Summary of series in this merge:
- "mm: make VMA flag semantics explicit, eliminate VM_SPECIAL"
(Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)):
Replace VM_SPECIAL with helpers describing mapping ownership and
behavior. Enforce the mmap flag rules and convert affected drivers,
removing ambiguous tests shared by driver mappings and ordinary memory.
- "support kselftest on nommu platform" (Hajime Tazaki):
Add opt-in mmap and mremap tests for NOMMU systems. Teach the runner to
avoid its fork-dependent timeout command and document the build and
runtime requirements.
- "mm/collapse: separate a collapse from its callers"
(Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)):
Separate huge-page collapse from caller policy. Replace khugepaged
identity checks with explicit permissions, and separate scanning from
collapse with the mmap_lock drop in one place.
- "mm: implement and use vma_has_anon_rmap(), silence KCSAN"
(Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)):
Provide a common helper for testing whether a VMA has anonymous reverse
mappings. Document the locking rules, annotate intentional concurrent
reads for KCSAN, and convert the core MM callers.
- "mm/sparse: remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT and further cleanups"
(David Hildenbrand (Arm)):
Remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT in favor of the early-section flag.
Simplify sparse memory initialization, section metadata handling and
related PFN validity checks.
- "sh: remove NUMA and SPARSEMEM support" (Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Remove SuperH NUMA and SPARSEMEM support. The extra memory banks have
been unusable since the NO_BOOTMEM conversion, leaving only the code and
data overhead.
- "mm: Unify device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths"
(Muchun Song):
Unify the generic device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths and
shared tail-page handling. Remove the duplicate DAX machinery while
retaining the powerpc radix implementation.
- "kselftest: mm: fix some failure of split_huge_page_test" (Yeoreum Yun):
Fix huge-page split tests racing with khugepaged recollapse. Use pagemap
and page flags instead of VMA-boundary assumptions which fail when glibc
has already enabled THP.
- "memcg: move memcgid refcount to objcg to unpin dying memcgs"
(Bingfang Guo):
Let dying memcgs be freed while swapped-out shmem still holds their IDs.
Move ID references to reparentable objcgs, with the necessary swap
accounting and RCU lifetime changes.
- "mm/truncate: fix data loss when truncating straddling large folios"
(Zhang Yi):
Preserve out-of-range data when truncating straddling large folios. Fix
a lookup race and split-failure handling, and handle minimum folio orders
for the forthcoming ext4 iomap buffered I/O path.
- "mm/damon: introduce damos quota goal target metric complement flag"
(SJ Park):
Let DAMOS quota goals use a metric's complement, so utilization can also
express free-memory goals without adding separate metrics. Add the sysfs
interface, documentation and tests.
- "arm64/mm: Standardize printing for pgtable entries" (Anshuman Khandual):
Use the generic formatter for arm64 page-table entries, ready for future
wider entries. Move the safe-PTE-update check out of the header to avoid
an include cycle.
- "mm: kmsan: fix iounmap metadata teardown" (Dima Koziuk):
Fix KMSAN metadata leaks on iounmap and failed ioremap allocations. Free
backing pages before removing their mappings, and share the teardown with
partial-allocation cleanup.
- "mm/damon/core: preserve quota state when constructing schemes"
(Karl Mehltretter):
Preserve running DAMOS quota state while validating parameter updates.
Even rejected updates could reset accounting and exceed the quota window;
add tests for both accepted and rejected updates.
- "mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj VA lookup" (Ye Liu):
Fix vmalloc_dump_obj() lookups for last-page addresses and allocations
spanning vmap zones. These allocations were being missed in diagnostic
output.
- "mm: various (urgent?) fixes" (David Hildenbrand (Arm)):
Fix mmap charge leaks and hugetlb use-after-free, wrong-address
unmapping, stuck locks and endless faults. Also preserve reservations on
failed mremap and handle stale userfaultfd bits.
- "maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode" (Dimitris Charisis):
Fix pointer and metadata confusion during RCU destruction of
maple_range_64 nodes, avoiding double frees and invalid accesses. Add a
regression test; no in-tree user currently uses this combination.
- "mm: fix hugetlb NR_HUGETLB accounting on folio migration" (Hongfu Li):
Fix hugetlb migration and preallocation accounting so /proc/vmstat
retains the correct count and memory.numa_stat follows the folio to its
new node.
- "mm/damon: fix a minor bug, clean code, and add a test" (SJ Park):
Fix 32-bit DAMON age overflow which made old regions look young. Share
hugetlb folio acquisition code and add a regression test for the
previously fixed last-region skipping bug.
- "mm/damon/core: cleanup code, reduce stack usage, and add kunit"
(SJ Park):
Reduce kdamond stack usage and remove unused enums. Add deterministic
PSI quota-goal tests which do not depend on the machine's current memory
pressure.
- "mm/damon: fix the temporal goal tuner's size quota conversion"
(Donggeun Yoo):
Bound the temporal tuner's quota conversion to prevent overflow and zero
effective quotas, which could stop schemes making progress. Add boundary
tests.
- "Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dma_alloc_coherent" (Baoquan He):
Remove redundant GFP_DMA flags from coherent DMA allocation calls. The
DMA API already selects the zone from device limits and ignores the
caller's flag.
- "kselftest: mm: fix intermittent failure khugepaged test" (Yeoreum Yun):
Propagate child-process failures in the khugepaged tests and prevent
background collapse from racing their checks. This removes false passes
and intermittent failures.
- "MAINTAINERS: cover all hugetlb headers under HUGETLB SUBSYSTEM"
(Enze Li):
Cover all hugetlb headers in MAINTAINERS so get_maintainer.pl finds the
right maintainers. Also label the closing hugetlb_cgroup.h include
guard.
Summary of the 65 singletons in this merge:
The singletons include a few worthwhile performance fixes. Avoiding
unnecessary reverse-map tree updates gave a reported 15.9% improvement
in UnixBench's execl test on a 192-core x86 system. A reclaim retry fix
stops defrag_mode from spinning under memory.low protection; a reported
file-creation stress test ran 5.7 times faster, with far less memory
pressure. Narrower hugetlb invalidations also spare KVM guests needless
refaults: the reported Redis-in-VM P99 QPS penalty while punching holes
fell from 7.09% to 1.45%.
Several fixes prevent lost data or corrupted memory. Lazyfree huge-page
races with mremap()/munmap() could lose data or access freed memory, and
MADV_COLD could lose a concurrent write's dirty bit. Another fix
prevents stale migration entries from outliving large folios. On
filesystems with blocks smaller than a page, extending a file by 4 GiB
or more could expose bytes written past the old EOF through mmap instead
of zeroes. That is fixed, along with use-after-free races in
PAGEMAP_SCAN during process exit and in memory-cgroup accounting on
PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Other fixes stop UFFDIO_MOVE spinning forever on pinned large folios,
which could wedge other memory operations, and stop mremap() leaking
commit charges until allocations fail under strict overcommit. A further
fix keeps userfaultfd tracking intact on neighboring mappings. NUMA
binding no longer prevents long-term pins when the chosen node has only
movable memory, fixing QEMU/VFIO startup and io_uring buffer
registration failures. MGLRU also gets a fix for early-boot crashes with
memory cgroups disabled at boot, notably in small crash kernels.

selftests: run tests on nommu architecture
Patch series "support kselftest on nommu platform", v5. This patchset adds an ability to execute kselftest on nommu platforms. Currently there are several issues if we wish to run kselftests on nommu targets: - it cannot compile/build test binaries because the current files mainly assume to build with glibc, - some of the tests are not able to run on nommu targets as there are no fork(2) syscall. The first issue can be avoided if we can build static PIE binaries (if targets support it), but in our case (build on ubuntu/glibc and run on alpine/musl-libc), it fails to invoke due to lack of the GNU ifunc mechanism. Thus, we need to cross-compile with musl toolchain, which needs to be solved the first issue. The second issue is the lack of fork(2) syscall on those platforms. Especially the test harness helper (kselftest_harness.h) uses the syscall, which cannot be simply with vfork(2). `timeout` command used in `runner.sh` never works for nommu platform as it uses fork(2). nommu component in the mm subsystem has several known issues and having test cases should help this situation, thus this patchset is very first step toward enriching test environment which has not been well tested for a while. The test cases is implemented based on the document (Documentation/admin-guide/mm/nommu-mmap.rst). Initial shape for this patches is implemented as an opt-in TARGET, not built/invoked automatically if users don't specify this nommu target. This patch (of 2): Architectures lacking MMU don't support fork(2) syscall and only vfork(2) is available with limitations. Thus, we cannot run kselftest on nommu architecture as is. This commit addresses this issue with the following changes: - Detect NOMMU at runtime from the MmapCopy field in /proc/meminfo and avoid timeout, which requires fork(2). - Document how to build and run the NOMMU tests, including the procfs prerequisite for runtime detection. Build and run the tests with: $ make ARCH=um O=build kselftest-all TARGETS=nommu $ make ARCH=um O=build kselftest-install TARGETS=nommu $ ./build/kselftest/kselftest_install/run_kselftest.sh -p -c nommu Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20261006085642.3852152-1-thehajime@gmail.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20261006085642.3852152-2-thehajime@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Hajime Tazaki <thehajime@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260813063401.1786548-1-thehajime%40gmail.com Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Brendan Jackman <brendan.jackman@linux.dev> Cc: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com> Cc: "Ricardo B.

Summary of patch series in this merge, ordered by descending size:
- "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)):
Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported mTHP
orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan completion
deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork and remap;
verify that the contents survive.
Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too.
- "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing"
(Sarthak Sharma):
Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the benchmark
into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest, and move shared
helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job instead of mixing timing
measurements with correctness checks.
Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly.
- "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun Song):
Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the backing
metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling of device
memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime requirements.
- "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB" (Muchun
Song):
Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with section-based
vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large huge pages need fewer
backing pages, while keeping initialization, teardown and the various
hugepage configurations straight.
- "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split helpers"
(Kairui Song):
Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather
different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into
separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix error
paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen.
Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting.
- "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen):
Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional code
around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and lets callers
depend on one locking model rather than carrying both cases along.
- "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt):
Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long since
been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling around a
separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much.
- "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan):
Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible, rather than
holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the contention fallback
and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces latency when another
thread is busy changing its mappings.
- "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park):
Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes, making
them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend the
interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be used
rather than merely collected.
- "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi Yan):
Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say whether
private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users, including erofs,
f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and flags. There are a few
special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb, which need explicit care.
- "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)):
Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out the
page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble over freed
tables while mappings are being torn down.
- "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng):
Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so reclaim
can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the per-memcg
tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist its own lockdep
class to avoid spurious dependency reports.
- "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual):
Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their
architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table interfaces
and callers now that these checks no longer serve a useful purpose.
- "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt):
Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're actually
accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their neighboring state
from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless cacheline traffic.
- "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region" (Donggeun
Yoo):
Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region. Charge
only the part left after filtering, not the original region, and add KUnit
coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into the quota and make
schemes run more slowly than requested.
- "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ Park):
Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including validation and
the results reported to userspace. This is mostly about catching
regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before they become harder to
diagnose.
- "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg API"
(Tal Zussman):
Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and
lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is mechanical,
but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler catch accidental
writes.
- "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park):
Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's virtual-address
backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with the probe
infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there too.
- "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song):
Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant
accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow without
changing the intended reclaim policy.
- "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"
(Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush() interface
across architectures and execmem. Make the requested mapping changes and
the callers' expectations agree, rather than relying on subtly different
architecture behavior.
- "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti):
Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes. They
are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only makes reclaim
rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and let zswap keep
these folios off the LRU altogether.
- "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski):
Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path helpers
pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin behavior the
same while making the call sequence easier to maintain.
- "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe):
Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant work
when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every descriptor
can get expensive.
- "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu):
Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier instead
of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling correct
while saving per-entry metadata.
- "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory" (Krishna
Iyer):
Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant access
checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall through a hole in
the monitoring machinery.
- "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport
(Microsoft)):
Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the
awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's
ownership and permission transitions more predictable.
- "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky):
Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to the
supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface which we no
longer need.
- "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory Price):
Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference to
the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the
ownership rules less obscure.
- "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry Song
(Xiaomi)):
Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold and
hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list handling
so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction candidates.
- "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang):
Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation, not an
outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through shmem and the
generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting, and add tests for the
resulting SIGBUS behavior.
- "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve usage" (Ye
Liu):
Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and make
the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less frustrating when
tracking down who is holding on to pages.
- "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ Park):
Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers can
share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass
inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input.
- "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core, interfaces
and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler code and fewer
opportunities for confusion.
- "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in docs" (SJ
Park):
Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and bring the
documentation into line with the code. These changes should make the newer
facilities easier to understand and maintain.
- "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range of
folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new
interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the desired
hugepage sizes.
- "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and
reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong rather
than to test harness bookkeeping.
- "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes Weiner):
Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap space is
available. There is little point paying for an expensive split when
reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out.
- "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu):
Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the shadow
entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does not quietly
consume more metadata than it should.
- "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu):
Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore global
settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it found it,
particularly when a whole suite follows behind.
- "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman):
Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio and
swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the swap
paths a little more consistent.
- "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price):
Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce duplicated
logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while making it clearer
how zones are selected.
- "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao):
Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock once
for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the lock-hold
bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug kernels.
- "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under Python
safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and documentation. Nothing
especially glamorous, but these are worth doing.
- "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives
schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring probes
observed.
- "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim" (Ridong
Chen):
Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd. The
protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these paths,
leaving protected memory more exposed than requested.
- "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park):
Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and expand
test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes in this
batch.
- "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng Wang):
Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD and
PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and remove
the redundant flag plumbing.
- "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during demotion"
(Longlong Xia):
Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting huge
pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as one huge
page turns into several smaller ones.
- "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params
validation" (Jason Angelov):
Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe parameters.
These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in ordinary monitoring
tests.
- "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms" (SJ
Park):
Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the sysfs
refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and control
behavior were real.
- "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang):
Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable lookups and
work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making those frequent
operations cheaper.
- "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato):
Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers. There
is no need to maintain another local version of the same mechanism.
- "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu):
Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull duplicated
vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional changes are
intended.
- "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity" (Ridong
Chen):
Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read and
verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing unnecessary twists
in the control flow.
- "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury Norov):
Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage where the
lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks so such mistakes
are harder to slip through unnoticed.
- "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi):
Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work and
tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which were better
fixed than left lying around.
- "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman):
Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete
wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is
intended to remain the same.
- "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park):
Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots which have
nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely used swap
devices.
- "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao):
Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags, rather
than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make tracing a good
deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings.
- "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao):
Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be bad.
Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU chasing an
entry that cannot be used.
- "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi):
Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten its
associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result should be
more robust pageblock isolation.
- "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang):
Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the
information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace event
needs it.
- "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park):
Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and
virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the
implementations back into agreement.
- "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio" (Hongfu
Li):
Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between nodes or
are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can retain stale
charges and even underflow when the folio is freed.
- "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc"
(Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up some
kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right
interface.
- "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup" (Tianyi
Chen):
Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret setup to
the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures caused by the
test harness itself.
- "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core layer"
(SJ Park):
Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making each
user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions consistent
across callers.
- "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto tuning"
(Asier Gutierrez):
Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use
monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than
forcing one fixed policy onto every workload.
- "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default" (Breno
Leitao):
Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third confirming
scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The extra scan helps
suppress transient false positives in noisy debug builds.
- "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss):
Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are reported and
cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to guess how far the
operation got.
- "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for damon_call()" (SJ
Park):
Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely.
Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an invalid
state.
- "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park):
Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another way to
select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the filter
interfaces and tests.
- "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu):
Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API
surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case.
- "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price):
Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct page.
The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the normal-folio
checks and handle those mappings properly.
- "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman):
Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for the
next person to stumble over.
- "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents" (Liew Rui
Yan):
Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a missing
sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error could make a
monitoring-start request appear successful when it wasn't.
- "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui Yan):
Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation and
straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what users
should expect from that counter.
- "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson Felipe
Pereira):
Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting
child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and avoid
another test assumption which breaks under constrained scheduling.
- "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu):
Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment. Keep
the description aligned with how the advisor actually works.
- "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() fails"
(Ackerley Tng):
Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure
failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale accounting
or resources behind.
- "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark" (Ridong
Chen):
Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor doesn't
overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open measurements
independent as intended.
- "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory Price):
Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle them.
Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has ordinary
system-memory backing.
- "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon):
Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There is
no reason to keep maintaining dead paths.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau):
Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported
mTHP orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan
completion deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork
and remap; verify that the contents survive.
Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too.
- "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing"
(Sarthak Sharma):
Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the
benchmark into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest,
and move shared helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job
instead of mixing timing measurements with correctness checks.
Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly.
- "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun
Song):
Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the
backing metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling
of device memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime
requirements.
- "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB"
(Muchun Song):
Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with
section-based vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large
huge pages need fewer backing pages, while keeping initialization,
teardown and the various hugepage configurations straight.
- "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split
helpers" (Kairui Song):
Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather
different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into
separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix
error paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen.
Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting.
- "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen):
Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional
code around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and
lets callers depend on one locking model rather than carrying both
cases along.
- "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt):
Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long
since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling
around a separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much.
- "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan):
Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible,
rather than holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the
contention fallback and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces
latency when another thread is busy changing its mappings.
- "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park):
Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes,
making them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend
the interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be
used rather than merely collected.
- "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi
Yan):
Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say
whether private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users,
including erofs, f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and
flags. There are a few special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb,
which need explicit care.
- "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes):
Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out
the page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble
over freed tables while mappings are being torn down.
- "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng):
Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so
reclaim can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the
per-memcg tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist
its own lockdep class to avoid spurious dependency reports.
- "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual):
Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their
architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table
interfaces and callers now that these checks no longer serve a
useful purpose.
- "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt):
Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're
actually accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their
neighboring state from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless
cacheline traffic.
- "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region"
(Donggeun Yoo):
Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region.
Charge only the part left after filtering, not the original region,
and add KUnit coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into
the quota and make schemes run more slowly than requested.
- "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ
Park):
Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including
validation and the results reported to userspace. This is mostly
about catching regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before
they become harder to diagnose.
- "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg
API" (Tal Zussman):
Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and
lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is
mechanical, but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler
catch accidental writes.
- "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park):
Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's
virtual-address backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with
the probe infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there
too.
- "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song):
Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant
accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow
without changing the intended reclaim policy.
- "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"
(Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush()
interface across architectures and execmem. Make the requested
mapping changes and the callers' expectations agree, rather than
relying on subtly different architecture behavior.
- "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti):
Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes.
They are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only
makes reclaim rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and
let zswap keep these folios off the LRU altogether.
- "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski):
Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path
helpers pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin
behavior the same while making the call sequence easier to maintain.
- "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe):
Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant
work when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every
descriptor can get expensive.
- "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu):
Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier
instead of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling
correct while saving per-entry metadata.
- "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory"
(Krishna Iyer):
Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant
access checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall
through a hole in the monitoring machinery.
- "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport):
Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the
awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's
ownership and permission transitions more predictable.
- "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky):
Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to
the supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface
which we no longer need.
- "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory
Price):
Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference
to the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the
ownership rules less obscure.
- "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry
Song):
Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold
and hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list
handling so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction
candidates.
- "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang):
Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation,
not an outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through
shmem and the generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting,
and add tests for the resulting SIGBUS behavior.
- "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve
usage" (Ye Liu):
Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and
make the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less
frustrating when tracking down who is holding on to pages.
- "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ
Park):
Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers
can share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass
inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input.
- "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):

lock-hold bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug
kernels.

bad. Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU
chasing an entry that cannot be used.
- "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi):
Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten
its associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result
should be more robust pageblock isolation.
- "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang):
Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the
information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace
event needs it.
- "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park):
Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and
virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the
implementations back into agreement.
- "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio"
(Hongfu Li):
Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between
nodes or are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can
retain stale charges and even underflow when the folio is freed.
- "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify
kmalloc" (Mike Rapoport):
Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up
some kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right
interface.
- "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup"
(Tianyi Chen):
Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret
setup to the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures
caused by the test harness itself.
- "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core
layer" (SJ Park):
Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making
each user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions
consistent across callers.
- "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto
tuning" (Asier Gutierrez):
Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use
monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than
forcing one fixed policy onto every workload.
- "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default"
(Breno Leitao):
Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third
confirming scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The
extra scan helps suppress transient false positives in noisy debug
builds.
- "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss):
Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are
reported and cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to
guess how far the operation got.
- "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for
damon_call()" (SJ Park):
Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely.
Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an
invalid state.
- "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park):
Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another
way to select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the
filter interfaces and tests.
- "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu):
Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API
surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case.
- "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price):
Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct
page. The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the
normal-folio checks and handle those mappings properly.
- "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman):
Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for
the next person to stumble over.
- "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents"
(Liew Rui Yan):
Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a
missing sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error
could make a monitoring-start request appear successful when it
wasn't.
- "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui
Yan):
Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation
and straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what
users should expect from that counter.
- "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson
Felipe Pereira):
Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting
child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and
avoid another test assumption which breaks under constrained
scheduling.
- "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu):
Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment.
Keep the description aligned with how the advisor actually works.
- "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb()
fails" (Ackerley Tng):
Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure
failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale
accounting or resources behind.
- "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark"
(Ridong Chen):
Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor
doesn't overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open
measurements independent as intended.
- "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory
Price):
Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle
them. Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has
ordinary system-memory backing.
- "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon):
Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There
is no reason to keep maintaining dead paths.

mm: kmemleak: raise min_unref_scans to 3 for verbose auto-scan
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE sends every report to the console, so a transient false positive there is broadcast to whatever collects the kernel log rather than sitting in the debugfs file until someone looks. That asymmetry justifies being more conservative than the general case. Require one more consecutive unreferenced scan before reporting. The only cost is that a genuine leak is reported one scan interval later (600s by default); the value stays writable at run time through the module parameter. Kernels without CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE keep reporting on the first unreferenced scan. I've been running constant upstream kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE set, and I am still seeing some rare false positive, that goes away with min_unref_scans=3, so, making it the default based on my heuristic.

Documentation: kmemleak: fix stale statements about scanning
Three statements in the "false positives/negatives" and "Limitations" sections have never matched the code: - task stack scanning is on by default (kmemleak_stack_scan = 1), as the parameter list earlier in the same document already states; - MSECS_MIN_AGE has been 5000, not 1000, since the initial commit; - scanning is done by a periodic kthread. Reading the debugfs file only lists what the last scan found; kmemleak_open() calls seq_open() and never scans.

Documentation: kmemleak: describe the metadata pool, not the early log
Patch series "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default". The first two patches fix statements in Documentation/dev-tools/kmemleak.rst that do not match mm/kmemleak.c. The third requires one more consecutive unreferenced scan before a CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE kernel reports a leak on the console, to avoid the last false positives I am seeing when running CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE on a daily basis.

Documentation: dev-tools: update container.rst with config file
Update the container.rst documentation page with a new section for the TOML configuration file, its associated command line options and an intro paragraph. Also clarify how UIDs and GIDs are used as a GID can be set in the config file while a UID is provided on the command line. Provide a sample config using the TuxMake images with an example to show how to simplify the command line syntax. Bump the requirement from Python 3.10 to 3.11 which is when tomllib was introduced since it is a new dependency.

mm: kmemleak: report leaks only after N consecutive unreferenced scans
kmemleak reports an object the first scan it is found unreferenced. Its mark phase runs without stopping the rest of the kernel and without a write barrier, so a live object whose only reference is briefly invisible during a concurrent RCU update -- e.g. a VMA moved between maple tree nodes, or a page-cache xa_node -- can be seen as unreferenced for that one scan. Because an object is flagged as reported only once, such a transient race turns into a permanent false positive. Track how many consecutive scans each object has been seen unreferenced and only report it once that reaches min_unref_scans, a new module parameter. It defaults to 1, leaving the behaviour unchanged; setting it higher (e.g. 2) still reports a genuine leak, one scan later, while an object referenced again before the threshold restarts its run and is never reported. min_unref_scans can be set at boot with kmemleak.min_unref_scans=<n> or at run-time via /sys/module/kmemleak/parameters/min_unref_scans.

It has been a not-too-busy cycle for docs; here's the highlights:
- A (hopefully) consensus change to our LLM-attribution requirements,
removing the specific model name from the Assisted-by tag.
- A couple of new realtime documents
- Various docs-build-system fixes
- Ongoing work with the Chinese, Portuguese, and Japanese translations.
...and lots of typo fixes, grammar tweaks, etc.

Documentation: kunit: Fix outdated FAQ entries
The KUnit FAQ was written when KUnit in general, and kunit.py in particular, were very heavily focused on UML. While they were updated slightly when qemu support was added, they've not really kept pace with changes to KUnit or the structure of the rest of the documentation. Update them to describe how to run kunit.py with non-UML architectures, and to point to the run_manual.rst page for further detail on how to run KUnit without kunit.py, as it's the authoratative documentation on that subject.

docs: kselftest: remove link to obsolete wiki
Remove the reference to the obsolete kselftest wiki. The kselftest wiki is marked obsolete and is no longer updated. The last edit was in 2019, and the information is outdated, referring readers for support to IRC networks that have not been used for years, and to kernel versions that are no longer supported. If there is any relevant information left in the wiki it needs to be cleaned up and moved into the canonical kselftest documentation here.

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.
... with help by André Almeida:
- Add a note about robust list race condition (André Almeida)
- Add self-tests for robust release operations (André Almeida)
Context analysis updates:
- Implement context analysis for 'struct rt_mutex'.
(Bart Van Assche)
- Bump required Clang version to 23 (Marco Elver)
Guard infrastructure updates:
- Series to remove NULL check from unconditional guards
(Dmitry Ilvokhin)
Lockdep updates:
- Restore self-test migrate_disable() and sched_rt_mutex
state on PREEMPT_RT (Karl Mehltretter)
Membarriers updates:
- Use per-CPU mutexes for targeted commands (Aniket Gattani)
- Modernize membarrier_global_expedited with cleanup guards
(Aniket Gattani)
- Add rseq stress test for CFS throttle interactions (Aniket Gattani)
percpu-rwsems updates:
- Extract __percpu_up_read() to optimize inlining overhead
(Dmitry Ilvokhin)
Seqlocks updates:
- Allow UBSAN_ALIGNMENT to fail optimizing (Heiko Carstens)
Lock tracing:
- Add contended_release tracepoint to sleepable locks
such as mutexes, percpu-rwsems, rtmutexes, rwsems
and semaphores. (Dmitry Ilvokhin)
MAINTAINERS updates:
- MAINTAINERS: Add RUST [SYNC] entry (Boqun Feng)
Misc updates and fixes by Randy Dunlap, YE WEI-HONG,
Fabricio Parra, Dmitry Ilvokhin and Peter Zijlstra.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"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.

kunit: tool: Add (primitive) support for outputting JUnit XML
This is used by things like Jenkins and other CI systems, which can pretty-print the test output and potentially provide test-level comparisons between runs. The implementation here is pretty basic: it only provides the raw results, split into tests and test suites, and doesn't provide any overall metadata. However, CI systems like Jenkins can ingest it and it is already useful.

kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for Propeller
The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary. Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies the kconfig and avoids potential confusion. Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The Propeller documentation has been updated to reflect the most recent tool location and now includes instructions for arm64.

kcov: allow simultaneous KCOV_ENABLE/KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE
Allow the same userspace thread to simultaneously collect normal coverage in syscall context (KCOV_ENABLE) and remote coverage of asynchronous work created by the thread (KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE). With this, remote KCOV coverage becomes useful for generic fuzzing and not just fuzzing of specific data injection interfaces. This requires that the task_struct::kcov_* fields are separated into ones that are used by the task that generates coverage, and ones that are used by the task that requested remote coverage. To split this up: - Split task_struct::kcov into kcov and kcov_remote. kcov_task_exit() now has to clean up both separately. - Only use task_struct::kcov_mode on the task that generates coverage. - Only reset task_struct::kcov_handle on the task that requested remote coverage. After this change, fields used by the task that generates coverage are: - kcov_mode - kcov_size - kcov_area - kcov - kcov_sequence - kcov_softirq Fields used by the task that requested remote coverage are: - kcov_remote - kcov_handle [jannh@google.com: remove unused constant KCOV_MODE_REMOTE, per Dmitry] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260515-kcov-simultaneous-remote-v2-1-56fde1cfa509@google.com [jannh@google.com: update documentation on remote coverage collection] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260519-kcov-docs-v1-1-5bb22f4cb20c@google.com [jannh@google.com: move and reword sentence on simultaneous normal/remote collection Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260520-kcov-docs-v2-1-819f78778763@google.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260505-kcov-simultaneous-remote-v1-1-a670ba7cefd2@google.com Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@gmail.com> Cc: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

checkpatch: allow passing config directory
checkpatch.pl searches for .checkpatch.conf in $CWD, $HOME and $CWD/.scripts. Allow passing a single directory via CHECKPATCH_CONFIG_DIR environment variable (empty value is ignored). This allows to directly use project configuration file for projects which vendored checkpatch.pl (e.g. LTP or u-boot). Although it'd be more convenient for user to have --conf-dir option (instead of using environment variable), code would get ugly because options from the configuration file needs to be read before processing command line options with Getopt::Long. While at it, document directories and environment variable in -h help and HTML doc.

compiler-context-analysis: Bump required Clang version to 23
Clang 23 introduces several major improvements: 1. Support for multiple arguments in the `guarded_by` and `pt_guarded_by` attributes [1]. This allows defining variables protected by multiple context locks, where read access requires holding at least one lock (shared or exclusive), and write access requires holding all of them exclusively. 2. Function pointer support [2]. We can now add attributes to function pointers just like we do on normal functions. 3. A fix to use arrays of locks [3]. Each index is now correctly treated as a separate lock instance. 4. A fix for implicit member access in attributes [4]. This allows to use __guarded_by(&foo->lock) correctly. Overall that makes it worthwhile bumping the compiler version instead of trying to make both Clang 22 and later work while supporting these new features.

docs: kselftest: Document the FORCE_TARGETS build variable
FORCE_TARGETS has been part of the kselftest build system for some time but is absent from the developer documentation. Without an entry here, users relying on kselftest in CI pipelines would have to read the selftests Makefile directly to discover the option. A build that exits zero despite some targets failing can mask real breakage and mislead automated systems into reporting success. Add a dedicated section so that CI authors can easily find and adopt FORCE_TARGETS=1 to turn such silent partial failures into hard errors.

A busier cycle than I had expected for docs, including:
- Translations: some overdue updates to the Japanese translations, Chinese
translations for some of the Rust documentation, and the beginnings of a
Portuguese translation.
- New documents covering CPU isolation, managed interrupts, debugging
Python gbb scripts, and more.
- More tooling work from Mauro, reducing docs-build warnings, adding self
tests, improving man-page output, bringing in a proper C tokenizer to
replace (some of) the mess of kernel-doc regexes, and more.
- Update and synchronize changes.rst and scripts/ver_linux, and put both
into alphabetical order.
...and a long list of documentation updates, typo fixes, and general
improvements.

kfence: add kfence.fault parameter
Add kfence.fault parameter to control the behavior when a KFENCE error is detected (similar in spirit to kasan.fault=<mode>). The supported modes for kfence.fault=<mode> are: - report: print the error report and continue (default). - oops: print the error report and oops. - panic: print the error report and panic. In particular, the 'oops' mode offers a trade-off between no mitigation on report and panicking outright (if panic_on_oops is not set).

Commit 60f3ada4174f ("kunit: Add --list_suites to show suites") introduced
the --list_suites option to kunit.py, but the update to the corresponding

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

A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is still a
fair amount going on, including:
- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation
- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for patch
submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption by
generative tools.
- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to tools/docs. For
now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink behind to avoid breaking
scripts.
- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of documentation in
Python code, better support for documenting variables, and lots of
improvements and fixes.
- Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example -- to
the online pages in the HTML build.
...and the usual array of typo fixes and such.

checkpatch: add an invalid patch separator test
Some versions of tools that apply patches incorrectly allow lines that start with 3 dashes and have additional content on the same line. Checkpatch will now emit an ERROR on these lines and optionally convert those lines from dashes to equals with --fix.

compiler-context-analysis: Introduce scoped init guards
Add scoped init guard definitions for common synchronization primitives supported by context analysis. The scoped init guards treat the context as active within initialization scope of the underlying context lock, given initialization implies exclusive access to the underlying object. This allows initialization of guarded members without disabling context analysis, while documenting initialization from subsequent usage. The documentation is updated with the new recommendation. Where scoped init guards are not provided or cannot be implemented (ww_mutex omitted for lack of multi-arg guard initializers), the alternative is to just disable context analysis where guarded members are initialized.

Documentation: use a source-read extension for the index link boilerplate
The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't. For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst, but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a ".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html builds. This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the root document. Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py. For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

Documentation: dev-tools: add container.rst page
Add a dev-tools/container.rst documentation page for the scripts/container tool. This covers the basic usage with additional information about environment variables and user IDs. It also includes a number of practical examples with a reference to the experimental kernel.org toolchain images. Update MAINTAINERS accordingly with a reference to the added file.

kunit: add bash completion
Currently, kunit.py has many subcommands and options, making it difficult to remember them without checking the help message. Add --list-cmds and --list-opts to kunit.py to get available commands and options, use those outputs in kunit-completion.sh to show completion. This implementation is similar to perf and tools/perf/perf-completion.sh. Example output: $ source tools/testing/kunit/kunit-completion.sh $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py [TAB][TAB] build config exec parse run $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --k[TAB][TAB] --kconfig_add --kernel_args --kunitconfig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260117-kunit-completion-v2-1-cabd127d0801@gmail.com Reviewed-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ryota Sakamoto <sakamo.ryota@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> |
