mode and user_ns reference via task_exec_state_copy(). execve() allocates a fresh instance (via alloc_task_exec_state() in begin_new_exec()) and installs it under task_lock + exec_update_lock with task_exec_state_replace(). init_task uses a static instance. The dumpable mode now lives on task->exec_state->dumpable. task->mm->flags no longer carries dumpability; MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK is removed, but MMF_DUMPABLE_BITS is reserved so MMF_DUMP_FILTER_* bit positions remain stable for the /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter ABI. The task->user_dumpable cache bit and its assignment in exit_mm() are removed; readers go through get_dumpable(task) directly. coredump_params gains a snapshot field cprm.dumpable, populated from get_dumpable(current) at vfs_coredump() entry, replacing the previous __get_dumpable(cprm->mm_flags) consumers in fs/coredump.c and fs/pidfs.c. The user namespace recorded at execve() is consulted by __ptrace_may_access() and by /proc/PID/* owner derivation. Move the captured user_ns onto task_exec_state, which stays attached to the task past exit_mm() and across exit_files(). bprm grows a user_ns field staged in bprm_mm_init() with the caller's user_ns, narrowed by would_dump() to the closest privileged ancestor, and consumed by exec_mmap() via alloc_task_exec_state(bprm->user_ns). free_bprm() releases the staging reference. mm_struct loses ->user_ns entirely. Initializers in init-mm, efi_mm, and the implicit one in mm_init()/dup_mm()/mm_alloc() are removed; __mmdrop() drops the matching put_user_ns(). The kthread_use_mm() WARN_ON_ONCE(!mm->user_ns) is no longer meaningful and goes too.

kernel/fork: validate exit_signal in kernel_clone()
When a child process exits, it sends exit_signal to its parent via
do_notify_parent(). The clone() syscall constructs exit_signal as:
(lower_32_bits(clone_flags) & CSIGNAL)
CSIGNAL is 0xff, so values in the range 65-255 are possible. However,
valid_signal() only accepts signals up to _NSIG (64 on x86_64). A
non-zero non-valid exit_signal acts the same as exit_signal == 0: the
parent process is not signaled when the child terminates.
The syzkaller reproducer triggers this by calling clone() with flags=0x80,
resulting in exit_signal = (0x80 & CSIGNAL) = 128, which exceeds _NSIG and
is not a valid signal.
The v1 of this patch added the check only in the clone() syscall handler,
which is incomplete. kernel_clone() has other callers such as
sys_ia32_clone() which would remain unprotected. Move the check to
kernel_clone() to cover all callers.
Since the valid_signal() check is now in kernel_clone() and covers all
callers including clone3(), the same check in copy_clone_args_from_user()
becomes redundant and is removed. The higher 32bits check for clone3() is
kept as it is clone3() specific.
Note that this is a user-visible change: previously, passing an invalid
exit_signal to clone() was silently accepted. The man page for clone()
does not document any defined behavior for invalid exit_signal values, so
rejecting them with -EINVAL is the correct behavior. It is unlikely that
any sane application relies on passing an invalid exit_signal.
[oleg@redhat.com: the comment above kernel_clone() should be updated]

futex: Drop CLONE_THREAD requirement for private default hash alloc
Currently need_futex_hash_allocate_default() depends on strict pthread
semantics, abusing CLONE_THREAD. This breaks the non-concurrency
assumptions when doing the mm->futex_ref pcpu allocations, leading to
bugs[0] when sharing the mm in other ways; ie:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in futex_hash_put
... where the +1 bias can end up on a percpu counter that mm->futex_ref
no longer points at.
Loosen the check to cover any CLONE_VM clone, except vfork(). Excluding
vfork keeps the existing paths untouched (no overhead), and we can't
race in the first place: either the parent is suspended and the child
runs alone, or mm->futex_ref is already allocated from an earlier
CLONE_VM.

- The 27 patch series "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" from Christoph

than to quote Christoph:
The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and
not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in
include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/
header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so
architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or
create another module for the architecture code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers
has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it
changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter
architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet),
and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead.
- The 2 patch series "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling

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. The enqueue path is not yet updated and will follow in a later cycle. - scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() generalized to support any DSQ including remote local DSQs and user DSQs. Built on top of this, SCX_ENQ_IMMED guarantees that tasks dispatched to local DSQs either run immediately or get reenqueued back through ops.enqueue(), giving schedulers tighter control over queueing latency. Also useful for opportunistic CPU sharing across sub-schedulers. - ops.dequeue() was only invoked when the core knew a task was in BPF data structures, missing scheduling property change events and skipping callbacks for non-local DSQ dispatches from ops.select_cpu(). Fixed to guarantee exactly one ops.dequeue() call when a task leaves BPF scheduler custody. - Kfunc access validation moved from runtime to BPF verifier time, removing runtime mask enforcement. - Idle SMT sibling prioritization in the idle CPU selection path. - Documentation, selftest, and tooling updates. Misc bug fixes and cleanups. - Merges from tip/sched-core, cgroup/for-7.1, and for-7.0-fixes to resolve dependencies and conflicts for the above changes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYKACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCad0uaA4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGbktAQD2HrKdydyEfefz/n4mNpIXh/DFYX49NgKYcgUh sKy4ngD/Sy7nAZS2zwM+36PN6jBV7+cfuoaiKPgCstPFeGsvPwU= =fsgj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo: - cgroup sub-scheduler groundwork Multiple BPF schedulers can be attached to cgroups and the dispatch path is made hierarchical.

Pull pid_namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
- pid_namespace: make init creation more flexible
Annotate ->child_reaper accesses with {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to protect
the unlocked readers from cpu/compiler reordering, and enforce that
pid 1 in a pid namespace is always the first allocated pid (the
set_tid path already required this).
On top of that, allow opening pid_for_children before the pid
namespace init has been created. This lets one process create the pid
namespace and a different process create the init via setns(), which
makes clone3(set_tid) usable in all cases evenly and is particularly
useful to CRIU when restoring nested containers.
A new selftest covers both the basic create-pidns-then-init flow and
the cross-process variant, and a MAINTAINERS entry for the pid
namespace code is added.
- unrelated signal cleanup: update outdated comment for the removed

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE flag to fsmount() that creates a new mount
namespace with the newly created filesystem attached to a copy of the
real rootfs. This returns a namespace file descriptor instead of an
O_PATH mount fd, similar to how OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE works for
open_tree().
This allows creating a new filesystem and immediately placing it in a
new mount namespace in a single operation, which is useful for
container runtimes and other namespace-based isolation mechanisms.
This accompanies OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE and avoids a needless detour via
OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to get the same effect. Will be especially useful
when you mount an actual filesystem to be used as the container
rootfs.
- Currently, creating a new mount namespace always copies the entire
mount tree from the caller's namespace. For containers and sandboxes
that intend to build their mount table from scratch this is wasteful:
they inherit a potentially large mount tree only to immediately tear
it down.
This series adds support for creating a mount namespace that contains
only a clone of the root mount, with none of the child mounts. Two
new flags are introduced:
- CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS (0x400000000) for clone3(), using the 64-bit flag space
- UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS (0x00100000) for unshare()
Both flags imply CLONE_NEWNS. The resulting namespace contains a
single nullfs root mount with an immutable empty directory. The
intended workflow is to then mount a real filesystem (e.g., tmpfs)
over the root and build the mount table from there.
- Allow MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH to target the caller's rootfs, allowing to
switch out the rootfs without pivot_root(2).
The traditional approach to switching the rootfs involves
pivot_root(2) or a chroot_fs_refs()-based mechanism that atomically
updates fs->root for all tasks sharing the same fs_struct. This has
consequences for fork(), unshare(CLONE_FS), and setns().
This series instead decomposes root-switching into individually
atomic, locally-scoped steps:
fd_tree = open_tree(-EBADF, "/newroot", OPEN_TREE_CLONE | OPEN_TREE_CLOEXEC);
fchdir(fd_tree);
move_mount(fd_tree, "", AT_FDCWD, "/", MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH | MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH);
chroot(".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);
Since each step only modifies the caller's own state, the
fork/unshare/setns races are eliminated by design.
A key step to making this possible is to remove the locked mount
restriction. Originally MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH doesn't support mounting
beneath a mount that is locked. The locked mount protects the
underlying mount from being revealed. This is a core mechanism of
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS). The mounts in the new mount
namespace become locked. That effectively makes the new mount table
useless as the caller cannot ever get rid of any of the mounts no
matter how useless they are.
We can lift this restriction though. We simply transfer the locked
property from the top mount to the mount beneath. This works because
what we care about is to protect the underlying mount aka the parent.
The mount mounted between the parent and the top mount takes over the
job of protecting the parent mount from the top mount mount. This
leaves us free to remove the locked property from the top mount which
can consequently be unmounted:
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS)
and we inherit a clone of procfs on /proc then currently we cannot
unmount it as:
umount -l /proc
will fail with EINVAL because the procfs mount is locked.
After this series we can now do:
mount --beneath -t tmpfs tmpfs /proc
umount -l /proc
after which a tmpfs mount has been placed beneath the procfs mount.
The tmpfs mount has become locked and the procfs mount has become
unlocked.
This means you can safely modify an inherited mount table after
unprivileged namespace creation.
Afterwards we simply make it possible to move a mount beneath the
rootfs allowing to upgrade the rootfs.
Removing the locked restriction makes this very useful for containers
created with unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS) to reshuffle an
inherited mount table safely and MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH makes it possible
to switch out the rootfs instead of using the costly pivot_root(2).

Merge tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull clone and pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Add three new clone3() flags for pidfd-based process lifecycle
management.
CLONE_AUTOREAP:
CLONE_AUTOREAP makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever
becoming a zombie. This is a per-process property in contrast to
the existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for
SIGCHLD which applies to all children of a given parent.
Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set
SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped
property affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for
libraries or applications that need selective auto-reaping of
specific children while still being able to wait() on others.
CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's
signal_struct. When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this
flag and causes exit_notify() to transition the task directly to
EXIT_DEAD. Since the flag lives on the child it survives
reparenting: if the original parent exits and the child is
reparented to a subreaper or init the child still auto-reaps when
it eventually exits. This is cleaner than forcing the subreaper to
get SIGCHLD and then reaping it. If the parent doesn't care the
subreaper won't care. If there's a subreaper that would care it
would be easy enough to add a prctl() that either just turns back
on SIGCHLD and turns off auto-reaping or a prctl() that just
notifies the subreaper whenever a child is reparented to it.
CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent
to monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via
PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget
pattern. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero.
CLONE_THREAD and CLONE_PARENT are rejected: CLONE_THREAD because
autoreap is a process-level property, and CLONE_PARENT because an
autoreap child reparented via CLONE_PARENT could become an
invisible zombie under a parent that never calls wait().
The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children.
Each child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created
with CLONE_AUTOREAP.
CLONE_NNP:
CLONE_NNP sets no_new_privs on the child at clone time. Unlike
prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS) which a process sets on itself,
CLONE_NNP allows the parent to impose no_new_privs on the child at
creation without affecting the parent's own privileges.
CLONE_THREAD is rejected because threads share credentials.
CLONE_NNP is useful on its own for any spawn-and-sandbox pattern
but was specifically introduced to enable unprivileged usage of
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL.
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL:
This flag ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from
clone3(). When the last reference to the struct file created by
clone3() is closed the kernel sends SIGKILL to the child. A pidfd
obtained via pidfd_open() for the same process does not keep the
child alive and does not trigger autokill - only the specific
struct file from clone3() has this property. This is useful for
container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed subprocess
execution - any scenario where the child must die if the parent
crashes or abandons the pidfd or just wants a throwaway helper
process.
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_AUTOREAP.
It requires CLONE_PIDFD because the whole point is tying the
child's lifetime to the pidfd. It requires CLONE_AUTOREAP because a
killed child with no one to reap it would become a zombie - the
primary use case is the parent crashing or abandoning the pidfd so
no one is around to call waitpid(). CLONE_THREAD is rejected
because autokill targets a process not a thread.
If CLONE_NNP is specified together with CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL an
unprivileged user may spawn a process that is autokilled. The child
cannot escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being
spawned. If CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL is specified without CLONE_NNP the
caller must have have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace"

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.

locking: Add task::blocked_lock to serialize blocked_on state
So far, we have been able to utilize the mutex::wait_lock for serializing the blocked_on state, but when we move to proxying across runqueues, we will need to add more state and a way to serialize changes to this state in contexts where we don't hold the mutex::wait_lock. So introduce the task::blocked_lock, which nests under the mutex::wait_lock in the locking order, and rework the locking to use it.

fork: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul in coredump_filter_setup
Replace simple_strtoul() with the recommended kstrtoul() for parsing the 'coredump_filter=' boot parameter. Check the return value of kstrtoul() and reject invalid values. This adds error handling while preserving behavior for existing values, and removes use of the deprecated simple_strtoul() helper. The current code silently sets 'default_dump_filter = 0' if parsing fails, instead of leaving the default value (MMF_DUMP_FILTER_DEFAULT) unchanged. Rename the static variable 'default_dump_filter' to 'coredump_filter' since it does not necessarily contain the default value and the current name can be misleading.

nsproxy: Add FOR_EACH_NS_TYPE() X-macro and CLONE_NS_ALL
Introduce the FOR_EACH_NS_TYPE(X) macro as the single source of truth for the set of (struct type, CLONE_NEW* flag) pairs that define Linux namespace types. Currently, the list of CLONE_NEW* flags is duplicated inline in multiple call sites and would need another copy in each new consumer. This makes it easy to miss one when a new namespace type is added. Derive two things from the X-macro: - CLONE_NS_ALL: Bitmask of all known CLONE_NEW* flags, usable as a validity mask or iteration bound. - ns_common_type(): Rewritten to use the X-macro via a leading-comma _Generic pattern, so the struct-to-flag mapping stays in sync with the flag set automatically. Replace the inline flag enumerations in copy_namespaces(), unshare_nsproxy_namespaces(), check_setns_flags(), and ksys_unshare() with CLONE_NS_ALL. When a new namespace type is added, only FOR_EACH_NS_TYPE needs to be updated; CLONE_NS_ALL, ns_common_type(), and all the call sites pick up the change automatically.

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.

namespace: allow creating empty mount namespaces
Add support for creating a mount namespace that contains only a copy of the root mount from the caller's mount namespace, with none of the child mounts. This is useful for containers and sandboxes that want to start with a minimal mount table and populate it from scratch rather than inheriting and then tearing down the full mount tree. Two new flags are introduced: - CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS for clone3(), using the 64-bit flag space. - UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS for unshare(), reusing the CLONE_PARENT_SETTID bit which has no meaning for unshare. Both flags imply CLONE_NEWNS. For the unshare path, UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS is converted to CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS in unshare_nsproxy_namespaces() before it reaches copy_mnt_ns(), so the mount namespace code only needs to handle a single flag. In copy_mnt_ns(), when CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS is set, clone_mnt() is used instead of copy_tree() to clone only the root mount. The caller's root and working directory are both reset to the root dentry of the new mount. The cleanup variables are changed from vfsmount pointers with __free(mntput) to struct path with __free(path_put) because the empty mount namespace path needs to release both mount and dentry references when replacing the caller's root and pwd. In the normal (non-empty) path only the mount component is set, and dput(NULL) is a no-op so path_put remains correct there as well.

pidfd: add CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL that ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from clone3(). When the last reference to the struct file created by clone3() is closed the kernel sends SIGKILL to the child. A pidfd obtained via pidfd_open() for the same process does not keep the child alive and does not trigger autokill - only the specific struct file from clone3() has this property. This is useful for container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed subprocess execution - any scenario where the child must die if the parent crashes or abandons the pidfd. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD (the whole point is tying lifetime to the pidfd file) and CLONE_AUTOREAP (a killed child with no one to reap it would become a zombie). CLONE_THREAD is rejected because autokill targets a process not a thread. The clone3 pidfd is identified by the PIDFD_AUTOKILL file flag set on the struct file at clone3() time. The pidfs .release handler checks this flag and sends SIGKILL via do_send_sig_info(SIGKILL, SEND_SIG_PRIV, ...) only when it is set. Files from pidfd_open() or open_by_handle_at() are distinct struct files that do not carry this flag. dup()/fork() share the same struct file so they extend the child's lifetime until the last reference drops. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL uses a privilege model based on CLONE_NNP: without CLONE_NNP the child could escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being spawned, so the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace. With CLONE_NNP the child can never gain new privileges so unprivileged usage is allowed. This is a deliberate departure from the pdeath_signal model which is reset during secureexec and commit_creds() rendering it useless for container runtimes that need to deprivilege themselves.

clone: add CLONE_NNP

This is analogous to prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS) but applied at process creation rather than requiring a separate step after the child starts running. CLONE_NNP is rejected with CLONE_THREAD.

clone: add CLONE_AUTOREAP
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_AUTOREAP that makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever becoming a zombie. This is a per-process property in contrast to the existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD which applies to all children of a given parent. Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped property affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for libraries or applications that need selective auto-reaping of specific children while still being able to wait() on others. CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's signal_struct. When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this flag and causes exit_notify() to transition the task directly to EXIT_DEAD. Since the flag lives on the child it survives reparenting: if the original parent exits and the child is reparented to a subreaper or init the child still auto-reaps when it eventually exits. CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent to monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget pattern where the parent simply doesn't care about the child's exit status. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero. CLONE_AUTOREAP is rejected in combination with CLONE_PARENT. If a CLONE_AUTOREAP child were to clone(CLONE_PARENT) the new grandchild would inherit exit_signal == 0 from the autoreap parent's group leader but without signal->autoreap. This grandchild would become a zombie that never sends a signal and is never autoreaped - confusing and arguably broken behavior. The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children. Each child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created with CLONE_AUTOREAP.

sched/mmcid: Prevent CID stalls due to concurrent forks
A newly forked task is accounted as MMCID user before the task is visible
in the process' thread list and the global task list. This creates the
following problem:
CPU1 CPU2
fork()
sched_mm_cid_fork(tnew1)
tnew1->mm.mm_cid_users++;
tnew1->mm_cid.cid = getcid()
-> preemption
fork()
sched_mm_cid_fork(tnew2)
tnew2->mm.mm_cid_users++;
// Reaches the per CPU threshold
mm_cid_fixup_tasks_to_cpus()
for_each_other(current, p)
....
As tnew1 is not visible yet, this fails to fix up the already allocated CID
of tnew1. As a consequence a subsequent schedule in might fail to acquire a
(transitional) CID and the machine stalls.
Move the invocation of sched_mm_cid_fork() after the new task becomes
visible in the thread and the task list to prevent this.
This also makes it symmetrical vs. exit() where the task is removed as CID
user before the task is removed from the thread and task lists.

unshare: fix unshare_fs() handling
There's an unpleasant corner case in unshare(2), when we have a
CLONE_NEWNS in flags and current->fs hadn't been shared at all; in that
case copy_mnt_ns() gets passed current->fs instead of a private copy,
which causes interesting warts in proof of correctness]
> I guess if private means fs->users == 1, the condition could still be true.
Unfortunately, it's worse than just a convoluted proof of correctness.
Consider the case when we have CLONE_NEWCGROUP in addition to CLONE_NEWNS
(and current->fs->users == 1).
We pass current->fs to copy_mnt_ns(), all right. Suppose it succeeds and
flips current->fs->{pwd,root} to corresponding locations in the new namespace.
Now we proceed to copy_cgroup_ns(), which fails (e.g. with -ENOMEM).
We call put_mnt_ns() on the namespace created by copy_mnt_ns(), it's
destroyed and its mount tree is dissolved, but... current->fs->root and
current->fs->pwd are both left pointing to now detached mounts.
They are pinning those, so it's not a UAF, but it leaves the calling
process with unshare(2) failing with -ENOMEM _and_ leaving it with
pwd and root on detached isolated mounts. The last part is clearly a bug.
There is other fun related to that mess (races with pivot_root(), including
the one between pivot_root() and fork(), of all things), but this one
is easy to isolate and fix - treat CLONE_NEWNS as "allocate a new
fs_struct even if it hadn't been shared in the first place". Sure, we could
go for something like "if both CLONE_NEWNS *and* one of the things that might
end up failing after copy_mnt_ns() call in create_new_namespaces() are set,
force allocation of new fs_struct", but let's keep it simple - the cost
of copy_fs_struct() is trivial.
Another benefit is that copy_mnt_ns() with CLONE_NEWNS *always* gets
a freshly allocated fs_struct, yet to be attached to anything. That
seriously simplifies the analysis...
FWIW, that bug had been there since the introduction of unshare(2) ;-/

As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp filters, can't filter io_uring operations. That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical - filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it. io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied. This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled. This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or containers which really want both broader and more specific control. This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2, allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because the latter is often restricted in containers as well. These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data passed. On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted. Filters cannot change the return value of an operation, they can only permit or deny it based on the contents" * tag 'io_uring-bpf-restrictions.4-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: io_uring: allow registration of per-task restrictions io_uring: add task fork hook io_uring/bpf_filter: add ref counts to struct io_bpf_filter io_uring/bpf_filter: cache lookup table in ctx->bpf_filters io_uring/bpf_filter: allow filtering on contents of struct open_how io_uring/net: allow filtering on IORING_OP_SOCKET data io_uring: add support for BPF filtering for opcode restrictions |

kernel/fork: update obsolete use_mm references to kthread_use_mm
The comment for get_task_mm() in kernel/fork.c incorrectly references the deprecated function `use_mm()`, which has been renamed to `kthread_use_mm()` in kernel/kthread.c. This patch updates the documentation to reflect the current function names, ensuring accuracy when developers refer to the kernel thread memory context API. No functional changes were introduced.

fork-comment-fix: remove ambiguous question mark in CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID comment
The current comment "Clear TID on mm_release()?" ends with a question mark, implying uncertainty about whether the TID is actually cleared in mm_release(). However, the code flow is deterministic. When a task exits, mm_release() explicitly checks 'tsk->clear_child_tid' and clears. Since this behavior is unambiguous, remove the confusing question mark and rephrase the comment to clearly state that TID is cleared in mm_release().

rcu: Clean up after the SRCU-fastification of RCU Tasks Trace

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.

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.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.
- The 3 patch series "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" from
Sourabh Jain moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/
to /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
hopefully be removed one day.

sched_ext: Changes for v6.19
- Improve recovery from misbehaving BPF schedulers. When a scheduler puts many tasks with varying affinity restrictions on a shared DSQ, CPUs scanning through tasks they cannot run can overwhelm the system, causing lockups. Bypass mode now uses per-CPU DSQs with a load balancer to avoid this, and hooks into the hardlockup detector to attempt recovery. Add scx_cpu0 example scheduler to demonstrate this scenario. - Add lockless peek operation for DSQs to reduce lock contention for schedulers that need to query queue state during load balancing. - Allow scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to be called from anywhere in preparation for deprecating cpu_acquire/release() callbacks in favor of generic BPF hooks. - Prepare for hierarchical scheduler support: add scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() kfuncs, make scx_bpf_dsq_insert*() return bool, and wrap kfunc args in structs for future aux__prog parameter. - Implement cgroup_set_idle() callback to notify BPF schedulers when a cgroup's idle state changes. - Fix migration tasks being incorrectly downgraded from stop_sched_class to rt_sched_class across sched_ext enable/disable. Applied late as the fix is low risk and the bug subtle but needs stable backporting. - Various fixes and cleanups including cgroup exit ordering, SCX_KICK_WAIT reliability, and backward compatibility improvements. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYKACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCaS4h1A4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGe/MAP9EZ0pLiTpmMtt6mI/11Fmi+aWfL84j1zt13cz9 W4vb4gEA9eVEH6n9xyC4nhcOk9AQwSDuCWMOzLsnhW8TbEHVTww= =8W/B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo: - Improve recovery from misbehaving BPF schedulers.

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.

mm: simplify and rename mm flags function for clarity
The __mm_flags_set_word() function is slightly ambiguous - we use 'set' to refer to setting individual bits (such as in mm_flags_set()) but here we use it to refer to overwriting the value altogether. Rename it to __mm_flags_overwrite_word() to eliminate this ambiguity. We additionally simplify the functions, eliminating unnecessary bitmap_xxx() operations (the compiler would have optimised these out but it's worth being as clear as we can be here).
